Dev. Coordinator Department: Administration Report: Resolution: Ordinance: Exhibit: Application Exhibit: Pictures Budset Source of Funds: Enhancement Grant Account Number: 0159892-9931100 Amount Budgeted: $220,903 Amount Requested: $12,380.55 Budgeted Item: YES NO SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Texas Snowbirds Daiquiris and Grill is moving into the old Hoppi's building at 1602 West Main Street in La Porte. In order to have better visibility from the street and improve the look of the building, applicant Melissa Martinez has requested assistance from the enhancement grant program for a new sign. Upon review of the applicant's sign quotes, the lowest bid was Best D Signs, but this bid did not include tax. By adding the sales tax amount of 8.25%, this makes it more expensive than the other bid amount received from Deer Park Signs. At the February 25, 2019, 4B Board meeting, board members were concerned about the enhancement grant program funds being only spent on signage. Staff reached back out to the applicant and inquired about other facade needs. To date, the applicant has made self-funded improvements to the building through painting and new window frames. The application was rejected last month due to the application lacking the required bid from a La Porte local business. The applicant went back out to find a La Porte based bid. Unfortunately, there were no businesses in La Porte who design and construct electronic signage. Coupland Signs submitted a bid to design and construct banners. Staff believes the applicant made a sincere effort to find a La Porte local business bid. Action Required by the La Porte Development Corporation: Approve or take other action as it relates to granting Texas Snowbirds Daiquiris and Grill a facade enhancement grant.

From that conversation staff was given direction that the project was more fitting for an Enhancement Grant. Bryan Springer is consolidating his multiple extermination businesses into one La Porte location, but in order to do that, he needs to make improvements to the Coastal Extermination building at 812 S. 81h Street. Some of these improvements are eligible for reimbursement, some are not. Among the master list provided, $43,010 worth of expenses were determined by staff to be eligible for the grant and included a local business proposal/quote. These include repainting the building, repainting signs, parking lot repairs, new landscaping and irrigation for that landscaping. This makes the applicant eligible for $21,505 in reimbursement. Action Required by the La Porte Development Corporation: Approve or take other action as it relates to a facade enhancement grant application.
