. . . . ., e e if ~ E.i~Qlt1I1IQlI WHEREAS the City Conrrnission has been advised by Mr. John F. Duncan, Jr., Houston, Texas that he intends to use his best efforts to arrange for the development of 219 acres of land on the west side of Highway 146, north and adjacent to Shore Acres and that in order to properly develop this area he desires to create a fresh water supply district to provide water and sewer facilities in this area. The City of La Porte has already passed an ordinance annexing this area on first reading. Sl10uld this annexation be completed before the water district can be formed and can issue and deliver its bonds, then this allllexa- tion would completely stop and would dissolve the water district. Therefore Mr. Duncan has requested the City to give him an expression to the effect that the City has no objection to the creation of this district and that it does not intend to oomplete the annexation until the district has been completed and funds have been made available for the construction of water and sewer facilities. Whereas the State Statutes provide that when a city annexes an entire fresh water supply district or water control and improvement district then the City acquires all of the assets of this district and assumes all of the debts of this district. It is the position of the City of La Porte that it is fully justified in asking that the developer agree to the following conditions: (a) It is intended that the Board of Supervisors of the proposed District will submit to the City of La Porte all pl~ns and specifications for the construction of water and sewer facilities and that these plans and specifications meet the City of La Porte standards. (b) That all water and s~ver facilities constructed ,vill be so designed that they vall be readily integrated with the City of La Porte facilities should they be extended to this area.
