Felicia Ramos was selected as the mayor pro tem in a unanimous vote at the May 12, 2025, meeting of the Shoreacres City Council.

Felicia is entering her ninth year serving on the council. Her educational and work background is in construction and project management. She was a tremendous help in our recent water and sewer infrastructure upgrades.

As you can see in the photo above, Felicia has hit the ground running and attended our staff meeting this morning. I met with her yesterday and gave her a rundown of our current personnel status, finances, and challenges. I look forward to working more closely with her as Mayor Pro Tem.

Please join me in welcoming her to her new role. She may be reached by email at framos@shoreacrestx.us.

The 2025 General Election is almost over. All of the votes have been cast, but eleven (11) provisional ballots remain to be counted. These ballots will be taken to the Harris County Election Center, and their validity will be determined.

Provisional ballots are cast when a voter’s name does not appear on the poll books that the county provides to us. Typical reasons are a failure to update addresses or married names. So we will not know the final vote totals until these votes are counted. The current City Council will canvas the ballots and certify the election on Monday, May 12, 2025. For now, these are the totals:

A huge thank you to all who helped with the election. City Secretary Elaine Goodman did a fantastic job overseeing a months-long process. Election Judge Wes Bell and Election Clerks Kay and Kendall Pickett worked the polls every day they were open. Administrative staff Bernie Anderson and Diane Stokes underwent training on our new equipment and worked a very long Election Day.

Thank you to each of the candidates who participated in this process. It isn’t easy to put your name on the ballot and have people give you a thumbs-up or down—I happen to know this from experience!

I’m looking forward to working with the new council, and we will hit the ground running as we prepare the next budget.
