DISCUSSION OF DEPARTMENT PROJECTS - Mayor Meza informed the Commission of a meeting Se and the Engineer attended with Mr. Waggoner of the Subsidence Board, the City of Houston and other area mayors; it seems like the problem is still the trunk line coming into La Porte, as far as surface water is concerned. Mr. Busch stated that he felt the meeting was most interesting. He met with Mr. Cape, Public Works Director of the City of Houston, and two Assistant Directors and was encouraged that • there were definite plans to extend conduit southerly down along side and parallel with Southern Pacific tracks. If we enter into a contract with the City of Houston and various total entities that need the water from this source, it would be economically feasible for the City of Houston to construct the conduit and charge the City of La Porte or whoever the buying entity is. It will probably be late 1978 or 1979 before the line will be finished to Du Pont. Then if there was enough water to be purchased, they would enter into a contract for building the line to the area, at no cost, to whomever would be buying the water. If the City did enter into a contract for purchasing water, it would be the first ever accepted, where one municipality would be purchasing agent and were able to disburse to other entities. At first, the City of Houston was reluctant to consider selling water to only one entity, but later felt it could be worked out. Chief Freeman informed the Commission of a qualified reserve officer, Frank Suggs; and requested permission to appoint a Police Chaplain, W. K. "Bill" Rinesmith, 10030 Old Orchard. 0 • Regular Meeting 4/4/77 9 20. DISCUSSION OF DEPARTMENT PROJECTS - (Cont'd.)

I would like you to consider the proposed plans for a vault, which we feel essential to the security of our business. As you undoubtedly know from the cover of your new Clear Lake Area phone directory, among other things, some of our artists • are rapidly gaining fame. That, with the resulting increase in pricb of their art, and the fact that we have the largest selection of aulthentic Indian jewelry in the Houston area, demands that we improve our security. We have decided that a burglar and fire proof vault is essential. This woulq, permit storage of several filing cabinets full of vital records, our jewelry and all of our more expensive paintings; altho-u - the Kroehnke originals are now moderately priced their predicted value will soon be five to ten times the present amount. The vault must be accessible from the gallery, but cannot be constructed inside the gallery since it must have its own heavy foundation, and heavily reinforced concrete walls. It cannot be attached directly since its floor height requirement and vault door design would interfere with floor of existing second floor and ceiling of first floor. The enclosed drawing illustrates our proposed vault which is feasible in all respects, and would satisfy As the drawing illustrates, its nearest proximity to property would be 7 ft. farther from the alley than house - and gallery. Your consideration will be appreciated. .

Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 Sir: • F qr many months now you and 1 and the Subsidence Board have all talked to each other regarding surface water, and I recall both you and I sat in the same Subsidence Board meeting wherein I stated that it appeared our hopes and plans were contingent upon La Porte getting surface water and building a treatment plant, and us securing -our supply from La Porte. In later personal, informal, conversation, you stated to me that it appeared La Porte would raise the money for a treatment plant, and that after subject plant was built, La Porte would be strictly a vendor to those who wanted to buy water. With all the talk we have had between us, I cannot remember one piece of paper being generated - and I feel that with Shoreacres next appearance before the Subsidence Board scheduled for 11 May 1977, it might be apropos for us to get a very informal, non -technical, non -binding type of request to you, and for you to get me back the same type of an answer. Please, then, consider this letter as that type of request, and the same type of answer would be much appreciated as soon as possible, so that I might have paper in hand when I stand before the Board on 11 May.

Make any suggestions or changes you think necessary. When it meets with your approval, copies will be sent to other departments you think necessary for their review. ; The gross square footage is 14,000. At $30.00 per square foot the cost would be $420, 000.00. It appears at this time that there would be a sufficient amount of monies in the budget to construct the Police Building. If it meets with your approval, I would like to recommend that sufficient studies be made to determine the cost of the Police Building and if the budget.is sufficient, the Police Building would be included in this building program..: Sincerely � Y 4 S yr4 ` DOU TIE & PORTERFIELD/ , +&72 - i ~ k r a M.
