Staff started searching for a <br />suitable location. We approached LPISD about possibly selling a parcel of land from the Baker <br />School site. This site has 300 feet of frontage on Spencer Highway and is 180 feet in depth and <br />is the area where the unused tennis courts are. The City has had the land appraised, which is <br />$209,520.00. The decision was made to attempt to purchase this site if the Bond Proposal to <br />build a new Station Two was approved by the voters. The LPISD School Board has approved <br />the sale of the property to the City of La Porte for the appraised value. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Approve an ordinance for the purchase of the requested site from LPISD in the amount of Two Hundred <br />and Nine Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Dollars (209,520.00). <br />�n <br />Date <br />
