• Page Three Minutes May 9, 1989 Steve Gillett reported Mercer Construction Company has provided the Authority with an updated construction schedule. He stated there is a progress meeting with the contractor the last Thursday of every month at 1:30 P.M. at Public Works where the contractor presents estimates and problems he is encountering. The minutes of these meetings are mailed with each Authority meeting agenda. Mr. Gillett also reported he talks with Robert Ray daily and receives written daily reports weekly that he plots and notes the progress of the water line. 7. General Manager Bob Herrera reported on the following easements: The easement between Fairmont Park Joint Venture and the City of La Porte on behalf of the Authority has been agreed on and a check has been issued. In addition, a deed has been filed in Harris County. The Authority"s attorneys and attorneys representing Height Savings and the FSLIC reached a verbal agreement on location of the Shoreacres" easement and are in the process of acquiring a written agreement. FSLIC has agreed to allow the contractor right of entry in the event problems arise. John Joerns has visited with PPG"s plant manager and has had contact with the attorney representing PPG and feel a license agreement is forthcoming. Again, if the La Porte Area Water Authority is put under undue circumstances to meet a completion deadline, PPG will give the Authority right of entry. As directed by the Board, a letter was written to Cody Greer, Real Estate Attorney for the City of Houston and Coastal Water Authority (CWA), copied to the Subsidence District and Jon Vanden Bosch. Mr. Greer has reviewed the agreement drawn up by LPAWA attorneys, making minor changes. This agreement has now been sent to Friendswood Development Company and should receive their approval. Friendswood may ask for some attachments asking the Authority for permission to enter the easements if needed in the future. Steve Gillett restated the project schedule noting the Authority still had some time to procure the easements before the Contractor needs entry. 8. President Jerry Bramlett thanked the General Manager for his quick action on the letter sent to Cody Greer.
