council.
Dreyer was first elected to the
Port Aransas city council six
years ago. He served four years
as mayor pro tern before being
elected mayor two years ago.
In announcing his decision to
run for re-election, Dreyer said
he would like to keep helping in
changing the community and
with the projects that he has
been working on.
Dreyer feels that he has
helped with a number of
projects which are influential in
the economy of the community.
One of these was the recent
passage of the hotel-motel tax
which will be revenue to be used
for advertising the community
and promoting tourism.
Another item, has been the
construction of the new ramp at
the harbor which was built by
the Parks and Wildlife Depart-
ment and the new breakwater
which cost the city very little
and was funded by the federal
government, states Dreyer.
The dispute over a common
boundary between Aransas
Pass and Port Aransas contin-
ued for a number of years and
Dreyer said he is very proud of
having helped to settle the
matter and seeing the dispute
come to an end.
Keeping the beaches open is
another project at which Dreyer
said he worked with the city
council to accomplish. He said it
is important to keep the beaches
open for the public use.
Improvement of streets is
another of Dreyer’s projects.
He said he has been negogiating
with the county and the county
has overlaid 10 miles of streets
and donated a lot to the
community. In addition, Dreyer
said he is proud to have been
influential in the repaving of a
number of streets.
Bietnedorf served as chair-
man of the committee which
studied the hotel-motel tax and
its proposed uses and feels that
Port Aransas is just getting well
oriented to what budgeting and
economy can mean to the city
and he feels that he can provide
the expertise.
Bietendorf is a graduate of
Texas A&M with a degree in
economics. In addition, he has a
graduate degree in banking
from the Southwestern Gradu-
ate school at Southern Metho-
dist University.
He was employed with
Republic National Bank in
Dallas for 20 years and was vice
president in charge of the
dealer installment loan section
when he left the bank
In Port Aransas, Bietendorf
owns two motels. His wife,
Margie, is a RN supervisor at
Lyman Roberts Hospital in
Aransas Pass.
Bietendorf says his political
philosphy is economy in
operations and budgeting and
that he is a conservative in local
politics, believing that there
should be as little government
as possible to provide the
services needed by the com-
munity.
In conclusion, Bietendorf said

Post In
Aransas County

years, is a candidate for the

can G.I. Forum, member of the
