• <br />• Regular Meeting 2/6/80 6 <br />8. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER AUTHORIZATION FOR ADVERTISING FOR BIDS FOR <br />NUTRITION CENTER FURNISHINGS - The Administrator stated that <br />lists had been distributed to the officials naming the requested <br />furnishings for the Nutrition Center. The Administrator stated <br />that he had asked that the television be placed on the list, but <br />after talking to Mr. Sherwood and staff members, felt that he had <br />erred in requesting that the television be on the list because <br />that is the purpose for the center, to get the Seniors away from <br />television. <br />Commissioner Simons stated that there had been an oversight. <br />Since the Senior would be away from the Clinic down stairs, <br />he felt that we needed a good first aid kit, portable oxygen <br />kit and a dish washer. <br />There was a brief discussion regarding whether or not these <br />items could be purchased with the $475.00 proposed for the television. <br />The Administrator stated that all of these prices were estimates. <br />We would not know until the actual bids came in. After the bids <br />are accepted, but before the bids are awarded, an appropriation <br />can be made at that time based on the actual cost. <br />• Motion by Commissioner Tomerlin, seconded by Commissioner Simons <br />to authorize advertising for bids for Nutrition Center Furnishings <br />excluding the television and in its place, a first aid kit, a <br />portable oxygen kit and a dish washer. A copy of all the furnishing <br />needs is attached and made a part of these minutes. Motion carried <br />by the following vote: <br />AYES: Commissioners Tomerlin, Kibodeaux, Cline, and Simons. <br />NAYS: None. <br />+ + + <br />9. DISCUSS PROPOSED P.P.G. EXPANSION - MRS. CELESTE PETERSON - <br />Mrs. Celeste Peterson was recognized and addressed the <br />Commission regarding her concern of the operations of <br />P.P.G. Industries and the fact that the deadly gas, phosgene, <br />is being produced in close proximity to heavily traveled streets, <br />densely populated residential subdivisions and to the business <br />section of La Porte. <br />Mrs. Peterson expressed her appreciation to the importance of <br />industry to our community and the fact that we encourage and <br />solicit industrial expansion. <br />• <br />
