A. Speakers
(1) Joseph Guillory Regarding Local Jobs
Not present.
(2) Silvia Rangel Regarding School Zones Speed Limit
Silvia Rangel was not able to attend the meeting. The City Secretary read the
following correspondence into the record:
October 21, 2019
To Whom It May Concern:
I was scheduled to speak today but I am not able to attend because I
began a new job. I am leaving the letter so it may be read by the City
Secretary.
I would like to address the issue of the school zones; there are many
persons driving too fast and not respecting the speed limit.
The kids are walking down the street in the mornings or in the afternoon
and I've witnessed the danger they may be in; and there is no crossing
guard to assist the kids to cross the street, nor Police.
I understand that the refineries hire Police to assist with traffic for their
employees. But also, schools are important for parents; we are paying our
taxes every year (which are higher every time) and we do not see that
attention is put in this matter.
Thank you and my apologies that I was not able to be present today.
