SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
At the December 8, 2003 meeting Council was briefed on the Sylvan Beach Erosion Protection and
Beach Nourishment Project, which, if approved for construction, is to be jointly funded, by the City of La
Porte, Harris County, and the Texas General Land Office. When completed, this project will restore a beach
to Sylvan Beach Park, and also protect the 2,000-foot shoreline from further erosion. Harris County has
budgeted their necessary share of the construction estimate, $486,435 for the project and the General Land
Office has not committed its funding for Coastal Projects at this point in time. The City of La Porte share is
currently unfunded and is also expected to be $486,435 based on the construction estimate provided by the
design firm, URS.
This Ordinance, if approved by City Council, will position the City to provide its share of funding
for the project, contingent upon approval of an Amended Project Agreement by the City and the General
Land Office. The funding for the City's projected share will come from future Tax Increment Reinvestment
Zone 1 revenues, as is the Harris County share. This is a preliminary step in the process and is not binding
on the City until the General Land Office approves its share of the funding, and the Amended Project
Agreement is presented and approved by the City Council.
Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance. Should the General Land Office not approve their
funding share, or a phased portion of the funding at this time, we are still positioned to move forward when
it does happen. Our permit is good until 2008 so, if state funding does not happen in this biennium, the
project can still be funded in a future year.
Action Required bv Council: *
Consider authorization to amend the FY 2003-2004 budget by appropriating $486,435 from the T.I.R.Z. to
provide for partial funding for the Sylvan Beach Shoreline Protection and Beach Nourishment Project,
contingent upon approval of an Amended Project Agreement with the Texas General Land Office for the
project. >j, JJ, j, r ;..~ td1J:i~
