In <br />response to that concern, I have taken the initiative to forward a copy of a resoluton I plan to submit to my Council <br />for approval to ask TML to include as part of the League's upcoming legislative agenda. If your city is interested <br />feel free to use, modify as may fit your needs. <br /> <br />The more cities that act before the annual conference at the end of October the better. <br /> <br />I know the Gov. has called for a task force. That is good. <br /> <br />However, my real concern is that special interest stakeholder priorities may not want dollars spent to fix the <br />problems found as doing so may divert public funds from preferred projects. While the chance of a reoccurence <br />may be low, it is inevitable and we will be facing an even larger population to evacuate. Now is the time to take <br />appropriate action to correct the obvious opportunities. For me at least, in addition to other items, that is improved <br />and new contra flow lanes/systems before entering the Houston area not after exiting the area. I would be <br />interested in hearing from experts about this and other issues. <br /> <br />I am just sending the draft resolution. If you want the back up material required by TML, related newsarticles and <br />a very interesting TXDOT News Release (3 PM 9/23) let me know and I will provide same to you. <br /> <br />I would welcome the opportunity to meet with interested City Managers to discuss a path forward for those <br />inclined. Paul Davis (former interim CA in League City) has volunteered to assist in this effort and may be in <br />contact with some of you about this. <br /> <br />Please feel free to call if you have any questions. <br /> <br />(281) 291-5688 <br /> <br />V~~L <br /> <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Bo McDaniel <br />City Manager <br />Seabrook <br /> <br />9/30/2005 <br />
