Malone, Mayor ATTEST: Cherie Black City Secretary AP OVED: ~~ Rnox W. Askins City Attorney ~ • • MEMORANDUM ~~ January~Tl, 1991 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Cherie Black, City Secretary SUBJECT: Wine & Beer On Premise Permit - Longhorn Lounge I have received a request from Mr. Dan Conover for the above referenced permit. The establishment is located at 9406 Spencer Highway, which is in the area annexed by the City of La Porte in 1983. The building has been in existence for approximately 25 years, and has operated as the same type establishment as it is presently. Mr. Conover has leased the building, obtained his needed permits from the Code Enforcement Division, and has remodeled the building and brought it up to City codes. His concern is regarding the section of Ordinance 1000 that requires food prepared on the premises to be served in conjunction with beer and wine, and to the 65/35 percent ratio, which was passed in 1983 (Section 1(3) and Section 1(1) of Ordinance 1000-P). Since the building was being used as a lounge when it was annexed into the City, and there are several-like establishments in that area of Spencer Highway, I am asking that the ordinance attached be passed to allow a wine and beer on premise permit for Longhorn Lounge without the requirement that food prepared on the premises be served. I feel that Mr. Conover would be willing to remove the word "Lounge" from the name of the business if Council so desires, and I believe he does plan to sell pre-prepared sandwiches, etc. I am attaching a copy of Ordinance 1000 and also Ordinance 1000-P which first addresses the serving of food prepared on the premises in conjunction with sale of beer or wine. Also attached is a copy of Ordinance 1000-L, issued to "Tooney's" and passed in 1980, which is not a restaurant but states that the sale of beer at that location shall be permitted only in connection with the sale of food. Ordinance 1000-L does not define "food". Thank you for your consideration.

Gillett Department: Public Works XXX Report Resolution Ordinance Exhibits: Revised Proposal from Insituform Gulf South SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The City Council, at the January 14, 1991 meeting, approved a contract with Insituform Gulf South to line 1,135 feet of 15 inch concrete pipe using the Insituform method, for a total cost of $72,070. Upon receipt of the notice to proceed, Gulf South dispatched operations personnel to examine the site and verify information on the job. It was discovered that the lower 433 feet of pipe was 18 inch pipe rather than 15 inch pipe. Due to the size difference, several cost factors have changed. The original proposal was to perform the insertion in one operation, using one size. With two sizes, two setups and inversions are now necessary. This fact, together with the obvious size increase and the need to increase the liner thickness due to structural considerations, have increases the price from $57.00/ft to $72.00/ft for the 18 inch segment. Additional costs are incurred due to longer periods of by-pass pumping, for a total increase in price from $72, 070 to $80,220, an increase of $8,150 over the original proposal.. Action Required by Council: Authorize an increase in the contract with Insituform Gulf South by $8,150, for a new total authorization of $80,220 for the rehabilitation of 1,135 feet of 15 inch sewer.

Estimate 2 set up @ $812.00/per set up Approximate 36-hour maintenance a $ 46.00/per hr. IGS understands the following to be provided to IGS at no cost: 1. Water for completing the project. 2. A convenient approved dump site for all debris generated from the cleaning portion of the project. 3. Obstruction removal via excavation, if necessary. 4. Access to manholes, rights-of-way and easements in the project area.

Assistance in equipment removal due to poor pipe or ground conditions, if necessary. 6. Assistance with traffic control, if necessary. Prices are based on dry ground access, construction performance during fair weather conditions and a manhole access location which will allow IGS to install the Insitutube with two (2) inversions. We understand the urgent nature of this proJ'ect and are prepared to respond immediately if authorization is given on or before January 18, 1991. After a thorough review of the project area, we are confident that the Insituform process best serves the needs of the City by solving the evident pipe problems quickly and with little disruption to nearby homeowners. We appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to excellence and look forward to serving you soon. A signed copy of this amendment will serve as our authorization to continue with this project.
