(2) The project must increase the City's tax base. (3) The project must remove a blighted . condition or create employment. (4) The project must not contribute to economic decline or blight in another area. • • • GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE ELIGIBLE BLIGHTED AREA The following goals and objectives for the City's economi- cally distressed areas will be applicable to the redevelopment of the eligible blighted area in the use of IRB's. Generally, the overall objectives are as follows: (1) To promote the present and prospective health, safety, rights to gainful employment and general welfare of the people of the City of La Porte and the State of Texas. (2) To promote the continued existence, develop- ment and expansion of commerce and industry essential to the economic growth of the • City of La Porte and the full employment, welfare and prosperity of its citizens. (3) To encourage the economic growth and stability of the City by increasing and stabilizing employment opportunities, significantly increasing and stabilizing the property tax base and promoting commerce within the City and the State. (4) To encourage employment of the inhabitants of the EBA by encouraging employers to locate projects which will employ such persons in or adjacent to the EBA. lr~ u C7 REASONS FOR THE DESIGNATION The recommended area under consideration as an eligible area for financing commercial projects with industrial revenue bonds contains conditions of substantial blight and economic distress. In summary, the area has: (1) A substantial number of substandard, deteriorated and deteriorating structures. (2) A substantial percentage of low/moderate income residents; and (3) A relatively high unemployment rate. It also has City approved programs to address many of the problems which cause blight and economic distress. • CITY OF LA PORTE INTER-OFFICE ~fE:`iot't~.~'DL^.~i ~o: ck~,Owen, City Manager DATE: May 28, 1982 . l \~ FRO`i: J -Joerns, Engineering Dept. SUBJECT: Pa~ i pation in the Oversizing of an 8" to a 12" Line LJes inghouse Electric Corp. Westinghouse is developing a tract on Fairmont Parkway near the intersection of Bay Area Blvd. Although the tract is in the Bayport Industrial District, Westinghouse is prepared to extend approximately 2800 feet of 8" water main to-serve their needs. It is recommended that the Council participate in the oversizing of an 8" to a 12" line. This action would be in keeping with the plans to eventually complete a 12" outer loop along Fairmont Parkway. Council has previously participated in two similar oversizing requests along Fairmont Park~~aay that will eventually become part of this outer loop. The approximate cost of the oversizing is $15,000.00 which includes materials, installa- tion, and the additional engineering fee. Westinghouse is aware that . they are outside the City limits of La Porte and will have to pay 1 z times the normal utility rate. I recommend that the funds be taken from the Water & Sewer Contingency Fund which has a balance of $169,000.00.
