merchants and many visitors have played a valuable role in the
overwhelming sense of community partnership. The City of Port Arthur

Hence the City of Port Arthur deeply respects the Coast Guard's leadership
in fostering a frame work for communications and coordination among
port stakeholders and law enforcement officials in in the development and
sustainability of Sabine Neches Maritime Security Plan.
Therefore based on the afore mentioned information the City Council of
Port Arthur whole-heartedly supports the City of Port Arthur's application
for Coast Guard City.
