Proclamation
“National Bike Month in the City of La Porte”
Whereas, the bicycle is an economical, healthy, convenient, and environmentally sound
form of transportation and an excellent tool for recreation and enjoyment of La Porte’s scenic
beauty; and
Whereas, creating a bicycle-friendly community has been shown to improve citizens’ health,
well-being, and quality of life; and improve traffic safety, all while reducing pollution, and
congestion on our streets and roads; and
Whereas, La Porte’s trail system enhances tourism by bringing visitors to our local
restaurants, hotels, retail establishments, and cultural and scenic attractions; thereby
providing economic, health, transportation, tourism, and scenic benefits; and
Whereas, in addition to its scenic beauty, La Porte’s sixteen mile Hike and Bike Trail system
has also been regionally recognized by HGACs “Mobility Now” TV series for its safe design
as a system largely segregated from vehicular traffic while still connecting neighborhoods
to schools, parks, beaches and employment centers.
Whereas, the City of La Porte, Texas, the League of American Bicyclists, area schools,
parks and recreation departments, public health districts, hospitals, companies and civic
groups are promoting bicycling during the month of May 2016; and
Whereas, these groups are also promoting greater public awareness of bicycle operation
and safety education in an effort to reduce collisions, injuries, and fatalities and improve
health and safety for everyone on the road;
Now therefore, I, Louis Rigby, Mayor of the City of La Porte, do hereby proclaim May 2016
th
as National Bike Month, and declare that Friday, May 27 is Bike to Work Day in La Porte.
In Witness Whereof: I have hereto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City to be affixed
rd
hereto, this the 23 day of May 2016.

Employee of the 1 Quarter 2016
Christopher Sandoval
Officer Christopher Sandoval joined the City of La Porte team in February 2007 and is currently
assigned to the Patrol division evening shift. He was previously nominated for Employee of the
Quarter in 2009, and has consistently scored Above Expectations on his annual performance
evaluations.
On the evening of February 11, 2016, Officer Sandoval was dispatched to a welfare concern regarding
an elderly male. While en route to the call, additional information from Precinct 8 indicated the
subject may be attempting to take his own life in his garage. Upon arrival to the scene, Officer
Sandoval observed no vehicles in the driveway and a closed garage door. Placing his ear to the garage
door, he heard what sounded like an idling motor and smelled vehicle exhaust. Moving quickly,
Officer Sandoval made contact
did not know the whereabouts of her husband. Officer Sandoval immediately made entry to the
house and accessed the garage where he found the subject seated in the running vehicle. He
activated the garage door opener to allow fresh air to enter and contacted dispatch to have La Porte
EMS respond. Officer Sandoval made contact with the subject who was lethargic but responsive. La
Porte EMS later confirmed that if not for the actions of Officer Sandoval, the subject would have
succeeded in ending his life.
consistent level of performance and service to the community, are wonderful reflections on the La
Porte Police Department and the entire City of La Porte team. Please join me in recognizing him as
the City of La Porte Employee of the Quarter.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
City Council authorized a design services contract with Cobb Fendley in the amount of $75,585
th
on November 10, 2014 for the design of the D Street and 4 Street Paving and Drainage
improvements (the City used a RFQ process to select Cobb Fendley). Staff provided Council
with a construction estimate equal to $950,000 with the 2014 design services agenda request.
$932,043.
th
Bid #16012 for the D Street & 4 Street Paving and Drainage Improvements was opened and
read on April 12, 2016. The bid was advertised in the Bay Area Observer on March 24 & April
7Thirty-two vendors accessed the bid, and 4
bids were received. G. W. Phillips Concrete Construction submitted the lowest and best total bid
at $874,149.50, which includes the base bid ($858,714.50) Extra Work ($1,860) and Alternate
Bid Items ($13,575).
The Extra Work Items are typical construction materials (cement stabilized sand and reinforced
-
Alternate Bid Items will address where needed the following: Where there are trees or bushes in
or at the edge of the right of way conflicting with sidewalk constructionill be
consulted as the project progresses, and a sound and reasonable decision will be made in
reference to removal, relocating, replacing and in some cases routing the sidewalk around the
existing tree or bush with crushed granite pavingStaff believe the tree/bush alternate is the best
quality
the contractor for a one year period.
rd
The design and construction of this project is similar in nature to the reconstruction of 3 Street
in 2014.
Contingency: Staff is requesting a $43,708 contingency equal to 5.0%.
Materials Testing: Tolunay-Wong Engineers, Inc. submitted a price proposal for subgrade and
concrete testing in the amount of $14,185. As professional engineers, Tolunay-Wong Engineers,
Inc. falls within the purchasing category of Professional Services. Procurement of this firm was
rd
conducted via separate RFQ process as part of the 3Street project.
Final Project Cost: $874,149.50 total bid + $43,708.00 contingency + $14,185.00 materials
testing = $932,042.50.
Benefits:
The project will address several of the lowest rated concrete street segments identified in the
2013 comprehensive street inspection report.
Liabilities:
Deferring the project construction would add to future year maintenance responsibilities unless
substituted with a like project. The streets included in this project were constructed over 60-
years ago. Two-thirds of the C, with an estimated value of over $75-million
for roadway pavement alone, were constructed more than 40-years ago.
Operating Costs:
Slight decrease in operating/maintenance costs.
Action Required by Council:
Consider approval or other action to award Bid #16012 to G.W. Phillips Concrete Construction,
th
for the improvement of sections of D Street and 4 Street and authorize the City Manager to
enter into a construction contract in the amount of $879,149.50 with a total project funding
allocation equal to $932,042.50 including a $43,708 construction contingency and materials
testing expense of $14,185.

COST ESTIMATE & GENERAL NOTES
In this section of the proposal you will find our cost estimate. Additional services or tests requested and not
specifically addressed in Section III of this proposal will be invoiced per the standard fees set forth in our 2016 Fee
Schedule.
Based on information provided to us at this time and an estimated construction schedule, we have established
what we believe is the most realistic cost estimate for this project. Please remember that the units stated are only
an estimate. Due to factors beyond our control such as weather, unforeseen conditions, subcontractor expertise,
subcontractor scheduling, etc., the cost of our services may vary from the estimated amount.
We estimate the cost of the construction materials testing for our proposed Scope of Services will be $14,185.00
as detailed in the following section, although all services will be invoiced on a time and materials basis.
A minimum 4-hour labor equivalent charge is applicable for all field testing and inspection services. Overtime rates
for field personnel are applicable for all hours worked in excess of 8 hours per day, weekends, and holidays and are
assessed at 1.5 times the standard rates. All field hours will be charged portal to portal from our laboratory
facility. All sample pick-ups will be charged travel time from portal to portal and will include associated vehicle
charges. Engineering consultation and evaluation in connection with any laboratory testing service will be charged
at a rate of approximately one hour for each 20 hours of field work performed.
Our prices include copies of the reports distributed via e-mail in accordance with your instructions. Additional
copies can be mailed at $0.50 per page. Direct expenses incurred in connection with the project will be invoiced at
cost plus 15% for handling. Travel and lodging expenses for out of town assignments will be invoiced at cost plus
15% or $150.00 per day, whichever is greater. Our terms are net 30 days upon receipt of invoice. Invoices will be
submitted on a monthly basis.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
In 2008, the City began utilizing a State of Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) contract
with Dell Computers to replace computer workstations throughout the City, including desktops and
laptops. The City entered into a three-year lease agreement with Dell for the computer replacement
program. The lease agreement provides the City with continued customer support and maintenance
work, when needed. City Council first approved use of the DIR contract for this project on November
10, 2008. The cost may vary each year depending on the required level of specialty for each computer
(Ex: Engineering, Police laptops, etc.). This lease would replace 68 computers or roughly 26%of the
The original lease agreement with Dell was for a term of 3 years. (See the Exhibits for a copy of the
Master Lease Agreement). Dell has partnered with PCM Gov to provide leasing and financial services,
as in the past, the three installments will be paid to Dell Financial Services. The equipment will be
purchased through PCM Gov utilizing their BuyBoad contract 498-15.
The yearly payment will be $29,488.64 for a total lease payment of $88,465.92 over the 3-year term,
for this portion of the computer fleet (See the Exhibits for a copy of the Dell Financial Services Lease
Proposal).
Action Required by Council:
Consider approval or other action of a three (3) year lease agreement with Dell Financial Services for computer
equipment through PCM Gov.

I hereby certify that I have personally inspected the property described via a
street inspection and that all data gathered by my investigation is from
sources believed reliable and true. In preparing this Restricted Appraisal, a
study of comparable sales and other related market data was performed.
.....Page 2 Continued......
It should clearly be understood that this letter only constitutes only a
statement of the final value and that does not presume to be the complete
analysis of the subject property nor a complete appraisal format and is subject
to the preparation of a detailed appraisal report.
The market values in the subject neighborhood appear to vary generally from
+-$2.00 PSF to over $6.00 PSF for tracts generally similar to the subject
property with locations that range from primary to secondary type roadways.
The area has general access public utilities. The subject site appears to be
generally flat and level. The subject property is not located in the 100 year
flood plain. The Highest and Best Use of the subject property is determined to
be for use as an alleyways and street right of ways or for use by adjacent
property owners due to its configuration. Adjacent property uses are
commercial and special purpose in nature. The immediately surrounding
property of the subject lots is currently used as a church facility. The client
and intended user of this appraisal is the City of La Porte only. The intended
use is to estimate the current market value of the subject property of this
analysis as described above for use in right of way abandonment procedures.
There has been no transfer of the subject property noted for the past 36
months per appraisal district records. The effective date of the appraisal is
April 10, 2016. The new effective date of the report is April 13, 2016. The
estimated exposure time is up to 24 months.
After a review of the comparable sales it is my opinion the estimated unit
value range of between PSF would be placed on the
$2.00 PSF to $4.00
subject property with a mid-range value of being indicated for the
$3.00 PSF
subject property before any discounting. Therefore the unit market value of
the subject tract is estimated at
$3.00 PSF which is based on 100% fee
simple ownership with no discounting applied.

RE: Restricted Appraisal regarding the estimated of a portion
Market Value
of the unopened East "A" Street right of way at Donaldson Avenue, La
Porte, Harris County, Texas.
Dear Sirs:
In accordance with your request, I have inspected the following described
property for the purpose of estimating the following described
Market Value
property as of the date of this Restricted Appraisal. As per our agreement, the
data and analysis is presented in an abbreviated Restricted Appraisal format
and is not intended to contain the full analysis.
BRIEF LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Known as portion of the unopened East "A" Street right of way adjoining the
north west line of Donaldson Avenue between Block 85 and Block 76, Bayfront
to La Porte, Harris County, Texas. (See site plan in addenda).
I hereby certify that I have personally inspected the property described via a
street inspection and that all data gathered by my investigation is from
sources believed reliable and true. In preparing this Restricted Appraisal, a
study of comparable sales and other related market data was performed.
.....Page 2 Continued......
It should clearly be understood that this letter only constitutes only a
statement of the final value and that does not presume to be the complete
analysis of the subject property nor a complete appraisal format and is subject
to the preparation of a detailed appraisal report.
Sales of generally similar properties in the subject neighborhood were
researched that had locations that range from primary to secondary type
roadways. The subject's market area generally has access public utilities. The
subject site appears to be generally flat and level and is not located in the 100
year flood plain. The Highest and Best Use of the subject property is
determined to be for use a street right of way or for use by adjacent property
owners due to its configuration. Adjacent property uses on the north, east and
west boundaries of the subject property are single family detached houses.
The client and intended user of this appraisal is the City of La Porte only. The
intended use is to estimate the current market value of the subject property of
this analysis as described above for use in street abandonment procedures.
There has been no transfer of the subject property noted for the past 36
months per appraisal district records. The effective date of the appraisal and
original inspection is November 23, 2015. The new effective date of the report
is January 28, 2016. The estimated exposure time is up to 24 months.
A unit value range of between $1.62 PSF to $2.03 PSF was noted from the
comparable lot sales before any adjustments were made. All of the comparable
lot sales were effectively unimproved lots with frontage and access on paved
public streets. These sales were considered superior to the subject property
due to the subject property and were adjusted downward for this aspect. After
adjustments, it is my opinion the estimated unit value range for the subject
property would be between with an estimated mid-
$1.22 PSF to $1.53 PSF
range value of before any additional discounting by the City.
$1.35 PSF
Therefore the unit market value of the subject tract is estimated at
$1.35 PSF
which is based on 100% fee simple ownership with no discounting
applied.

P&Z Recommendation Letter
_____________________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Section 106-65 (Zoning) of the C
Commission is to conduct a regular comprehensive review of Chapter 106. The Planning and Zoning
Commission took up this item at the April 21, 2016 meeting and is presenting the attached ordinance
to the City Council for consideration. The proposed ordinances includes those modifications
recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission and are intended to address some items that
may need additional clarification, or were omitted from the comprehensive modifications made to the
Zoning Ordinance in 2014.
Attached is the draft version of the proposed modifications to the Zoning Ordinance
version as well as hose areas
highlighted in yellow indicate new language as part of the proposed modification to Chapter 106.
The strike- indicate where language is proposed to be removed. The following is a
summary of the proposed modifications:
Section 1 (106-145):
1.The modifications here are to allow the C
for revoking a zoning permit, as currently none exists.
Section 2 (106-171):
2.The provisions of s
amendment to be forwarded to the City Council within 30 days as opposed to 15 days. Given
findings to the City Council.
Section 3 (106-191):
3.A minor modification was made to the C
clarifying that any building, whether primary or accessory, is required to seek approval of a
Special Exception to reconstruct or add to a nonconforming structure. Previously the
language was not clear as to what buildings are addressed.
Section 4 (106-264):
4.Clarification of the NAICS code as opposed to the SIC code.
Section 5 (106-301):
5.The proposed modifications here have been implemented per previous direction of City
Council and are simply being codified. Language is now standard in rezoning ordinances
approved by the City Council that states the approval of the ordinance hereby authorizes the
City staff to modify the Official Zoning Map in accordance with said action by Council.
Official copies of the Official Zoning Map are still signed by the Mayor and City Secretary
following each zone change or map amendment.
Section 6 (106-310):
6.There are a number of different modifications to different land use categories:
a.
as a permitted use. The recommendation here is to only allow such use in the GC
district if approved as a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP).
b.
business in hopes of circumventing the C
warehouse/distribution facilities (NAICS 493), which are only permitted in the LI
and HI zone districts and only when immediately adjacent to a high frequency truck
road. The recommendation is to allow NAICS 4885 uses in GC, BI, LI and HI if the
uses are office-only and to limit facilities that function more like warehouses to LI
and HI and only on a high frequency truck road.
c.NAICS category 624410 for only child care services has been added allowing child
care services in all commercial and industrial districts, except the Mixed Use District.
d.Automotive repair facilities under NAICS category 8111 has been revised to restrict
truck repair to only industrial zone districts.
e.NAICS category 814 for private households has been removed as they are permitted
in the MS district under the MS provisions.
Section 7 (106-308):
7.A clarification has been made to the way zone district boundaries are interpreted when a
property is bisected by a boundary line. Clarification has been added to this section to
indicate that this means of interpreting the boundary lines only applies to existing scenarios
and not in circumstances where a property owner consolidates lots.
Section 8 (106-699):
8.Minor clarification made to require PUD development to buffer and screen LL zoned
properties, which was previously omitted.
Section 9 (106-746):
9.Clarification proposed here to allow overnight parking of heavy trucks within the city limits
in industrial zoned districts, as trucks are already doing so. This was a new section in the
most recent modifications of the code, but industrial zone districts were left out of the
requirements.
Section 10 (106-771):
10.Minor clarification to certain encroachments that can be made for residential structures. The
code previously only allowed encroachments into the yard, which is defined as that portion
from the wall of the structure to the property line. This is more restrictive in many instances
than allowing those encroachments into the setback line. Setbacks are established to separate
uses/structures. However, in some cases where stairways or patios do not encroach into the
front setback but are within the front yard, they will not encroach on adjacent properties.
Section 11 (106-835):
11.Clarification was provided that requires accessible parking stalls to be in accordance with
ADA and Texas Accessibility Standards.
Section 12 (106-892):
12.Clarified HI, LI and BI zone districts instead of H-1, B-1, and L-1.
Section 13 (106-928):
13.Masonry standards were not included in the ordinance that was approved by the City
Council. This section requires Tier 2 buildings to include 50% of the masonry material as
brick or stone and Tier 3 buildings are required to include 20% brick or stone.
14.Language was added to require gas stations in all tiers to include brick or stone on the canopy
Section 106-171 of the C
notification of a public hearing. Notification was provided in accordance with applicable
requirements, including notification of the public hearing in the Bay Area Observer 15 days prior to
the scheduled public hearing. Additionally, the public hearing was posted at City Hall and on the
C
The Planning Commission unanimously
Zoning Ordinance, as outlined in the attached ordinance.
Action Required by Council:
1.Conduct public hearing.
2.Consider approval or other action on a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission
to approve an ordinance amending 106 ZoningCode of Ordinances of the City of La Porte
by amending provisions related to zoning permits; amendment procedures; special exceptions;
notification of conforming status; official zoning map; commercial and industrial uses; location of
heavy truck uses; interpretation of zoning district boundaries; yard requirements; parking design
standards; development of towers; and building design standards.
