<br /> <br /> <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />T0: Jack Owen <br />FROM: John Joerns <br />DATE: <br />July 2, 1984 <br />SUBJECT: Termination of Step I of EPA Grant - Lomax Planning Area <br />I have discussed the status of our EPA Step I Grant with TDWR <br />personnel in Austin. Presently, the grant is approximately 91~ <br />complete. The only remaining items required by the grant and by <br />the Engineering Agreement are: <br />(1) Final preparation and <br />Assessment~Amendment. <br />~10TE: Draft Copy has <br />(2) Final Preparation of <br />OTE: Draft Copy has <br />(3) Prepare and execute a <br />approval of an Environmental <br />been submitted. <br />a Facility Plan Amendment. <br />been submitted. <br />Public Participation Program. <br />TDWR is agreeable to the termination of the Step I Grant at its <br />present level of completion. If the grant were completed, it is <br />doubtful that Step 2 and 3 funding (construction funds for reha- <br />bilitation) would be received due to the low priority given to <br />projects of this size and nature. If, in the future, funding for <br />work of this nature became readily available, the City could re- <br />apply for funds to complete the project and then proceed to <br />construction. <br />The termination of the Step I Grant (Lomax) would result in a <br />total savings of $20,306: 25~ ($5,076) to the City and 75~ <br />($15,230) to the EPA. <br />It is my recommendation that the City amicably terminate the <br />Engineering Contract with Busch, Hutchison, and Associates and that <br />Council pass a resolution stating that the City wishes to terminate <br />the Step I Grant at its current level of completion. <br />Jo Joerns +~ <br />lb <br />CI <br /> <br />~-3-~~ <br />INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />• <br />!~~ <br />CITY MGR'S OFFICE <br />
