My sincere wishes to everyone for a happy and healthy holiday season and a wonderful start to 2023!
Some quick updates:
The Dog Pound dilemma is scheduled to go to Council soon, probably in January.
The Board of Adjustment chose unanimously to approve additional signs at Bellaire High School, overruling our current zoning. They would have done the same regarding the scoreboard on the new baseball fields, but two BOA members voted no. Kind of makes one wonder how effective our zoning ordinances are, doesn’t it?
Mayor Friedberg has posted information on Bellaire’s regional drainage program, Actionable Next Steps in Regional Drainage Improvement Program.

The new bridges over Brays Bayou are almost complete, and hopefully will help to prevent future severe flooding in our area. Find information from the Harris County Flood Control District here.
Construction on the new Bellaire High school is complete. The original building was demolished during the week of July 13-17, 2021. 
FEMA imposes requirements for new structures and limits on existing structures in flood zones. Check with Development Services for more information,
