B
Let
us
do
that,
and
so
lord
we
come
humbly
before
you
recognizing
that,
apart
from
you
god,
we
can't
do
this,
lord,
that
as
the
mayor,
she
cannot
do
all
she
called
to
do,
and
this
entire
city
council
cannot
be
who
they
are
called
to
be
the
public
servants.
Lord
lord,
you
also
spoke
in
your
word
and
said
that
if
we
would
humble
ourself
before
you
that
you
would
give
us
grace,
but
you
would
resist
those
who
are
in
pride
and
so,
according
to
your
word,
both
in
the
old
and
the
new
testament.
B
Lord,
we
are
here
to
beseech
you
lord,
to
honor
you
first
and
foremost
above
everything,
and
we
do
thank
you,
god
that
you
have
continued
to
give
us
grace,
and
so
I
do
pray
and
ask
that
you
would
multiply
it
that
grace
and
peace
will
be
multiplied
upon
each
and
every
single
city
council
member
here
upon
the
mayor
and
upon
all
of
our
public
servants
and
it's
in
jesus
name.
We
pray,
amen.
C
C
A
A
E
A
Thank
you.
We
don't
have
any
presentations
or
recognitions
today.
So
now
would
be
the
time
for
any
citizen
who
wishes
to
speak.
If
you
would
like
to
make
public
comment
today
on
scheduled
agenda
items,
one
two
or
the
consent
agenda,
the
time
to
do
so
is
now.
If
you
would
like
to
speak
on
one
of
these
items-
and
you
haven't
already
done
so-
please
fill
out
the
green
slip
at
the
rear
of
the
room
and
hand
it
to
the
city
clerk
at
the
front
of
the
room.
She
will
call
out
your
name.
A
A
G
I
wanted
to
tell
you
all
thank
you
all
for
funding
us
again.
This
year
it's
been
going
to
be
29
years
this
year
that
we
have
been
partners
with
y'all,
and
I
hope
that
29
years
from
now
we're
still
doing
the
same,
and
I
hope
we're
all
here
I
might
not
be,
and
some
of
us
may
not
be,
but
let's,
let's
take
a
stab
at
it
and
see
if
we
can
keep
working
together.
G
I
wanted
to
tell
y'all.
We
had
a
great
year.
We
you
know
with
the
corona
and
everything
else,
it's
been
kind
of
hectic,
but
we
I've
actually
been
going
to
work
every
day.
I
don't
like
staying
at
home
and
I
got
an
empty
building.
I'm
sitting
inside,
I
felt
pretty
safe,
but
lauren
did
a
little
bit
of
work
at
home
for
a
couple
of
months,
but
we're
back
to
full
steam
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
things
going
on.
It.
Doesn't
seem
like
you
know,
people
are
still
calling
and
asking
about
buildings.
G
We've
had
a
lot
of
people
doing
that
with
our
website.
That's
so
popular
through
the
thc,
and
we
have
a
couple
of
investors
right
now
that
are
talking
to
us
about
buildings
when
I'm
from
amarillo
and
one
of
them
from
houston.
But
we're
excited
to
you
know
be
doing
some
of
the
things
we're
doing.
But
what
I
really
want
to
do
today
is,
I
left
you
all
a
sheet
about
the
oktoberfest.
We
can.
G
People
on
facebook
are
going
to
vote
to
get
that
famous
red
fire
hydrant
if
they
can
win
first
place
and
we've
already
had
9
000
people
on
our
facebook.
Looking
at
it
and
it's
a
good
opportunity,
if
y'all
have
a
dog
to
enter
because
a
lot
of
times,
people
bring
their
dogs
and
when
they're
up
on
the
stage
the
dog
gets
nervous
and
he
doesn't
maybe
do
the
trick
that
he
normally
does.
G
H
Here
today,
to
represent
the
art
museum
of
southeast
texas.
Yes,
sir,
all
right.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
y'all
for
y'all
continue
to
support
the
museum.
I've
been
at
the
museum
28
years
now,
so
y'all
have
been
supporting
us
way
before
I
arrived.
So
thank
you
all.
So
much
covert
was
challenging
for
us
as
it
you
know,
especially
on
the
education
side,
I'm
the
curator
of
education
program.
H
It
was
really
challenging
for
us
because
we
are
linked
with
the
school
system.
We
are
an
extension
of
the
school
system.
As
many
of
you
didn't
know,
we
have
14
educational
programs.
We
service
80
miles
in
any
direction
for
a
moment,
so,
especially
in
the
rural
communities.
Your
pine
lands,
your
jaspers
and
our
program
relationship
is
tied
with
bisd.
H
We
have
about
10
programs
with
bisd
art
after
school,
which
is
our
after
school
program
for
fourth
graders,
our
eighth
grade
program,
which
is
with
odom
academy
a
high
school
program
which
is
through
our
protege
art,
competition
and
inca.
In
collaboration
with
lamar
university,
we
go
out
of
scholarship
to
the
first
places
and
second
place
and
third
place
winners
of
those
competitions.
H
So
we
were
able
to
create
get
through
most
of
those
programs
unaffected,
but
once
february
hit,
we
had
a
lot
of
drawback
and
we
we
had
to
reinvent
the
wheel
kind
of
even
this
summer.
We
had
to
reinvent
how
we
were
doing
education
programs,
we
partnered
with
cops
and
kids
and
a
fire
museum
for
our
august
drive-through
family
arts
day,
and
it
was
a
really
success.
We
had
over
502
people
drive
through
over
206
cars
came
through
and
we
practiced
social
distances.
So
everything
was
in
bags.
H
So
we
handed
everything
out
all
the
instructions
to
complete
the
art
activities
was
in
there
all
the
stuff
they
needed
was
in
there.
So
we
were
really
thrilled
about
that
in
october.
On
the
31st
we're
gonna.
Do
our
october
drive
two
family?
What's
today,
miss
ames
just
being
it's
called
eat
a
bug,
yeah
bill
clark,
pest
control
usually
comes
out
and
cook
bugs
this
year,
they're
gonna
do
chocolate
covered
bugs
and
they're
gonna
have
a
station,
and
we
partnered
once
again,
with
ryan
with
dinosaur
day
will
be
taking
place.
That
day.
H
Also
we
have
the
bulma
public
library
we're
participating.
The
fire
museum,
the
mcfadden
ward
house,
so
kind
of
social
distance
in
the
museum
parking
lot
and
cars
will
literally
just
drive
through
so
we're
still
trying
to
be
an
asset
to
the
community,
still
reach
out
to
the
community,
we're
working
still
with
bisd
to
formulate
a
plan
to
continue
our
programs.
H
We
have
a
plan
in
place
with
school
returning
floor
strength
next
week
on
the
12th,
we'll
start
working
with
virtual
programs
with
them
to
continue
our
after
school
programs
and
so
on,
and
we
do
have
the
museum
expansion
going
on
the
education
wing.
If
you
didn't
know,
it's
probably,
I
would
say:
look
it's
about
about
45
done.
They
are
now
kind
of
putting
in
the
wiring
and
everything.
So
that's
going
to
allow
us
to
even
bring
in
more
programs.
H
In
a
sense,
we
can
create
social
distance
because
we'll
have
a
much
larger
space
to
do
that
with
so
that's
going
to
be
a
great
help,
our
exhibition's
up.
We
have
an
exhibition
up
now
in
partnership
with
the
title
museum.
We
have
some
of
their
artwork
on
display
about
60
of
their
pieces
on
display
at
the
museum
they
have
another
of
about
60
of
our
pieces
for
my
perimeter,
collection
on
display
and
tyler,
and
then
in
the
back
gallery.
We
have
part
of
our
permanent
collection
on
display
as
well.
H
So
you
know
thank
y'all
once
again
for
supporting
the
museum
and
supporting
the
program
that
we're
doing
at
the
museum.
We
try
to
be
a
pilot
community
and
a
reflection
of
the
community
using
our
programs
to
reach
diverse
crowd,
creating
diversity
and
inclusion
for
everybody
in
beaumont
and
without
y'all
support.
We
would
not
be
able
to
do
that
so
once
again.
On
behalf.
E
H
I
I
D
D
Typically
in
a
typical
year,
we
would
have
our
history-based
summer
camp
camp
looking
back
in
the
summer
and
that's
where
we
immersed
kids
and
what
it
was
like
to
live
here
in
the
1800s
as
well
as
we
have
multiple
annual
events
that
are
family-friendly,
low-cost
and
centered
around
holidays
and
those
are
the
easter
egg
hunt,
the
pumpkin
walk
and
honda
halloween
tour
and
then
the
christmas
candlelight
tour.
So
luckily,
all
those
took
place
just
fine
in
2019.
D
They
were
great
success.
However,
this
year
we
got
in.
In
addition,
we
have
an
outreach
program
called
heritage
happy
hour
and
in
that
we
showcase
historical
assets
within
the
city
that
we
are
not
personally
involved
with,
and
we've
had
those
in
some
of
the
city
buildings.
As
well
like
the
julie,
rogers,
theater
and
jefferson
theater
tarot,
historical
library,
we
did
get
that
one
in
before
the
pandemic
hit
in
february,
but
we
obviously
haven't
conducted
any
of
those
this
year
as
well.
So
we
are
trying
to
stay
relevant.
D
D
It
is
going
to
be
outside
socially
distance
near
the
french
museum
cemetery,
and
that
starts
at
7
30
and
runs
to
11
and
we're
going
to
show
night
of
the
living
dead
and
little
shop
of
horrors.
So
hopefully
we'll
get
some
people
out,
but
we
continue.
Last
year
we
had
2200
people
visit
and
we're
here
and
ready
when
the
pandemic
is
over
and
we
can
all
move
on.
So
thank
you
again
so
much
for
your
help.
We
really
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
so
much.
We.
E
You
ryan
smith,
600
main
street
by
my
texas
item
c
on
the
consent
agenda.
J
And
good
afternoon,
so
again
on
behalf
of
the
texas
energy
museum
board
of
directors,
I
want
to
thank
city
council
in
the
city
again
for
the
continued
support
everybody's
been
talking
about
years.
I
think
for
us
it's
the
same
thing
going
on
30
years
now,
so
tremendous
support
from
the
city,
as
everybody
else
has
said,
2020
has
been
a
tough,
interesting
and
challenging
year
and
since
last
year,
at
this
same
time,
our
attendance
was
half
of
what
it
was
in
previous
years.
So
we
hate,
we
don't
really
give
you
with
those
numbers
right.
J
Well,
we
kind
of
want
to
just
say
we're
going
to
look
forward
to
a
better
21.
and
obviously
during
this,
our
biggest
seasons
during
the
summer.
From
march
till
august,
when
we
were
closed,
we
opened
the
first
of
august.
J
You
know
we
were
closed,
and
so
that's
our
tourist
season,
that's
our
kids
season
with
the
schools
and
then,
of
course,
you
had
lars.
So
we
had
you
know
he
had
all
these
closures
in
there.
So
obviously
that
was
tough
on
our
visitors,
but
the
good
news
is
that
we
continue
to
work
through
these
things.
In
a
lot
of
offline
or
online
off-site
production,
and
so
we
developed
hands-on
activities
for
kids
that
you
could
go
on
our
website
and
you
could
do
these
activities
at
home.
We
do.
J
We
have
one
minute
virtual
museum
tours,
you
can
click
on
our
website
and
get
these
little
tours
and
it.
The
good
news
is
that
our
virtual
resources
basically
doubled.
J
So
we
have
almost
a
9
000
contacts
through
these
these
virtual
visits
and
and
tours
last
october,
as
as
andy
just
mentioned,
the
art
museum
we
had
about
1
500,
that
came
for
last
year's
dinosaur
day
and
this
year
it's
going
to
be
collaborative
with
the
art,
museum
and
others
on
doing
a
drive-through,
so
they'll
get
bags
of
dinosaur,
goodies
and
crafts
and
things
they
can
take
home
with
them.
J
We're
still
going
to
put
your
favorite
paper
mache
dinosaurs
up
in
the
lawn,
so
during
the
whole
month
of
november,
they
can
come
by
and
take
photographs
with
the
kids.
So
we
can
do.
We
can
do
that
on
the
lawn
other
collaborative
events
that
we've
done
through
the
last
year
include
the
opening
of
the
cultural
arts
district.
That
was
back
in
november
the
community
science
day.
J
We
did
with
the
children's
museum
and
the
art
museum
back
in
november
and
of
course
we
have
our
annual
children's
holiday
party
that
was
on
in
december,
so
those
things
again
worked
in
the
fall
and
winter
and
they
were
working
to
the
spring.
J
So
again,
we
continue
to
work
very
closely
with
the
convention
and
visitors
bureau
and
bringing
tourists
we're
everybody's
kind
of
looking
toward
a
new
direction
on
tourism
during
this
time,
but
we
think
there's
some
exciting
things
going
on
and
going
to
happen
through
all
of
this
we're
going
to
come
through
this
bigger
and
stronger
as
they
say
so
again.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
support.
Thank
you.
So
much.
F
F
Go
ahead,
please
thank
you,
mr
manager.
I
know
we've
got
five
different
non-profits
that
we're
looking
at
making
a
just
like
a
quarterly
contribution
to
and
the
the
pay
skills
on
these
things
kind
of
vary
all
over
the
place.
Can
you
kind
of
explain
how
we
come
up
with
what
we're
paying
and
how
these
individuals
were
selected.
K
The
dollar
amounts,
for
the
most
part
have
stayed
the
same,
probably
for
probably
for
let's
say,
10
plus
years.
Let's
go
back
and
look
at
the
history,
but
we've
tried
to
keep
the
dollar
amounts
the
same
just
because
the
hot
revenue
has
not
really
grown
that
much
and
and
these
entities
have
been
very
good
about
going
out
and
raising
funds.
K
Knowing
that
you
know
the
contribution
from
the
city
is
valuable
at
the
same
time,
if
we
tried
to
keep
it,
keep
it
the
same,
so
I
don't
know
maybe
the
history
from
the
beginning
with
say
the
art
museum
energy
museum.
You
have
to
meet
certain
criteria
to
get
the
hot
funds,
and
only
so
much
certain
percentages
in
the
legislation
can
go,
for
example,
to
promote
the
arts.
So
it
depends.
K
And
we
own
y'all
know
we
own
the
art
museum
building
the
city.
Does
we
own
the
energy
museum
building,
so
each
one's
a
little
different
main
street
rents,
a
location
downtown,
the
john
jay
french
museum?
You
know
they
own
that
property,
of
course,
and
we
just
help
them
on
an
annual
basis,
operating
expenses
and
so
forth.
So
it's
been
a
it's
been
a
collaborative
effort
for
decades.
That's
worked
very
well.
A
K
K
The
major
changes
relate
to
pension
contributions,
wage
increases,
currently
the
city
and
the
employee
contribute
15
and
a
half
percent
of
each
employee's
salary
to
the
pension
fund.
The
proposed
agreement
requires
the
city
to
gradually
increase
the
contributions
to
18
by
october
of
2023,
and
the
employee
will
gradually
increase
their
contributions
to
18
by
october
of
2022..
K
The
agreement
also
provides
for
wage
increases
of
three
percent
effective
upon
signing
the
new
agreement
three
percent
in
year,
two
three
percent
in
year,
three
and
four
percent
in
year.
Four
I'd
like
to
especially
thank
jeff
neeson
who's,
the
president
cody
hinden
and
brian
hebert,
with
the

I'd
also
like
to
thank
chief
earl
white
todd
simoneau

Now
is
the
time
for
any
citizen
who
wishes
to
speak.
If
you
would
like
to
make
general
comments
today,
now's
the
time
to
do
so,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
if
you
haven't
already
done
so,
and
you
would
like
to
speak,
please
fill
out
the
green
slip
at
the
rear
of
the
room
and
the
officer
will
give
it
to
the
city
clerk
at
the
front
of
the
room.
She
will
call
out
your
name
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
A
A
N

N
It
was
mentioned
in
one
of
the
meetings
about
the
capital
project
program
which
had
been
asked
about
certain
areas
to
be
investigated.
I
think
it
may
not
be
the
correct
word
for
that,
but
but
since
evelyn
lloyd
was
president,
we've
asked
for
the
southern
part
of
town,
the
drainage,
you
name
it
and
we've
been
having
problems
with
sewage
and
you
name
it.
We've
been
trying
and
complaining
and
begging
for
help.
Okay.
So
now
it's
coming
to
view
that
I-10
and
walden
road
is
asked
to
be
cut
and
put
on
your
agenda.
N
This
was
never
a
street
before
all
those
streets
out
there
by
the
mall
was
really
never
streets
before
and
y'all
cut
those
streets
made
beautiful
roads
out
of
them
we're
still
asking
for
help
in
the
southern
part
of
town,
okay
in
the
minority
community,
so
we've
been
requesting
for
this
service,
since
it
feels
like
forever
and
nothing's
been
done.
What?
N
If
the
people
from
the
pear
orchard
south
park
north
end
and
some
of
the
west
end
were
to
hold
our
pay,
our
payments,
which
is
our
property
tax
until
something
is
done
in
these
communities
and
speaking
to
several
people,
while
just
just
talking
I've
received
a
few
calls
from
lawyers
out
of
houston,
saying
it
is
doable
and
they
said
hold.
I
hold
our
funds
in
an
account
and
filing
discriminations
against
the
city
of
beaumont,
as
our
tax
dollars
are
not
being
used
and
utilized
in
our
communities.
N
We're
getting
nothing
done,
one
street
every
night,
then
and
then
nothing,
nothing
else.
I
know
when
you
say
I
know
when
you
sue
the
city
we'll
be
suing
ourselves.
I
know
that
as
a
fact
think
about
it.
What
are
we
getting
out
of
our
tax
dollars
now?
Nothing,
but
the
rest
of
the
city
is
getting
things
done
in
their
communities,
so
on
some
of
and
on
the
backs
of
our
dollars.
N
Sarah
street
is
a
freeway
now
y'all
gave
us
sarah
street
and
now
washington
boulevard.
Sarah
street
is
a
freeway
once
you
leave
lamar
university
and
you
come
across
that
railroad
track.
It's
a
speedway,
my
grandbaby
got
killed
on
that
street.
So
that's
why
it's
to
my
heart.
We
need
something
done.
I've
mentioned,
I
call
councilwoman
robin
mouton,
I'm
out
of
my
home
and
I'm
into
the
pearl
orchard
neighborhood
right
now,
due
to
repairs
from
the
flooding
of
my
home.
So
I've
asked
robin
mouton
to
look
into
these
speed
bumps.
N
I
asked
why
can't
we
get
speed
bumps
on
that
street?
That
would
deter
a
lot
of
that
traffic.
It
would
at
least
slow
them
down
somewhat.
Also.
We
I've
been
talking
with
singletary
about
the
street
and
the
speeding
and
the
traffic.
It's
ridiculous.
We
have
18
wheelers
passing
on
this
street.
This
is
tearing
up
our
streets
and,
according
to
their
officers
saying
there
shouldn't
be
a
police
officer.
I
mean
it
shouldn't
be
18
wheelers
on
that
street.
At
all
what
happened
to
it
now
we've
got
like
a
maverick.
N
N
I'm
every
problem:
I
try
to
bring
a
solution.
What
that
is
speed,
bumps
traffic
control
on
our
street.
I
may
get
a
ticket
myself
on
that
street
because
you
forget,
you
know
30
miles
an
hour
is
not
very
fast,
but
still
it's
in
the
community,
so
they
don't
stop
at
the
stop
signs
from
levaca
or
when
you
cross.
The
railroad
track
is
where
all
the
racing
began,
and
so
we're
asking
for
help
on
that
particular
street.
N
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
ms
pratos,
and
maybe
you
could
visit
with
councilmember
mouton
later,
because
we
did
talk
quite
a
bit
about
south
park
this
morning
at
a
work
session
and
some
streets
in
south
part,
two
of
them
actually
and
that
are
very
big
projects.
If
we
get
a
grant
and
as
far
as
the
dallin
extension
that
you
mentioned,
that's
just
on
the
capitol
plan.
That's
not
funded!
It's
not
set
to
go
forward
at
this
time.
O
O
I
even
mentioned
to
chief
singletary
today,
one
of
the
citizens
that
had
been
calling
her
in
reference
to
some
streets,
and
I
think
everyone
here
can
attest
to
the
conversation
that
I
was
brought
up
and
it
was
again
what
ms
pratos
mentioned
about
sarah
street
and
some
of
the
problems
that
we're
having
not
only
on
sarah
but
washington
and
with
our
homeless
situation.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
situations
that
may
appear
to
not
be
addressed,
but
I
can
attest
that
they
are
being
addressed
and
on
a
regular
basis.
O
I
do
have
citizens
calling
me
in
reference
to
to
several
things
in
the
ward
and
drainage
and
of
course,
sewage
has
been
a
problem
across
our
city
and
it's
nothing
foreign
not
only
to
beaumont
but
to
most
cities
and
it's
a
problem.
It's
an
ongoing
problem,
but
nevertheless
it's
a
problem
and
when
it's
your
problem,
it's
even
worse,
because
then
you
have
to
deal
with
the
the
mess
of
it
and
I'm
no
stranger
to
it,
because
I
I've
spent
one
of
my
saturdays
doing
the
same
thing
and
it's
not
fun.
O
O
After
today
that
the
workshop
that
we
had
that
those
things
are
being
addressed-
and
so
I
feel
really
really
good
about
it,
especially
with
three
of
the
main
problems
being
addressed
with
drainage
in
my
ward,
also
one
another
thing
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
is
community
policing
that
we're
going
to
go
back
to
seeing
officers
in
our
community
and
on
the
streets,
and
hopefully
some
of
the
speeding
and
some
of
the
things
that
are
going
on.
O
I
know
a
lot
of
people
look
at
washington
boulevard
just
what
it
is
as
a
boulevard,
but
when
you
live
in
a
resident
right
off
of
a
busy
street
or
a
major
street
such
as
washington
boulevard,
it's
hard
to
just
get
in
and
out
of
of
your
neighborhood,
especially
when
you're
trying
to
you're
at
a
dead.
Stop
a
stop
sign
and
trying
to
come
off,
come
out
to
cars
that
are
going
40
and
50
miles
an
hour
and
you're
sitting
at
a
dead,
stop
trying
to
get
out.
O
That's
something
that
is
definitely
being
addressed
and
and
sarah
street
it
is.
Sarah
street
is
just
an
open
freeway
and
I
I
grew
up
in
that
area.
My
my
grandmother
lives
on
the
corner
of
sarah
and
lou
street,
so
we
have
a
family
house.
That's
there.
It's
been
there
for
90
something
years,
and
so
I'm
quite
familiar
with
the
speeding.
O
I
Thank
you
mayor
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
we
were
talking
about
a
number
of
different
things
as
it
related
to
covet
and
opening
up
and
trying
to
be
responsible,
and
I
made
the
point
that
it's
incumbent
upon
all
of
us
to
be
proactive,
as
it
relates
to
our
own
health
and
to
think
through
things
and
to
go,
see
your
doctor
regularly
to
make
sure
that
things
are
what
they
should
be.
I
The
reason
I
say
that
is
earlier
this
year,
my
good
friend
my
great
friend
and
terrific
doctor,
george
thomas,
I
went
in
to
see
him
and
he
said
you
know
your
psa
is
a
little
high
well,
and
I
want
to
watch
that,
and
I
said
you're
the
you're,
the
man.
I
So
he
gave
me
some
prescript
prescription
drug
and
nothing
really
happened.
So
he
said.
Let
me
do
this
one
more
time
and
he
said
it's
still
not
doing
what
it
should
be,
and
it
wasn't
that
high.
That's.
What's
so,
and
that's
why
I
won't
tell
you
what
a
great
doctor
george
is
my
psa,
really
wasn't
that
high
it's
less
than
seven
and
there
are
people
that
are
10
and
20.
I
I
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
biopsy,
so
he
did
and
he
came
back
and
said.
Well,
you
have
prostate
cancer.
It's
stage
two,
it's
progressive!
It's
aggressive
on
the
gleason
scale,
it's
a
nine
and
I
said
well
so
what?
What
do
you
suggest?
Because
those
of
you
that
know
me?
I
don't
worry
about
stuff.
If
jesus
said,
don't
worry,
I
ain't
worrying
and
he
said
well.
I
I
want
you
to
get
with
dr
miles
brian
miles,
one
of
the
world
renowned
urologists
over
at
methodist,
and
so
I
did
and
the
day
that
sheena's
funeral
and
the
reason
I
wasn't
there
is
because
I
was
visiting
with
dr
miles
on
evaluating
when
we
could
schedule
surgery,
and
so
we
talked
and
and
we
scheduled
it,
and
so
last
two
weeks
ago
after
I
stayed
here
until
six
o'clock
for
our
executive
session,
I
was
on
the
operating
table
the
next
day
in
houston,
texas
and
dr
miles,
who
is,
as
I
said,
a
world
renowned,
urologist.
I
I
We
got
everything
and
I'd
already
taken
a
bone
scan
and
lymph
node
and
everything
else,
and
so
there
wasn't
really
any
issues
there
and
last
week
when
I
missed
the
meeting
is
because
I
had
to
go
to
houston
and
remove
a
catheter,
and
for
those
of
you
never
had
to
wear
one
of
those
I
hope
you
don't
ever
have
to,
but
it's
awfully
inconvenient,
my
daughter,
suzanne
says
dad.
You
know
you
always
look
on
the
bright
spot.
Is
there
any
bright
spots
to
wearing
a
catheter?
I
I
said
yeah,
you
don't
have
to
wake
up
in
the
middle
of
the
night
to
go
to
the
bathroom
and
but
anyway,
so
for
the
last
couple
of
months.
This
is
some
of
the
things
that
I've
been
dealing
with,
that
the
only
people
that
really
knew
this
was
my
my
family
and
shereen,
of
course,
and
she's
done
a
wonderful
job,
because
you
know
when
it
with
the
sickness
and
health,
and
you
know,
and
all
the
things
you
don't
really
realize
it
until
you
are
sick.
I
How
important
it
is
to
have
a
partner
is
going
to
really
help
you,
but
the
reason
I
said
that
it
is
breast
cancer
awareness
month.
My
mother
died
of
breast
cancer.
Cancer
is
real,
I
mean
we've
been
so
focused
on
coving.
We
forget,
there
are
other
things
going
on
out
there.
I
It's
so
important
for
all
of
us
to
get
to
our
doctors
on
a
regular
basis,
and
I
go
see
george,
I
mean.
I
see
him
a
lot
more
often,
but
I
go
see
him
regularly.
Every
three
months
and
you've
got
to
take
that
kind
of
responsibility
and
go
look
after
yourself.
Those
doctors
are
brilliant,
they're,
smart.
I
I
I
So
I
encourage
all
of
you
if
you
haven't
done
that,
please
take
the
time
to
do
it.
It
does
make
a
difference,
and
I
appreciate
all
the
help
from
my
family
members
and
the
prayers,
because
it
does
make
a
difference
when
I
say
pray
for
us.
I
I
really
mean
it
and
we
have
to
deal
with
each
other
and
you
know,
as
sometimes
it
isn't
always
as
positive
as
we
would
like,
but
with
god's
help
we
can
get
better
and
I
know
we
want
to
do
that.
So.
L
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
commend
councilman
pate
for
being
transparent
and
sharing
his
situation
with
everybody
and
using
that
to
encourage
everyone
to
watch
their
health,
and
our
prayers
will
continue
to
go
out
to
you
as
you
continue
to
recover,
and
I
just
commend
you
for
for
doing
that
and
encouraging
the
citizens
to
to
pay
attention
so
well
done.
M
Councilmember
pate,
thank
you
again
for
that
and
I
will
be
calling
my
physician.
It's
a
timely
reminder.
It's
something
that
a
lot
of
us
just
might
not
think
about
like
we
should,
and
I
appreciate
that
and
we'll
continue
to
say
our
our
prayers
for
you
on
that.
So
well
done!
That's
all!
I
have.
