<br /> <br />• Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council <br />October 7, 1981, Page 11 <br />Skelton: Mr. Mayor, I have a statement I would like to make, <br />too. Number one, most of us worked about three weeks on the <br />budget; some of us longer. We worked 2, 3, 4 days a week and <br />it was posted when that was. We really tried to be fair to <br />all the citizens of La Porte. We tried to be fair to the <br />policemen, the other workers. We tried to bring them up on <br />the same level and give them all something that was fair to <br />them and still be fair to the people that pay the bill. We <br />tried to do this and I don't think it was the intent of this <br />Council to be unfair to any of you. If you feel that way, I <br />hope you. don't take it against all of us, because I, for one, <br />am wanting the best for our city. I join with Councilman <br />Malone on getting this thing together and stop all this bic- <br />kering and stuff. I've been out of town and I've heard more <br />things one way or the other and it doesn't sound good to me. <br />T would appreciate a unity between everyone in the City and <br />working with the Council so we can do more for the City. <br />Thank you. <br />Meza: Any further discussion? <br />Faris: Mr. Mayor,----- <br />From the floor a lady (unidentified) asked a question: By <br />whose authority was the man demoted? Who did it? Who is <br />the person responsible for this? It wasn't the Council, was it? <br />Malone: Mr. Mayor, the reason for bringing this up is to get <br />this whole thing over with. I call again for the question. <br />From the floow, the unidentified woman: May I have an answer <br />to my question? <br />Malone: Ma'am, if you had been to Council meetings before, <br />you would know. We have a motion. on the floor and I would <br />like to get it passed. If .you keep talking we may not get it <br />passed.. Mr. Mayor, I call again for the question. <br />Meza: There is a motion. on the floor and a second. A11 in <br />favor: The vote was six (6) ayes and two (2) nays. <br />Ayes: Councilpersons Malone, Longley, Kibodeaux, Simons, <br />Gay, Skelton <br />Nays: Councilpersons Faris and Westergren <br />Faris: Mr. Mayor, T'd like to make a comment. The reason T <br />voted no is that I'm not sure that Mr. Askins is going to be <br />able to complete drafting an ordinance to replace that ordi- <br />nance between now and. next Wednesday. Tt's going to take an <br />
