In accordance with our earlier phone conversation be advised that we tivish to renew our Industrial District Agreement with the City of La Porte. You indicated a willingness to extend the existing agreement until December 31,.1979, at which time we would than re-negotiate a new agreement. As explained by you, the December 31, 1979 cut off ,is due to the expiration of contracts with major manufacturers such as Houston Power and Light and DuPont and it is your intention that the terms of the contracts with the City of La Porte be the same for all manufacturers. The above is agreeable to us provided that in December, 1979 the terms of our Industrial District Agreement be similiar to the terms granted to other manufacturers such as DuPont and Houston Power and Light, etc. Please advise me of your decision concerning the above and I presume you will send me an amendment extending our existing contract to December 31, 1979.

ADAMS, P.E. CITY June 30, 1977 Dear Mayor: LAS VEGAS For the .fifth consecutive year, Las Vegas will be the host for the Jerry Lewis Telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. As in the past, the telethon will originate from the Sahara Hotel, beginning Sunday night, September 4th and continue uninterrupted until Monday evening, September 5th. The live and in color spectacular will be carried on a coast-to-coast • network of some 200 stations. Hawaii and Puerto Rico will again be included -- via satellite -- while Alaska and Guam will view Telethon '77 via delayed tape broadcast. This will be the greatest number of stations to ever combine to- gether to broadcast a single fund raising event for a humanitarian purpose. Jerry's show in 1966 inaugurated the Labor Day series and was the first to ever raise $1-million. In 1969, Jerry's Telethon was the first to ever be telecast over a network. In 1976, Jerry's Telethon topped all previous records with $21,723,813 pledged, 104 of which was collected. As Las Vegas Chairman of this event, I am again asking your help in fighting Muscular Dystrophy and related disorders which. afflict so many of our people. I have enclosed a copy of a Proclamation issued by me, as Mayor on behalf of the City of Las Vegas and ask that you and your city follow suit and issue a Proclamation enlisting the support. of your citizens. I join with Jerry Lewis. and his great crew of people who have worked so diligently to wipe out this dread disease in expressing our deep appreciation to you and your community for your support.

Meza, Mayor City of La Porte P. 0. Box 1115 L a Porte, Texas 77571 Dear Mayor Meza: CLAYTON T. GARRISON JAMES M. ROSE MACK WALLACE HUGH C. YANTIS, JR. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PHONE: (512) 475-2651 SANDRA JOHNSON SECRETARY We understand from your engineer that Bayshore MUD has contacted the City to discuss having sewage from the District treated in the City of La Porte's • plant. Since this Agency has taken enforcement action against La Porte, you were interested in the reaction of this Agency to a possible tie in of Bayshore MUD to your system. Bayshore MUD has a need for adequate sewage treatment facilities. La Porte has a need for improved and expanded sewerage facilities, therefore, it is logical to consider solving these needs jointly. We have no objections to your City working out an acceptable agreement with Bayshore. However, such an agreement would have to be carefully worked out to insure all permit requirements, enforcement orders, grant schedules, etc. are either properly complied with or amended. This agreement would be subject to a lot of details but could be done. The City of La Porte currently has a Step 1 grant for the development of a facility plan. This Step 1 grant could be expanded to allow additional work to be done to include Bayshore's area in the facility plan. This can be done without an adverse impact on the City's current grant. However, if the City would like to pursue this effort, it should be initiated in the very near future. We will be happy to meet with you and discuss in greater detail the procedures to be followed if you desire. Very truly yours, _ f -~~ Ro ert G.
