5. The Mayor called to order the public hearing of the request
of the Fraternal Order of Eagles for a special conditional
use permit to allow a parking lot.
Joel Albrecht, Director of Community Development, reviewed
the request and presented the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission. The Commission's
recommendation was that the special conditional use permit
be granted, subject to seven (7) specific conditions.
Those conditions are: (1) the parking surface, including
the existing parking, must be surfaced to control dust;
(2) the parking surface must be set back 25 feet from the
front property line and ten feet from the exterior side
property line; (3) the 7th Street and G Street face of the
lot must be screened from public view and the screening
plan must be approved by the Director of Community
Development; (4) any surfacing of the alley of Block 149
must be approved in advance by the Director of Public
Works; (5) no parking lot entrances are to be allowed onto
7th Street; (6) the alley will not be used for primary
access to the parking lot; (7) a hold harmless release by
the Eagles to the City, acceptable to the City of La Porte
Attorney's office.
The Mayor called for public input. Mr. Dick McDuff,
representing the Eagles, addressed Council with the
assurance that the Eagles would uphold all conditions set
forth in their permit.
There was no further public input, and the Mayor declared
the public hearing closed.
6. Mrs. Judy Nieuwenhuis, representing the Main Street
Association, addressed Council regarding the relocation of
Jordan Industries to the former Follis Construction
building. She implored Council to find a way to prevent
this relocation, due to its proximity to residential areas
and the potential danger to the residents in that area.
Also, she feels the relocation will be detrimental to all
the efforts to revitalize the Main Street area. There have
been many incidents involving the workers from Jordan
Industries, and she feels that it is very undesirable to
have them located within the City.

Councilperson Porter felt that the basic ideas were there,
and that Mayor Cisneros' visit pointed us in the right
direction. He commended staff for bringing in Mayor
Cisneros and putting the thing in motion. We need to
develop an agenda immediately and proceed before the flames
flicker out on us.
Councilperson Shipp feels we do have some momentum now; we
have people out there who are very interested in making it
happen. He feels it is imperative that we have a plan and
do it according to the plan and not in some helter-skelter
manner. The City should take the initiative.
Councilperson Gay was very pleased that we were able to get
Mayor Cisneros to this area. He felt there were very many
good ideas presented, and he was glad to have been a part
of it.
Councilperson Skelton had occasion to meet with Mayor
Cisneros recently in Washington, and Mayor Cisneros was
very interested in the reaction of citizens here in La
Porte to his comments, and whether there was a chance of
carrying out his ideas. Councilperson Skelton assured
Mayor Cisneros that the City and its citizens were very
enthusiastic and were already working toward getting
various businesses to come into the City. Councilperson
also noted that Mayor Cisneros is very impressed with our
City Manager, and feels that he will be a great City
Manager of the future.
Councilperson Clarke agreed with Mayor Cisneros that Bob
Herrera is a great City Manager, but he hopes Bob won't go
to San Antonio to work for Mayor Cisneros. He feels that
mutual involvement by city government and private
enterprise will be the only way to accomplish our goals.
Mayor Malone stated that we need a committee of citizens
and Council to work together to accomplish our goals. We
need a dynamic leader, one who will get the job done, to
head this committee, and we need to start looking for
someone right away. The Chamber also needs to be
represented on this committee, but the City needs to pick
the person who leads the group.

and Regular Meeting
City Manager Bob Herrera presented a written report to
Council containing his ideas on a visionary plan for La
Porte. He emphasized that the ideas presented are his
personal ones, and Council should feel free to change
anything they feel is not compatible with what they would
like to accomplish.
Mr. Herrera then reviewed the program with Council. He was
very gratified that Council's comments had reinforced what
his feelings are regarding La Porte's future and the
methods to accomplish those goals.
Councilperson Matuszak addressed the question of what
person could be chosen as the leader to put all of these
plans into action. It is a very important role, and the
right person must be chosen soon before the momentum is
lost.
Councilperson Lloyd suggested that the Mayor appoint an ad
hoc committee of Council to get the City started and that
they come back to Council at a meeting in April to make a
preliminary assessment of the report given by the City
Manager. It was decided that April 11 would be the date
for the preliminary report.

members consisting of Councilpersons Lloyd, Matuszak,
Porter, Shipp, Gay and Skelton.

1) Staff background report and exhibits
2) Transmittal memo from Planning & Zoning Commission to Mayor
and Council
3) Special Conditional Use Permit
4) Transparencies
The Bayshore Aerie #2753 of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles
are requesting a Special Conditional Use Permit to allow the
construction of additional parking facilities.
The lots on which the Eagles are proposing to locate this
parking area are separate from their main facility by an alley.
This alley is also a zoning line. As a result of these factors,
a Special Conditional Use Permit must be issued before any permits
may be issued for the construction of this parking lot.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this permit
request during their March 18, 1988 Public Hearing and Regular
Meeting. The Commission recommends granting this request subject
to the conditions listed on the attached Special Conditional Use
Permit.
Staff concurs with this recommendation.
Action Required by Council:
1) Hold public hearing to receive public input regarding this
Special Conditional Use request.
2) After public hearing, consider approval of this Special
Conditional Use Permit

Background.:
Special Conditional Use Permit
Lots 25-32, Block 149; La Porte
Bayshore Aerie #2753 of the Fraternal
Order of the Eagles
803 South 8th Street
R-1; Low Density Residential
The Bayshore Aerie #2753 of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles is
requesting a Special Conditional Use Permit to allow development of a
58 space parking lot to be located on Lots 25-32 of Block 149; La
Porte. (exhibit A). The purpose of this parking lot is to provide
accessory off site parking for their 8th Street meeting hall. This
permit is being requested under the guidelines of Section 10-200 of
Ordinance No. 1501.
A special conditional use permit may be granted by the City Council
for the construction of a building and/or the establishment of a use as
described in this or any other section, upon a tract of land in single
ownership or under unified control. (Section 10-201[1])
Analysis:
The parking lot, as proposed, is to be built using a single course
asphaltic sealer over a calcium sulfate base. This will satisfy,
subject to the approval of the Director of Community Development, the
requirements of Section 10-605171 for dust free parking surface. Lot
setbacks are to be 25 feet on the front (7th Street) face of the
property and 10 feet on the exterior ("G" Street) face. Setbacks will
be measured from property lines rather than from street surfaces.
These proposed setbacks meet the requirements of Section 10-607(5). As
is also indicated on Exhibit "A", a landscape screen has been proposed
for the 7th Street and "G" Street faces of the property. This
landscape plan, subject to final approval by the Director of Community
Development, will satisfy the requirements of Section 10-605 (11).
Finally, surfacing has been proposed for the alley separating the
parking lot from the existing meeting hall. Any type of alley
surfacing will require the written approval of the Director of Public
Works.

the Eagles
Use Permit
Steve Gillett, Director of Public Works, has approved of the same
type of surfacing for the alley. The City will not maintain the alley
and if the City needs to repair the utilities in the alley, the repair
of the surface will be at the Eagles expense.
The conditions listed above reflect requirement of City Ordinance.
A final suggested condition is a prohibition of parking lot egress on
the 7th Street face of the property. This recommendation is not based
on ordinance requirements but rather on the number of residences
located in this block of 7th Street. The Eagles are -not proposing a
7th Street entrance at this time.
Conclusion•
Subject to the required approvals of screening and surfacing plans,
this request meets all prerequisite conditions necessary for the
issuance of a special conditional use permit. In summary, these
conditions are again as follows:
1. Parking surface, including existing on site parking, must
be surfaced to control dust as per Section 10-605(7).
Surfacing must be approved by the Director of Community
Development.
2. Parking surface must be setback 25 feet from the front property
and 10 feet from the exterior side property line as per
Section 10-607(5).
3. The 7th Street and "G" Street face of the lot must be screened from
public view as per Section 10-6050 1). The screening plan must be
approved by the Director of Comm. Development.
4. Any surfacing of the alley of Block 149 must be approved in advance
by the Director of Public Works.
5. The final suggested condition is that no parking lot entrances be
allowed onto 7th Street.
6. The alley will not be used for primary access to the parking lot.
7. A Release to be prepared by the Fraternal Order of the Eagles
stating that the City of La Porte will not be held responsible
for any repairs to the paved surface of the alley should the City
need to repair any utilities located therein. The Fraternal Order
of the Eagles will also hold the City harmless of any injuries
occuring on said alley. This letter must be acceptable to the City
of La Porte Attorney's Office.

Gentlemen:
I.
This letter is the request of the United States Postal Service, that
the City of La Porte close certain streets and alleys, to facilitate
the construction of a new United States Postal Service Main Office
for La Porte, at the intersection of Fairmont Parkway and South 8th
Street in La Porte.
The United States Postal Service requests that that portion of the
alley in Block 1130, Town of La Porte, lying and being situated
between Lots 1 through 6, and Lots 27 through 38, both inclusive, be
closed and abandoned.
It is also requested that that portion of the right-of-way of "K"
Street, lying and being situated between Blocks 1102 and 1130, Town
of La Porte, Harris County, Texas, and between the East right-of-way
of South 8th Street, and the West right-of-way of South 7th Street,
being a tract of land 60' X 266', be closed and abandoned, subject
to the City of La Porte retaining a utility easement for its two (2)
sanitary sewer trunk mains.
It is our understanding that no fees are chargeable to the United
States Postal Service, a governmental agency, for these alley and
street closings. It is further our understanding that the City of
La Porte will open South 6th Street between Fairmont Parkway and "K"
Street, and "K" Street between South 6th Street and South 7th Street,

Dear Ms. Black:
In request #1, Entex does not have any gas mains in said

release and abandon our rights to the above described

INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 27, 1987
TO: Bob Speake-City Engineer
FROM: Paul R. Hickenbottom-Fire Marshal
SUBJECT: CLOSURE OF "K" STREET BETWEEN 7th and 8th STREETS
This memo is in regards to your memo to me dated March 26, 1987.
The La Porte Fire Code requires a fire hydrant to be with 600 feet
of a residence. With the closure of "K" Street between 7th and 8th
Streets, this would place the residence in Block 1129, beyond the
660 foot requirement. Therefore, I could not approve the closure
of "K" Street, unless, "K" Street was maintained in a serviceable
condition and a gate was placed at "K" and 8th Street. Or, a fire
hydrant was placed within the Fire Code distance requirement on 6th
Street between Fairmont Parkway and "K" Street.
In talking to Phillip Hoza, City Engineering Technician, the gate at
8th and "K" Street has already been proposed by Postal Officials.
If this is correct, this Officer would need a letter from the Postal
Officials stating that the gate would never be blocked, keys for the
Fire Department would be issued and the street would remain at all times
in a serviceable condition.

CITY OF LA PORTE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Checklist for Street & Alley/Easement Closing Requests:
(1) Existing public utilities in right of ways, alleys, or
easements
(a) City utilities (water and sanitary sewer):
The City maintains two (2) sanitary sewer trunk mains
(36" and 60") in the "K" Street right of way which would
require an access easement for city maintenance of
existing and future utilities in the area (Exhibit "B").
(b) Franchise utilities (power, telephone, natural gas,
cable TV, etc.)
Being handled by City Secretary, Cherie Black. Separate
letters will be furnished by each franchisee.
(2) Effect on adjacent property and property in surrounding
area. (Does the street closing request "landlock" or
seriously diminish access of adjacent land?)
Presently, an existing home in Block 1129, Lots 1-3 has
access from 8th Street via a shell and limestone driveway
constructed apparently by the homeowner in the "K" Street
right of way. Closure of this portion of "K" Street would
require the city to provide access to the north 150 feet of
Block 1129 from Fairmont Parkway via the 6th Street right of
way, which is unimproved at this time. To provide this
access, it would be necessary to construct an all-weather
road with roadside drainage and associated drainage
structures (Exhibit W .
(3) Effect on access by fire and other emergency vehicles.
Access to the existing home in Block 1129 by city emergency
vehicles would be adversely affected by this closure of "K"
Steet unless alternative emergency access is provided. RE:

(4) Review the closing request in regards to future needs
(whether immediate or long-term) for:
(a) Utilities (water or (sewer)
A proposed future long-term 30" gravity sanitary sewer
along the east side of 8th Street may require additional
right of way (Exhibit "C").
(b) Streets/Thoroughfares/Traffic Patterns
The city has no current or future plans for improving
the K Street right of way.
The closing of this portion of "K" Street would
eliminate the possibility of looping traffic around the
proposed Post Office site from 8th Street along "K"
Street to 6th Street, then along 6th Street to Fairmont
Parkway, which if done in the future would reduce
congestion at both the intersection of Fairmont Parkway
at 8th Street and Fairmont Parkway at the east entrance
to the site.
(c) Drainageways
This closure does not impact current or future
drainageways in the area. However, the area lies within
the 100 year flood plain.
(d) Other Comprehensive Plan Considerations:
Land Use Plan: None
Thoroughfare: None

(7) Comments/Recommendation(s):
Approve closure of this -portion of "K" Street conditional on
the following:
(a,) Negotiation of a satisfactory easement instrument
between the applicant, the City, and all franchise
utilities having facilities in this right of way. Said
easement should, at minimum, guarantee maintenance
access to the grantees and access by emergency vehicles,
permit no permanent structures within the easement
without design approval by grantees, and provide for
removal (for maintenance of grantee facilities within
the easement) of pavement and other permitted structures
installed within the easement by the grantor at no
expense to the grantees.
(b) Negotiation between the City and the applicant of a
satisfactory alternate means of providing access from a
public street for the house on Lots 1-3 of Block 1129.
Said access must be via an all-weather road with
roadside drainage.

Resolution
Ordinance
Recently, a representative of the student body at La Porte High
School made a presentation to Council requesting use of Sylvan
Beach Convention Center by the school at no charge to them. At
that time, Council was of the opinion that to allow the school to
do so would be opening the door to requests from other
organizations for free use of the Center. Council declined to
allow the school free use of the Center, as they felt that in
order for the Convention Center to be self-supporting, no free
usage or discounts could be given.
However, since the City uses various school facilities at
different times of the year (swimming pool, track, school
buildings for elections, etc.), I feel that some sort of
reciprocal agreement is in order to enable an exchange of
facilities.
My suggestion is that the school be allowed free use of Sylvan
Beach Convention Center on one (1) Wednesday, one (1) Friday, and
one (1) Saturday during each year. The school would have the
burden of limiting what school functions would be held, and only a
legitimate school function could be held (no Booster Club
functions, etc.).
Reciprocal charges for aa City uses of school facilities would be
the amount of total fees for the three (3) nights use of Sylvan
Beach Convention Center (i.e., $1,950). The school district and
the City would bill and credit internally. The in-house transfer
of funds by the City could be made from Parks and Recreation
Department to the Enterprise Fund for Sylvan Beach Convention
Center.
I would appreciate your support in this matter. If the School
District and the Council agree that this is a feasible idea, the
City Attorney can be directed to prepare an agreement for
signatures.
Action Required by Council: Approve authorizing the City Attorney
to prepare reciprocal agreement for use of Sylvan Beach Convention

City of La Porte
Dear Mayor Malone,
As a parent, citizen and principal of La Porte High School,
I am requesting that the city council consider drafting a contract
between the LPISD and the City of La Porte for the use of facilities.
My goal is that the city and the school district will continue
to work together to make La Porte the very best area for all our
citizens.
I believe that if the council were to draft a procedure,
workable for both the city council and the board of trustees,
the students of LPHS would have a very positive attitude toward
the City of La Porte. I believe that when we show support for
our young people we will benefit in the future. Our students
are concerned about the use of the facilities and the outcome
of your decision.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If I can
answer any questions or be of any help, please let me know.
Sincerely,
/tom

SUBJECT: Stormwater Drainage Project
HCFCD Interlocal Agreement
Bob Speake and I spoke with Gary Green at HCFCD and advised him
of the unexpected cost of engineering and construction for the
utility adjustments in preparation for channel improvements. We
advised that the funds which the City could commit to in the
Agreement would be $600,000 and that any funds remaining in the
amount being retained by the City would be turned over to HCFCD
for use on the project.
Mr. Green was agreeable to this and indicated HCFCD had already
passed our draft Agreement through the County Attorney.
On this basis, it is suggested that the City revise the
Interlocal Agreement funded amount to $600,000, obtain the City
Council's approval and forward the Agreement to HCFCD for
acceptance.

SUBJECT: LA PORTE AREA WATER AUTHORITY
REQUEST FOR OFFICE SPACE
DATE: March 23, 1988
The final design for the transmission and distribution system for the La
Porte Area Water Authority is currently underway. The Authority's
Engineer, Espey, Huston & Associates has requested the Authority to
indicate a location to house the master control system to ensure timely
completion of the project. The control system includes a small computer,
two (2) printers, backup power supply, telephone, and other accessory
equipment.
Attached is a letter from Espey, Huston & Associates outlining the area
needed, along with the equipment necessary to house the system.
Basically, the system requires a small, secure room, climate controlled,
with a separate telephone line and a dedicated electrical circuit.
Facilities meeting these requirements are available at the Public Works
Service Center. Any building modifications required, as well as telephone
installation and service charges, will be paid directly by the Authority.
Additionally, the Authority will. pay a pro-rata share of utilities and
maintenance required.
It is requested that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
negotiate a contract with the La Porte Area Water Authority to provide
office facilities at the La Porte Public Works Service Center to house the
proposed master control system.

RE: Requirements for Central Control Room
Dear Mr. Herrera:
EH&A Job No. 10790-14
The Authority's needs for a room to house the master control system are not
extensive and consist primarily of the following:
a) Approximately 100 to 150 square feet of floor space. This room will be
occupied by the computer, two printers, a backup power supply cabinet
containing Gel -Cell type batteries, and other accessory equipment.
b) Regular office environment type climate control with temperatures
maintained in the 60OF to 80OF range.
c) A regular business type telephone line not connected to the office rotary
system. The Authority can pay separately for this.
d) The equipment will require approximately a single 20 amp circuit off of
the building's electrical system. The Authority can pay for any
necessary modifications in its construction program.
e) We would propose that the minimal amount of computer furniture
required be supplied with the control system, and that any minor
w-chitectural modifications such as a new office door lock be done by the
Authority's Contractor.
We will be happy to confer with you on possible room selections.
Very truly yours,

Investigation Division cars. Total cost is $23,985.00. The
budgeted amount for this purchase is $24,000.00.
Another offer was made by National Rental Sales at $8400.00

response from Hertz.
These vehicles will replace the three police package sedans
now being driven by Detective personnel and allow those cars to be
absorbed by the Patrol Division.
The objective of this purchase is to continue the assigned
car program, by removing police package sedans assigned to the

LA PORTE POLICE DEPARTMENT
TO: Mr. Bob Herrera, City Manager
FROM: Charles E. Smith, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Criminal Investigation Vehicle Purchase
DATE: March 23, 1988
Sir:
In mid -year of 1984, the La Porte Police Department began
studying maintenance histories on police sedans assigned to the
Patrol Division. These cars had a very short life and were
consuming a large volume of maintenance money. A trickle -down
program was started, which consisted of assigning new cars to
the Detective Division for twelve (12) months and then
assigning them to Patrol. This allowed the car a slow break-in
and an opportunity to spot small problems before they became
big problems.
During early 1985, the department began assigning units to
the Patrol Sergeants. One person drove the car and was
responsible for its care. When I came to La Porte in August
1985, this program was in place. I reviewed the maintenance
records and observed a significant difference between the
assigned units and the multi -operator shared cars. I requested
permission to extend the use time of these older cars for
further study. The age of these vehicles varied from one 1980
model Chevrolet; two 1981 model Chevrolets; two 1982 model
Chevrolets. A 1986 yearly City audit showed how significant
the differences really were. The auditors wanted to know how
we cut $50,000.00 from the maintenance budget with a larger
number of cars.
The only answer was the assigned cars. One of those had a
total of $635.00 in yearly maintenance during 1986. A shared
car of 1984 vintage had a $3,180.00 maintenance bill. The car
with the smallest maintenance bill had 116,000 miles on its
odometer.
Our objective here is to continue an assigned car program.
Assignment of vehicles will be made to those officers who live
within the city limits. The City of La Porte will realize a
direct benefit of (1) maintenance cost reduction; (2) a life
expectancy of approximately four (4) or five (5) years. An
•

indirect benefit will be realized of (1) a crime prevention
tool; (2) a productivity reward tool.
The primary reason for purchasing used rental cars, was to
reduce the budget impact of the assigned car program. We will
be able to pick and choose from a selection of 1987 vehicles.
These include Pontiac Grand Am, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and
Chevrolet Citation with V6 or four (4) cylinder fuel injected
engines. This transaction will complete the new vehicle
purchases of this program. These vehicles will replace three
police package sedans now being driven by Detective personnel
and allow those cars to be absorbed by the Patrol Division.
It is my recommendation that we accept the offer made by
Avis Rental Sales of $7,995.00 per vehicle for three (3)
Criminal Investigation Division cars. Total cost would be
$23,985.00. Budgeted amount for this purchase is $24,000.00.
Another offer was made by National Rental Sales at
$8,400.00 per vehicle, with a total cost of $25,200.00. This
amount is $1,200.00 over budget, for comparable vehicles.
There was no response from Hertz.
The purchase of these three standard sedans will replace
the last three police package sedans assigned to the Detective
Division and provide the vehicles necessary to continue the
program.

INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA PORTE
TO: Charles Smith, Chief of Police
FROM: Louis Rigby, Purchasing Manage
DATE: March 22, 1988
SUBJECT: Purchase of Rental Cars
Sealed bids #0223 for used rental cars were to be opened February .1, 1988.
Bid requests were mailed to four rental agencies but none were returned.
On February 3, I spoke with the City Attorney about the situation and was
advised that legal, competitive bidding requirements were met and that we could
negotiate for the purchase of the vehicles.
After speaking with representatives from the rental agencies that the bids
were sent to, I found that they thought our specifications were "too rigid"
for rental fleets. Examples of this were the 20,000 mile maximum and eight
cylinder engine.
There was a meeting in your office on February 5 with David Hartley of
Hertz. He said there would be no problem finding the cars we need and would
call back that afternoon. There was no return call from Mr. Hartley and
during the following week I called his office three times and left messages
that were not returned.
The week of February 22, I spoke with Jerry Ryan of National Car Rental
about the cars and after giving him the basics of the situation, I transferred
the call to your office. On March 1, I spoke with Loretta Pheiffer with Avis
and gave her the same information. On March 3, you and I, along with Lt. Powell
and Sgt. Butchee, went to look at cars at both National and Avis.
After seeing and driving the cars offered at both locations, it appears
that Avis has the most to offer. Their cars were very clean with up-to-date
maintenance records and are within the budgeted funds. The cars do not,
however, meet the original specifications as written, but all agencies were
offered the same opportunity to quote the same type vehicles.
Please submit your recommendation along with an agenda request form by
the prescribed time before the next scheduled Council meeting. If there is
a need to delay bringing this item to Council, please notify me.

RE: Annual Malathion Contract
Dear Sir:
The City of Baytown received bids on February 24, 1988, for
our cities' malathion needs for the upcoming year.
The City of Baytown mailed bids to nine vendors and received
four proposals. The low bidder meeting specifications is B & G
Chemical, Inc. with a bid of $937.44 per 54 gallon drum ($17.36
per gallon). I have attached a copy of B & G Chemicals bid and
our bid tabulation for your reference. The pricing offered is
$54.00 less than last year's contract price.
We have taken this to our City Council for their approval
and they have initiated an interlocal agreement among our cities
on March 10, 1988. Please find three originals of the interlocal
agreement enclosed. The three originals should be signed and sent
back to me as soon as possible. I will send the three originals
to the City of Seabrook for their signatures. Upon receiving the
agreements from the City of Seabrook I will return one to you for
your records. If you have any questions on the contract or the
interlocal agreement, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Debbie R. Terry

SUBJECT: Recommendation On Re -bid Of Hydraulic and Vacuum
Cleaning Unit
Advertised, sealed bids #0250 for a hydraulic cleaning and vacuum unit
were opened and read on March 14, 1988. Request for bids were mailed
to five manufacturer representatives with four returning bids. As
requested by City Council, this was a rebid of a previously bid item.
Bids were requested with two options, 60 gallon per minute or 80 gallon
per minute water pumps. This was done to test the market on the larger
capacity pumps. After consultation with all user departments, a
decision was made to recommend the 60 gallon per minute water pump
unit. This size pump will meet the requirements of most the daily
situations encountered by all users. The additional cost of the 80
gallon per minute water pump equipped unit is not justified.
The recap of the bids utilizing the 60 gallon per minute water pump is
as follows:
1.

Honorable Mayor and City Officials:
For many years Entex and its predecessors have supplied
your City with dependable natural gas service. We have made
a conscientious effort to anticipate and meet our customers'
needs under all operating conditions.
Each year Entex has made an adjustment in its rates to
reflect annual changes in the level of its operating
expenses occasioned by increases in wages, depreciation,
insurance, and other expenses incurred by the company in
providing high quality service to our customers.
As a result of Entex's efforts to minimize its opera-
ting costs, the increase in the cost of service per customer
in 1987 as compared with 1986 is minimal. In light of the
generally poor economic conditions in our service area,
Entex will make no adjustment to its rates in 1988 for this
increase. By foregoing the cost of service adjustment in
1988, Entex will permanently exclude from its rates the small
cost increase we experienced. in 1987. As an active and
responsible participant in the communities in which we
operate, we believe that this action is appropriate this
year. We will report again in 1989 as to changes in the cost
of service during 1988 as compared with 1987 and make such
adjustment as may then be necessary.
Entex is pleased to report that there will be no in-
crease in rates in 1988. We will continue to operate our
system in the most efficient and cost effective manner con-
sistent with safe, high quality gas service to our customers.
We will be pleased to answer any further questions you may
have regarding our operations. We assure you that we will do
everything possible to continue to merit your confidence in
our Company.
Sincerely,
ENTEX
LA PORTE,TEXAS

Dear Steve,

March 21, 19P8
As you are aware, flight activity at Ira Porte Airport ha.s almost doubled
over the last two months due to the Eastern Air Line Pilot Fntry Program. I
project the flight activity will double again by this September.
Decently I have been in contact with representatives of the local General
Aviation District Office expressing my concerns over flight safety. Specifically,
I was discussing the need for an FAA control tower. I think, however. for this
to happen I will need more support. Therefore. I would like to see the city of
La Porte form an advisory committee or an airport plamninr, committee. Some of
their functions could. be finding ways to improve and. expand airport usage,
establishing local flight *policies and communicating our needs to the FAA.
Whatever is decided. I urge ,you to act as quickly as possible. The last
thing anyone wants is to draw negative attention to our program through an
accident.
Please feel free to contact me at the collea_e at 476--1501. ext 502 or
home at 471-8671 if I can be of service to you..

Dear Steve, .
Hazelwood Enterprises Inc. would like to enter into a contractual
relationship with the City of La Porte. We propose to hold the price
you are presently paying per cubic yard for garbage and sludge. This
price freeze will begin April 1, 1980 and last until April 1, 1990. In
consideration for this price freeze, Hazelwood Enterprises wishes to enter
into a 5 (five) year contract with a 5 (five) year option for the disposal
of the City of La Porte's garbage and sludge. Each year of the 5 (five)
year contract, Hazelwood Enterprises and the City of La Porte will negotiate
a price based on the Local Houston Area Consumer Price Index.
We think this relationhip will be beneficial to both parties. If we
can be of any futher assistance, please do no hesitate to call.

INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Rober rrera, City Manager
FROM: Ste it tt, Public Works Director
DATE: March 22, 1988
SUBJECT: LANDFILL DISPOSAL CONTRACT
The City of La Porte currently has a contract with Hazelwood
Enterprises, Inc. of Baytown to dispose of municipal solid waste. The
contract term is from October 1, 1986 to October 1, 1989, with the
following payment schedule:
October 1, 1986 to March 31, 1987
April 1, 1987 to March 31, 1988
April 1, 1988 to March 31, 1989
April 1, 1989 to October 1, 1989
$3.25 per cubic yard garbage
$5.50 per cubic yard sludge
$3.50 per cubic yard garbage
$6.00 per cubic yard sludge
$3.75 per cubic yard garbage
$6.50 per cubic yard sludge
$4.00 per cubic yard garbage
$7.00 per cubic yard sludge
As shown in the above schedule, the cost per cubic yard escalates
every April 1 by $0.25 for garbage and $0.50 for dewatered sewer sludge.
The next scheduled increase begins next month.
The City was contacted by Hazelwood Enterprises, Inc. to discuss the
contract. At a meeting on March 22, 1988, Hazelwood proposed the
following:
1. Freeze current price per cubic yard. Garbage is $3.50 and
dewatered sewer sludge is $6.00.
2. Extend current contract from October 1, 1989 to April 1, 1990.
Price freeze would be in effect through this period.
3. At the end of current contract, negotiate five (5) year
contract, with five (5) year option, with increases tied to the
Consumer Price Index.
4. Base price for five (5) year contract would be current price
plus the Consumer Price Index from April 88 to March 31, 1990.

Landfill Disposal Contract
March 22, 1988
Page two
At first glance, this appears to be an excellent opportunity for the
City to save a substantial amount of money. Additionally, Hazlewood
Enterprises, Inc. indicated that they are initiating similar talks with
other contracted entities, notably Baytown and Deer Park. Attachment "A"
illustrates the potential short-term cost savings of this proposal.
Several factors, however, need to be examined, and specific contract
language should be retained or modified to adequately protect the City"s
ability to provide the most cost effective solid waste disposal solution.
There appears to be several reasons for Hazelwood Enterprises, Inc.
to offer to forego future price increases on a firm contract. The
contracts with La Porte, Baytown, and Deer Park were negotiated prior to
the current economic downturn, and in the absence of any viable
competition. Severe budget cutbacks, new technology in the form of
recourse recovery and similar developments, and the proposed La Porte
Landfill have raised the threat that a continual spiral of increasing
landfill fees could make other disposal options more economically
attractive. Loss of revenue from a city that chooses another alternative
would be greater than increased revenues from price increases.
The current contract does not require the City of La Porte to
dispose of its solid waste with Hazelwood Enterprises, Inc. In order for
the City to continue to explore disposal alternatives, such as the La
Porte Landfill or a joint use of the Deer Park Transfer Station, any
changes in the current or future contracts should specifically exclude
any requirements that the City dispose of its solid waste at Hazelwood
Enterprises, Inc. exclusively.
Additionally, although the current contract provides for the
assignment of the contract to a private contractor providing collection
within the City, the amended and future contracts should provide for the
assignment of the contract to an entity providing transfer of the City"s
solid waste, such as the Deer Park Transfer Station.
As shown on Attachment "A", the potential savings for the remainder
of the budget year amounts to some $6,655.75. The potential savings for
the life of the contract amounts to some t39,801.00. With the potential
savings, and favorable terms that do not tie the City to a single
disposal option, it is recommended that the City develop an amendment to
the current contract with Hazelwood Enterprises, Inc. as soon as
possible. Because the billing for the month of April is generated in
May, and the cost is to increase beginning April 1, 1988, the contract
can be negotiated and approved prior to the scheduled price increase.
If I can answer any questions, please advise.
