    Scott Griggs, the newly elected councilmember for Dallas City Council District 3, writes a letter requesting that the council delay the vote on the composition of the Gas Drilling Task Force by five days until June 27th. Griggs argues that gas drilling was an important issue in his election and the two proposed drilling sites are located in District 3 near homes and schools. He states that a short delay will ensure proper representation of District 3 residents on the important issue and will not impact the task force's timeline. Griggs plans to attend interviews for the Gas Drilling Ad Hoc Nominating Committee and vote on the task force composition on June 27th when he takes office.

    Re: Gas Drilling Task Force & Gas Drilling Ad Hoc Nominating Committee

    Honorable Mayor & Councilmembers:

    The Dallas City Council District 3 election was a referendum not only on leadership but also on
    the integrity of the handling of gas drilling within the City of Dallas. In no other race was the
    issue so debated. As you know, in no other part of our City is the issue so important. The first
    two proposed sites for drilling on City-owned land are in District 3 near our homes and schools.

    It is vital that we restore the trust of District 3 residents in our municipal government and provide
    accountability for decisions made on their behalf. To that end, it is prudent and essential that we
    delay the June 22 vote on the composition of the Gas Drilling Task Force until I take office on
    Monday, June 27. I am writing to request such a delay.

    This five day delay will not impede the Gas Drilling Task Force's timetable whatsoever, but it
    will ensure that District 3 residents are properly represented on this very important issue.

    The Gas Drilling Ad Hoc Nominating Committee will conduct interviews next week, and I plan
    to attend and will be prepared to vote on the composition of the Gas Drilling Task Force on
    Monday, June 27.

    As the incoming councilmember for District 3, I hope you will respect my request for a five day
    delay on a vote that is so important to my constituents. Thank you for consideration of this
    request and I look forward to working with you.

    Very truly yours,

    Scott Griggs
    Scott T. Griggs
    Councilmember-Elect, District 3
