• • <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />FEBRUARY 6, 1991 <br />TO: Robert T. Herrera, City Manager <br />FROM: Stan Sherwood, Director of Parks and Recreation <br />SUBJECT: Texas Parks and Wildlife Grant for Little Cedar Bayou <br />Park <br />Over the last several years we have lost a small amount of <br />shoreline along Little Cedar Bayou Park. Last year with the <br />occurrence of two hurricanes and one tropical storm we lost <br />approximately 20 - 30 ft. of shoreline along the entrance into <br />Little Cedar Bayou Park. Attached are pictures showing the erosion <br />problem. One way to slow this process is to bulkhead this area as <br />shown on the attached drawing. By adding the boardwalk above the <br />bulkhead it then becomes a nature walk and fishing area for the <br />citizens of La Porte and can qualify for 50/50 matching funds from <br />the State of Texas. No City funding will be required until it has <br />been approved by the State and then will be asked for in the 1991- <br />92 budget. Total cost for this project is estimated at $137,682.60 <br />of which the City would pay one half C~6B,841.30). I believe that <br />this would be a benefit to the Little Cedar Bayou nature area as <br />well as slow the erosion process at the park. <br />Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to <br />contact me. <br />
