Re: Request for Quit claim from City
to present owners of lots 16,17,
18, and 19, Block 185, Town of
LaPorte, Harris County, Texas.
Gentlemen:
In connection with the ownership of the captioned property I have examined ti
records of Harris County, Texas, and the same discloses a cloud on the title
thereof by reason of a tax suit filed in 1923 under Cause number 104781,
by the City of LaPorte against one C. S. Penfield and C. E. Hunn, Defendants
The suit being brought for delinquent taxes owning on parts of said lots.
A careful search of the records does not disclose evidence that said
Defendants at any time ever held a vested legal interest in the property.
However, a judgment in favor of the City was obtained and a subsequent
Sheriff's sale and Deed to the City was given by a Deed recorded in Volume
3302, Page 433, Deed Records.
eIt is therefore respectively requested that this matter be placed on the
agenda of the next meeting for consideration by the Mayor and Commissiorers
December 15, 1975, whereupon a resolution be adopted and approved by
Commissioners authorizing their Mayor by appropriate instrument to re~ease,ar.
quit claim unto present owners all of the right, title, interest and claim
which the City of LaPorte has or may have acquired by virtue of the hereinabo
tax suit and Sheriff's Deed in and to Lots 16, 17, 18, and 19, Block 185,
of Town of LaPorte, Harris County, Texas, according to the map or plat th@reo
recorded in Volume 725, Page 253, Deed Records of said County.

Re: Lot 16, 17, 18, and 19, Block 185, City
of La Porte, Harris County, Texas-
request of James F. Ball for Quitclaim
from City of La Porte
Dear Mayor Kibodeaux:
I have been requested by Knox Askins, City Attorney for the City
. of La Porte, to render an opinion regarding the request of Mr.
James F. Ball for a quitclaim deed from the City of La Porte as
to the captioned properties.
A tax suit was filed against C. S. Penfield and C. E. Hunn to
foreclose a tax lien in favor of the City of La Porte on April 28,
1923. The delinquent years were 1918 through 1922. Judgment was
rendered in favor of the City of La Porte after service of citation
by publication on September 20, 1923. Subsequently, on December
4, 1923, sale was held and the property was bought in by the City
of La Porte for $153.77. The record shows no deed out of the city
since then. Apparently the State of Texas, County of Harris and
the La Porte Independent School District were not impleaded in the
1923 suit and have no interest in this property stemming from the
judgment entered in this case.
The delinquent tax records of the City of La Porte show no taxes
due. On May 2, 1973, Ruth Huddleston, assistant tax collector for
the City of La Porte, issued a certificate showing no unpaid taxes
up to and including the year 1972 against Lots 6 through 21, Block
185, La Porte. (G. F. No. C12425-W) Further examination reveals
that since 1972 all taxes have been paid, the latest payment being
I

e e
I. J. Kibodeaux
. December 10, 1975
Page 2.
on December 2, 1975, by Mr. James Ball for the year 1974.
Apparently there is no way to tell whether the taxes originally
sued for in 1923 were in fact paid. All we have is the current
record, which shows no taxes due. In addition, a tax certificate
was issued showing all taxes paid up through 1972. Under Article'
7258b, this is conclusive evidence of the payment of taxes in a
court of law, although there is some authority to the effect that
the tax certificate may be impeached upon a showing that the tax
had not in fact been paid. According to Larry Broussard, we cannot
go back that far and tell. Mr. Ball may be willing to pay the
amount of that judgment to clear up his title. However, it is
my suggestion that, based on the degree of difficulty involved in
proving that the taxes have not been paid, and upon the fact that
our records show all taxes to have been paid up to and including
the year 1974,and based further upon Mrs. Huddleston's tax certifi-
cate, the City of La Porte proceed to pass a resolution authorizing
a quitclaim deed to James F. Ball, which would in effect deed all
interests that the City of La Porte might have or claim in the
. properties involved to Mr. Ball.
If you wish further and more complete discussion of all of the
legal ramifications involved, please do not hesitate to let me
know by letter or by telephone.
Very truly yours,
11~ .......

INSTRUMENTATION OF WATER SYSTEM
At the request of Mr. Morton we have conducted a study of the entire water
system and have developed costs for four grades of instrumentation. The
different types have various advantages, costs and degrees of control. All
four use leased telephone wires for transmission of signals. There are two
grades of telephone wires and the number of pairs and lease cost varies
considerably with different systems.
. the most expensive system is one in which all functions at all water system
facility locations including Fairmont Park can be both indicated and con-
trolled from a central point. Specifically, this means the well pumps and
boosters can be turned on or off at all locations either automatically or
manually from the central panel which would probably be located at the City
Public Works Building. Each site would also have local control available.
The status of the tank levels and pump operation would be transmitted and
indicated by lights on a panel. The initial cost of this system would be
about $50,000.00 plus a lease cost for the telephone wires at about $30.00
per month. This rather sophisticated system requires only one high quality
line patr for each installation.
A less expensive system will indicate the status of all equipment and tank
levels by means of lights on a central panel, but would have control only
at the site of the facility, i.e., no remote control would be available.
The cost of such an installation would initially be about $30,000.00 plus
the same approximate $30.00 per month leased telephone line cost. This
system could be expanded at some later date to the full remote control
system since all the components are compatible. Additional equipment
would be required, but no additional leased telephone wires would be
needed.
A much less expensive version of the second described system having the
same status indication at a central point and with local control only,
. .
.t.
"
.. . . e e
.
Page Two - Letter to City of La Porte 12/10/75
. would cost about $9,000.00. This system uses a lower qualtty telephone
line, but requires one parr for eacn stgnal transmttted or aoout twenty
wire pairs. The monthly lease cost for tnese wtres would run around
$100.00 because of the larger number requtred.
Finalljl this less expensive system could be designed with full control
capacity at a cost of about $18,000.00. Additional equipment would be
used as well as twice the number of wire pairs. The lease cost of the
signal wires would then be around $200.00 per month. The "signa1 on1y"
system could be upgraded at a later date if it were installed first.
The high initial cost of the first two systems could be avoided if so
desired by arranging a five year lease purchase plan with the equipment
supplier. After five years the equipment would belong to the City. The
specific conditions of such an arrangement are not available, but could
be developed if the City wishes.
All prices quoted herein include equipment and installation costs and
start-up assistance. They do not include engineering fees which would be
based upon the fee schedule in the engineering agreement according to the
contract amount.
,The attached blueprints are a schematic layout of the first system described.
. The Xerox'd sheets represent the central control panel concept (much larger
than La Porte's would be) and the photographs are further illustrations
of the system.
Depending on whether it is decided to have full central control or indi-
cation only, one of the last two systems would appear to be the best
economical choice in spite of the higher lease cost for telephone lines.
An evaluation should be made comparing the lease costs against the cost
of money if one of the higher priced systems is used. Both systems are
equally reliable and can do the job.
If you desire to pursue this project further, we can at your direction
prepare more detailed plans and a more refined cost estimate.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION
In March, 1975, we attempted to submit, for the City of La Porte, an
application for a Community Development BlocK Grant. This is a fund
administered by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare through
the Houston-Galveston Council of Governments. The money available is
100% grant so the City does not need to have matching funds in any
amount. The specific aims of this grant program are:
. - The elimination and prevention of slums and blight
- The elimination of unhealthy and unsafe conditions
- The conservation and expansion of the nation's housing stock
- The expansion and improvement of community services
- A more national utilization of land
- Reducing the isolation of income groups
- Providing for historic preservation
Due to the short notice which was given and the required public hearings
which had to be held before submitting the application, we did not meet
the deadline. This later became acedemic since the funds allotted in
Fiscal Year 1975, were very short and were used up long before cities
of La Porte's size and circumstances got consideration. Funds for Fiscal
Year 1976 have not yet been appropriated, but they are expected to be
~reater than in 1975. If available, La Porte could get up to about
200,000.00.
In any case these applications must be submitted to HGAC by February
15, 1976. Prior to this action, the City of La Porte must pass two
resolutions concerning the submission of the application as well as
hold at least two public hearings similar to those held last spring.
The last public hearing must be held fifteen days before adopting the
community development program which will come out of the public hearings.
The combination of these various requirements again makes the time very
short.
.
" ' 'I It e
Page Two - Letter to City of La Porte 12/11 /75
. It is in order at this time for the Commission to decide if it wants to
proceed with the grant application. If it does, in addition to author-
izing us to start the paperwork, the Commission should establish dates
for the required public hearings which will be held to achieve citizen
participation in the program. These dates can be anytime in the month
of January, but must receive two weeks prior advertising. At the first
Commission meeting in January a resolution must be passed authorizing
the development and preparation of the application, appointing a tem-
porary director for the program and adopting a citizen participation
plan. Then fifteen days after the last public hearing another resolu-
tion must be passed adopting the community development program. After
this the application is submitted to HGAC which reviews it. HGAC's
comments are then attached and the completed application is submitted
to the HUD area office.
