Mayor & City Council <br /> City of La Porte <br /> City Hall <br /> La Porte, Texas <br /> Mr. Ron Bottoms <br /> City Manager <br /> City of La Porte <br /> Re: CenterPoint Hike & Bike Trail Easement <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> I had a telephone call from CenterPoint Energy's attorney on <br /> Thursday morning, who advised me that a decision had been made at <br /> a high level at CenterPoint Energy, that it would not agree to a <br /> permanent easement with the City of La Porte. CenterPoint <br /> instructed its attorneys to ask the City of La Porte to proceed <br /> with its condemnation suit. <br /> Accordingly, I will request that the formal condemnation resolution <br /> be placed on City Council's agenda for March 28, 2011. The <br /> CenterPoint attorney and I agreed to stay in contact, and try to <br /> reach agreement on as many of the matters in controversy as <br /> possible. <br /> Please call me if you have any questions. <br /> Yours very truly, <br /> Knox W.
