PETITIONS, REMONSTRANCES, COMMUNICATIONS, AND CITIZENS AND TAX <br />P AYERS WISHING TO ADDRESS COUNCIL ON ANY ITEM POSTED ON THE <br />AGENDA <br /> <br />Bill Scott of 1802 Lomax School Road, La Porte, Texas 77571, before I proceed over the <br />coming months, with publicly exposing the Board of Adjustments violation of oath and of <br />law; Mr. Porter, I would again ask you the 2646 question that the City has repeatedly <br />avoided. Who authorized the pile of lies that the City calls findings-of-fact and conclusions <br />oflaw? <br /> <br />Your City Manager attempted to restate my question long ago and claimed that I was asking <br />for names of members of the Board of Adjustments. The last City Manager tried the same <br />trick, repeatedly restating my question. I will no longer tolerate that. I suggest you and the <br />City Manager look up the definition of author; the Board of Adjustments was not the author, <br />any authorship of the Board would have to occur in a Public Meeting; there was no such <br />meeting. This is the fourth time I have publicly asked for that question and it never has been <br />answered. <br /> <br />In the last meeting with your Assistant City Manager, he claims, several times, that staff <br />made a recommendation at the Board of Adjustment hearing to limit the number of animals at <br />the feed lot. I rebutted his claim with the facts each time and he finally said he would <br />research the issue. I have asked this Council, formally, once, for the results of your Assistant <br />City Manager's research and not only has he not answered, he has not responded; so consider <br />this question repeated again tonight. I formally ask this Council what the written procedures <br />are for producing evidence of improper contact against a City staff person. My question was <br />ignored, it was not even answered. The last City Mayor said in a Council Meeting that I had <br />
