e 'e TO: Councilman Tommy Moser, District 4, La Porte City Mayor, Council, City Manager & Staff FROM: The La Porte Community Civic Club and La Porte Citizens MEMO: We the undersigned citizens are in favor of the facility proposed by Amyn Narsi being built on Barbour's Cut Blvd. at North First Street on the North Side of the City. We are not asking for you in no way to break any rules for the facility to be completed but to work with the owner to do what is necessary (for what we understand will be a Convenient Store, restaurant and fuel facility) to help in getting the facility completed. Reason being we feel it will be a help to the Community. The owner came to us, we believe, in good faith to say he would be a good neighbor in assisting and helping with neighborhood projects and activities. So far he has done just that. Among which we were so proud when school supplies and a back to school party was given. A child was so excited, his teacher was present and he kept running to her asking what he needed and she said the reason she was there because he came to school everyday, never having school supplies and she wanted to make sure he got supplies. And when our seniors was honored and given gifts they were so excited their eyes lit up. That's just two of the things we have been helped with. Mr. Narsi has been a member of the Civic Club and participating in most events and activities since 1999 . We are now planning to give:j food baskets to some seniors and needy at Thanksgiving ands to beautifying the Twilight Cemetery with entrance sign and other. Mr. Narsi will be a sponsor for the anti-drug seminar planned for the 30th. ' We are pleased with the improvements going on the North Side of the City and know that much more is needed. We are not against the present truck stop on the North Side with its truck parking facility, restaurant and hotel nor or we against the facility coming up we believe for truck inspections. We understand the Fuel For Lion King being built by Mr. Narsi will have no truck parking they will not be able to p~here for the night and will purchase gas and move on. We also believe that with the Port activities going on many more establishments will be built along Barbour's Cut Blvd. in the future. So far Mr. Narsi has been the only one coming to us to offer help in the Community. Now the people that's against the facility says it will be too noisy, too many fumes. There will be no less trucks traveling down Barbour's Cut than now. Maybe the other facilities can tell others how they stop the noise and fumes. Also it's said it will be more drugs and prostitution. If those people are interested in helping to combat illegal drugs and prostitution they can come to the middle of our neighborhood and help.
