<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Regular Meeting of La Porte City Council <br />November 8, 1993 <br /> <br />Mrs. Jo Redden <br /> <br />"In the November 3rd issue of the Bayshore Sun there was a notice to bidders for <br />the bids for the purchase of the Little Cedar Bayou Nature Trail property. Is the <br />City now accepting bids on the property and does the law allow the property to <br />be sold without voter approval? As you may know, on November 3, 1993 the <br />Texas Parks and Wildlife Department wrote a letter to the City of La Porte <br />stating they were canceling the matching funds grant which they had approved in <br />January of 1993. They stated this action was being taken in fairness to other <br />local governments competing for limited program funds, who were being able to <br />proceed with their projects upon receiving notice of approval. The total project <br />cost was $163,720.00 with the state funding half and the City funding half. <br />These funds would have all been used on the Little Cedar Bayou -Nature Trail. <br />If the land swap that has been suggested does eventually take place, the cost of <br />the waterfront property will be $700,000.00 cost of the new pier would be <br />approximately $200,000.00 and the cost of the necessary amenities will bring the <br />total cost to close to 1 million dollars. The Bayshore Sun stated that there is to <br />be another special election in 1994. Exactly when will this election be and what <br />is the average cost for an election?" <br />
