SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
When the decision was made to move Fire Station Two west from its present location to improve
response time to the area of Brookglen Subdivision, Fire Dept. Staff started searching for a
suitable location. We approached LPISD about possibly selling a parcel ofland from the Baker
School site. This site has 300 feet of frontage on Spencer Highway and is 180 feet in depth and
is the area where the unused tennis courts are. The City has had the land appraised, which is
$209,520.00. The decision was made to attempt to purchase this site if the Bond Proposal to
build a new Station Two was approved by the voters. The LPISD School Board has approved
the sale of the property to the City of La Porte for the appraised value.
Action Required bv Council:
Approve an ordinance for the purchase of the requested site from LPISD in the amount of Two Hundred
and Nine Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Dollars (209,520.00). .

Re: Land Acquisition for Relocation of Fire Station
. Dear Dr. Sawyer:
::. ......
Over the past several months I have expressed the City's interest in purchasing LPISD
owned property located approximately 400 ft. east of the southeast comer of the
intersection of Spencer Highway and Underwood Road for the possible building of a new
fIre station.
We both agreed in principle that the sale of land to the City for a new station at this
location made sense. We also agreed that the City should have the site appraised.
On February 2, the voters of La Porte approved bond funds to finance several needed
projects including a new fire station.
My council is prepared to move forward with acquisition of this property and has
authorized. me to offer the school district $209;520 tor this property based on an appraisal
performed by Consolidated Appraisal Services, Inc. The property is app~oximately
1.24 Ac and situated in the W.M. Jones Survey, Abstract 482.
I am hopeful you will support this venture and encourage your board to support the City's
acquisition of the desired site. .
I await your reply and wish to thank you for your cooperation on this matter. Please do
not hesitate to call upon me if you require additional information.
Sincerely,
GoW T \-\~
