SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
City Council received a report at the M~ 24, 2004 Council meeting regarding the City's
efforts to obtain the land at the intersection of 4 Street and Tyler for a Northside Park annex to
accommodate a much-needed playground. To date, all the needed land except 4 lots (Lots 21-24,
Block 89) have been purchased. Council agreed to negotiate an Earnest Money Contract with
Mr. Clayton Keeling to purchase the remaining lots. The Earnest Money Contract has been
prepared and signed by Mr. Keeling, so we are ready to move forward with the purchase.
The balance in the Capital Projects account for this project, is $24,996. Mr. Keeling has agreed
on the 2003 HCAD value for the 4 remaining lots at $22,300, so we have enough money to
complete the land purchase at this time. Once the land is purchased, staff will proceed with an
asbestos assessment of the two small (1 bedroom) houses and 1 small outbuilding. If asbestos is
not found, the remaining funds in the account ($2,696) should be sufficient for demolition. If
asbestos is found, 015 contingency funds will have to be expended to complete the project, with
the amount depending on the amount of asbestos to be abated.
Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance authorizing the purchase of the subject
property to complete the parkland acquisition for this project.
Action Required bv Council:
Consider approval of an Ordinance authorizing and approving the purchase of Lots 21-24, Block
89, Town of La Porte, to complete the acquisition of land for the Northside Park Annex.
