AW::lreling Riel Amount Requested: $12,750 Exhibits: Coastal Cooperation AQreement Budgeted Item: YES NO Exhibits: Letter from Harris County SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION In April of 2002 the City Council approved a Project Cooperation Agreement with the Texas General Land Office to study the erosion problems at Sylvan Beach Park and make a recommendation as to remediation. As discussed in the previous item, that portion of the project is complete and the Texas General Land Office is ready to begin final design and permitting of the project. The amendment to the agreement approved in April will add an additional $85,000 to the existing agreement to fund the permitting process through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, develop the final design for the project, and complete the bidding process. The TGLO will provide $72,250, or 85% of the addtional estimated cost of the project. The City will contribute $12,750, or 15% of the total estimated cost of the project. Sylvan Beach Park is Harris County property. Harris County has agreed to participate in the project and an agreement is being drawn up to be presented to Council that will reimburse the City for % of its match, or $6,375. Participation in this project does not obligate either the City or Harris County to any future activity regarding actual construction of the project. The City and Harris County jointly constructed and have operated Sylvan Beach Fishing Pier since 1995. There are funds set aside in the Sylvan Beach Pier Escrow Fund to cover the cost of rebuilding the pier, should it become necessary, as well as additional funds that could be used to fund the City's share of this Project Cooperation Agreement. The balance of funds in this account, over the amount required for pier replacement, is expected to be approximately $43,000 at year-end. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council consider approval of the proposed Project Cooperation Agreement between the Texas General Land Office and the City of La Porte, with $12,750 for the City's share to be funded from the Pier Revenue Escrow fund. Action Required by Council: Consider approval of the Project Cooperation Agreement Amendment as described above.
