Robinson CRY CONTROLLER: Sylvia R Gorcla Anthony W. Hall, Jr. City Attorney November 1, 2000 Steve Gillett Public Works Director City Of La Porte P.O. Box 1115 Laporte, Texas 77572 RE: Proposed Restated Cost Sharing Agr~ement Dear Mr. Gillett: The Department of Public Works has requested that I give some additional explanation for the proposed changes in the Southeast Plant Restated Cost Sharing Agreement, which representatives of Houston and the other participants agreed to in February of this year. An inherent problem with a negotiation process that it involves only representatives of the parties and that the parties themselves may fail to approve the agreement reached by the representatives. In the case of Southeast Plant negotiations, apparently the results of the negotiations and workshops held in the winter of 1999-2000 were not conveyed to decision makers of City of Pasadena. During the Summer of 2000, representatives of Houston and Pasadena met on several . occasions and agreed to four minimal changes to the contract. These changes are either favorable to all participants or relate to the location of Pasadena's Point or Delivery. They are as follows: Page 15: Pasadena had requested the addition of a statement at Paragraph 3.1.1 setting out the equity ownership of each Participant. This has been done by adding a reference in the Paragraph to each Exhibit II, which specifies the percentage of equity ownership. Sf!IWia 7~ ~tUQ. @ PrIn'8d on Ilecy_ Pap.
