<br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br /> <br />IIjjfl:ll"j!IIIII!lillllrjllllllfjlllllll~lllllilillll!11~lljltlrl;llljllllllllllllllllllllllll!llllrlri <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />May 6, 1998 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Robert T. Herrera, City Manager <br />0?T~ <br />Dolphin Pilings <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />The Galveston Bay Foundation has offered a gift to the City of La Porte consisting of the <br />placement and building of two (2) dolphin cluster pilings to compliment the Sylvan Beach <br />Fishing Pier. <br /> <br />The location of the dolphin pilings would be on the north side of the pier. For your <br />review, I have attached a schematic showing the proposed location. When in place, the <br />dolphin pilings will allow the parking of large ships or barges to dock alongside the pier <br />for City approved events. <br /> <br />The installation would be handled through the Texas Waterway Operators Association, <br />which will obt.ain all necessary permits from the General Land Office and the U.S. Corps <br />of Engineers. <br /> <br />Staff would recommend the acceptance of this gift, which is valued around $8,000 to <br />$10,000. <br /> <br />RTH:cjb <br />Attachment <br />c John Joems <br />Jeff Litchfield <br />Stephen Barr <br />
