CITY OF LA PORTE
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
`.CO: Jack Owen, City Manager ~ DATE: May 23, 1984
FROM: S1; ett, Assistant Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Airs w
Chapter 25 of the International Aerobatic Club has obtained a Certificate
of Waiver from the FAA to hold an airshow at the La Porte Municipal Airport
on May 26 and May 27, 1984. In addition to obtaining the waiver, airshow
sponsors were required to meet other criteria to hold the airshow.
Airshow sponsors are obtaining a $2,000,000 liability insurance policy
covering the day before, the two days of, and the day after the airshow.
A copy of the policy will be supplied to the City by Friday, May 25.
Parking will be across West Main on property owned by Eddie Gray. A letter
of permission will be supplied to the City from Mr. Gray to the airshow
sponsors. The' only parking allowed a~t; the airport will be VIP's, airshow
workers, and participants.
Because people attending the airshow will have to cross West Main from the
parking area, and because airshow traffic would create a congested situation
along West Main, which would drastically change flight patterns and altitudes
for airshow participants, Harris County has consented to the closing of West
Main between 26th Street and Farrington Blvd. West Main will be closed from
10:00 A.I~I. to 5:00 P.M. on both days.
In addition, Farrington Blvd. north of West Main will be closed, along with
the east end of all streets intersecting North Farrington to keep traffic off
the airport and out of the Glen Meadows~Subdivision. Driftwood Drive will also
be closed on the north end.
The Police Department will supply adequate manpower to close these streets
and to provide crowd control. In addition, the airshow sponsors have hired
security guards to partrol the airport perimeter and to'provide additional
crowd control. The Public Works Department will supply barricades and signs
necessary for the street closings.
.~

Airshow
May 23, 1981+
The La Porte Fire Department will provide on-site fire protection., including
a pumper truck. Because the La Porte Area Emergency Ambulance Corps is
unable to provide a unit at the airport and still provide adequate service,
the airshow sponsors have hired Chuck Curtis Ambulance S~ervic.e out of Pasadena
to provide this service. Fire and ambulance service is required on-site by
the FAA.
Runway 1+/22 (auxiliary runway) will be closed from 10:00 A.M. Saturday until
6:00 P.M. Sunday. Runway 12/30 (primary runway) will close 15 minutes before
the show starts, and will reopen at 4:00 P.M..on both days. Airshow sponsors
will monitor the unicorn frequency to warn transient traffic away while the
show is in progress.
Additional safety measures, required by the FAA, have been implemented that
will insure a safe and enjoyable airshow. Gates will open at 9:00 A.M. for
both days; the airshow begins at 1:00.P.M. and ends at 4:00 P.M.
Airshow sponsors have dedicated Monday, May 28, 1984 to cleaning up the airport.
The City will provide containers to speed up this process.
I will be at both performances to insure that all requirements of the City are
met, and to provide any additional services required of.Public~Works.
If you should have any questions, please advise.

THE STATE OF TEXAS §
§
COUNTY OF HARRIS §
This Agreement made and entered into by and between the CITY OF
LA PORTE, a municipal corporation, of Harris County, Texas, hereinafter
referred to as "CITY," and FAIRMONT PLAZA JOINT VENTURE, a Texas general
partnership, acting herein by and through its Managing Venturer,
WALKER L. NICHOLS, JR., hereinafter referred to as "FAIRMONT,"
W I T N E S S E T H:
I.
WALKER L. NICHOLS, JR., TRUSTEE, is the owner of Block 1097 and
Block 1098, Town of La Porte, Harris County, Texas. FAIRMONT has
heretofore filed a petition with CITY to vacate, close and abandon
the alley in Block 1097, and the right-of-way of 12th Street, from the
South right-of-way line of Fairmont Parkway to the North right-of-way
line of West "K" Street. The CITY OF LA PORTE has an existing thirty-
six inch (36") sanitary sewer main in the said right-of-way of South
12th Street. CITY is willing to pass ordinances vacating said alley,
and vacating said portion of said street right-of-way, upon the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in consideration thereof.
II.
CITY shall be responsible for the cost of relocation of such
thirty-six inch (36") sanitary sewer main and associated facilities,
from its present location in the 12th Street right-of-way, to a new
location in the 14th Street right-of-way from Fairmont Parkway to
West "K" Street. The relocated sanitary sewer main shall be installed
by the earliest to occur of (1) completion and occupancy of Fairmont
Plaza Shopping Center, or (2) within eighteen (18) months from the
date hereof, at a depth and grade to be established by the CITY'S
consulting engineers. All materials shall meet or exceed the specifi-
cations established by the CITY'S consulting engineers. Plans and
specifications for the proposed relocation of the thirty-six inch
(36") sanitary sewer main, shall be prepared by the CITY'S consulting
engineers.
-2-
III.
In order to induce CITY to pass such street and alley vacating
ordinances at this time, FAIRMONT herewith agrees to pay CITY the
sum of SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($75,000.00) cash, for the
re-location of such thirty-six inch (36") sanitary sewer main.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as waiving
any of CITY'S standard fees for vacating streets and alleys, nor,
thereafter, any of CITY'S fees under any ordinance which may be
applicable to the property.
IV.
FAIRMONT agrees to SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS the CITY from any loss,
claim, or liability, including reimbursement for any attorney's fees
which might be incurred by CITY in the defense of any such claim,
arising out of the abandonment by CITY of the thirty-six inch (36")
sewer line in the South 12th Street right-of-way, which said thirty-
six inch (36") sanitary sewer main shall be abandoned in place, and
shall not be removed by CITY. FAIRMONT, at its election, may choose
to pay the expense of injecting the plugged, abandoned portion of
such thirty-six inch (36") sanitary sewer main with grout or other
type of fill material, particularly beneath the portion of the property
on which FAIRMONT, its successors or assigns, may wish to construct
improvements. Nevertheless, whether or not FAIRMONT chooses to take
such protective measures, FAIRMONT agrees to be solely responsible
for any loss, claim or liability which might arise after the abandon-
ment of such sewer line, from or occasioned by such abandoned line
remaining under said former street right-of-way.
V.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, and
their successors and assigns.

Skelton: Believes the blue containers out. at Park and San

Requested that Council authorize the staff to have engineering
work .done for the concrete sidewalk on G Street from Broadway
to San Jacinto and recommends that Carlos Smitli:go ahead and
start on it so we can get it done before summer is over so
the kids can use it. They are walking out in the street and
it is extremely dangerous - someone's going to get run over
if we don't get that sidewalk in there.
Westergren: Thanks to staff for the float provided to Council
on Saturday. Enjoyed it very much, and appreciates the work
staff does getting it ready every year.
Concerned with containers also. The big problem with the place
on 8th Street with the boats, is the containers. They are in
the City's right-of-way, and it isn't a good place to have
those containers, especially when they block the biew. There's

those containers if they can't move them out of the right-
of-way. If someone hits one of them,.what's our liability?
(Asst. City Attorney answered the City would be liable.) We
need to take some action on these containers.
Malone: Thanks to Stan and staff for building such a nice
float, getting the uniforms and making all the arrangements.
The County poured an asphalt bike and walk .path down L Street

are having to walk on the street. Can staff check with the

Spoke with the .gentleman who lives on Merry Lane in the Lomax
area, and he would appreciate any.help~he can get reducing the
speed limit out there, as the gentleman is confined to a wheel
chair and the cars really are going fast. The man has a "go
cart" type wheeT~chair and gets on the road with it, and it is
dangerous for him. Understands there are signs that could be
put up like in Fairmont Park area warning drivers there is a
handicapped person in the neighborhood.
Owen: We are working on a speed zone ordinance at this time,.
but it will be quite awhile before it is completed. Will take
a look at that situation and see what's warranted.
Cline: In reading report from the fire department on fires
around, I think it might behoove the fire department and
staff to check some of the side streets. Thinks some culvert
pipes have been put in on some of the side streets and maybe
there is a shorter route to a fire hydrant than~th~e route they
have had to take.
