e e Minutes, Public Hearings and Regular Meeting La Porte City Council February 22, 1988, Page 8 proceed with applying for a special conditional use permit. C. Staff report on dangerous building owned by Mrs. Ever1ena Thornton: the City Manager stated that staff had talked further with Mrs. Thornton regarding the repairs she had made to the property. He pointed out that the first time the buildings had been brought to Council's attention was in 1985. They were reinspected in 1987. In staff's opinion, the buildings are still not up to code. He asked that Council make a decision whether or not to extend the grace period, and if so, to place an ordinance on the agenda to eliminate this property from the CnBG program, so that staff can move forward. In addition, he would ask that Mrs. Thornton give the City a "hold harmless" agreement whereby she would not hold the City of La Porte responsible if anything were to occur on her property. Council's consensus was that the item should not be put on agenda for further action. 16. Council Action: Counci1persons Matuszak, Skelton, Clarke and Mayor Pro Tern Lloyd brought items to Council's attention. Counci1person Skelton requested staff look into costs of electricians tests given by the City, and also asked that something be done about smoking during the board meetings.
