A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE
STATION SUPPORTING THE SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT AS IT
REMAINS TODAY.
WHEREAS,
Brazos County, Texas has been a part of what is
commonly called the Sixth Congressional District
of Texas since 1903, and
WHEREAS,
the Sixth Congressional District of Texas is made
up primarily of Brazos County and other counties
of similar size with similar economic, social and
cultural interests, and
WHEREAS,
during recent decades Brazos County has grown to
become one of the largest and most important
counties within the Sixth Congressional District
of Texas, and
WHEREAS,
Texas anticipates additional congressional seats
and redistricting to accommodate them in 1991, and
WHEREAS,
with the anticipated growth and development of
Brazos County as the location of Texas A&M
University, effective congressional and
legislative representation of Brazos County will
become even more critical to its citizens, and
WHEREAS,
it is strongly felt that the interests of the
citizens of Brazos County are best served by the
county remaining intact (as a complete county
within one congressional district) such as has
generally been the Sixth District since at least
1935, and separate from any congressional district
whose majority population might be represented by
the residents of a single urban or large city-
county.
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that The City of College Station as
attested by its undersigned representative(s)
HEREBY,
supports the efforts of citizens to keep Brazos
County intact and in the Sixth Congressional
District not dominated by a single block of a
large city or urban area residents.
