I check the Sports Authority’s website every day, just in case something pops up. It’s rare that something does, but look what’s new today:

I’m guessing numbers 4 and 5 are related to the pool and youth center Harris County Commissioner El Franco Lee wants the Sports Authority to build.
I didn’t see this agenda posted yesterday, and the meeting was this afternoon. That’s one way to keep public input to a minimum!
