The Voluntazy Contribution Plan <br />can be a tangible asset to the City of La. Porte, funded by people who care about making I.a Porte a better <br />place to live. The real advantage of this program is that it is strictly voluntary. Residents can choose to <br />participate or not, much like the campaign contribution block on the U.S. tax returns. It's relatively painless <br />and can make a tremendous difference in funding the quality of life issues such as Keep La Porte Beautiful, <br />and Tree City U.S.A., and our trail system that were so important to our resideirts as indicated in the Pazk <br />IVlaster Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan Update. Residents, businesses, and anyone who pays a water <br />bill can participate, and by doing so, contribute to the improvement of these quality of life issues for our city. <br />Staff recommends that the City Council consider implementation of the Voluntary Contribution Plan for <br />Beautification and Trails Initiatives for La Porte. <br />coon l[aeceuired v ouncil: <br />Give staff direction regarding the City of La Porte's participation in the voluntary utility :billing program to <br />benefit beautification and trails initiatives in La.
