Underwood Road to serve a 9.26 acre tract of land in Deer
Park, Texas.
Motion was made bY Councilperson Porter to approve the utility
extension across Underwood Road. Second by Councilperson

sewer line without permission from the city. This has caused
an overload on the existing line. Another business wishes to
tie in to the overloaded line. A six-inch line would
alleviate the problem. Several Councilpersons felt that since
there are citizens in La Porte who still do not have sewer
service, and since the businesses are located in Deer Park,
the problem needs to be addressed by Deer Park.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Summary:
The Dangerous Buildings Board of Inspections on February 12,
1990, made a presentation to City Council regarding thirteen (13)
substandard buildings. At the close of this presentation, the
Board requested and received authorization from Council to
proceed with a condemnation hearing for each of the structures
being considered.
structures are condemned by passage of an ordinance. A
separate ordinance is required for each structure being
condemned. The purpose of the condemnation hearing, which is
required by Dangerous Building Ordinance 1145, is to allow owners
of the building being considered, owners of neighboring property
and other concerned citizens to present arguments as to why
buildings should or should not be condemned and demolished.
At the close of the condemnation hearing, council will
consider passage of each of the thirteen (13) condemnation
ordinances. Numbers have not yet been assigned so as to avoid
future confusion with the ordinance numbering sequence should all
of these ordinances not be approved. The City Secretary will
assign numbers as ordinances are being considered for approval.
Options:
At close of Public Hearing:
1) Pass ordinance condemning building (each building
to be considered separately).
2) Table ordinance for 120 days to allow owner time
to make required repairs.
3) Vote against ordinance passage. Failure to pass
or table ordinance effectively ends proceedings
against a building.
Action Required by Council:
1. Hold condemnation (public) hearing to receive public
input regarding buildings being considered.
2. At close of hearing consider whether or not to condemn
each structure by calling for a vote to consider
approval of each condemnation ordinance.

citizens of the City of La Porte.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE nOl\RD OF INSPECTION:
It is the opinion of this Inspection Board, after using City' of
La Porte Ordinance #1532 (Standard Housi~g Code, 1985 Edition) as
its guide in making the inspection, that this building, is'in fact
dangerous, not repairable, and should be demolished. This bUllding
does not provide the basic minimum housing standards deemed essential
for safe and healthful living for a residential occupancy and is a
threat to public safety, health, and the general welfare of the
citizens of the City of La Porte.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The City of La Porte has received a request from International
Cargo Network (ICN) to close the following streets and alleys:
1) Entire 16' by 400' alley in Blocks 416, 417, 418,419,
432, 433, 434 and 435, Town of La Porte.
2) Tyler Street from the east right-of-way of North Broadway
to the west line of the alley in Blocks 425 and 420.
3) Madison Street from the east right-of-way of North
Broadway to the west line of the alley in Blocks 420 and
433.
4) Iowa street from the north right-of-way of Adams Street
to the south right-of-way of North "E" Street.
5) Kansas Street from the north right-of-way of Adams Street
to the south right-of-way of North "E" Street.
6) Utah Street from the north right-of-way of Madison Street
to the south right-of-way of North "E" Street.
Staff has contacted all utility companies and none were opposed to
the closings. An 8" water line currently located on Madison will
need to be relocated at ICN's expense. Staff has monitored this
request with Ordinance No. 1550. ICN has met all the requirements.
The cost is based on HCAD Prime Rate of $1.25 per square foot and
was calculated as follows:
streets - 223,180 sq. ft. x 1.25 x 1.5 =
Alleys 51,200 sq. ft. x 1.25 x 1.5 =
Total
$ 418,462.50
$ 96,000.00
$ 514,462.50
staff suggests closing the streets and alleys contingent upon ICN
closing the purchase of all property on or before April 16, 1990.
Action Required by council:
1) Approve street and alley closing
2) Deny request
3) Table request for further study

Dear Ms. Black
International Cargo Network has requested that the City of La
Porte close and abandon certain streets and alleys as further described
in your correspondence of August 16, 1989, a copy of which is attached.
Our Company has investigated this request and it has been
determined that we currently have facilities located within the area to
be abandoned. However, the customer has agreed to sign our standard
form easement instrument granting us the necessary ground and aerial
easement rights at such time as he has acquired all of the necessary
property rights for his project.
To expedite the customer's request for street and alley closure,
our Company will interpose no objections to the City closing and
abandoning the subject area, providing that the City retains easement
rights in their closure ordinance for our existing transmission and
distribution facilities that are currently in place within the area
shown on the attached engineering work sketch.
If we may be of any further assistance in this matter, please
advise.

Dear Joel:
International Cargo Network agrees to grant the City of La Porte an
easement for the 8 inch water line on Madison Street. We intend to move
the water line at our expense and will grant the City of La Porte an
easement for the rerouting of the line.
If you have any questions, please call me. It is critical that

the Southern Pacific railroad easement after the March 12 City Council
meeting.

Dear Mr. Herrera:
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this engagement letter confinning the arrangements to
audit the financial statements of the City of La Porte, Texas (the City) as of and for the year
ended September 30, 1989 and the year ending September 30, 1990.
Peat Marwick Main & Co. (KPMG Peat Marwick) will conduct the audit in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards with the objective of expressing an unqualified opinion
on the City's financial statements as of September 30, 1989 and 1990. In conducting our
examination, we will perform tests of the accounting records and such other procedures as we
consider necessary in the circumstances to form our opinion on the financial statements. We
understand that all records, documentation, and information we request in connection with our
audit will be made available to us and that we will have the full cooperation of your employees.
It should be understood that management of the City has responsibility for the financial
statements and all representations contained therein. Management of the City is also
responsible for the implementation of the system of internal controls and record keeping
established to maintain the reliability of its financial statements and records. Our audit
examination will not necessarily disclose all errors or weaknesses in internal controls and
records should any exist. Even a material misstatement or weakness may remain undetected by
an audit performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Based on our experience, discussions with and representations made by the City, our audit fees
will be $17,250 plus out-of-pocket expenses (not to exceed 17% of fees) such as travel,
telephone, postage, and financial statements preparation for each of the years in the two-year
period ending September 30, 1990.

Our fees for services related to other special or nonrecurring matters during the year will be
billed based upon our standard billing rates for the professional hours involved. Where
possible, we will endeavor to advise you as to the estimated cost for such matters.
Any fee set forth herein as well as future invoices hereunder may reflect a discount from
KPMG Peat Marwick's full billing rates. In the event any payment for such services is not in
accordance with the agreed payment terms the City shall, without the necessity of any further
action on the part of KPMG Peat Marwick, forfeit the right to receive any such discounts and
shall be obligated to pay KPMG Peat Marwick for all services rendered hereunder, either
before or after such forfeiture, at KPMG Peat Marwick's full billing rates. KPMG Peat
Marwick's full billing rates for this engagement may be obtained through written request to the
undersigned. Discounts are not given for out-of-pocket costs and expenses.
KPMG Peat Marwick will receive payment for services rendered and expenses incurred within
30 days of invoice date. Any invoice(s) not paid as specified shall bear interest from its due
date at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate specified by applicable usury law,
whichever is less. In the event any invoice is not timely paid as set forth herein, then upon five
days prior written notice to the City, KPMG Peat Marwick may terminate its performance
hereunder.
We anticipate that similar services to those described herein or other special services such as
management consulting, may be required of KPMG Peat Marwick in subsequent years. For
your convenience, and ours, we may decide that separate engagement letters for such services
are not necessary. It is understood that the provisions in this letter relative to any and all of our
services, fees and expenses are applicable to all future services provided to the City unless
otherwise agreed in writing between us.
If this contract is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection of any sums due hereunder or
suit is brought on same, or sums due hereunder are collected through bankruptcy or probate
proceedings, then the City agrees that there shall be added to the amount due hereunder,
reasonable attorney's fees and costs and it is agreed that reasonable attorney's fees shall be not
less than 25% of the full amount due and owing to KPMG Peat Marwick.
If any portion of this engagement letter is determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any
reason, the remaining portions hereof shall continue to be in full force and effect as if such
invalid or unenforceable portion had never been included herein.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Summarv
This request is to approve a 6" sanitary sewer line crossing
Underwood Road approximately 500' north of North "L" Street.
The City of Deer Park does not have any sanitary sewer lines
extending across the willow springs Di tch to the eastern city
limits line. Because of no available sewer lines within Deer Park,
the City of Lomax, several years ago, extended a 4" sanitary sewer
line across Underwood Road at North "L" Street to serve a business
that was located in the City of Deer Park. Since that time several
other businesses have tied onto the sanitary sewer line without
obtaining approval from either the City of Lomax or the City of La
Porte. The additional tie-ins to the 4" sewer lines have created
an over-loading condition.
In December 1989, Mr. Abbott, a developer of a 9.26 acre tract of
land located in Deer Park fronting Underwood Road, requested
permission to connect another business to the 4" sanitary sewer
line. The City staff has taken the opportunity to solve the over-
loaded sewer condi tion and has requested that all development
within the 9.26 acre tract be removed from the 4" line and be
connected to a new 6" line crossing Underwood Road approximately
500 feet north of North "L" Street.
All of the requirements for the extension of utilities outside the
city limits have been met including Harris County approval of the
plans for the sanitary sewer line crossing Underwood Road. City
Council approval is needed to proceed with the project.
Staff recommends approval of the sanitary sewer extension into Deer
Park to serve the 9.26 acres as requested.
Action Required by Council:
Approval of the utility extension across Underwood Road to serve
9.26 acre tract of land in Deer Park, Texas.

RE: Sanitary Sewer Extension
CLP No. 90-7101
Dear Mr. Wenzel:
We are proceeding with the necessary paperwork required in the above
referenced request.
The occupant of the new building to be serviced by the sewer extension
is being evicted from the Texas State Highway Dept. property located at the
intersection of Highway 225 and Battleground Road. We are making every
effort to complete the facility ready for his occupancy by no later than
February 28, 1990.
It is unlikely that we will be able to complete the assembly of all of
the necessary submittal data, execute the normal review and approval
process and complete the installation of the line within the time
remaining.
We therefore, respectfully request that we be permitted to connect the
sewer line from the new facility to the existing. 4" sewer main temporarily,
until such time as the new 6" sewer line is installed.
We do fully intend to complete the installation of the 6" line just as
quickly as we can, in fact we will not be able to complete the exterior
paving and approach until such time as the line is completed.
Please advise of your response to our request as quickly as possible
so that we may advise the on-site contractor.
Respectfully requested,
