After the public hearing. Skelton: There is one small error on A3. The minutes state "Broadway", it should have been "Fairmont." At the bottom of the page. Faris: Yes, I noticed that, but that wasn't the one in my mind. On page A8, after the vote was taken on item 6, I left the room for a few moments and was not back in the room until item 8 had begun and was not present to vote on item 7 or enter into any discussion. I have no discussion here, but it does count me as voting for the motion, and I wasn't in the room. So I hereby move to amend these minutes by correcting the vote on item no. • Meza: Will you amend your motion to accept the minutes as corrected? C ~~ • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 17, 1982, Page 2 Skelton: Yes. Meza: Do you second the motion to that effect? Westergren: Yes.

Mr. Sonny Black, representing the La Porte Rodeo Association will address the Council. Black; Mr. Mayor, Council, Ladies and Gentlemen, on behalf of the La Porte Livestock Show and Rodeo Association, we would like to extend an invitation to each of you to join us at the show and fair and auction at Sylvan Beach on the 27th of this month. That is a week from this Saturday. Also, we have the play games, horsemanship games at the Lomax Riding Arena on April the 9th and 10th, and at this time I would like to say "thank you" for all the efforts that have been put forth - the lights, the sand and everything involved in preparing the arena out there. It looks very good. However, we would like a little tune-up in the area of some dirt left in piles. We are in a crunch now for a little parking. The Association definitely supports the baseball program. We think it's one of the best in the country, but we would like to see a little help to update the grading and so forth in this area so we can get our people in. ~~e have people coming from Cleveland, Dayton, Baytown, and all over the country. So you can see we will have a large amount of trailers coming into this area. We have information that there is 2~ acres for sale at this time next to the arena. We would like to solicit a little help to see what progress we could make in purchasing this land. If the folks do not know, this arena is very important to our operation. We now have four young ladies in our area who are recognized state wide from the Live Stock Show in Houston. They are top-notch horsewomen and we are dadgummed proud of them. Thank you. Meza: Jack, would you look at the cosmetic work that needs to be done out there? r: • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 17, 1982, Page 3 5. Mayor Meza recognized Mr. Steve Richards and. Mr. Jack Hoff- man, Consulting Engineers representing the Texas Department of Highways and Transportation. Richards: First of all, I would like to brief you on some work we are doing for the Highway Department. In the course of this work we have identified three special concerns which we need to bring before the Council tonight and get some input from them. Let me start out with those two objectives. I guess, to begin with, I'll give you some background information. The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation, through their District 12 office, several years ago installed traffic signals at five intersections along Main Street in La Porte: Main at SH 146, Main at 8th, Main at 4th, Main at 2nd, and Main at Broadway and San Jacinto Street. I believe that intersection is called Five Points, locally. It is Highway Department policy to assume full responsibility for maintaining such traffic signal installations in small towns. Small town meaning below 15,000 population. As you are probably aware, La Porte has passed the 15,000 mark, and in keeping with De- partment policy, we are turning the responsibility for main- taining the signal system along Main Street over to the City of La Porte. The County will actually do the maintenance, I believe, through an agreement La Porte has with the County. But it will be the City of La Porte's responsibility to up- keep these traffic signals. Before the Department actually turns over these signals to the City they are going to up-grade and modernize these signals. It will be paid for completely by the Highway Department. There will be no cost to the City of La Porte. My Company, Walton and Associates, has been engaged by the Highway Department to do the preliminary engineering studies for upgrading the system and the design work. Let me brief you with some of the problems with the present system and why the Highway Department feels that they should .upgrade and modernize the system before turning it over to La Porte. Richards presented slides of East Main and then some of the Five Points intersection showing the old signal heads and proposed to synchronize the lights on East Main to provide a better flow of traffic along Main. He stated the new elec- tronic control equipment would be installed to save the City of La Porte some money in repairs. He stated there aim was to bring the traffic signals up to date with other equipment through the state. He stated there were basically 3 areas where he needed Council input before he could finalize plans. • • • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 17, 1982, Page 4 The first was the traffic signal at 2nd Street and East Main. Richards stated after numerous traffic counts, volume just did not justify a signal at that intersection. That signal is actually creating a needless delay to motorists on the major street. Based on this, he recommended the signal at 2nd and East Main be removed. Hodge: I have talked to the Fire Chief and the Police Chief, and neither one of them have any objections to this light being removed. Richards: The second area involves a short block between 8th Street and 9th Street. There is a pretty bad alinement problem there created by left turn lanes at 146. Right now, both sides of the road are reserved for on-street parking. However, in our many visits down here we have seen almost no parking in this short block. We are asking the Council input on removing this on-street parking for this short block. It would greatly improve traffic operations and could enhance traffic safety. We propose two main travel lanes and a right-turn lane. Our •. final problem area is really the most critical, at the Five Points intersection. We will be replacing the signal equipment but no matter what we try to do to signalize this intersection as it is, our design will be inefficient. There is just no good way to signalize a 5-legged intersection. There is driver confusion at this type of intersection. We have done an acci- dent study and the number occurring is slightly higher than at 2nd and 4th, but it's not all that high at this point. The condition is so bad that drivers are adjusting their driving and driving extra safe through this intersection. We do fore- see a problem as the City grows. We propose to make the 5th leg (the San Jacinto leg) one way out-bound from the inter- section to A Street. Traffic would be southeast bound to A Street, beyond A it would be two-way flow just like it is now. Traffic coming north along San Jacinto to Main would be routed along A Street over to Broadway. We would do this with signs and paint stripes and maybe some of the raised jiggle bars. The traffic volumes are not all that great and we feel this would be a very adequate method to control present and future problems. Faris: Who pays for all the additional striping and signs? Richards: I believe that would fall within the budget, so the Highway Department would pay for it. Skelton: Do you know what the annual operating and maintenance • cost for operating the light at 2nd Street? • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 17, 1982, Page 5 Richards: I couldn't come up with a figure. Hoffman: It will usually run about $1,000 a year for regular and emergency operations and maintenance. Simons: Have you made a study on traffic going south on San Jacinto from Five Points? Richards: Yes. Peak hours it's about 150. Simons: What about weekends? Richards: We have not made any weekends. Simons: We have a lot of traffic in the summer traveling that particular route to Sylvan Beach. Richards: This plan would favor that traffic. Skelton: When all these people co • on Broadway are we going to need a these cars to get out? Richards: No. The volumes we are not need a light there. Again, we counts, and this would be weekends ne back and they try to get light there in order for getting suggest you would did. hot make any weekend in the summer. Latimer: Most of the people coming that way are going to be wanting to turn right anyway. Richards responded to questions from the Council and the pub- lic present at length. Richards stated he was here to get input and to present these recommendations based on their findings. He stated he could design the system without these three changes, but he felt it would not be the most efficient nor the safest, in his opinion. He further stated he was not contesting the Council; he was just presenting the facts for them to make a decision. Hodge: Remember, Fairmont Parkway will take a lot of this traffic when it is widened. Faris: That work-will be begun late third or early fourth quarter of this year, according to Commissioner Fonteno's office. I see no reason not to procede with these gentlemen's recommendations at this time. If it is in line for a motion • to that effect, I'll make it. • • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 17, 1982, Page 6 Considerable discussion followed, individual to individual; none directed to the moderator. Faris: Mr. Mayor, you have a motion on the floor. Meza: We were not going to vote on this. We were only going to hear their recommendations, and if Council is ready to make a decision on the information they have now, we can proceed. However, if the Council feels they need time to think about it or to gather more information, we can postpone it for a week. Skelton: I think we need more time for further consideration. Meza: Have you taken into consideration that A Street is uded by the County Court House for parking during court hours? Skelton: Mr. Mayor, is San Jacinto not a County maintained street? Does the County have any say as to what we do with San Jacinto? Meza: Well, it will have to be an agreement between County, City and State Highway Department. Cline: Mr. Mayor, may I say something, please? Since I have been. the street commissioner .here in La Porte and know a lot of this stuff. T don't disagree with what Mr. Richards has told you, but I would like to ask the Council to consider one other thing that he has brought before you tonight, and I think it is a very good idea. Now, he is advocating no parking on the east bound traffic coming into Main from the Highway to 8th Street. Please consider no parking on the west bound, also. Meza: There used to be no parking on the west bound. I don't know what happened to the signs, but I haven't seen any parking there in years. Rib.hards: We certainly agree with that. In fact, we have a sketch showing just that. Faris: Mr. Mayor, you have a motion on the floor. In light of what Mr. Skelton pointed out. about San Jacinto being a County maintained street, I would amend my motion to state that we accept these proposals we have heard here tonight pro- vided the County also agrees to accept them; that's the pro- posal on San Jacinto Street. Meza: There is a motion on the floow to accept the recommenda- tions of the consulting engineers with the County being a party to accepting these recommendations. • • • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 17, 1982, Page 7 Longley: I'll second that, Mr. Mayor. Meza: All in favor. Longley: Aye Faris: Aye Latimer: Aye Simons: Nay Skelton: Abstain G-~; Aye Westergren: Aye Malone: Absent The motion carried, 5 ayes, 1 nay, 1 abstain. 6. The Council considered the recommendation of the Public Works Director for awarding a bid on three (3) 2-ton pickup trucks in the amount of'$8,131.81 each, a total bid price of $24,395.43, to Joe Camp Ford. The trucks are budgeted for the Warehouse, Street Department and Solid Waste Commercial Department. Each department has funds to make up the $131.81 difference between the bid and the budgeted amount. Motion was made by Councilperson Gay to award the bid to Joe Camp Ford. Second by Councilperson Westergren. The motion carried, 8 ayes and 0 nays. Ayes: Councilpersons Longley, Faris, Latimer, Simons, Gay, Skelton, Westergren and Mayor Meza Nays: None 7. Council considered the recommendation of Parks Director Stan Sherwood to .award a bid to Gloger Kubota in the amount of $28,844.00 for tractors and tractor equipment (equipment list is a part of these official minutes). Gloger Kubota has met all specifications and is well within the budgeted amount. Motion was made by Councilperson Skelton to award the tractor and equipment bid to Gloger Kubota in the amount of $28,844.00. Second by Councilperson Simons. Faris: Mr. Mayor, can you tell us what these tractors are going to be used for? Meza: Mowing in the Parks and Recreation Department. Faris: Are the tractors we have now are not particularly adequate? • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 17, 1982, Page 8 Meza: According to the department's report, they need the additional equipment to keep maintenance up. Skelton: This is a budgeted item. Faris: Is this the smaller tractors that will fit in the alleyways? G-`~: No, they already got those. Faris: This doesn't have anything to do with that? Westergren: Mr. Sherwood, do you have any problem getting parts for this type of tractor as opposed to some of the others? Sherwood: No. G_~: These are handled by International? Sherwood: Jim Ball International in Baytown does handle these. Gay: So it's no problem at all to get parts for these. The reason why T am saying this is, because I have an International tractor and it costs me $900 just for a part. I had to order it and it was made in Belgium. Sherwood: Anything under 30 horse is made overseas. Ford is made in Japan. Faris: I notice you have a 19 h.p. Kubota with a 16 inch bucket and a 50 inch loader for that 19 h.p, tractor. This front end loader is going on the same tractor, is that correct? I'm not being picky, but T used to own a Kubota tractor and my father still does, and we have had nothing but maintenance problems with them. Sherwood; I have had two for four years and one for three years and I have had no problem. Faris: Do they have backhoes and front end loaders, or lawn mowers? Sherwood. Lawn mowers. Faris: Mr. Hodge, have yours got lawn mower or backhoes on them? • Hodge: I've just got two small ones with mowers. • • • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 17, 1982, Page 9 Faris: The problem we had was with the hydraulic system. The equipment was too big for the tractor. Latimer: Are these gas or diesel? Sherwood: Diesel. Latimer: Satisfied with diesel? Sherwood: Yes. The motion carried, 7 ayes and 1 nay.
