Porter <br />City of La Porte <br />604 W. Fairmont Parkway <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br /> <br />RE: La Porte 2020 Comprehensive Plan 5-Year Update <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor Porter: <br /> <br />We are pleased to submit the 2005 update to the City of La Porte 2020 Comprehensive Plan. This report was <br />prepared in accordance with Chapter 1 which identifies the Plan as a principal part of the City's overall <br />planning process, involving all facets of the Community and requiring, as a minimum, an update every five <br />years to ensure that it reflects the true vision and direction of the community. <br /> <br />The charter of our committee was to review the Plan in its entirety, update the goals and objectives to reflect <br />progress and accomplishments, identify goals that require attention or recommend some for deletion, and to <br />further recommend any additional goals and objects in keeping with the City's vision as delineated in the <br />Comprehensive Plan itself. Our methodology incorporated a complete review of all the chapters within the <br />Plan, input from the general public, independent analysis by the committee members and information <br />gathered from the various interviews with all Department Directors, including the Main Street Coordinator <br />and Emergency Response personnel. We feel this update reflects viewpoints from a broad spectrum and <br />continues to serve the citizens of La Porte by seeking to preserve the unique quality of life of our City. <br /> <br />Speaking for the Committee, I can say that we welcomed the opportunity to participate in this important task. <br />It provided a forum to express our views and to receive valuable insight on the progress of our City that may <br />have been overlooked had we not taken the time to perform this update. We believe that we faithfully <br />represented the citizens and community leaders on their vision for the future development of the community <br />and hereby recommend this updated addendum as a continuing validation of the La Porte 2020 <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />Betty T. Waters <br />Chairperson <br />
