  • May 7, 2020 to the MEMBERS of the UNITED STATES CONGRESS
    May 7, 2020 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS: On behalf of the undersigned chambers of commerce, civic groups, trade associations, and other non-profits, we urge you to extend eligibility for the Paycheck Protection Program to all nonprofit organizations when Congress considers the next COVID-19 emergency assistance legislation. Thousands of nonprofit organizations — including ours — were left out of the Phase 3 CARES Act and are being hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Our groups contribute to the vitality and spirit of our communities. We employ thousands of people and provide important workforce development and educational tools, economic support, and civic and cultural events. Our organizations have suffered major financial losses due to the pandemic of the type the Paycheck Protection Program was intended to alleviate. Some non-profits have already permanently closed their doors. Many more will be forced to do so without relief from Congress. The CARES Act made certain nonprofit organizations eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program. We urge Congress to extend this assistance to local chambers of commerce, civic groups, trade associations, and other non-profits so that organizations like ours can continue to provide important, community-minded services. Sincerely, National American Institute of CPAs American International Automobile Dealers Agricultural Retailers Association Association Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute American Iron and Steel Institute American Apparel & Footwear Association

  • El Lago Long Range Planning Commission
    Public Opinion Concerning Medium- and High-rise Development in the City of El Lago Report on a Community Survey Conducted for Long Range Planning Commission City of El Lago, Texas John Tully, Chair Conducted by Strategic Forecasting and Development, LLC Dr. Peter Bishop, President August 2005 Background The City of El Lago is one of the municipalities in the Clear Lake area to the Southeast of Houston. It contains about 3,000 residents and a small commercial sector along NASA Road One, the main artery through the southern part of the City. El Lago is bounded on the east by Seabrook and on the west by Pasadena and Taylor Lake Village. El Lago contains some multi-family complexes (condominiums, townhouses and apartments) in the strip between NASA Road One and Clear Lake. According to existing zoning requirements, however, none of the complexes is more than four stories. Recently developers have approached the City for zoning variances or changes to the zoning ordinance that would permit taller structures—so-called medium- to high-rise developments. None of these projects has been approved, but the City expects the requests to continue. As a result, the City Council has established a Long Range Planning Commission to make recommendations on the future direction of the City. In addition to consulting with urban planners and architects, Mr. John Tully, a Member of the City Council and the Chair of the Planning Commission, approached Dr. Peter Bishop, President of Strategic Forecasting and Development (SFD) and Chair of the graduate program in Studies of the Future at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, to assist in involving citizens in the planning process.

It lies ~800 feet off shore of the Sulphur Bank Rancheria, present-day home to the Elem Indian Colony. The island contains 6 recorded archaeological sites ranging in age from ~5,000 years old to the recent historic period. The largest of the 6 recorded sites is CA-LAK-89/H, which represents the ethno-historic village of Elem. All 6 sites contain prehistoric artifacts and features and many contain historic materials that represent the Mexican period (1834-1849), Overseas Chinese period (1850-1900), and recent historical events that have shaped the Elem people. Rattlesnake Island is recognized by the Elem Community of Southeastern Pomo as their place of origin as well as their political and religious center. At the time of the most recent archaeological and historical inspection (1978-81) the cultural sites on the island retained integrity with many original rock alignments and house depressions noted. Rock and brick foundations were found with associated historic cultural materials. The fact that the district is located on an island, coupled with its close proximity to the contemporary mainland location of the Elem Indian Colony have served Looking east at Rattlesnake Island, present Elem to protect the cultural resources it community is on mainland closest to the island.
