From the Houston Chronicle, Feb. 3, 2008:

Central-northwest Houston's need for new or remodeled facilities and working streets, sidewalks and other infrastructure didn't end when former District H City Council member Adrian Garcia became the new sheriff Nov. 4, 2008.

Position 3 At-Large City Council member Melissa Noriega donned the district hat Jan. 29, assisted by the district's remaining staff, in hosting the city's annual meeting to hear residents' ideas about what capital improvement projects need to be added to the city’s five-year CIP Plan.

The council seat vacated by Garcia will be filled by voters in the May 9 election.

District H staff members remain on the job on the first floor of the City Hall Annex, 900 Bagby, answering calls to 832-393-3003.
