Malone, Mayor ATTEST: City Secretary APPROVED: City Attorney e e ~~ CITY OF LA PORTE INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO:.----- FROM: -Mayor Norman Malone and City Council Robert T. Herrera City Manager DATE: SUBJECT: April 23, 1987 Revisions to Street & Alley Closing Ordinance and Pending Requests for Street & Alley Closings The draft ordinance incorporating the changes to the Street & Alley Closing Ordinance requested by Council is complete. The RFP for appraisal services is being prepared and should be ready for advertising during the first week in May. Consideration of this ordinance is tentatively scheduled for the Hay 11 Council meeting. Since the Ordinance is designed to be effective the date of passage, I recommend that Council authorize staff to select Hugh Landrum to perform any necessary appraisals resulting from the passage of this Ordinance. This relationship should continue until the RFP' s are returned, evaluated and a recommendation can be given to Council. Hugh Landrum is familiar in La Porte and Currently performs the appraisal for the City's Independent District Contracts. Also, Council needs to be aware that there are several pending street and alley closings that need to be resolved. It is both Knox Askins and my opi-nion that applican'ts have the right to claim rights and benefits provided by the current Ordinance. Attach~d is a list of pending street and Alley cl9sings and their status. .JJ/tla Attachment . e ~- INTERNAL GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF REQUEST TO CLOSE, VACATE AND ABANDON STREETS OR ALLEYS WITHIN THE CITY OF LA PORTE The following guidelines are offered as considerations for reviewing requests to close, vacate and abandon a City right of way by City staff or City council. These guidelines are based on records of previous requests and do not depict every situation that may occur. Careful consideration of each individual case is recommended. CONSIDERATIONS FOR APPROVAL: 1) To facilitate development of land larger than one half (1/2) of standard City block (125' X 400'). 2) To open larger tracts of land to development, where one owner, has ownership on both sides of the requested closure. 3) To exchange lands with developers and or land owners in order to provide additional or relocated rights of way and or utility corridors for City use. 4) To convert rights of way to park land, open space or other public uses planned by the City. 5) To reduce the amount of City maintained corridors which require funding from the public and do not benefit the City. 6) To facilitate phasing out of the grid type road system in the older areas of the City in order to reach a more efficient street network. 7) To support the Capital Improvements projects of other governmental agencies and franchised utilities. CONSIDERATIONS FOR DENIAL: 1) Where existing or proposed utilities, whether franchised are located, including (water, sewer, natural gas or storm sewer etc.) and where an maintenance easement cannot be provided or the relocated at no expense to the City. public or telephone, acceptable utilities 2) Where residential landowners (single family type) request a partial closure solely for land acquisition. (i.e. additional yard). . . ~- Page 2 of 2 Basic Guidelines 3) Where partial street and alley closings result in administrative or operation and maintenance problems for the City of La Porte. 4) Where existing or proposed access to property may be affected (i~e. emergency vehicles, adjacent owners.) 5) Where landlock of adjacent property may occur. 6) Where the City has future plans for utilization of the right bf way as outlined in the City Comprehensive Plan. 7) Where. the provisions of the City's street and alley closing regulations are not met. . e ORDINANCE NO. 1550 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 21, "STREETS AND SIDEWALKS", ARTICLE III, "VACATING AND ABANDONING STREETS AND ALLEYS", OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE; FINDING COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPEN MEETINGS LAW: AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.

It should be noted that the estimated revenue for this division presented at the May 4, 1987 Council workshop was shown to be $289,438, which would produce a $20,265 surplus. Because past revenues were substantially higher than the projected revenue for FY 86-,8-7, ~ the projected-revenue was reexamined, and it now. appears that there will be a FY 86-87 commercia~'revenue of $314,832. This revised revenue projection will produce a $45,659 surplus. The proposed budget amendment will be self supporting, and I recommend its passage.

Herrera, City Manager FROM: Doug de la Morena, Human Resources Manager SUBJECT: Insurance Shortfalls We are requesting that" $275,000 be transferred to the general liability and worker's compensation insurance accounts in order to allow the City to pay its rema ining annual premiums and po ssi ble deductibles. Our analysis indicates that $145,661 was underbudgeted in October 1986 for general. liability and worker's cOl1}p~ns~tion insurance. Add i tionally, we':-:-le:.a--r~ned only dcrys, -:-ago that 6Ur-:-aritfual gene ral 1 iabil i ty premi ums have :-:-been inc reased appro xima tely 30~ -to $509,138, retroacti ve to October 1986. Our worker's compensation insurance has also risen some 6%, retroactive to October 1986.' The requested $275,000 will bring our insurance accounts to solvency for the remainder of the fiscal year. The attached table (Exhibit A) demonstrates our insurance shortfalls for FY 8(;i-87. \ole will receive a TML bill- for the month of -May in --the- --amount - of $111,.375.62. This is the annual-premium rerate adjustment. Of this figure, $42,429 is the monthly premium installment leaving approximately $69,000 as this year I s adjustment. This figure is included in the total adjustment request of $273,425. While these figures may be alarming, our efforts have already resulted in $36,580 of premium savings which would have driven the requested figure that much higher.. The annual premium rerates and state board of insurance increases in January' 1987 are significant factors in this year's adjustment. ~ EXHIBIT A .; 'c ,:INSURANCE PREMIUM ANALYSIS CITY OF LA PORTE FISCAL YEAR 86-87 '. i. - Total , , Adjust.
