Council considered the sale .of a van to the Seamen's Center. Mr. Owen stated an informal appraisal had been made on the van by Joe Camp Ford, and that they placed an average value of $2,000 on the van. City Attorney Askins stated he had explored the various possibilities this van might be presented to the Seamen's Center, and that from a legal standpoint there is no way this could be done. However, there is a possibility that a contract could be worked out for the van to be used to trans- port seamen into La Porte to shop, etc., if the Council deter- mines this would be beneficial to the City. It was Council's consensus that they would like to help the Seamen's Center if at all possible. Motion was made by Councilperson Matuszak that the City Attorney look into the legalit of drawing up a contract with the Seamen's Center to provide transportation; for the value of the vehicle in kind.

Council considered the issuance of industrial revenue bonds to Process Products, Inc. This item was requested by Councilperson Gay, who had asked for tabling at the May 23 meeting so that he could talk with his constituents about it. Councilperson Gay asked that the City Attorney read the reso- lution on the issuance of these bonds if there was no further discussion. Councilperson Matuszak asked if the noise ordinance had been looked at to see what recourse was available if the noise livel gets too high. Mr.. Owen stated he had spoken with the Chief Building Official and the ordinance is very weak in that area. City Attorney Askins stated the proposed new zoning ordinance will be much more sophisticated on the technology of this type, and no existing use would be "grandfathered." • City Attorney Askins read: RESOLUTION 84,5 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING ISSUANCE BY THE CITY OF LA PORTE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AN ISSUE IN THE AMOUNT OF $500,000 OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BONDS (PROCESS PRODUCTS, INC. PROJECT) SERIES 1984; APPROVING THE RESO- LUTION OF THE ISSUER AUTHORIZING THE BONDS, THE ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS AUTHORIZED THEREBY AND THE PLAN OF FINANCING APPROVED THEREBY AND THE BOND DOCUMENTS; AND APPROVING THE PROJECT TO BE FINANCED WITH THE BONDS.

Council was to consider the request of Eddie Gray to close 17th Street between Blocks 1177 and 1178. This item was cancelled at the request of Mr. Gray because all of the paperwork was not completed. It will be~put on the agenda for the June 20 meeting. • 8. Administrative reports Mr. Owen reported the group from St. Petersburg visited and were very pleased with what they saw. Two more cities, Paris I • • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council • June 6, 1984, Page 4 and San Angelo, will be visiting soon. The reason they are interested in coming here is the way our personnel has accepted and worked with the data processing. All the credit for that goes to Bob Herrera and his staff of people who are working with that. The City Attorney has requested an executive session on a contractual matter. Mayor Cline added that a gentleman from Greenville had come up at the TML meeting in Corpus and was very complimentary to our staff and our data processing program. Councilperson Longley arrived at the Council table at 7:30 P.M. 9. Council Action Gam: Enjoyed the TML conference in Corpus. He got a lot out of it. Someone had spoken with him at the conference and told him they were coming to our city. Feels credit is due to Mr. Herrera. • Enjoyed seeing those that are out at the meeting tonight, in view of the bad weather we're having today. Skelton: Would like to go back to the same questions he asked the first of May - has anything been done on the sidewalk on G Street between Broadway and San Jacinto? (Mr. Owen replied a letter has been wr;iltten to Carlos Smith for a proposal for the alignment of the sidewalk there, with the idea of entering into a contract in the very near future for the design of that.) Second, the blue containers on Park Street have been moved a~ little closer to the roadway - it's about 12 to 14 inches now, so we are getting to the stripe. I do think the City has a liability there that's just staring us in the face. We need to get something done about that. Owen: We are working on that particular problem. The location sometimes gets to be a problem because they do have to be accessible to the trucks; unless we can get an off-street lo- cation, that sometimes gets to be quite a problem. Westergren: Her container problem has been solved. Now you can see at the corner of 8th and B without taking your life in your hands. • Longley: Pleased to see the quality of the programs at TML have improved.- it was very beneficial and he~is pleased with that. I C • Minues, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council • June 6, 1984, Page 5 Matuszak: Would like to poll Council about a resolution supporting the efforts of the group and the City of Shore- acres in opposing the operations of TXTX as it exists today. It is causing some damage and should be operated in a proper manner. They sank a barge out there a week ago Sunday and they are still in the process of trying to resurrect it. They are spilling this coke all over the place, and it is causing problems. Met with Richard Leish, executive director of the Port, this past Monday, and he was not exactly cooperative. They have the power to terminate this operation; as a matter of fact, they do not have, to the best of my knowledge, a written agreement with TXTX. It's operating on a pure verbal agree- ment. We got the opinion that, in effect, they didn't care. We are going to appear this coming Monday, at 2 P.M., in front of the Port commissioners and tell them our side of the story. Hopefully, we will get some responsible relief.. Mr. Leish said he could not do anything; it was up to the Port. (The Council indicated they would support the resolution if the City Attorney approved its content.) • Would like to look into getting some street lights at either end of . Driftwo.©d . There is a meter box on Redbud (later determined to be 3831 Redbizd)~ that is smashed and needs to be replaced. Graves: Inquired if swimming pool had closed that day (be- cause of the bad weather). Asked, in regards to the letter the City had received, if the Bayshore Company was under the impression they would have their streets paved almost immedi- ately of ter the limestone was put on it? I feel it was a little "pushy." I was almost offended by it. Cline: I think you'll find that was back in '78 or '79, and that was at the time they were told the City would top the streets as soon as they did the next year's budget or got their street list prepared. And that's how long they've been waiting. Pfeiffer: Congratulations to the Mayor on her election as president of the Texas Mayors, Councilmembers and Commissioners Association. The Mayor did a fine job of representing the City this past weekend, and thanks to all the Council who at- tended. We had some good seminars, the fellowship was~enjoy- able, and I appreciate the opportunity to go. Good luck to • the Mayor in serving her term. I Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte Eity Council • June 6, 1984, Page 6 Malone: That comes from all of us, Mayor. Cline: It is quite an honor to serve as president of the State Association of Mayors, Councilmembers and Commissioners, and I think we did have some good programs in Corpus Christi this year, and some informative ones. I think that was due to the work of~the committee that I chaired, and the fact that we had ~.ome people that have been attending seminars and had a good feeling for what we needed. I attended one of the sessions on industrial revenue bonds, and there are some changes coming on the bonds. What changes, no one knows for sure, but there are changes coming. We may have to redefine ours before too long, and when the Federal govern- ment gets through they'll probably have a "per cap" on them. I just wanted to let the Council know there are going to be some changes. I think they're kind of putting a clamp and a frown on commercial and retail business, and for some small cities, I think that's really unfair, because they need it, like we do. Thoroughly enjoyed the two speakers • lightened the whole day. I enjoyed there to support me Saturday at the have another good one next year. 10. Council recessed into executive ses turned to the Council table at 8:25 at the lunches; they having all the Council election, and hope we'll lion at 7:41 P.M. and re- P.M. 11. There being no further business to come before the~Council, the meeting was duly adjourned at 8:25.05 P.M.
