~ ~ <br />• October 9, 1979 <br />Honorable Mayor and City Commission <br />604 ~y . Fairmont Parlcway <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Re: Charter Revision Committee <br />Meeting, October 8, 1979 <br />Gentlemen and Mrs. Cline: <br />In response to the request of the City Commission <br />at its October 3, 1979, meeting, our committee held a <br />meeting at City Hall, October 8, 1979, at 7:00 p.m. <br />Seven members of the thirteen-member committee ~,~ere <br />in attendance. The committee voted six to one to reject <br />the six single member district plan and stay with the <br />four single member and two at large plan. <br />The reason for the committee's preference of the <br />four-two plan is that each citizen gets to vote for a <br />total of four persons in lieu of being able to vote for <br />• only two persons in the rejected plan. <br />T~~e would, also, like to advise that one member of our <br />committee, Gracie Gonzales, was advised by the League of <br />United Latin American Citizens that they felt the proposed <br />four-two plan was acceptable. <br />As chairman of this committee, I would like to thank <br />the committee fox their many hours of work and personal <br />sacrifice to attend these meetings over the past two years. <br />~Je would urge the commission to ma'~.e a determination <br />at the October 17, 1979, meeting to move forward with the <br />planned timetable schedule. <br />Very truly yours, <br />e e , airman <br />Charter vi n Committee <br />• <br />
