JANU�RY 20, 1986
� MY NAME IS TOM SOBEY AND I AM A RESIDENT OF IMPERIAL ESTATES.
TW� YEARS AGO, IN MY BID F�R MAYOR OF FRIENDSWOOD, I WAS ONLY 82
V OTE5 5HORT OF BEING ELECTED. I FELT THAT WITH THE SMALL MARGIN
OF VICTORY AFFORDED THE CURRENT MAYOR WOULD HAVE AN AWAKENING
EFFECT ON THE MANNER AND MEANS OF WHICH HE HAS CHOSEN TO
ADMINISTER TO THE NEEDS OF THE CITY AND WOULD BRING FORTH THE
' NECESSARY CHANGES. . ,,
IT IS ABUNDENTLY CLEAR AS I STAND BEFORE COUNCIL TONIGHT THAT THE
MAYOR DID NOT HEED THE WARNINGS EXPRESSED BY THE VOTER5 OF
FRIENDSWOOD AND HAS NOT DEALT EFFECTIV ELY TO ADDRESS THE
SIGNIFTCANT NEEDS OF OUR CITY. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT I HAV E
BEEN ENCOURAGED BY MANY FELLOW CITIZENS OF FRIENDSWOOD TO ONCE
AGAIN ANN�UNCE MY CANDIDACY FOR THE OFFICE OF MAYOR.
' . WHEN ELECTED I WILL INITIATE A PROGRAM OF DIRECTED POLICIES THAT
WILL �NSURE THE CITY GCJVERNMENT IS RUN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
CITY CHARTER PUTTING POLICY DETERMINATION IN OVERSIGHT CONTROL IN
THE HANDS OF COUNCIL AND THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAILY
'r"I ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY GW ERNMENT ON THE CITY MANAGER AND I
� WILL ELIMINATE THE EXISTING MAYORAL ADMINISTRATIV E STYLE WHICH
� STYLE CAN BE5T BE DESCRIBED AS THE MEDDLING MAYOR FORM OF
� Ur GCyVERNMENT. NO LONGER WILL MEMBERS OF COUNCIL BE ENCOURAGED TO
m PERFORM THE WORK THAT SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY THE PAID EMPLOYEES
� OF THIS CITY. WHEN ELECTED TO T�E OFFICE OF MAYOR I WILL
INITIATE A COMPLETE MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL AUDIT OF THE CITY
GC7VERNMENT, THIS AUDIT WILL BE PERFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT
ORGANIZATION. IF THE PRESENT CITY BUDGET DOES NOT CONTAIN THE
FUNDS NECESSARY TO HIRE AN AUDITING FIRM, I WILL SEEK QUALIFIED
, V OLUNTEERS AND I UNDERLINE THE WORK QUALIFIED� QUALIFIED
, VOLUNTEERS FROM OUR COMMUNITY TO PERFORM THIS SERVICE. THERE ARE
TOO MANY FUNCTIONS WTTHING OUR GOVERNMENT THAT HAV E NOT BEEN
, SUBJECTED TO AN AUDIT FOR MANAGEMENT EFFECTIV ENESS OR MATERIAL
ACCOUNTABILITY, THE RESULTS OF THIS AUDIT WILL BE MADE PUBLIC.
- THE PAY AS YOU GO PROGRAM FOR STREET REPAIR IS AN EASY PROGRAM TO
SUPPORT BECAUSE IT IMPLIES THAT FURTHER CITY INDEBTEDNESS WILL
NOT BE REQUIRED, HOWEVER, IF THE STREET REPAIRS ACCOMPLISHED W ER
, THE PAST TWO YEAR5 ARE ANY INDICATION OF THE CIVERALL
' EFFECTIV ENESS OF THIS PROGRAM THEN CHANGES ARE NEEDED. ONE NEED
ONLY TALK TO THE RESIDE�TS OF CLEARVIEW OR 5HADOWBEND TO REALIZE
� THAT AT ITS PRESENT PACE THE PAY AS YOU GO PROGRAM WILL NOT
RESULT IN AN ACCEPTABLE CITY STREET CONDITION5 IN AN REASONABLE
TIME FRAME. �HIS INEFFECTIV E PROGRAM TO ME IS A CLEAR INDICATION
OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO A WORTHWHILE COMMUNITY PROGRAM THAT DOES
NOT RECEIV E THE NECESSARY ADMINISTRATIVE ATTENTION OF THE MAYOR.
� FRIENDSWOOD NEEDS A MAYOR WITH THE INITIATIV E AND CAPABILITY TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUES FACING THE CITY WITH THE "ONLY" CONCERN BEING
THE WELL BEING OF ITS RESIDENTS WE SHOULD NO LONGER BE CONCERNED
WITH WHETHER THE DIRECTION PR(7VIDED BY THE MAYOR SS MOZ'IV ATED BY
' SELF INTEREST THEREFORE THE NEXT MAYOR OF FRIENDSWOOD SHOULD BE
� AN INDSVIDUAL WHO CLEARLY HAS NO CONFLICTS THRU V ESTED INTERESTS
IN TH� CITY, ONLY THEN WILL OUR CITIZENS HAV E THE CONFIDENCE
THAT THE MAYOR WILL MAKE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL DECI5IONS BASED ON
THE REVELANT FACTS.
IN CLOSING, I WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT FORMER COUNCILMAN PAUL
SCHRADER HAS ACCEPTED THE POSITION OF TREASURER FOR MY CAMPAIGN
AND I WILL HAV E A FORMAL RELEASE FOR THE MEDIA ONE WEEK FROM
TODAY, I THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY
,� QUESTIDNS IF THERE ARE ANY. ,
