• • <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />T0: Mayor Norman Malone & DATE: July 1, 1987 <br />Members of City Council <br />FROM: Robert T. Herrera, City Mana er <br />~~-~ <br />SUBJECT: Fiscal Opportunities Facing <br />The City of La Porte <br />During the July 6, 1987, Workshop, staff's presentation to Council <br />will center on fiscal opportunities the City must address. <br />The session will prove very informative and enlighting. This <br />meeting will test our abilities to recognize the importance of <br />following and implementing financial guidelines generally accepted <br />by public sector accounting authorities. <br />This year's theme of "doing more with less" is truly symbolic of <br />what is happening throughout the economically depressed State of <br />Texas, and should not be perceived by La Portians as a singling <br />out effect. To the contrary, La Porte's position is unique in <br />that we are in better control of our future than most other Texas <br />cities. <br />We have the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee which guided the <br />development of the City of La Porte's comprehensive plan. <br />We have the Citizens Advisory Committee that identified and <br />recommended a five (5) year Capital Improvement Program which <br />resulted in the approval of $24.9 million dollars in capital <br />improvements by the voters of La Porte. <br />A progressive Planning & Zoning Commission that took the hard work <br />of the steering committee and adopted the elements that comprise <br />the Comprehensive Plan. <br />
