• • Houston~Cralveston Area Council PO Box 22777 • 3555 Timmons • Houston, Texas 77227-2777 • 713/627-3200 January 7, 1994 Ms. Sue Lennes City Secretary City of La Porte P.O. Box 1115 La Porte, TX 77527-1115 Dear Ms. Lennes: I spoke with Councilman Guy Sutherland yesterday about making a brief presentation to the City Council on the Galveston Bay Plan. He said that he had scheduled me for the Council meeting of January 24, 1994, and suggested I write to yo so you would have some information on the agenda item. By way of background, the Galveston Bay Plan is intended as a comprehensive strategy for the preservation and enhancement of the bay over the next 20 years. Now in draft form, the plan is the result of five years of work by the Management Conference of public agencies, scientists, and bay users. Many recommendations of the plan will affect local governments surrounding Galveston Bay. The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC), under a contract with the Galveston Bay National Estuary Program, is making a series of presentations to familiarize local officials with the draft plan and to get their response. The presentation should last no more than 15-minutes, and I can deliver it in slightly less time, depending on the length of your agenda. I have enclosed a brief outline of what the presentation will cover. Staff from the Estuary Program will also be present to answer questions. I will have some slides or overheads to accompany my presentation, depending on what will work best in your council chambers. I will also send you a summary of the plan which can be distributed for the councilmember's review before the meeting. I would appreciate it if you or your staff could confirm my being placed on the agenda, either by letter or phone. Please give me a call at (713) 993-4560 if you have any questions. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Jeff aebel~er Community and Environmental Planning Department JT/ed Enclosures
