Malone, Mayor ATTEST: Cherie Black, City Secretary orney , - REQUEST.FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Aqenda Date Reauested: June 24, 1991 Requested by: Chief B.L. Powell Department: Police Report Resolution x Ordinance Exhibits: SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION We have again been ask to cooperate with the Harris County Organized Crime And Narcotic Task Force by supplying them a Supervisor. This Officer will be a Sergeant of our Special Operation Division. The grant for this position will begin June 1, 1991. This unit has been funded by The Texas Narcotics Control Program in the amount of 2.35 million dollars. We will receive funding to replace the sergeant when he is loaned to Task Force on this grant. The Task Force will pay up to 75\ of full salary and benefits for a Sergeant.. The officer replacing him will begin at entry level. For Example: Sgt. Pay + Benefits 75\ of Sgt. Salary Replacement officer + Benefits $45,823. $34,367 $29,379. As you note 75\ of the sergeant's officer, therefore, this request will will not make money on the venture, cost of the replacement officer. salary is more than the replacement be of no cost to the city. The city as The Task Force will only pay the The sergeant will supervise seven narcotic officers that will be assigned to work the East end of Harris County. This will be to our benefit as he already knows of our drug problem areas. Participation in this unit has given us the necessary resources to continue the fight against drugs on our streets and drug dealers. The Organized Crime & Narcotics Task Force major concentration on drug operations will give us a broader range of narcotic powers in other areas. Continued participation in this project will be extremely beneficial to the City of La Porte. We agreed that all monies confiscated was to go back into the Harris County Organized Crime & Narcotics Task Force. This will be for operating expenditures until they have made up to the amount originally funded. They would then start sharing money with the cities participating in the program. We received over $14,000 last year from participation in one seizure, even though we have agreed not to expect any money. The grant applied for to cover the sergeant position is funded for one year. However, the Organized Crime Unit has been in operations for over ten years, funded by Grants from the State of Texas. They are now funded by a Federal Grant under the name of Harris County Organized Crime & Narcotics Task Force. This grant is for a year, but if the funding is not approved for fiscal year 1992-93, they have enough funds from seizures to operate for two years. However, this Task Force is the largest in the State of Texas and has the highest arrest and seizures. They will continue building funds from seizures, therefore, they can continue to operate into the future. The City Council must pass an Ordinance authorizing an adjustment to the budget for an additional person. This ordinance will be sent to Harris County Organized Crime & Narcotics Task Force alone with the contract proper paper work for approval. We are requesting this Ordinance be placed on the council agenda for the June 24, 1991 Council meeting. ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL: Request Council approve this request for an ordinance assigning a supervisor to the Harris County Organized Crime & Narcotics Task Force. .

TEXAS 77572-1218 TELEPHONE 713 471-1886 TELECOPIER 713 471-2047 KNOX W. ASKINS .JOHN D. ARMSTRONG June 12, 1991 Mr. Robert T. Herrera City Manager City of La Porte City Hall La Porte, Texas Dear Bob: At your request, I have examined proposed easement from the City of La Porte to Houston Lighting & Power Company, for a 138KV electrical transmission line, being a 50 foot wide electrical transmission right-of-way along the south edge of Blocks 475 and 474, Town of La Porte, Harris County, Texas, for Houston Lighting & Power Company to serve Tenneco. The terms of the easement are set out in letters dated April 4, 1991 and April 5, 1991, from Houston Lighting & Power Company to the City of La Porte. I have spoken with Mr. Clayton L. Williamson, Land Agent for Houston Lighting & Power Company, about the proposed easement. Although there have been extensive discussions between the City of La Porte, Houston Lighting & Power Company, and Southern Pacific, concerning the alignment of the Houston Lighting & Power Company easement, and Southern Pacific spurs across the easement arla, the Houston Lighting & Power Company proposed easement is in st ndard form, and does not show, on the map attached thereto, the po itioning of the Houston Lighting & Power Company poles and equipment, nor does the easement language confine Houston Lighting & Power Company in any way as to pole location. The easement does provide that the City reserves the right to "extend railroad spur tracks, roads or streets and fences across, but not along the easement...conveyed." City or railroad facilities cannot be closer than 12 feet to any of Houston Lighting & Power Company's "then existing structures." Further, the easement document provides that the City would have to first seek Houston Lighting & Power Company approval of plans and specifications for proposed crossing and the location thereof. There is easement language to the effect that the spurs must cross the easement, and not parallel the easement. In conversation with Mr. Williamson to obtain clarification of this language, he said this language was intended to prevent streets or railroad tracks to parallel the easement, within the 50 foot easement strip. I see no objection to this requirement. In other words, the proposed railroad spur which would go west on "H" Street, could be constructed in the remaining former right-of-way of "H" Street, without impeding the easement. e e Mr. Robert T. Herrera City Manager June 13, 1991 Page 2 In summary, the easement is in typical form, and I have no objection to the basic easement language. My preference would have been to have an easement where Houston Lighting & Power Company exactly delineates the location of its proposed facilities, and, simultaneously with the execution of the easement, have Houston Lighting & Power Company approve the plans and specifications for the exact planned Southern Pacific spur crossings. However, in conversation with Mr. Williamson, Houston Lighting & Power Company is willing to do neither. Therefore, other than the quoted language from the easement, allowing Southern Pacific spurs to cross, with approval of Houston Lighting & Power Company, there is no written agreement between the City and Houston Lighting & Power Company, on these matter. Mr. Williamson indicated that Houston Lighting & Power Company feels it must have latitude for exact placement of the facilities within its easement, and also future placement. Iihave enclosed proposed form of ordinance for your use in placing tis easement on a City Council agenda for consideration and aproval by City Council. The recent letter from Texas Parks & Wildlife to your office, indicates conditional approval to the City to enter into the easement agreement with Houston Lighting & Power Company at this time. The City should obtain the checks for the payment of the value of the easement, $36,650.00, as well as the $29,000.00 check for acquisition of substitute parkland, in exchange for delivery of the signed easement and certified copy of ordinance approving same. please advise if I may be of any further assistance on this matter.

We look forward to securing the easement instrument previously submitted to you and hope this can be done during the month of July. Any assistance that can be provided to do so will be greatly appreciated. Houston Lighting & Power Company will participate for one- third of the amount, not to exceed $25,000, necessary for the purchase of additional park land required for the Texas Department of Parks & wildlife to approve issuance of this easement grant; however, this participation must be concluded before the end of the 1991 calendar year. This participation is separate from the consideration agreed upon for the easement itself. If there are any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at 623-3117.

LAPORTE.TEXAS 77572 June 7, 1991 Jim wyatt Houston Lighting and Power Company P.O. BoX 597 Seabrook, TX 77586 Dear Mr. wyatt: Enclosed please find a letter from the Texas Parks & wildlife Department to the city of La Porte dated June 4, 1991. The correspondence speaks favorably to our request to release a grant commitment from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has given us conditional approval from the commission so we can work with Houston Lighting and Power Company's need to develop a 138 kv transmission line. As you are aware, any time a public agency requests to de- commission a park site that was enhanced with federal funds, the public agency must meet and fulfill some very complex legislation. It's refreshing to know that the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department is supporting our request which we made on your behalf, and the development of property located within our northeast quadrant. As we have discussed and reached agreement on, we can only complete this transaction by replacing the property de-commissioned (6.0 acres mini-bike park) with substituted land of like recreational value. The associated cost to complete this land conversion is estimated to be $87,000. This amount includes property acquisition, surveys, land appraisals (2) and some attorney fees. Verbally on June 3, 1991, you committed that HL&P would participate in the conversion cost up to an amount of $29,000 which is 1/3 of the estimated project. The City agrees to match an additional 1/3, and we are currently completing negotiations with the property owner to the south of the mini-bike park for a 1/3 contribution. Please keep in mind this conversion process and de-commission element is separate and above the proposal submitted by HL&P to the City on April 4, 1991, to secure a 50' easement that would run east to west across the southern edge of the mini-bike park. i It e June 7, 1991 Page 2 On behalf of the city of La Porte, we thank you for your understanding and genuine desire to service the growth needs of the city's northeast quadrant with electrical service. I will advise our city Attorney to prepare the necessary paper work on this most crucial project. Sincerely, 8M T~ ~ ~.obert T.

Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77572-1115 Dear M~era: Thank you for your letter of May 15 concerning the proposal to release the grant commitment to the Mini Bike Park project site. We have reviewed your substitution proposal and concur that it results in a greater recreation benefit to your citizens than the Mini Bike Park site. Other administrative requirements must be met to complete the conversion and substitution process, but in the interest of expediency of allowing the use of the Mini Bike site for the transmission line, we are granting conditional approval for the conversion. The staff of our Grants-In-Aid Branch will be contacting you to request further information to complete the substitution. Approval of the conversion is conditioned upon La Porte meeting all requirements of the enclosed Guidelines for Conversion. This may mean the requirement to prove equivalence of appraised value for the substitution site when compared with the converted park. Approval is also cont i ngent upon acceptance of the subst itut i on by the National Park Service. Please contact Tim Hogsett of the Grants-In-Aid Branch at 512/389- 4949 for further information on this process. Your assistance in meeting grant requirements is greatly appreciated.

Box 1115 LaPorte, Texas 77572 Re: Request by Houston Lighting & Power Company to the City of LaPorte for a 50-Foot Wide Electrical Transmission Right-of-Way Along the South Edge of Blocks 475 and 474 within the City Limits of Morgan's Point Dear Mr. Herrera: As we have previously discussed, Houston Lighting & Power Company is preparing to construct a l38KV electrical transmission line in the LaPorte area. This line will enable a major industry in the LaPorte area, Tenneco, to build a new manufacturing facil i ty . Enclosed is a letter that explains the entire proj ect in greater detail and summarizes its benefits to the LaPorte area. In order to construct this project, it will be necessary for Houston Lighting & Power Company to secure an easement from the City of LaPorte. This easement will be 50-feet wide and would contain 27,312 square feet of land. The easement would run east to west across the southern edge of Blocks 475 and 474 within the city limits of the City of Morgan's Point. Enclosed is the proposed easement instrument for your review. This instrument contains language that addresses the City of LaPorte's desire to be able to cross the easement with improvements such as streets, rail, and utilities. This easement is off-set 15-feet north of the property line for two reasons. First, it will keep the transmission line in a straight pattern and eliminate the need of setting an additional pole in street right-of-way just to the west of the City's property. secondly, by allowing this strip to remain unencumbered, the Southern Pacific Transportation Company will be able to work wi th the City of LaPorte in extending a spur track across the property and continue westerly into the city of LaPorte should rail be necessary for any future industry locating in this vicinity. Houston Lighting & Power Company has established through an independent appraisal that the value of this 27,123 square foot easement is 75 percent of the full market value of $1.35 per square foot, which amounts to $27,653.40. It has further been determined A Subsidiary of Houston Industries Incorporated 'e e ~ Ilouslon Lighting & rower Company Mr. Robert Herrera April 4, 1991 2 by the independent appraisal that the $1.35 per square foot full value of the 15-foot wide strip of city property south of the easement will be adversely impacted by 75 percent. Since this 15- foot wide strip contains 8,879 square feet of land, a compensation of $8,989.99 is the monetary figure applicable for this negative impact. Therefore, Houston Lighting & Power company hereby offers to pay the city of LaPorte the sum of $36,650.00 as full compensation in this matter. It is requested that the City of LaPorte review this proposal, and if it is acceptable, we ask that the easement grant process be initiated by the City as soon as possible. If there are any questions concerning this request, please contact me at 623-3117. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.

Herrera DEPARTMENT City Manager x REPORT RESOLUTION ORDINANCE EXHIBITS: Letter from Texas Municipal League Proposed Resolution SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION On April 8, 1991, the City Council passed Resolution 91-07 approving the City's participation in the Telephone Franchise Steering Committee. If you will recall, information was received from the Telephone Franchise Steering Committee that indicated the phone company had recently approached several cities with their version of a franchise agreement. As a result, the Texas Municipal League felt the proposed agreement could be best reviewed, section by section, by a Committee representing a large group of cities. The resolution that was passed in April did not obligate the City to any payment. It did state that it was anticipated that a pro-rata fee might be assessed by the Telephone Franchise Steering Committee. On May 22, 1991, we received the attached letter which asks for a pro-rata fee of $.01 per capita or $279.10 for the City of La Porte. Payment of said fee will not obligate the City to any further payments. Any further requests for funds would be brought to Council's attention. The Telephone Franchise currently provides $100,000 of revenue to the General Fund. Staff believes that any changes in the franchise, whether it affects our fee rate or our responsibilities, should be heavily evaluated.

Nearly 200 cities responded with resolutions ltke yours. A number of cities have recently received a packet of material from Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (SWB) concermng what SWB proposes as a new approach to municipal fees for use of public rights-of-way. Included in the packet is SWB's proposed ordinance. Also, in April, SWB agreed with at least one Texas city to enter into an agreement similar to the one in the packet which SWB has been distributing to cities. The Committee believes that as a first step, a section-by-section legal analysis of SWB's proposed ordinance would be beneficial to all the cities that received the packet and to those who will get them in the future. The Committee also believes that a comparison of the terms of the proposed ordinance to the recent ordinances already adopted by SWB would also be beneficial.

TML will act as a manager of the fund. TML will establish an account for the money collected and will make disbursements as requested by the Steering Committee.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM ===============================-==:=-=========:=================- Agenda Date Requested: Requested By: Joel H. x Report 1 partment: Community Dev. Ordinance Exhibits: 1) List of Dangerous Buildings. 2) Dangerous Building Inspection Report Forms. 3) Video Presentation for condemnation. of buildings being considered Time approximately 22 minutes. =_====a==============_=========================================== SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Summary: The City's Dangerous Building Board of Inspection has identified 17 buildings which under the terms of Ordinance 1145 appear to be dangerous and condemnable. Reports regarding these buildings will be presented to City Council. Council will be asked to authorize a public hearing to consider condemnation of these buildings. The condemnation hearing will be held at a later date. Prior to this hearing, public notice will be published as well as being mailed to the owners of affected structures. Although funds have been budgeted for demolition of structures, the cost of demolition is likely to exceed $23,500, the amount currently budgeted. Staff's intent is to break demolition into two phases with the second phase being funded from the Fiscal Year 1992 Budget, if approved. Recommendation: Authorize a condemnation hearing to consider demolition of all 17 of the targeted structures. Action Required by Council: 1) Review reports on structures being considered. 2) Authorize a condemnation hearing for each of the structures to be considered for demolition. ================================================================ Availability of Funds: General Fund Capital Improvement x Other Water/Wastewater General Revenue Sharing Account Number: 001-902-902-606 Funds Available: -K Yes No Approved for City Council Agenda: G<~ \, ~ Robert T.

A pick-up truck ran a stop sign and the patrol car ran into the side of the truck. The owner of the truck has refused to accept full responsibility, thus causing the City to subrogate the claim. In the interim, the Police Department is without a vehicle. Three estimates were received to repair the vehicle with Joe Camp Ford being low at $6,975.43. Staff recommends having the vehicle repaired by the low and when the final cost is known, turn the matter over City Attorney for subrogation. bidder to the Action Required by Council: Approve repair of damaged patrol car.

Herrera, City Manager FROM: Louis Rigby, Human Resources/Purchasing Manager SUBJECT: Vehicle Repair On March 19, 1991, a City patrol car was on 8th street. A pick up truck belonging a stop sign and the patrol car ran into Both the officer driving the patrol car truck were injured and treated at a local involved in an accident to Hoechst Celanese ran the side of the truck. and the driver of the hospital. In trying to resolve the liability issue, I made numerous calls to the local Hoechst Celanese plant (Bayport Works), their headquarters in New Jersey, their claims office in Dallas, and their adjuster in Houston. On May 24, the adjuster told me that, according to witness statements they had, the driver of the pick up truck was not entirely at fault and they would not pay any claims at this time and that I should seek subrogation in the matter. I spoke with Richard Evans at TML and found that since the City did not carry auto physical damage (APD) coverage, TML would not be able to subrogate. They would, however, subrogate the worker's compensation claim our officer had. I then called Knox Askins who advised that after the repairs are made, the City can seek subrogation on those costs. Shortly after the accident, the City obtained three repair estimates. Joe Camp Ford submitted the low estimate at $6,975.43. Les Marks Chevrolet estimated damages at $7,653.31, and Lindsey & Newsom (Hoechst Celanese's adjuster) estimated $8,022.05. This expenditure must be approved by City Council and I will take this item to the meeting scheduled on June 24. Since the Police Department has been without this vehicle since the accident, I have instructed the Equipment Services Division to proceed with the repair through the low bidder to alleviate any further delay. I also spoke with Jeff Litchfield about the expenditure and he advised to charge this repair through vehicle maintenance and any recovered funds would be placed back into the account as revenue. e .
