NATIONAL NIGHT OUT – OCT 2ND
What is National Night Out? National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes policecommunity partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhood a safer, more caring place to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement, while bringing back a true sense of community. Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities across the United States. In Texas, National Night Out is held on the first Tuesday in October. Neighborhoods host block parties, cookouts, and various other community events to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. Nassau Bay Police Officers and City staff will make their rounds to visit each registered event location. Block parties are held in your neighborhoods to provide a better opportunity for residents to meet those who live next to them. The Police Department will attempt to visit all registered locations. Police attendance at a NNO event cannot be guaranteed, but every effort is made to accommodate all requests every year. When is it? Tuesday, October 2, 2018 Where is it? In your neighborhoods! Host your neighborhood block party and register it with the Nassau Bay Police Department so we know where to go to visit you and your neighbors. How do I register my block party? Submit a registration form found online at www.nassaubay.com/NNO or inperson at the Nassau Bay Police Department (1800 Space Park Drive, Suite 200). Questions? Call us at 281.333.4211 ext. 2212.
CLEAR CREEK SHORELINE RESTORATION
A message from Mayor Mark Denman About a month ago our City was spared a major tragedy. A grandfather was pulling his grandkids on a tube in Clear Creek when the tube collided with our shoreline along Harbour Drive, nearly killing both children. As you may know, all along our side of Clear Creek is lined with broken chunks of concrete, deposited there over 50 years ago, even before the City's incorporation. There have been other incidents and many close calls that I have seen. But this latest incident was by far the worst that I am aware of having lived on Harbour Drive for over 25 years. I've had recent discussions (before this incident) with City Manager Jason Reynolds on what we might be able to do to improve shoreline aesthetics and protection. Currently, this concrete is beginning to sink, leaving areas of our shoreline subject to erosion. I've asked City Manager Reynolds to prioritize this item and to look for help in doing something less obtrusive. He is in talks with Commissioner Jack Morman’s office and other entities for funding assistance – it looks promising for a possible affordable and safe resolution. We hope you agree this is an important task and welcome your input as we explore all options. Sincerely,
Mark A. Denman, Mayor Nassau Bay City Hall | 1800 Space Park Drive, Suite 200 | Nassau Bay, TX 77058 | 281.333.4211
