• • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council October 17, 1984, Page 7 15. Administrative Reports: Mr. Owen reported we have now received enough information from Harris County Appraisal District to be able to consider a tax rate, and asked for a workshop on October 24 to discuss this matter so that it can be placed on the first regular meeting in November to adopt the rate if Council sees fit. He added his congratulations to Lt. LaFitte on his hard work in getting his Masters degree. Mr. Owen stated that the HCAD Board of Directors had unanimously voted to direct their chief appraiser to present a revised budget proposal within 30 days for the Board to consider. Another thing the Board did was to vote unanimously to have two-year appraisals on real property, to be done in even numbered years. The Chairman of the Appraisal Board, Fred Hartman, has resigned, and we will need to join with other cities to • replace him. Mayor Cline commented that November 1 is the deadline for submitting a name for the Appraisal Board, and suggested that since we are going to have a workshop on October 24, perhaps we should also have a special called meeting that night to submit a name. She also noted that HCAD had set some public hearings on their budget, but was not sure of the dates. 16. Council Action: Ma one: Would like an executive session on land acquisiton. Inquired what kind of building was going up on Fairmont Parkway by the car wash - the metal building. (Was told it~is going to be mini-storage, but the metal is not the exterior finish.) Bred es: Has Jack received any more figures on water studies? Mr. Owen replied no. It was his understanding that Council wanted him to prepare an RFP based on the one that we had written. It is now prepared and is being sent out for the proposals. •
