The trip to Washington was very productive.' Felt very good when we left that we had accomplished a lot.. TML is as ac- tive up there in promoting our special needs that Texas has as they are effective in taking our stands against our Texas legislators. It was an~excellent trip. Happy to hear about our hospital. How do we stand on our ice cream vendor ordinance? We need to pull that one out and rush that one through. Graves: Driving in he had noticed some green stakes wuth red signs - some of them seem to too close to the roadway, especially one by the picture show. Sidewalk or street lights need to be started in the area of G Street from Broadway to San Jacinto. Funds are budgeted, and we need to get started on it. • Pfeiffer: Had inquired about a traffic light at Farrington and Fairmont Parkway. People are having trouble getting onto Fairmont, particularly at the peak :travel hours. The State was working today on 8th Street and Main. When are we going to take over maintenance~of that? G-~': Thanks for coming out. Grateful to Mrs. Lawler for coming to'solicit funds for the~Seameri's Center. Hopes there is some way this city can help in some capacity. The trip to Washington was very educational to him; some of the legislation they were working on, especially prayer in the school. I Skelton: ;Would like to .echo comments of Councilman Matuszak and Councilman Gay on the trip to Washington. It was certainly informative. I got hold of an old copy of a National Cities Weekly. I left you all a copy of Status of Major. Legislation in Congress Affecting Cities that I copied from it. I think the Council needs this magazine; it is loaded with things that :~ will help the cities. The National League~of Cities is doing a fine job,~but I think TML is doing a better job. And TML, through our help, reversed the NLC position on cable TV. • Has been getting calls on restoration of Sylvan Beach. Today's paper indicated Precinct 2 has recieved~ over $2 million for I Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 14, 1984, Page 6 their parks; doesn't know how much will go.to Sylvan Beach. Wondered if any others have been getting calls regarding the restoration of Sylvan Beach. In looking into the noise that we're getting, finds that the noise pollution can be stopped only in the industrial zone. Residential or commercial doesn't have anything on noise. We need to look at that and get something on noise pollution. We've got a lot of dogs running loose in my neighborhood. Has been getting complaints. Has had some letters regarding street work about wondering when and if they're going to fix the driveways. Letters were issued, but evidently people didn't get the, or go to the front door, and were unaware of them. Westergren: Has noticed for the last three weeks about dogs - especially on Saturday mornings. • Have we made any arrangements for the opening of the new addi- tions to the fire station? Would like to see one of our native- born citizens, George Sharp, Sr., recognized at the open house. He's been a mayor of La Porte, a commissioner, and is the sole surviving council member from the time they built the original "new" city hall back in the 1930's. I think on this occasion we really ought to recognize him. Malone: I'm going to mention dogs, too. trailer park says they'll come pick up a she'll go back and check and the dog wil is one trailer that has 16 dogs; some of up twice. I don't know what we can do - picking them up. A 'lady in Mr. Post's dog and an hour later 1 be there again. There them have been picked the dog catcher is Mr. Owen, have. ~you~ and Jerry discussed a bridge ~on~ H Street . there ~at Big Island Slough ~jus~t before ~you~ get to. th.e west end of H Street? I have. ~talked~ to' a scPiool~ member and they said if they could get 'a bridgethere ~it would save ~a lot .of time. and effort the bus going down and turning around. The bus can't go down and turn around now~and the kids have~to walk about a quarter of a mile ~to get on the bus,.and it would help when they make the rounds. If we~did that we'd certainly need a red light a t Underwood and H .S tr~eet .~ Cline: Big Island Slough is a. Harris County.Flood~Control ditch • ~ and to bridge that' you'd have. to get Harris. County to. do it . I lJ • • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 14, 1984, Page 7 Skelton: When we paved H Street several people inquired if we were going to put a bridge there, and indicated they didn't want one. There is~a recommendation forthcoming from the consultants on the transportation plan that I don't know if it goes across H, but H is part of the east-west thoroughfare, if I remember right. Malone: One more thing, Mayor. I'd like to thank Jerry, Mr.•Owen and the rest of the staff for the work they're doing. I've had real good cooperation with them. • Longley: Explained how he solved his dog problem. Also, Jerry's doing a good job taking down the Fairmont sewer plant. Cline: Reiterated the report on the Washington trip. The highlight was seeing the~President and hearing him speak. • Had putt a copy in Councils mail box a resolution presented to the Chamber of Commerce pertaining to TXTX Corporation. The people in Shoreacres and that area have been having a real problem with them. They have made~a permit to the Corps of Engineers to construct a bulk transfer facility in the vicinity of Barbour's Cut terminal. They have not been required to give an invironmental impact statement and that has everyone puzzled and a little upset. The date for comments deadline was March 12; however, Mr. McElvogue of Morgan's~Point said today that that is going to be extended. I would like for the City of La Porte to consider whether or not they would have~any comments or to go on record as to any comments as to this facility being relocated to upper Galveston Bay. Pfeiffer: ~I had some conversation with Dr. Yoder, who lives in the residential area closest to it, and they had .some new carpet ruined from tracking the coal dust, or whatever it is, in from the back yard. I would like to see the City write a letter and go on record as opposing the relocation. Skelton: I hear the noise from this plant presently, and I am just across the bay from them. Unless you are a real sound sleeper, it will bother you all night, and so I think once they move further east it will probably be~less. • Cline: The purpose of Mr. McElvogue ~preseriting~the resolution today was to ask for a public hearing to beheld on this so people could get some answers to their questions and make this • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 14, 1984, Page 8 company come and tell what they're going to do and also what they're going to do to eliminate the problem they're having in Shoreacres with the coal dust blowing. I've heard of some peo- ple down there even having their air conditioners stopped up from it and cars almost ruined. The thing that concerns me is their project location - the request they put in to the Corps of Engineers said that there was not an environmental impact statement required. You can't tell me that when they get out in the channel and start dredging, driving pilings, etc., that's not going to be an impact on the aquatic environment? Matuszak: I'd think they'd have to be in violation of TACB regulations. Cline: No; Air Control says they don't have anybody to regulate them . General discussion followed. • 16. There was no executive session. 17. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was duly. adjourned at 9:26 P.M.

The FAA has indicated that the certificate will be issued when. special provisions and conditions are met - primarily safety measures. Although the primary responsibility for safety and operation of the airshow rests with the sponsoring organization, Chapter 25 of the International Aerobatic Club, the City will need to provide an ambulance and fire protection at the airport while the show is in progress, in addition to crowd and automobile traffic control. • Representatives of Chapter 25 of the International Aerobatic Club will be a the Council Meeting on March 14, 1984, to present their plan to meet FAA requirements and to request services needed from the City.

Fairmont LaPorte, Texas. 77571 ~ear• Mr. Owen This letter is to introduce International Aerobatic Club Chapter 25 and hopefully enlist your support in putting on one of the finest air shows ever seen in Texas. IAC Chapter 25 is a nonprofit organization whose primary interest is flying, promoting and competing in aerobatics. This year one of our members, Deborah Rihn, won a place on the~U.S.A. Team which will compete in the World Aerobatics Competition which will be held in Hungary in August of this year. Another of our members, Dr. Eo~in Harvey was selected as the team physician. We are duly proud. • We, the air show, would intend to make a donation to the Aerobatics Foundation in the name of our two members and to support their efforts. The rest of the money above the club's operating cost would go to the charities of the choice of the donors and contributors. Some of the major contributors already pledged are: Coors Pepsi, Red Barron Pizza, Gullo Haas, Bud, Harold's, Monterrey House and Casa Ole. We expect all three major T.V. Networks to give us advertising and to be there to cover the flying. We welcome all civic and ,charitable organizations to participate to whatever extent they can. We intend to have the airshow Memorial Weekend, May 26, 27. We think LaPorte would be a great place. We would expect 10 to 15,000 visitors each day. IAC 25 has at this time arranged for total insurance coverage for the day before and day after with a $2,000,000 limit. We will be happy to send you a copy of the certificate as soon as we receive it.

There was a severe oil leak on the auxillary diesel engine, brakes were locking, safety brake was not holding, the main hydraulic cylinder rods were bent and hydraulic performance was poor. Hiway Equipment, sole distributor for this machine in this area, was called in several times to determine the cause of the problems, but could not without taking the machine to their shop and tearing it down. Facilities and personnel at the Equipment Services Division were not adequate to fix problems of this magnitude, in addition to the extra workload due to the clean-up. No firm estimate could be given without complete disassembly. In addition, several drainage projects were underway, (Idaho, Nugent, Ohio, N. lst), and time was essential to keep projects moving. Hiway Equipment stated that the machine could be repaired in their shop in eight (8) days. Because of the mechanical and safety problems, and on-going projects, it was decided to send the machine in and have all necessary repairs performed. The rear engine required rebuilding, at a total cost of $2,990.49. Total labor and parts for repair of brake and hydraulic system totaled $4,010.37. Total repair for entire machine totaled $7,000.86. Due to the unknown extent of repairs needed, the safety hazard, and the need for the machine to continue drainage projects, together with the sole source vendor willing to do the job in eight (8) days, repairs were authorized. I recommend that City Council approve payment for the repairs from the Equipment Maintenance Account of the Street Division budget. If you should have any questions, please advise.

As you are aware, Cities For Responsible Cable is a coalition of Texas cities (see attached list) that was formed in mid-1983. Our goal is to thwart the passage of federal legislation designed to preempt t}~e authority of cities to regulate cable TV rates and services at the local level. • The coalition's efforts have focused on two particularly detrimental bills pend- ing in Congress--S. 66 and H.R. 4103. If either of these bills were enacted into law, municipal regulation of CATV would be almost totally eliminated. The city co~incil would no longer have the power to regulate basic service rates. Also, any company providing service in a community would have a virtually abso- lute right to have its franchise renewed whether or not such renewal was in the public interest. Moreover, cable operators would have the right, existing fran- chise provisions notwithstanding, fo delete service offerings without the city's approval. During the seven months since its formation, Cities For Responsible Cable Policy has been successful on a number of fronts. First, we have been instrumental in keeping S. 66 and H.R. 4103 stalled in House committee in Congress. fJithout the coalition's active opposit.ton, it is likely that the legislation would have already passed. Secondly, the coalition has played a key part in organizing nationwide opposi- tion to S. 66 and H~.R. 4103. Prior to the formation of Cities For Responsible Cable Policy, interest in the cable issue was, because of lack of information, limited. Now, however, hundreds of cities across the country have joined in the battle . And finally, our coalition was successful in getting the National League of Cities to reverse its position on this issue. Previously, NLC had supported legislation that would have diluted the cities' CATV regulatory powers. Now, • in response to pressure brought by t}ie coalition, NLC is supporting our goal of preserving the cities' basic regulatory powers. ~~ : • • These achievements were made possible because of financial assistance provided by your city and the 195 other municipalities that contributed to our effort. • Participating cities collectively contributed $62,b48, of which $61,541 was paid out in attorney's fees for direct lobbying in Washington, and $1,107 was ex- pended on mailings and other administrative items. Based on the record, these funds obviously were well spent. At this juncture, it is necessary for us to request that your city provide addi- tional financial support to Cities For Responsible Cable Policy. Our nominal expenditures to date have yielded substantial results, but S. 66 and H.R. 4103 ti are still very much alive, and it will take considerable money and on-site work in Washington by our coalition lobbyists in order to prevent the passage of tt-ese bills. Your city's financial assistance is urgently, and immediately, needed. I,le are requesting contributions according to the following schedule: City Population Contribution Less than 1,000 $150 1,000 to 4,999 250• 5,000 to 9,999 ~ 500 10,000 to 25,000 750 Over 25,000 1~` per capita, minimum of $750 Without the active financial support of Texas cities, chances are that we will lose everything to the national cable lobby. With your help, we stand a chance of preventing the cable industry from taking away all of our CATV regulatory powers. • Please use the enclosed form to advise us whether your city can participate. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely yours, STEERING COMMITTEE, CITIES FOR RESPONSIBLE CABLE POLICY: Kathy Wetherby, Councilmember, Ft.
