SCHEDULE UPDATE | City Leadership Listening Tour

We’re moving our first City Leadership Listening Tour stop from October 6 to Tuesday, October 13.

Why the change? October 6 is National Night Out, an important evening for our Baytown community. We want residents to have the opportunity to spend time with their neighbors, meet our public safety officials, and enjoy National Night Out activities, including the City event at Town Square.

Then, the following week, we hope you’ll join us for another opportunity to connect with your community.

See yourself there!

Your voice matters, and being there makes sure it’s heard. Join your neighbors, District 6 Councilmember Mike Lester, and City Manager Jason Reynolds for an open conversation about the issues that matter most to you.

We’re here to listen. Share your thoughts, concerns, and ideas, and be part of shaping the future of Baytown.

Tuesday, October 13 at 6:30 PM
Roseland Park Clubhouse
100 Roseland Drive

10 minutes. Once a Week.
Mosquito prevention doesn’t require special equipment. Just 10 minutes each week can help reduce mosquito breeding around your home.

Check these items once a week: buckets, flowerpots, toys, gutters, tires, tarps, pet bowls, refresh birdbaths.

It’s a small effort with a big impact.
