"Gentlemen
"In accordance with your appointment and directions on August 12, 1963, we have met
and make the following recommendations to the Commissioners' Court
•
111. Effective August 1963-- Combine Voting Precinct No 6-Kurten with Voting
Precinct No 12-Reliance, with Polling Place at Kurten School, and
"F Voting Precinct No 13 be divided into two voting Precints- Box 13 and Box 12,
Box 12 boundaries to be North City Limit Line of College Station, Texas Avenue,
Villa Maria Road to New Elementary School and Burton Creek (Box 18 and Box 13
description would have to save and except new Box 12). This change would
necessitate the addition of a strip of land between Villa Maria Road and Meadow-
brook Addition and Texas Avenue and Burton Creek and New Elementary School to
Commissioner Precinct No 1 and deletion from Commissioner Precinct No 4.
r
"3. Effective August 1964 it is recommended that the Court check and bring up to date
the metes and bounds description of all voting precincts shown in Vol J, page

q`
Texas, with Attached County and City Maps, and
'

After much discussion among the Court as to the feasibility of carrying out the recom-
mendations of the committee, it was determined that in order to change voting bout 19 as
recommended by the committee, it would be necessary for all four of the Commissioners to run
•
for reelection at the next General Election to be held in 1964, since, under the law, the
changing of any portion of a Commissioner's precinct requires all Commissioners to have to
seek reelection at the next General Election The Court also considered the combining of
;ya
voting precincts 6 and 12, and decided against same, since it would place too great an incon-
venience on those people from the Reliance area having to go to Kurten to vote, and it was
f

i t i
deemed that there were sufficient people living in both areas to justify the keeping of both

Y
boxes. On motion made, seconded, and unanimously passed, the Court voted to leave the voting
+
precincts as they are now constituted for the present time, and to express its appreciation
