I~2Es :: ' '~ t~ ([A S s,,, ~~ ~`~`~! .,~, ~_- .;`~ ?.s.J fy C~ The City of La Porte has already passed an ordinance annexing this area on first reading. Should this annexation be completed before the water district can be formed and can issue and deliver its bonds, then this annexation would completely stop and would dissolve the water district. Therefore Nfr. Duncan has requested the City to give him an expression to the effect that the City has no objection to the creation of this district and tha t it does not intend to complete the annexation until the district has been completed and funds have been made available for the construction of water and sewer facilities. Trlhereas the State Statutes provide that wl'ien a city annexes an w entire fresh water supply district or water control and improvement dis- trict, then the City acquires all of the assets of this district and assumes all of the debts of this district. It is the position of the City of La Porte that it is fully justified in asking that the developer agree to the following conditions: (a) It is intended that the Board of Supervi sots of the proposed District will submit to the City of La Porte all plans and specifications for the construction. of j' water and sewer facilities and that these plans and 9 specifications meet the City of La Porte standards. (b) That all water and sewer facilities constructed will be so designed that they will be readily integrated with the City of La Porte facilities should they be extended to this area. (c) It is understood that the owners and developers intend to have Mr. Ernest L~ Brawn, ~,, employed as Fiscal Agent for this District and have Mr.Brawn instructed to keep in mind the City of La Porte and its financial position in determining all terms and conditions of the proposed bonds to be sold by the Fresh Water Supply District.. (d) That the District give serious consideration to the possibility of tying the proposed District system into the City of La Porte system, This proposition is a suggestion that these matters be explored and of course if it is determined that this procedure is both feasible and economical then it would be the wishes of the City Commission t':iat it be carried out. L Subject to the written acceptance of the conditions contained in this resolution the City Commission does hereby assure all interested parties that so long as this development is carried out in a manner consistent with the future demands of the area and acceptable to the City of La Porte, then it is not the intention of the City Commission to annex this area until after the District has been created and monies have been made available for the construction of the water and sewer facilities within the area and assuming that this project will be ca tried through to completion within the normal length of time. r.:~ C~ J • The City Cornmi-ssion 7~ashes to clearly state that this is an expression of intent made in good faith.
