He displays great concern for the City, the Police Department, the citizens he works for and the employees he works with.

Since Officer Lunsford's employment, he has conducted numerous felony and misdemeanor arrests. He has arrested burglary of residence suspects, auto theft suspects, and numerous suspects wanted by other police agencies from local areas and out-of-state areas for felony and misdemeanor offenses. This has enabled thousands of dollars of property to be recovered and returned to the owners. He has also revived a prisoner who was attempting suicide in his jail cell; investigated auto thefts and arrested the suspect, who was convicted and sent to prison; put his life on the line while investigating a DWI and the person pulled a pistol and pointed the gun at Officer Lunsford; arrested suspicious males committing a burglary; and has conducted numerous misdemeanor arrests for various causes. Officer Lunsford is a professional Police Office, and performs his duties in an excellent manner. He is a credit to the City of La Porte, the Police Department and to the citizens of this community. Therefore, it is with great pride that Officer Charles Lunsford is named Employee of the Quarter for October, November and December, 1991. ........._. . • Sam Loved Knowles began working for the City of La Porte on September 30, 1981.

Under the terms of the Texas Property Tax Code (S.B. 621, Acts of the 65th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1979, as amended), • • Industrial District Agreement - 4 the appraised value for tax purposes of the annexed portion of land, improvements, and tangible personal property shall be determined by the Harris County Appraisal District. The parties hereto recognize that said District has no authority to appraise the land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the unannexed area for the purpose of computing the "in lieu" payments hereunder. Therefore, the parties agree that the appraisal of the land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the unannexed area shall be conducted by City, at City's expense, by an independent appraiser of City's selection. The parties recognize that in making such appraisal for "in lieu" payment purposes, such appraiser must of necessity appraise the entire (annexed and unannexed) land, improvements, and tangible personal property. Company agrees to render and pay full City ad valorem taxes on such annexed land, improvements, and tangible personal pro- perty. Company also agrees to render to City and pay an amount "in lieu of taxes" on company's land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the unannexed area equal to the sum of: (1) Fifty percent (50~) of the amount of ad valorem taxes which would be payable to City if all of the hereinabove described property which existed on January 1, 1986, had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised each year by City's independent appraiser; and (2) Thirty percent (30$) of the amount of ad valorem taxes which would be payable to City on any increase in value of the hereinabove described property, in excess of the appraised value of same on January 1, 1986, resulting from new construction and new acquisitions of tangible personal property, (exclusive of Construction in Progress, which shall be exempt from taxation), if all of said new construction and acquisitions had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised by City's independent • • Industrial District Agreement - 5 appraiser; with the sum of (1) and (2) reduced by the amount of City's ad valorem taxes on the annexed portion thereof as determined by appraisal by the Harris County Appraisal District. Nothing herein contained shall ever be construed as in derogation of the authority of the Harris County Appraisal District to establish the appraised value of land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the annexed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes. III. This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day of January, 1987, and continue thereafter until December 31, 1993, unless extended for an additional period or periods of time upon mutual consent of Company and City as provided by the Municipal Annexation Act; provided, however, that in the event this Agreement is not so extended for an additional period or periods of time on or before August 31, 1993, the agreement of City not to annex property of Company within the District shall terminate. In that event, City shall have the right to commence immediate annexation proceedings as to all of Company's property covered by this Agreement, notwithstanding any of the terms and provisions of this agrement, and in such event Company agrees that if the Texas Municipal Act, Article 970a (V.A.T.S.), as amended after January 1, 1980, or any new legislation is thereafter enacted. by the Legislature of the State of Texas which imposes greater restrictions on the right of City to annex land belonging to Company or imposes further obligations on City in connection therewith after the annexation of such land, Company will waive the right to require City to comply with any such additional restrictions or obligations and the rights of the parties shall be then determined in accordance with the provisions of said Texas Municipal Annexation Act as the same existed January 1, 1980. • • Industrial District Agreement - 6 IV . This Agreement may be extended for an additional period or periods by agreement between City and Company and/or its assigns even though it is not extended by agreement between City and all of the owners of all land within the District of which it is a part. In this connection, City hereby expresses its belief that industrial district agreements of the kind made herein are conducive to the development of existing and future industry and are to .the best interest of all citizens of City and encourage future City Councils to enter into future industrial district agreements and to extend for additional periods permitted by law this Industrial District Agreement upon request of Company or its assigns; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate either party hereto to agree to an extension of this Agrement. V. Company agrees to pay all ad valorem taxes, and all "in lieu of taxes" payments hereunder, to City on or before December 31 of each year during the term hereof. It is agreed that presently the ratio of ad valorem tax assessment used by City is one hundred percent (100$) of the fair market value of property. Any change in such ratio used by City shall be reflected in any subsequent computations hereunder. This Agreement shall be subject to all provisions of law relating to determination of value of land, improvements, and tangible personal property, for tax purposes (e.g., rendition, assessment, Harris County Appraisal District review and appeal procedures, court appeals, etc.) for purposes of fixing and determining the amount of ad valorem tax payments, and the amount of "in lieu of tax" payments hereunder, except as otherwise provided in Articles II and VI hereof. VI. (A) In the event Company elects to protest the valuation for tax purposes set on its said properties by City or by the Harris • • Industrial District Agreement - 7 County Appraisal District for any year or years during the terms hereof, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude such protest and Company shall have the right to take all legal steps desired by it to reduce the same. Nothwithstanding such protest by Company, Company agrees to pay to City on or before the date therefor hereinabove provided, at least the total of (a) the total amount of ad valorem taxes on the annexed portions, plus (b) the total amount of the "in lieu of taxes" on the unannexed portions of Company's hereinabove-described property which would be due by Company to City in accordance with the foregoing . ,.., provisions of this Agrement on the basis of renditions which shall be filed by Company on or before March 31 of each year during the term of this Agreement, with both the City and the Harris County Appraisal District (as the case may be) for that year. When the City or Harris County Appraisal District (as the case may be) valuation on said property of Company has been so finally determined, either as the result of final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as the result of other final conclusion of the controversy, then within thirty (30) days thereafter Company shall make payment to City of any additional payment due hereunder based on such final valuation, together with applicable penalties, interests, and costs. (B) Should Company disagree with any appraisal made by the independent apppraiser selected by City pursuant to Article II above (which shall be given in writing to Company), Company shall, within twenty (20) days of receiving such copy, give written notice to the City of such disagreement. In the event Company does not give such written notice of disagreement within such time period, the appraisal made by said independent appraiser shall be final and controlling for purposes of the determination of "in lieu of taxes" payments to be made under this Agreement. Should Company give such notice of disagreement, Company shall • Industrial District Agreement - 8 also submit to the City with such notice a written statement setting forth what Company believes to be the market value of Company's hereinabove described property. Both parties agree to thereupon enter into good faith negotiations in an attempt to reach an agreement as to the market value of Company's property for "in lieu" purposes hereunder. If, after the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date the notice of disagreement was received by City, the parties have not reached agreement as to such market value, the parties agree to submit the dispute to final arbitration as provided in subparagraph (1) of this Article VI(B). Notwithstanding any such disagreement by Company, Company agrees to pay to City on or before December 31 of each year during the term hereof, at least the total of (a) the ad valorem taxes on the annexed portions, plus (b) the total amount of the "in lieu" payments which would be due ]zereunder on the basis of Company's valuations rendered and/or submitted to City by Company hereunder, or the total assessment and "in lieu of taxes" thereon for the last preceding year, whichever is higher. (1) A Board of Arbitrators shall be created composed of one person named by Company, one by City, and a third to be named by those two. In case of no agreement on this arbitrator in 10 days, the parties will join in a written request that the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas appoint the third arbitrator who, (as the "Impartial Arbitrator") shall preside over the arbitration proceeding. The sole issue to be determined in the arbitration shall be resolution of the difference between the parties as to the fair market value of Company's property for calculation of the "in lieu" payment and total payment hereunder for the year in question. The Board shall hear and consider all relevant and material evidence on that issue including expert opinion, and shall render its written decision as promptly as practicable. That decision shall then be final and binding upon the parties, • Industrial District Agreement - 9 subject only to judicial review as may be available under the Texas General Arbitration Act (Articles 224-238, Vernon's Annot- ated Revised Civil Statutes of Texas). Costs of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the Company and the City, provided that each party shall bear its own attorneys fees. (C) Should the provisions of Article II of this Agreement become impossible of enforcement because of (1) the invalidity or unenforceability of the Texas Property Code (S.B. 621, Acts of the 65th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1979), or any relevant provision thereof, or (2) because of any material delay or failure to act~on the part of the Harris County Appraisal District, then and iri any of such events, all payments under this Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of Article II hereof; anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding. VII. City shall be entitled to a tax lien on Company's above-described property, all improvements thereon, and all tangible personal property thereon, in the event of default in payment of "in lieu of taxes" payments hereunder, which shall accrue penalty and interest in like manner as delinquent taxes, and which shall be collectible by City in the same manner as provided by law for delinquent taxes. VIII. Company agrees to provide to City at Company's expense, a survey plat and field note description of the land and improvements which Company petitions to be annexed in accordance with the provisions of Article II above. Such annexation tract shall be contiguous to a point on the existing corporate limits of La Porte. In the event of failure of Company to file either such petition, or such description, City shall have the right by notice in writing to Company to cancel and terminate this Agreement. • Industrial District Agreement - 10 IX. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon City and Company, and upon Company's successors and assigns, affiliates and subsidiaries, and shall remain in force whether Company sells, assigns, or in any other manner disposes of, either voluntarily or by operation of law, all or any part of the property belonging to it within the territory hereinabove described, and the agreements herein contained shall be held to be covenants running with the land owned by Company situated within said territory, for so long as this Agreement or any extension thereof remains in force. X. If City enters into an Agreement with any other landowner with respect to an industrial district or enters into a renewal of any existing industrial district agreements after the effective date hereof and while this Agreement is in effect, which contains terms and provisions more favorable to the landowner than those in this Agreement, Company and its assigns shall have the right to amend this Agreement and City agrees to amend same to embrace the more favorable terms of such agreement or renewal agreement; provided, however, City reserves the right to enter into such agreements or renewal agreements with other landowners not covered by existing agreements, containing a percentage of ad valorem taxes more favorable to the landowner than that contained in Paragraph II, Subparagraph 3 (2) hereof, and Company and its assigns shall not have the right to amend this agreement to embrace the more favorable percentage of ad valorem taxes contained in such agreement or renewal thereof, than that contained in Paragraph II, Subparagraph 3 (2) hereof. City may extend more favorable terms to landowners covered by existing contracts only to the extent such favorable terms apply to any increase in value of the hereinabove described property, in excess of the appraised value of same on January 1, 1986, as described in Paragraph II,~ Sub- paragraph 3 (2) hereof. Industrial District Agreement - 11 XI. In the event any one or more words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of this Agreement or the applieaton thereof to any person, firm, corporation or circum- stances shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional for any reason, then the application, invalidity or unconstitutionality of such words, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or other part of the Agreement shall be deemed to be independent of and separable from the remainder of this Agreement and the validity of the remaining partes of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. XII. Upon the commencement of the term of this Agreement, all other previously existing industrial district agreements with respect to said land shall terminate.

To Close the Right-of-Way of 17th Street in La Porte, Between Blocks 654 and 653, Town of La Porte, Harris County, Texas. Dear Mr. Dowden: I represent the City of La Porte as its City Attorney. The City has asked me to review the above referenced matter. I have prepared and enclose herewith, copy of a proposed ordinance for the February 10, 1992, City of La Porte City Council agenda, closing the subject street right-of-way. The City of La Porte has received the Harris County Appraisal District prime rate appraisal, of $0.25 per square foot. 24,000 square foot, times $0.25 per square foot, times a factor of 1.5, equals a $9,000.00 appraisal amount which should be paid to the City of La Porte by cashiers check. In reviewing the file, the only other matters which I note must be accomplished by you and your client, before a certified copy of the street closing ordinance can be delivered to you by the City, is the completion of the hold harmless letter to the City, by an official of Anthony Crane, in same form as the letters which you furnished from the adjoining property owners. The City will also need evidence of title of the adjoining property owners who gave their consent. I assume this will be no problem for Anthony Crane, for, as I understand the file, your firm is purchasing these properties from the various owners. Copies of current title commitments on these adjoining propertis will satisfy this requirement. I am sure you are aware that the legal effect of the passage of the ordinance, and its recording in the County Clerk's office, is to revert the former street right-of-way, one-half thereof to the abutting property owners on each side of the street. Finally, the City will require evidence of the ownership of Anthony Crane Rental of Texas, Inc., of Lots 17 to 32, Block 654, Town of La Porte, Harris County, Texas. This can take the form of furnishing Mr. Lairon W. Dowden, Jr. Nederland, TX 77627 February 6, 1992 Page 2 the City a copy of your client's deed and title policy, with your opinion letter currently dated that your client is the record owner of the property. If you have any questions, or if I can be of any further assistance, please give me a call. Yo very t; ~~~~ Knox W.

Special Conditional Use permit #SCU91-001 (for amended plan) SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION This item was tabled at the Council Meeting of January 27, 1992. The attached letter from John Armstrong explains the Zoning Ordinance provisions as they relate to use of right-of-way for screening of open storage. Since then Mr. McElveen has submitted an amended business plan for his proposed operation. The staff memo dated February 4, 1992 highlights the changes proposed by Mr. McElveen and refers to the appropriate Zoning Ordinance restrictions. Council may: 1. Approve the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, and grant SCU91-001. 2. Modify the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation (e.g. require screening be on private property and not public right-of-way). 3. Deny SCU91-001. 4. Consider the amended plan presented by Mr. McElveen and approve a special conditional use permit for the amended business plan. If so approved, the amended special conditional use permit should specify: A. Compliance with the provisions of Zoning Ordinance Section 6.600 B as noted on the attached Special Conditional Use Permit form. B. Special Conditional Use Permit allows Boat and R.V. Storage only in the area indicated on the applicants amended site plan submitted to the City of La Porte on February 5, 1992. Council may also modify these conditions as they see fit.

ARMSTRONG TELECOPIER 713 471-2047 February 5, 1992 Honorable Mayor and Council City of La Porte Re: SCU91-0.01 ~- -_ - - Boat-and R.V. Storage ~ ~ - 10601 West Fairmont Parkway - Gentlemen: I have been requested to discuss a question that was raised at the City Council's consideration of the above-referenced Special Conditional Use Permit application. The Council considered the application at its meeting on January 27, 1992. The question raised by Council, as I understand it, involved the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation that the applicant be allowed to place screening of the storage yard on public right-of-way. The Zoning Ordinance, Section 6-600(B)(2) requires that outdoor storage be screened from public right-of-way in accordance with Section 6-600(A). The referenced Special Conditional Use Permit application involves outdoor storage that is subject to the above Ordinance requirements. The Zoning Ordinance is silent as to whether the screening required is to be placed on private property, as opposed to contiguous public right-of-way. However, the Zoning Ordinance does allow for landscaping to be on public right-of-way, provided the owner hold the public entity harmless from any adverse consequences due to the landscaping over public use of its right-of-way. See Section 10-504 and Section 10-508 for Zoning Ordinance landscaping requirements. In the Zoning Ordinance, landscaping is a concept loosely related to screening. The Planning and Zoning Commission was made aware of the fact that the screening in question was to be in the right-of-way, and was within its jurisdiction and Ordinance authority to recommend approval to-the City Council of SCU91-001 in its present form. The City Council may: 1) approve the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, and grant SCU91-001; 2) modify the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation (e.g. require screening be on private property and not public right-of-way); or 3) deny SCU91-001. • February 5, 1992 Page 2 It has come to my attention that, relative to the proposed screening on applicant has voluntarily come forward site plan. The amended plan promotes car wash as outdoor sales and service Zoning Ordinance without action by Commission or City ,Council. after Council's questions public right-of-way, the and suggested an amended the space in front of the which is permitted by the the Planning and Zoning The amended site plan would still -require a Special Conditional Use permit for the proposed open~storage_which is now to take place behind the car wash.' The amended proposal, as I~ understand, includes enclosing the car wash along the-.Fairmont Parkway side. The City Council could accept such amended proposal without requiring new public hearings, since the public notices sent and published fully cover the permit application as amended. Council could amend the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation to permit the amended proposal, if desired. Res f lly Submitted, John D. Armstrong Assistant City Attorney City of La Porte JDA/cbr • • /~ C I T Y O F L A P O R T E I N T E R- O F F I C E M E M O R A N D U M F E B R U A R Y 4, 1 9 9 2 T0: Mayor and City Council FROM: Ervin J. Griffith, Chief Building Offici THROUGH: Robert T. Herrera, City.. A'Eanage"r SUBJECT: SCU91-001; Boat and R. V. Storage,.. 10601~West Fairmont Parkway City Council at its January 27, 1992 meeting tabled Special Conditional Use Request due to questions relating to landscaping, screening and use of the public right-of-way as a planting area. Use of public right-of-way as planting area is discussed in detail in the attached letter from the City Attorney's office. Mr. McElveen, owner of the Storage Station (10601 W. Fairmont Parkway), visited staff after the Council meeting and has revised his plans for the requested boat and R. V. storage yard. In brief, the revisions are as follows.. (Please refer to attached Exhibit A): A. The existing fence is to be removed from the western face of the property. B. Enclosing walls are to be erected in the southern openings of the existing carwash stalls. This will meet the Zoning Ordinance test for screening of open storage. All open storage as defined by the Ordinance will take place within and behind the carwash stalls. C. The fence between the carwash area and mini warehouses will be removed. This will allow vehicle communication between the areas and allow the complex's existing main gate to be utilized for access. D. As originally proposed, landscape screening will be placed along the western face of the property. E. The paved area located between .Fairmont Parkway and the carwash stalls will remain unfenced and be utilized as a parking area, primarily for rental trucks. This activity is defined as outdoor sales and service which the Zoning Ordinance classifies as a Permitted Use. Outside sales and service does not require a Conditional Use Permit or special approval by Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council. Page 2 Mr. McElveen stated that his revised proposal will still allow him to operate a viable boat and R. V. storage facility while also alleviating a parking problem_tha.t ha_s -developed due to the increasing volume of his truck -and. trailer_ rental business. It should be noted that the storage.. yard component of Mr. McElveen's revised proposal still requires a Special Conditional Use Permit. However, the area designated for storage is contained within the tract described by the public notices given prior to the required public hearings. This being the case, Council is free to act on this matter without any additional public hearings. cc: John Armstrong, Assistant City Attorney x J ~ • r r i Ear r o c ' ~~ ;~~ t iii-- ~, ,. ,,. ~ s. o ~~ - ~ o ~tV ~ o Q ~ ~ ~~ n ;~ a o 0 .

While selecting furniture for the senior citizens portion; a decision was made to purchase a particular type of rectangular and round tables. These tables are made of lightweight plastic which is very durable. Unfortunately, the manufacturer of the tables has been absorbed by another company, which plans to increase the price of the tables significantly. However, if the tables are purchased immediately, the existing price of the tables will be honored. Additionally, the tables are a sole source item which prompts staff to request Council waive the bidding process. Action Required by Council: approval purchase of the Availability of Funds: Waive bidding process for the tables and tables (thirty-eight (38) rectangular tables- five (5) round tables - total cost six thousand eighty dollars ($6080.00) General Fund Capital Improvement X Other Account Number: 034-800-520-780 Water/Wastewater General Revenue Sharing Funds Available: X YES NO Aparoved for City Council Agenda 0 t T. llerrera lty Manager 2 6 ate r ~ ~ CITY OF LA PORTB PARRB AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDIIM FEBRIIARY 4, 1992 TO: Stan Sherwood, Director Parks & Recreation FROM: Karen Beerman, Special Services Superintendent SIIBJECT: Tables for Sr. Congregate Area at New Facility While researching suppliers for tables needed in the senior congregate area, classroom and arts & crafts room, I learned Bryan Equipment Company of Bryan, Texas is a sole source vendor of the plastic, lightweight folding tables needed. I was informed by the company they had been bought out by a company in Pennsylvania and effective February 15, 1992 all orders will need to be placed with the new company at a substantial price increase, as well as an increase in shipping and freight rates.

Lift Station 30 has a long history: It started as the headcaorks for the former Fairmont Trickling Filter Treatment Plant.

In 1984, numerous complaints regarding odor from the plant resulted construction of a concrete cover over the open wet caell. In 1986, with the completion cf the Fairmont Parkway Trunk Sewer, the Plant was abandoned and demolished, and the headworks was converted to a lift station, discharging into the new trunk sewer for final treatment at the newly expanded Main Wastewater Treatment Plant. which is highly corrosive to metal pipe and concrete.

Utah The 1991-92 Budget allocated $175,000 for replacement of the r_oncrete pavement on East H Street. The replacement is necessary due to damages from sewer repair, construction of the East La Porte Relief Sewer and deteriorating storm sewers.The budgeted amount included street replacement and storm sewer rehabilitation. A routine T.V. inspection of the existing sanitary sewer revealed advanced decay of the pipe material. Additionally, the line is located under the paved street section and is undersized. In fact, the existing 8" line carries sewer from twc intersecting S" lines. It is recommended that the existing 8" sanitary sewer located under this street be enlarged and relocated adjacent to the vement. By t~slots:.5 ~t-i~ t~>~~ ux ....pw~ areas Se~eY ~r .-• Sows w.M.• H. Carlos Smith Engineers and Surveyors, Inc. was asked to examine the proposed project and develop a proposal to design the necessary improvements. A preliminary estimate from the Engineer is extremely close to the budgeted amount. The Engineer has proposed a design and construction administration budget of $14,000. Additional funds are available from the Street Division's operating budget. A total of $90,000 was budgeted for contract overlay. Through an interlocal agreement with Harris County, $70,000 was approved by Council for the overlay program. A total of $20,000 remains, whir_h could be used to fund the engineering of the East H Street Project. The proposed budget is attached for your review. A formal proposal from the Engineer, with all phases of the work identified with cost, will be available soon. I will forward it for further review as it becomes available.

Dear Steve, L~ (713) 471-4226 January 17,1992 Please accept this letter as our proposal to perform Engineering and Surveying services on the proposed improvements to East H Street from San Jacinto Avenue to South Utah Street. These proposed improvements involve the replacement and re-routing of the existing sanitary sewer lines including service lines; the removal and replacement of reinforced concrete pavement; the removal and enlargement of storm water inlets and the repair of the storm water drainage system. We understand that you have a budget restraint of $ 175,000.00 and will attempt to design the improvements within this limitation. Should we find that we are exceeding this limitation, we will advise you immediately and await further directions from you. We would propose to perform our services on a per diem basis with a not to exceed fee of $ 14,000.00. This fee is based on an estimated 322 man hours to complete the pro,~ect. We have included our surveying time in this fee schedule which would normally be classified as additional services. Our preliminary construction cost estimate for this project will closely approach your budget figure without the inclusion of laboratory fees and Engineering fees. We trust this proposal meets with your approval. We wish to thank you for this opportunity to provide you with this estimate for your Engineering and Surveying needs. We look forward to working with you on this project should our firm be selected. If selected, we would present the proposal in a formal letter contract form for signatures. r~ ~. H.
