HomeMy WebLinkAbout(01) CORRESPONDENCE - LAWRENCE BAKER OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME
Mayor, Council, and City Manager, thank you for allowing me the opportunity
to address you today. First of all, I would like to applaud you on the work you
are doing and the direction you are taking the City. I hope and pray for your
continued success.
You now have an opportunity of lifetime in front of you at this time. It is very
critical in this juncture that you carefully evaluate your next series of moves
and or actions you take to build on this momentum.
You must maximize all of your energies and talents to ensure a positive
outcome for our City. You have the first piece of the puzzle in place. By that I
mean the announcement of the Motiva relocation plan.
It is incumbent on you, as our governing body to come together as one unit in
order to ensure this new momentum continues unabated. This can only be
accomplished as a team. Not as individuals, not as a click, but as one unit
working together for the betterment of this City. You have an opportunity to
turn this City around like no other governing body has ever done.
If you are successful you will leave an everlasting legacy that will be
remembered by all of our future Port Arthuran's. People and other potential
investors are now watching to see how well you handle this initial success.
Will it galvanize you and create a strong solid governing body or will it sow
seeds of dissensions and divide you?
Only you have that answer. And now in the coming months we will be
watching and hoping for the best outcome. Remember working together as a
team you can get more done. Presenting a united front is the key to your
success.
I thank you for your time and your attention. Good Luck!!
