Community Members,

I have been strongly encouraging the Capital Metro Transportation
Authority (CTMA) Board to hold a public meeting concerning the
transport of ethanol via rail through eastern Travis County, and how
residents may potentially be impacted by the transport of ethanol and
the ethanol facility.

As a result, the CMTA Board is hosting a public meeting on the ethanol
issue on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 6:30pm at the Gus Garcia Middle
School on 7414 Johnny Morris Road (see attachments). If youre
available on that date, I strongly encourage you to attend, and please
invite others that you know may be affected by this issue.

Thank you!

- Commissioner Ron Davis, Travis County Precinct 1
