included that amount as the City's contribution to the Project in the attached Agreement. The
additional $10,000 is available in the General Capital Improvement Fund contingency.

agreement between the City of La Porte and Harris County for the installation of a traffic signal,
and authorize the payment of $20,000 to the County, with $10,000 from the original budget and
