In regard to P129, Lot 29, Block 83 and P134, Lots 26, 27 & 28, Block 83, your letter talks of back taxes and liens and adjudged value. Some of that I understand and other parts I am not as clear on. What I thought we had an understanding of is your letter of August 8th, which lists P129 for $2,500, and P134 for $7,500. In accordance with your letter, we have offered to the City $2,500 and $7,500 respectively. The offers accompanied our August 28th correspondence. I am hoping that staff is recommending to the Audit Committee to these tracks be sold for $2,500 and $7,500 respectively not the $3,500 and $11,300 you talked about in you correspondence of September 9th. In regard t~Lots 11 & 12, Block 84, we have filed our request to have it rezoned with Nick FlOan. If our re-zoning efforts are successful we certainly are interesting in moving forward in purchasing PI33. ~* In regard to S007.

In a related issue, we have a number oflots under contract between Blocks 106 and Block 107. Second Street separates the two blocks; our contracts are contingent upon the City improving Second Street. You had mentioned this was a possibility.

Account Number: Report: Resolution: XX Ordinance: Amount Budgeted: Exhibits: HCAD Map Amount Requested: Exhibits: Property Offer Budgeted Item: YES NO Exhibits: HCAD Appraisal Record SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION On December 2, 1997, property located at 513 N Third Street was offered for public bid via a "Sheriffs Sale". This property was offered because the property owner had not paid taxes on the property for several years. When no one bid on the property, the title to the property reverted to the La Porte Tax Office as Trustee for the City of La Porte, the La Porte Independent School District and Harris COlmty. The property comprises 2 city lots and is approximately 50' by 125', or 6,250 square feet. The property also contained an abandoned house, which was removed by the city on July 29, 1999. The La Porte Tax Office received an offer from Bayou Housing Partners in the amount of $5,000, which is the value of a typical lot in this area. The property is on the Harris County Appraisal District Roll with an appraised value of $14,600. Delinquent Taxes and costs on the property total approximately $14,031 (12 years worth). Since the offer received for the resale is less than either of these values, it requires approval by each of the three taxing entities before the resale can take place. If all three entities approve, the sale will occur with each entity receiving its pro-rata share of the tax distribution. Even though we are reselling this property for less than is due on the property, staff believes the absorption of the loss is necessary to get the property into the hands of a owner who has the intentions to rebuild, care for and maintain the property as well as pay taxes on it in the future. ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCD...: Approve resolution authorizing the resale of the tax properties to Bayou Housing Partners. FUND N/A ACCT NUM: FUNDS AVAILABLE I d. -:3 -()3 DATE
