13 November 1989
To: The Honorable Mayor & Council Members
From: Robert L. Swanagan
I am sorry that I am unable to be present on this occasion to make this
appeal, however, I hope this written plea will suffice.
I am asking that you please permit the addition to the Jennie Riley Center be
named the "Charles Walker Wing." Mr. Walker has been a very ardent supporter
of the City of La Porte and a pillar of the Black community. The members of
the La Porte Community Civic Club, and the entire Black community feel his
contribution has been significant and warrants this type of recognition. At a
time when positive, Black role models are few and far between, his example is
one that any youngster, Black, White, etc., would want to emulate.
My reason for writing to you is because I was told there is opposition to
doing this because some have indicated that a building should be named after
someone who is still living. I hope this is not the case, because it would
truly be an opportunity missed to give a deserving person flowers when they
can still smell them.
Thank you for reading this appeal.
RLS:jh
Sincerely,
Robert L. Swanagan

all of Old La Porte Road. Hickha. Industries, Inc. agreed to
receive quotes, hire, and supervise a contractor for
reconstructing and paving the road according to the
specifications reco-.ended by an engineering firm retained to
investigate the existing road conditions. Hickham Industries,
Inc. agreed to aaintain their portion of the road, and to execute
ease~nt8 for existing and future water, sewer and drainage
facilities.
The City agreed to prepare plan/profile drawings for the
road and drainage i.provements. The City also agreed to perform
drainage maintenance, supply any base aaterial needed on the
public portion of the road to match the proposed profile, and to
..intain the public portion of the road. Approxiaately one
hundred fifteen (115) tons of additional material was needed, for
a total cost to the City of One Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-Four
Dollars and Ninety Cents ($1,294.90). Estimated cost to
reconstruct and pave the public portion of the road is Thirty
Thousand Dollars ($30,000).
This is an excellent example of public/private partnership,
and an indication of Hickham's commitment to the co..unity.
Hickham Industries, Inc. should be commended for this outstanding
contribution to the City of La Porte and its citizens.

Ordinance
Exhibits:
1) Ordinance No. 1466-B
SUMMARY , RECOMMENDATION
Because of the continuing concern on Myrtle Creek, the City
recently surveyed the pipeline crossing to get an "as built"
condition of the "hump". After thorough examination of the data
I feel that a reduced speed zone is warranted for this section of
Myrtle Creek Drive. The reduced speed zone is recommended because
of the geometry of the "hump" over the Humble Pipeline easement.
Because of the neighborhood setting and conditions more restrictive
criteria could be justified. After applying more restrictive
criteria, namely 3.5 ft. eye height and .5 ft. object height, a
posted speed of 20 MPH is required to insure safe stopping sight
distance over the hump.

The Honorable Norman L Malone
Mayor, City of La Porte
P. O. Box 1115
La Porte, TX 77572-1115
Dear Mayor Malone:
The Harris County Appraisal District is governed by a five-member Board
selected pursuant to the provisions of the Property Tax Code and
resolutions adopted in 1981 by more than three-fourths of the voting
taxing units in Harris County. One of these five directors is selected by the
governing bodies of all incorporated cities and towns, excluding the city of
Houston.
These cities are currently in the process of selecting their representative to
the Board for the two-year term beginning January 1, 1990. The initial step
in the selection process was nomination. The deadline for our receipt of
nominations was October 16, 1989.
It is now your city's right and responsibility to vote for the nominee you
desire to serve on the Board. For this purpose, we have prepared the
attached ballot listing alphabetically the candidates nominated by the
cities. The governing body of each city is entitled to one vote for the
candidate of its choice from the names appearing on the ballot.
The vote must be by resolution. The resolution, or a certified copy thereof,
together with the completed ballot, shall be delivered to the Office of the
Chief Appraiser at 2800 North Loop West, Houston, Texas 77092, or P. O.
Box 920975, Houston, Texas 77292-0975, on or before Wednesday,
November 15, 1989.
On or before November 30, 1989, the Chief Appraiser will count the votes
cast and declare elected the candidate who receives the highest number of
votes. The results of the election will be submitted to the governing body
of each voting taxing unit and to the candidates nominated. A tie vote will
be resolved by a method of chance chosen by the Chief Appraiser.
To assist you in the election procedure, I have enclosed a suggested form of
resolution for casting the governing body's vote for the candidate of its
choice. Both the resolution and the ballot should be delivered to my office
by November 15,1989.

Re: Engineering Services
Wave Pool Completion/Warranty
Dear Mr. Joerns:
In accordance with our discussions concerning the items at
the Wave Pool that require completion or modification, we shall
assist the City' personnel in the preparation of specifications,
sketches, and drawings suitable for obtaining competitive bids for
the necessary work. Because the work in some areas is not well
defined, some of the construction will need to be done on a time
and materials basis. We would also recommend that a limited
number of qualified contractors be specially selected and
prequalified for bidding because of the nature of the work.
For our part, we estimate the work effort shall cost from
$5,000 to $7,500 for the review, design, and construction
inspection or coordination. Our work and reimbursement shall be
in accordance with the attached Standard Schedule of Compensation
and General Conditions.

the performance of such contract, and declared bankruptcy.
Thereafter, Texas Insurance Company, the bonding company for Crystal
Pools, Inc., assumed performance of the obligations of Crystal
Pools, Inc., and completed construction of the wave pool.
Thereafter, the City of La Porte made demand upon Texas Insurance
Company to complete and perform certain items within the scope of
the one year contractor's warranty, as provided for in the original
agreement between the City of La Porte and Crystal Pools, Inc.
Texas Insurance Company was declared insolvent by the Texas
Insurance Commissioner, and placed in receivership, prior to its

Section 2. It is therefore necessary for the City of La Porte
to have the warranty work engineered and constructed by other
parties. Attached to this resolution as Exhibit "A", and
incorporated by reference herein, is a proposed plan for the
completion of the Little Cedar Bayou Park wave pool contract and
warranty items. The City Council of the City of La Porte hereby
approves the plan attached hereto as Exhibit "A", and authorizes

J.lODEL GUIDELINES AND CRITERIA FOR GRANTING TAX ABATE1'~El~T
IN A REINVESTMENT ZONE CREATED IN HARRIS COUNTY
rlhereas, the creation and retention of job opportunities
that bring new wealth is the highest civic priority; and
Whereas, new jobs and investment will benefit the area
economy, provide needed opportunities, strengthen the real estate
market and generate tax revenue to support local services; and
Whereas, the communi ties \-li thin Harri s County must compete
\or'i th other localities across the nation currently offering ta):
inducements to attract new plant and modernization projects; and
Whereas, any tax incentives offered in Harris County would
reduce needed tax revenue unless strictly limited in application
to those new and existing industries that bring new wealth to the
community; and
Whereas, any tax incentives should not adversely affect the
competi tive position of e>:isting companies operating in Harris
County; and
)
Whereas the abatement of property taxes, when offered to
attract primary jobs in industries 'which bring in money from
outside a community instead of merely recirculating dollars
within a community, has been shown to be an effective method of
enhancing and diversifying an area's economy; and
Whereas effective September 1, 1987, Texas law will require
any eligible taxing jurisdiction to establish Guidelines and
Criteria as to eligibility for tax abatement agreements prior to
granting of any future tax abatement, said Guidelines and
Criteria to be unchanged for a two year period unless amended by
a three-quarters vote; and
Whereas to assure a common, coordinated effort to promote
our conununi ties' economic development, any such Guidelines and
Criteria should be adopted only through the cooperation of
affected school districts, cities and Barris County; and
Whereas Harris County Commissioners Court has approved the
. circulation of the attached Guidelines and Criteria to affected
taxing jurisdictions for consideration as a common policy for all
jurisdiction which choose to participate in tax abater-,ent
agreements;
Now~ therefore be it resolved that (effected jurisdiction)
does hereby propose for consideration and adoption these
Guidelines and Criteria for granting tax abatement in

follow the legal procedures for their protez~ and/or
conte:st; or (2) violates any of the terms and conditions of
the abatement agreement and fails to cure during the Cure

an assessment of the real and personal property comprising
the reinvestment zone. Each year, the company or
individual receiving abatement shall furnish the assessor
wi th such information as may be necessary for the

Appraiser shall notify the affected jurisdictions which
levies taxes of the amount of the ..assessment.
(b)
The agreement shall stipulate that employees and/or
designated representatives of the (affected jurisdiction)
will have access to the reinvestment zone during the term
of the abatement to. inspect th.e facility to determine if
the terms and conditions of .the agreement are being met.
All inspections will be made only after the giving of
twenty-four (24) hours prior notice and will only be
conducted in such manner as to not unreasonably interfere
wi th the construction and/or operation of the facility.
All inspections will be made with one or more
representatives of the company or individual and in
accordance with its safety standards.
-,
(c)
Upon completion of construction the (affec~ed

These Guidelines and Criteria are effective upon the date
of their adoption and will remain in force for two years,
at which time all reinvestment zones and tax abatement
contracts created pursuant to its provisions will be
reviewec. by the (governing body) to determine whether the
coals have been ach1eved. Based on that review, the
Guidelines and Criteria will be modified, renewed or
eliminated.

For the Creation of Reinvestment Zones in Harris County
Section la.The abatement policy is d~fined for "economic
cevelopment purposes." No provision is made for redevelopment,
which i!; being handled separately. Abatement applies to reill
proper~y only and therefore exclude~ p~r50nal property such ilS
office fi::ture5 and inventories. The net effect of thig
limi tation will be to assure that local governments receive
addi tional revenue from personal property associated with the
tax.
Section lb. All "affected jurisdictions" will receive notice o~
public hearing (Section 3c) and abatement will not be granted if
it has a negative impact on an afferi~ed ju~isdi=tion (Section
4a). "later districts and other special jurisdiction5 ilre not
"affected jurisdictions."
"
'Section ld. The "base year value" applies to the value before
i~provement5, which will be fully taxable (Section 2i). It has
not been determined at this time whether the base year value will
be fixed or allowed to fluctuate based on the changes in mar~et
conditions and value of the base assets. The base year value
includes properties on the tax roll Jilnuary 1 pr~ceding the
~gre~~ent as well as any properties added until the ag~eement is
execu~ec. In ether words, improvements added after J~nuary 1 bu~
before the execution of the agreement will not be eliyible fer
abatement.
Section Ie. The definition "deierred maintenance" il?plies to
certain ineligible maintenance investments necessary for
continued operations (Section 2e).
Section 1 f. A "distribution center facility" is eligible for
abatement (Section ~a) provided that the majority of service is
provided to ?oint3 at least 100 miles from Harris County. The
purpose is to avoid abating proper".:y located in. Harris County
that primarily serves Harris County markets. Such businesses
locate here to tap our market and incentive is unnecessary. It
is doubtful whether abatement would provide any addi tion~l
employment. The definition provides that the facility may also
"service" owned goods or a~sets. In other words, a regional or
nationa~, service or repair facility is eligible.
". Section. 19 . Eligibility for ubatement due te "expansioIl"
( (Section 2c) requires that production capacity be increased.
Section Ii. A "manufacturing facility" eligible for abatement

here is that the
(Section 2[)
not selling in a
Section Ij. Definition of "modernization" allows the
administrator to delineate between an ineligible deferred
maintenance investment and an eligible modernization investment
where productivity ~s increased or the technology is updated.
Section 11 Other Basic Industry is a catchall intended to allow
abat~ment (Sec~ion 2a) for good economic development projects not
elsewhere covered. The requirements are that the facility (1)
produce products or services that primarily serve outside the
four-county Houston Consolidated Hetropolitan Statistica.!. Area
(CIISA); (2) result in nt::w jobs; und (3) Dring neu \lealth in.
Section Im."Productive life" deals with ineligble property
(Section 2e). It would be illogical for jurisdictions to yrant
abate~ent to a short-lived property that would never be ta~ed.
Accou~ting conventions often allow for a short productive life
for depreciation purposes. II Productive life II here means the
'\ number of years the property is actually expected to be in
service in the facility. Section 2e sta tes that property must.
have productive life of at least 15 years to be eligible.
Section In. The purpose in allow1ng for an abatement for a
regional entertainment facility (Section 2a) is to encourase the
location of regional facilities that will draw maximum dollars
and new wealth to the conununity. Example: Disneyworld. E:~C1Ud::d
are indigenous facilities that pri~arily serve the local
population. Such a facility has no positive effect since it
merely shift entertainment dollars from one form of entertainment
to another. Definition requires that a majority of users reside
100 miles from any part of Harris County.
;
Section 10..A "research facility" eligible for abatement (Section
2a) must focus on applied product research as opposed to
behuvioral or government-related research.
Section 1p. A "regional service facility" is eligible (Secticn
2.:1) and is similar to a regional distribution i.:lcility. ::Lt
requires that the facility must primarily serve a regional market
at least 100 miles from Harris County. The inten~ is to make
ineligible those types of service businesses which do most their
\-Jerk in cur local markets while at the same time encouraging
nutional servi~e centers that bring new payroll.
Section 2a. Ab.:ltement is restricted to defined facilities.
Section 2b.
u.greement
Provides that no work under construction beiore
is executed will be abated, that abu.tement is
the
e
e
Annotation, page 3
l
restricted to new improvements that must be specified in the
agreement.
Section 2c. Provides that new facilities as well as those
existing facilities which are being expanded or modernized are
eligible. This "level playing field" gives equal treutment to
employers who have already made investments in Harris County
since their new investments could be abuted.
Section 2d. Describes the types of investments that are eligible.
Included are structures, fixed machinery and si tei:nprovements
plus office space and other iF.lprovements necessary for the
operation and administration. Assets unrelated to the project are
not eligible. .
)
Section 2e. Provides an ey.tensive list of properties that il:::-C
i~eligiule for abutements: la~d, in~entories (particularly
manufacturing inventory, vlhich is a.' significant sourc~ cd
revenues for local governments), supplies, tools, furr.ishinlJs,
personal property, vehicles, vessels, aircraft, housing, hotel
accommodations. Housing is excluded because it creates unworkilble
problems for competitors in the housing industry. The !:;ame
problem applies with the hotel industry, which locates facilities
because of the market, not abiltement. Deferred maintenance is
ineligible because it is a nonnal part of operating a plant.
Improvements for the generiltion of electrical capacity are
e}:cluded from abatement because these types of investments er.ter
into direct competition with regulated utilities which do not
h~ve the benefit of abatement. Improvements to store, produce or
distribute natur~l gas and fluids that are not integral to the
operation of the facility are excluded because existing pipelinc!:;
and other transmission systems are not eligible. Properties uhich
have a productive life of less that 15 years are excluded to
assure governments will get tax revenue for a period e:.:ceeding
the time frame of the abatement.
Section 2f. Owned/ leased Facilities. Al though it would be
advantageous to exclude all leased property, financing
arrangements often force an operator to use a leased facility. In
this case abatement will be allowed only if a binding agreement
is eAecuted by the county with the lessor and the lessee. voth
parties are subject to recapture.
Section 2g. Value and Term of Abatement. Once the agreement is
executed, taxes will be abated effective January 1 following fo:::-
up to t'Wo years during construction and a ma::imUF.l of five years
thereafter.

By ubating the construction period, we do not put the goverr.mcnt
in the position where they collect revenue during construction
only to have it cut off after construction is completed. Not~
that if const:ruction e::ceeds two years for purposes of abatenent,

abatement programs elsewhere.
provisions for extending the abatement period through the term ot
the reinvesL-nent zone is intended to deal with any future chi.1nges
that might occur in state la\'l, a!i well as provide for the
abal:.ement of a second or third-stage project that might e}:tcnc
well into the term of the reinvestilent zone.
The abatement need not start immediately. Execution. of the
contract (Section Sa) can occur at any time after County approves
the resolution (Section 3d).
Section 2h. Economic qualifications described herein are intenc1ec.1
to limit investments as far as practical to those tht.t are
beneficial to the community and practical to administer.
)
Section 2hl. Provides for a minimum new investment yielding
$25,000 incremental tax revenue to Harris County government. At a
$.48 tax rate, the minimum investment is $5 million. After
abatement, the minimum project can be e::pected to yield about
$100,000 annually under the typical $2.00 cornbirled'
city-county-school taA rate.
Section 2h2. Deals with the employment implications of the
proposed improvement. Note that the proj ect . does not have to
cause or create new employment. It can preve~:lt or mi!liIlli::e the
losz ot existing employment where technolog;cal change would
otherwise cause us to lose a plant to another state or region. AS
an e::ilmple, ilssume that a company approves a new petrochelllicu.l
plant and is between a Hurris County location or another
location. As a part of that decision, an old plant in H,arris
County would be shut down. The new plant is a significant step
forward in technology, and as a consequence would only require 5U
employes, compared to the existing process that resuires :;:00
employes. In the event that no abatement \lere offE::red, harris
County could lose all 200 employes. However, by allm.,.ing
abatement to minimize the los!i of employment, Harris County would
be eligible to offer the abatement and compete to keep those 50
permanent jobs. Construction jobs are a bonu!i.
(
Section 2h3. Deals with the concern that compilnies might transfer
employe~ from one part of the county to another to get abatement.
That sort of situation is not entirely precluded, since there
will be cases in which companies might want to consolidate part
or their work force into a new facility. Huwever, policy do~s
provide that the investment must ~ot solely or primarily h~ve the
e
e
An~ot~tion, page 5
-;
effect of transferring employment. The term "primarily" as used
here and elsewhere means a majority of the jobs must be new.
--
Section 2h4. Deals wi th_ the competi ti ve problems created by
abatement. It .provides that the facility must be necessary
because the prospect cannot conduct business using existing
capuci ty when a reasonable financial allo\lance is made for the
improvements necessary to bring that existing property up to
specitica tion. This particular circumstance is appropriate to
office headquarters location. With 40 to 50 cillion square feet
ot empty officc space in the community, it is hard to iffiagine a
situation where another office building would be justificd. On
the other hand, a corporate headquarters might be justified i~
an area such as Clear Lake where there is a shortage of office
space. It would be reasonable to abate because of the ~ultiplier
efiect on jobs. In another case, if a company h~d u~ique uific~
requiremcnts that could not be met with existing property, we
$hould be able to abate rather than 165~ the jobs. Yet \Ie du Hot
waITt; to grant blanket exemption to office buildings (even for
headquarters) that might add to the space glut, cause the loss of
taxes or put owners at a disadvantage. If a developer or anyone
el~e can make a reasonable case that existing property can be
used efficiently, abatement will not be granted.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: JOE SEASE- FIRE CHIEF

FROM: GARY WILLIAMS
SUBJECT:
MEDICAL DIRECTOR
As you know, Dr. Suarez, our Medical Director, has resigned as
of 12:01 a.m. September 1, 1989. For an EMS to function at our level,
it is mandated by State law to have a qualified physician to serve as
a Medical Director.
In order to remain within compliance with State law, several
area physicians were interviewed. The following qualifications were
utilized as primary factors:
1. Board certified emergency physician (American College
Emergency Physicians).
2. Must live and/or work in our immediate vicinity.
3. Must be willing and able to serve ten (10) hours a month
on site and an additional twenty (20) hours off site for
chart reviews.
~. Must have verifiable prlor experience as an EMS Medical
Director.
5. Must be willing to adopt our existing Standing Orders.
6. Must be willing to provide Protocols for and allow the
use of Intraosseous Infusions and Needle Chest
Decompressions.
Four local Emergency Room Physicians were interviewed, of which
two meet all criteria. The deciding factor became availability and
proximity.
The Physician nominated for Council consideration is
Dr. Blake Berry, M.D. Dr. Berry is the new Director of the Emergency
Department at Beltway Community Hospital and is also Medical Director
for Ft. Bend County EMS (for further background information, see the
attached curricula vitae).
In order to continue to provide E.M.S. beyond Dr. Suarez's
resignation, an interim agreement was enacted (see attached) with
Dr. Berry. The terms of this agreement do not include any monetary
arrangement but did provide for Dr. Berry to be included in the
City's malpractice insurance.
e
e
A contract has been drafted (attached) for the City
review and contains the necessary stipulations for
agreement. A copy of this draft has also been provided for
Dr. Berry's review.
Manager's
a lasting
While Dr. Berry has not requested a specific sum for
reimbursement, it would be highly appropriate and customary to
provide a stipend for travel and time spent. it is my recommendation
that Dr. Berry be contracted with five hundred dollars ($500.00) a
month, ($6,000 year), plus be provided malpractice insurance as per
the current arrangement.
Upon return on September 18, 1989 I will contact Dr. Berry to
ascertain if the draft contract is acceptable to him. If the draft,
as proposed, is acceptable to the City Manager and Dr. Berry, I will
prepare duplicate originals for Council action.

FROM: GARY WILLIAMS
SUBJECT:
MEDICAL DIRECTOR
As you requested, a survey of area services was performed in
order to establish a norm for the reimbursement of Medical Directors.
Even though numerous services were surveyed, the results are
very inconclusive due to most areas having either a volunteer and/or
a Basic Life Support service. Of the area EMS' certified as M.l.C.U.,
all services either are currently providing compensation or are under
consideration.
The following lS a brief synopsis of those services:
City of Baytown-M.I.C.U.-Compensation being considered
at $8,OOO--Insurance Provided.
Galveston-M.I.C.U.-$17,OOO--Insurance Provided
Ft. Bend County-M.I.C.U.-$12,OOO-Insurance Provided
Montgomery County-M.I.C.U.-Medical Director is Director
of all emergency services and is compensated as a
full-time employee.- Insurance Provided.
Kingwood-M.I.C.U.-$12,OOO-Insurance Provided
Alvin-A.L.S.-(currently upgrading)-$75.00 per hour-
Insurance Provided.
As you can see in this apples-to-apples comparison, the amount I
have proposed for our Medical Director will be the bottom end of the
scale for M.I.C.U. services.

RE: Contract between City of La Porte and Dr. Blake Berry,
M.D., Interim Medical Director of La Porte EMS
Dear Dr. Berry:
Attached to this letter is a contract which we have proposed
for use between yourself and the City of La Porte in connection
with your provision to the City of La Porte of services as
Medical Director, commencing September I, 1989.
Please be aware that the City of La Porte is not in a
position to enter into a formal contractual arrangement with you
until the Contract has received City Council review and approval.
However, since Dr. Suarez, .our previous Medical Director, has
resigned effective August 31, 1989, and since we cannot provide
ongoing emergency medical service without a Medical Director, we
would ask that you consider accepting the position of acting
Medical Director on an interim basis, until formal City Council
approval can be obtained, which I would anticipate to occur
within 60 days.
You will be covered under the City of La Porte's Texas
Municipal League (TMC) insurance, which includes medical
malpractice coverage, provided that you are providing only
indirect supervision of La Porte EMS medical care or are
providing on-site supervision at the La Porte emergency medical
facility. The City of La Porte's insurance policy will not cover
you for providing actual patient treatment. We understand that
this would be covered by your malpractice insurance policy.
Please contact Doug de la Morena, Director of Human
Resources for the City of La Porte, to maintain the exact
coverage available to you under the TMC plan. Please satisfy
yourself as to the scope and extent of the TMC coverage prior to
signing this letter.
Further, we would indicate to
arra~gement would follow along the lines
which we have attached for your review.

~UMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The 10 inch sewer line located between S. Virginia Street and S. Iowa
Street from East Avenue B to East Avenue D has become a continuing
maintenance problem. The line has deteriorated to an extent that the
aggregate is exposed along the entire length. The deterioration is caused
by hydrogen sulfide gas attacking the concrete.
McKey Construction was contacted for an estimate to replace the entire
eight hundred sixty (860) foot section of pipe~ Due to the limited working
space afforded in the sixteen (16) foot alley, the number of fences to be
removed, tree removal, and the location of the other utilities, the
estimate was for a total of Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($52,500.00). This included the removal and replacement of the existing
six (6) inch water line.
Insituform Gulf, South was contacted for a quote on rehabilitating the line
using their patented Insituform process. This method utilizes a fiberglass
liner pushed through the pipe using water pressure. After the liner is
cured by circulating hot water, the existing residential services are cut
out using a robotic cutter with a tv camera. There should be no excavation
necessary and service will be disrupted for a period of approximately one
(1) day versus the month or more needed for conventional construction
methods. Insituform Gulf, South quoted a lump sum price of Thirty-Five
Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty-Eight Dollars and Fifty Cents ($35,988.50) for
the project. Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) was budgeted in the
capital improvements section of the 1989/90 Operating Budget for the
engineering and construction of this project.
Staff recommends award of a contract to Insituform Gulf, South as a sole
source vendor for the rehabilitation of 860 feet of 10 inch sewer in the
amount of $35,988.50.
Action Required by CouncIl:

Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation, Insituform Process
TO:
FROM:
The 10 inch sanitary sewer line located between S. Virginia and
S. Iowa from E. Avenue B to E. Avenue 0 has become a continuing
maintenance problem. The pipe has deteriorated to the point of
exposing the aggregate due to exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas.
A major failure similar to the recent East E Street failure is
inevitable.
There are many construction problems associated with the location
of this line. The alley width is 16 feet with most of the length
having fences abutting the alley. A water line, gas line, and
overhead power line share the alley. Additionally, there are
several large trees encroaching on the alley right-of-way.
Conventional construction will entail the removal of most fencing
along the length of the alley. The depth of the line (10-15 ft)
will force the use of shoring and the electric power poles will
have to be either moved or braced. The water line will have to
be relocated and possibly the gas line. The narrow width of the
alley will force the contractor to remove all of the excavated
dirt.
McKey Construction has been contacted for an estimated cost of
replacing the sewer line. The estimated cost is fifty-two
thousand five hundred dollars ($52,500.00). This figure includes
the cost of removal and replacement of the water line.
A process called Insituform is available to reline the existing
pipe without excavation. This process involves the insertion of
a fiberglass liner using water pressure to push the liner through
the sewer line. The liner is cured using hot water. After the
line is cured, the service taps are located and cut out using a
robotic cutter equipped with a tv camera. Barring unforseen
difficulties, the entire process should be completed in a day's
time versus the month or better required by conventional
construction. The flow characteristics of the pipe will be
enhanced by the smooth surface of the liner, although a minimal
amount of diameter will be lost.

Insituform Process
November 6, 199
The Insituform process has been used by several cities in this
area. The Cities of Houston, Bellaire, Nassau Bay, Pearland,
Pasadena, Galveston, EI Lago, Webster, and Sugarland have used
this method of sewer rehabilitation and all indicated they were
very satisfied with the results. Sugar land installed 780 feet of
8 and 10 inch at a cost of $45,750.00 or $58.65 per foot in May
of 1988. Insituform Gulf South has quoted a price of $35,988.50
or $41.85 per foot for 860 feet of 10 inch pipe.
This is a patented process licensed to Insituform Gulf, South in
this region, and falls under the health, safety, and welfare
exemption section of the state statutes.It is recommended that
Insituform Gulf, South be awarded a contract to rehabilitate the
10 inch sewer line located between Iowa and Virginia from Avenue
B to Avenue D, a distance of 860 feet, at a lump sum cost of
thirty-five nine hundred eighty-eight and fifty cents
($38,988.50). Fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) was budgeted
in the capital improvements portion of the 1989/90 Operating
Budget for this project.

Subject:
Proposal to InsituformR the 10-Inch Sewer in the Easement Between
Iowa Street and Virginia Street From B Street to D Street.
Dear Mr. Jacobs:
We are pleased to quote you the sum of $35,988.50 to perform the above work. This
work consists of the following:
1. Pre-clean and televise the sewer.
2. By-pass pumping as required.
3. Install the InsitutubeR in approximately 860 linear feet of 10 inch sewer.
4. Reinstitute the sixteen house services by cutting the holes in the InsitutubeR
from inside the sewer line using a robotic cutting machine.
5. Inspecting the finished product by closed circuit television. The television
tape is for the City's records.
The original television report indicated that the two point repairs of 50 linear feet
and 21 linear feet were made with 8 inch PVC pipe. Our Estimating Engineer's
review of the television tape leads him to suspect that these repairs were made by
slipping 10 inch PVC sewer pipe inside the deteriorated 10 inch concrete pipe. If,
however, these are 8 inch pve pipes, you can expect some longitudinal wrinkling of
the InsitutubeR. . .
The above prices are predicated on the following being supplied at no charge to
IGS:
1. A representative of the City to locate the access manholes and the line to be
serviced.
2. Access to rights-of-way and easements.
3. Sufficient water to perform the work.
4. A dump site for any debris removed from the sewer line.

RECOMMENDED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
FOR
CURED-IN-PLACE-PIPE (CIPP)
1. Intent: It is the intent of this specification to provide for the
reconstruction of existing sewer lines by forming a new pipe within an
existing structurally deteriorated pipe which has generally maintained its
original shape. The cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) shall provide flow capacity
equal to or greater than 100% of the original pipe's flow capacity when
new. The installation of the CIPP shall be accomplished by the use of the
Insituform Process or approved equal process. The process is defined as the
reconstruction of sewer lines by installation of a thermosetting resin
impregnated flexible felt fiber tube (coated on one side with polyurethane)
which is inverted into the existing sewer line utilizing a water column.
Curing is accomplished by circulating hot water (or other approved fluid)
throughout the length of the inverted tube to cure the thermosetting resin
into a hard impermeable pipe. The pipe shall extend the full length of the
original pipe and shall provide a structurally sound, jointless, close-fitting,
cured-in-place-pipe.
2. Reference Specifications: This specification references Insituform of
North America (INA) Standard Test Methods which are made a part hereof
by such reference and shall be the latest editions and revisions thereof.
Test methods of other approved equal processes shall be reviewed for
approval by the Owner's Representative.
3. General Corrosion Requirements: The CIPP shall be fabricated from
materials which when cured will be chemically resistant to withstand
in ternal exposure to domestic sewage.
4. Waste Analysis (Industrial Areas Only): In industrial areas where sewers
are subject to possible organics and inorganics other than normal domestic
sewage, the Owner's Representative shall obtain samples of the dry weather
sewage for chemical content analysis. This analysis shall be supplied to the
Contractor for his information. The Contractor shall supply various types
of cured resin coupons to the Owner's Representative for the Owner's use in
selection of the appropriate resin.
5. Materials:
a. The flexible felt fiber tube shall be fabricated to a size that
when installed it will neatly fit the internal circumference of
the conduit specified by the Owner. An allowance shall be
made for some circumferential stretching during inversion.
b. The minimum length shall be that deemed necessary by the
Contractor to effectively span the distance from the inlet to
the outlet of the respective manholes unless otherwise
specified. The Contractor shall verify the lengths in the field
, :....

before impregnation of the tube with resin. Individual
in version runs can be made over one or more manhole sections
as determined in the field by the Contractor and approved by
the Owner's Representative.
c. Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall furnish a
general purpose, unsaturated, polyester resin and catalyst
system compatible with the inversion process that provides
cured physical strengths specified herein.
d. The materials used shall result in an installed CIPP flow
capacity which will have equal to or greater than 100% of the
original pipe's flow capacity when new.
6. Physical Strength: The CIPP shall conform to the minimum structural
standards, as listed below.
Flexural Stress
Flexural Modulus
of Elasticity
#101 (Modified ASTM D-790)
#101 (Modified ASTM D-790)
4,500 psi
250,000 psi
(Values shown are for polyester resins commonly used in the United States.
Values for non-typical polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy resins may be
substituted when applicable.)
7. Deviations: The Contractor shall submit his price proposal for the
appropriate length, size and thickness designated in the proposal section.
The deterioration of sewers is an ongoing process. Should pre-inversion
inspections reveal the sewers to be in substantially different conditions than
those in the design consideration, the Contractor shall request appropriate
changes in the CIPP thickness, supporting such request with design data
based upon the structural design parameters contained in the latest edition
of the Insituform Engineering Design Guide or the design guide of an
approved equal process. The deviation, if approved, shall be reflected by
the appropriate increase or reduction in the unit cost for that size as agreed
to by the Owner's Representative.
8.
Pre-Installation Procedures:
shall be adhered to unless
Representative.
The following installation procedures
otherwise approved by the Owner's
a. Safety - The Contractor shall carry out his operations in strict
accordance with all applicable OSHA standards. Particular
attention is drawn to those safety requirements involving
work on an elevated platform and entry into a confined space.
b. Pre-inversion Cleaning - It shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor to remove all loose debris which is located within
the sewer pipe.
CIPP Specs (cont.)
Page 3
e
e
c. Pre-inversion Inspection - Inspection of sewer pipe shall be
performed by experienced personnel trained in locating
breaks, obstacles and service connections by closed circuit
television inspection. The interior of the pipe shall be
carefully inspected to determine the location of any
conditions which may prevent proper installation of the CIPP,
and it shall be noted so that these conditions can be corrected.
A videotape and suitable log shall be kept for later reference
by the Owner and/or Contractor.
d. Bypassing Sewage - When required for acceptable completion
of an inversion process task, the Contractor shall provide for
sewage flow maintenance around the section or sections of
pipe designated for the inversion process. The bypass shall be
made by plugging the line at an existing upstream manhole
and pumping the flow into a downstream manhole or adjacent
system. The pump and bypass lines shall be of adequate
capacity and size to handle the flow.-
e. Line Obstructions - If inspection reveals an obstruction tha t
cannot be removed by conventional sewer cleaning
equipment, such as heavy solids, dropped joints, protruding
service connections or collapsed pipe that will prevent
completion of the inversion process, then a point repair
excavation shall be made by the Owner or the Owner's
designated contractor to uncover and remove or repair the
obstruction.
9. Installation Procedures:
a. Wet Out - The Contractor shall designate a location where the
tube will be impregnated ("wet out") with resin using
distribution rollers and vacuum to thoroughly saturate the
tube felt fiber prior to installation. The Contractor shall
allow the Owner's Representative to inspect the materials and
wet out procedure. A catalyst system compatible with the
resin and tube shall be used.
b. Insertion - The wet out tube shall be inserted through an
existing manhole or other approved access by means of an
inversion process and the application of a water column
sufficient to fully extend it to the next designated manhole to
manhole or termination point. The tube end shall initially be
turned inside out and attached to a platform ring or
standpipe. The inversion water column will be adjusted to be
of sufficient height to cause the impregnated tube to invert
from manhole-to-manhole and hold the tube tight against the
existing pipe wall, produce dimples at side connections, and
flared ends at the manholes.
CIPP Specs (cont.)
Page 4
e
e
., .
c. Curing - After the insertion is completed, the Contractor shall
supply a suitable heat source and water recirculation system
capable of delivering hot water uniformly throughout the
section to effect a consistent cure of the resin. The curing
temperature shall be that recommended by the resin/catalyst
system manufacturer. The heat source shall be fitted with
suitable monitors to gauge the temperature of the incoming
and outgoing water supply. Another such gauge shall be
placed between the impregnated tube and the invert of the
original pipe at the manhole(s) to determine the temperatures
during the resin curing process. Initial cure shall be
considered completed when the exposed portions of the CIPP
appear to be hard and the remote temperature sensing device
indicates the cure period to be of adequate duration as
recommended by the resin/catalyst system manufacturer and
modified for the inversion process.
d. Coo/-down - The Contractor shall coot the hardened CIPP to a
temperature below 100 degrees Fahrenheit before relieving the
water column. Cool water may be added to the water column
while draining hot water from a small hole at the opposite
end of the CIPP so that a constant water column height is
maintained until cool-down is completed. Care shall be taken
in the release of the water column so that a vacuum will not
be developed that could damage the newly installed CIPP.
e. Warranty - The finished CIPP shall be continuous over the
entire length of an inversion run and be as free as
commercially practicable from visual defects such as foreign
inclusions, dry spots, pinholes and delamination. It shall also
meet the leakage requirements or pressure test specified below.
During the warranty period any defects which will affect the
integrity or strength of the CIPP shall be repaired at the
Contractor's expense in a manner mutually agreed to by the
Owner and the Contractor.
10. Sealing at Manholes: If the CIPP fails to make a tight seal at a
manhole, the Contractor shall apply a seal at that point. The seal shall be
of a material compatible with the CIPP material.
11. Service Connections: After the CIPP has been cured in place, the
Contractor shall reopen the existing active service connections as designated
by the Owner's Representative. This shall generally be done without
excavation, and in the case of non-man entry pipe, from the interior of the
pipeline by means of a television camera and a cutting device that re-
establishes the- service connection to not less than 90% capacity.
12. Testing: The watertightness of the CIPP shall be gauged by
monitoring the water level in the inversion tube while curing. When
requested during the warranty period, the Contractor will provide to the
Owner a videotape showing the completed work including the condition of
the restored taps.

13. Clean-up: Upon acceptance of the installation work and testing,
the Contractor shall reinstate the project area affected by his operations.
14. Patents: The inversion process is patented and is installed by
licensed Contractors. The Contractor shall warrant to the Owner and his
Engineer that the methods, materials and equipment used herein, where
covered by license are furnished in accordance with such license and the
prices included in this proposal include applicable royalties and fees in

TO: JOHN JOERNS, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
FROM: STAN SHERWOOD, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
SUBJECT: SYLVAN BEACH PAVILION STORM DAMAGE
*****************************************************************
Susie Burgess, acting Human Resource Director, has informed me
that the storm insurance for the Sylvan Beach Pavilion is
$25,000.00 deductible. We have sustained damages at the Pavilion
of approximately $25,296.90.
The dance floor in the ballroom has incurred water damage as a
result of rain entering the building, when the Lexan panels were
blown out. There is a subfloor beneath the maple floor, the
subfloor is holding water and as the water evaporates it will
cause the maple to buckle. There is a possibility that the maple
floor may not buckle severely which will allow us to sand the
floor, thereby removing the ridges. If the floor does buckle
severely it may have to be replaced. The water damage incurred
by the dance floor has not been included in the damage cost
estimate.
The concession storage area, which is located on the deck, was
damaged to the extent that all of the glass and molding was
destroyed. Because the view from the storage area is not a
critical factor, the concessionaire had placed blinds behind the
glass to reduce the amount of solar heat. Since there are no
plans to utilize this area for anything other than storage space,
we would like to replace the glass with wood siding similar to
the siding located at the entrance of the pavilion. This would
not only reduce solar heat but it would also minimize the amount
of water that gets in the building during storms. Additionally,
shelves could be placed on the interior of the siding increasing
the storage space. Replacing the glass panels will cost
$3,850.00, whereas wood siding may be installed for $2,965.00.

We have bid this mower two ways:

2) Non-self contained unit (Turf mower)
The self contained unit (Turf Tractor) will save on wear and
tear of the green and tee slopes and tractors. Watson
Distributing (Jacobsen LF 100) meets all specifications, and
is low bid of the self contained units (Turf Tractor). The
non-self contained unit (Turf Mower) requires a tractor to
pull the unit around the slopes.

TEXAS AMATEUR ATHLETIC FEDERATION
The Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (TAAF) funded in 1925/ is
the governing body for amateur sports in the state of Texas. The
TAAF membership is comprised of some 145 local parks and
recreation departments statewide that conduct TAAF programs.
From its inception, TAAF has provided the rules and regulations
by which amateur athletic competition is governed in Texas.
Following the turn of the century, baseball teams from different
parts of the state adopted different rules to play by, thus
requiring a statewide "clearing house" for governing play.
Whether it be the distance between home plate and the pitchers
mound / the size 0 f ball/or even the number 0 f players / ~teams
from around the state utilized different rules and so TAAF became
an integral force in Texas amateur sports.
The TAAF has grown as amateur sports and the Olympic movement has
also prospered in the United States. From its Austin offices,
TAAF introduced the "Texas Games" in 1986, offering a sports
festival concept for ten sports. An estimated 8/000 athletes
participated in the Games/ hosted by the city of San Antonio and
the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department. The 1987 Texas
Games took place in Fort Worth with nearly 11/000 athletes
entering the 16 state championship event. The 1988 "Pepsi Games
of Texas" in Bryan/College Station entertained over 10,000
athletes and 25/000 spectators.
The Pepsi Games are one of some 30 "state game" competitions
conducted nationwide offering grassroot development programs on a
statewide level. Some 250,000 individuals are active in TAAF
programs throughout the state with the sports of softball,
swimming, and track and field being the most popular. The
objective of the Pepsi Games is to offer both the recreational
and competitive athlete the opportunity to vie for the
designation of "state champion".
The Pepsi Games of Texas was sponsored by Pepsi-Cola Bottling
Company/ took place in the La Porte/Gulf Coast region, with an
estimated 12,000 athletes competing in the 26 sports. Future
Pepsi Games are scheduled for Carroll ton/Farmers Branch in 1990
and Dallas in 1991.

*****************************************************************
The Press Conference was originally scheduled for Wednesday,
February 8, 1989 but was postponed due to an arctic cold front
that impacted the entire State of Texas. We reschedule for
Tuesday, February 21, 1989. This created two significant
situations, the first being a post-event press announcement for
the 10-K run, and the second being with the difficulty in media
attending as a result of this rescheduling.
All things considered, the 1989 Press Conference was the most
effective to date; with three (3) television, twenty-one (21)
print media and eleven (11) radio stations directly or indirectly
covering the event.

The Triathlon was conducted on Saturday, April 8, 1989 at La
Portes' Sylvan Beach. The event consisted of a 1K open water
swim in Galveston Bay, 30K out and back cycling course and
concluded with a 5M run through beautiful and historic Morgans
Point. The event went very well although our attendance was down
by over 200 participants. I attribute this fact solely to the
open water swim format, which was new for the event in 1989.

STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT REPORT
The Golf Tournament was held at La Porte's Bay Forest Golf Course
on Monday, July 31, 1989. This Tournament was scheduled as a two
(2) day event, but due to Hurricane Chantals projected landfall,
the decision was made to adjust the Tournament to a single round
format. Each participant was given a registration package from
Pepsi that included a variety of "goodies". Pepsi refreshments
were available to all participants and officials throughout the
tournament. The comments from players, coaches and family
pertaining to the organization of the tournament and the course
were most favorable.

The media exposure as well as the economic impact experienced by
the La Porte community far exceeds the minimal financial losses
the actual tournament incurred. Thanks to T.A.A.F. and Pepsi for
the opportunity to host this event.

1989 PEPSI GAMES OF TEXAS
STATE TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHI? REPORT
*****************************************************************
The Track and Field Meet was held at La Porte's High School
Stadium on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August third through
fifth, 1989. La Porte broke tradition and staged the 3000 meter
run on Thursday evening in order to make the run as comfortable
as possible for the athletes and to allow them adequate rest for
their other events on Friday and Saturday. This format was very
well received by both athletes and coaches. It also afforded us
time to expedite the other events on Friday and Saturday. Each
participant was given a registration package from Pepsi that
included a variety of "goodies" from local merchants. There were
a few glitches in the meet, but all considered the comments from
athletes, coaches and spectators were favorable and we are very
proud of our performance.
