Gillett, City Secretary 3-- ) POLLING LOCATION REPORT INTRODUCTION The City of La Porte currently has seven (7) polling locations throughout the City. Citizens vote in their district for City Elections. The City Secretary was approached by two Councilmembers to research the possibility of reducing the number of polling places due to voter confusion, and the City Manager requested the City Secretary to look into this matter. Outlined in this report is an analysis of the research and the costs associated with polling locations. RESEARCH ANALYSIS, CURRENT PRACTICES AND CONCERNS In researching this matter, several phone calls were made to other Cities. It was determined other City's have been faced with similar problems. An example of two cities making polling location changes is the City of Baytown and the City of Friendswood. Baytown reduced its number of polling locations from over twenty-five to thirteen. The City of Friendswood reduced its number of polling locations from six to two. Both cities indicated it improved the election process and the only disadvantage was the voter might be required to stand in line during busy periods. Since coming to work for the City of La Porte, the current City Secretary Martha Gillett has managed five (5) elections. During all five elections, citizens have experienced the same problems regarding confusion on where citizens are required to vote. The confusion arises due to the City districts having different boundaries than Harris County Precincts and County precincts frequently change. When citizens vote in non -city elections, they vote at various locations according to their Harris County Precinct number as indicated on their voter registration card. When citizens vote in City elections, they are required to vote in their City district. Too further add to the confusion, the locations are often different and several Harris County Precincts fall within different City districts (see Exhibit A). As a result, voters become extremely frustrated and sometimes leave the polls without casting a vote. This past election, we placed signs at each polling location prior to and on Election Day. This was a tremendous help, but if the voter does not know their City district they still are not sure where to vote. The Bayshore Sun also ran articles addressing this problem and encouraging voters to call City Hall if they were not certain where to vote. However, not everyone reads the paper so you still have a large percentage of confused voters. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS After researching this matter, a recommended solution could be to reduce the number of polling locations to one (1), two (2) or three (3). One (1) polling location would totally eliminate any confusion to the voters. Voters would know they always go to the same location to vote. However, this may cause waiting lines and no single location would be convenient to all voters throughout the City of La Porte due to the geographic size. Two (2) locations would reduce the confusion to a minimal level and maintain a more balanced travel distance for the voter. Three (3) locations would be better than seven (7) and may still cause some confusion in the beginning. 3 �a- ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES ADVANTAGES • Voter Convenience/Improved Customer Service • Cost Savings (See Exhibit B) • Reduction in Margin of Error DISADVANTAGES • Change Can Be Difficult • Requires Justice Department Approval • Possible Increased Travel Distance to Polling Place • Increased Voters Per Polling Location In order to change polling locations, the following steps would need to take place: • City Council Approval • Preclearance From Justice Department (75 day process) • Coordination With School and College District • Compliance With Election Laws If the Council wants to make this type of change, clearance submission to the Justice Department would need to be submitted at least 75 days prior to passing an Ordinance calling the election. The Secretary of State's Office was contacted and the City would not be required to seek approval from that office per Section 42.061 of the Election Code. City's have the authority to set polling locations. The City Attorney also provided a recommendation on this matter (see Exhibit C) . POSSIBLE POLLING LOCATIONS Three Polling Location Options City Hall - Districts 5 and 6 DeWalt - Districts 1 and 4 Lomax - Districts 1 and 4 Baker - Districts 2, 3 and 7 Two Polling Location Options City Hall - Districts4, 5and6 DeWalt - Districts 4, 5 and 6 Recreation Fitness Center Training Room - Districts 4, 5 and 6 3 --3 Fairmont Recreation Center - Districts 1, 2, 3 and 7 Lomax Elementary - Districts 1, 2, 3 and 7 Baker Junior High - Districts 1, 2, 3 and 7 One Polling Location Options City Hall - All Districts Recreation Fitness Center Training Room - All Districts Sylvan Beach Pavilion - All Districts Baker Junior High - All Districts SUMMARY In summary, as you can see this is a complex issue which causes the voters much confusion on where to vote on Election Day. There are multiple options for the make -up of locations and districts for polling location purposes. The City Secretary's Office is willing to implement any changes the City Council desires. 34 EXHIBIT A • CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS HARRIS COUNTY PRECINCTS IN EACH DISTRICT DISTRICT 1 471, 682 DISTRICT 2 352, 682 DISTRICT 3 290, 682 DISTRICT 4 88, 290, 561 DISTRICT 5 88, 377 DISTRICT 6 88, 290, 377, 561, 682 DISTRICT 7 51, 665 • VOTER REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE dame • � :. �„' �.

G<1l4*• 412.51T1 akvA Mr. Robert T. Herrera City Manager City of La Porte City Hall La Porte, Texas Re: City Council Re- Districting /Census 2000 Dear Mr. Herrera: You have asked me to furnish you a letter on the procedure to be followed for City Council re- districting following the federal census which will be conducted in April, 2000, and, also on the question of possibly reducing the number of polling places. Six City Councilpersons are elected from single member districts. Article 2.01(b), "Formation of Districts ", of the Home Rule Charter of the City of La Porte, provides that City Council shall divide the City into six districts which are reasonably compact, contiguous and of as nearly equal population as practicable. Immediately following the publication of the 2000 federal census, which I would anticipate will occur sometime during the year 2001, City Council is required to conduct an investigation and determine the population of the City and the population of each of the districts from which district Councilpersons are to be elected. Such determination shall be based upon the best available data, including, but not limited to, the most recent federal census. Council then passes an ordinance, which makes a final determination of the population. After such determination by City Council, if the distribution of population among the various districts is determined by City Council to be materially unbalanced, the City Council shall establish new boundaries for the election of district Council - persons. Following the 1980 and 1990 federal censuses, the City Council made its determination, and then appointed a citizens committee to study the matter, hold public meetings, receive public input, and recommend to City Council, a plan for re- districting, again, dividing the City into six districts which are "reasonably compact, contiguous and of as nearly equal population as practicable ". 3 -'7 ASKINS & ARMSTRONG, P. C. ATTORNEYS AT LAW Robert T. Herrera June 22, 1999 Page 2 Thereafter, the City Council holds a public hearing on the proposed plan, and, when adopted by City Council, the new plan must be filed with the Voting Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, for preclearance under the Voting Rights Act of 1964, as amended. A full brief must be filed with the Justice Department, reflecting the census; the population determination; the findings of the City's citizens committee, together with the evidence upon which the findings were based; and evidence of the opportunities which were given for citizen participation in the proceedings. Based on past experience, this is a complex procedure, and hopefully can be put in place in time for the 2002 election of City Councilpersons. You have asked the related question of the possibility of reducing the number of polling places. Presently, a district polling place is open on election day and runoff election day, if necessary, in each of the respective districts. Absentee voting for all elections is conducted at City Hall. Due to historic low voter turnout at some of the districts, and the difficulty in obtaining the election judges and clerks required by state law at each polling place, the question has been raised as to whether the number of polling places might be reduced. I would suggest that this proposition be presented to the City's citizens committee for its consideration, and made a part of its deliberations and recommendations to City Council. Should the recommendation be made that districts be consolidated for election purposes, the City would have to make a showing to the Justice Department that such consolidation will not unduly impede or inconvenience the ability of voters to exercise their right to vote. Finally, it is my recollection that in the past, the City has had input in the planning stages of the federal census, encouraging federal census officials to make reference to the boundary lines for the six Council districts, in establishing its census tracts. If this could be done, it would make the determination of existing population as of the year 2000, more convenient. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Y� ery truly, Knox W.

KORNEGAY Executive Director (713) 670 -2480 - June 30, 1999 JUL G 6 1999 CITY SECRETARY'S The Honorable Norman Malone OFFICE Mayor City of LaPorte CITY r pet P. O. Box 1115 • - d �∎ Houston, TX 77572 -1115 ,/ Dear Mayor Malone: Due to the foresight of Houston's founders and the wise leaders who have followed in their footsteps, Houston has become known for its comprehensive international infrastructure that makes doing business here to be an achievable goal for anyone involve d in global commerce and one which can be profitable for individuals and companies - -large or small. As a result, the citizens and residents of Houston have continued to provide the commercial and transportation infrastructure which has resulted in jobs and prosperity for area residents. The Port of Houston Authority has greatly benefitted from these historical decisions, the strong support of its citizenry, and recent global economic and political changes. The Port of Houston is first in the nation in foreign cargo tonnage and second in the nation in total tonnage. It handles over 65% of the container cargo in the U.S. Gulf. Because the Port Authority is out of capacity at its Barbours Cut Terminal, it is committed to providing additional intermodal facilities to support the future growth in container traffic. For this reason, the Port Authority has proposed to build a facility at the Bayport Industrial Channel on land which it has long held to accommodate its future growth. As you are aware, the Galveston District of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers agreed with the Port Authority's request to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as part of its permitting process. We are certain that this process will facilitate public input and ensure a hard look at the issues arising from a federal decision. We believe that the EIS process will allow for issues of concern to be raised, reviewed and rigorously analyzed. We intend to be open to the results of these analyses and address them in our development of the facility. In addition to the concerns which are identified and addressed in this permitting process, the Port Authority will form a Citizens Advisory Panel to serve in an advisory capacity to the Port Authority in addressing issues of concern. To this end, the Port Authority has hired Mr. John Hall of the Austin firm of John Hall Public Affairs to serve as Chairman of this panel. Your organization is invited to send one representative to participate on this advisory panel. The initial meeting of the citizens advisory panel will be held on Tuesday, July 20 at 6:00 p.m. in the Vinson & Elkins David T. Searls Courtroom and Conference Center, located on the 24th floor of First City Tower, 1001 Fannin. This meeting is intended to be an organizational meeting to: discuss the Port Authority's intent with respect to the purpose of the panel; establish ground rules; set meeting dates; select a location in close proximity to Bayport for future meetings; and discuss other issues that may arise. While we would like for the group to decide on a schedule of meeting dates, we have set a second meeting for 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 3, to allow us to begin work on the issues of concern. Please mail or fax a letter to Rosie Barrera, Director of Pubic Affairs, with the name and address of your organization's choice to serve on this panel. You may fax your letter to 713/670 -2425 or you may mail it to Rosie Barrera, Director of Public Affairs, Port of Houston Authority, P.O. Box 2562; Houston, Texas 77252. Sincerely, / H. T.

Our answers must be considered very carefully and. if possible, reflect group thinking. Personally, I would like to support the opinions of the Council members who represent residents in the south part of the city but at this point I do not have a clue what they think nor have I participated in any organized discussion of what our policy should be. I would urge that this be on the agenda for the coming Council retreat and that the attachment to this letter be adopted. It can be modified if necessary or an entirely new policy that we can all agree upon can be substituted. I think we should use the policy as the basis for negotiating with the Port until the August 17 public meeting is held by the Corps of Engineers at which time this Policy or a revision incorporating mutually agreed upon changes would be read into the public record. This should be done by our City Manager since we will all be occupied in preparing our budget. I want to point out to you that our policy is especially important to me because I use it in my discussions at HGAC and Transportation Policy Council meetings and am very close to getting HGAC and TxDOT to agree to many of the things I have listed in the attachment. In fact, the approach that I have outlined would be a positive step forward in getting. the road improvements mentioned therein approved for early construction. • • Position on Expansion of the Bayport Port to Serve Container Vessels and Cruise Ships City of LaPorte The City recognizes the economic importance of adequate port facilities to Harris County, its adjacent counties, and the entire State of Texas. Similarly, it realizes a responsibility to its residents to protect their well being and quality of life. Its position is tempered by the respect shown over the years to covenants agreed upon between the Port and a neighboring city as well as the lack of support shown by various groups and agencies regarding threats to those same well being and quality of life concerns the City expressed regarding a nearby toxic waste incinerator which was allowed to be, and is still permitted for construction. Our background is supportive towards industry as indicated by the favoritism we have shown towards all matters which benefit the organizations which we recognize as providing the financial base for many, if not most, of our residents. This long standing support would apply in this case if it were not for some adverse problems which follow. Inadequate Highway Our previous experience with highway construction influences us here. We note that after it was separated from the overall bridge project, the south approach to the Hartman Bridge was approved for construction only after our legislative initiatives restored its priority and advanced the start of construction two years. This must not be allowed to happen again and the road must be adequate to support truck traffic before container handling begins. We envision an extention of the present six lane SH146 being continued at least to Red Bluff with overpasses at Shoreacres Boulevard and Wharton Weems where our Tax Increment Financing initiative will cause extensive development on the west side of the highway. Three lane access roads should be constructed with a new SH146 exit further north than at present to prevent truck congestion on the main highway. Overpass The Port plans to connect its two container ports by rail which would make automotive delays at the Fairmont Parkway grade crossing, which are already a public nuisance, intolerable. An overpass here should be six lanes to allow for planned road widening. Erosion Control Wave action caused by the greatly increased amount of shipping will cause severe erosion if it is not controlled. We realize that the Port is a responsible organization and assume that sheet piling will be installed on the north side of the Bayport berthing area and are listing this only to record our concern to any action which causes drainage problems or excessive maintenance on City_ of LaPorte or privately owned property. Coordination between the Port and the City is needed to avoid creating areas where ponding would occur. —5Q Public Nuisance Much thought has been given to the effect of noise and lighting which will result from 24 hour operation at the port. This will happen and, applying the experience at Barbours Cut which is further away from nearby housing, some solution other than installing a greenbelt will be necessary. We are open to engineered solutions but the only alternative we are aware of is the solution used by TxDOT which employs a wall to minimize the problem. If this solution is used, a substantial setback must be used to not impede the bay breeze. Air Pollution The federal government has declared Harris County and its surrounding counties a non attainment area and has established a deadline for compliance which all governmental entities acting together are finding it difficult to meet. More trucks, locomotives, and ships will add substantially to this problem and the industry, trade, & governmental groups to which we belong do not have an answer. The City is unable to facilitate a solution to this. however, compliance is a responsibility of the city which must be addressed here. Hotel One of the major points that the Port of Galveston uses to entice cruise liners to use their port is the availability of upscale hotel accommodations. The City of LaPorte has addressed this and is in discussion with Commissioners Court to get approval to develop the Sylvan Beach area in a manner that would provide the necessary facilities. Expediting this approval and coordinating construction so that rooms would be available on a schedule which compliments an expanded schedule for cruise liners is important. • 11-57 PORT OF HOUSTON 1998 FOREIGN TRADE STATISTICS Total Leading Trading Partners Combined Import and Export Leading Trading Partners Combined Import and Export By Tonnage By Dollar Value Mexico _ 28,579,416 Mexico $3,013,945.485 Venezuela 14.729,073 Federal Republic of Germany $2,768,806,494 Algeria 6,313,575 Venezuela $2288,573,380 Iraq 2.781,834 Brazil $2,038,740,815 Saudi Arabia 2,773,787 United Kingdom $1,784,537,435 Leading Commodities Combined Import and Export By Leading Commodities Combined Import and Export By Tonnage Dollar Value Petroleum & Petroleum Products 70,487,213 Machinery $7,877,272,628 Organic Chemicals 8.612.867 Petroleum & Petroleum Products $5,873,453,924 Cereals and Cereal Products 6,334,242 Organic Chemicals -- $4,623 914,623 Iron & Steel 5,832,831 Iron & Steel $2,908,979,930 Crude Fertilizers & Minerals 4,830,115 Vehicles, Except Railway $2,205,066,222 Imports Leading Import Trading Partners By Tonnage Leading Import Trading Partners By Dollar Value Mexico 21,653,343 Federal Republic of Germany $2,326,454,043 Venezuela 13,624.405 Mexico $1,659,563,013 Algeria 6.054,287 United Kingdom $946,573,994 '"'' Saudi Arabia 2,514,657 Italy $946,101,088 Iraq 2,329,190 Venezuela $847,020,312 Leading Import Commodities By Tonnage Leading Import Commodities By Dollar Value Petroleum & Petroleum Products 59,446,184 Petroleum & Petroleum Products $4,702,962,964 Iron & Steel 5,369,346 Iron & Steel $2,261,094,021 Crude Fertilizers & Minerals 4,462,459 Machinery $1,806,649.825 Organic Chemicals 2.464.802 Vehicles.

Box 243 � La Porte, Texas 77571 Mr. Robert T. Herrera, Manager June 28, 1999 City Of LaPorte 604 W. Fairmont Pkwy LaPorte, Texas 77571 SUB: Ned S. Holmes Container Terminal . Dear Sir, Most residents of the Bay Colony Subdivision of LaPorte believe that implementation of the subject terminal facility on Bayport Channel will result in the subsequent demise of our subdivision. A major portion of the subdivision lies within 800 feet of the planned facility and the entire subdivision is within 1500 feet of the facility. Given this — proximity, we feel that noise and lighting will be the initial contributors to its near -term devastation. We were recently reminded of the noise problem when "maintenance dredging" of Bayport Channel was accomplished during May and June of this year. This included 24- hour operation of a large dredging barge with the resonating hum of a large engine interspersed with screams of smaller engines and intermittent blasts of a large horn. It wasn't so bad during the day but was an awakening experience during the wee hours of the mornings. Complaints to the Port Of Houston Authority and the Corps Of Engineers yielded no results. We also believe that the LaPorte subdivisions of Shady Oaks, Shady and Bayside Terrace, the City Of Shoreacres and The Houston Yacht Club will be subjected to the same noise, lighting and air pollutants from the facility which will ultimately result in the extreme devaluation of these properties. Further, the scope of the subject facility is such that construction of the facility itself and the associated rail and highway infrastructure will result in near - decimation of the City of LaPorte. As you may know, construction of the facility is to be accomplished over the next 20 years, which will be 20 years of continuous disruption for the City. And, after construction, comes its 24 - hour per day operation. It is difficult to imagine an additional 7000 trucks traveling southbound on HWY 146 each day, 7000 trucks traveling the northbound side each day and the 57 trains arriving and departing the • -'' facility each week. This, coupled with around -the -clock operation of ships in Bayport ... Channel and heavy equipment in the facility might well be the death knell of any residential area in the entire eastern portion of Harris County. It is difficult to see how this facility could benefit the City, economically or otherwise. Assuming some economic benefit could be realized, it would be offset by the degradation of property values in the affected communities. Don't forget who is to pay for this facility — the Harris County taxpayers (us). Also, don't forget our schools in which we have a significant investment and which will be subjected to the same pollutants to which our homeowners will be subjected. To this end, The Bay Colony Property Owners Association has prepared the attached resolution opposing construction of the subject facility. We ask that the City Of LaPorte recognize the hazards of allowing such a facility to be implemented and support our opposition to its construction. / f I - I I ; / '� am s E. Suber, President .2 l `/ BAY COLONY PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION RESOLUTION OPPOSITION TO EXPANSION PLANS OF THE HOUSTON PORT AUTHORITY BAYPORT CHANNEL WHEREAS, The Port Of Houston Authority (PHA) has vowed to implement a plan to construct a container cargo shipping and handling facility and a cruise terminal which: (a) Fully occupies the southern shore of Bayport Channel with berths for ocean- going vessels, container cargo handling cranes, and other heavy equipment (b) Lies within 800 feet of residences of Bay Colony, a subdivision of the City Of LaPorte, Harris County, Texas and, WHEREAS, Construction of the aforementioned facility and the planned 24 -hour operation of said facility, arrival and departure of ocean-going vessels and the operation of trains, trucks, cranes and other heavy equipment within the facility will generate inordinate lighting, noise and air pollutants within Bay Colony and, WHEREAS, The citizens and homeowners of Bay Colony feel that the lighting, noise and air pollutants so generated will be of sufficient magnitude so as to render homesites untenantable and without value and, WHEREAS, Despite pleas to PHA over the past 5 years to investigate and correct the substantial and unchecked erosion of the northern shore of Bayport Channel, PHA has chosen to ignore or delay action to investigate and correct the erosion problem. Erosion, primarily induced by ship traffic, has now reduced the originally established "Green Zone" from 300 feet to 150 feet and, in some cases, less than 100 feet and, WHEREAS, Taxpayers of Harris County will be solely responsible for construction costs of the aforementioned facility, estimated at 1.2 Billion Dollars by PHA and, WHEREAS, Taxpayers of Harris County and The State Of Texas shall bear the major costs of supporting infrastructure; roads, highways, bridges and overpasses. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BAY COLONY PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, CITY OF LAPORTE, TEXAS: - That, The Board Of Directors, Bay Colony Property Owners Association, by the individual signature of each Director Of The Board, do affirm unanimous opposition to the expansion plans of the Houston Port Authority in and along the shores of Bayport Channel.

Herrera, City Manager 1 SUBJECT: Bayport Expansion • The City Council asked that I attend a meeting, hosted by the City of Seabrook and the Galveston Bay Conservation and Preservation Association on June 17, 1999, in Seabrook, Texas. The purpose of the meeting was to seek commitment from Bayshore and Clear Lake cities to identify and agree upon a strategy to defeat the Bayport Container Port Terminal. The City of Seabrook is committed to the fight and has engaged the legal firm of James B. Blackburn, Jr. This firm specializes in environmental matters. The Mayor of Seabrook is Mr. Robinson who asked that the cities, which will become impacted by the expansion of the Bayport project, consider helping fund the fight. He suggested that cities, which may wish to participate with the City of Seabrook, consider paying $5.00 per resident of their respective city. If La Porte were to participate at this rate, our charge would be approximately $164,000 (population of 32,800 times $5.00 per resident). The arguments that I heard raised during the meeting are listed below without any order or preference: • The project is not financially viable. • The channel will be deepened to a depth of 50 feet instead of 45 feet as called for in their permit to the Army Corps of Engineers. • Land use issues will disrupt existing residential areas. • Major land use impacts will occur in the following areas: • truck traffic and autos • increase threat to driving safety • noise • lighting • rail yard and boxcar disruptions • Air Pollution issues • Attitude of Port is anti -Bay Community. • 4 -47 Mayor and City Council June 22, 1999 Page 2 of 2 For your reading, I have attached handouts given at the meeting. Please take a couple of minutes and review them. Contained within these handouts is a sample resolution the City of Seabrook and Galveston Bay Conservation and Preservation Association is asking neighboring cities to send to the July 8, meeting in Pasadena. The meeting on July 8 is being held by the Corps of Engineers at the Texas Chiropractic College, Russell Building, starting at 7:00 pm. This meeting is scheduled by the Corps in order to provide basic information to the public on the project, as well as, on the Environmental Impact Statement process. Then the Corps will seek public comment on the project, in order to help them identify environmental concems and identify what study efforts will be needed. Should you require any additional information, please let me know. I would like to receive direction from the Council on whether to continue looking at this matter with the proposed coalition, or should I continue to work with the Port separately from this group making them aware of the concerns we have with their project?

The finalists are Halifax, Nova Scotia, New York/New Jersey and Baltimore, Maryland. The carriers are still reviewing if one megaport is the most effective option or if volumes should be split over more than one northeast pert facility to meet their service and cost requirements. in May of 1998, seven ports were extended the RFP: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Boston, • Quonset Point, Rhode Island, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk, Virginia. The RFP's objective was to identify the most effective way to achieve efficiencies, increase productivity, improve service and reduce casts. The facility requirements listed in the RFP were: • • • Capacity for handling 750,000 lifts annually. • Capacity for 12,000 FFE - either wheeled or grounded. • Up to 50 feet of water depth for state- of- the- art - vessels. • 5000 contiguous feet of berth. • Up to 15 post - panamax cranes. • On -dock or near dock rail. Timing issues, environmental concerns, and cost were issues with the Quonset Point proposed facility. Lack of proper dual access to existing rail careers, coupled with their unwiilincness to allow Maersk and Sea -Land to operate the facility, and cost were issues at Norfolk. Maersk and Sea -Land share vessels, containers, terminals and other assets through operating alliance agreements that began in 1995. 12116/98 f :/ / u I U � N I N � ' a i sa O 'a m .4 O. of a f.l ;I\ O u UD m I v l Of t ''''''l a Q T xi IC O O C o _O >0 T a C O O ; CO ' I s I 4) C ° ° 7 O A b 0 01 N N N M 0 ° m a . r U3 a • a < 'c ,a ,o 0 3 o > '9 0 0 N CO M s a m m 0 9 n '9 7 7 - o - 7 d .D - b tp . - a a a a -4 C m m m o m '� o n n ° o m -0 cli QQ 0 = 0 O 0 u C O O 7 7 = M N N N 7 D 0 3 a 2 C C = A 0 0 - - = = 0 0' 0 a Q N 3 •o m a c o - c x O 0 < M .0 > > m 3 m 0 a, y _ ° ° ° 6/ N 7 O O O -� G m a 0. 7 3 A M T - 0, a 0. © - G ° m ° v. ■ M CO X' O `T ' C ■ m a O - O m , _ 7 m 7 3 0 cs . ° M a - > = m 0 n — at O c. • I o a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a 7 M M M M M M' M' s M M M 3 M 1 ! = H 7 3 3 7 j 7 O O O O C il 7 7 7 7 Z v N 0 0 O 0 O 0 0 O 0 O 0 O 0 O N N N N N N N N N N N N N Na N 0 > 0 '•1 --ti 0 O O C L m V a a 3 Z r Ot . c . = T m m �-�, A m to O N Q ■ M x ■ T - 0 — m CO • O - ∎° I . 0 m m • (...1 C --- C O r Cr .a N = i toI O f.:3 tp CT a _ 0 is D --J L....,.. „,, ,...

WHEREAS, the Port of Houston Authority has proposed a container facility at Bayport that will require utilization of over 1000 acres and will generate peak traffic demand at build out of approximately 7000 trucks per day, and WHEREAS, the Bayport container facility plan was prepared by the Port of Houston Authority without a public participation process that allowed stakeholder input to the design process; and WHEREAS, the Bayport container facility will generate significant air quality impacts from the diesel trucks, diesel ships, diesel cranes and diesel vehicles that will be active at the Bayport container facility, and WHEREAS, the Bayport area is currently violating the federal health -based standard for ozone air pollution; and WHEREAS, monitoring data indicate that the federal health standard for fine particle air pollution is being exceeded downwind of the Bayport facility, and WHEREAS, the Bayport container facility is adjacent to residential development at El Jardin del Mar, Seabrook and Shoreacres that will be negatively impacted by the noise, light and air pollution from the Bayport facility, and WHEREAS, residential areas throughout the Bay Area will be negatively affected by traffic and air pollution generated by Bayport; and WHEREAS, Galveston Bay is a nationally- important estuary; and WHEREAS, the likelihood exists that the Bayport Container facility ultimately will be dredged to 50 or more feet to accommodate the mega -ships that are being constructed today, and WHEREAS, a channel constructed to a depth of 50 or more feet into the Galveston Bay system as far up as Bayport would increase salinity levels and decrease marine productivity in Galveston Bay and WHEREAS, other sites exist in the Galveston Bay system that are not adjacent to residential development; and WHEREAS, other sites exist in the Galveston Bay system that are better served by rail than is the Bayport site and would generate less truck traffic and less air pollution than would Bayport; and WHEREAS, one site exists in the Galveston Bay system that is already approved for 50 foot channel depths and will have significantly less impact to the Galveston Bay system than would a 50 foot channel to Bayport; and 1 / -- / OS • WHEREAS, a regional approach to container facility siting that considers the entire Galveston Bay system is desirable; and - S, a regional approach to container facility siting could provide for the public involvement and stakeholder participation that never occurred prior to the development of the plan for the Port of Houston Bayport facility. BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED BY TILE CITY OF THAT: 1. The city is opposed to the permitting, licensing and construction of the proposed Port of Houston Authority Bayport container facility. 2. The city is committed to a regional container port siting process that considers all reasonable sites within the Galveston Bay system, fully develops environmental and economic information as part of the input into the siting process and fully integrates stakeholders into the process and considers their input in the decision-making process regarding regional port site selection. Canada Road (from Spencer Highway to Fairmont Parkway) Background • The City's 1994 Comprehensive Plan Update added this road segment to the Thoroughfare Plan. • This year the City budgeted for intersection improvements at Spencer Highway. The proposed improvements are to align Canada Road with the recently completed East Boulevard on the north side of Spencer Highway and then transition to the existing roadway. • The City negotiated with the developer of the Texaco station for donation of 1 of the r -o -w needed. • The City had the additional '/ appraised and recently completed this purchase. • The City has asked the firm of Klotz and Associates to prepare a proposal for engineering services necessary to complete the design. Construction/Reconstruction of Canada Road from Spencer Highway to Fairmont Parkway Right -of -way needs (see exhibit) • South of the r -o -w acquired for intersection improvements, the Canada Street r -o -w is 60 feet. • Canada Street is designated as an arterial roadway. Our Comprehensive Plan and Development Ordinance standards recommend a 100 ft. wide r -o -w for arterial roadways. This would provide for a 4 lane divided roadway with a median. • South of Carlow there is no dedicated r -o -w. The road that serves the warehouse from Fairmont Parkway is a private road. Initial R -O -W Recommendations • Because of 6 existing residences on the east side of Canada, acquisition of additional r -o -w from the west side (mobile home park) would appear preferable. This would result in loss of approximately 20 lease spaces and lessen the impact on the residences. The City does have another negotiation opportunity to acquire the r -o -w from the mobile home park. • Hopefully, the private road easement (est. 50' - 60' wide) can be secured without significant cost based on the prospect of the City providing an improved roadway. • The additional r -o -w in this stretch 40' - 50' could come from the recently purchased 33.64 Ac. tract for a proposed community park. If 50' is needed and used for r -o -w, the parks acreage would be reduced to 32.17 Ac. • South of the City's 33.64 Ac. tract, the City will have to acquire the additional r -o -w through donation or acquisition. Other Considerations • The area south of Carlow does not have water or sanitary sewer service. The City should, along with the planning of Canada Road, plan for the most efficient delivery of water and sewer to the area. • The installation of waterline is fairly straight forward. • Sanitary sewer service should be evaluated for the following: • Eliminating the private sewage treatment facility owned and operated by the mobile home park. • The potential to eliminate Lift Station #33 in Spenwick Place. • The appropriate location of new collection lines, lift stations and force main to serve the area.

One of the areas where I need a better understanding is the Fairmont Parkway acceleration / deceleration lanes. For your information, I have enclosed a letter sent to Commissioner Fonteno on February 22, 1999, asking the County to consider this work effort. I have not heard the status of our request. Would you be so kind as to follow up on the project on behalf of the City of La Porte? We would like to know if the project parameters include the requests in our letter to the County of February 22, 1999, and by what timeline we can expect the work to start or be completed. • I would appreciate your support.

On Monday January 4,1999 , I discussed some of the concerns with Becky Loper . We discussed two items of concern. 1.) In the Brookglen subdivision (Key Map page 578D) there is a Harris County Flood Control Easement (H.C.F.C.E.) . Which runs east and west from Canada street to Willow Spring Bayou. The segment within the limits of Brookglen has been mowed by the County three times in the last 18 months. This is a concrete lined easement and I feel that it would be better to clean the easement of the dirt and weeds instead of mowing a concrete easement. Also, the northern part of this drainage easement which runs east of Canada Street and turns to the north and runs north of Spencer Highway is in need of some maintenance work. 2.) Some residents in the Brookglen area have requested some traffic assistance off Fairmont Parkway ( Key Map page 578G). The suggestion is two turn lanes one east and west bound at Brookwood at Fairmont Parkway . As vehicles travel west bound and are turning right on to Brookwood. The suggestion is to have a right lane turn shoulder so the vehicles behind the vehicle turning would not need to slow down for the vehicle turning. Also, have the same type of turning shoulder traveling east bound. Should you need any additional information please contact me at 713 - 207 -4457 (work) or 281- 476 -5176 (home). Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

W; nd 0 to 5 3.i - 7-19 q MARKETING SIGNAGE AT CITY ENTRANCES: PROMOTING LA PORTE C urrently, many cities, in addition to providing services to their citizens, are competing for tourist dollars. By promoting their historical districts and recreational amenities, cities hope to attract repeat as well as first time visitors. One advertisement approach is through the use of creative signage. BASIS FOR SIGNAGE One of the elements reviewed for the City of La Porte's 1984 Comprehensive Plan was Beautification and Conservation. When La Porte's citizens offered comments on this element, they wished to develop ". . . an identification system of the City that will permit people to be cognizant that they are in the City of La Porte. "' " Signage projects will be specifically located at principal entry and exit points of the City both on the bay and thoroughfares. " When the citizens committee on Tourism, Business Development, and Marketing provided comments for the Visions '89 Goals Report, the members recommended a city -wide marketing plan that would have a theme to reflect ". . . community unity and capitalize on the City's international exposure. " Also, this committee suggested promoting La Porte's Main Street as ". . . historical Main Street. " As part of the Bayfront Master Plan, Main Street and San Jacinto Street should be marketed as entrance corridors to Sylvan Beach Park and Pavilion. Under review for the Comprehensive Plan Update, both the Beautification / Conservation and Redevelopment Strategy elements identify that appropriate directional signage is recommended as an enhancement method for gateways / major corridors that would attract businesses and visitors to downtown and to the rest of the City. Uniformity and a theme in promotional signage could showcase La Porte's uniqueness. Signage programs offered by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) would be one option to accomplish this effort. SIGNAGE PROGRAMS TxDOT offers signage programs to assist cities with advertising while attempting to reduce the clutter on Texas roadways, due to a proliferation of signs. Recently, a Main Street Association representative approached City staff and TxDOT requesting options for promotional signage. This organization is interested in signage for the northbound and southbound exits from SH 146 to highlight Main Street, specifically, while bringing visitors into La Porte to explore the City's additional amenities. As a public service, TxDOT is providing and installing a green background direction sign, indicating La Porte's Main Street as a Historical Business District, at the northbound and southbound exits from SH 146 to Main Street. The City of Baytown's Texas Avenue has a similar sign at the entrances to their main street area. Turner Collie & Braden Inc. in association with LWFW Vernon G.

Marketing Signage July 8, 1999 Page 2 of 3 In addition to the Historical Business District signage, TxDOT offers a Logo Sign Program and City Pride Sign Program. The Logo Program is provided as a service to motorists and is allowed on Interstate highways through rural areas, only. These large signs are placed in State rights -of -way (ROW), have a blue background, and have company logos advertising gas stations, restaurants, and lodging establishments. Although requests for variances may be submitted to TxDOT, this program requires each individual business to submit a request for variance. TxDOT would discourage this type of sign on SH 225 and SH 146 due to the interstate highway and rural area requirement. To participate in the City Pride Program, a city must initiate the request rather than an interested organization or the State. (Exhibit "A ") The State offers options for the sign's size and type of information displayed, however, the City would bear the cost of construction and installation, and must comply with TxDOT rules and regulations for road signage. (Exhibit "B ") TxDOT provides an agreement that must be completed prior to participation in this program. (Exhibit "C ") SIGNAGE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Prior to entering into a formal agreement with TxDOT for this program, the City must submit a written request for signage along State ROW to TxDOT stating the number of signs, type, size, location(s), funding source(s), maintenance responsibility. Once approval is received, written correspondence must be prepared with all design specifications, traffic control plan, and proof of insurance coverage. TxDOT prohibits lighting for City Pride signs, and will not take any responsibility for maintenance or damage to signs or added landscaping, although both require TxDOT approval. According to the City's Public Works Street Maintenance Superintendent, this department is equipped to construct a sign with maximum dimensions of 4' x 6'. Any structure exceeding these dimensions would require a knowledgeable contractor for the design, construction, and installation of the signs. At this time the City's Code of Ordinances regulates signage only on private property not in any right -of -way. Therefore, no City permit is required for State or County rights -of -way according to the City's Chief Building Official. POTENTIAL LOCATIONS As stated in the 1984 Comprehensive Plan, signage is classified by the type and extent of proposed improvements and their location on thoroughfares or on the bayfront. (Exhibit "D ") 8 Reilly, Carl, Texas Department of Transportation, Phone Interview, June 10, 1999. Marketing Signage July 8, 1999 — Page3of3 Type "A" signage includes an architectural structure, lighting, planting, and surface treatment improvements. The sign's location will determine the type of structure and lighting. Type "A" locations for city limits are: ➢ SH 225 ➢ SH 146 D. Fairmont Parkway ➢ on the bay's northern and southern ends coinciding with the city limits. Type "B" signage includes a standard sign, lighting, and planting. Type "B" locations include: ➢ "L" Street ➢ Spencer Highway ➢ Broadway ➢ Barbours Cut Blvd. ➢ East Main Street D. Park Blvd. D. Underwood Road ➢ Bay Area Blvd. D. on the bay at the mouths for Little Cedar Bayou and Deer Creek RECOMMENDATION If Council wishes to pursue signage at La Porte's prominent entrances, staff will research additional options for locations other than State ROW before presenting to Council, possibly in a workshop format. Due to the anticipated cost(s) of this type project, staff would recommend budgeting as a Capital Improvements Project, possibly through the Hotel /Motel Fund. For continuity, Council may wish to consider adopting a slogan for La Porte that could be used on signs, banners, brochures, correspondence, etc. One suggestion received (from a citizen) might be "La Porte — The Doorway to Hospitality." TT he City's Mission Statement begins: "To be recognized as one of the top three municipal corporations in the State of Texas." Signage could be effective as a marketing tool to draw visitors into our community and to promote the City's efforts to achieve this recognition. 9 Turner, p. 1 -65. 10 Turner, p. 1 -66. b -V c.ii TxDOT & MUNICIPALITY RESPONSIBILITIES CITY PRIDE SIGN PROGRAM • A municipality that desires to participate in the CPSP must complete the attached agreement and submit the agreement to the district office for execution. The completed CPSP agreements should be retained in the appropriate files by each district. The CPSP agreement is available in WordPerfect 6.1 format upon request from Cindy Nelson at (512) 416 -3138, TxDOT GroupWise HQ17.CNELSON. • As referenced on the attached standard SMD (CPS) -97, City Pride Signs shall be fabricated with approved breakaway supports. Three typical City Pride Sign designs are illustrated; however, TxDOT will consider alternate designs for unique shaped backgrounds (80 square foot maximum) upon request. ♦ Non - official or non - traffic related signage requests from civic organizations, government agencies, etc., will be handled by the municipality under the rules set forth in the CPSP. • Non - official or non - traffic related signing shall not be attached to TxDOT sign supports. This includes SUPERIOR WATER SUPPLY, CLEAN TEXAS 2000, KEEP TEXAS BEAUTIFUL, SISTER CITY OF (city name & country), NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, or other signs currently attached to TxDOT city limit signs. Many of these supports with additional signs attached are overloaded and do not meet the breakaway requirements of National Cooperative Highway Research Project 350, "Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features" (NCHRP 350). TxDOT must comply with the requirements of NCHRP 350 by September 1, 1998. Therefore, these signs should be removed from TxDOT sign supports. Independently mounted non- official or non - traffic related signing within the right -of -way must also comply with the CPSP. • The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission's SUPERIOR (or APPROVED) WATER SUPPLY and CLEAN TEXAS 2000 signs may remain independently mounted if located in accordance with the CPSP rules. If removal and relocation of such signs is necessary to comply with the CPSP, it is the responsibility of the city. Please note that the CPSP rules allow the Traffic Operations Division j = :: February 1997 SUPERIOR (or APPROVED) WATER SUPPLY and CLEAN TEXAS 2000 signs to be placed on a separate independent sign support in addition to the City Pride Sign. • As previously stated, signs not in compliance with the CPSP will be removed no later than September 1, 1998. To prevent possible misunderstandings between municipalities and TxDOT, it is recommended that district personnel contact the municipalities, explain the CPSP, and request voluntary removal of signs not in compliance with the CPSP before the September 1, 1998 deadline. Informational brochures explaining the CPSP are attached for distribution to the municipalities. • At the municipality's request, TxDOT forces may remove non - official and non - traffic related signs from TxDOT supports and return the signs to the municipality. However, before September 1, 1998, these signs should not be removed without first contacting the municipality and allowing the municipality a chance to remove the signs voluntarily. Signs removed by TxDOT forces should be returned to the municipality or stored until the municipality (or others) can be contacted. TxDOT forces should not discard signs that are property of the municipality (or others) unless there has been no effort to contact TxDOT or retrieve the signs within 60 days of notification. • If a municipality wishes to erect other permanent structures within the right - of -way such as walls, berms, etc., with "Welcome to (city name)" or other messages intended to be affixed or inscribed as an integral part of the overall landscape design, these requests should be forwarded to the Landscape Design Section of the Design Division. Requests will be evaluated under the rules of existing landscape programs with regard to project design, adequate sight distance, adequate clear zone, and maintenance.

April 30, 1999 Mr. Robert Herrera City Manager City of LaPorte P.O. Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77572 -1115 (Sent via fax to 281 -471 -7168) Dear Bob: I appreciate this opportunity to submit a proposed work plan to assist the City of La Porte by conducting a team building session for the City Council. As you know, our approach to Council retreats will provide an excellent basis for improving the interpersonal skills and teamwork of the participants. As you know, we use the Managing for Success Report (also known as the DISC Report) in our Team Building sessions. By using the reports to focus on the individual Council Member and their unique communication style, we begun to assist in the building of a personalized approach as to how they perform their particular role on the Council. Each training session that we conduct is different depending on the individual behavioral styles that fill the room, but the results are always the same — success in strengthening the Council's image and increasing teamwork and communication skills. It is my understanding that this will be a half -day session beginning in the afternoon. With this in mind, I have prepared a pnctng 5 e e a long with an overview of the session. Alter reviewing this attached information, please give me a call so that we can discuss any questions that you may have. Again, I am looking forward to the opportunity of working with you and your Council. • Best Regards, ollie O. Waters, CMC President ROW /svl THE WATERS CONSULTING GROUP, INC.

Amenities include six lighted soccer fields, two multi - purpose tennis, basketball courts, a zero depth 65,000 gallon swimming pool, parking facilities, picnic facilities and play equipment (circa, 1985). There is a ten -acre tract of land that is part of the park that is currently undeveloped. It is separated from the adjacent parkland by Big Island Slough, making it virtually inaccessible by pedestrian traffic. Northwest Park is home to the La Porte Soccer Club. The La Porte Soccer Club has entered into a long -term agreement with the City of La Porte to provide youth soccer opportunities for approximately 700 boys and girls in La Porte and surrounding communities. The six soccer fields at Northwest Park are insufficient to accommodate the current soccer program demand. The La Porte Soccer Club has entered into an agreement with the City of La Porte to provide matching funding for a $55,000, 2,500 ft restroom /concession facility at Northwest Park that is currently under construction. Anticipated completion of this facility is in September 1999. Identified Needs The Association and the City have worked closely to provide facilities for use by the participants. The current six fields at Northwest Park are inadequate to meet the needs of the Association's program. The Association utilizes three fields at Fairmont Park for a total of nine fields. Completion of the restroom, concession, and office facilities, coupled with existing parking areas, will be sufficient to meet the Association's short term needs. There are +/ -10 acres of undeveloped parkland at Northwest Park that would be sufficient to meet the future field and parking needs of the Association for the long term. The Association has indicated that there may be grant funding available for youth soccer facilities through the U.S. Soccer governing organization (F.I.F.A.) that we may be able to tap into for some of the funding for new fields. Short Term Needs. LPSA • Consider consolidation of fields at a single location by construction of three additional fields for use by the Association. • Consider provision of lighting of three new fields. • Consider provision of additional parking facilities to meet increased demand, due to prohibitively long distance ( +/- 1,500 ft.) from existing facilities. • �� —I Long Term Needs, LPSA • Consider provision of a pedestrian bridge over Big Island Slough to provide off -road access to the additional fields. • Consider provision of additional restroom /concession /storage facility to meet increased demand, due to prohibitively long distance ( +/- 1,500 ft.) from existing facilities. • Consider installation of one to three additional small (3 -4 per side) fields in Northwest Park as future demand increases are noted. LA PORTE BOY'S BASEBALL ASSOCIATION Existing Conditions at Fairmont Park Fairmont Park consists of 17.7 acres. Amenities include the 3,800 ft Fairmont Recreation Center, seven lighted youth baseball facilities, two lighted (and one unlighted) soccer fields, a 110,000 gallon swimming pool, parking facilities, a concession, restroom, pressbox building, and parking facilities. Fairmont Park is home to the La Porte Boy's Baseball Association (LPBBA). The existing facilities provided for boy's baseball are insufficient to meet the current demand for fields, restrooms, concessions, parking, and other facilities at the park. Identified Needs As of the beginning of the 1999 season, the program consisted of approximately 860 youth participants. The seven fields that serve as their base of operations are inadequate to meet the current demand. The concession/ restroom /pressbox facility was constructed in 1976 and are close to the end of their useful life. The concession facilities are overused and too small to meet current demand. The pressbox serves four of the seven fields and does not meet current demand. Parking and restroom facilities are inadequate to meet the demands of 860 participants and their families, particularly on weekends. There are drainage problems at the facility, and portions of the park are not A.D.A. accessible. Fairmont Park is built -out in terms of available space for additional fields or parking. The three soccer fields add to the congestion during the times when soccer and baseball seasons overlap. At our meeting in April 1999, the Association identified a need for ten youth baseball fields, coupled with additional practice fields, to meet their projected growth pattern over the next ten years. Short Term Needs, LPBBA • Consider removal of the three soccer fields at Fairmont Park. • Additional parking and one or two smaller baseball fields could then be constructed on the site to accommodate demand in the short term. • Consider renovation of the swimming pool bathhouse. Such a move could provide additional restroom facilities through shared use (isolation from swimming pool would be required when utilized by the Association) Long Term Needs, LPBBA • Even with the removal of the soccer fields, there is still not enough room to accommodate the ten fields that the Association is requesting, and meet the parking demands at the Fairmont Park site. 1) — • Consider identification, development, and construction of a new boy's baseball complex on a suitable site, either through acquisition of a new park, or utilization of an existing park site. The new site should be able to accommodate the ten requested fields in varying sizes, adequate parking, restrooms, concession, and storage facilities to meet future demand. • Retain some of the fields at Fairmont Park for use as practice fields; return Fairmont Park to a more aesthetically pleasing, passive utilization that better fits the needs of the surrounding community. g` 4 - 3:1!''''',!;;;'-'''' opiii% imi '' ter,.

The property is a 20 acre tract of land located between the La Porte Municipal Airport and the Bayshore Baptist Church. This property is one that has been obtained through the Delinquent Tax Process. A narrative discussion of this parcel is attached behind the site map. The property is about 489 feet wide and 1747 feet wide. We engaged the services of an architect to provide us with a potential site layout for the property and determined that we would be able to place five baseball fields on the property. The fields would be the following sizes: 1 Palomino 2 Pony 1 Mustang 1 Bronco 5 In addition, there would be adequate parking for 362 vehicles. If the City were to utilize this site for baseball fields, it would need to keep the majority of the fields at Fairmont Park. I -6 City of La Porte Interoffice Memorandum To: Robert T. Herrera, City Manager John Joerns, Assistant City Manager From: Jeff Litchfield, Director of Finance /ACM Date: July 15, 1999 Subject: 20 Acre Parcel near Airport (Two Spencer LTD property) This tract is a 20 acre parcel located between Spencer Highway and North D Street and between the Municipal Airport and Bayshore Baptist Church. There is a pipeline corridor between the property and the Airport. This property was previously owned by a corporation known as Two Spencer Limited. The property was taken by the La Porte Tax Office on behalf of the City of La Porte, the La Porte Independent School District and Harris County because of taxes outstanding on the property. We believed this property would turn over rather quickly because of the amount of taxes due on the property versus its potential worth. The taxes due on the property were about $140,000, or about $7,000 an acre. We placed this property on the Property Resale List and received an inquiry from Knox Askins, representing Bayshore Baptist Church. What Knox had found in his title research was several clouds on the title that would prevent a prudent buyer from purchasing the property. The status of this property and the clouds on the title were presented to the Audit/Finance Committee for their review. They indicated that we (the Tax Office and the Tax Attorney's) should proceed to see if we could remove the clouds on the title. We worked with Alamo Title and are now in a position where we can receive a title policy from Alamo. In reporting back to the Audit/Finance Committee, they indicated their desire that this property be brought before the entire City Council for consideration of several options for use or disposal. Options 1. We place the property back on the Property Resale List. In doing so, we expect Bayshore Baptist Church to again be interested in purchasing the property. We have heard their intent is to resale the property to the developer who is building houses on the east side of the Church. We have also received inquiry from a couple of developers who are thinking of bidding on the property themselves. 2. We purchase the property ourselves. We can accomplish this by paying the taxes due the School District and Harris County, which totals about $95,000 (or about $4,750 an acre). In doing this, we would also pay ourselves the taxes due us. We could then actively market the sale of the property and receive any "profit" that might be had. 11- 3. We purchase the property ourselves and use the property for a City Use. Possible uses for the 20 Acre tract (which is about 490 feet wide and 1750 feet long) are for ball fields or, because of its central location, for future city facilities. Because of its proximity to the Airport, there might be restrictions on what we can do with the property. When we thought about ball fields, we checked the Airport Air Space Plan and found we were okay height wise but still need to check to see if there are restrictions regarding light placement. While we consider the above options, I have asked Kathy Powell to temporarily remove the property from the Resale List. Xc: Kathy Powell, Tax Assessor /Collector ll-g _ _ _ I 1 1I IIIII!

A second site we looked at was the property located behind the Recreation and Fitness Center. This is the property the Fred Westergren and Decker McKim offered to sale the City back in November of 1998. A letter was reviewed with staff and then workshopped with City Council. A reprint of the letter is attached. To summarize the site, it is bounded by the old Kroger store on the west, the Recreation and Fitness Center on the east, Little Cedar Bayou on the south and the Water Treatment Plant on the west. It is about 21 acres of private land with an additional 14 acres of right of way. The ownership of the 21 acres is such that about 72% is probably available through tax seizure. This 72% is in the name of either J.E. Cook or the La Porte Land Company (which he owned). We had our architect review this property as a potential site for baseball fields and found that it would accommodate 10 fields and 274 parking spaces. The ten fields that would be provided are: 1 Palomino 1 Pony 3 Bronco 3 Mustang 2 Pinto 10 1) -ID • i g.55 City of La Porte Interoffice Memorandum To: Robert T. Herrera, City Manager Members of Executive Staff CONFIDENTIAL From: it Director of Finance /ACM Date: November 18, 1998 Subject: Proposal on Cook Property Background In December of 1997, Fred Westergren and Decker McKim informed the City they were working on behalf of Mrs. J. E. Cook. Their task was to review deeds, old papers and other documents to determine what she owns and whether or not she had good, clean title to the properties. They inquired as to whether or not the City might be interested in obtaining some of the property. Attached, starting on page 3, is a letter from John to Bob that sheds further light on this subject. On November 10, 1998, I was visited by Fred and Decker regarding this project. They met with me because of my close association with the delinquent tax situation in the City. During our meeting, they stated that they were just about through with their review of documents regarding the area between Mrs. Cook's house and the Treatment Plant, which is the area depicted in John's Letter, and have found that, for the most part, the title is good and the records of HCAD are accurate. Second, they indicated Mrs. Cook would be willing to sell all of her property in this area for 50 cents per square foot. I felt it prudent to have this reviewed by the Executive Staff to determine the reasonableness of further investigation of the property. Attached are several items of interest that might help in determining if we have further interest in the property. On page 6 is a block map of the property in question. This map was provided by Fred and Decker. The blocks with the "X" notation are the ten block's they discussed in our meeting. On page 7 is an Excel drawing of the layout of the 10 block area. This shows the property they are trying to sell the City as well as the use of nearby property. On page 8 is a list of the property owners that own property in the 10 block area. On page 9 is a list of the estimated amount of delinquent taxes owed by the Cook's and La Porte Land Company. Included in the total are amounts due the City, School and the County. /Ng Observations Assorted facts that came from the attached data are: 1. The property in the 10 block area (8 full blocks and the two partials that are cut off by Little Cedar Bayou) totals approximately 21 acres. 2. If the City obtained all of the property, they could make use of the dedicated streets and alleys to obtain a parcel with a total land size of about 35 acres. 3. The Cook's only own 72 percent of the 10 block area, other property owners (about 17) own the other 28 percent. 4. Included as other owners are companies and individuals whom we have had to deal with in the past, i.e. the Frymore Corporation and the Debakey's own Block 1156. 5. The total delinquent taxes on the Cook properties is estimated at $234,443. The delinquent taxes on the Cook properties in the 10 block area is estimated at $92,515. 6. The amount due as delinquent taxes increases by 1 %, or about 2,350 each month. 7. The Total Amount Due of $234,443 is equal to 72% of the HCAD appraised value of the property. Even recognizing that HCAD is normally appraised lower than market, it still represents a large amount of the property's value. 8. The properties have suits filed against them by the City's previous Tax Attorney. His rights cease at the end of this December. Our new attorney will be filing suits in January. 9. If the land were to appraise at 50 cents a square foot, the cost for 21 acres would be 457,380. 10. The City is in the process of purchasing property behind the Recreation/Fitness Center in Block 1157 (Cudleigh J P ). This property appraised at 72 cents a square foot Recommendation If it is determined that it is beneficial to the City to obtain this property, I suggest we move forward as follows: 1. We obtain an appraisal of the 10 block property from a private appraiser. 2. We offer to purchase the property, in whole, at the lower of the appraised value or 50 cents per square foot, 3. We condition our offer that we buy all property as a block and that Decker and Fred will be responsible for obtaining purchase options from property owners other than Mrs. Cook. That is, it would be a turn key purchase, we would not be caught trying to deal with holdout property owners 4. Realizing the probability of Fred and Decker being successful in their delivery of the property is low, have our tax attorney file suits against the properties in January. 8 -13 CITY OF LAPORTE INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM CONEWTIAL December 22, 1997 TO: Robert T. Herrera, City Manager ,' FROM: John Joems, Assistant City Man - • , 1 SUBJECT: J. E. Cooke Estate Potential Property Acquisition As you know, Mr. J. E. Cooke passed away earlier this year. It appears that his widow, Dorothy M. Cooke, may be interested in selling the properties that are in La Porte. Fred Westergren and Decker McKim are assisting her in reviewing deeds, old papers, etc., in an effort to determine what property she owns and whether or not there is clean title to the properties. They have visited me to see if the City is interested in any of the properties. One area the City may wish to consider is along the North side of Little Cedar Bayou and streching from 1s' Street to 5` Street right -of -way. This property could be important to the City for the following reasons: 1. Owning both sides of LCB could enhance and protect the park from future development encroachments from the North Side of the Bayou. 2. It would assist in flood plain regulation. 3. If necessary, it would provide more flexibility and options if future drainage / channelization improvements are necessary. 4. It provides the opportunity for the City to control the land and uses around the LCB Wastewater Treatment Plant and to have a buffer around the facility. 5. It provides an opportunity to preserve and promote the "historical" gravesites in Block 1154. 6. Provides for other creative options to land use along LCB such as a riverwalk or pedestrian trail. 7. Provides for relocation of Parks Department Equipment and materials to a site near the Fitness Center / Administration Bldg. (Block 1157). At this time, there is no established asking price. and the market value of the property is certainly dependent on the outcome of the title search. Funds that could be considered for the purchase of the property are: 1. Voter approved but unsold bonds; $500.000 available 2. Funds in Park Zone # 9; $3500.00 as of 9/30/97 C: Jeff Litchfield, ACM / Director of Finance Guy Rankin, Director of Planning JJ /dly II -1ST TATE H /GHWA 4 . ---- ' Y-^,., . r '.,,-.--.4-a —.n r ,•.. _ -- +•_ : .

The youth football program is a two -part program. Boys participate in the football portion, and girls participate in cheerleading, drill team portion (not mutually exclusive). The football field and other land at Baker Jr. High that is utilized by this association is available because the school was converted to a sixth grade only campus in the early 1990's. Baker no longer fielded a junior high football team so there was no need for the field other than for P.E. use during the school day. The Association, the City, and LPISD entered into a three -way agreement to provide facilities for this Association at Baker. Under the agreement, the LPISD provides fields, field maintenance, and associated activities, the City provides electrical service and lighting maintenance, and the Association provides organizational activities for the program. This organization is divided into two competitive camps, the Oilers, and the Cowboys. They have separate presidents and Drill Team Leaders, and have different views of the organization's resources and field usage; thus quite a bit of internal conflict within the group. In past years, the groups have rotated the use of their premier field (marked as Game Field on the exhibit), but the dominant group, the Cowboys apparently have refused to relinquish that field the past two years. The City has assisted in the provision of funding for lighting improvements, and this year, funding for construction of a small pressbox/concession facility. In past meetings, the Association leadership has indicated a desire for a new location for their base of operations. In review by staff, the current four fields at Baker Junior High School appear to be adequate to meet the needs of the Association's program, based on their current levels of participation. Short Term Needs, LPYFA • Consider provision of additional lighting of existing fields. • Consider provision of restroom and concession facilities Long Term Needs, LPYFA • There is a potential need for additional fields for this Association that is not currently discernable. There is not sufficient room at Baker to provide additional fields for use for this program. If demand exceeds capacity at some point in the future, there will be a need to consider identification and development of a new complex for this program, with attendant restroom and parking facilities. As discussed above, the three -way agreement between the City, LPISD, and the Association will expire in 2001. Staff will continue to work with the Association to monitor activity and determine if there is a need for future facility expansion at this site or at some other site to be determined. 1a- a ti .Xfi Y - do F FwL xs` < 3 1^ G y , 4 yqp' 3 �'t; tr a ye d � y . .,. j a'csr,�� b � 4h ' ) } • � • x'' � °t : s "'. ,Vie. � , ' :`" `a *,. -F - e.

Amenities include a 350,000 gallon wave tech swimming pool, one lighted multi - purpose adult soccer /football field, one unlighted adult soccer field, two tennis courts, four horseshoe pits, four lighted youth girl's softball fields, play equipment and park service equipment (circa, 1989). The park also contains a linear park nature trail and fourteen -acre wildlife preserve, following the contour of Little Cedar Bayou to its terminus into Galveston Bay. The Wave Pool and tennis courts were placed into service in 1989. The pool was re- plastered and the plumbing was partially replaced in 1998 and it is in good condition. The La Porte Girl's Softball Association (LPGSA) moved their operations to this facility from Lomax Park this year (1999). The City of La Porte converted three existing adult softball fields to youth softball fields, added lighting to the third field, and is in the process of adding an additional (fourth) lighted softball field to the complex. The City renovated the restroom and concession facilities to bring them to park service standards. Identified Needs As discussed, three fields have been completed and a fourth field is currently being constructed at the site. The program consists of approximately 300 youth participants. At our meeting with the Association in June, 1999, the association concurred that the four fields and most of the associated facilities that serve as their base of operations should be sufficient to meet the current and future demands of the organization for the next ten years. Long Term Needs, LPGSA • Consider provision of additional restroom, concession, and storage facilities adjacent to Field #4 to accommodate future growth and the long distance ( +/- 1,200 ft.) from existing facilities. 13 -! - . .

Herrera, City Manager From: Jeff Litchfield, Director of Finance /ACM Date: July 20, 1999 Subject: Report on Financial Condition of Bay Forest Golf Course At the City Council Retreat, Golf Professional Alex Osmond will be providing you with information on the status of the greens renovation, a proposal to build an open air pavilion adjacent to the Club House, and a recommendation to increase green fees for weekend play. The purpose of this report is to walk you through the projected financial impact of these specific items. My discussion centers around the attached spread sheet. The sheet begins with a five year history of Revenues, Expenses and Working Capital. It also shows the impact of the reserve we have established for Capital Expansion. In reviewing the column under 1998, you will see the Golf Course had a Working Capital decrease (or loss) of $157,657. It was the second year in a row for the course to spend more money than it took in. The Golf Course ended the 1997 -98 fiscal year with a working capital balance of $758,250, and of this amount, we had targeted $368,000 for Capital Expansion. To shift our focus to the future, I have prepared five columns of numbers. Each is discussed below. The column labeled "Original Budget for 1999" presents the Golf Course Financial Information as we estimated it to be last year when we prepared the 1998 -99 budget. It is being shown primarily as a benchmark more than anything because it is no longer valid. The column labeled "Current Projection for 1999" is a much better estimate of the current status of the course. It includes the reduction in revenues and increase in expenses caused by the Green Renovation project. The column labeled "Current Projection with Pavilion" provides a futuristic estimate based on the assumption that we will shift our capital expansion plans to just adding an open air pavilion. The column labeled "Preliminary Estimate For 2000" is a projection of next year's Revenues and Expenses. Not fully knowing the impact of the Green Renovation on revenues, I have assumed that they will return to about 1997 levels. The expenses are very early budget request numbers. The column labeled "2000 Estimate with Rate Increase" shows the impact of the proposed rate increase, which is $3 per weekend round and $100 per membership. Each of these columns can be discussed in detail at the retreat, if the Council so desires. )4 I O 0 a) ID pp pp pp pp p fa O ( OMo 8Oc~r)OoNM O N E w (000oO M000D (D u ON-0) M W (0 U IZM o o 0 0)(0 c5 (.6 5 c 6) et C 1 0 0 M C0 C0 (0 I- CD M N Cn r` N 0-00000,- ( 0001 O NE o C N o OOO. -000 Oo(A Oha O E• - 6 1ri ouioCr)N o CD v 0 06 rn n � 114)0 M 0) 0) '�N 0_ (n e- .- C0Z 0 '�t00000pp� (0 1 - 00001 U) 5 U) N.

Accompanying that memo was a spread sheet that projected revenues and expenses into the future as well as showing the impact of a $3 increase in weekend rates and a $100 increase in membership rates. The spread sheet is being reproduced and is attached to this memo. If you review the numbers, you will find that even with the rate increase, the expenses of the Golf Course are expected to exceed revenues by $114,306. With this in mind, I think it is time for us to take a hard look at the transfer from the Golf Course Fund to the Debt Service Fund. As background information, I am providing my understanding of the reason for the transfer. Remember, this is only my understanding. When the Golf Course was voted in, it was a special election and the momentum was provided by a group of local citizens. The City had just held a very comprehensive election when the group decided they wanted to try for a golf course. During the campaign time for the election, information was provided by this group that implied the golf course would pay for itself. This information was not approved by nor sanctioned by the City. The election for the golf course was successful. The election called for the issuance of tax supported debt to complete the course. Even though the City did not indicate the course would pay for itself, it suffered criticism when it did not make payments to the debt service fund. Over the years, several things happened. First, the Golf Course became very popular and is know a very strong asset of the City. Second, the original bonds that were sold were refunded into the 1994 Refunding issue and lost their identity. Third, the Golf Course has made transfers to the Debt Service Fund. At this time, the condition of the golf course requires us to revisit the impact of this transfer. Over the last several years, the golf course fund has transferred $910,000 to the debt service fund. While this amount does not cover the debt incurred by the city, it does make a considerable contribution towards that debt. At this time, the Debt Service Fund is very healthy and does not need the transfer from the Golf Course while the Golf Course Fund is in a cash poor position. I suggest that this topic be discussed during the City Council Retreat. I have attached a copy of the Golf Course Debt Service Schedule for your review. Remember, the debt was issued as General Obligation Debt. o U) O U) O U) O O U) u7 O M w U) M O r '' n' O N (o N O N to o N N W r O N r O a0 r ,3 1` ■ M O O N M V N O V T.. r I∎ O 1 .A V GO (O -.

The City has closed and is now in possession of this property (June 1999). The City has engaged a consultant to develop conceptual schematics for future development of this park site. 15-i LA PORTE LIVESTOCK SHOW & RODEO ASSOCIATION Existing Conditions at Lomax Park Lomax Park consists of 10 acres. Amenities include the Lomax Riding Arena and a 2,500 ft meeting /rental facility. Lomax Park is home to the La Porte Livestock Show and Rodeo Association (LPLSRA). The City of La Porte and the LPLSRA have entered into a long -term agreement to provide rodeo and livestock support for youth and adult rodeo activities for 300 youth and 350 adults in La Porte and surrounding communities. The park is home to the Lomax Riding Arena. This 84,000 ft facility is a joint venture between the City of La Porte and the La Porte Livestock Show and Rodeo Association. It is available for rental by the public. The arena is also available to the public for Open Riding when not being used for an event. The La Porte Girl's Softball Association was previously located at Lomax Park, but was moved to Little Cedar Bayou Park this year (1999). The three existing youth softball fields will be converted to other uses in the future. Identified Needs The Association and the City have worked closely to provide facilities for use by the participants. The recent movement of the LPGSA to Little Cedar Bayou Park has freed up space for expansion by this Association at Lomax Park. The Association has expressed an interest iri building up an escrow fund for their share of the Joint Ventures funding over several years, then matching with their own funding to provide major capital improvements such as the Announcer's Stand and the Exposition Building. Short Term Needs, LPLSRA • Removal of existing softball fields, reallocation of lighting fixtures, poles, and fencing, and drainage work are necessary to accommodate the needs of this Association at Lomax Park. • • Paving of existing parking areas to reduce dust and provide adequate foul weather parking for everyday needs. • Replacement of existing bleachers Long Term Needs, LPLSRA • Consider provision of additional parking facilities to accommodate special event parking and future growth. • Consider installation of Announcer's Stand • An Exposition, Storage, and Meeting Facility is contemplated by the Association for the future to meet their annual Livestock Show and Auction and other special event provision by both the Association and the City.

Currently under construction; upon completion, the amenities will include its bayfront site on Galveston Bay, a 2,500 ft open air pavilion, a concrete walking trail along the bayfront, play equipment, park service equipment, a 500 linear foot fishing pier, and a historic cemetery site. The park construction phase, except for play equipment installation, is expected to be completed by September 1999, weather permitting. Historical Information The conceptual vision of this park was one that looked at approximately five years from inception to completion of the development of this park. We are about a year ahead of that schedule. The petition that necessitated a referendum vote by the public for purchase of the parkland required some change in the anticipated usage of this park. The City of La Porte's stated purpose was to obtain parkland that was not tied to another governmental entity (Le. Sylvan Beach Park); to develop a bayfront park that was uniquely La Porte's. The City proposed that the park would be for "La Porte residents and their guests only ". Now that the park is approaching completion, this issue raises questions regarding its future operation as a City park. Operational Issues There are two primary ways that the City can operate Seabreeze Park. At this time, there is no way to ascertain the demand levels of the park facilities. After the park is opened, a better idea of the demand can be determined. The two options for operation of the park are discussed here: 1. Staffed Operation The Parks and Recreation Department could staff Seabreeze Park during its hours of operation (dawn to dusk). The benefits of this operation would be total control over entry and usage of the park and its facilities. The park is fenced and gated and access could be controlled with relative ease. Staff would be available to handle any problems that may develop, pick up litter, clean and stock restrooms, and assist in maintaining the grounds of the park during its operation. The drawbacks associated with staffed operation are mainly the cost involved in providing staff. This option would require funding a minimum of two new caretaker positions for the Department, at an estimated initial cost of +1- $49,000 per year for personnel and benefits. The staff would need to be supplemented by existing staff to cover vacations, sick, and other personnel - related situations that would normally arise for an operation such as this. This would place an undue burden on the already operation such as this. This would place an undue burden on the already limited supply of caretakers for facility rentals and special event activities conducted by the Department. 2. Un- manned Operation The Parks and Recreation Department could operate Seabreeze Park as a day -use facility that is unlocked at daybreak and locked at dusk each day. Use of the facility could be monitored by Parks staff periodically as well as by the Police Department, to assure that most of the use of park facilities was by La Porte residents and their guests as was contemplated. The drawbacks to this arrangement is that there would be less control over entry and usage by non - residents, allowing potential for vandalism and other unwanted usage of the facilities. The benefit of this arrangement is substantially lowered operating costs, better utilization of existing staff, and a more relaxed atmosphere at the park. The City would retain some control over the situation due to the fenced and gated access to the park operation as a City park. Park Name The Report of the Seabreeze Citizens Committee, as approved by Council in June 1996, was silent as to the name of this park. However, the issue was discussed at length by the committee with several differing points of view. One concern was that there was a negative connotation in some quarters, associated with the name "Seabreeze ", due to the former occupant of the property, the Seabreeze Sailing Club. The committee proposed to have a naming contest by area schoolchildren to determine an official name for the park, but this was not included in the report that was submitted and subsequently approved by Council. Staff's position is that the name "Seabreeze" is quite appropriate, given the almost constant sea breeze that is evident at the park; one of the access streets to the park is named "Seabreeze ", and there is little known opposition to the name or any negative connotation associated with it at the present time. { 1�0� Y e:-� K I W I F B id K > G 3E c\ ZeEE zdE ?RR.< �'f'RK LU > 5 =A B�_ 0 > frA T p 3A7'51-1OR°_ DRIVE Q E sr ao w -� Off me ri • t i , •C ' 41/17-4.1r '', o , • ITTI-II i III'. **. // , c � WM C/-:-.."r, : ll I _ l l _ lll ll�%p� 111 o / A u 1 rwta�. met,.« —,.. . ° ` ��" 4�• ft�suol ... -- � .� ■>� �. , .rte t ..L.

Box 1115 La Porte, TX 77572 -1115 Dear Mr. Herrera: As per previous conversations and an initial agreement between Jeff Litchfield and Dr. Barney Iles, I am officially requesting an additional patrol officer from the City of La Porte to be assigned by the Chief of Police to devote working time to the District schools, specifically to the new De Walt Alternative School campus. The requested assignment would be for the 1999 -2000 school year, commencing August 5, 1999. Approval of this request would bring the total to three (3) patrol officers assigned to our District. The District requests that the agreement entered into between the District and the City of La Porte on August 11, 1998 in regard to the two previously assigned officers, be amended to include this third officer. The District would be in agreement with all sections of the original document with an addendum of an additional payment of $45,000 to the City of La Porte for the third officer. The District reserves the right to be a party in the selection process of the specific officer assigned to the District campus. The time frame is short for approval of this request. Please contact Dr. Barney Iles at (281) 604- 7023 to expedite any mull' - • written agreement or addendum to the original agreement. Thank you for you assistance.

Superintendent for Administration 301 East Fairmont Parkway Superintendent's Office (281) 604 -7015 La Porte, Texas 77571 Business Office (281) 604 -7046 Public Information Office (281) 604 -7001 Instruction (281) 604 -7025 Fax (281) 604 -7010 Personnel Services (281) 604 -7111 a -a Compensation /Classification The City of La Porte budgeted funds in 1985 to hire a consultant to conduct a comprehensive classification and compensation study. Ralph Anderson & Associates (Anderson) presented their report in October, 1986. Anderson developed a survey methodology that included selection of the labor market, identification of survey classes, and the overall data collection process. In addition, they analyzed the labor market, reviewed and revised job descriptions, and made salary recommendations. In the past thirteen years, the City has tried to keep its compensation and classification plans current but it has been difficult. You may recall that in the recent past, we completed a three -year plan to revise the compensation plans for civil service, exempt and clerical employees, and all other non- exempt employees. We have since revised the civil service plan one more time. The Human Resources Division went through an exercise to update each job description to meet ADA requirements. Staff believes that it would benefit the City to have another set of eyes to come in and look at our compensation and classification plans and make recommendations based on labor market analyses. The scope of work would include salary surveys to determine how the City compares to other similar employers in terms of base salary and total compensation. Updating the plan would also: • ensure that the City has the ability to attract and retain well - qualified personnel for all job classes. • ensure that the City's compensation practices are competitive with those of comparable employers, and • ensure that each classification is paid fairly in comparison with other City classifications based on job duties and responsibilities. A3, COMPENSATION I. SALARY ADMINISTRATION The City of La Porte offers a compensation package to its workforce that is believed to be adequate and structured to meet the growing needs of the City. The Human Resources Division (HRD) maintains a position classification plan for all budgeted positions within the City. All positions are assigned an official classification title, a formal description of duties, and minimum qualifications. HRD also maintains salary schedules and a salary administration plan. There are five (5) salary schedules within the City: 1. Exempt — These positions have managerial or supervisory responsibilities and are not eligible for overtime. Examples in this category include Department Directors, Division Managers, and Superintendents. Exhibit A 2. Non - Exempt — Positions that are the front line skilled workers who are eligible for overtime. They rarely have supervisory responsibilities. Examples are Equipment Operators, Inspectors, Court Clerks, and Secretaries. Exhibit 8 3. Civil Service — In 1981, after an election by the citizens, City Council adopted the Civil Service statute of the Local Government Code. Although the law allows coverage to both Fire and Police, a decision was made that only the Police Department would be Civil Service. The statute governs all certified Police Officers below the rank of Assistant Chief. Exhibit C 4. Fire /EMS — Twenty -four (24) hour shift personnel serving as Fire Engineers and Paramedics, all of whom are eligible for overtime. Exhibit b 5. Part Time — There are certain positions within the Parks & Recreation Department that do not require full time employees. These positions are filled with part time personnel who work anywhere from twenty (20) to thirty -five (35) hours per week. There are other part time employees hired by Parks & Recreation and the Golf Course who work only during the summer months. The Police Department also employs seasonal employees as school crossing guards during the school year. In addition, the EMS Division hires relief personnel to cover those shifts not manned by regular employees due to vacation or illness. None of these part time positions are eligible for benefits other than FICA and workers' compensation. Exhibit E II. PLAN CONCEPTS A newly appointed employee shall ordinarily be compensated at the lowest step of the salary range (entry level) of the position being appointed to. The City Manager may approve the hiring of an employee above the entry level when the employee's qualifications exceed the minimum established for the position. Supervisors evaluate Exempt, Non - Exempt, Fire, EMS, and Regular Part Time (year round) employees twice per year. Their first evaluation is due six months from the date of hire and they are then eligible for a salary increase based on their performance of their assigned job duties, per the salary administration plan. Employees are then eligible for an increase on an annual basis thereafter - Exhibit F. 1 a3 -a Civil Service employees are evaluated twice per year by their supervisor. Their salary increases are based on length of service, with the first being one (1) year from date of hire and annually thereafter. Seasonal Part Time employees are evaluated by their supervisor at the end of the season and are eligible for an increase upon returning the following year. III. ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION In addition to normal wages, certain employees are eligible for additional compensation outlined below. Certification Pav The City recognizes that certification in an employee's area of responsibility increases productivity and shows a commitment by that individual to be the best that they can be. Certification Pay Plans are a part of the annual budget process and any changes must be approved during that time. Exhibit G Departments that offer certification pay are Fire /EMS, Police, Public Works, Planning, Finance, and the Golf Course Maintenance Division. Clothing and Cleaning Allowances All Public Safety uniformed personnel within the City are paid $9.25 per pay period ($240.50 per year) to help defray the cost of keeping their uniforms clean. (All field personnel including Planning Department Inspectors and Public Works Superintendents are provided uniforms that are cleaned by a contractor on a weekly basis) Criminal Investigation Lieutenant, Sergeant and Detectives, and the Administrative Lieutenant are paid $500 per year to offset the cost of wearing their own clothes to work. Tool Allowance Senior Mechanics, Mechanics, and the Paint & Body Shop Technician in Public Works are paid $200 per year to offset the cost of buying their own tools. Mechanic Assistants are paid $100 per year for the same reason. Standby Pav Field personnel in Public Works, Parks & Recreation, the Warehouse Coordinator in the Purchasing Division, and Meter Readers are paid $10 per day for each non -work day that they are on standby. If they are called in, they are paid overtime for actual hours worked, in addition to the $10 per day. 2 a a- � Car Allowance The City Manager and Assistant City Manager are paid a monthly car allowance of $400. The Director of Public Works is paid a monthly car allowance of $350. The Director of Finance /ACM is paid a monthly car allowance of $300. The Director of Administrative Services is paid a monthly car allowance of $250. Monthly Stipend Officers of the Volunteer Fire Department are paid a monthly stipend of $65.56, $110.33, or $354.45, depending on rank. Contract The Golf Course Manager /Pro has a contract with the City of La Porte, authorized by City ordinance, whereby he is paid an annual salary, plus the following percentage of gross revenues received by the City after the first 40,000 rounds of annual play: Green Fees - 7 %, Cart Rentals — 15%. Shift Differential The City has implemented a shift differential for sworn officers in the Police Department. Officers assigned to the evening shift (3:00 pm to 11:00 pm) are paid an additional $.75 per hour ($1,560 per year). Officers assigned to the night shift (11:00 pm to 7:00 am) are paid an additional $1.00 per hour ($2,080 per year). 3 a3-� EXHIBIT A This Pay for Performance Salary Table is for management and supervisory positions that are not eligible for overtime. The concept under this plan allows the City to hire an individual into a classification range for which he /she is qualified. The range number, the entry level and control point were first determined by the Ralph Anderson study which was completed in 1985 and implemented in 1986. This comprehensive study made comparisons of the City's job descriptions and those in surrounding cities as well as private industry to determine classification ranges. Since that time several in house salary surveys have been completed to revise the original plan. Each exempt classification is assigned a range, i.e., Street Superintendent — Range 114, Meter Reader Supervisor 108. A newly hired employee who meets the minimum qualifications would ordinarily be hired at the entry level. Applicants who exceed the minimum qualifications may be hired at a level exceeding the entry level if recommended by the Department Director, reviewed by the Human Resources Division, and approved by the City Manager. During the employee's pay for performance review, the supervisor may grant an employee an increase based on the employee's performance for the previous 12 months. See Exhibit F. Depending on the review, the employee may receive nothing for a needs improvement review, between 2% and 5% for a satisfactory rating, between 6% and 7% for an excellent rating, or between 8% and 10% for a superior rating. All superior ratings must be approved by the City Manager. An employee who remains with the City, will eventually reach the control point for their range. This amount, based on several factors, is the most the City of La Porte is willing to pay for that position. Once the control point is reached, the employee is eligible for lump sum bonuses, based on performance. However, their hourly rate will not change unless they are promoted, granted a base salary adjustment, or their position is upgraded. 4 A3-5 EXHIBIT A .. ,,, , ,.,..,.,„.„ ..,,..•„.„„„::,:::,,,,„:„,„„,,,,,i,....4wv1*.ve,41R-.6.\,,,,,,,,v. ..::..a.,::::.,.,,,..,..„.., :!:": , A ,, ,,,...„..,,...„.„::,:-. , ,,, ..,„,,,,,,,,:,,,,,,,,„:„.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,„.,.. ,,,..- ,,,...,,„. ..k.

The concept for this plan is the same as that of the exempt salary schedule. Each non - exempt classification is assigned a range, i.e., Senior Equipment Operator — Range S, Equipment Operator 11 — Range P, Equipment Operator I — Range K, Secretary 11 (Departmental Secretary) — Range J, Secretary I — Range F. Again, a newly appointed employee may be hired at a range higher than entry level if they exceed minimum qualifications, are recommended by the Department Director, reviewed by Human Resources, and approved by the City Manager. During the employee's pay for performance review, the supervisor may grant an employee an increase based on the employee's performance for the previous 12 months. See Exhibit F. Depending on the review, the employee may receive nothing for a needs improvement review, 2'/% for a satisfactory rating, 5% for an excellent rating, or 7 for a superior rating. All superior ratings must be approved by the City Manager. An employee who remains with the City will eventually reach the control point for their range, which in this case, would be step 19. This amount, based on several factors, is the most the City of La Porte is willing to pay for that position. Once the control point is reached, the employee is eligible for lump sum bonuses, based on performance. However, their hourly rate will not change unless they are promoted, granted a base salary adjustment, or their position is upgraded. a3 -7 . .:, z.. ; :i /: � :: :r! ^i:K ) }. h: . •• %h: �,C.,;,yv- Fhi }i} ?vX^Y y : Y /::.:.0 Hh \':,y' . !C S9 'l {?�� F !k / f } trk lt.

EXHIBIT C The Civil Service Salary Schedule is for all certified Police Officers below the rank of Assistant Chief. The Civil Service Statute, §143 of the Local Government Code, states that all police officers in the same classification are entitled to the same base salary. However, it also states that each police officer is entitled to seniority pay, if applicable. The City of La Porte, through the Civil Service Ordinance, adopted this concept in that the base salary is the hourly rate a beginning police officer makes. Seniority pay is added for each year of service. The hiring process for a police officer is much different than other employees. A written exam is given and those applicants who pass the exam are placed on an eligibility list by score. When an opening exists, the Police Department is given a list of the highest scores and begins a background investigation. Once this is completed, the applicant must go through a process that includes a drug test, physical, psychological examination, polygraph, and interview board. If the applicant passes all phases of the process, his or her name is then given to the Chief for consideration. If no one passes all phases, another list of applicants with the next highest scores is given to the Police Department to start the process all over again If the successful applicant is hired and is a certified police officer, he or she begins their field training from a Field Training Officer (FTO). If not certified, the City must find an academy from another agency that will allow the City to place applicants. Once the academy is complete, the officer then begins the field training. Police Officers are evaluated twice per year by their supervisor and their pay increases on their anniversary date each year. The percentage of increase varies each year. A Police Officer reaches control point after 7 years with the City. This amount, based on several factors, is the most the City of La Porte is willing to pay for that position. Once the control point is reached, the Police Officer is eligible for a lump sum bonus, based on number of years with the City. However, their hourly rate will not change unless they are promoted, granted a base salary adjustment, or their position is upgraded. .23-9 EXHIBIT C City of La Porte Civil Service Salary Schedule Effective 01/15/99 • F v Months of 0 -12 12 -24 24 -36 36-48 48-60 60 -72 72-84 84+ Service CS1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 }•r .. � }: .;.{�::.;th�.; • :f:• £ �.}2: •ar,: M1 C•'r �,: .:. .• :w .:. ?:., ,. .. .}; }.: -:` , y,` ; : 'i� . :{ ;;.:Y�t•. < Y. ;: };6:;. x.. ...,?...,:::......;.:4.W. ! }'f- ' }: .,a ' }. . .y�' - .•: 4��y{.^..,, .: i;...::}` :tx ;rY.• Months of 0 -12 12 -24 24 -36 36+ Service CS2 1 2 3 4 ..Fn•.v..{..

The concept for this salary schedule is the same as that of regular employees' non - exempt schedule with one exception. All other employees' salaries are based on a year of 2,080 hours. Twenty -four hour shift personnel salaries are based on 2,756 hours per year. In December 1995, line employees EMS Division questioned the City's policy of paying them overtime under §7(k) exemption of the Fair Labor Standards Act. This exemption allows cities to treat 24 hour shift personnel in a fire department differently in the payment of overtime. It allows payment of overtime based on a 28 day cycle with 212 hours being the threshold for overtime rather than the normal 40 hours per week. This complaint was a result of a court decision, which found for paramedics in Chicago stating that the EMS employees were being unfairly compensated. The courts ruled that although EMS divisions are usually part of a fire department, their jobs are not the same and can not be covered under the exemption. The City of La Porte reviewed the policy in effect at the time and decided to revise it. Employees of the EMS Division still work 24 hour shifts but are now paid overtime for all hours over 40 each week. To compensate for what would have been an enormous increase in their overtime budget, the City adjusted the hourly rates to allow the employees to continue to receive an annual salary equal to what they had received in the past. EMS employees work one 24 hour shift and have two off. With this plan in place, each shift employee in EMS receives "automatic" overtime each month of 56 hours. This was taken into account in determining annual salaries. The pay for performance increases, as well as lump sum options, are the same as that of regular non - exempt employees. / Vi/ / % ;z. in r co M • a3 / 4; 4 M W ao r a c /• / ' • ; 1— r r r- r ... r !,, 4 • // • t0 M d C) M ? • f. . / 0 N to a0 'It O /c %;: : : >:: r N N N M f j M / ' S, r r r r r r r ' l. i ;;,< :% x j: O co M r t0 • r / • • a0 co N to r 1.

All of these positions are eligible for overtime, if applicable, but are not eligible for benefits except FICA and workers' compensation coverage. Regular Part Time employees are those employees that work year round in a position that requires them to be at work less than 40 hours per week. Examples of these positions are Recreation Specialist and Sylvan Beach Caretaker. Seasonal Part Time Employees are those employees that work only during the summer. Examples of these positions include Lifeguards and Golf Course Worker I. These employees may work 40 hours. Part Time EMS are sometimes referred to "Relief Paramedics" and work shifts or parts of shifts that are short due to vacation or sickness. The pay for performance concept is different for each of these schedules. Regular Part Time employees' pay for performance options are the same as for non - exempt employees. Seasonal Part Time employees are eligible for an increase upon returning to work the following year. Part Time EMS are eligible for an increase after six months if they have worked a minimum of 144 hours. There are no lump sum provisions for part time employees. 4 3 -13 EXHIBIT E CITY OF LA PORTE REGULAR PART TIME EMPLOYEE - SALARY SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE 09/01/97 RANGE 1 2 3 4 5 6 PRA 5.15 5.25 5.50 5.75 6.00 N/A PRB 5.50 5.75 6.00 6.25 6.50 6.75 PRC 6.00 6.25 6.50 6.75 7.00 7.25 Regular Part Time employees shall be eligible for a one step increase after completion of introductory period and annually thereafter.

CLOTHING ALLOWANCE: None CLEANING ALLOWANCE: None :02a RETIREE MEDICAL INSURANCE In 1993, Council asked staff to review the policy of covering retirees and their spouses on the City's medical plan. At that time the cost to the retiree was: Retiree Only $ 81.39 per month Retiree and Spouse $203.46 per month City Council made a policy decision that retirees' medical insurance should be paid by the City. It was pointed out that someone could work for another city for 23 years and come to work for the City of La Porte for two years and "retire" with paid medical. This was based on the 25 year any age option of the Texas Municipal Retirement System. The policy was revised, based on the number of years the employee worked for La Porte. Each year, an amount of money is budgeted for current employees and retirees, which is placed in the medical fund to pay claims. The amount for each employee has been static the past few years at $4,500. The adopted policy states that: Retirees with less than 10 years service with the City of La Porte are not eligible for coverage with the City except for those provided by COBRA. Retirees with at least 10 years service with the City of La Porte, pay 20% of the annual amount, or $900. ($4,500 x 20% = $900) Retirees with at least 15 years service with the City of La Porte, pay 10% of the annual amount, or $450. ($4,500 x 10% = $450) Retirees with at least 20 years service with the City of La Porte, pay nothing. In addition to any option above, dependents are covered at a rate equal to the amount charged to current employees for dependent coverage. Child or children only $520 per year Spouse only $598 per year Family $676 per year In all options, retire shall mean that an employee has met the requirements outlined in the Texas Municipal Retirement Act and is receiving a monthly annuity from TMRS. An employee, who elects to take a lump sum distribution from TMRS, regardless of years with the City of La Porte, is not eligible for retiree medical coverage. That lump sum distribution is the entire amount the employee has contributed and its accrued interest. None of the City's contribution is included in any lump sum. The City of La Porte recently adopted a TMRS option, allowing employees to retire, at any age, with 20 years service. This revised the former adopted policy of 25 years at any age. The medical coverage policy did not change. At a recent Council meeting, the City recognized an employee who retired at the end of June. He had worked for the City 16 years and had bought his military time, (4 years) which allowed him to retire with 20 years in the TMRS system. His insurance will be covered per the policy above and he will pay the City $450 per year. His spouse is covered where she works and he declined coverage for her. Another example is a current employee who is 42 years old with 22 years of service with the City. If he retired now, his monthly annuity would be $1,682. His insurance would be paid by the City due to him having more than 20 years with the City. Neither one of these employees would be eligible for insurance coverage (other than COBRA) if they decided to take the entire amount of their contributions out of the TMRS system. The City has a total of 27 retirees, 25 of which have remained on the City's insurance. Fifteen of those have dependent coverage. 2y -2 CITY OF LA PORTE TRASH SCHEDULE STUDY JULY 1999 Steve Gillett, Director of Public Works Buddy Jacobs, Assistant Director of Public Works Phillip Webb, Solid Waste Superintendent TRASH SCHEDULE STUDY INTRODUCTION The City of La Porte currently operates a heavy trash collection system that provides service to residents on a bi- weekly basis. Residents receive service over a two -day period every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on holiday scheduling. Trash is not collected on Mondays, as this day is set aside for other activities, including recycling processing, brush processing (chipping and compost turning), oil recycling, and other tasks. The City Council has requested a study to determine the costs of increasing the frequency of trash collection to once per week. The following is an analysis of the history of trash collection in the City, the costs associated with this activity, and the costs associated with increasing the frequency to once per week collection. HISTORY Before October 1986, the City of La Porte operated a once per week trash collection schedule. This activity included two (2) trash crews composed of three (3) Operator I's and one (1) Operator III, for a total of eight (8) employees. The 1986 -87 Budget reduced the frequency of collection from once per week to once per month. Trash personnel were reduced from two four (4) man crews to one three (3) man crew. This action was in response to a citywide budget reduction. In May 1987, the City Council approved a budget amendment that increased collection frequency from once per month to twice per month, in response to citizen requests. This amendment increased the trash crew from three to four employees, and increased the annual budget by $32,885. The new collection schedule included five (5) zones, with a two -day collection cycle for each zone. Zone schedules that fell on the end of the week were collected on both Friday and Monday. In June 1991, with the start-up of the City's drop -off recycling program, the trash collection schedule omitted the Monday after recycling Saturday, to allow processing of recycling materials. This eliminated 50 % of the Friday/Monday trash days. In response to resident concerns regarding the Friday/Monday split, growth demands on the limited manpower, and the need to begin an aggressive composting program to reduce landfill fees, all trash collection on Mondays was eliminated in June 1994. Mondays were now devoted to recycling and composting processing. Additionally, catch -up of unfinished zones and special collections were performed on Mondays. a5 -a CURRENT SITUATION During the budget of 1997 -98, growth of the city required the addition of personnel to keep up with the increasing number of residents. In order to efficiently utilize manpower, an additional three -man crew was added to collect garbage on Mondays and Tuesdays, the heaviest garbage days. The remainder of the week these employees worked trash. Splitting of these duties allowed the City to accommodate increasing demands on garbage and trash while reducing the number of new employees needed for approximately three (3) years. The city is currently divided into five (5) zones. Each zone is collected two to three times per month, with individual homes collected on one of two days each scheduled pickup. Due to the volume of trash and the number of homes, there is rarely time to re -run the route for late putouts. When growth exceeds the ability of the Solid Waste Division to collect garbage and trash with existing manpower, the three -man crew added in 1997 will be utilized exclusively for garbage, and an increase in the trash crew of two to three employees will be required. Continued growth at the current rate will require this change to be made in the FY 2000/01 Budget Year. PROPOSED SCHEDULE The City Council has requested that staff examine the feasibility of providing once per week trash collection. In response to this request, the Public Works Department has performed an analysis of the request, examining the personnel and equipment needs, as well as its effect on other operations of the Solid Waste Division. Because of the interrelated nature of the garbage, trash and recycling operations, increasing frequency of trash collection will also affect garbage and recycling operations. The fourth garbage crew is currently spending 50% of its time collecting trash. Within two years, this crew will be needed to collect garbage only, requiring the addition of a two to three man crew for trash. This increase will be required to continue to provide the current level of trash service two to three times per month. Additionally, with once per week collection, trash collection on Monday would have to be reestablished, requiring the addition of manpower to perform recycling and composting duties currently provided by trash personnel. a5 -3 The proposed schedule would require the addition of three employees for trash collection, as well as two additional employees to perform recycling/composting duties now performed on Mondays. One additional picker truck and two additional trash truck will be required for this schedule. The total annual cost for the current and revised trash schedule is illustrated on Attachment A and B. Currently, trash collection under the current schedule costs $431,273, or $3.98 per month per resident. The total annual cost for trash collection once per week would be $690,253, or $6.37 per resident per month. The is an increase of $258,980, and does not include start-up capital costs of $198,034 for initial equipment purchases, nor does it include the requirement to add an additional two (2) employees and equipment in two years when growth will require a full -time 4 garbage route. SUMMARY In summary, the total annual cost and monthly cost per resident for each scenario is illustrated on Attachment C. Maintaining the current trash schedule costs $431,273 annually, or $3.98 per resident per month. Converting the trash schedule to once per week will result in an annual cost of $690,253 annually or $6.37 per month. Additionally, first -year start-up costs will add $198,034 for equipment. Finally, continued growth will require increasing employees and equipment in FY 2000/01 regardless of the trash schedule. This will result in an annual budget of $537,799, or $4.96 per resident per month to maintain the current schedule. Once per week collection will be $796,777 annually, or $7.35 per month per resident.

Initially, bags were delivered to each resident, biannually, by Solid Waste crews. After numerous complaints of damaged shrubbery and houses, and the problem of neighborhood pilferage, the city began distribution of bags at City Hall, using redeemable cards for inventory control. This system initially distributed bags for a two (2) week period, and later went to three (3) weeks. CURRENT SYSTEM For a three (3) week period, in August and February, city crews are available in the City Hall parking lot to redeem two rolls of bags for a card mailed by Customer Service. Two (2) Solid Waste employees (trash crew) each man the site for 1 /2 of the daily handout period (6:30 AM 6:30 PM) to staffs the site, supplemented by one (1) Parks Department employee from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Additionally, crews hand out heavy trash schedules during the August handout. PROPOSED SYSTEM There has been interest expressed in expanding the handout location to two (2) locations, with one on the west side of town. The concept, as requested, would no replace the existing handout location, but serve as alternative location. The proposal could include two (2) full -time locations (three weeks) or only be available for one (1) week. The proposal could also include Saturday at the satellite location, although this is not current practice. Regardless of the time period, additional personnel will be needed. For simplicity, the estimated costs will be calculated weekly. Two (2) Trash crewmen will be utilized to man the site. This is done to prevent possible pilferage by temporary employees. Two (2) temporary employees will be needed to replace the trash crewman to ensure that heavy trash is collected on schedule. Should Saturday handout be included, overtime for two employees would be required. Location is also an issue. The initial request is from the Brookglen area. Initial locations included the Brookglen Recreation Center. However, Brookglen is located in the far western portion of La Porte. A more centrally located site would be in the area of the Fairmont Park Recreation Center or the old Fire Station on Hillridge. These locations are centrally located in the population of western La Porte. Additionally, plastic garbage bags are stored at the old Fairmont Fire Station. acs -a COST ESTIMATES Cost per Five Day Week • Two Trash Crewmen for one week (80 hrs @$11.56) $ 924.80 • Two temporary for one week (80 hrs @ $10.92) 823.20 Cost per Five Day Week $1,748.00 Cost per Six Day Week • Two Trash Crewmen for one week (80 hrs @$11.56) $ 924.80 • Two temporary for one week (80 hrs @ $10.92) 823.20 • Two Trash Crewmen for one day (16 hrs @ $17.34) 277.44 Cost per Six Day Week $2,025.44 DISCUSSION Other issues will surface if this proposal is implemented. One is unscheduled overtime for heavy trash pickup due to shortage of personnel. One location is frequently a problem. Two locations will almost certainly require an unknown amount of overtime to keep up with the schedule. A frequent problem with the current system is cards. Many residents show up for bags without cards. This requires that they go into City Hall to get a replacement card. If a resident goes to a satellite location without a card, they will still have to go to City Hall to get a replacement. Finally, the current method of printing cards in -house for mailing will not be possible. The City's billing system is not capable of printing the amount of text necessary to explain the change. Printing will have to be contracted at a cost of $ ?. Additionally, other means of communication will be necessary because most residents do not read the cards, but know though past experience to get bags at City Hall. Without a significant publicity campaign, the satellite location may be under- utilized. a4- 3 CITY OF LA PORTE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Memo _ ��, To: Robert T. Herrera, City Manager From:Steve Gillett, Director of Public Works , ":0111111' CC: John Joems, Assistant City Manager Date: 02/03/99 Re: Plastic Garbage Bag Handout In response to your request for information regarding the feasibility of a bag handout location on the West End of La Porte, I offer the following comments. 1. I was approached by Chuck Engelken, Councilman District 2, regarding this request. Citizens from his district want a location closer than City Hall to pick up bags. He suggested two locations during the three -week handout period, to be operated simultaneously, or operating one location for a portion of the handout period, and moving to the second location for the remainder of the period. 2. Operation of two locations simultaneously would require two additional personnel for the second location, as well as additional personnel to deliver bags when a location runs out. As currently operated, the Solid Waste Division must use trash collection personnel. Operation of two locations would essentially shut down all trash collection for the three -week period. Additionally, many residents show up without cards. They are required to go to Customer Service and have their account looked up to verify eligibility before receiving bags. This would be impossible with two locations. Finally, any location selected on the West End of town would require sanitary facilities. 3. Operation of two locations for a portion of the handout period would not require any additional personnel. However, the problem of verifying eligibility for having no card, as well as locating a suitable location, remains. Additionally, the card would have to list the dates for each location. With citizens used to picking up bags at City Hall, it is likely that many would fail to notice the new location, and Page 1 c ? L come to City Hall for bags. This will result in increased complaints, and is likely to increase walk -in traffic from citizens demanding bags. Customer Service would be unable to stock sufficient quantities of bags, and restocking at an accelerated rate would increase personnel costs and reduce trash collection efforts. Of the two proposals, the split handout outlined in 3 above is the most cost- effective way to provide bag handout in the westem portion of the City. However, increased complaints and the confusion that will result will have to be weighed against the complaints from citizens in West La Porte having to go to City Hall for bags. If you have any questions, please advise. a 1 -s 713629601 P. MAY -14 -1999 16 :58 H-& r , 0 0 00 Ara ire Topic of discussion for May 16,1999 1.

See attached memo from EMS Chief Chris Osten DRAINAGE CHANNEL MAINTENANCE HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF LA PORTE Steve Gillett, Director of Public Works Orville Burgess, Street Superintendent ai- 1 DRAINAGE CHANNEL MAINTENANCE INTRODUCTION The Harris County Flood Control District ( "the District ") operates and maintains a series of flood control channels within the City of La Porte. The City of La Porte also operates a drainage system that complements the District's system. Frequently, however, the maintenance responsibilities of each entity are unclear. CURRENT SYSTEM The District currently maintains channels within the City of La Porte on an "as- needed" basis. With the exception of mowing, which is scheduled two times per year, all other maintenance is generated on a complaint basis. Removal of brush and debris, channel cleaning and outfall repair is primarily generated by complaints, with work scheduled for contracting or in -house repair as funds are available. Mowing crews currently perform limited maintenance in the winter months when mowing is discontinued. The District investigates citizen service requests within four weeks. Attached is a copy of District policies. The District has, in the past, had difficulty identifying channels it maintains. The designation of a channel number does not necessarily mean it is maintained by the District. Recently, the District identified and mapped all channels that are owned by the District. The District is currently working on an inventory of channels that lie within ROW's or easements owned by other political subdivisions. Until this work is completed, only those channels owned by the District will be maintained by the District. The City of La Porte maintains the channels not currently maintained by the District. Due to the size and scope of these channels, the City maintains these channels on an "as- needed" basis. The City attempts to mow these channels twice per year, with citizen service requests investigated within two days. For those requests that are beyond the scope of the City's abilities and equipment, the District is contacted for assistance. Mixed response has been met with these requests. The primary problem is lack of shared knowledge by both entities on ownership. The need for a comprehensive inventory is a high priority for both the District and the City. Additionally, the need for an annual inspection and needs assessment is a high priority with the City. In order to improve maintenance of all channels within the city, the City will amend its current program to improve coordination and communication with the District, as well as enhance the city's program. a� -a PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS The District's written policy states that it will consider addition of channels within another political subdivision's ROW to the District's active maintenance log. These additions must be approved by Commissioner's Court and covered by an interlocal agreement. The District is in the process of compiling an inventory of channels that fall within this area. The City of La Porte will actively pursue addition of major channels that fall within this definition. In an effort to move maintenance from a complaint basis to a planned basis, the City of La Porte will conduct annual inspection of all major channels, both District and City - maintained. The inspection will produce a list of maintenance needs for both entities, which should allow for improved scheduling and maintenance of all channels. The inspection will be conducted in the late fall to allow the District to include maintenance funds in the annual budget, which begins in March. This will ensure that maintenance needs are included in the District's annual budget, and allow enough lead time for contract maintenance to be bid and awarded in time for the District's contracting period, which starts in the spring and goes through the summer. Any maintenance that is not contracted can be performed by District personnel in the winter months. It will be important that a good line of communication be established and maintained with the District. Communication of maintenance needs to coincide with their budget cycle, together with regular follow -up, will greatly improve maintenance of District channels. The City will also obtain a schedule of planned maintenance by the District to keep informed of their activities. The City of La Porte will also follow this format to maintain channels not maintained by the District. With timely inspection and scheduling, the City will be able to reduce demand maintenance and move toward scheduled maintenance. Maintenance of channels by the City will include mowing twice per year, followed up with herbicide treatment to retard growth. Brush and debris removal will be performed in the winter, following the annual inspection. Channel improvements will be evaluated annually and contracted or performed in- house, depending on the size and scope of the improvement. The proposed budget for next year includes a request for two (2) additional drainage personnel and one (1) employee and slope mower. This request will accommodate increased maintenance responsibilities due to growth, and will replace two personnel that have been performing concrete construction and maintenance for the past several years. It will also accommodate the proposed increase in inspection and maintenance of large channels. Finally, the ability of the city to perform mowing of deep channels will be enhanced by the addition of a second slope mower. S SECTION 7.01 MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY AND CRITERIA A. MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY The District's fundamental responsibility and authorization for maintenance was set out in 1947, Acts of 50th Legislature, providing for a tax to enable the District to maintain facilities "owned or constructed by the District." The most recent adjustment of that authority accomplished by voter approval in 1977 provided for a tax up to 15 cents per hundred dollars assessed valuation for the same purpose. When apparent lack of ownership stopped the District's ability to maintain some of the county's ditches in 1990, Commissioners Court gave the District some policy guidance, first instructing the District to maintain all ditches in its countywide system "in accordance with the law," and then approving two sets of guidelines summarized below. The District now attempts to maintain: 1. ditches in of Harris County serving area -wide drainage and lying in rights -of -way conveyed to the District. 2. ditches in the unincorporated area of Harris County lying in rights -of -way conveyed to Harris County or the Public which were on the District's "active maintenance log" in 1989. (Routine maintenance only) 3. ditches in the unincorporated area of Harris County lying in rights -of -way conveyed to Harris County which have been accepted onto the "active maintenance log" by Commissioners Court and are covered by approved interlocal agreements. 4. ditches inside cities lying in rights -of -way conveyed to the Public and accepted onto the "active maintenance log" by Commissioners Court. 5. ditches inside cities in rights -of -way conveyed to the County or a city which have been accepted onto the " active maintenance log" by Commissioners Court and are covered by approved interlocal agreements. Excluded from the District's maintenance responsibility are: 1. ditches not designated in 1 through 5, above; in particular the following: a. roadside ditches b. ditches (not in easements) on private property c. ditches in easements dedicated to the Public or the County, if not covered in item 2 above d. ditches in easements dedicated to the Public or a city, if not covered in item 5 above. ai- ct 7.01 -2 B. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance activities, performed by District personnel or by private contractors, include: 1. mowing and herbiciding of channels, 2. removing drifts, snags and debris from channels, 3. minor clearing, and 4. fertilizing and /or grass seeding of channels. Generally, mowing and herbiciding are performed twice per year, while the other activities are done on an as needed basis. C. MAJOR MAINTENANCE Major maintenance consists of repairs to channels to restore previous capacity or configuration, as opposed to enlarging capacity, and is performed exclusively by private contractors selected through competitive bidding and managed by District Construction Management Personnel. Since major maintenance clearly involves new expenditure of maintenance tax funds (as enabled by the legislature and authorized by the voters), no "major" maintenance is done until ownership in fee or easement is obtained by the County Right -of -Way Department in behalf of the District or until the expenditure is enabled by appropriate interlocal agreement. Typical major maintenance includes: 1. repairing bank failures, 2. repairing erosion of channel banks or bottoms, 3. desilting channels and /or culverts, 4. regrading and /or restoring back slope drainage systems, 5. repairing and /or replacing concrete channel linings or other slope protection, and 6. repairing outfalls to channels, and 7. major clearing. Major maintenance projects are funded by a part of the District's annual budget, allocated equally to each Precinct ($1.0 million for FY 93 and $1.25 million for FY 94 for each precinct). These projects are often generated by the Service Request Procedure outlined in Section 8. Although each prospective repair project is considered on an individual basis, typical conditions evaluated in selecting major maintenance projects include: 1. availability of right -of -way, 2. severity of problem, including threat to nearby improvements, 3. nature and cost of repair, aI -s 7.01 -3 4. priority of repair in comparison to other identified problems, 5. consequences of no action, and 6. priority for solving the problem established in consulation with Precinct staff. D. MASTER UNIT LIST In June, 1945, the present numbering system was created to identify and catalog man -made channels and existing waterways in the County. The numbering system neither reflects ownership by the District or any other public entity, nor identifies property rights or commitment to maintenance. As such, considerable confusion is generated by the existence of the numbering system and the absence of a "ditch log," analogous to the road log with which County personnel are familiar. To overcome that confusion, the District is engaged in a program to develop such a "ditch log," or Master Unit List, so that Commissioners Court can formalize and document maintenance responsibilities "in accordance with the law" and in accordance with the principles outlined in Sections "A," "B," and "C." Precinct staffs will be included in the final stages of developing the Master List so that Commissioners can be thoroughly briefed before formal adoption of the list is recommended. z O V } } c4*-- o Z Z z z Z Z z z F- F- O O (1) V) N Z r' O 0 z O W o G W w 0 1- 0 < < Q Q Q Q Q Q 0 W� o _ Z Z Z Z N Zz z z 2 coal m H 0000 W U C re OP. g W U > O O %--- CO V' LC) 0 A---,- N 'Till O O 9 9 9 9 9 99 9 99 Z W Z co 0o 0 N M O 0 0 c'7 d' O -) N C O) O) 0 0 0 0 0) 00 O 00 O z -- cR dZ O Ju) W z a o 0 o a LL a s o Z z Q} 2 } 2 cc Qa O a Ow Z Z o o Q co 0 gNg Z > o LLz a � H =H wo Q cow cow V O 2 2 20 5w5 1 -2 = jW Z zo- w i x �Q� 01- L o ~0 wu _ co =O wZ 2.:>z W a zwz z zI-z�ozZOQ> o o O O Ow OoO� OwwD< Q Z F_ Z F_ w F_ o a F_ Z F_ Z D F_ 00 00 F- x o_ - o < NC QQ QQ aa QQ a¢ a.¢ O N N ON Ce(nW 2 1-L 2a _ F- w 0 J U) _I E5 :3 c) 0 : uuJW _J O -~ M ><wOw wW- Jwwww O� w ' OI- uj w z 2 -'OZ . z oza z z= z 0 = cezozLz- �Ozi- z1- � zw ?i-2 zf zg UqqJ W `nl- <cemz� <-, <D w v[LU >-UF-o cOo U° - m0 ( ~ nc00C) D U� ULL.
