ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS <br />A. SCHEDULING A WORKSHOP MEETING FOR JANUARY 30th <br />B. PROPOSED LAND APPLICATION OF SLUDGE NEAR THE .INTERSECTION <br />OF UNDERWOOD ROAD AND FAIRMONT PARKWAY <br />City Manager Robert T. Herrera brought Council's attention to <br />some items which should be brought to a workshop meeting. He <br />suggested a meeting date of January 30th and Council <br />concurred. <br />Mr. Herrera stated he would like to address Council regarding <br />the application of sludge near the intersection of Underwood <br />Road and Fairmont Parkway at Councilperson Cooper's request. <br />He asked Director of Public Works Steve Gillett to assist him <br />in giving this report. The report indicates Magna-Flow <br />Environmental has submitted an application to The Texas <br />Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) for a <br />proposed land application of sludge. Mr. Herrera stated, "The <br />point of tonight's report is to let Council know we as a staff <br />have some reservations, and we believe that one of the <br />criteria that was missed by the TNRCC is they did not notify <br />the City of La Porte that this application was being <br />considered in our City limits/ETJ." Mr. Herrera suggested the <br />City might write a letter to the TNRCC stating the City would <br />be interested in hosting a public hearing on behalf of the <br />Commission so that residents could respond to the application. <br />He also suggested the City might write to the land owner, <br />Chevron USA, as well as the applicant, Magna-Flow <br />Environmental, voicing the City's concerns. Council concurred <br />with Mr. Herrera's suggestion. <br />10. COUNCIL ACTION <br />Councilpersons Sutherland, McLaughlin, Porter, and Gay brought <br />items to Council attention. <br />11.
