Citizens Communication
Citizens Communication is next. And nobody had signed in a few minutes ago. Anyone citizen who would like to address the court on any matter not on the agenda. Any resident? Not -- not on the agenda? We have no takers. Anybody here from aisd?
>> judge? I just wanted to say one thing-- he would like to -- I would like to -- this past week, last Thursday, in fact, there was two men honored here in -- in Austin, Travis County. One was a captain Davis, my uncle, with the Austin fire department. The other one was captain louie white who actually received a recognition from the city of Austin naming northeast metro park after these two fine role models, persons here in this community. And I would like to personally thank again the city of Austin, the community and everybody that was involved in this process and especially councilmember sheryl cole who initiated this. Indeed, on behalf of the Davis family, the late reverend s.l. Davis and his wife, assistant willie cora thompson Davis, who are deceased, captain willie ray Davis is a descendant of these two fine persons. Again, on behalf of the Davis family, we would like to say thanks very much to what the city of Austin done, the city manager, toby futrell, everybody involved in this process. It was really a great honor for two wonderful individuals, thank you.
>> thank you. Citizens communication?
>> yes, sir.
>> okay. Greg hamilton, Travis County sheriff. I just wanted to come to the Commissioners and thank you for your decision on the ice days. I think that you all prevented a lot of injuries. I'm not talking about cash crashes. I know that -- car crashes. I know that some of my friends that had to go to work told me about many injuries on sleeping on ice. I just want to thank you all for your decision to -- to recognize those ice days and not have people coming in.
>> thank you.
>> thanks to our emergency services staff, also. They worked pretty much around the clock with the other governmental entities, in those inclement weather days. Anybody else for citizens communication.
