<br />Canita1 Imnrovement Funds <br /> <br />The Capital Improvement Funds, while not containing any multi-million dollar <br />projects as in past years, contains numerous small to medium sized projects that <br />will help fine tune the City infrastructure and facilities. A sampling of the <br />projects are listed below. <br /> <br />J Installation of a Computer Aided Dispatch and other Police Systems for <br />the Police Department, <br /> <br />J Relocation of Municipal Court from City Hall to the Police Station, <br />J Design of a Sport Center to meet the growing needs of our special <br />handicap population', <br /> <br />J <br /> <br />Purchasing a set of Aerial Maps to be used in future studies and to <br />assist in planning La Porte's future, <br /> <br />J <br />J <br />J <br /> <br />Renovating the City Jail, <br /> <br />Reconstructing "H" Street, <br /> <br />Providing funds to study and begin addressing infiltration problems <br />within the City's sanitary sewer system, <br /> <br />J <br /> <br />Installing a water line adjacent to Spencer Highway to loop the <br />Co11egeview area with the City's water system, and <br /> <br />J Continued renovation of Main Street curbs and sidewalks. <br /> <br />In conclusion, this balanced budget represents the latest of several expenditure <br />strategies reflecting sound, prudent, financial management policies and practices. <br />Ye are fortunate that our administration has been able to weather the distressed <br />economic conditions of the Houston-Metropolitan area. Council is to be <br />congratulated for providing strong leadership. <br /> <br />One of my major goals is building the City's financial reserves to a level that can <br />safely respond to unexpected emergencies. I believe this goal has been met. <br /> <br />In my years of experience, I have not had the pleasure of working with an executive <br />staff as committed, talented and competent, as the personnel the City of La Porte <br />now enjoys. I wish to offer my sincere gratitude to them for their hard work in <br />helping to make possible the accomplishments to date. In addition I wish to thank <br />City Council for the quality time spent on this years budgetary process. Your <br />professionalism and dedication to the City of La Porte is admirable. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />ex ~~.-r. ~l\..1..R..",-" <br />Robert T.
