The Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association will continue to operate the swimming pool and park as a recreation area for neighborhood residents. The City will pursue re- designing the existing Fairmont Park East Detention Basin to convert it into a multi-use park/detention facility. The existing facility does not have adequate maintenance access for utilization as a recreation area. Re-design will provide the needed access and, with community input, also provide a conceptual park layout for future development of this site. Staff recommends that the ordinance be approved. The City plans to work with the Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association to develop a detention basin/park that will meet both the City's and the area homeowner's recreation needs at this new park site. Action Required bv Council: Consider approval or other action regarding an ordinance authorizing an agreement between the City of La Porte and Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association for the exchange of real property and providing for the construction of a neighborhood park.
