Neil Bishop and Cecil Allen presented the new cost comparisons between <br />the Southeast Plant and building a plant in La Porte. The new costs <br />include the CIWA line, expansion of the Lynchburg pumping station, <br />additional engineering (geotechnical), and operation and maintenance <br />costs. The bottom line figures were quite similar. <br /> <br />4. Ron Neighbors made a presentation of the Subsidence District's plan <br />and Policies. He indicated that although he could not speak for the <br />Subsidence District Board, he believed the delays the La Porte Area <br />Water Authority were encountering were unavoidable and should not <br />have any bearing on permit reapplications. He also stated that the <br />present goal of being on surface water by 1990 should be adhered to <br />regardless of the direction the Authority moves. <br /> <br />Cary Burnley made a motion for the La Porte Area Water Authority to <br />purchase treated water from the City of Houston Southeast Plant subject <br />to a satisfactory contract being negotiated with the City of Houston. <br />Second by Rick Matthews. It passed unanimously. <br /> <br />Another motion was made and seconded to advise all entities involved <br />with the La Porte Area Water Authority that negotiations will be <br />started with the City of Houston. It passed unanimously. This letter <br />is to be hand carried to each entity with a copy to the Harris-Galveston <br />Coastal Subsidence District. John Armstrong will begin reviewing <br />contracts for development of a satisfactory contract between La Porte <br />Area Water Authority and the City of Houston. <br /> <br />5. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:55 P.M. <br />
