SIMON DIRECTOR AGENCY 4625 NORTH FREEWAY, SUITE 330 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77022 713/692-6385 December 8, 1977 The Honorable J. J. Meza City of LaPorte P. O. Box 1115 LaPorte, Texas 77571 Dear Mayor Meza: This Agency's Planning Department has set up a citizen participation mechanism in order to comply with the intent of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. This letter is to request that a citizen from your low in- come area, i.e., from the target area for Community Development pro- jects, be appointed to act as liaison between Community Development e and your City Council. The citizen will be responsible for calling citizen meetings in the target areas for input into the upcoming application. This person will meet at least twice a year with Com- munity Development staff. In addition this Task Force member will be asked to meet with other Task Force participants in a meeting once a month. It is necessary that we know the Task Force appointee's name as soon as possible. Our Planning Department has scheduled a meeting of the Citizen Participation Task Force for December 20, 1977 at 7:30 p.m. at the Community Development Agency's office, 4625 North Freeway, Suite 330. At this meeting we will be discussing possible projects for the FY78 Application and it is important that your representative bring a list of needs for each of the target areas in your City to present at this meeting. Please advise us of the appointee's name, address and tele- phone number. I twill be necessary for our Planning Department to contact the appointee immediately. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. e ~o~~ Dorothy Davison Chief Planner DD:jml --
