-+ City of La Porte <br />Established 1892 <br />TEXAS <br />February 13, 2002 <br />Dr. John Sawyer <br />Superintendent <br />La Porte Independent School District <br />301 E. Fairmont Parkway <br />LaPorte, Texas 77571 <br />Re: Land Acquisition for Relocation of Fire Station <br />Dear Dr. Sawyer: <br />Over the past several months I have expressed the City's interest in purchasing LPISD <br />owned property located approximately 400 ft. east of the southeast comer of the <br />intersection of Spencer Highway and Underwood Road for the possible building of a new <br />fire station. <br />We both agreed in principle that the sale of land to the City for a new station at this <br />location made sense. We also agreed that the City should have the site appraised. <br />On February 2, the voters of La Porte approved bond funds to finance several needed <br />projects including a new fire station. <br />My council is prepared to move forward with acquisition of this property and has <br />authorized me to offer the school district $209,520 for this property based on an appraisal <br />performed by Consolidated Appraisal Services, Inc. The property is approximately <br />1.24 Ac and situated in the W.M. Jones Survey, Abstract 482. <br />I am hopeful you will support this venture and encourage your board to support the City's <br />acquisition of the desired site. <br />I await your reply and wish to thank you for your cooperation on this matter. Please do <br />not hesitate to call upon me if you require additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert T. Herrera <br />City Manager <br />RTH/cns <br />c: Mayor and City Council <br />604 W. Fairmont Pkwy. • La Porte, Texas 77571 • (281) 471-5020 <br />
