Honorable Mayor and Board of Commissioners City of La Porte La Porte, Texas Gentlemen: In April of 1976 the Houston Lighting & Power Company instituted a general increase in our rate schedules. It has been more than two years since this change was made effective and during that period, due to cost increases not within our control, our rate of return has dropped below the level necessary to provide sound financing of our Company's business. The deterioration of our Company's return on investment has • been caused by such factors as general inflation, increases in state and local taxes, environmental protection costs, and similar items, which do not provide additional generating capacity or efficiency for our system. It should be noted, however, that the primary factor in onr Company's declining financial position has been the high cast of new construction. In the past three years, 1975 through 1977, our generating capacity has been increased by more than 16$ from an expansion program amounting to $1.1 billion, and the energy needs of this area's growing economy are exerting an even greater demand for reliable electric service which must be met in the immediate future. In addition, we must continue the gradual transition from gas and oil-fired generators to more abundant energy sources such as coal, lignite and nuclear fuel. Just looking forward to the next three years, 1978 through 1980, we are already com.~nitted to spend $1.6 billion to support our ongoing plant expansion. The result of this is that within the six-year period, 1975 through 1980, plant expansions will be more than double our total investment in plant and other facilities in 1974• An expanding entity, whether it be a municipality or an electric company, must be kept in healthy financial condition if it is to operate successfully. So far our Company has been able to do a better job of keeping its rates down because its securities have carried a good rating among electric utilities. • •• P.O. Box 597. 2000 Nasa 1 Seabrook, Texas 77586. (713) 474-4151 Houston %tghling & Power Company Page 2 • • It must be emphasized that our Company's ability to maintain its credit rating has been of great benefit to our customers since we have been able to finance our expansion programs on terms more favorable than many other utilities. We have thus been able to keep pace with the area's growing electrical needs and at the same time maintain customer charges that are among the lowest of all of the investor-owned electric utilities in the nation. We estimate that between 60$ and 65~ of the $1.6 billion required to meet our 1978-1980 expansion program may have to be financed through the public sale of Company securities. With such an expansion program facing us, we must be able to offer securities of a quality commensurate with the other available investment opportunities in order to compete effectively for the investors' dollars. Tc do this we must have a record of earnings that will make our securities attractive in today's highly competitive money market, and without rate relief we cannot do this. We are including with this letter a Statement of Intent to change rates for electric service along with the proposed revised rate schedules for the Company's Tariff and the rate filing package with supporting testimony that has been filed today with the Public Utility Commission of Texas. We have requested that the new rates become effective on August 21, 1978 and apply to • all service taken by each customer on or after that date. A simultaneous filing of Statements of Intent is being made with all of the municipalities exercising original jurisdiction over the Company. The rate increases sought in each municipality and in the rural areas under the direct original jurisdiction of the Public Utility Commission are uniform for each class of customer throughout the Company's service area. We regret that a rate increase is necessary; however, we are pleased to report that your rates will continue to be among the -- ~ lowest in the United States. It is a privilege to serve your City and it will be our objective to keep our rates at the lowest possible level consistent with good service and sound operations.

STATE OF TEXAS X X COUNTY OF HARRIS X This Agreement made and entered into by and between the City of La Porte, a Municipal Corporation of Harris County, Texas, hereinaf ter called "City", and the Spenwick Place Municipal Utility District, a conservation and reclamation district of Harris County, Texas, hereinafter called "Spenwick", W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, the City of La Porte owns and operates sanitary sewerage treatment facilities, including mains and laterals, • adjacent to Spenwick; and WHEREAS, Spenwick is desirous of constructing within in its district boundaries, a sanitary sewerage collection system, and transporting the effluent therefrom to City for sewerage treatment purposes; and WHEREAS, Spenwick is located within the exclusive extra- territorial jurisdiction of City for future annexation purposes, and it is contemplated by the parties that Spenwick will eventually be annexed by City and made a part of City's corporate boundaries; and WHEREAS, City is agreeable to receiving sanitary sewerage collections from Spenwick, for the purposes of treatment, under • the terms and conditions of this Agreement: NOW, THEREFORE, for and consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows: I. Spenwick will take necessary steps to complete the design, engineering, financing, and construction, of a sanitary sewerage • collection system, to serve approximately 200 residential and • -2- small commercial connections within Spenwick's corporate boundaries. Spenwick shall construct necessary sewer mains to a point of delivery on City's existing sanitary sewerage collec- tion system, which point of delivery shall be selected by City's engineers, with approval by Spenwick's engineers, and shall be located in the western portion of City's Fairmont Park sub- division. City will accept delivery of Spenwick's sanitary sewerage (but not including any industrial waste) not to exceed a maximum average flow capacity of 90 thousand gallons per day, at such point of delivery, for treatment at City's Fairmont Park sanitary sewerage treatment facilities. II. • - The parties hereto recognize that Spenwick presently has in operation its own water supply and distribution system, and this agreement does not contemplate that City will furnish Spenwick with fresh water. This Contract shall be effective upon the approval hereof by the governing bodies of each party hereto, and shall continue in force for a period of 20 years, terminating September 30„ 1998; provided, however, this Agreement shall be subject to termination by either party hereto upon two (2) years prior written notice. III. Each party to this Agreement agrees to keep, maintain and operate its sanitary sewerage collection and treatment facilities, • as the case may be, in accordance with the then current laws, rules, and regulations, of the State and Federal authorities having jurisdiction thereof. In addition, Spenwick agrees to operate its sanitary sewerage collection facilities in accordance with then current City1of La Porte ordinances applicable thereto, -- including but not limited to, the City of La Porte's industrial waste ordinance, and in keeping with the standards promulgated • by the American Water Works Association. • -3- IV. The Parties recognize that the water distribution system in operation by Spenwick is presently not an individually metered system. Therefore, it is agreed that the basis of the charges by City to Spenwick hereunder, shall be 1508 of Spenwick's pro- rata portion, based on metered output, of City's actual total costs of sanitary sewerage treatment. City's actual cost of treatment per thousand gallons shall be determined by taking the total cost of operation, maintenance, and replacement attribut- able thereto, divided by the total gallonage treated. Such cost determination shall be made by City, based upon its most recent •` fiscal year audit, effective the first day of the calendar year immediately following the end of City's fiscal year. It shall be the responsibility of Spenwick to handle all billings and collections from its own customers. City will render its bill to Spenwick on the last business day of each service month, based upon the formula contained in this paragraph, and such bill shall be payable by Spenwick to City, without discount, on or before the 25th day of the following calendar month. Spenwick shall be liable for payment to City based on connections certi- fied to be in service, regardless of whether Spenwick collects the same from its own customers. V. Provisions for Metering - Spenwick will install at its cost, • ~ and City shall operate and maintain as a part of the system, ,the necessary equipment and devices of standard type for properly measuring all sewage discharged into the system. Spenwick shall have access to such metering equipment at all reasonable times for inspection and examination, but the reading, calibration and adjustment thereof shall be done only by employees or agents of City, and Spenwick shall have access to the record books kept by • City at .its office during reasonable business hours. • • -4- Calibration of Meter - Not more than three times in each year of operation, City shall calibrate the meter provided by Spenwick, if requested in writing by Spenwick to do so, in the presence of a representative of Spenwick. The parties shall jointly observe any adjustments which are made to the meter in case any adjustment is found to be necessary. Inaccuracies of Meter - If, upon any test, the percentage of inaccuracy of any meter is found to be in excess of five percent (5~), registration thereof shall be corrected for a period of time =extending back to the time when such inaccuracy began, if such time is ascertainable; and if such time is not ascertainable, then for a period extending back one-half (1/2) • of the. time elapsed since the date of the last calibration, but in no event further back than a period of six (6) months. If, for any reason, any meters are out of service or out of repair so that the amount of sewage discharged cannot be ascertained or computed from a reading thereof, the amount of sewage discharged during the period such meters are out of service or out of re- pair shall be estimated by City's engineer and agreed upon by the Parties hereto on the basis of the best data available. VI. The Parties hereto recognize and agree that the rates to be charged hereunder, are fair and proper and that such rates recognize the fact that City's sanitary sewerage treatment • facilities have been constructed, and in the future will be re- constructed and enlarged, partially with the use of City of La Porte tax funds, and from the proceed of bond sales by the City of La Porte, which will be repaid by tax funds, and that the property within Spenwick's boundaries is not subject to taxation by the City of La Porte. The Parties recognize that the rates charge by City to its customers within its boundaries, _ do not fully pay for the cost of such service, and that the • capital investment in such facilities is provided by tax funds. . -5- In the event that Spenwick fails to tender payment of charges hereunder, when due, such charges shall be subject to an immediate ten percent penalty. If such charges remain unpaid for 60 days after notice to Spenwick by City in writing of such default, such charges shall accrue interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum, and City shall have the privilege of sus- pending its acceptance of delivery of Spenwick's sanitary sewerage into its system, which remedy shall be in addition to any other. remedy available to City. VII. Spenwick agrees to establish, maintain, and. collect ade- quate sanitary sewerage rates to pay its necessary costs of . operation of its system, and its charges to City hereunder. VIII. The Parties hereto recognize that City's Fairmont Park sewerage treatment plant has a rated capacity of 580 thousand gallons per day and that in excess of one-half of such capacity is now being used by City to serve its present customers in the Fairmont Park area. The Parties hereto further recognize that City's first obligation is to provide service to customers and future customers within its own corporate boundaries, and that it, therefore, must limit its agreement hereunder to treat Spen- wick sewerage, to a maximum average flow capacity of 90 thousand gallons per day of sewerage flowing from Spenwick into City's system. Spenwick agrees that it will not issue any further sewer • tap permits for buildings commenced after July 1, 1978, without the prior written consent of City. Spenwick shall have full responsibility in connection with all waste handled by its sewerage collection facilities, and Spenwick agrees to save and hold the City harmless from all • claims, demands and causes of action which may be asserted by anyone on account of .the transportation, delivery and disposal • of said waste while they are in the process of being handled by Spenwick's facilities. n U you asnEO ~au~o puE ~o ~unoooE uo 'sa~n~on.z~s .zau~o .zo sTEUEO .zo 'sauiTadzd '~.zau-ruoEUi 'suiEp o~ ~uapzooE .zo abExEa.zq 'suo-rsoTdxa 'saouEgzn~.sip Tinto 'aTdoad puE ~.uauzu.zanob 3o s~.uzE.z~sa.z 's~.sa.z.zE 's~ubno.zp 's~nousEM 'spooT~ 'siu.zo~.s 'sauEO-r.z.znu 'sa.z-r~ 'saxEnb -u~..zEa 'buzu~.ub-rT 'sapiTspuET 'sozu~apzda 's~.oi.z 'suo-r~oa.z.znsui 't~~T.zoLj~.nE ~.zE~zTzui .zo TTAT~ puE .zo s2xay ~o a~.E~S auk. ~o ,zo sa~.Ea.S pa~.zun auk ~o ~uaiuuxano~ auk ~o. puix puE ~o suoz~oE .zo saap.zo • '~uiaua o-rTgnd ~o s~oE 'saouEgzn~szp TEZ.z~snpuz .zau~o .zo s~.no=xooT 'saxt.z~.s 'poi ~o s~.oE uEatu TTEus uza.zau pa~oTdtua sE „aanaCEUi ao.zo~„ tu.za~. auy •uo~Edsip aTgEUOSEa.z TTE q~TM ~~zT-rgEUZ eons atuoo.zano .zo anotuaa o~ .zonEapua TTEus ~~..zEd eons puE puQ :poiaad ~abuoT ou .zoo ~nq ' pau~zETo uau~. ~~.iTzgEUt auk ~o aouEnuz~.uoo auk bu-ranp papuadsns aq TTEus ' „a.znaCEUZ ao.zo~„ eons ~q pa~.oa~~E sz ~T sE .ZE3 os 'aaz~ou cans buznTb ~~.zEd auk ~o uoz~.Eb-rTgo auk 'uo pazTa.z asnEO .zo '~uana auk ~o aoua.z.znooo auk .za~.~E atut~ aTgEUOSEa.z E uiu~.tM ~~..zEd aau~.o auq off. buz~-r.zM u-r suosEa.z eons ~o szETnoz~..zEd TTn~ puE aoz~.ou anzb TTEus ~~..zEd eons ~T uau~.

Knight, Pre ident • MEMORANDUM July 25, 1978 TO: Mayor and Council FROM: J. R. Hudgens SUBJECT: Street Right-of-Way Dedication and Construction The developer of Creekmont subdivision has presented the City with a plat (copy attached) dedicating a street right-of- way to the City. The developer is now constructing a street (extension of Myrtle Creek) within the right-of-way. The developer is requesting that the City formally accept the right- of-way dedication and upon completion of the street construc- tion in accordance with City standards, accept the street for maintenance. • This street will provide an entrance/exit from the Creek- mont subdivision to Main Street. When Creekmont was platted this street was apparently contemplated, but it was not included in the original platting. It is recommended that Council ac- cept the dedication of the right-of-way at our next meeting but withhold acceptance of the street for maintenance until after completion of construction. J. R.
