NOTE FROM THE MAYOR Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Citizens of Nassau Bay,
I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season. We have much to look forward to in 2025. In 2024, City Council has focused its attention on Infrastructure, Beautification, Recovery from Hurricane Beryl, Marine Safety by establishing boating No Wake Zones, Economic Development, as well as fixing the long-term problem of pay equity for our Police Officers. I appreciate many of the comments that the improvements we have made to the City have become obvious. To date we have completed over 10 linear miles of underground water and sanitary line repairand replacement, 65 significant city street repairs, over 7000 dead plants removed and replanted including 25 majestic palms on Nasa Rd 1. Our Parks have never looked better than they do now, but Swan Lagoon and Founder’s Park have finally been given the attention they deserved.
FEBRUARY 2025
IN RECOGNITON We are thrilled to recognize and celebrate the exceptional achievements of our outstanding team members!
Early in 2025, you will see your tax dollars at hard work once again improving our City. Improvements you will see include: In January, we will begin the replacement and enlargement of the main water line and header system that runs from Saturn Lane to the Hilton Hotel up on Nasa Rd 1. This investment is primarily to enhance the overall water pressure across the city to maintain our ability to fight fires at the highest level and which reduces the insurance rates you pay to protect your home. In February, we will plant the last addition of Medjool Palms totaling 32 more palms to be placed from Upper Bay Rd towards the Hilton as well as fill in spaces to complete the earlier plantings. This should conclude the Palm replacements for Nasa Rd. 1. In March, we will begin the last and final repair/replacement of 4 linear miles of underground water distribution lines. This will bring the overall replacement to 14 linear miles of pipe repairs in our less than 2 square mile city. Our underground infrastructure will now be the newest infrastructure in all of Clear Lake and hopefully we can say goodbye to water main breaks. In April, we will begin repairing over 10 identified City Street repairs,replacement as well as begin the refurbishment of our City Water Tower both inside and out. The Water Tower repair will keep us from having to replace what would be a new $3million Tower. There will also be continued improvements over the entire year for our Parks which will include a new ADA merry go round in David Braun Park, a new boat dock on the creek side of David Braun Park as well as more Moon Trees and other park improvements. Lastly I believe we will see 3 main areas of Economic Development to our City. These 3 areas are: A new Dialysis Facility at the entrance of Upper Bay and Nasa Rd 1 where the old Shell station and repair shop stood; the repair and renovation of the Luby’s restaurant into an upscale family sit down restaurant and bar; and finally, the repair and renovation of the Hilton Hotel to restore this property to a proper Resort Hotel most likely not as a Hilton property. I am also very glad to report that the City’s financial position is at the strongest level in our history all while we have endeavored to complete the largest reinvestment back into our City to what will exceed $25 million when we are finished. Much thanks goes to your elected City Council and especially our City Staff for what we all see as progress to our City. These achievements came to us working as a team and working with a united purpose to make Nassau Bay a better neighborhood. Thanks also goes to our many citizens for pointing out to Council and Staff where we can improve and most importantly for volunteering in all the events that make us Nassau Bay.
Congratulations to our Employee of the Year, Robert Villanueva, for their dedication and commitment to excellence; our Supervisor of the Year, Elias Jahen, for their outstanding leadership and mentorship; and our Officer of the Year, Benjamin Bedford, for their unwavering service and exemplary performance. Their hard work and passion inspire us all and reflect the very best of our team’s values and mission. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments!
