I • • • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 14, 1984, Page 5 park in the newly annexed area. The trip to Washington was very productive.' Felt very good when we left that we had accomplished a lot.. TML is as ac- tive up there in promoting our special needs that Texas has as they are effective in taking our stands against our Texas legislators. It was an~excellent trip. Happy to hear about our hospital. How do we stand on our ice cream vendor ordinance? We need to pull that one out and rush that one through. Graves: Driving in he had noticed some green stakes wuth red signs - some of them seem to too close to the roadway, especially one by the picture show. Sidewalk or street lights need to be started in the area of G Street from Broadway to San Jacinto. Funds are budgeted, and we need to get started on it. • Pfeiffer: Had inquired about a traffic light at Farrington and Fairmont Parkway. People are having trouble getting onto Fairmont, particularly at the peak :travel hours. The State was working today on 8th Street and Main. When are we going to take over maintenance~of that? G-~': Thanks for coming out. Grateful to Mrs. Lawler for coming to'solicit funds for the~Seameri's Center. Hopes there is some way this city can help in some capacity. The trip to Washington was very educational to him; some of the legislation they were working on, especially prayer in the school. I Skelton: ;Would like to .echo comments of Councilman Matuszak and Councilman Gay on the trip to Washington. It was certainly informative. I got hold of an old copy of a National Cities Weekly. I left you all a copy of Status of Major. Legislation in Congress Affecting Cities that I copied from it. I think the Council needs this magazine; it is loaded with things that :~ will help the cities. The National League~of Cities is doing a fine job,~but I think TML is doing a better job. And TML, through our help, reversed the NLC position on cable TV. • Has been getting calls on restoration of Sylvan Beach. Today's paper indicated Precinct 2 has recieved~ over $2 million for
