The segment described the celebration in lighthearted terms but did not provide details about a successor, transition plan or any administrative actions related to the retirement.

The program identified DeCamillo by name and said his retirement “officially began on August 29.” No statement from DeCamillo or city officials about replacement or interim leadership was included in the transcript, and the transcript did not list any formal actions taken by the City of Stafford regarding succession.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Stafford - Stafford Weekly News","oneSentenceSummary","Stafford fire chief Larry DeCamillo officially retired Aug. 29 after about 35 years of service, and colleagues marked the occasion with a retirement party and the department’s traditional “Last Call” ceremony, the Stafford Weekly News reported.","taxTitle","Stafford, Fort Bend County, Texas","taxId",69474,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6476456,"Fort Bend Public Library restores online services and launches mobile app after outage",182,765000,947000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5729971-e85166802efcd537644c813b4a75f765&start=765&end=947","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5729971-e85166802efcd537644c813b4a75f765/thumbnail_765000.jpg","/articles/6476456/Stafford/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Fort-Bend-Public-Library-restores-online-services-and-launches-mobile-app-after-outage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476456-86e5b6a3ff7b2e786cc27596d8d1713f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770598277&Signature=YNWr78vbq3JAGbPmzB9zOYXdPXV0JV7UDTt-MTxKSZOJTLki1gbrN25BnYr5JB3XK2m0XjSLx-nGpyrNeVD93MU3jH31OTXkrN0AmGEo2iYjHE0fgxfhvrd1E963nfInI1APv-VTAbeIGPNdo0gWZK9~u6XA2P3bzRfwPWlsKBPDXvWdJI3IvILHTYTe8aTY3tNPzaqRoHVAvchM4k2U8iDZ2PQcSldpGWMU3xpIvNU3Ofhgwz-njwarZi3tL68gYjgwSQyB0mgMnST3GJ8ol9SgZDc7wfvOB494vumATLO7doBXwT55uSSLhkKYjMabtoeUQ-pAnp3ZITTvLnvZsA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Fort Bend Public Library has restored its online catalog and brought public computers back online after a disruption that affected a portion of the library system’s services, staff said at a relaunch event at the Mamie George branch.

Library staff at the event described system-wide celebrations and activities designed to thank patrons for their patience, including raffles, giveaways, scavenger hunts and community tables. “We had the computers down, and so we are getting all the computers up and running,” a library staff member said. Staff also said printing services were being restored and that the online catalog is available again.

Staff announced a new mobile app, Fort Bend County Libraries, which patrons can download from the App Store or Google Play to place holds, check accounts and access digital resources. The branch also highlighted a new children’s offering called Wonder Books—books that read themselves—and new library cards created from a local artists’ contest.

The reporter on the program described the earlier disruption as a “devastating cyber attack” that took out a portion of the library’s services. Library staff thanked the community for its patience during the outage and encouraged residents to attend system-wide events celebrating the relaunch. The transcript did not provide technical details about the outage’s cause, the timeline of restoration work, or any information about costs or investigations into the incident.","Library staff at the Mamie George branch said Fort Bend Public Library restored the online catalog and brought computers back online after a recent outage that affected online services; the system also introduced a mobile app and restarted in-branch activity and events.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6476460,"Fort Bend launches 'Fort Bend Helps' to connect residents with county services",405,268000,673000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5729971-e85166802efcd537644c813b4a75f765&start=268&end=673","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5729971-e85166802efcd537644c813b4a75f765/thumbnail_268000.jpg","/articles/6476460/Stafford/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Fort-Bend-launches-Fort-Bend-Helps-to-connect-residents-with-county-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476460-0e28586d1e4c0f69519fa4d1fc07c996/orig.mp4?Expires=1770598277&Signature=mxOcbhQnIo7TK2v3yqSxFmf9UPRCDzPfSXsygSib2CRxn-8egvz7T9lRIB-qadjkn4-rh1tovfuxSW6UEHuUfPF9YxY-~qQWQP-UFUyqzmNRiFQIQUCRxBIvAgZzhJF-JlJ2fw5tDVrB221deucM0~9Oju5w0RTc11df7F4fkehOKZnRparxRR~gPB7j~Hf0IHPCIU8tnqUdPeW9~9VXYg3SrQHw5ryN124A8kL9vQiRKT4iFeNdGq96dTYkxuicI2v~yXgfahPDRnEftcZjWcgLwBZw7JUWgq8y6FKCciz9guJ~4BoeDLCEAqT-ROrOqY6BwuQH7QAQn9HDuLbG~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Fort Bend County Chair KP George said the county has launched Fort Bend Helps, an initiative to connect residents and small businesses with county and community resources, including housing assistance, disaster recovery, childcare and health services.

George told Stafford Weekly News that the effort combines online tools and community outreach to make services easier to find and use. “Our goal is to build a county, a healthier, stronger, and more connected Fort Bend County,” he said, noting the program grew from his administration’s public-engagement efforts that began in January 2019.

George described Fort Bend Helps as both an information platform and an outreach program. He said the county will work with libraries, schools, churches and community groups that already have trusted relationships with residents to distribute information and reach people who may be economically disadvantaged or new to the county. “Collaboration and partnerships are the best way to serve the people,” George said.

County partnerships named in the interview include 2-1-1 Texas, United Way and Fort Bend County Health and Human Services. George said the county also coordinates with the Office of Emergency Management and local EMS, and is making content available in multiple languages to reflect the county’s diversity.

George said the program will be updated over time to add content driven by community need and that residents can contact county offices, follow Fort Bend County on social media or find material on YouTube. He said the county’s approach is intended to improve prevention, access and equity by helping people get assistance earlier so they can “thrive in school and stay healthier.”

The interview did not include a launch date beyond George’s description that the county “launched that initiative.” The transcript did not specify budget, staff assignments for Fort Bend Helps, or timelines for particular features.","Fort Bend County Chair KP George said the county has launched “Fort Bend Helps,” an outreach and information initiative aimed at connecting residents and small businesses to services including housing, disaster recovery, childcare and public health resources.","actionData","errors"]
