Through the collaborative efforts of my council colleagues, I’m confident this Committee will find solid solutions to Houston’s infrastructure needs,” states Council Member Green.
“The committee chairs have been selected with much attention to their areas of expertise and personal interest. I know Council Member Green will serve the City and his constituents well in this new capacity. We have a lot of work to get done in the next two years. I intend to depend on the work of the council committees to help push this aggressive agenda forward,” states Mayor Parker.
