SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Prior correspondence to Council and the TIRZ/Redevelopment Authority noted that the developer of Lakes at Fairmont Greens
could not secure financing for the development because of significant up front costs associated with the trunk sewer and lift
station, even though the TlRZ/ Authority could eventually reimburse the developer. With this cost center removed, the
developer was able to secure financing. During 05-06 budget preparation, Council approved $645,000 for the construction of
the trunk sewer and lift station based on the understanding that the TIRZ/ Authority would reimburse the City from future
increment.
This agreement is a Utility Extension Agreement (UEA) that establishes the City's oversight and control over the design and
construction of the trunk sewer and lift station. The design and construction contracts would be let/owned by the developer
with the City issuing joint checks to the developer/designer or engineer and developer/contractor as certain approvals and
milestones are met.
New cost estimates are being prepared by the developer's engineers. The agreements provide for the possibility that the
bids may exceed budgeted funds (see Section 8 of the UEA).
The TlRZ/ Authority approved this agreement at the May 24 meeting.
The developer has approved and signed the agreement.
Action Reauired bv Council:
Consider approval of Ordinance 2006-_ authorizing a Utility Extension Agreement between the City of La Porte, TIRZ #1,
La Porte Redevelopment Authority and 65 La Porte, Ltd.
