SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
On January 28, 2008 the City of La Porte entered into a Project Cooperation Agreement with the
Texas General Land Office (TGLO) to construct Sylvan Beach Shoreline Protection and Beach Nourishment
Project through the Coastal Erosion Planning and Response Act (CEPRA). The project is expected to cost
$2,525,172, with the TGLO paying $1,400,000 or 55% of the project, and the City of La Porte paying
$1,125,172, or 45% percent of the total estimated cost of the project.
This agreement provides for Harris County to pay one-half of the cost of the City's 45% share of the
project in an amount not to exceed $600,000. If approved, Harris County will send its share of the funding
($600,000) to the City of La Porte within ninety days of execution by Commissioner's Court. This project
will be administered by the Texas General Land Office and the City/County share will be billed to the City
of La Porte, by the Texas General Land Office, at 45% of monthly expenditures.
Staff recommends approval of this cooperative Interlocal Agreement by the City of La Porte and Harris
County to protect the Sylvan Beach Park shoreline from future deterioration and to restore the historic beach to
Sylvan Beach. This project will have a tremendous positive recreational as well as economic impact on our city.
