<br />To: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br /> <br />City of La Porte <br />Interoffice MelTIOrandulTI <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Ron Bottoms, City Manager <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />July 10, 2009 <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Friday Memo <br /> <br />Budget: Finalizing... We spent all day today going through and tine tuning next year's draft budget. <br />Hopefully we'll finalize the proposed budget by the end of next week so that Shelly can begin to <br />compile your budget books. <br /> <br />Main Street Parking: The striping has been completed on the south side of 3rd Street. We are now <br />working on some directional signs along Main Street. We are also planning on striping some <br />additional parking on 3 I'd north of Main Street. <br /> <br />Town Plaza: The fuel tanks have been removed, the soils tested, and we've received a clean lab report. <br />The backfilling of the holes will be done by the plaza contractor. The cost of the remediation was right <br />at $29,000. <br /> <br />Community Center: We met with representatives from Clark Condon on Wednesday to begin the <br />process for evaluating a new community center. They plan on having several focus group meetings, to <br />include meeting with the Save the Pavilion folks, meetings with staft~ and at least two public meetings <br />in order to determine the layout and location of the facility. <br /> <br />K9 drug bust: Last night our newest K9 member, Lodka, who was just certified last week, discovered <br />2.3 grams of crack cocaine inside a false lid on a soda can during a traffic stop. <br /> <br />Houston Chronicle: 1 received, and responded to, an inquiry from Carol Christian with the Chronicle <br />regarding the City's position on the Sylvan Beach pavilion. 1 basically told her that the City was <br />evaluating our options. She obviously had been prompted by the Save the Pavilion group. <br />
