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!!
