• • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council February 17, 1982, Page 3 Faris: Have we in fact determined we will have an election? Askins: Are you talking about the availability of the voter lists? Faris: I'm talking about the situation with registered voters not having voters registration certificates. Askins: I talked yesterday with some other City Attorneys and County Attorney Mike Driscoll on that, and I guess the latest information I have is what I saw in the Bayshore Sun that Carl Smith had decided to go ahead and publish the list. Faris: So we are going to have an election on April 3? Askins: I talked to Driscoll on that and I guess the latest information I have on that is that if we have to, we will have each voter sign an affidavit and vote on affidavit. I think that is a moot point now, and I think we are going to have proper lists. So the election is on. i 5. Administrative Reports: City Manager Owen presented a request from the Public Works Department for approval to sell scrap metal to the highest bidder, the money to go into the General Fund.

Councilperson Skelton: One of the things I brought up several weeks ago was the railroad tracks out on 225. There have been • letters written, but we have had no response. They are getting worse. We need to get on the phone and call. I would like to request each member of Council to follow up on this this next week.
