SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
In October 2012, the La Porte Development Corporation Board of Directors was approached by
Intergulf Corporation to consider an incentive for a proposed headquarters building on the west
side of SH 146 between C and D Streets. The company requested an incentive amount of
$500,000 to assist in the construction of drainage and parking lot improvements that would
accommodate future growth for the company. The Board held a public hearing in November and
designated the incentive as a “project” of the Development Corporation Board. At the
conclusion of the 60-day period, no qualified petition in opposition to the project had been
received.
The Board conducted a final meeting on February 12, 2013 and approved funding for the project
in an amount not to exceed $500,000. Pursuant to EDC Bylaws, this item is being presented to
Council for approval, as it is over $15,000.
Action Required by Council:
Consider approval or other action to affirm the La Porte Development Corporation’s approval of
an incentive grant to IntergulfCorporation in an amount not to exceed $500,000.

La Porte, Texas 77571
Re: Intergulf Corporation’s Office Expansion
Dear Ms. Osborne,
I wanted to thank you for your time Monday morningand I’m encouraged to learn that
the City of La Porte has established an economic development program that can provide
incentives to businesses that are considering locatingto La Porte.
As we discussed, we are interested in 1.07 acres of property located on Hwy. 146 S
frontage just south of West C Street. This site serves as an excellent location between
our three facilities and easy access to major highways. Our plan is to build an office /
administration building to support our three facilities. This proposed office building
would be our main headquarters for executives, accounting, administration, human
resources, information technology, middle management, sales, etc. We expect to move
an estimated 36 employeesimmediately from various offices inPasadena, Kemah and La
Porte’s Battleground Industrial District with plans for a 20% employee growth factor.
We are currently working on our finalized budget, but we are planning on a capital
expense in the rangeof $2.0-$2.1 million for the acquisition of the property and the
construction of a two story 14,000 –20,000 square foot building.
The current property size of 1.07 acres will have significant limitations on parking
spaces, fire access and future growth. Adjacent to the south side of the property is a
drainage easement owned by the City of La Porte that measures approximately 80’ x
266’. This propertycould be improved with box culverts and covered to add an
additional 0.49 acres ofproperty thus adding anadditional parking area that wouldsolve
our perceived limitations. This improvement would also benefit the city as itwould no
longer need to maintain a large drainage ditch that is currently experiencing slope failure
and is an eyesore. Additionally, we are concerned that the 1.07 acreproperty could be
impacted by the current slope failure of the drainage ditch causing future foundation
issues. As you can see, this improvement would be beneficial to both Intergulf Corp. and
the City of La Porte.
We would like to ask the City of La Porte’s Economic Development Committee to
consider sellingIntergulf the aforementioned property for approximately 75% of the
estimated value ($3.25 per square foot)and pay for the improvements that includeadding
box culverts, backfilling and paving withasphalt. This would solidify our decision to
purchase this property and move our new office location to the City of La Porte.
We look forward to working with the City of La Porte on our future office building site.
Sincerely,
Bandon Velek

procuring, blending, treating, and processing petroleum,petrochemical secondary
products, and waste streams. Strategically located along the Houston Ship Channel,
Intergulf is actively involved in the petrochemical community and understands the
dynamics involved in this sensitive, highly regulated arena. Formed in 1983, Intergulf
has the experience, financial strength, and conservative management principals needed to
meet the requirements of our customers.
Intergulf operates in two primary business segments: products blending & trading, and
waste & recoverable materials.
Buyers of Petrochemical Co-Products & Cutterstock
Our product segment specializes in petroleum and chemical products blending,
processing, trading, and reclassification. Product sales and procurement activities
extend from the U.S. Gulf Coast to the Central Northeast U.S., West Coast, and
Canada. Products are shipped by rail and tank truck to ourStrang Road facility in
La Porte, Texas or our Bayport Plant in Pasadena, Texas. Products can be
shipped by barge or truck to our leased bulk storage tanks located on the Houston
Ship Channeland our Marine Terminal in La Porte, Texas. Bulk shipments are
made in or out bound by barge, rail, or truck.
Liquid Waste & Recoverable Petroleum Fuels
Intergulf provides liquid waste and recycling services to industrial generators and
marine vessels. In January 1999, the Bayport processing facility was built and
primarily focused on the collection and treatment of liquid waste from marine,
industrial, and petrochemical industries and more specificallymaterials that
contain recoverable amounts of petroleum products for extraction and resale. In
2000, Intergulf expanded services to include non-hazardous wastewater treatment
rd
and disposal for 3party generators pursuant to a permit received from the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This permit was modified in
2011 to include hazardous waste. This fully permitted processing facility accepts
materials from industrial, petrochemical, and transportation related facilities
including waste water, oil emulsions, used oil, sludges, tank bottoms, municipal
sumps/grit traps for road base recycling, and recoverable petroleum product
streams. The Bayport plant is equipped to handle both truck (vacuum, tanker, roll
off, drum) and rail shipments. Intergulf also provides off site waste services and
transportation using our fleet of vacuum trucks, tanker trucks, and drum
transports.
Bayport -Physical Plant
The Bayport facility is situated on 2.5 acres of land located in the Bayport Industrial
Complex, Pasadena, Texas. The facility was constructed in 1999 on virgin property
zoned strictly industrial. All truck handling and material processing operations are
conducted within a sealed concrete containment area designed to eliminate the possibility
of environmental contamination. The Bayport facility is routinely inspected by a variety
of regulatory agencies and has never been cited for a major violation. A closure bond has
been established with the TCEQ in the form of a paid-in trust to cover potential clean up
expenses in the event of facility closure.
The Bayport facility is registered with the U.S. EPA and the Texas Commission for
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) as a used oil processor and transporter. The facility is
permitted by the U.S. Coast Guard as a mobile transfer facility and by the TCEQ as a
non-hazardous industrial waste processing facility. The U.S. EPA has determined that
the Bayport facility is acceptable for the receipt of hazardous substances, pollutants or
contaminants (excluding RCRA hazardous waste) from Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) response actions.
Intergulf’s Bayport facility recovers several thousand barrels of oil/fuel and recovered
products per month that is blended onsite then sold into utility fuel oil, gasoline
blendstock market, and commercial chemical product markets. Residual waste water
rd
generated from the fuel recovery operation and waste water received from 3party
generators is pretreated using a variety of approved methods prior to discharge via
pipeline to Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority (GCA). GCA is a state-chartered
authority created to provide regional waste treatment services to industry. Wastewater

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
During the October 22, 2012, meeting of City Council,public testimony regarding the proposed
apartment project of senior adults called Mariposa at Pecan Park was heard from the developer,
Stuart Shaw of BonnerCarrington. Council directed staff to assist the developer with the
submittal to Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA).
Based upon that directive, the Planning and Zoning Commission, at the regular meeting on
November 15, 2012, directed staff to develop a recommendation to City Council to amend Map
2.1, revitalization areas within the draft Comprehensive Plan 2030, to include undeveloped
property for the proposed Mariposa at Pecan Park apartment project for senior adults along
Canada Road.
Later, City staff met with TDHCA to discuss a road map for what needs to be done by the City to
help developersobtain necessary points towards this development.TDHCA acknowledged that
the Comprehensive Plan Update meets some of the requirements of the Qualified Allocation Plan
(QAP) if adopted before the pre-application deadline (January 08, 2013) because it addresses
appropriate factors for developing a revitalization plan, and it includes a specific target area.
At the December 10, 2012, meeting,City Council approved a support letter for the Mariposa at
Pecan Park apartment project and selected the developmentas the project that most substantially
contributed to the revitalization efforts of the Cityof those proposed. In order to receive
maximum allowed points under the 2013 QAP for revitalization efforts,the City must state this
selection in the form of a resolution (draft attachedas an Exhibit).
Action Required by Council:
Consider approval or other action of a resolution confirmingthat Mariposa at Pecan Park
contributes most significantly to the City’s revitalization efforts of all proposed developments, as
described in the 2013 QAP scoring for the TDHCA.

proposed project in La Porte in the 2013 tax credit application round,Mariposa at Pecan Park is
requesting a construction loan that will allow for the maximum points allowed under the Qualified
Allocation Plan.
Mariposa at Pecan Park will be eligible for a bonus point if the City is able to provide a firm
commitment of the loan before March 1, 2013. The loan amount needed to achieve the maximum
scoring for Mariposa at Pecan Park is $775,000. Exhibit B provides the parameters under which the
loan would be granted.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
In October 2011, Harris County authorized their consultant Entech Civil Engineers to studyflooding
issues in Fairmont Park Sections One and Two resulting from overland flow during extreme rain
events. In October 2012, Harris County informed the City of La Porte that they had been awarded
CDBG IKE Funding to fund Improvements to address these flooding issues. In December 2012,the
City of La Porte received 30% plans for reviewand comment. These improvements consist of
complete reconstruction of paving and drainage along Farrington Boulevard from Fairmont Parkway
to Spencer Highway.The estimated cost of the improvements is approximately $3.2million. Harris
County Pct. 2’s schedule includesadvertising for the project next month and beginning construction
on June 1.
City facilities located within the project area include water main and sanitary sewer main
perpendicular crossovers under Farrington Boulevard. The new larger storm sewer proposed under
Farrington Boulevard conflicts with 15 water line crossings and3sanitary sewer crossings. The
water main crossovers wereconstructed in 1964, and city crews have made a number of repairs to
these same lines over the last 3 years. Staff proposes to replace the existing pipe crossovers within
the roadway limits. The sanitary sewers are in good condition, and staff proposes only to reconstruct
the portions of the sanitary sewer necessary to allow for the construction of the new storm sewer.
At staff’s request, Pct. 2 considered the option of the county’s consultant providing the engineering
design for the city water and sanitary sewer relocations and including the water and sewer relocations
in with the roadway project. The countyconsultant’s preliminary estimate of the work was
approximately $70,000 for design and $470,000 for construction that would be La Porte’s share of
the project cost estimated by the consultant to be $540,000. Staff elected to design the project in-
house and bid theconstruction work for completion ahead of the county’s requested deadline for
construction of June 1.Planning and Engineering Department staff has been rapidly working in
recent weeks to complete the design work. Staff began advertising for construction bids beginning
February 21in order to be able to present the construction contract for City Council consideration at
th
meeting,as required to meet the county’s project schedule.
theMarch 25
Staff estimates that the project will cost approximately$400,000. This expense is not included in the
current budget. City Council recently increased the minimum working capital threshold from 60-
days to 90-days to be consistent with other fundsof the city budget. The Finance Department
estimates that there is now 88days of working capital in the Utility Fund. One optionto fund the
project is to suspend the 90-day working capital goal for the Utility Fund and finance the project out
of that fund, which would reduce the working capital to approximately 70-75 days. A second option
is to utilize the General Fund reserve to finance the project. There is currently $6.1 millionavailable
in the General Fund that could be used for the project, which represents approximately 60days above
the working capitaltarget.
At this time, staff is seeking direction on whether Council desires to move forward with the project
and if the City should pursue this project, whether Council would like to suspend the 90-day reserve
requirement for the Utility Fund to fund the project.
Project Benefits, Liabilities, and Operating Cost:
Benefits:
Harris County Pct 2 proposes to upgrade their storm drainage facilities and concrete road
surface along Farrington Boulevard. The improved storm sewer system will greatly reduce
thepotential for overland flooding into residential structures in portions of Fairmont Park
Sections One and Two. The current roadway condition is poor and requires reconstruction.
Liabilities of Maintaining the Status Quo:
The city utilities are located within Harris County right-of-way and some of these existing
facilities must be relocated in order to allow Harris County to construct the proposed storm
and roadway improvements that will benefit motorists and the local residents.
Operating Costs:
The majority of the relocation work involves the existing water main crossovers. These
mains are 50-years old and have required repair on numerous occasions over the past several
years. Replacing the mains will eliminate need for emergency repairs onthose replaced
segments likely for several decades.
Action Required by Council:
Receive informationonthe proposed Improvements to Farrington Boulevardfrom Fairmont Parkway to
Spencer Highwayand provide direction regarding City of La Porte utility relocations.
