City Council Minutes
Regular Meeting — October 25, 2022 2
Mr. Mayor and Port Arthur City Council:
I regret that I could not be with you in person at the council meeting
tonight. This is important decision from my perspective, and I wanted to
share my thoughts and recommendation for you to consider as you
prepare. Regarding the resolution to abandon sections of public road, 25th
Street and Terminal Road, to be acquired by Motiva, I am writing to you
all in support of this request before you. This is clear — it will make both
the public and Motiva a safer place while eliminating a significant repair
liability from the City. It may be inconvenient for some, but I would
recommend this as the greater good for the overall community.
History has shown that there are key moments in history for nations,
states, cities, and neighborhoods where leaders will make a few key
decisions that will ultimately determine the future for those they serve. I
believe those times are starting now. The decisions you are making will
set the path for forward viability or diminishment of this community. As
the leader of your Chamber of Commerce, I humbly encourage you to
think more progressive than ever on the decision before you and for the
key ones I am sure will follow in the fast few years ahead of us.
We leaders have a duty to look to the future and partner wit the
businesses that underpin our economy for long-term welfare of this
community. Our largest tax base is facing significant challenges that will
corn with the Energy Transition among other threats to the economy that
supports our community. There are EV charging stations popping up in
our region now, and it is corning. This will affect the City's power supply.
We look forward to our downtown being filled with businesses and people,
but are they going to drive 15 extra minutes? Let's look at ways to safely
shorten the length of time to get to our offices.
This decision you are considering today improves public safety while also
improving safety and security of the Motiva facility. It further will pass a
significant financial liability from the City over to Motiva as the roads
under consideration are in quite bad shape and in need of costly repairs. I
•
encourage you to think more progressive than ever, we must be more
collaborative than ever, and we will find ourselves needing to partner with
other businesses, agencies, cities, and departments to capture scale and
efficiency as we go forward in everything we do. Let's start now and not
be one of the communities that arrives late to the party.
With your support, we can provide for more than the preservation, but
rather, create the city that we have all dreamed of revitalizing and
growing.
Kind Regards,
Pay Avery
President/CEO
