City of La Porte OKs
budget of $20.5 million
By LINNEA SCHLOBOHM to area residents.
LA PORTE - La Porte City
Council Wednesday approved a
comprehensive budget for fiscal
year 1984-85 totaling more than
$20.5 million, an increase of ap-
proximately $4 million over last
year’s budget.

Council also heard a state-
ment related to water rates from
Jimmie Ray Spradling of 3302
Valley Brook.
Spradling, who spoke as a.
member/of the Fairmont Park
Homeowners Association, pro-
tested council’s consideration of
the sale of city water to
Bayshore Municipal Utility
District to serve the proposed
Brook Forest subdivision.
Spradling said the-
homeowners association pays
sewer charges on water used to
operate the association’s swim-
ming pool, but the city was pro-
posing to sell water to BMUD
without a sewage charge.
“We should give the people in
the city relief, if we’re going to
give people outside of the city a
break,” he said.
Following an executive ses-
sion, council voted to table con-
sideration of the sale of water to
BMUD and City Attorney Knox
Askins said it appears that The
Lakeland Group, developers of
Brook Forest, and BMUD are
going to be able to work out a
plan whereby the city of La
Porte will not have to be involv-
ed in providing water to the

LEE COLLEGE -
Stasney’s comments are not
representative of the board’s
total membership.
Instructors also questioned the
board’s disregard for Roberts
Rules of Order when conducting
meetings. Adams admitted the
oversight and said he would try
to correct the situation.
Also, many instructors cited
poor communication between
Cloud and faculty as a major
source of conflict at the campus.
They noted that Cloud has been
asked several times to appear
before the executive committee
to discuss problems.
Adams said the committee
should continue to ask Cloud to
take a more active interest in
faculty affairs.
Other questions were raised
during the two-hour session —
and in closing the meeting,
members of the executive com-
mittee passed a resolution pro-
posed by Dignam, thanking
Adams for his “obvious
awareness and understanding of
the need for adequate com-
munication among the various
elements of Lee College.”
Adams said he would work to
ensure that such meetings
become more frequent and more
productive.
