Residents turned down the plan
in a Sept. 13 election 35-23, but
members of the board of directors
felt that the turnout was too low
and that voters were not suffi-
ciently informed. Board president
Pauline Brister said she had
hoped the extra time and the fact
that the election coincided with
Houston mayoral and light rail
elections would mean a better
turnout.
“Basically, I felt like if we could
get it out to the community, the
problems, they would see what
needs to be done,” she said.
“There are a lot of smart people
out here, we just had to get them
out and get them educated.”
Brister said the board would
consult with its financial adviser
next to determine what exactly the
next step should be.
Butch Adams, a board member,
said the next step should be estab-
lishing a plan that will take all
contingencies in mind. For exam-
