resolve problems that are common to the area; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The members of the council are committed to a number |
|

essential services and facilities, preserving historical and |
|
|
cultural values, and ensuring the effective and judicious use of |

|
member governments; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|

|
Valley Council of Governments and extend to all those associated |
