At its July 15 meeting, Tomball City Council approved the extension of the city’s declaration of disaster.
In a nutshell
The declaration, which was first signed by Mayor Lori Klein Quinn on July 7, will allow the city to continue its recovery and possible funding reimbursement after Hurricane Beryl.
Hurricane Beryl impacted Houston as a Category 1 storm, and Tomball received nearly 7 inches of rain between July 7-11, as previously reported by Community Impact.
Also of note
Tomball has a contract with Harris County Precinct 3 for debris pickup, according to the city’s website.
Residents may also drop off trees and other debris at the landfill at 1200 Rudolph Road, Tomball, during the following days and times:
- July 17-19 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
- July 20 from 8 a.m.-3 p.m.
- July 21 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
“This will allow us to begin any other operations that have not already begun,” Tomball Fire Chief Joe Sykora said at the July 15 meeting. “This is just to make sure that we are eligible for anything from FEMA. We are continuing the cleanup efforts as well as public works continuing everything that they're doing.”
