the alley in Block. 831, Town of La Porte, and close 15th
Street between Blocks 8.31 and 832.
City Manager Owen stated that there are certain drainage
swales in that area that he feels that the developer should
relocate or show how he proposes to handle the drainage on
his plans. Also, he has been negotiating for a 16-foot
addition to be added to the 14th Street right-of-way to make
room to accommodate a future proposed sewer trunk main, and
• Mr. Boyle is aware of this and is working out that agreement.

Motion was made b Council erson Matuszak to a rove the
re nest endn satisfactor ne otiations or w atever it
takes to insure that we do have the ro er a 'ustments in
easement an rainage t at is require .
Councilperson Matuszak stated that he .:had spoken with John
Joerns and it seems imperative that we do get this easement
in order not to stifle future development up and down that
road. The closing of this alley will cause some pretty good
financial impact on the City if this is closed without any
alternate easements being granted.
The motion was seconded by Councilperson Westergren.
Questions were asked by Council regarding easements, drainage,
etc.., and were answered by Mr. Joerns and the City Attorney.
Additional 16-foot easements are needed along the 14th Street
right-of-way for a major sanitary sewer project. If the City
does not get all of these easements and some of the alleys
• are closed, it would cause a zig-zag effect and present major
problems with drainage. Developers will be asked at the
time they submit their site plans to submit their proposed
drainage improvements, including the relocation of any
existing drainage swales.
Mr. Matuszak stated he felt it was imperative to get all
the. easements up and down the street so as not to be blocked
in at this point and if it takes this type of a negotiation
at this point then we should prudently do this. More dis-
cussion followed.
City Attorney Askins proposed that before Mr. Boyle is given
a certified copy of the alley closing ordinances, the City
prepare a letter for Mr. Boyle's signature and the Mayor or
Mr. Owen's signature, granting the City an easement of the
west 16 feet of Block 830 in exchange for the City closing
the alley in Block 830.
City .Attorney Askins read Ordinance 1367: AN ORDINANCE
VACATING, ABANDONING AND CLOSING ALL OF THE ALLEY IN BLOCK
EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTY-ONE (831), IN THE TOWN OF LA PORTE,
HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS;
and Ordinance 1368: AN ORDINANCE VACATING, ABANDONING AND
• CLOSING A PORTION OF SOUTH 15TH STREET; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.

Pfeiffer: Commended the staff for an excellent performance
on Ju y 4. Probably one of the largest turnouts we've had.
~: Also commended Mr. Owen and staff. The youngsters
seemed to really enjoy it; it was a wonderful thing for them.
Skelton.: Has Mr. Owen found out anything on the cat ordinance?
He is still getting calls regularly. Can we get more traps
or do we need this on a workshop?
Mr. Owen stated more traps will be added. Mayor Cline said
they work very successfully....
Malone: Commended the newspaper on the letter they published
about our Police Department. We need more letters like this
commending our Police Department and other City employees.
There has been a lot of flooding on "L" Street - he noticed
many cups and debris that had been thrown out along the high-
. way and they were blocking the drainage. We need to caution
people somehow to be more aware of not littering the streets.
Lon le Commended the Police Department on enforcing the
true ordinance in Fairmont Park subdivision. He saw them
helping one young man move his truck.
He is still having a problem with dogs.
Cline: Thanks for the many get well wishes received while
e was in the hospital and for the flowers. It made her
feel better to know someone was thinking about her.
A lot of work went into the fireworks display.- Tim Anderson,
Bill Baggett, Jackson Ray, Mark Lewis and Stan Sherwood spent
many hours setting up for the display. She very cautiously
set off the first fuse. They did an outstanding job and
they hope to keep improving it each year. .What the public
doesn't realize is that after the display is over there is
still a lot of work to be done, dismantling the mortars, etc.,
and this takes awhile, also.. They are to be commended, and
it is great that we have employees like that working for the
city.
16. There being no further business to be brought before the
Council, the meeting was duly adjourned at 9:16 p.m.

(b) Other public utilities will be checked by
the individual franchises; i.e. Entex,

(2) Does the street closing request "landlock" or
seriously diminish access of adjacent land? No - all oth~r~urroundina
ROW's are Qpen.
(3) Review the closing request in regards to future
needs (whether immediate or long-term) for:
(a) Utilities (water or sewer) A ~~nk main is or~.pgsed fQr the
14t~Street ROW from Fairmo~ P~„rk~y to,~~ "B" Streit ROW.
(b) Streets/Thoroughfares There are none,~~joRsed. 16th Street
cannot practically be widened. Therefore. if the need ever arose to increase
street pppa~ji<y the ability to construct one~wav couplets with 15th is lost.

..
developer must relgcate or shgw proposed. drainage pn hjs glans.

per ton on orders of less than 1000 tons. Azrock Industries Inc. will
offer a one year contract with a fixed price for ninety days. Any increase

Discussion:
• 1. The TDWR did not see any problem with the City of LaPorte
issuing separate contracts for cleaning and television
inspection of the sewers in the rehabilitation project
or for emergency repairs to the Catlett Lane sewer.
2. The EPA award amount will not be increased because of
any of the extenuating circumstances of the LaPorte
project. There is approximately $166,000 remaining in
the grant.
•
3. The TDWR stated that as long as remaining items for the
rehabilitation project had eligible cost equal to the
remaining .grant, the City of LaPorte could receive all
remaining grant money. The estimate of remaining eligible
cost for the project is over a half million dollars.
4. The effects of separate contracts for the project on bonding
is not the concern of the EPA or TDWR. The City of:LaPorte
should have its lawyer review the effects of separate con-
tracts on bonding.
5. Since LaPorte has a population less than 25,000, the appli-
cable 1978 procurement regulations provide the City of
LaPorte the option to negotiate directly for a new engineer.

Turner Collie & Braden Inc. is preparing engineering material
necessary to assist in immediate repair or replacement of the
2000+ feet of sanitary sewer line located in the back lot ease-
ments north of Catlett Street. This activity is a result of
the continuing interruptions to service being experienced by
the residents in the area and is at the directi.an of the City
staff as given in the meeting of June 23, 1~g3`.
As we discussed in the June 23 meeting, this action will require
removal of the subject length of line from the EPA funded project.
There appears to be more than a sufficient amount of work remaining
in the EPA project to expend the amount of EPA funding remaining.
It is our opinion, therefore, that this action should not have an
adverse effect on the amount of funding to be received by the City.
If you need further information, please call.
