Mayor Pro Tem highlighted Daley's contributions, stating, "We certainly will miss your expertise on the committees." Other council members echoed these sentiments, recalling how Daley coached teams and played a crucial role in reviving Pony League baseball in the late 1980s.
In addition to the memorial, the council celebrated the League City Library's recent award, acknowledging the hard work and dedication of its staff. Council member Tom Groot emphasized the importance of community resources like the library in enhancing the quality of life for residents.
