The meeting was called to order by Mayor Cravey for the purpose of discussing
the application of Houston Lighting s Power Company for permission to dredge a cooling
water intake and a discharge canal. Any protests against the proposed operations
should be received by the District Engineer not later than Monday, May 6, 1968. The
Corps is primarily interested with the effect of the proposed construction upon navi-
gation, however, it will consider other factors such as conservation of sish and wild-
life and possible water pollution.
The City Manager had talked with Mr. Neely and he had been informed that no
protest had been officially filed, however, he had received calls from many who raised
objection to the construction. The Council was of the opinion that they have not been
provided with enough concrete evidence to say that this proposed construction and opera-
tion will not pollute the stream and bay. After some discussion, Councilman Walker
moved for the City Council to file an official protest with the Department of the Army,
Corps of Engineers. Councilman Kloesel seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Kloesel, Walker, Hullum, Braswell and Fanestiel
Mayor Cravey
Nays: None

journed.
