I hand you herewith my cashier's check in the amount of
$7920.00 as payment, under protest, for the abandonment and

I respectfully request that the fair market value of

only to the easement) be appraised by a competent appraiser.
Since I have to bear the cost of the appraisal I request
that you employ an MAI--T'm sure there are MAI appraisers
familiar with LaPorte.
Of course, by paying under protest I reserve every
possible right and remedy available to insure that the fair
market value of the easement be appraised.

Dear Sir:
We are currently preparing a project with an anticipated February 1980
letting to do pavement markings and resurfacing pavement along SH 146 in
Harris County. A portion of the work will extend into the corporate limits
of La Porte, as described in the attachments to this letter.
In the interest of safety, it is desirable to establish a reduced speed
zone for posting along sections of the roadway during construction operations
and we are hereby requesting that the zone be established by Council action
at your regular meeting.
Attached are two copies of a sample ordinance containing the recommended
zone. This draft is so written that it is automatically canceled upon completion
of the project. If you concur, please return a copy of your ordinance for our
files and further handling.
Very tr~u-l-y.~y~ours,

SUBJECT: Chem-Lime Sewer Line
In 1979, Chem-Lime Corporation entered
Maxwell Plumbing Co, to construct a 10
from just north of their office buildi~
to North 16th Street. The project was
and one lift station, the lift station
Polk.
into a contract with C. D.
inch sanitary sewer line
zg line, south to Polk and
to include seven manholes
to be built at 16th and
In August 1979, I received a phone call from a plum.ber,.hzred by
Tex-A-Mation Engineering, to tie into their tap. He told me that
the manhole at Barbours Cut was full of water. I sent a crew out
to see what the problem was. The crew called me out on the job
and we discovered that the manhole at Barbours Cut and 16th Street
had a false bottom.
The manhole now must maintain a certain amount of head in order for
the sewer to flow south to the lift station as it was intended.
The problem is shown in the drawing provided. Flowline "C" is what
was actually installed. As is shown in the drawing, the flow from
station 6 + 65 to 11 + 25 is reversed. There should have been a
20% grade from the manhole at Barbours Cut to the lift station at
Polk, as indicated by flowline "A" in the drawing.
As indicated by flowline "B", I propose to re-Iay the line from
station 0 + 00 to 11 + 25 using the existing manholes. A falle
bottom will have to be poured in the manhole at Barbours Cut.
The job estimate is as follows:
665 ft. of SDR 35 pipe @ $13.00 per ft. for 8-10 ft. depth $ 8,645.00
460 ft. of SDR 35 pipe @ $15.00 per ft. for 10-12 ft. depth 6,900.00
Manhole work at station 6 + 65 200.00
Engineering fee 400.00
$16,145.00
Please review this matter and discuss with me at your convenience.

FROM: Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Bag System
~~
As you know we have now completed our test period with the bag
system. The change was accepted very well. Better than 95%
of the people responding were in favor of converting to the
bag system. Over 60a/o of those responding to our request to
turn their questionaires favored the plastic bag system.
I found the bag system to be
.sons. After the garbage had
sightly garbage cans sitting
the street. Less garbage wa
men scattered less or hardly
ared to the cans.
very favorable for several rea-
been collected there were no up-
on the curb or blowing out into
s scattered because the pick-up
none with the bag system as comp-
• This system will completely eliminate complaints about Sanit-
ation personnel damaging cans, running over them, leaving the
lids off or not completely emptying the cans.
The Sanitation personnel perfer the plastic bags because they
are cleaner and eaiser to handle. With the plastic bag system
the bags are always closed. With the paper bags, people over-
fill them and are unable to close them properly. Should they
turn over they spill garbage and if it is raining the bag gets
water inside and out which tears more easily.
The cost of the plastic bags compared to the paper should be
enough reason to choose the plactic bag system over the paper
bag system without the reasons I have listed. As you know the
plastic bags cost about 4 as much as the paper bags.
I suggest we go with the plastic bag system and do it now. I
also suggest we go out for bids on plastic bags as soon as poss-
ible in order to implement the new system.
I suggest for those who want to use the paper bags that the City
have them available for purchase. It would be the Sanitation's
policy to pick up either approved bag but only furnish plastic
at no additional charge to the customer.

FROM• PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
PAT MUSTON, CHAIRMAN
SUBJECT:
REQUEST TO REZONE BLOCKS 333 AND 334,
LA PORTE, FROM "C" APARTMENT AND COMMERCIAL,
TO LIGHT INDUSTRY - JACK B. KELLEY, INC.
Planning & Zoning Commission met December 4, 1979, to consider the
above request.
The purpose of the request was to allow repairs such as sandblasting
and spray painting to be done to trailers. The requirements of the
State of Texas regarding such operations are so strict that, if
the process is in compliance with state regulations, there should be
no noxious fumes, dust, or particles emitted from the facility. It
would be policed by the State to insure compliance.
The Planning & Zoning Commission does not recommend rezoning to our
present industrial classification, because we feel that some uses
permitted in that classification are not suited to this location.
• Our recommendation is to issue a special use permit to allow repair,
sandblasting and painting, fabrication, and storage~of trailers on
Blocks 333 and 334, La Porte, subject to meeting State and City
regulations.
We request a joint public hearing regarding the special use permit.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT: Water Division Backhoe
The Water Divisions backhoe has been in the shop more than it
has been on the job in the past few weeks.
I was advised by Mr. Kendle this morning that we would have to
put anew engine in it now.
This would cost about $4,500.00. I had hoped to get by this
year and buy a new one next year.
Since this machine is a 1973 model, I do not recommend spending
this much money on it. We have other problems with the machine
as well and would probably continue to have problems with it.
The Water Division must have a backhoe at once in order to try
to stay up with the many ,taps that come in each week. They are
• behind now because the machine has been in the shop.
I suggest we declare this an emergency and buy one as soon as
possible.
