City Attorney Askins read: A RESOLUTION OPPOSING ESTABLISHMENT <br />OF THE HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL OPERATION (WASTE MANAGEMENT <br />INDUSTRIAL PARK) WHICH GULF COAST WASTE DISPOSAL AUTHORITY <br />PROPOSES AT THE INTERSECTION OF RED BLUFF AND BAY AREA BOULEVARD <br />Faris: Mr. Mayor, may I make a couple of comments prior to the <br />adoption of this Resolution? I feel that the City of La Porte <br />has been as prosperous as it has in the past due to a continued <br />increase of people coming into the community and due to an in- <br />crease of business activity in the community. When that busi- <br />ness activity is compatible with the living standards, people <br />in the community think it is activity that should be welcomed. <br />When that business activity is not compatible with the living <br />standards of the community, and I cite as a particular issue <br />the burning of PCB's in Deer Park. Those types of business <br />should not be welcomed into the community. I feel like this <br />is the situation where I don't want it here. I don't think <br />any of those types of businesses are wanted here. I would like <br />to have the honor to propose a motion to accept the resolution <br />as read, Resolution No. 81-28. <br />• <br />
