<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />May 7, 1990 <br /> <br />City of LaPorte <br />Mayor Norman Malone <br />Members of City Council <br />Bob Herrera, City Manager <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />Last year I was an active participant in the Visions 89 study, led by Mr. Ferdon <br />Lawrence. The purpose of that undertaking was to find ways in which to improve <br />our quality of life. I have recently been reviewing in my mind the total concept <br />presented by Visions 89, and it seems more relevant as time passes. Those of <br />us who worked on this study have had no feedback at all from Council, but I am <br />fairly certain our work has not been simply discarded. With budget hearings com- <br />mencing soon, now would be a perfect time to consider some small beginning. <br /> <br />My subcommittee's efforts were directed toward the study of Tourism, pusiness <br />Development, and Marketing. The improvement of our community in order to <br />attract tourists is a no-risk investment. If outsiders are drawn to this area to <br />enjoy our assets, then the quality of life is surely being improved for our resi- <br />dents. <br /> <br />The attached report is a short review of some of the concepts presented in the <br />Visions 89 Goals Report. I hope you will read it and be reminded that a great <br />many of the improvements can be accomplished by volunteers. Many citizens <br />of the LaPorte-Bayshore Area are eager to perform services which benefit the <br />community, and would welcome the opportunity to assist in some of these pro- <br />jects. What is needed most from our city government is guidance and commit- <br />ment, Without that, nothing can happen. <br /> <br />]peCtfUllY SU?ted. <br /> <br />pa~~ <br /> <br />117 Garfield <br />LaPorte, Tx 77571 <br /> <br />471-3961 <br />
