Clear Lake Area Council of Cities

Clear Lake Area Council of Cities Chair Natalie O'Neill, who also is mayor of Taylor Lake Village, has published an article on the Forum Page of The Online News Station, complimenting Clear Lake and Bay Area civil servants.  Message

"I have noticed an exciting trend this last decade," O'Neill said.  "The Clear Lake and Bay Area city governments have really opened up their lines of communication to work together towards common goals. We have always communicated with one another on some level but in the last few years the mayors and council members of Shoreacres, Seabrook, El Lago, Taylor Lake Village, Clear Lake Shores, Nassau Bay, Webster and Friendswood have shared ideas and philosophies and joined forces to address common needs and objectives."

O'Neil said that in the past, each city had its own vision and administration and each entity managed its own issues. 

"Now, because of tremendous growth in all our communities and continued growth predicted in the next decade the cities realize; what affects one city affects us all," O'Neill said.  "Our last Clear Lake Area Council of Cities meeting was a sharing of each city’s vision.  Each city developed visions for their future and we discovered that we all want the same things; a small town atmosphere and continued quality of life even if we grow into big cities. We want less crowded schools, decreased flooding, and improved traffic management and better air quality."
