RESOLUTION 95- 10
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE SUPPORTING A REVISION TO THE TEXAS
UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION ACT.
WHEREAS, the City of La Porte believes the current Texas Unemployment
Compensation Act penalizes reimbursing employers such as political
subdivisions because it does not allow such employers to object to
unemployment compensation claims made by former employees under certain
circumstances, while allowing non-reimbursing employers to object to
unemployment compensation claims under the same circumstances; and
WHEREAS, this discrepancy results in unnecessary payments to claimants out of
government funds in a time of scarce public resources;
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE, THAT:
Section 1. THAT, the CITY OF LA PORTE supports the amendment of the Texas
Unemployment Compensation Act and requests the Texas Municipal League to join
in this effort.
Section 2. That the City Council officially finds, determines, recites and
declares that a sufficient written notice of the date, hour, place and subject
of this meeting of the City Council was posted at a place convenient to the
public at the offices of City of La Porte for the time required by law
preceding this meeting, as required by the Open Meetings Law, Chapter 551,
Texas Government Code; and that this meeting has been open to the public as
required by law at all times during which this resolution and the subject
matter thereof has been discussed, considered and formally acted upon. The
City Council further ratifies, approves and confirms such written notice and
the contents and posting thereof.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 23rd day of October, 1995.
