I will place an appointment ordinance on the May 24th agenda. Second, since we have 3 yr. council <br />terms, the Texas Constitution requires council to call a special election to fill a vacancy within 120 days from the <br />date the vacancy occored, even if no standard election date occurs within that period. The next standard election <br />date is September 11. Therefore, I recommend that the Special Election to fill the Mayor's term of office, which .. . <br />expires-in May, 2006, be called for Saturday, August 21, which is within the 120 day period. I will prepare~an:~ .~: <br />ordinance calling the election for the May 10 council meeting. Councilpersons who might wish to run for Mayor <br />should be reminded that even the announcement of candidacy, or filing, constitutes an immediate resignation <br />from your city council seat. Finally, I hope Council will consider naming the new. Lomax fire station for.Norman, in <br />recognition of his many years of service to the cities of Lomax and La Porte...we are certainly going to miss <br />him ...Knox <br />5/1 /?_x(14 <br />
