.. ~ :. Mr. Charles Ea"sterlin , City Attorney ~ugust 22, 1980 g City of Pasadena Page 2 of the City of La Porte that it will annex the district at a later date. Therefore, the City of La Porte respect- fully declines to release its ETJ over the College View Municipal Utility District Area. As stated, the City of La Porte is quite willing to release its ETJ over the City of Pasadena-owned civic center and rodeo ground sites. However, as I am sure you realize, this is a loss to the City of La Porte, inasmuch as if the City of Pasadena had not purchased this land, it would have, in due course, been developed industrially as part of the Bayport Industrial District of the City of La Porte, from which the City of La Porte would have derived industrial district tax revenues over the years. Accordingly, it is the feeling of the City Commission that the City of Pasadena should, from other land contiguous to La Porte, within Pasadena's annexation jurisdiction in the Bayport Industrial District, release equivalent acreage to the City of La Porte, to adjust for, and compensate the City of La Porte for, this loss of acreage to it. Please discuss this with your City Council, after which we would be happy to meet with you to discuss details of such transfer at a mutually convenient time. As soon as the matters noted in this letter have been agreed upon, the City of La Porte should be in a position to fina- lize action on its part, on the Ordinances which you requested, with appropriate changes to the ETJ division line. With best personal regards I am Yours very truxly, _ ~ir~• _-~ G%~ • Knox W. Askins City Attorney, City of La Porte KWA/sfj Enclosures cc: Hon. Mayor and City Commissioners '~ Mr. James R.
