July 2025 Meeting Minutes
Minutes of OMCC 7.22.2025
At approximately 645pm our meeting began with our guest Garret Berg
with the Port Houston Group. Mr. Berg explained to all the need to shape
our community together, the need of our residents’ ideas for Park and
community improvement. First, they began by inquiring what it is that
brought you to Oak Meadows and what you liked the most about our
neighborhood.
People responded through the questions and came up with several ideas
for future improvement on the maps provided. We proceeded through this
process until everyone’s suggestions were heard.
Here is a list of improvements that everyone agreed on:
1. Cover for basketball court;
2. Sail shades over playground;
3. 2nd covered gazebo on opposite end of park;
4. More Trees at Park
5. Something about a trail thru the wooded area by OFA to go
towards Glenbrook Park across Old Galveston
Near the end of meeting, Garret Berg with the assistance of one of our
young attendees, began the raffling of gift cards from Wal-Mart and HEB.
Everyone was so excited that won the giveaways.
Prior to start of meeting, the officers of the Civic Club had agreed to delay
the reading of minutes from past meeting, along with details of the
Treasurer’s report. Meeting adjourned near 8pm.
These notes taken and prepared by R. Snow.

Mosquito Control in our area!! What you need to know about the truck spraying.

Spraying insecticides from a truck is one way to safely kill mosquitoes in an area.
Truck spraying is used to:
Control and reduce the number of mosquitoes that can spread viruses.
Reduce your chances of getting infected with viruses.
Mosquito control trucks spray very small amounts of insecticide into the air to kill mosquitoes. This spray is a fine mist that acts as a fogger in the area. Is the spray harmful to people, pets, animals, or the environment? No, when done correctly, truck spraying will not harm people, pets, animals, or the environment. Spraying is safe! You do not need to leave an area when truck spraying for mosquito control takes place. If you prefer to stay inside and close windows and doors you can, but it is not necessary. The spray does not harm pets, but you may choose to bring them inside when spraying occurs.
