SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
City Council approved a new contract with the Port of Houston Authority -Barbour' Cut Terminal for Emergency
Medical Service at the November 14, 2005 council meeting for a contract term of twenty-one months, in the amount
of $2, 175.00 monthly. The ordinance authorized the City Manager to execute a contract starting on January 1, 2006
and ending on September 30, 2007.
The approved contract was then submitted to the PHA for Commissioner approval and was denied on the basis that
the PHA does not approve multi-year contracts with annual update provisions.
The revised contract reflects a contractual term starting on January I, 2006 and ending on September 30, 2006. This
revision will allow the City of La Porte to make annual update provisions as needed based on Average Daily
Populations.
