          [00:00:08]
          EVENING EVERYONE. TODAY IS FEBRUARY 16TH, 2026. WE'LL NOW CALL THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO ORDER AT 5:01 P.M. SPECIAL MEETING TO ORDER. ITEM NUMBER TWO IS ROLL CALL. WE DO HAVE A 
          [3. PUBLIC COMMENTS]
QUORUM OF COUNCIL. AT NUMBER THREE ARE PUBLIC COMMENTS. CITY SECRETARY, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? YES, MR. MAYOR, WE DO. DAVID ATWOOD WISHES TO SPEAK ON AGENDA ITEM FOUR. A MR. ATWOOD, PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND PLEASE ADHERE TO THE THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT. OKAY, SO MY NAME IS DAVID ATWOOD. I LIVE AT 10011 CALEB WAY. STEEP BANK VILLAGE EAST. SO IT'S THE LAST AREA THAT MISSOURI CITY ANNEXED. 
          I SAW THIS AS AN ACTION OR A READING HERE, AND I WISH TO MAKE A COMMENT SINCE YOU'RE RENEWING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BASICALLY WITH SIENNA JOHNSON DEVELOPMENT, THAT I'LL ASK ONE QUESTION WHO IS IN CHARGE OF GOVERNING? WHAT GOES ON IN SIENNA? I DON'T SEE ANYBODY TAKING OWNERSHIP OF WHO IT IS. WE ARE IN THE ZIP CODE FOR MISSOURI CITY. WE'RE IN THE ETJ OF MISSOURI CITY. YET FOR THE MAJORITY OF IT, MISSOURI CITY DOESN'T SEEM TO TAKE ANY CONTROL OF IT. FORT BEND COUNTY COULD CARE LESS. THE MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT IS THERE TO FOR SEWER AND WATER, SO THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING. AND THEN NOBODY DOES. AND IT'S A CATASTROPHE. WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH EASY FIBER WHEN IT WHEN IT GOT INTO THE PARTS WHERE MISSOURI CITY WHERE IT WAS IN MISSOURI CITY, THINGS GOT A LOT BETTER. ALTHOUGH I STILL THINK, YOU KNOW, THEY STILL HAVE MASSIVE PROBLEMS, BUT IT'S JUST BEEN A NIGHTMARE. AND THAT KIND OF POINTED OUT TO ME THAT NOBODY'S IN CHARGE AND EVERYBODY'S DOING THIS. SO BEFORE YOU RENEW SOME KIND OF AGREEMENT LIKE THIS FOR THESE KIND OF MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTS, YOU, THE CITY OUGHT TO CONSIDER WHO'S IN CHARGE AND WHO'S GOING TO RUN THINGS AND DO IT. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THAT CONCLUDES THE
