EMPLOYEE_OF THE QUARTER - CURTIS HERROD
Curtis Herrod is the Leadman of the Water/Wastewater Tap
Crew. He exerts the leadership required of a Leadman in a
professional manner, to the extent that his crew requires
little foreman supervision.
Curtis works with individual customers and companies to
ensure that the tap installation meets the customer's needs
and yet is cost effective to the City. Numerous verbal customer
compliments on work done by Curtis and his crew have been
received.
Curtis has been efficient in planning and installing the
taps, resulting in a great cost savings to the City. But, more
importantly, the customer good will generated is of incalculable
worth to the City.
We are proud to have Curtis Herrod as an employee, and
extend congratulations to him as Employee of the Quarter.

CITY OF LA PORTE
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
T0: OWEN, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ~. JOERNS, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: RUARY 27, 1985
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDED LIMITS FOR RE-NAMING OF WEST "F"
TO MAGNA AND WEST "G" TO FLOW
West "F" from 16th to the West right-of-way line of 17th is open
but unimproved for thru traffic. It is surfaced and used for
parking for the business operating in Block 824. Because the
right-of-way is not used for thru traffic, I see no need to
force a name change for the one block west of 16th. In fact it
might be desirable for the City to contact the owners of Blocks
833 and 824 and suggest a joint application for a street closing
since the right-of-way is used for support of the business(es).
Therefore, the recommended limits for the changing of West "F"
to Magna Street are from the east right-of-way line of 16th to
the west right-of-way line of South 12th (approximate location
of Little Cedar Bayou).
West "G" from 16th west has been closed by Ordinance ~~1017.
Therefore, the recommended limits for the changing of West "G"
to Flow Street are from the east right-of-way line of 16th to
the west right-of-way line of South 11th (approximate location
of Little Cedar Bayou).
Council may wish to consider the street names to be placed on
the signposts in the following manner.
Magna Street ("F" Street)
Flow Street ("G" Street)
This has been used effectively in other communities (i.e.
Galveston) and it gives the community and the infrequent
traveler the ability to recognize the new street name and not
lose sequence on the existing alphabet street pattern.
