Good morning, Odessa.

Odessans lined the streets Tuesday as a full law enforcement procession escorted the body of Ector County Probation Officer Jayda Floyd from Austin to Odessa—honoring her as a victim of the July 4 floods.

Residents along the five-hour drive waved flags to support her family as officials led the tribute.

A fundraiser in memory of Odessa Police Officer Bailey Martin will be held on Tuesday, July 22 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Barn A in the Ector County Coliseum, where hamburger plates are sold for $20 each (up to 800 plates) and donations can be made with checks to the PPOA of Odessa.

Odessa leaders announced that residential dumpsters will be replaced by rollout carts while commercial businesses and apartment complexes will keep their dumpsters.
