$50,000); (3) Complete renovation of the San Jacinto street
swimming pool ($100,000); (4) Installation of handicap access
to five intersections on Main street ($50,000); (5) Cleaning
and clearing up of lots within the targeted North Side area.
The first four items were prioritized in the order given; item

this purpose.
Mr. Albrecht asked that, after public comment before the
Council, that Council establish priorities in order to give
direction to staff so that the application can be completed

Public comments were as follows: Councilman Deotis Gay,
speaking as a representative of the La Porte Community civic

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Block Grant Program is a Federal
Government Program that provides funds up to $250,000 for cities
similar to La Porte. Several requirements must be met by each
participating City which include public meetings, priortization of
request and submittal of the grant request.
The Planning & Zoning commission held a public meeting to hear
citizen input on proposed projects that will serve the targeted
Northside Area of La Porte.
The projects presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission by the
City staff and representatives of the Northside civic Club are as
follows:
1) Demolition of substandard structures - estimated cost
$50,000.
2) Replacement of the storm water drainage lines that are
located in Madison and Polk Streets extending from 6th
Street west under Hwy. 146 to Little Cedar Bayou -
estimated cost of drainage study and design - $50,000.00.
3) Complete renovation of the San Jacinto Municipal swimming
pool - estimated cost $100,000.00.
4) Installation of handicap access to 5 intersections on
Main Street - estimated cost $50,000.00.
5) Clearing and cleaning up of vacant lots wi thin the
Northside area.
The Planning & Zoning commission discussed each project and
assigned priorities as shown on the first four items in their
recommendation to the City Council. Item number five was omitted

Item number two needs to be discussed further because the estimated
total cost of the project is $600,000.00. Therefore, the project
will need to be broken down into more than one segment if it is to
be considered.
A complete drainage area study of existing conditions should be
done and then the proposed storm drainage system could be designed.
The actual construction of the two storm drainage lines could come
from future Block Grant applications. It is estimated that the
construction cost of each storm drainage line will be approximately
$275,000.00
The City Council will need to consider the recommendations from the
Commission, as well as other input that might be provided at their
meeting on December 10, 1990. The City Council will also need to
establish a priority rating to the proposed projects. Staff will
then prepare a grant request for submittal to the Harris County
Community Development Agency by January 4, 1991.
ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL:
Consider recommendations from the Commission, as well as other
input that might be provided and establish a priority rating to the
proposed projects.

HARRIS COUN1Y COMMUNIlY DEVEWPMENT AGENCY
1991 COMMUNIlY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROPOSAL GUIDELINES
I. BACKGROUND
A. Overview
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 established the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program to meet the needs of low and moderate income people. As a
result, Harris County created the Harris County Community Development Agency (HCCDA) to
implement its CDBG program. Since 1975, HCCDA has been awarding CDBG funds to local
government entities and non-profit organizations to provide basic community improvements and
services to residents in its service area. The HCCDA service area includes the unincorporated
portion of Harris County and those cities signing cooperative agreements with the County. (See
attached map of HCCDA service areas.) Houston, Pasadena and Baytown do not participate in
the County's CDBG program.
B. Funds Expected for FY '91
Harris County receives CDBG funds directly from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The allocation varies each year depending on availability of federal funds.
Approximately $5 million is expected to be received from HUD in FY '91. The average grant
amount in past years has been $250,000. Proposals significantly greater than this amount should, if
possible, be presented in phases that can be implemented over a period of years.
FY '91 CDBG funds are expected to be available September 1, 1991. Social service programs will
receive funds on a reimbursement basis for a one-year period.
II. GENERAL INFORMA nON
A. 1991 Statement of Obiectives
The three primary national objectives of the CDBG program are:
1) to benefit people with low and moderate incomes,
2) to aid in preventing or eliminating slums and blight; and
3) to meet other urgent community development needs.
Based on these objectives, HCCDA has developed local objectives to meet the needs of the
residents it serves. The objectives are:
1) To meet the most basic public works and housing needs of low and moderate
income people;
2) To encourage economic development and increased job opportunities; and
3) To stimulate social service demonstration programs that complement community
development objectives.
GUIDELINES
Page 2
e
e
It is the intent of HCCDA to improve the quality of life for low and moderate income service area
residents and to make the most effective use of CDBG funds.
B. Selected Target Areas and Cooperative Cities
Priority will be given to proposals received from or benefitting the residents of the target areas
and cooperative cities listed below. Proposals for communities not on this list will be accepted and
considered for funding after all selected area proposals have been evaluated.
Target Areas
Cooperative Cities
Aldine- Westfield
Barrett Station

Verde Forest
Galena Park
Jacinto City
Katy-Woodsland Park Area
La Porte-Northside
Missouri City - 5th Street Area
South Houston
Tomball-Blackshear Street Area
C. Types of Programs to be Funded
HCCDA awards a large portion of its CDBG funds for permanent infrastructure improvement
projects which meet such basic needs as providing clean water, adequate sewer systems and
decent, safe and sanitary housing. Projects which are essential elements of a long-term plan for a
comprehensive and coordinated neighborhood revitalization effort are highly encouraged and will
receive greater consideration. Community group endorsements for public improvement projects
should also be included in proposals.
Proposals with matching funds will be given greater consideration. Applicants are requested to
secure matching funds prior to submitting proposals and attach letters of commitment for such
funds. For joint proj~cts, letters of support from other agencies involved must accompany
proposals at the time they are submitted.
A small percent of funds are available for social service programs which provide services to low
and moderate income children and youth. HCCDA encourages proposals for juvenile delinquency
prevention, early childhood education or child day care programs, and child abuse prevention
programs. Matching funds are required unless funds are being requested for an innovative
demonstration program. Social service proposals mu:;t include a description of the sources and
amounts of matching funds. Joint projects which request CDBG funds to build model service
facilities for which other agencies provide operating funds are also a high priority.
GUIDELINES

e
D. Economic Devel09ment Proposals
HCCDA will consider proposals for economic development projects that create jobs for low and
moderate income people. Proposal guides for economic development projects are available by
request. Call Mark Mitchell at (713) 626-5651 for information.
E. ProlZCam Beneficiaries
1. Construction project:; must serve principally (51% or more) low and moderate income
residents, or elderly or disabled persons. Social service and housing (direct benefit)
projects must use CDBG funds only for the benefit of low and moderate income persons.
2. All facilities or improvements must be located in or near low and moderate income areas
served by HCCDA. (HCCDA funds cannot be used to serve residents of or fund projects
in Houston, Pasadena or Baytown).
3. If the purpose of the proposed project is to create permanent jobs for low and moderate
income persons, letters of commitment must be provided for specific jobs to be created or
retained for low and moderate income residents. At least 51 % of jobs created or retained
must benefit low and moderate income residents. (See II.D above)
4. HUD defines low and moderate income persons as those residents of a household whose
total annual income does not exceed 80 percent of the median family income for the area.
For Harris County, moderate income figures are as follows:
Persons in Household

III. Other Important Information
A. Land Acquisition
Public improvement pr;posals should have all necessary land acquisitions completed prior to
applying for CDBG funds. The acquisition of real property required for a federally-funded project
must comply with federal regulations. This requirement is in effect when property is to be
acquired after this application for CDBG funds is made, not merely when funds are awarded.
Applicants planning to acquire real property for a CDBG-funded project after applying for CDBG
funds are strongly encouraged to contact Marilynn Kindell at (713) 626-5651 prior to initiating the
acquisition process.
B. Disolacement
The permanent displacement of homeowners, tenants, businesses, non-profit organizations or
farms for CDBG-funded projects is discouraged. If permanent displacement is necessary, it must
".
GUIDELINES
Page 4
e
e
comply with federal regulations. Applicants anticipating permanent displacement must include
this information in their proposal to HCCDA.
C. Project Desilm and Construction Management Responsibility
HCCDA will provide architectural and engineering design services and manage all phases of
physical projects from design through completion of construction. If the applicant desires to fund
the design of the project using its own qualified staff or an HCCDA-approved consultant, this is
acceptable. All CDBG-fu~ded design will be performed by HCCDA, unless unforeseen
circumstances occur.
D. Limitation on Relilrious On!:anizations
In keeping with the Constitutional principle of the First Amendment, certain limitations are placed
on religious organizations receiving CDBG funds. Federal funds cannot be used for religious
purposes; therefore, CDBG funds cannot be used to renovate, rehabilitate or convert buildings
owned primarily by religious organizations, if the facility will be used for religious purposes.
Religious organizations may, however, use CDBG funds for facilities, programs and activities if
the facility is not used for religious purposes and if such programs and activities are carried out in
a manner free from religious influences.
E. Limitation on Use of CDBG Funded Facilities
Facilities constructed with CDBG funds must be used for their intended purposes as described in
the proposal for a period of time to be specified in a contract with Harris County. If the facility is
proposed to be used for other purposes prior to the end of the specified period, approval must
first be obtained from HCCDA.

TO:
Robert T. Herrera, City Manager
THRU:
John Joerns, Assistant City Manager
FROM:
Joel H. Albrecht, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT:
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FY 1991
The Community Development Block Grant Program is a Federal
Government Program that provides funds up to $250,000 for cities
similar to La Porte. There are several requirements that must be
met by each participating City including public meetings,
priortization of requests, submittal of grant request.
The Planning & Zoning commission held a public meeting to obtain
citizen input on proposed projects that will serve the targeted
Northside Area of La Porte.
The projects presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission by the
City staff and representatives of the Northside Civic Club are as
follows:
1) Demolition of substandard structures - estimated cost
$50,000.
2) Replacement of the storm water drainage lines that are
located in Madison and Polk Streets extending from 6th
Street west under Hwy. 146 to Little Cedar Bayou -
estimated cost of drainage study and design - $50,000.00.
3) Complete renovation of the San Jacinto Municipal swimming
pool - estimated cost $100,000.00.
4) Installation of handicap access to 5 intersections on
Main Street - estimated cost $50,000.00.
5) Clearing and cleaning up of vacant lots within the
Northside area.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed each project and
assigned priorities as shown on the first four items in their
recommendation to the City Council. Item number five was omitted
because the Block Grant Funds can not be used for this type of
project.
e
e
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FY 1991
PAGE 2 OF 2
Item number two needs to be discussed further because the estimated
total cost of the project is $600,000.00. Therefore, the project
will need to be broken down into more than one segment if it is to
be considered.
A complete drainage area study of existing conditions should be
done and then the proposed storm drainage system could be designed.
The actual construction of the two storm drainage lines could come
from future Block Grant applications. It is estimated that the
construction cost of each storm drainage line will be approximately
$275,000.00
The City Council will need to consider the recommendations from the
Commission, as well as other input that might be provided at their
meeting on December 10, 1990. The City Council will also need to
establish a priority rating to the proposed projects. Staff will
then prepare a grant request for submittal to the Harris County
Community Development Agency by January 4, 1991.

final determination. However, the proposed ordinance contains language
allowing the City of La. Porte to participate with other cities in the
Coalition of Cities in an effort to negotiate a settlement of the issues.

The Honorable Norman Malone
City of La Porte
P. O. Box 1115
La Porte, Texas 77571
Dear Mayor Malone:
On Friday, November 9, 1990 our Company filed with your City a request
to implement the final two steps of a three-step rate moderation plan,
first initiated in November, 1988, which would allow us to recover the
costs to construct new power plants to support our fuel diversification
program, as well as other changes in our cost of service.
As in the past, the City has 35 days in which to take action, or the
rates will go into effect on December 17, 1990. The two alternatives
available to the City are to Suspend or Deny the application filed.
It is recognized that a number of our district cities joined the
Coalition of Cities and would be hesitant to deny the application if such
action would be a detriment to their participation in the coalition's
effort to negotiate a settlement of the issues, while a suspension would
require future action be taken by the City at the end of the 90 day
suspension period.
To aid you in your decision, our Company has prepared a sample
ordinance that denies the Application, but which includes language that
indicates ".. . the City is desirous of assuring that it will have the
opportunity to continue to review the Company's case in an effort to
negotiate a settlment of all issues before the Public Utility Commis-
sion.. .". It is felt this is the preferred route to be taken by your City.
Also attached for your review is a sample suspension resolution that
may be utilized, if this is your desire.
If you have any questions on this matter, I will be glad to
discuss them with you, at your convenience.

Hon. Mayor & City Council

La Porte, Texas
Gentlemen:
By federal law, the u.s. Census Bureau is required to publish final
census results for each State by December 31, 1990, and for each
political subdivision of the State, by census tract, by April 1,
1991.
Under the Federal Voting Rights Act, and Article II of the Home Rule
Charter of the City of La Porte, the population of each council
district must be determined, and, if the distribution of population
among the various council districts is materially unbalanced, as
reflected by the 1990 Federal Census, City Council must establish
new boundaries for the election of district Councilpersons.
In the past, City Council has appointed a citizens committee to make
the investigations, hold public hearings, and thereafter recommend
new council district boundaries to City Council. Under the Federal
Voting Rights Act, such a committee should fairly reflect the ethnic
and racial makeup of the City of La Porte among its membership.
I recommend that the attached ordinance be passed by City Council
appointing a resident from each council district to the committee,
with the other three members of the committee and two alternate
members to be appointed from the City at large.

Ordinance No. 1587-B, Changes for Bay Forest Rate Structure
On October 30, 1990 we visited about Senior citizen golf car rates. I think your
recommendation to keep the old rate of $14.00 per 18 holes and $8.00 per 9 holes in effect
for resident Senior citizens is appropriate.
This rate would correspond with the Senior citizens rate (age, day and time) set by
Ordinance No. 1587. Also this discount would only be available for residents of the City
of La Porte.
As for the other items discussed on this day, I feel we should leave alone at this time. The
golf course staff will manage these areas in order to accomplish our goals.

Bay Forest Golf Course Rates
On October 22, 1990, the Council increased cart rental rates at the golf course
to go into effect January 1, 1991.
In our meeting, Council showed concern about increasing the cart rental rates
for seniors. I explained at that time we would not consider increasing the fee
seniors would pay until further study.
I am happy to report that no increase is proposed by staff for La Porte seniors.
Staff proposes the cart rental rate for seniors remain the same as adopted in
Ordinance No. 1587, which was the first ordinance the City adopted establishing
rates for the golf course.
SENIORS RATES
Golf Cart:
$5.50/Senior rate (Senior Citizens, City of La Porte

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
On November 19, 1990, Arkla Exploration Company submitted an
application to drill a gas well with a surface location in Outlot
348, which is located east of the Exxon pipeline corridor and north
of Avenue "P".
All requirements of La Porte's oil and Gas Ordinance No. 1659 and
1659-A have been met except for Section 16-4(2), which requires the
drill site to be at least 750 feet from any residence or commercial
building without the applicant receiving written permission from
the owners of the affected properties. Arkla secured the waivers
from the affected property owners.
Access to the drill site is from the old La Porte Highway then
through the Hickham Industries property. This will keep the heavy
traffic off Sens Road and "P" Street.
Staff has reviewed the application and find every thing in order.
Action Required by Council:
Approve the application for a gas well drilling permit for Arkla
Exploration Company with a surface location on Outlot 348.

Attention: Mr. Joel Albrecht
Director of

Re: Lomax Gas Unit No.1, Well
No.1; Clear Lake Prospect
Harris County, Texas
Gentlemen:
As you are aware, Ark1a Exploration Company (ARK) is proposing to
drill the Lomax Gas Unit No.1, Well No. 1 at a surface location
150' FSL and 175' FEL of Outlot 348, Enoch Brinson Survey, A-5,
Harris County, Texas, with the proposed bottom hole location being
10' FNL and 250' FEL of Outlot 391, Enoch Brinson Survey, A-5,
Harris county, Texas. From an operational standpoint, ARK would
have preferred drilling a straight hole but, due to the bottom hole
location falling within the Greenda1e Subdivision, an alternate
surface location was necessary. (Section 16-4[1] of Ordinance No.
1659 prohibits the drilling of a well in recorded subdivisions
which have homesites the size of one [1] acre or less.)
ARK chose Outlot 348 as the surface location for several reasons.
First, an aerial photo indicated there were no structures
(residences, commercial buildings, et cetera) located in Out1ots
333, 334, 347 or 348. The lack of existing structures was
important in order to minimize any impact that drilling operations
might have on nearby residents and for purposes of complying with
section 16-4[2] of Ordinance No. 1659. Second, by choosing Outlot
348 as the surface location, ARK could gain access to the location
by using the Old LaPorte Highway (now owned by Hickham Industries,
Inc.), parallel to and south of State Highway 225. The alternative
would have been North P Street, a more traveled thoroughfare used
mainly for residential traffic.
Once the surface location for the Lomax Gas Unit No.1, Well No. 1
was selected, ARK realized said well was located within 750' of
four [4] residences in Ike's Addition (the nearest residence being
577.2' from the surface location) and one [1] commercial building
associated with Hickham Industries, Inc. ARK attempted to find an
alternative location which would satisfy the requirements of
section 16-4 [2] . However, due to the existence of the Humble
Pipeline Corridor to the west, the residences on North P Street to
5100 WESTHEIMER, SUITE 400 . HOUSTON, TEXAS 77056.5507 . (713) 623.5000
e
e
the south, Ike's Addition to the east and Hickham Industries to the
north, a different surface location would have resulted in
additional residences falling within a 750' radius of the surface
location.
ARK has obtained executed Agreements from all affected owners
located within 750' of the surface location, as required under
section 16-4[2] and is hereby providing you with copies of same.
ARK has attempted in good faith to choose a surface location which
will have minimum impact on the citizens of LaPorte, Texas. It is
hoped that ARK's request for a new well permit will be approved by
the City Council of the City of LaPorte, Texas.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
110 ~. ~

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
=================================================================
Agenda Date Requested:
Report
Community Development
Requested By: Joel Albrech
Resolution
x
Ordinance
Exhibits:
1) Map of requested closures
2) Letter from Port of Houston Authority
3) Staff Review
=================================================================
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The City Council, on March 26, 1990 approved city Ordinance No.
1694 which closed and abandoned the alleys in Block 432 and 433.
Also closed were portions of Utah, Kansas, E. Madison and E. Tyler
streets. Ordinance No. 1694 was to go into effect when certain
conditions were met. That included the rerouting of an eight inch
(8") waterline from E. Madison street to North "E" Street, purchase
of the Southern Pacific Railroad property and providing of an
easement to the City of La Porte for the benefit of Houston Light
& Power (HL&P) to cover an existing HL&P transmission line.
Since the passage of Ordinance 1694, Idaho Street between E.
Madison & North "E" Streets and North "E" st. extending 185 feet
east from the western right-of-way line of Kansas Street have been
added to the request from International Cargo Network (ICN) for
closing. The Port of Houston Authority declined selling a portion
of their property, but did agree in writing to the closing and to
assist ICN and the CIty in this endeavor.
All conditions have been met~IcN with the exception of it's land
purchase from Southern Pacific Railroad. A question of ownership
on the 185 foot long section of E. Tyler and North "E" Street has
been raised by Southern Pacific Railroad. 1Ehe total land area in
question is 22,200 sq. ft. All parties involved are recommending
that the ownership of the land in dispute should be divided equally
between the City of La Porte and Southern Pacific Railroad. The
attached Ordinance #1694-A reflects this concept.
Ordinance 1694-A closes and vacates North "E", E. Tyler & E.
Madison street extending 185 feet east from the eastern right-of-
way of Kansas street, Kansas street from the northern right-of-way
line of Adams Street to the southern right-of-way line of North "E"
Street Utah and Idaho Streets between North "E", and E. Madison
Streets and the alleys in Block 432 & 433, Town of La Porte.
All franchise utilities have been notified and have no objections
to the request of ICN. The total land to be quitclaimed per ICN' s
request is 122,700 sq. ft. Harris county Appraisal District has
appraised the land to have a fair market value of $1.25 per sq. ft.
Therefore, per out Ordinance No. 1550 the land would be quit
claimed by the City of La Porte to ICN with a value of
$1.875/sq.ft. for a total value of $230,062.50.
e
e
Agenda Request
Page 2 of 2
staff recommends the request to be approved subject to the
following:
(1) A written consent from the Port of Houston Authority for
property abutting the closure.
(2) ICN providing the City of La Porte with a sixteen foot
(16') easement for the eight inch (8") relocated
waterline in Kansas and E. Madison street.
(3) ICN providing the City of La Porte with a sixteen foot
(16') easement for the ten inch (lO") waterline located
in Idaho street.
These two water line easements are retained by the City in the
Ordinance.
Action Required by Council:
Approve the request from International Cargo Network subject to
certain easements for water lines being provided to the City and
receiving a payment of $230,062.50 for closing and abandoning
streets and alleys outlined in Ordinance No. 1694-A

Re: Street and alley closures by the City of La Porte at
the request of International Cargo Network, L. P.
("ICN").
Dear Mr. Herrera:
Please be advised that the Port of Houston Authority, as
the owner of Lots 17 through 32 in Block 433 and Lots 1
through 16 in Block 438 of the City of La Porte, agrees to
join with ICN and the City of La Porte in closing certain
adj oining streets and alleys you have been requested to
close by ICN.
We believe that the streets and alleys for which our
consent and agreement may be required are (i) a portion of
North E Street between Blocks 433 and 438, (ii) the alley
which divides Block 433, (iii) a portion of Utah Avenue
between Blocks 433 and 432, and (iv) to the extent you
believe our consent necessary, a portion of Madison Street
between Blocks 420 and 433. As I mentioned above, the
Port of Houston Authority, as an adjoining property,
agrees to execute and deliver such documents as may be
reasonable and necessary to effect the closure by the City
of La Porte of the streets and alleys mentioned in items
(i) through (iv) above. ICN has agreed to pay such costs
and expenses as may be levied by the City of La Porte in
connection with such street and alley closures and this
letter should not be interpreted as an agreement by the
Port of Houston Authority to pay any such costs.
Please contact the undersigned with any questions or
comments you may have regarding the foregoing.
Very truly yours,

After questioning several golf course superintendents in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and
Northeast Texas, the majority stated they received excellent results using a polypropylene
turf cover as protection from winter kill on their bermuda grass greens during last winters
severe weather.
The superintendents stated that the polypropylene turf cover was east to handle and dried
quickly after being wet, which results in an earlier removal from the putting surfaces after
temperatures rise above freezing, thereby allowing players back on the golf course.

Instructions for Use:
1.
Use established management practices for your area-including
insect and disease control methods-before installing the
blankets. Because the growth period is extended, excellent
take-up of systemic pesticides has been reported.
NOTE: Check under blankets periodically for evidence of disease
or damage.
2.
After rolling the blanket out, pin every 3 feet with /lU" shaped #9
wire pins or long large-head nails. Fold the edges over about 2
inches so the pins go through two layers (except at overlaps-clo
not fold).
NOTE: In especially windy areas, place #3 Rebar (%" steel rein-
forcement rod) around the perimeter. Fold the blanket over the
Rebar and pin. Also run a line of pins down the middle of the
blanket to prevent excessive flapping.
3 Application of wetting agent: spray a commercial turf wetting
agent* directly onto the blanket the first time you water. Only
,'!,: Jhisfirst application is needed. If this is not done, a portion of the
water will run off the blanket, particularly if it is on a steep slope.
~ \ .
4.
Mowing: Typar@ Turf Blankets stimulate a very rapid rate of
growth. When Spring green-up occurs, mow only V3 of the new
growth at a time, or else set-back can happen. If additional cold
spells are anticipated, blankets can be put back. This is an
advantage versus straw, sand, et~., where re-covering is not
feasible.
5. Storage: roll the blankets up and store them out of the sun. With
proper care, Typar@ Turf Blankets will give several years' service.
*Use 1-2 oz./l,OOO sq. ft. diluted in 3-4 gallons of water. Recommend
"Aqua-Gro" (Aquatrols Corp., Pennsauken, NJ) or equivalent.

Amendment to Lease Agreement
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
On December 12, 1988, the City Council approved an amendment to the lease
held by cliff Hyde Flying Service, Inc. that extends an option, in the form
of a right of first refusal, for forty five (45) tie-downs and the one
hundred feet by one hundred feet (100' x 100') tract shown on exhibit A, as
a combined additional lease tract, until December 31, 1989, renewable until
December 31, 1990. A five hundred dollar ($500.00) option fee was paid for
the two (2) year option. Cliff Hyde Flying Service exercised its option to
renew in December 1989.
The Airport Advisory Board, 1n conjunction with Council Approval,
authorized the firm of Coffman Associates to conduct an Airport Master Plan
Update in June 1990. The Phase One report was presented to the Board on
November 28, 1990, with the phase Two report due in February 1991. Because
the Master plan will impact the location of future facilities planned by
Cliff Hyde Flying Service, an extension on the option described above has
been requested for one (1) year, expiring December 31, 1991. Cliff Hyde
Flying Service has offered two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) for the
additional one (1) year option.
Action Required by Council: Approve the extension of the option described
in the Lease Amendment approved December 12, 1988 between the City of La
Porte and Cliff Hyde Flying Service, Inc. for one (1) year, exp1r1ng
December 31, 1990, for two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00).

an access road, as shown in red on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, to
access the 45 tie-downs, in the event that Lessee exercises its
option to lease the 45 tie-downs and the 100'x 100' tract.
Provided, however, City reserves the right to remove the road shown
in red on Exhibit wAw attached hereto, should the City in the future

continued access for ingress and egress from the 24 tie-downs to the
45 tie-downs, shall be kept and maintained by City.
VI.
City agrees to lease to Lessee, from the effective date of the
exercise of option by Lessee, for a term expiring July 6, 1997, the

subject to a service charge of one percent (1%) per month, based on
an annual rate of twelve percent (12%).
VIII.
Without prejudice to any other remedy which otherwise might be
used for arrears of rent or other breach of this Agreement, if the
Lessor is required or it elects to pay any sum or incurs any
obligations or expense, by reason of a failure, neglect or refusal
of the Lessee to perform anyone or more of the terms, conditions or
covenants of this Agreement and Lease or as the result of any act or
omission of Lessee contrary to said terms, conditions and covenants,
the sum or sums so paid or the expense so incurred, including all
interest, costs, damages and penalties may be added to any
installment of rent thereafter due hereunder and each and every part
of the same shall be and become additional rent recoverable by the
Lessor in the same manner and with like remedies as if it were
originally a part of the rent as set forth hereinabove.
IX.
Except as expresse1y amended hereby, and as previously amended,
the Lease between the parties dated July 6, 1956, and subsequent
amendments thereto, shall remain in full force and effect.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Sealed bid #0415 for a Police vehicle was opened at City Hall,
November 19, 1990. Bid requests were mailed to four Rental Car
Companies with only one responding.
The city's criminal Investigations Division has had good success
in purchasing rental vehicles for its under cover work. Please
recall the decision to purchase rental vehicles is one of design
and not one for budgetary reasons.
Hertz responded with nine different vehicles, none of which met
specifications. We went back to Hertz today and found a vehicle
meeting specifications, a Ford T-Bird with 21,325 miles, at the
price budgeted of $11,000. This vehicle will replace unit #56-04,
a 1980 Chevrolet.
Action Required by Council:
Approval of the purchase of vehicle specified. 1990 T-Bird in the

The Honorable Norman L. Malone
Mayor, City of La Porte
P.O.Box1115
La Porte, TX 77572-1115
Dear Mayor Malone:
The board of directors of the Harris County Appraisal District is responsible for the
appointment of individuals to serve on the appraisal review board.
Sec. 6.41, Texas Tax Code, authorizes an appraisal district with a population of at
least 1.5 million to increase the size of its ARB to include up to 45 regular members.
The section further requires that staggered terms must be created so that, in this
district with 45 members, 22 positions are to be filled by appointment or
reappointment in 1991.
Our board of directors would appreciate any recommendations you may have
regarding individuals potentially interested in serving on the appraisal review board.
We would prefer candidates with some knowledge of property valuation and real
estate, or some previous review board or board of equalization experience. Other
recommended candidates will be considered, of course. Perhaps the most important
qualification for any review board member is an attitude of fairness and his or her
willingness to devote sufficient time to the responsibilities. There will be several
organizational meetings, a lengthy orientation, and hearings that could take several
months of full-time participation. Members are entitled to per diem as set by the
appraisal district budget. Currently, the maximum per diem is $150.
Requirements for serving on the board include being a current resident of the
district and having resided in the district for at least two years. Officers or employees
of a taxing unit, the appraisal district, or the State Property Tax Board are not
eligible to serve. Also ineligible are persons who have served all or part of three
previous ARB terms.
Sec. 6.412, Tax Code, prohibits an ARB member from serving if related to a person
who operates for compensation as a tax agent operating in the appraisal district, or
an appraiser operating in or employed by the appraisal district. Relatives included
are those within the second degree by consanguinity (blood) or affinity (marriage).
These persons include: Spouse, children, brothers and sisters, parents, grandparents,
grandchildren, aunts and uncles, and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. The
spouse's relatives in the same degree are included.
e
e
ARB Recommendations
November 28, 1990
Page 2
See. 6.413, Tax Code, prohibits a person who contracts with the appraisal district for
any purpose from serving on the ARB, as well as a person who contracts on a tax-
related matter with a taxing unit served by the appraisal district. A person who has a
substantial interest in a business that has either type of contract is also barred.
Substantial interest is defined as either: (1) Combined ownership by the person and
his spouse of at least 10 percent of the voting stock or shares of the business, or (2)
service by the individual or a spouse as a partner, limited partner, or officer in the
business entity.
Sec. 6.413 also bars the appraisal district from entering into a contract with a current
ARB member or with a business entity in which the member has a substantial
interest. Additionally, taxing units are barred from making a tax-related contract
with a member of the ARB or a business entity in which the member has a substantial
interest.
Please consult members of your governing body and administrative staff and if you
have recommendations please submit them to Board of Directors, Harris County
Appraisal District, Attn: Margie Hilliard, P. O. Box 920975, Houston, Texas 77292-
0975. If available, attach a resume for each individual.
In order that we may review all candidates, please submit your recommendations by
January 11, 1991. Recommendations received after that date will not be considered
for the initial appointments.
Thank you for your assistance in this important responsibility. If you have questions,
please contact Jim Robinson, chief appraiser, at 957-5291.
Sincerely,
~~,~

Administrative Floating Holiday
During our summer budget workshop, Council directed staff to look into the
concept of offering a floating holiday that could be interchanged with Martin
Luther King Day. The best hol iday which met with the recommendation of a
floating holiday was Presidents' Day.
In several discussions with managers.of the City, staff drew the conclusion that
due to the size of our work force and the services we provide, a floating holiday
would cause operational as well as organizational conflicts.
Therefore, I have asked all City employees to vote for their preferred date and
agreed that the voice of democracy would enact this years holiday between Martin
Luther King Day or Presidents' Day.
I hope Council understands that this task is more complex than we all anticipated
and if pursued would cost additional tax dollars. It is my recommendation that
we honor the results of this year's ballot (Presidents' Day). Should Council
wi sh to pursue observi ng Martin Luther Ki ng Day, I recommend that Counci 1
establish a policy rotating Martin Luther King Day and Presidents' Day yearly.
A total of 296 ballots were distributed with payroll checks on November 30, 1990.
185 were returned with the following breakdown:
149 For Presidents' Day
36 For Martin Luther King Day
If additional details are needed, please advise.

SUBJECT:
HOLIDAYS
This is in response to ~he discussions a~ Executive Staff
meetings concerning "Floating Holidays".
We feel that allowing ~he individual employee to choose
between President's Day and Martin Luther King's Birthday, each
year, could impact the level of service for the City of La Porte.
If half the employees chose one day and all the supervisor's
chose the other day, it would severely weaken the work force.
Also, there stands a chance that by allowing shift
personnel to choose holidays each year, they could work it so
they would work on holidays to get more overtime. This increase
was not budgeted for in our budget.
We feel we should prepare a simple ballot to allOW the
employees to select which of the two days the City will observe.
As an example, the La Porte School District observes
Martin Luther King's Birthday, and we observe President's Day.
Those employees with school age children would probably like to
be off the same time as their children.
The ballots could be sent out in the pay checks, and
returned the following week to their supervisors. This will allow
the majority to decide.

Martin Luther King Day
;J
Last month you asked for staffs comments relating to giving the employees the option of
taking a floating holiday on All President's Day or Martin Luther King Day.
I discussed your question with my division heads and we are in unanimous agreement. We
recommend that we only celebrate All President's Day or if we must have Martin Luther
King Day, we should have both as a holiday.
Our reasoning is based on the fact that all Community Development personnel would want
to choose All President's Day as their choice, but since the City would be operating on both
days, we would need to deny some of the requests for All President's Day and force Martin
Luther King Day upon them. Some office personnel would need to be here on both days.
Again, we recommend no change as our first choice, or both days as our second choice.
