Askins City Attorney .ra,, October 28, 1991 Honorable Council Members City of La Porte P.O. Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 Dear Council Members: C ~ I I'~ Re: City Ordinance No. 1784 On September 23, 1991, you amended an ordinance making it unlawful for any person to trap, hunt, shoot or attempt to shoot or molest in any manner, any game animal, as defined in the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code. The passage of this ordinance has caused me a considerable financial loss. I personally lease over 300 acres of undeveloped land on the Southwest side of La Porte, for cattle grazing and deer hunting. Eighteen years ago the City of La Porte promised the owners of this tract of land that if they did not oppose annexation, that the City would provide utilities to the tract, they have failed to honor this commitment and have no plans to do so in the near future. The owners of this property have paid over $ 400,000 in taxes to the City and still have no drainage or utilities. Therefore, the only use for the land in the foreseeable future, is for cattle grazing and archery deer hunting. I spoke to Councilman Porter about the impetus for the amendment of the Ordinance, and he informed me that a concerned citizen was worried about people trespassing and possibly being hurt on the property. Speaking to this concern I can only say that I have the property posted with no trespassing signs and if someone is illegally trespassing, there is always the possiblity of them being hurt, that's the risk a person takes when they break the law. A La Porte City Employee was quoted in the Houston Chronicle as saying that the safety of citzens and their property would clearly be endangered if hunting and other predatory activities were allowed to continue". I challenge this narrow minded thinking, archery is taught as a class at the La Porte High School and students practice in their back yards in Fairmont Park Subdivision and no citzens are endangered by this activity, why is it then, that an archery deer hunter, hunting on 300 acres not bordering any subdivision or other development is endangering the safety of any citzen. A fair number of deer are killed every year by cars on Highway 146, Fairmont Park and Bay Area Boulevard, I'm sure some of the drivers of these cars would appreciate archery hunters keeping the deer herd down. The deer population in this area is very high and when natural predation is not present, deer tend to over populate their given habitat. Over population, more than any other factor, leads to disease, starvation and an over all un- healthy herd. Coupling this with fact that deer ticks cause Lime Disease, many citzens welcome the fact that archery hunters keep the size of the deer herds in check. k ~. r ~ • Several years ago the City of La Porte passed a comprehensive zoning plan for the City and this paticular tract was zoned Planned Unit Development, yet there is no infrastructure in place for development of any nature. The zoning designation PUD over the entire portion of this tract has adversely affected the marketability of the property ,due to the fact that the tract has over 1 mile of rail frontage which is normally associated with heavy industrial users. Many industrial users shy away from attempting to fight the City of Laporte on Zoning issues. Last year the owners of this tract, spent money surveying and dedicating a 100 foot wide drainage easement on the south end of this parcel and neither Harris County or the City of La Porte has expressed any interest in assisting the landowners in getting the drainage right of way functional, to facilitate development of the area. The Texas Legislature has passed laws addressing the specific obligations of Municipalities when annexing a tract of land and one of obligations is to provide utilities to the property within three years. The City of La Porte has had eighteen years to provide utilities to this tract and has not done so, my advice to these landowners is to ask the City to be de-annexed since the City is not providing any services or utilities for the City Taxes that are being paid on the property. In years past I have had Game Wardens and La Porte Police officers hunting on this lease which further insured against anyone trespassing and now the City Council has made it illegal for me to allow them to hunt anymore. Since the ordinance only speaks to game animals as defined by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code ", does the City Council have any objections to my stocking the property with Mouflon Rams and Barbadoau Sheep? The Texas Legislature several years ago struck down a law that made it illegal to hunt in the City Limits as unconstitutional. Deer hunting in Texas is Big Business and with the stroke of a pen, La Porte's City Council took away a valuable source of income for me, from this property. I am hereby humbly requesting that the City Council Grandfather my hunting rights on this property, since it poses no threat to Public Health or Safety and there is no anticipated development of the property, until the drainage and infrastructure problems are resolved.

Recreation Center We have received and reviewed your request of August 29, 1991 requesting permission to purchase the 16,000 square foot metal building adjacent to the building at 1322 South Broadway. You are hereby granted permission to make an offer to the owner for $165,000. It is understood that one-half of the purchase price will be paid by the City of La Porte and that one-half of the building will be renovated by the City for purposes unrelated to the S.P.O.R.T. facility. Your letter alluded to a need for additional funding for this project. Please be advised that in light of the significant amount of CDBG funds currently allocated to the S.P.O.R.T. facility, it is unlikely that more would be added to the original amount. If this presents a significant problem that the City of La Porte cannot resolve with resources other than CDBG, please let us know before an offer is made to the owner. Si ~ rely, ;~ alter L.

Bid requests were mailed to five (5) area suppliers with only one (1), Vulcan Materials returning a bid. During the past year, alternative materials to natural limestone rock asphalt aggregate were allowed and used on a trial basis. Problems with "bleed through" and pavement failures were encountered with the alternative materials. Due to the poor performance of the alternative materials, bid specifications were for natural limestone rock asphalt aggregate. Vulcan Materials was the only supplier complying with the specifications. Vulcan Materials submitted bids as follows: 1. PE 2 Material (Price per ton) $10.00 Rail Freight (per ton) $16.00 Truck Delivery (per ton) $15.95 2. PE 4 Material (Price per ton) $10.75 Rail Delivery (per ton) $16.00 Truck Delivery (per ton) $15.95 Truck delivery prices are firm for one year. Rail delivery prices are subject to increase/decrease by regulatory action. Rail prices in effect at time of the order will determine the type of delivery. Using estimated yearly quantities of 1500 tons of each type of material, the cost of the contract would be $38925.00 for PE 2 material and $40,050.00 for PE 4 material. Staff recommends award of bid for the supply of Aggregate for Surface Treatment to the low bidder meeting specifications, Vulcan Materials.
