Morgan's Point City Council
by Dedra Kratts

Morgan’s Point City Council voted unanimously to accept the annual audit for the fiscal year 2001-2002. 

“I’m proud of our fund balance of $1.4 million exceeds the years budget, we have projects that we can start doing and the money to do them,” Mayor Russell Applebe stated.

The city council unanimously passed an ordinance to hold a general election on May 3, 2003.  The city council positions now held by Paul McBeth, Valrie Buckner and Brian Smith will be on the ballot.

The city council voted to participate in Harris County's Interjurisdictional Comprehensive All Hazard Mitigation Plan. 

“FEMA requires all cities to adopt a mitigation plan, basically the plan will help ensure that we receive funds in case of a natural disaster,” explained City Administrator Lance Avant.

All other agenda items were approved. Buckner was absent.
