• <br />• <br />• Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council <br />February 3, 1982, Page 4 <br />146 to Sylvan Beach which had not been sold yet, and I was <br />in error on that. Those bonds were sold in January. The <br />work on Fairmont Parkway is scheduled to be bid in early <br />summer, and they are hoping to be under construction for the <br />completion of Fairmont Parkway from 146 to Sylvan Beach by <br />August or September of this year. In light of those things <br />and the other comments that Commissioner Fonteno made to me <br />on the telephone, I would move that we pass this Resolution <br />No. 82-4 as read by the City Attorney and urge the other <br />members of the Council to vote for it. <br />The motion to pass and approve Resolution No. 82-4 was seconded <br />by Councilperson Simons. <br />Skelton: Mayor, I had some doubts in my mind before, but I <br />have been in two meetings this last week where County Judge <br />Jon Lindsey; T didn't get an opportunity to talk to County <br />Commissioner Fonteno.

We are paying the taxes and this is our way of get- <br />• ting a portion back for this community, and I would support <br />this issue and further second this motion. <br />The motion carried, 7 ayes and 0 nays. <br />Ayes: Councilpersons Longley, Faris, Latimer, Simons, Gay, <br />Skelton and Mayor Pro-tem Malone <br />Nays: None. <br />8. Administrative Reports: <br />City Secretary Waters reported on the Municipal Election <br />Law Seminar held January 28-29 in San Antonio, Texas, and <br />on plans to familiarize the voters with the new punch card <br />voting machine. <br />City Manager Owen stated he had no other reports to bring at <br />this time. <br />9. Council Action: <br />Councilperson Skelton: I'm happy to see all the citizens. We <br />have a fine crowd tonight and we are always pleased to see all <br />of you here. I have no further comment. <br />Councilperson Gay: Mr. Gay read a letter the City Council <br />• received from Lou Lawler, President of the La Porte-Bayshore <br />Chamber of Commerce thanking the City for its cooperation <br />during the Christmas events and the 1981 eventful year (letter <br />
