I <br />• • <br />Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council <br />• August 1, 1984, Page 11 <br />John (speaking to Mr. Longley, who was in the audience), I <br />was absent last week and unfortunately didn't get to tell <br />you goodbye. I really appreciate and learned a lot from <br />John. He's an excellent businessman and really did a lot <br />for this Council. It's hard to replace a man like him, <br />but the City must go on. Likewise with Kevin. It is a great <br />pressure on family. I look forward to working with the new <br />Councilmembers. <br />Skelton: I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all the <br />citizens for coming out, for giving your views. You've~cer- <br />tainly made Council aware of your problems, and we 'certainly <br />will look into this and do everything we can to make it <br />equitable for all the citizens. I, for one, would like~to <br />see the water bills at zero; but we know that can't happen. <br />We'll be going through budget hearings soon; we'~11 be trying <br />to determine where we're going to spend our money. We'd like <br />for you to participate in these budget hearings if you feel <br />like coming out. We'd like for you to. participate in govern- <br />ment, period. There's all kinds of ways to work in local <br />government. You'll have to give of yourself; it'll cost your <br />family some time, but it's well worth it once you get started. <br />• The work is hard and there's a lot to do, but you can repre= <br />sent everybody if you do that. I just thank you a lot again <br />for coming out and making your voice known. This is the~way <br />a democratic society works, and it's working here in La Porte. <br />6 ~: I can't hardly say anything that hasn't been said con- <br />cerning the two gentlemen here tonight, Mr. Graves and Mr. <br />Longley. And also I couldn't say anything to reiterate~any- <br />thing about the water rates and so forth. This does show <br />that you citizens are concerned. And as I said before,~,to <br />really get you out you have to touch your pocketbook, purse, <br />or whatever. And this has happened. So I would like to thank <br />all of you for coming out to let us know and voice your opinion <br />on it. Thank you very much. <br />19. There was no executive session. <br />20. There being no further business to come before the~Council, <br />the meeting was duly adjourned at 8:58 P.M. <br />Respectfully submitted: <br />Cherie Black, City Secretary <br />Pas ed & Approved this the <br />• 15 day of August, 1984 <br />.~~ <br />V' ginia Cline, Mayor <br /> <br />
