Huron Named Mayor Pro Tem in Baytown Council
Councilman Huron elected mayor pro tem by a 4-3 vote at the 2. regular meeting defeating former Mayor Pir Tent Seaborn Cravey. Mayor Liggett exited after the vote, with Huron presiding briefly as his mother visits from Florida. The council also allocated Roseland Park concessions to Teon Higginbotham and extended a water line to Eva Maud subdivision. They refused a street-bond request, planned a Bowie Drive culvert funded by the developer, and broadened tax concession talks to include light industry. A beer license at 1301 Lee Drive was rejected after opposition petitions. The Cerebral Palsy Center lease extended to 30 years to aid federal funding for a new clinic.
