<br />HARRIS COUNTY COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> <br />FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT <br /> <br />March 4, 2008 <br /> <br />On August 22, 2006, Commissioners Court approved an agreement between Harris County and The City <br />of La Porte for the Northside Neighborhood Single-Family New Construction Project which will consist <br />of five (5) single-family homes for low- and very low-income citizens located at 211 North 15t Street, <br />207 and 216 North 2nd Street, and 210 and 224 North 6th Street in the City of La Porte, Harris County, <br />Texas, in Precinct 2, utilizing $457,300.00 in HOME funds. <br /> <br />The Harris County Community Services Department (CSD) and The City of La Porte now desire to <br />amend the August 22, 2006 agreement to reduce the amount of required match provided by the City of <br />La Porte by $12,500.00 which will allow the City to retain marketing and listing services. Due to current <br />housing market conditions, CSD recommends this match reduction in favor of marketing efforts to <br />reduce the days on the market and improve the chances the homes are sold within a reasonable <br />timeframe. <br /> <br />Attached for Commissioners Court review and approval is the First Amendment to the Agreement <br />between Harris County and the City of La Porte for the this project. <br /> <br />J :\gmshare\QA \AtfordableHousingT eam(2)\Projects\CityotLaPorte\NortbsideHousingII\Contracts\First Amendment\NortbsideExecutive Summary First <br />Amendment 1-16-08.doc <br />
