• EXHIBIT "A" • SERVICE PLAN FOR A TRACT OF LAND SITUATED NORTH OF FAIRMONT PARKWAY, AND WEST OF THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD TRACKS. I. INTRODUCTION This Service Plan ("Plan") is made by the City of La Porte, Texas ("City") pursuant to Section 10 of the Municipal Annexation Act art. 970a, V. A. T.S., (Vernon's Supp. 1982) (the "Act"). This Plan relates to the annexation by the City of a tract of land ("Tract") located North of Fairmont Parkway and West of the Southern Pacific railroad tracks. The Tract is described by metes and bounds in "Exhibit B" which is attached to this Plan and to the annexation ordinance of which this Plan is a part. • II. TERM; EFFECTIVE DATE This Plan shall be in effect for a term of ten years commencing on the effective date of the annexation of the Tract. Renewal of this Plan shall be at the option of the City. Such option may be exercised by the adoption of an ordinance by the City Council which refers to this Plan and specifically renews this Plan for a stated period of time. III. SERVICE PROGRAMS A. In General. This Plan includes two service programs: (i) the Early Action Program, described below, and (ii) a Capital Improvement Program, described below. B. Scope and Quality of Services. Services under this Plan shall equal or exceed the number of services and the level of services in existence in the Tract prior to annexation. However, it is not the intent of this Plan to require that a uniform level of services be provided to all areas of the City (including the Tract) where differing characteristics of topography, land utilization and popula- tion density are considered as sufficient basis for providing differing service levels. C. Definitions. • 1. As used in this Plan, providing services in- cludes having services provided by any method or means by which the City extends municipal services to any other area of the City. This may include causing or allowing private utilities, governmental enti- - ties and other public service organizations to provide such services, in whole or in part. 2. As used in this Plan, the phrase "standard poli- cies and procedures" means those policies and procedures of the City applicable to a particular service which are in effect either at the time that the service is requested or at the time that the service is made available or provided. The policies and procedures may require that a specific type of request be made, such as an application or • a petition. They may require that fees or charges be paid, and they may include eligibility requirements and similar provisions.
