• Matuszak: Congratulations to Bobby Powell for.. his fine work.
It is great to see the bond sale going.. ahead. It's a grand
day for the junk autos; this, plus a few other ordinances,
combined with our master plan, and we're going to have one
fine city here.
Much encouraged at the last meeting; many innovative approaches
linking the city. Everyone should come to the meeting on Feb-
ruary 6; it will be the unvEiling of the next decade of plan-
ning as we see it.
Pfeiffer: Would also like to congratulate_Bobby. The police
have a thankless job; it takes a special kind of person to per-
form a job that these gentlemen do.
Welcomed Doug to the city and hope we can make him feel a part
of the good family we have here.
Skelton: Would like. to also congratulate Bobby. We're real
proud of you and the whole organization there.- In fact, we're
proud of all the city employees.
Has. been looking at the dog ordinance.,. and would like for staff
to bring it up to date. For example, boarding charges are too
low. We need to tighten the ordinance. up before there is an
outbreak of disease or something of thaw nature. We-need to
• fix it where we could go onto people's property, if necessary,
to pick up an animal.
Welcome on board to Doug.

Section 4. SECURITY OF BONDS
The Bonds are secured by and payable (until all
the territory within the District is annexed, all properties
and assets of the District are taken over and all debts,
liabilities and obligations of the District, including the
Bonds, are assumed by one or more cities and the District is
abolished pursuant to existing Texas law) from and are
secured by (i) the levy of a continuing, direct annual ad
valorem tax, without limit as to rate or amount, upon all
taxable property within the District; and (ii} a lien on and
pledge of the net revenues from the operation of the District's
waterworks and sanitary sewer systems after deduction of
reasonable costs of administration, efficient operation and
adequate maintenance of the District's service facilities,
in the manner provided by Section 51.450(b)(3) of the Texas
Water Code, as amended, as follows:
4.01. Levy of Tax. While. the Bonds, or any part
of the principal thereof or interest thereon, remain out-
standing and unpaid, there shall be levied, assessed and
collected in due time, form and manner an ad valorem tax on
all taxable property within the District, which tax shall be
sufficient to pay each installment on the principal of the
Bonds as it matures and each installment on the interest of
the Bonds as it accrues.
For the current year there is hereby levied, and
for each year thereafter while the Bonds, or any part of the
principal and interest thereof, are outstanding and unpaid,
there shall be and is hereby levied, an ad valorem tax upon
all taxable property within the District sufficient in
amount to pay the interest on the Bonds, together with an
additional amount to be placed in the sinking fund sufficient
to redeem and discharge such bonds at their maturity, full
allowance being made for delinquencies and cost of collection,
and such tax for the current year and each year thereafter
shall be assessed, collected and applied to the payment of
interest on and principal of said bonds; provided that at
such time as the net revenues from the operation of the
District's waterworks and sanitary sewer system, after
payment of reasonable administration, operation and main-
tenance expenses, which net revenues are hereafter pledged
to the payment of the Bonds, together with the money derived
from taxes, in the sinking fund may have accumulated a
surplus equal to the sum to be required in the succeeding
year to liquidate the interest and principal of the District's
bonds maturing in that year, the District's annual tax
levies may be lowered to produce not less than twenty-five
per centum (25%) of all bond maturities for such succeeding
year, until an actual experience of three successive years
-12-
.~.
•
may demonstrate that the net revenues are wholly adequate to
protect the District's bonds as they mature; and at such
time the District's tax may be wholly abated, until further
experience may demonstrate the necessity again to exert the
District' taxing power in order to avoid default in the
payment of the District's said bonds as they mature.
4.02. Taxation for Benefit of Bonds by Annexing
Cif. The obligations of the District to levy a tax without
limit as to rate and amount on taxable property within the
District and to pledge and collect the net revenues from
operation of the System shall terminate when and if a city,
town or village annexes the District, takes over the proper-
ties of the District and assumes the debts, liabilities and
other obligations of the District and abolishes the District
and the annexing city, town or village shall be required to
provide for the payment of principal and interest on the
Outstanding Bonds, the Bonds and any Additional Bonds in the
manner now or hereafter required by law. Nothing contained
herein shall impair the bondholders' rights to full payment
of principal and interest on the Outstanding Bonds, the
Bonds and any Additional Bonds by requiring the levy of ad
valorem taxes within the District after annexation, if
• necessary.
4.03. Incorporation of Certain Terms. Except
where inconsistent with the provisions of this Order, Sections
X and XI of the Bond Order adopted by the Board of Directors
on September 13, 1968, ordering to be issued the District's
Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Tax and Revenue
Bonds, Series 1968, are hereby adopted by reference, and
same shall apply with equal force to the bonds ordered to be
issued by this Order as if said sections were fully set
forth herein.
Section 5. APPLICATION OF BOND PROCEEDS
Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be dis-
bursed in accordance with this Section.
5.01. Accrued Interest. Moneys received from the
purchasers of the Bonds representing accrued interest on the
Bonds from the Initial Date or the last interest payment
date to the date of their actual delivery shall be deposited
into the Bond Fund.
5.02. Interest During Construction. The Board
affirmatively finds that the period of construction of the
improvements described in Section 5.03 hereof will be not
less than six months from the date the Bonds are sold. To
establish an interest and sinking fund for the payment of
the interest during the first six months on the Bonds, there
is hereby appropriated and set aside out of the proceeds of
the sale of the Bonds an amount sufficient to pay said
interest during said period.
5.03. Construction Fund. The proceeds of the
sale of the Bonds, as received, after making the deposits
hereinbefore provided, shall be deposited into the Construc-
tion Fund and shall be used solely for the payment of the
expenses incidental to the issuance of the Bonds, including
fiscal, legal and engineering fees and expenses, and the
costs of the construction and/or purchase and acquisition of
the System, including without limitation the facilities,
plants, equipment, improvements and rights set forth in the
Engineer's Report filed in the office of the District,
-13-
n
c:
amounts due under contracts and expenses incidental to the
organization and administration of the District, all to the
extent authorized or permuted under applicable law including
the Regulations and orders of the Department.
5.04. Surplus Construction Funds. Any moneys
remaining in the Construction Fund after completion of the
entire System shall be deposited into .the System Fund to be
used, subject to the regulations of the Department, by the
District in the same manner as other moneys in the System
Fund are used.

original certificate. The Bank will pay on behalf of the
District the principal of a Bond for which it receives
written representation such Bond is destroyed, lost or
stolen following the stated maturity or redemption of the
Bond, without the surrender or production of the original
certificate.
The Bank will not issue a replacement Bond or pay
such replacement Bond for a lost, stolen or destroyed Bond
unless there is delivered to the Bank such security or
indemnity as it may require (which may be by the Bank's
blanket bond) to save both the Bank and the District harmless.
On satisfaction of the Bank and the District, the
certificate number on the Bond Register will be cancelled
with a notation that it has been mutilated, destroyed, lost

standing.

Bond the Bank's fees and expenses in connection with issuing
a new Bond in lieu of or exchange for a multilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Bond.

blanket bond for lost, stolen, or destroyed certificates and
any future substitute blanket bond for lost, stolen, or
destroyed certificates that the Bank may arrange and that
has substantially the same coverage, and agrees that the
coverage under any such blanket bond is acceptable to it and
meets the District's requirements as to security or indemnity.
The blanket bond utilized for the purpose of lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificates by the Bank shall be available for
inspection by the District on request.

Re: LAI Properties, Inc. - City of La Porte Industrial
Tax P4atters
Dear Mr. Askins:
Pursuant to your letter to me of January 9, 1984, my client,
LAI Properties, Inc., has agreed to accept the offer of the City
of La Porte, as outlined in your letter.
•
Therefore, I am enclosing to you, two original Industrial
District Agreements, on your standard form, fully executed by LAI
Properties, Inc., together with a check payable to the City of La
Porte, for $14,891.80. The enclosed check is being tendered to
the City as payment in full of all taxes, penalties and interest
due to the City from LAI Properties, Inc. for the years 1983,
1982 and any prior years. In addition, the enclosed payment is
being tendered upon the condition that the City of La Porte (and
all of the "City Commissioners", as well as yourself) fully
execute both of the enclosed Industrial District Agreements and
return one original, fully executed copy to me for my files.
You should note that the following minor additions have been
made to the standard agreement:
1. Legal descriptions for the property have been added as
Exhibits "A" and "B", with reference on page 1;
2. The Agreements have been dated January 1, 1984; and
•
3. On page 10 of the Agreement, I have added a one-sentence
paragraph making reference to Exhibit "C", which is simply
the paragraph you drafted relating to our "settlement" of
this matter, with minor revisions noted in the separate
red-lined copy of said paragraph which I have enclosed for
your convenience.

As we discussed on January 16, 1984, I (and my client)
assume that (and our tender of the enclosed check is also
conditional upon your representation that) the necessary
approvals from the City of La Porte have been received by LAI
Properties, -Inc. to correct their water problems on their
industrial site in La Po rte.
If this letter and the enclosures are acceptable to you and
the City, please give me a call and have these instruments
executed at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your
assistance in concluding this matter.
Very truly yours,

the foregoing and and to .the later provisions of this Agreement,
City does further covenant, agree and guarantee .that such industrial
district, to the extent that it covers said land lying within said
District and not now within the corporate limits of City, or to be
annexed under the. provisions of Article II hereof, shall be immune
from annexation by City during the term hereof (except as hereinafter
~_
provided) and shall have no right to have extended to it any services
by City, and that, all of said land, including that which has been
heretofore or which may be annexed pursuant to the later provisions
of this Agreement, shall not have extended to it by ordinance any
' rules and regulations (a) governing plats and subdivisions of land,
(b) prescribing any building, electrical, plumbing or inspection
code or codes, or (c) attempting to exercise in any manner whatever
control over the conduct of business thereon; provided, however, it
is agreed that. City shall have the right to institute or intervene
in any judicial proceeding authorized by~the Texas Water Code or the
Texas Clean Air Act to the same extent and.to the same intent and
effect as if all land covered by this Agreement were located within

II.
(A) A portion of '._ie hereinabove described property has hereto-
fore been annexed by City. Company has filed with City, coincident
with the execution hereof, its petition to City to annex an addi-
tional portion of thehereinabove described property, to the end
that twenty=five per cent (25$) of the total value of the land and
improvements hereinabove described shall be wnnexed to City. Com-
pany agrees to render anc] pay full City ad valorem taxes on such
annexed land and improvements, and tangible personal property.

annexed area to the end that Company's payment of taxes on the
annexed area, combined with. its payment of "in lieu of taxes"
on the unannexed area, will equal forty-five percent (45~) of
the amount of ad valorem taxes which would be payable to City
by Company if all of the hereinabove described property had
been within the corporate limits of City.
(B) The Texas Property Tax Code (S. B. 621, Acts. of the 65th
Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1979) will be effective for 1982
and. subsequent years hereunder. Under the terms of said. Act, the
appraised value for tax purposes of the annexed portion of land,
improvements, and tangible. personal property shall be determined by
the Harris County Appraisal District. The parties hereto recognize
that said District has no authority to appraise the .land, improve-
ments, and tangible personal property in the unannexed area for the
purpose of computing the "in lieu" payments .hereunder. Therefore,
for 1982 and subsequent years. under this Agreement, the parties
agree that the appraisal of the land, improvements, and tangible
personal property in the unannexed area shall be conducted by City,
at City's expense, by an independent appraiser of City's selection.

payment purposes, such appraiser must of necessity appraise the
entire (annexed and unannexed) land, improvements, and tangible
personal property. Company agrees to render and pay fu1l.City ad
valorem taxes on such annexed land, improvements, and tangible per-
. sonal property.
(1) For tax year 1982 and thereafter, Company also agrees to
render to City and pay an amount "in lieu of taxes" on Company's
land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the un-
annexed area equal to forty-five percent (45~) of the amount of
ad valorem taxes which would Ise payable to City if all of the
hereinabove described property had been witf~~in the corporate

limits of City and appraised by City's independent appraiser,
reduced by the amount of City's ad valorem tax on the annexed
portion thereof as determined by appraisal by the Harris County
Appraisal District..
Nothing contained in Article II(B)(1) shall ever be construed
as in derogation of the authority of the Harris County Appraisal
District to establish the appraised value or Lana, imj~rvveiueu~5,

tax purposes.
III.
This Agreement shall extend fora period beginning on the 1st day
of January, 1980, and continue thereafter until December 31, 1986,
unless extended for an additional period or periods of time upon mutu-
al consent of Company and City as provided by the tunicipal Annexation
Act; provided, however, that in the event this Agreement is not so.
extended for an additional period or periods of time on or before
August 31, of the final calendar year of~ the term hereof , the agree-
ment of City not to annex property of Company within the District
shall terminate. In .that event, City shall have the right to com-
mence immediate annexation proceedings as to all of Company's property
covered by this Agreement, notwithstanding any of the terms and pro-
visions of this agreement, and in such event Company agrees that if
the Texas Municipal Act, Article 970a (V.A.T.S.), is hereafter amended
or any new legislation is enacted by the Legislature of the State of
Texas which imposes greater restrictions on the right of City to
ar,ne:: land belonging to Company or imposes further obligations on
City in connection therewith after the annexation of such land,
Company will waive the right to require City to comply with any such
additional restrictions or obligations and the rights of the parties
shall he then determined in accordance with the provisions of said
Texas Municipal Annexation Act as the same exists on the date of

execution of this Agreement. This Agreement may be extended for an
additional period or periods by agreement between City and Company
.and/or its assigns even though. it is not extended by agreement
between City and all of the owners of all land within the District•
of which it is a part. In this connection, City hereby. expresses
its belief that industrial district agreements of the kind made
• herein are conducive to the development of existing and future indus-
try and are to the best interest of all citizens of City and encour-
age~future City Commissions to enter into future industrial district
agreements and to extend for additional periods permitted by law
this Industrial District .Agreement upon request of Company or its
assigns; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to obligate either party hereto to agree to an extension of
this Agreement.
IV.

above described property to be. Both parties agree to thereupon
enter into good faith negotiations in an attempt to reach an agree-
ment as to the market value of .Company's property for "in lieu"
purposes hereunder. If, after the expiration of thirty (30) days
from the date- the notice of disagreement was received by City, the

any such disagreement by Company, Company agrees to pay to City
on or before December 31 of each year during the term hereof, at
least the total of (a) the ad valorem taxes on the annexed portions,

Chief Judge of the U. S. District Court for the Southern Dis-
trict of Texas appoint the third arbitrator who, (as the "In~~-
partial Arbitrator") shall preside over the arbitration pro-

shall be resolution of the difference between the parties as
to the fair market value of Company's property for calculation
of the "in lieu" payment and total payment hereunder for the
year in question. The Board shall hear and consider all rele-
want and material evidence on that -issue including expert
opinion, and shall render its written decision as promptly as
practicable. That decision shall then be final and binding
upon the parties, subject only to judicial review as may be

Costs of the arbitration shall. be shared equally by the Com-
pany and the City, provided that each party shall bear its
own attorneys fees.
(C) Should the provisions of .Article II(B) of this Agreement
become impossible of enforcement because of (1) the invalidity or
unenforceability of the Texas Property Code (S.B. 621, Acts of the
65th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1979), or any relevant
provision thereof, or (2) because of any material delay or failure

to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding.

SUBJECT: Sealed Bid 40028 - Annualwing Contract
Advertised sealed bids 440028 for the selection of a mowing contractor were opened
and read in City Council Chambers January 16, 1984 at 4 p.m. A total of nine bid
invitations were sent to area contractors with bids being returned by Gus Brieden
Mowing and Sentell Lawn Maintenance of La Porte.
•
The successful contractor will be required to mow lots, undivided acreage, and/or
residential homesites on which complaints have been properly filed with the Code
Enforcement Division. The contract is currently held by Sentell Lawn Maintenance
of La Porte and is presently being operated under a temporary extension of the
original agreement.
The bid submitted by Gus Brieden Mowing was low bid in three out of five catagories
and the contractor indicates he will meet all the requirements set forth by the
City of La Porte. I therefore recommend awarding the low bid-for the City of La
Porte's Annual Mowing Contract to Gus Brieden Mowing and that a one-year contract
be executed.
I trust this recommendation will meet with your approval.
