Administrative Reports: Mr. Owen reported we have now received enough information from Harris County Appraisal District to be able to consider a tax rate, and asked for a workshop on October 24 to discuss this matter so that it can be placed on the first regular meeting in November to adopt the rate if Council sees fit. He added his congratulations to Lt. LaFitte on his hard work in getting his Masters degree. Mr. Owen stated that the HCAD Board of Directors had unanimously voted to direct their chief appraiser to present a revised budget proposal within 30 days for the Board to consider. Another thing the Board did was to vote unanimously to have two-year appraisals on real property, to be done in even numbered years. The Chairman of the Appraisal Board, Fred Hartman, has resigned, and we will need to join with other cities to • replace him. Mayor Cline commented that November 1 is the deadline for submitting a name for the Appraisal Board, and suggested that since we are going to have a workshop on October 24, perhaps we should also have a special called meeting that night to submit a name. She also noted that HCAD had set some public hearings on their budget, but was not sure of the dates. 16. Council Action: Ma one: Would like an executive session on land acquisiton. Inquired what kind of building was going up on Fairmont Parkway by the car wash - the metal building. (Was told it~is going to be mini-storage, but the metal is not the exterior finish.)

Its wonderful to see people working for the City that go out and• seek to better their education and better themselves for the City. Would like to know the status of the sidewalk from Broadway to San Jacinto on G Street.

BOX 2628, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77001 October 5, 1984 Mayor and City Council City of La Porte La Porte, Texas RE: Statement of Intent to Change Rates Ladies and Gentlemen: Entex is providing high quality natural gas service to the City of La Porte while at the same time maintaining the lowest practical rates. For many years Entex has made annual rate adjustments to reflect increases in its operating expenses; however, these adjustments have not taken into account increases which Entex has experienced in either its cost of money or in its investment in plant equipment needed to provide service to its customers. As a result of the increases experienced in these costs, Entex is requesting a revision of its rates currently in effect. Accordingly, Entex files this Statement of Intent with • attached Residential Rate Schedule No. R-870-1 and Commercial Rate No. SC-870-1 containing the proposed revisions in our Schedule of 'Rates applicable in your City. The proposed revisions amount to an increase of $1.15 per month for each domestic customer in your City and are identical to the rate revisions being made in other areas of Entex's Texas Coast Division. This change is computed by comparing Entex's Texas Coast Division cost of money and net investment per customer in 1976 with the corresponding figures for June 30, 1984. The proposed revisions are to become effective with bills rendered on and after November 9, 1984. The revisions proposed in this filing are shown in italics on the attached rate schedules. As you will note, the revisions include changes in each block of the Net Monthly Rate, the Minimum Monthly Bill, and in the Purchased Gas Adjustment Provision. Changes in the first block of the Net Monthly Rate and the Minimum Monthly Bill reflect the $1.15 per month increase. The other changes are the result of rolling in Entex's current cost of gas into the Net Monthly Rate and do not affect the overall price paid by customers. • • Mayor and City of La October 5, City Council Porte 1984 • The effect of these new rate schedules is to increase the company's revenues by approximately $65,688 per year. The new rate schedules will increase charges to residential and small commercial customers and adjust charges to large volume customers. Entex serves approximately 4,486 residential customers, 256 small commercial customers, and 18 large volume customers in your city. The proposed revisions do not institute a "major change" as said term is defined in Section 5.08 (b) of the Gas Utility Regulatory Act of 1983. No action on the Council's part is required to permit these proposed rates to become effective. If you desire any additional information concerning these changes, we will be available at any time to discuss them with you. Very truly yours, ~~~ Guy Dawkins .

BOX 937, LA PORTE, TEXAS 77571 • October 5, 1984 Honorable Mayor and City Council Dear City Official: • r -; - Attached is a booklet explaining the requested $1.15 per month rate adjustment. I xould like ~o emphasize a few important factors. The last general rate increase was filed in 1976. During the past eight years we have made no adjustments to our rates for the increased capital cost, associated with our investment in distribution plant and facilities. From July 1, 1976, through June 30, 1984, we have invested approximately $21.6 million for replacement, improvements and additions to our distribution systems in the Texas Coast Division. Out net investment in plant increased by $10.6 million from $15.5 million at December 31, 1976, to $26.0 million at June 30, 1984. At the same time, the cost of money required to support this investment has increased 3.41 percentage points under the most conservative measurement possible. The factors, taken together xith the ongoing need for futher investment in our system, make it essential for us to request a small adjustment in our rates. This $1.15 per month adjustment is an increase of approximately 3~ based on the average bill of $36.65. Entex wishes to assure you that we will continue to do everything possible to keep our rates as low as possible without jeopardizing the quality of service to our customers.

The designees must be elected official mem- • tiers of your city's governing body (Bylaws attached). A dinner meeting of home rule city representatives is scheduled for Novem- ber 8th. Details of this meeting will be sent to you when arrangements have been completed. At that meeting your 1984 H-GAC Board representatives will report on this year's activities, and look ahead to issues and progress of 1985. Your attendance and participation in this meeting is particularly valu- able, since it gives your representatives and the H-GAC staff insight on your wishes and needs. The main business item for the meeting will be selection of two representatives to serve as 1985 members of the H-GAC Board of Direc- tors (Bylaws attached). An agenda for the dinner meeting will be forwarded to your representatives as soon as we have received your official designations.

Main La Porte, Texas 77571 • P. O. BOX 1115 • LA FORTE. TEXAS 77571 Re: The La Porte Area Emergency Corps, Contract with Morgan's Point Dear Mayor and Council: Please take this letter as notice from the City of La Porte and the La Porte Area Emergency Corps, that the La Porte Area Emergency Corps shall become a Department within the City of La Porte (that is the Department of Emergency Medical Services), effective October 1, 1984. As part of this aquisition by the City of La Porte of the La Porte Area Emergency Corps, the City of La Porte has agreed to take over all assets and assume all liabilities of the La Porte Area _- Emergency Corps as of October 1, 1984. • As you are aware, the La Porte Area Emergency Corps has a cont>?'act with the City of Morgan's Point, with said contract expiring on the 30th day of September, 1984. If the City of Morgan's Point is still desirous of obtaining ambulance service from the newly constituted Department of Emergency Medical Services within the City of La Porte, the City of La Porte would then like to propose that negotiations take place between the two cities to establish the terms of said ambulance service provision to the the City of Morgan's Point. Since the City of La Porte and the La Porte Area Emergency Corps are in a transition period, the City of La Porte is not able to make firm predictions as to what the new City of Morgan's point ambulance cost would be, either on a monthly, or an annual basis. The City of La Porte does pledge, however, to do everything possible to make the cost of such service as reasonable and inexpensive as possible. Since it will take the City of La Porte some time to come up with firm estimates, the City of La Porte would like to propose to Morgan's Point that an interim contract be entered into between the two cities, that the City of La Porte continue to provide ambulance service to the City of ~torgan's Point at the current contract rate on a month to month basis. • .. • • City of t~torgan's Point ~ 9/27/84 Page 2 This interim contract would also provide that either .party might cancel the contract upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party, with said cancellation to be without cause. The City of La Porte would also probably be willing to accept a sixty (60) day or even a ninety (90) day cancellation provision, if the City of •; Morgan's Point deemed that to be desirable. The short run goal of the City of La Porte is to continue to provide Morgan's Point with ambulance service at the current rate, as well as allow the City of Morgan's Point to seek out other ambulance service alternatives if the City of Morgan's Point deems that desirable. Also, if the contract is cancelled by either party, the City of La Porte should like to provide adequate time for the City of Morgan's Point to make alternative ambulance service arrangements. If you are desirous of entering either into the interim contract, or a new long term arrangement, please contact me at City Hall in La Porte, phone number 471-5020, so that we might discuss this matter. As always, I appreciate your consideration of this matter, and I remain, Very truly yours, • BH: Bob Herrera Director of Administrative Services, City of La Porte • t RESOLUTION N0. 84- 22 • A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA PORTS, TEXAS, APPROVING THE ENTRY INTO A CONTRACT WITH THE CITY OF MORGAN'S POINT FOR THE PROVISION OF AMBULANCE SERVICE BY THE CITY OF LA PORTS TO THE CITY OF MORGAN'S POINT UPON TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN A CERTAIN CONTRACT; APPROVING THE ADOPTION OF SAID CONTRACT BY THE CITY OF LA PORTS PURSUANT TO AUTHORITY GRANTED BY THE INTERLOCAL COOPERATION ACT; FINDING COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPEN MEETINGS LAW; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.

Ray - Purchasing Agent /, ,'' SUBJECT: Sealed Bid ~~0057 - Ten (10 ~~Sn A/C Unit for Evelyn Kennedy Civic Center Advertised sealed bids 40057 for the replacement of a ten (10) ton self-contained air conditioning unit were opened and read in City Council Chambers September 17, 1984 at 4 p.m. Sealed bids were mailed to five La Porte area air conditioning contractors with the following firms returning proposals; (1) Coastal Air Condi- tioning, (2) Barrett's Heating and Air Conditioning, (3) Green's Air Conditioning, and (4) Arvell Moore Air Conditioning. Bid proposals were solicited to replace a fifteen year old Lennox ten (10) ton unit that is uneconomical to repair. Low bidder will be responsible for the complete removal of the existing unit and turnkey installation of the new unit. Low bid was submitted by Coastal Air Conditioning of La Porte in the amount of • four-thousand eighty-two dollars (4,082.00) and a completion time of ten days after receipt of purchase order. Coastal Air Conditioning proposed the installa- tion of a Trane ten (10) ton unit that meets and/or exceeds all specifications. Also offered is a 2X cash on acceptance of delivery discount which would result in a net cost of four-thousand dollars and thirty-six cents (4,000.36). I recommend that the City of La Porte award the purchase and installation of a ten (10) ton air conditioning unit at the~Evelyn Kennedy Civic Center to the low bidder Coastal Air Conditioning. I trust you will concur with this recommendation. cc: B.
