U <br /> <br />• Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting <br />La Porte City Council <br />January 20, 1982, Page 13 <br />to do the City or anybody else any good. I think we should <br />try to investigate them a little deeper as far as need before <br />we push forward with them. <br />Councilperson Malone: Mr. Mayor, I was reading about a $400 <br />million dollar County Bond election. <br />Mayor Meza: Yes, sir. I have a letter from Judge Lindsay <br />which we will take up at the next workshop. They would like <br />the support of all the area cities. <br />Councilperson Malone: Pasadena expects to get about $15 million <br />of that. Is there something we can do to get our name in the <br />po t now? <br />Mayor Meza: We haven't gotten our 1975 share for Fairmont <br />Parkway yet. <br />Councilperson Malone: But they want our support for this bond <br />• issue and. we haven't gotten our 1975 share that was promised. <br />Councilperson Skelton: In 1975 we voted bonds to widen Fair- <br />mont Parkway from Precinct 1 through Precinct 2, and we still <br />don't have it. <br />Mayor Meza: We have Precinct 1 widened but never did get <br />Precinct 2. <br />Councilperson Skelton: We have such a problem turning on Broad- <br />way or trying to cross it. Sometimes one or maybe two cars <br />gets across on each light.

There is one obstacle that would have to be <br />removed in the middle of the road, but that shouldn't be hard. <br />This would get the traffic through there, especially with the <br />school and all the buses. <br />Mayor Meza: We will take this up at the work shop. <br />Councilperson Gay: I have one item. What it is, is considering <br />all the buildings being built on the north side. My constituents <br />are asking me if they have any say-so about what is going to be <br />put in those buildings. Like the various shops and so forth. <br />• Do they have anything to say, since they were there before the <br />shops came in. These people have been there 30 or 40 years. <br />You understand what I am trying to say. They want to know if <br />
