~- ~~ t ~_.~ • April 3, 1967 The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners The City of La Porte, La Porte, Texas Gentlemen and Mrs. Compton: On March 8, 1967, at the La Porte Community Church Executive Board meeting, I was instructed to exchange bills of sale to the Church's double garage building at the rear of the Church ~c~the old City Library building. In getting this exchange to- gether, I find the following: City Commission meeting, December 5, 1966, Paragraph 14 of the minutes: "fo9r. C. L. Laird requested that the Boy Scout Troop 90 be allowed the use of the old Library building for their meetings, and presen~d a letter from the Masonic Lodge approving the continued use of their property as the lo- cation. "Commissioner Stabs made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Shepherd, that the Boy Scouts Troop 90 be allowed to use the building for their meetings, provided they will maintain the building. Motion carried." Church Executive Board meeting, December 14, 1966, from the minutes: "Scouting: Sewer reported that Jim Counts and his Scouts had been very active. • He also reported that the City of La Forte offered to give the old Library Building to Scout Troop 90. They want our garage as trade-in and will move the garage. The old Library Building can remain on the present premier un- til the Masons sell the property. Cullen made motion we donate the garage to the City of La Porte for their moving it, ~n exchange for the old Library Building. Seyer seconded the motion and motion carried unanimously." Unsigned letter on Church stationery, dated December 19, 1966: "To the City of La Porte: In a regular session of the Executive Board of Community Church it was voted that in consideration of the use by Boy Scout Troop 90 of the "Old Library Building", the City of La Porte may take possession of the garage building now being used by Scout Troop 90. It xas understood by the Executive Board that the Citywill be responsible for re- moving this building after the Scout Troop has been able to move into the "library building" and before the proposed construction on the site takes place. It was noted in the minutes that the Executive Board on behalf of Community Church wish to express their appreciation for the generosity by the City of La Porte, for the donated use of the old "library building "."
