RECOGNIZE DAVID HOYT FOR HIS YEARS OF SERVICE AT TBCD General Manager Shadden - I came to Trinity Bay in 2011 and about 6 months after I came here, I needed David to help me get this place up and going like it needed to. David had been at the City of Beaumont 30 % years so for someone to leave a job after being there that long to come with me, I was flattered. We have been together a long time, and we do not always ee eye to eye, but we have always found a way to make it work. He has helped make my career. We made the meeting at 10 and Mark Mitchell has cooked some gumbo and we cake and an award to present David with for his years of service in the back shop. Your grandfather was at the City of Beaumont, your father, David and now his daughter, so they have a long list. NO ACTION NEEDED. Tt. DRAINAGE REPORT: Amos Roy reported on Drainage. RUSH DITCH: This is the upper area of Rush ditch. We are utilizing three pieces of equipment to not only clean the vegetation but to also reset the shelf for future maintenance needs. The crew is nearing the Chambers County line which is our boundary on this watershed. We have added several drainpipes along the right-of-way to ensure good travel on the easement for future maintenance. RUSH DITCH SPINDLETOP: The dragline is back running. The new operator is doing well with the machine. I currently have a dozer out there with him to help move spoil material. DOUBLE BAYOU TRIBUTARY: The cutter head for the machine had a bearing go out.
