<br />THE SAME BEING IN THE WESTSIDE BUILDING RATHER THAN

<br />WHEREAS,
<br />the City Council has, by prior Resolution No. 2005-076, adopted June 27, 2005
<br />ordered a City-Wide Special Election to be held in the City of Paris on the second Saturday in
<br />th
<br />September, the same being the 10 day of September, 2005, for the purpose of considering a
<br />proposition calling for the adoption of an ordinance prohibiting the City of Paris from privatizing the
<br />collection, handling, and disposition of residential garbage, trash, and rubbish, and providing for the
<br />method of fixing charges for such services; and,
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> the polling place stated in said Resolution No. 2005-076 for voters for District
<br />1 is designated as the Red River Valley Fairgrounds, Building B, 570 East Center Street; and,
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> because of the timing of said election, the same being a Special Election, the
<br />traditional polling place of Building B is unavailable, having been rented prior to the date of the
<br />announcement of the election, and an alternative polling place needs to be designated; and,
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> the Red River Valley Fair Association has offered a building designated as the
<br />Westside Building, also located at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds, with the same mailing address,
<br />the same being 570 E. Center Street, as an alternative location for said polling place; and,
<br />WHEREAS,
<br /> the City Council finds and determines that the aforesaid Westside Building,
<br />because it is also located on the Red River Valley Fairgrounds, and is of sufficient size, and is
<br />available on the designated date, remains the most practical and reasonable choice for a substitute
<br />NOW, THEREFORE,
<br />polling place for the voters of District 1 for this Special Election only;
<br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, PARIS,
<br />TEXAS:
<br />Section 1.

<br />
