Council considered authorizing the City Manager to take appropriate action regarding delinquent utility account of Green Oaks Apartments, owned and managed by Harris County Housing Authority. Mr. Tony Love, representative of Harris County Housing Authority, addressed Council regarding the delinquent utility account of Green Oaks Apartments. Mr. Love stated that there is a potential buyer for the apartments, and the delinquent utility account must be paid in full before the sale can become final. The sale should take place the first week in September, subject to HUD approval. After discussion and questions from Council had been answered by Mr. Love, motion was made by Councilperson Skelton to allow until the end of September for the utility bill to be paid and to let the tenants know that the water will be shut off at that time if the bill is not paid, and that the City Manaaer handle the details. Second by Councilperson Cooper. Mr. Love asked that if the tenants have to be notified, that it does not happen before the deadline, in order not to panic the tenants. Due to some confusion, the motion was restated by Councilperson Skelton that "the City of La Porte will not extend services after September 30 whether the sale closes or does not close and the City Manager will handle dates with the Housing Authority as far as the notification of those involved at the apartment complex and that we will be raid in full for our services prior to September 30 or it will be cut off. Councilperson Cooper seconded the restated motion. The motion carried, 9 ayes and 0 nays.
