I • ~ • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council June 20, 1984, Page 5 The Mayor replied that it usually takes three or four months. Graves: In regards to our recent auction - I hope we don't have any surprises coming up next week like tractors and brush hogs. Has gotten a couple of complaints on the Southern Pacific crossing at 225; it's getting bad again. Appreciates B. Don Skelton picking up the ball on the side- walk on "G" Street. He had requested something be done a long time ago, but had dropped the ball somewhere along the line. His street is "bleeding up" badly and it is ruining his carpet from being tracked into the house. Can something be done; can we look into hot mix overlay rather than the two- course? It has had to have something done to it every year. Pfeiffer: Would like to get the paper to publicize the "Solicitation Ordinance." In the last two weeks he has had 3 or 4 people come to his house selling something, who haven't • gone through the proper procedures. The intent of the ordi- nance is to give people peace of mind; he thinks the public should be reminded again that we do have an ordinance, and if they have someone come up they need to inform them of the ordinance, and also to let someone with the City know. Cline: Has received a letter from the 9-1-1 Emergency Net- work executive director. Their board .has elected to hold their monthly meetings in surrounding cities that are partici- pating in the 9-1-1 program. These meetings are held the first Thursday of the month at 10:00 A.M. Would Council like to host a meeting? It was agreed that La Porte would host a. meeting. The City Secretary will send the form back to the 9-1-l~board to inform them what date we would like to host. She has received a lot of phone calls about water bills. She read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Perry protesting the high rates. The letter mentioned that there was a rumor that there would be a meeting at the old MUD office between the City and Brookglen residents. Was Mr. Owen aware of such a meeting? Mr. Owen replied he was not aware of a meeting, although Bob Herrera has talked of sending a letter to the residents out • there to explain how their previous payments were set up and what they covered, and the City of La Porte structure.
