Mayor Cline declared the public hearings open. A. The first public hearing was to hear the request of Don Welch to rezone Reserve Tract K in Brookglen, Section III, from R-1 to Commercial to allow retail-commercial development. Mr. John Welch reviewed the request for Council and stated • that all they are asking for at this time is a rezoning of the eastern .67 acres of the tract. The property is located at the northwest corner of Brookwood and Fairmont Parkway. A convenience store is planned to be built on this site. Councilperson Westergren asked if the ordinance reflected the legal description as Mr. Welch is now requesting. City Attorney Askins replied that it was shown on page C-5 of the public hearing backup material and would be included as "Exhibit F" in the ordinance. Councilperson Matuszak inquired about planned landscaping at the convenience store. Mr. Welch said he did not recall what the site plan called for. Mayor Cline asked if there was anyone who wished to speak in favor of this request. No one came forward. Mayor Cline asked if there was anyone who caished to speak in opposition to this rezoning. There was no response. The hfayor declared the public hearing closed and asked the City Secretary to read the recommendation of Planning & Zoning. The City Secretary did so; their recommendation was to approve the rezoning of the unrestricted reserve K east of the pipeline from temporary R-1 to commercial, and that the • rezoning of the the western portion be denied.

Bertram Building Inspector Mark Lewis reviewed the list for Council and reported that the owner of the two mobile homes on "H" St. has begun demolishing and cleaning up the property and asked that these be deleted from the list. Mr. Lewis asked that the house located at 606 N. Fourth Street be deleted from the list, as it is now occupied and the Inspection Dept. has no wish to force someone from .their home in order to fulfill the ordinance. The house at 321 N. First St. has been about 20 percent demolished, but since no permit was granted and no time schedule given, he asked that that house be left on the list. I • • Minutes, Public Hearings La Porte City Council February U, 1985, Page u • and Regular Meeting The Mayor asked if Council had any questions. Councilperson Gay asked questions regarding the house at 517 S. Fourth. It had been brought to his attention that this house was involved in a law suit and that Mr: Martin had previously started repair work on the house. He has examined the building and the work done so far has been done with good lumber. He feels that if Mr. Martin were given sufficient time, he could finish the repairs, and asked that Mr. Martin be granted g0 days to show that improvement more than has been done can be accomplished. Councilperson Skelton remarked that if the house has been under litigation,.this would be a reason why the house had not been completed, and perhaps a little more time should be given. • Councilperson Matuszak asked if the house is that dangerous, at which time Chief Building Official Paulissen asked if Mr. Lewis could step forward to give an update. The Mayor at this pointed out that there is an item on the agenda for persons wishing to speak to show cause why the building should or should not be declared a nuisance, condemned and ordered repaired or torn down. She noted that Mr. Martin was in attendance, and asked Mr. Lewis to bring Council up to date on this particular building. Building Inspector Lewis noted that the original building permit had been issued in 1982, and that since that time no substantial repairs had been made to the building. At the time the original permit was issued the Building Committee felt the building was dangerous but that it could be repaired. However, in its present condition, it does constitute a dangerous building under the terms of the ordinance. The Inspection Department will be happy to work with Mr. h1artin if Council sees fit to grant him more time. Under the ordinance, Mr. Martin would have 120 days to complete the repairs to the building and bring it up to code. Mr. Charles Martin spoke in his own behalf, explaining to Council that the house was involved in litigation and that he • • • Public Hearing and Regular Meeting La Porte City Council February 4, 1985, Page 5 • had stopped repairs on it until the case was settled. He was willing, however, to go ahead and work on the house and improve it where the inspectors would be satisfied that it is not a dangerous building. Councilperson Westergren asked the legal consequences of going ahead with declaring the house a dangerous building with it being in litigation. The City Attorney replied that the City has superior rights to any owner's rights, but that all parties involved in the litigation would have to be notified. Councilperson Skelton asked if this house was used for residential services only. Mr. Martin replied that he has not used it as a residence, but it has been used for storage. If he is permitted to repair the house, it will be used as a residence. • The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak in regards to any of the other properties on the list of dangerous buildings, either pro or con. No one responded. The Mayor declared the public hearing closed. 6. Council considered an ordinance rezoning Reserve Tract "K", Brookglen, Section III, from R-1 to Commercial. The City Attorney read: ORDINANCE 780-HHHH - AN ORDINANCE AMENDIiJG ORDINANCE N0. 780, THE CITY OF LA PORTS ZONING ORDINANCE, BY CHANGING THE CLASSIFICATION OF THAT CERTAIN PARCEL OF LAND HEREIN DESCRIBED; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.

Eslule .~Ipprni.cc~rs d'• Cwrsuilcrnls December 6, 1984 City of LaPorte 604 West Fairmont Parkway Laporte, Texas 77571 • Re: Re-zoning of Reserve "K" Brookglen, Section 3. To whom it may concern; I have been retained by the current owners of the above ref- erenced property to consider the highest and best use of the site. The tract contains a total of approximately 2.5503 acres with approximately 550 feet of frontage on Fairmont Parkway, 185 feet on Somerton Drive, and 185 feet on Brookwood Drive (re- fer to Exhibit "A"). It has an average depth of approximately 195 feet. A 50 feet wide pipeline easement traverses the eastern most portion of the site and contains approximately 10,400 square feet of land area. The entire tract is vacant at this time. Utility of the site is greatly affected by the pipeline ease- ment. No permanent structures may be constructed within this area. Therefore, it is most likely that the property will be developed in at least two sections. • Current zoning of the property calls for single family resi- dential development. In the opinion of this appraiser, this type of development is unlikely. Considering overall size and shape, and frontage to depth ratio of the property, all of the homes would most likely face Fairmont Parkway, which is a major thoroughfare. Homes with this location would be diffi- cult, if not impossible to market. The eastern most .6713 acre (refer to Exhibit "B") of the site is currently under contract to Mr. Charles G. Ballard. The contract is .contingent upon re-zoning the property from residential to commercial. Mr. Ballard proposes to build. a • convenience store facility on the site. It is the opinion of this appraiser that the proposed improvement will well serve the surrounding neighborhood and will be consistent with the estimated highest and best use of the site. ~~ -kTO(i Cuni~r titrr~l • Ihrr I'nrk. I~r~;n i7~ ~(, s I'liunc:l71?)-17'J-?till) • \J !""" ---~ • City of LaPorte Page 2 • That portion of the subject which lies to the west of the pipeline easement contains a total of approximately 1.7 net acres. In my opinion, the two most probable best uses of this site are multifamily residential and commercial. Considering the exact location of the site, fronting Fairmont Parkway which is high speed divided boulevard, the most probable type of multifamily development is a two story walk-up garden type apartment or condominum project. This type of project typic- ally has a density of 28 to 32 units per acre. Considering the developable portion of the subject is approximatley 1.7 acres, a project would contain approximatley 48 to 54 total units. In todays market, most developers consider projects of this type to be extremely marginal if developed with less than 100 units. Therefore, this type of development is not considered to be likely for the subject. Commercial development of the western portion of the subject '~ would most be in one of three forms. The tract could physi- cally support two to three single tenant commercial or office facilities, a small strip center facility, or a combination of a small center and a single tenant facility. In my opin- ion, the strip center type development is most likely. This type of facility would receive the majority of it's business from the immediate neighborhood, with additional traffic from exposer to Fairmont Parkway. It is therefore the opinion of the appraiser that the estimated highest and best use of the • subject, assuming re-zoning, is for commercial development. Also considered by the appraiser was the City of LaPorte Com- prehensive Plan dated April 27, 1984. It is my opinion that the subject could be successfully developed if zoned either neighborhood commercial or general commercial under this plan. I appreciate this opportunity to express my views and opin- ions. Please call if I may be of further assistance to you in this matter. • Sincerely, John D.

TEXAS 77571-1218 January 28, 1985 u • and City Council La Porte, Texas 77571 The Honorable Mayor City of La Porte City Hall Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: TELEPHONE 713 471-1886 I enclose herewith revised draft of Council Organization and Procedures Ordinance, incorporating the changes discussed by City Council at its meeting of January 21, 1985. A question came up at the meeting about the necessary time for Notices of Regular Meetings. A statement was made that the day of the meeting could not be counted. I have reviewed the Statute, and the original version of the Statute did provide that the Notice had to be posted three (3) days before the meeting. This was subsequently amended to read "Notice of a Meeting must be posted for at least seventy-two (72) hours preceding the d_~' of the meeting." Thereafter, the Statute was further amended to its present version, which reads "seventy-two (72) hours preceding the scheduled time of the meeting." Thus, a posting seventy-two (72) hours before the starting time of a meeting is now legally sufficient, and the day of the meeting does not need to be counted, as the posting is now reckoned in hours, and not by days. In adding the provision to the Ordinance, Section 1-224, Executive Sessions, I have essentially tracked the language of the Texas Open Meetings Act, Section 2(a) and Section 2(1), for this procedure. I am of the opinion that while it is preferable to post a descriptive agenda item as to the matter to be discussed in Executive Session, when the meeting is posted, that such is not required by law, and I recommend that Executive Sessions continue to be posted in the manner in which they have been posted in the past, with descriptive executive session agenda items posted when time permits. • Although it is not included in the Ordinance, it is my understanding from the discussion at the January 21 Council meeting, that, in the future the City Secretary will keep a more abbreviated set of minutes of each meeting, to comply with legal requirements, but without noting all of the discussion at the melting, unless requested to do so by a Councilperson. Further, roll call votes will not be routinely con- ducted, except on Ordinances, or when requested by Council. The Pro- cedures Ordinance does provide in Section 1-214 that a Council member must speak up if he is abstaining from voting, otherwise, his silence ~l • • r- r • Honorable Mayor and City Council La Porte, Texas Page 2 01/28/85 shall be recorded at an affirmative vote. Thus, the City Secretary in preparing the Minutes, may note that a particular Resolution or Motion was unanimously pasted by Council, or, note that the Resolution was passed by Council, with "Councilperson Jones voting no." Roll call votes would be tallied completely, as at present. This Ordinance should have the effect of streamlining Council meetings, and, possibly, cutting down the required number of meetings. I am asking Mrs. Black to place this Ordinance in your boxes early, before the agenda goes out for the February 4th meeting, so that you may have an opportunity to give me any feed back or corrections prior to the meeting.

He rera DATE: January 9, 1985 SUBJECT: La Porte Area Emergency Corporation - A City Division On October 1, 1984 the La Porte Area Emergency Corporation officially became part of the City of La Porte. This new servicing division was placed under the Department of Administrative Services. This decision to make the non-profit organization a City Division, came about because of a municipal liability exposure the City was facing. Basically, the City would lose its top limits of liability protection under the Texas Torts Claim Act. Other factors also considered in the decision, were the yearly subsidy increases requested by the Area Emergency Corp. and the direction in which the non-profit organization was headed. Briefly the La Porte Area Emergency Corporation was first subsidized by the City in budget year 1882-83. The amount of subsidy was $160,000. In budget year 1983-84 the City's subsidy increased to X220.000., and for the budget year 1984-85 the Ambulance Corporation requested a subsidy of ~206~168. At the end of December 1984 and the writing of this memo, the • Ambulance Company has operated three months as a City Division. It operated in this time frame without an, approved or adopted budget. Reason being, City Staff was directed to study the expenditure needs of the Ambulance Service and to come back with a recommended budget. Presented for your analysis is a balanced budget for the EMS Division. This budget requires a $30,000.00 increase in subsidy from general fund, as opposed to the $86,000 requested by the previous board. There are two major items of concern accounting for the differences: (1) The previous board included an annual expense for debt • retirement to the City. This amount, like in any other City Division, is not included in the budget. (2) This proposed budget increases the number of personnel from a total of eight (8) full-time employees to twelve (12) full-time employees, and reduces the number of hours wor4<ed by each employee from 114 hours per week to ~6 hours per week.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM JANUARY 23, 1985 T0: B. Herrera - Director of Administrative Services FROM: J. Ray - Purchasing Agent SUBJECT: Cooperative Tire Purchasing The annual cooperative fire contract supplied by the State Commission is in need of renewal. Current fire needs are purchased from an annual contract held by the State of Texas with Firestone, Inc. which has expired. Firestone, Inc. is presently honoring the pricing under this contract until the City of La Porte files an amended Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the State of Texas. The State of Texas' new vendor is Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. A price comparision sheet is attached for your information. Prices en comparable tires will average 2% to 4% less than current prices being paid Firestone, Inc. Service will be handled through Goodyear's Houston-based truck fire distribution center due to the lack of a stocking Goodyear dealer in the La Porte area. Goodyear Inc. intends to open a stocking distributorship within the city limits of La Porte by the Fall of 1985. I hereby recommend that the City of La Porte continue utilizing this method of cooperative fire procurement which enables the City to save 50% off of the retail price of tires. Should Council wish to continue this program, the attached Interlocal Agreement will need to be completed. I trust this recommendation will meet with your approval. JR/mb cc: L. Maxey D.
