I • • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council • June 6, 1984, Page 4 and San Angelo, will be visiting soon. The reason they are interested in coming here is the way our personnel has accepted and worked with the data processing. All the credit for that goes to Bob Herrera and his staff of people who are working with that. The City Attorney has requested an executive session on a contractual matter. Mayor Cline added that a gentleman from Greenville had come up at the TML meeting in Corpus and was very complimentary to our staff and our data processing program. Councilperson Longley arrived at the Council table at 7:30 P.M. 9. Council Action Gam: Enjoyed the TML conference in Corpus. He got a lot out of it. Someone had spoken with him at the conference and told him they were coming to our city. Feels credit is due to Mr. Herrera. • Enjoyed seeing those that are out at the meeting tonight, in view of the bad weather we're having today. Skelton: Would like to go back to the same questions he asked the first of May - has anything been done on the sidewalk on G Street between Broadway and San Jacinto? (Mr. Owen replied a letter has been wr;iltten to Carlos Smith for a proposal for the alignment of the sidewalk there, with the idea of entering into a contract in the very near future for the design of that.) Second, the blue containers on Park Street have been moved a~ little closer to the roadway - it's about 12 to 14 inches now, so we are getting to the stripe. I do think the City has a liability there that's just staring us in the face. We need to get something done about that. Owen: We are working on that particular problem. The location sometimes gets to be a problem because they do have to be accessible to the trucks; unless we can get an off-street lo- cation, that sometimes gets to be quite a problem. Westergren: Her container problem has been solved. Now you can see at the corner of 8th and B without taking your life in your hands. • Longley: Pleased to see the quality of the programs at TML have improved.- it was very beneficial and he~is pleased with that.
