CITY OF LA PORTE
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
T0: Mayor Norman Malone & DATE: July 1, 1987
Members of City Council
FROM: Robert T. Herrera, City Mana er
~~-~
SUBJECT: Fiscal Opportunities Facing
The City of La Porte
During the July 6, 1987, Workshop, staff's presentation to Council
will center on fiscal opportunities the City must address.
The session will prove very informative and enlighting. This
meeting will test our abilities to recognize the importance of
following and implementing financial guidelines generally accepted
by public sector accounting authorities.
This year's theme of "doing more with less" is truly symbolic of
what is happening throughout the economically depressed State of
Texas, and should not be perceived by La Portians as a singling
out effect. To the contrary, La Porte's position is unique in
that we are in better control of our future than most other Texas
cities.
We have the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee which guided the
development of the City of La Porte's comprehensive plan.
We have the Citizens Advisory Committee that identified and
recommended a five (5) year Capital Improvement Program which
resulted in the approval of $24.9 million dollars in capital
improvements by the voters of La Porte.
A progressive Planning & Zoning Commission that took the hard work
of the steering committee and adopted the elements that comprise
the Comprehensive Plan.

We have developed with the Planning & Zoning Commission:
o Development Ordinance (to replace an old Subdivision
Ordinance)
o Zoning Ordinance
o New Zoning Map
We are developing strategies and pursuing other long-range
planning issues including:
o La Porte Area Water Authority
o Solidwaste Landfill
o La Porte Municipal Airport
Fiscal Opportunities Facing
The City of La Porte
Page 3 of 4
We are developing Economic Development Strategies such as:
o Protect and Maintain Existing Companies;
o Promote La Porte;
o Renovation of Sylvan Beach Pavilion
o Completion of Municipal Golf Course
o Market the City; and
o Adoption. of the Southeast Economic Development Target
Plan.
Other assets the City has include:
o An Airport Master Plan.
o A positive and progressive City Council with adopted
written goals and objectives.
o A management philosophy that La Porte, Texas is a
municipal corporation.
The pursuit of these objectives often involves the issuance of
debt which enables a City to undertake capital-intensive
projects. Bonds provide capital at low interest rates, and allows
local governments to extend repayment costs over the life of the
benefits generated from the projects. The ability of a city to
finance. projects with bonds is limited, and mistakes can be
devastating to a community's financial health. Overlooking a
legal requirement can nullify a bond; incorrectly or improperly
marketing a bond issue can result in limited investors, and a
poorly designed debt instrument can strap a community with high
interest rates for a long period of time.
This must be accomplished at the same time the City meets its
maintenance and operation needs. Therefore, staff has dedicated
itself to giving 100 of itself to developing a realistic,
workable budget with a responsible tax rate. A responsible tax
rate is one which meets the maintenance and operational needs of
the City while satisfying a tax levy needed to the retirement of
debt.

As you prepare for the July 6th Workshop, please keep in mind that
if we dwell to much on the past we might lose ground with our
future.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WORKSHOP
1. Proposed audit committee made up of City Council members
will be requested by staff. Audit will be passed out.
2. A new Financial Administration philosophy.
3. A tax rate that reflects staff's committment to meet
Council's goal to develop an ad valorem property tax
that reflects an attitude of growth consciousness while
maintaining a level of service acceptable to the
resident's and property owners of La Porte.
Together, I am confident that we can establish a financial
position that demonstrates La Porte's potential to be recognized
as the City of the 90's for Harris County, Chambers County, and
Galveston County.
