• • City of Shoreacres La Porte, Texas • Page 2 10-24-78 It has long been the policy of the City of La Porte to enter into sewage treatment contracts with other entities, only in cases where the territory to be served is within the exclusive annexation jurisdiction of the City of La Porte. Thus, our only current contract of this type is with Spenwick Place M.U.D., which is the exclusive extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of La Porte. Although the agreement with Spenwick Place M.U.D. is a long term contract, the City of La Porte has the right to unilaterally annex the area at the appropriate time. The contract was necessary for Spenwick Place M.U.D. to com- plete its E.P.A. Grant Application for federal funding of its sewage collection facilities. Attached to this letter are copies of letters from the City of La Porte, to Bayshore Municipal Utility District, dated August 31, 1977, and to the City of Shoreacres, dated September 9, 1977. The La Porte City Commission wishes to reiterate that the statements of policy contained in these two letters continue as the policy of the City of La Porte, and it is the considered opinion of the La Porte City Commission that the procedure out- lined in the two letters will provide the most satisfactory solution to this pressing problem for all parties concerned. In addition, the inclusion of the three entities within one city will lead to improved efficiency in other areas of govern- mental services, and will provide much -needed basic municipal services not now available, to the unincorporated BMUD area. We appreciated the opportunity of meeting with you and Shoreacres City Council to discuss this and other matters of mutual concern.
