Porter <br />City of La Porte <br />604 W. Fairmont Parkway <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br /> <br />RE: La Porte 2020 Comprehensive Plan 5- Year Update <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor Porter: <br /> <br />We are pleased to submit the 2005 update to the City of La Porte 2020 Comprehensive Plan. This report <br />was prepared in accordance with Chapter 1 which identifies the Plan as a principal part of the City's <br />overall planning process, involving all facets of the Community and requiring, as a minimum, an update <br />every five years to ensure that it reflects the true vision and direction of the community. <br /> <br />The charter of our committee was to review the Plan in its entirety, update the goals and objectives to <br />reflect progress and accomplishments, identify goals that require attention or recommend some for <br />deletion, and to further recommend any additional goals and objects in keeping with the City's vision as <br />delineated in the Comprehensive Plan itself. Our methodology incorporated a complete review of all the <br />chapters within the Plan, input from the general public, independent analysis by the committee members <br />and information gathered from the various interviews with all Department Directors, including the Main <br />Street Coordinator and Emergency Response personnel. We feel this update reflects viewpoints from a <br />broad spectrum and continues to serve the citizens of La Porte by seeking to preserve the unique quality <br />oflife of our City. <br /> <br />Speaking for the Committee, I can say that we welcomed the opportunity to participate in this important <br />task. It provided a forum to express our views and to receive valuable insight on the progress of our City <br />that may have been overlooked had we not taken the time to perform this update. We believe that we <br />faithfully represented the citizens and community leaders on their vision for the future development of the <br />community and hereby recommend this updated addendum as a continuing validation of the La Porte <br />2020 Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />d~W~ <br /> <br /> <br />Betty T . Waters <br />Chairperson <br />
