City Council Faces Flooding Crisis and Community Concerns
City officials in Rosenberg announced upcoming closures and community events during a recent council meeting. In observance of Juneteenth, all city facilities will be closed on Wednesday, June 19th. Additionally, a Mother-Son Dance is scheduled for Friday, June 28th, from 6 to 9 PM at the Rosenberg Civic Center. The event will feature dancing, a formal photo opportunity, a 360 photo booth, sweet treats, and games. Tickets are priced at $25 for adults, while children can attend for free. Advance purchase is required, with tickets available online at rosenbergtx.gov or by calling the city.

During the public comment segment, residents voiced concerns regarding local issues. Jesse Pardo, a resident of Junker Street, expressed frustration over ongoing flooding problems in his neighborhood, which have persisted since Hurricane Harvey in 2017. He highlighted that despite federal funding being allocated, the situation remains unresolved, with flooding occurring multiple times this year. Pardo urged the council for assistance and clarity on the status of the federal funds.

Another resident, Alice Joswick, raised an issue regarding a cat she had taken to the animal shelter. Joswick requested a letter from the city to officially adopt the cat, which had returned to her home after being released back into the neighborhood. She criticized the city's handling of the animal shelter's operations and called for accountability regarding promises made to residents about animal care.

The council acknowledged the residents' concerns, with officials indicating they would follow up on the issues raised. The meeting proceeded to discuss the consent agenda, which included various items for approval, with council members encouraged to ask questions before moving forward. The council unanimously approved the consent agenda, allowing them to continue with the meeting's agenda items.
