CITY OF LA PORTE By: ________________________ Louis R. Rigby Mayor ATTEST: APPROVED: ___________________ __________________________ Patrice Fogarty Clark T. Askins Assistant City Attorney City Secretary REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Agenda Date Requested: October 23, 2017 Appropriation Requested By: Rosalyn Epting Source of Funds: 032 (Park Zone #1) Department: Parks & Recreation Acct Number: Report: X Resolution: Ordinance: Amount Budgeted: $63,000 Exhibits: Quote Amount Requested: $63,000 Exhibits: Budgeted Item: YES NO SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION During budget retreat, staff presented Council with the option to reconstruct all 10 fields at Pecan Park in an attempt to help with the drainage. Athletic Field Specialists met with us on site and presented us with the attached quote. The work would be completed in November, after Sunday Select and Fall Ball is finished. This completion time would be contingent on any weather delays. Athletic Field Specialists is a Buy Board Vendor, so a formal bid process is not required. For the last year, Athletic Field Specialists has been our provider for higher quality red dirt. Also, LPISD uses them to work on the High School Baseball Field, as well as the football fields at Lomax Junior High and La Porte Junior High. Reconstructing all ten (10) field will cost $63,000 and include the following: Remove lips on all fields as needed and replace sod with big roll 419 Bermuda Add red infield dirt and till with existing dirt Laser grade each field Rebuild pitching mounds and sod the area in front of mounds Add infield conditioner to each field Haul away spoils and clean when finished. Staff recommends that the quote is awarded to Athletic Field Specialists. Action Required by Council: Consider approval or other action authorizing staff to accept the quote from Athletic Field Specialists in the amount of $63,000 for reconstructing all 10 fields at Pecan Park.

Alexander, City Manager Date REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Budget Agenda Date Requested: Source of Funds:IT Budget Requested By: Grady Parker Account Number:001-6066-519-2093 Department: Information Technology Amount Budgeted:$218,000 Report: X Resolution: Ordinance: Amount Requested:$199,357 Exhibits: Budgeted Item:YES XNO Exhibits: PCMG Hardware Quotes Exhibits ardware specs per machine model ExhibitsBestBuy Dell 5580________________________ SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Background: The City of La Porte currently utilizes the State of Texas Department of Information (DIR) program to replace computer workstations throughout the City. The City has leased the machines with a ProSupport with a3 years warranty support plan. This allowed the computers to be replaced with newer models every 3 years. Now, we are looking to purchase the machines with ProSupport for 3 years with a2-year extension. This will allow us to replace our new computers every 5 years while keeping the machines under the dell 24/7 warranty level. We replaced136 computers in FY17 under those terms and we will be replacing the remaining 149 computers this year FY18. With the purchase of these remaining 149 computers we will close out our current Dell lease agreement. Dell has partnered with PCMG (aka PCMall Gov) to provide service of purchasing the computers through PCMG. The equipment will be purchased through PCMG utilizing their BuyBoard Contract 498-15. example. You will see that BestBuy is a close match to our Dell specs (i7, 8GB mem, 256GB hard drive) at a cost of $2,520.99. with leveraging our PCMG contract we are able to get the Latitude 5580 (i7, 16GB mem, 500GB hard drive) at a cost of $1,438.50. Both vendors offer a 3 year warranty the difference being BestBuy is a manufacture warranty where the hardware will need to be shipped out and fixed, where Dell the parts or overnighted or repaired onsite with 24 hours. Action Required by Council: Consider and take action to approve the purchase of the computer equipment through PCMG. Approved for City Council Agenda Corby D.

Alexander, City Manager of the City of La Porte, Texas, a municipal corporation. ____________________________________ Notary Public, State of Texas MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Don Pennell, Director of Public Works DATE: September 26, 2017 RE: PARTIAL RIGHT-OF-WAY CLOSURE AT TROON DR/W S STREET INTERSECTION City Staff recently received an application to close a portion of the W S Street Right-of-Way (ROW) (ref. attached Exhibit 1) to allow for the installation of a motor-controlled access gate at the intersection of W S Street and Troon Drive. W S Street is currently Public ROW, while Troon Dr. exists as Private Street within a Private Access Easement, per the attached plat. Per the applicants request, the safety to restrict traffic review of the applicants request, the following items should be considered: Future development of the tract of land immediately to the north of the Retreat at Bay Forest Subdivision (currently Zoned R-1) would be limited due to nature in which the ROW is proposed for closure. o With the gate fully open, there is potential for it to extend into future travel lanes o It would not be feasible to extend W S Street to the west due to inconsistency of the ROW. Access gate increases response time for emergency services/first responders. Existing fire hydrant used to service the neighborhood during emergencies would be located behind access gate. Alternative options: Orient sliding gate to open parallel to ROW/property line, such that gate does not open into ROW/potential future lane(s) of travel; very minimal impact to future development. Install vertically opening gate (ref. attached Exhibit 2); very minimal impact to future development. Given the above listed alternative(s), no hardship has been presented that warrants closure of the ROW, as requested by the applicant, as the only option for achieving the desired result of providing safety and limiting traffic within the Bay Forest Subdivision. Recommendation: Do not close ROW as proposed. Attachments: Bay Forest North Subdivision Plat, Exhibit1, Exhibit 2 W.

Solicitations for bids for the advertised, sealed bid #17021 Annual Concrete Street Repair Project (Small Sections) were opened and read on August 24, 2017. Solicitation requests were advertised on August 3 & August 10 and posted to www.publicpurchase.com (Public Purchase) and the City’s website. Files were accessed by twenty-eight (28) different vendors, with 2 responding. The lowest and best qualifying bid was received from GW Phillips Concrete Construction, Inc. of Houston, Texas in the amount of $383,295.00 Staff’s request, , using rolled-over funds from FY17 and currently budgeted FY18 funds, is for a total allocation equal to $400,000.00 to allow for a construction contingency of approximately 4% of the bid amount. Benefits: The project will address several of the lower rated street segments identified in the 2017 Street Condition Assessment prepared by HDR Engineering. The project will address street repairs and ponding water concerns of the residents. This annual contract establishes unit prices that can be issued on a work order for future identified repairs. The annual unit price contract may be extended one additional year with a mutual agreement of both parties. Liabilities: Deferring the project construction would add to future year maintenance responsibilities. Operating Costs: No new facilities will be added with this project.

Alexander Date REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Budget Agenda Date Requested: October 23, 2017 Source of Funds: Requested By: Don Pennell Account Number: Department: Public Works Amount Budgeted: Report: X Resolution: Ordinance: Amount Requested: Exhibits: OPIS Unleaded gasoline rack report 10-6-17 Budgeted Item: YES NO Exhibits: Exhibits SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Background: Bid # 17024 for the annual contract for bulk fuel was opened and read on August 22, 2017. The price of fuel for both regular unleaded and diesel is calculated on the daily price listed on the Oil Price Information Service Index (OPIS) report for Houston, Texas, The OPIS lists wholesale pricing from the low, high and average racks (producer truck loading rack). In the bid, pricing was requested for plus, flat or minus the low rack price. During the evaluation of the bids, staff learned from several different bidders that the low rack fuel supply is not always available in the Houston area and on any given day may not be available. The City has recently been unable to obtain low rack fuel partially due to our storage capacity and limited time before we would run out of fuel. Since the availability of the low rack is uncertain, staff is recommending to reject current bids and to re- bid the bulk fuel using the rack average which is available daily. Apache Oil, the city’s current supplier for fuel has agreed to extend the current contract on a month to month basis until the new contract is awarded. Action Required by Council: Consider approval or other action to reject all bids for Bid# 17024 for Bulk Fuel Supply. Approved for City Council Agenda Corby D.

The subject site is currently identified in the City’s adopted Future Land Use Map as “Commercial” use. The proposed use requires an amendment to the city’s Future Land Use Plan to “Light Industrial,” which is also presented on this agenda.

Cypressbrook has the tracts referenced above under contract for purchase and we are working for a local trucking company to develop it as a commercial trucking transfer facility. The following information is provided to justify or outline our request: 1. The development is anticipated to include an approximately 10,000 square foot truck transfer facility with the following attributes: 7 dock high truck transfer bays designed to face away from the street and accommodate truck maneuvering away from the street and visually screened from the street view; Parking sufficient to meet current code requirements; th On site detention to meet engineering requirements that will outfall into the 16 Street storm system; th Water and sanitary sewer utilities available in the 16 Street ROW sufficient for the development; th Ingress/egress drive on 16 Street sufficient to meet current requirements; and Ability to expand to the north in the future to meet future anticipated growth needs. 2. The adjacent property uses are as follows: to the west- Light Industrial, to the south Planned Unit Development, to the north General Commercial and to the east General Commercial;; 3. NAICS Code 484110 is appropriate for the site; Letter of Interest in Closing- City of La Porte, June 6, 2017, Page 2 of 2 4. Numerous tracts within blocks of the site are either Light Industrial or Heavy Industrial including the Bayport Industrial District; 5. The site is on 16th Street which is designated as a High Frequency Truck Route; and 6. The site contains other property designated as 60È ROW for 15th Street as well as two 15È alleys and we have not only begun abandonment and closure through the Street and Alley Closure (SAC) process but have already received ÅNo ObjectionÆ letters from the required utility providers and; 7.

Alexander Account Number: N/A Department: City Manager Amount Budgeted: N/A Report Resolution: Ordinance: Amount Requested: N/A Exhibit: Map Recorded Plat Budgeted Item: YES NO Sample Record Plat SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION As Council is aware, Mr. Drew Adams has come to City Council on a number of occasion to complain of a gate that has been erected at the entrance to a narrow strip located between lots 3 and 4 of the Crescent View subdivision. The initial complaint was that this fence was in a City ROW. Upon examining the original 1926 plat for the subdivision, the City Attorney has determined that the real estate between lots 3 and 4 is not a City ROW. First, the language in the plat dedicates Crescent Avenue “to exclusive use of the present and future owners of the lots shown hereon”, as opposed to the public (the plat is attached to this agenda item). Second, the strip between lots 3 and 4 is not labeled on the plat as a street or alley, and unlike Crescent Avenue, the surface of the strip has never been improved or maintained by the City as a street, thoroughfare, or pedestrian pathway. The Crescent View plat language is very different from typical verbiage contained in plats used to dedicate streets and alleys to the public. Also attached is sample plat which clearly dedicates streets and alleys to the public (i.e. the City). The latter plat specifically assigns “ownership” to the Public. The Crescent View plat does not. A follow-up title search, recently completed, did not reveal any other plats, easements, or deeds dedicating or conveying the strip between lots 3 and 4 to the public. The gate was erected without a permit. The gate has been allowed to stay in place as long as it remains open allowing access to the rest of the neighborhood. This accommodation was made in attempt to be fair to both sides and allow time to resolve the issue. The owner of lot 4 has made application for a permit, claiming adverse possession rights to the property against the other subdivision owners. Due to these unresolved issues, the City has not issued the permit. Mr. Adams has correctly stated that the City has a sanitary sewer line located under the surface of the strip between lots 3 and 4. This line services lots 3 and 4 and was installed at least 60 years ago. Staff has been unable to locate an easement for the referenced sanitary sewer. The City Attorney believes the fact that the line has been in place for so long entitles the City to a prescriptive easement (a public easement gained by uncontested use on private property for at least 10 years), but only as to the use of the sewer lines, and only for use below the surface. He does not believe that a prescriptive easement for subsurface use gives the city a prescriptive easement for use of the surface as a ROW, where the surface has never been used or maintained by the City for any purpose. This line has been slip-lined within the past 2 years by the City as part of routine maintenance. When performing maintenance on any City utility, we typically do not look to ensure written easements are in place. Action Required by Council: Discussion and or other action gate/fence erected between lots 3 and 4 of the Crescent View subdivision. Approved for City Council Agenda Corby D.

Alexander Account Number: N/A Department: City Manager Amount Budgeted: N/A Report Resolution: Ordinance: Amount Requested: N/A Exhibit: MUD Fact Sheet Draft Land Plan Budgeted Item: YES NO Sample petition to create an in-city-MUD SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The City has been approached Gromax Development and Beazer Home to consider creating an in-city municipal utility district (MUD). MUD’s are political subdivisions of the state, but they require the City’s consent to be created. Once created the MUD would levy an ad valorem tax on all properties located within the MUD. In this case, the requested MUD includes 234 acres of real estate currently owned by PPG on the west side of Bay Area Blvd (north of Fairmont and south of Spencer). PPG property on the eastside of Bay Area is not included in this request for consideration. The tax would be used to reimburse the developer for certain infrastructure costs, including streets, water, sewer, and drainage related infrastructure. Taxes for property owner outside of the MUD would not be impacted. The MUD differs from the TIRZ (that we are more familiar with) in that he City is able to collect taxes associated with the increased value of the development from day one. The property owner in the MUD would pay the standard City tax, but would also pay an additional tax to the MUD allowing the City to collect on any new value from day one. In a TIRZ, the City would not receive revenue associated with the value increases until the TIRZ expires. Currently, the developer estimates that the total value at completion would be $190,000,000. At the current tax rate, this additional value would add $1.25 million in revenue to the general fund annually. The developer is proposing to building a master planned community to include approximately 700 single family homes, a class-A multi-family development, and a senior living facility. Attached is a draft land plan, the details of which may change slightly as this project comes together. The agenda item is to allow Council the opportunity to begin vetting the merits and possible concerns associated with creating an in-city MUD. Pros: 700 additional roof tops Additional revenue to City’s general fund Potential catalyst for more development Potential for an upscale master plan community Additional amenities within the master planned community (ie: pool, club house, etc) Additional water and sewer customers for the City of La Porte Cons: Additional tax on the property owners within the MUD Demands associated with additional water and sewer service Action Required by Council: Consider approval or other action to create an in-City MUD in the City of La Porte. While Council may take action, this item is intended to primarily be a discussion item. Staff can work with the developer to answer any questions or concerns before final consideration.
