The Galveston City Council convened on April 24, 2025, for a workshop aimed at discussing various community initiatives and resolutions. The meeting began with informal exchanges among council members, highlighting their ongoing communication and collaboration.

One of the primary topics addressed was the potential collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution regarding the Juneteenth Museum. Council members expressed enthusiasm for the project, with discussions centered on securing funding and support. A consensus was reached to have Council Member Sharon contact Representative Reber to discuss the resolution and gather insights on the necessary information to include. This step is crucial for moving forward with the museum's development.

Additionally, the council agreed to work with the legal department to draft a resolution that would support the Juneteenth Museum and outline funding strategies. This resolution is expected to be presented at the next council meeting in May.

The meeting concluded with a positive outlook on the initiatives discussed, emphasizing the council's commitment to advancing community projects and preserving cultural heritage. Further steps will be taken to ensure that the proposed resolutions are prepared for the upcoming agenda.
