11. Council Action
Bridges: Inquired of Council if there were some way to
combine workshop and regular meetings, since most discussion
• is held at workshops on the same items that will appear on the
agendas for the regular meetings. She feels it would be
economically feasible in view of the utilities, etc., used to
open the building for a meeting that could be taken care of
after a workshop meeting.
Mayor Cline suggested that perhaps it could be left to the
discretion~of the City Manager and the City Secretary if it
were possible to combine the meetings, dependent upon what
agenda items were to be discussed and/or acted upon.
General discussion was held and it was decided that staff be
instructed to come up with a viable plan for Council meetings.
The possibility of having a workshop one Monday a month was
discussed. The City Attorney suggested that he, the City
Manager and the Director of Administrative Services meet and
discuss drafting an ordinance to cover meetings, agendas,
methods, etc.
Councilperson Bridges also suggested that speakers addressing
Council be limited to 5 minutes unless it is a person
representing a group, in which case limit them to 10 minutes.
There was general agreement to this suggestion.

Matuszak: Reported that the Homes Association in Fairmont
Park would meet on the coming Monday night, and he felt that
they would turn the care of the esplanades in Fairmont Park
over to the City, due to financial reasons.
Cline: Remarked that we had come close to not having a quorum
for the meeting tonight, and stated she would probably not be
at the December 5 meeting because she would not be in town.
Several Councilmembers stated that they probably would not be
able to attend, either. After a canvass of the Council
present, it was decided that it would be best to cancel the
meeting of December 5 if possible. Mr. Herrera stated that he
and the City Secretary would look over the agenda items, and
if there was nothing that could not wait, the meeting would be
cancelled and the Council would be notified.
Mayor Cline stated that the City Attorney had asked for an
Executive Session on a legal matter.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
OCTOBER 26, 1984
•
T0: Lt. La Fitte - B. Herrera
FROM: J. Ray
SUBJECT: HGAC C oper a Vehicle Procurement
Please find attached bid tabulation and recommendation from HGAC staff
regarding police patrol sedans for the 1984-85 fiscal year. Base price
for these units increased from just under $9,300 last year on 1984 Chev-
rolet Impalas to $9,903.72 for 1985 Plymouth Gran Furys'. This repre-
sents a 6X increase in price over units purchased last year, which is in
line with the Big Three automobile manufacturers announced price increases
for 1985 models (6X to 9X on selected models).
I recommend the City of La Porte take advantage of this cooperative pro-
curement effort by the HGAC and that orders be placed with HGAC staff by
the November 30, 1984 deadline to insure receipt of units by Feb. 16, 1984.
I trust you will concur with this recommendation.

ment of the members of the Board of Directors of the Harris County Appraisal District,
an election is being conducted by the County Clerk to fill the vacancy created by the
resignation of Mr. Fred Hartman, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
It is the right and the responsibility of the governing bodies of all cities and towns,
other than the City of Houston, participating in the District to select a person to
fill the unexpired portion of the term to which Mr. Hartman was elected.
Prior to November 1, 1984, nominations to fill said vacancy were received in the
office of the County Clerk. The names of those nominees are:
MARTA GREYTOK
GARY JONES
SAMUEL D. SIMS
The governing body of each such city and town shall be entitled to one vote for the
candidate of its choice whose name appears above. The vote shall be expressed by
resolution of each such governing body. The resolution or a certified copy thereof
shall then be delivered by the presiding officer of such governiny body to the
County Clerk on or before November 30, 1984. (Resolution is enclosed).
