Regular Meeting - 7/1/74 - Continued • • (D) Mayor Thomas read a letter from Gene Smith, Mayor of Nassau Bay, informing the Commission of a meeting to be held in the Nassau Bay City Offices, 18100 Upper Bay Road, Tuesday, July 9, at 7:15 PM, regarding the need of an organized campaign for development of legislative controls on underground water withdrawal which should be initiated immediately, and invited the Commission to attend. (E) Mayor Thomas advised the Commission that there needed to be a determined area for the City ambulances to serve. The City has been serving all of East Harris County. Last Friday all the Policemen were on ambulance calls. Saturday, the new modular ambulance had picked up a person at Sylvan Beach to take to Houston Jeff Davis Hospital. The modular caught fire near the Dome. The Houston Fire Department and Houston ambulance both had to be called. The main concern should be for our own people. The Commission should give this considera- tion. • + + + 13.
