(B) Charles Brown - Has just purchased the property at 921 Oak Grove, cleared all the back taxes and mowing liens. He intends to build in about six months, and would like to remove the back of the house and secure it in order to store lumber there while he rebuilds the bulkhead and makes land improvements. If he cannot do this, he would like to tear down the house himself. (C) James Womack - He wishes a six month extension in order to demolish the house himself, as his finances are slim at this time. He plans to build a home in the $60,000 price range within the next few years, and will try to subcontract out the work himself in order to save a little money. (D) Rev. Art Haggerty - Gave his permission for the building at 210 West Polk to be demolished and the cost billed to the Church.

When the City, and appropriate utility companies have no foreseeable uses for the property, the property is normally "sold" to the property owner. The method of calculating the value of the property being "sold" to the property owner was changed in 1987. Prior to 1987, the process required that an appraisal be obtained by an independent fee appraiser. This process was determined to be time consuming and costly. In some instances, the cost of the appraisal exceeded the value of the property being sold. In May of 1987, the City Council changed the method by which the property values were obtained. The method included the obtainment of a base "prime" square foot rate from the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) and multiplying this rate by 150% to arrive at the "selling" square foot rate. Because of apparent discrepancies between the "prime" rates obtained from HCAD and the City's inability to receive this information on a timely basis, I reviewed the process and have concluded that we can meet the objectives of the ordinance in an easier and more understandable manner. Staff recommends that, in lieu of the "prime" square foot rate at a factor of 150%, the City use the square foot rate that is on the most recent certified tax roll and apply a factor of 175%. This change will provide a "selling" price that is easier to obtain and more understandable for the parties involved, without any apparent financial impact on the City. In addition, because of the sporadic nature of the closings, the revenue stream that is provided varies greatly from year to year. The sales of these types of property are a loss of a City asset. They are not properties that the City has purchased and held for resale. I believe that the loss of a City asset of this type should be reinvested into another asset and not be used in ordinary maintenance and operation. To use these funds for maintenance and operation expenses could greatly upset continuity between the City's revenue and expense streams. Staff recommends that the proceeds received from the sale of streets and/or alleys be deposited into the General Capital Improvement Fund for use in general capital improvements. ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL: Approve or deny the passage of the Ordinance which changes the method of valuation and provides instructions on the deposit of the proceeds. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS: GENERAL FUND UTILITY FUND OTHER ACCOUNT NUMBER: N/A FUNDS AVAILABLE: YES NO APPROVED FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA QMT~ ROBERT T HERRERA CITY MANAGER 8"'~"''t'l,.J DATE e e CITY OF LA PORTE INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: John Joerns, Assistant City Manager FRO~ff Litchfield, Director of Finance DATE. February 25, 1992 SUBJECT: Review of Street and Alley Closing Sales Price I have completed a review of the current process we use in determining the sales price of public rights-of-way that the City owns when an adjoining property owner requests closure of the property. We currently utilize the method of obtaining the "prime" rate for adjoining property from the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) and authorize sale of the property at 150% times the "prime" rate. If either the City or the purchaser disagrees with the sales price, they may, at purchaser's expense, request an appraisal by an independent appraiser. Because of apparent discrepancies between "prime" rates for similar properties and the inadequate response time from HCAD, I was asked to review the process. I contacted Linda Gutierrez, Jurisdiction Support, with HCAD. I was told the following: HCAD does not have a "prime" rate for all properties. They do have a series of different rates that they use to appraise certain, but not all properties. One of the rates does relate to the properties access to major thoroughfares and another relates to "back forty" type of property. She never named the first rate but I assume that is what we call the "prime" rate. The above mentioned rate does not exist for every piece of property in the City, therefore, they sometimes have to create the rate for property when we request a rate. In calculating the "prime" rate for property that we need the rate for, they take into consideration the use or potential use of the property. She specifically mentioned that if the property is surrounded by property owned by one individual, it has a very small market value because the only individual that could feasibly use it would be that one property owner. My observations after talking to Linda were that we have been asking them to perform a service that is outside the scope of our relationship and for which they do not have standard procedures to follow. When asked, she indicated that we are the only entity that requests such service from them. e e with this in mind, I went back to the primary reason for the process. It is my understanding that the purpose of using the "prime" rate was to speed up the process of determining a sales value and to provide an escape for small properties where potentially the cost of the appraisal would be greater than the value of the property. The other concern is the time it takes to get a rate from HCAD. Recently, I had five properties to get rates for. I faxed them to HCAD on January 16, 1992. After several calls of inquiry, I finally received the values on February 6, 1992, which was three weeks later. If one of the objects of using HCAD to provide a "prime" rate for the property is to render an accurate mechanism of determining the value of the property without having the proposed buyer obtain a property value appraisal, I suggest that we utilize values that are on the published tax rolls. Using the published values on the tax rolls has several merits, including, the values are available to the general public and do not appear to come out of the air as some of the prime rates do, the values are easily obtainable by staff and would greatly enhance our project turn around time, and the values are supposed to represent some sort of market value. For the same five properties that it took HCAD three weeks to calculate, I calculated in less than one hour. The process I followed for each property was to look up all surrounding properties that touch the property being requested to be sold. I obtained a weighted average of the properties on a square footage basis. This is what I found. Total value of properties being sold at the prime sq. ft. rate $39,859.33 Total prime sq. ft. rate times the 150% factor. 59,788.50 Total value of properties being sold at published sq. ft. rate 35,910.72 If the City were to utilize the published tax roll rate, for the above five properties, the markup factor needed to obtain the same revenues as provided by the current method of prime rate times 150% would be 167%. I would recommend that the City use a factor of 175%. The City or the proposed purchaser would still be able to obtain a private appraisal (at purchasers cost) if they so desired. While the ordinance is open, there are two additional areas that need to be addressed. A statement should be entered that would order the deposit of the funds into the General Capital Improvement Fund. These sales of property are a loss of a City asset. They are not properties that are held by the City for resale at a gain. A loss of a City asset should be reinvested into the City in another Capital Asset and not be used in ordinary maintenance and operations. e e And finally, the current ordinance requires that a plot plan, drawn by a licensed Texas public surveyor, be included with the application. For many of the properties requested to be closed, there exist a recorded plat that contains all the information that the plot would provide. It would be beneficial to allow someone from the City, preferably the city Engineer, to waive the requirement of the plot plan if sufficient information is contained on the recorded plat. Recommendation The City should change the method of obtain values of public rights-of-ways that are sold to an adjoining property owner. Ordinance 1550 should be changed to reflect that the City of La Porte will utilize the published tax value on the most recent tax roll to determine the square foot value and apply a factor or markup of 175% to this value to obtain the sales price. The change to the ordinance that would accomplish this would occur in the paragraph that begins "Upon agreement" and would be to delete the words "Prime Rate" and to change the factor to 1. 75. In addition, the ordinance should be amended to state that, unless otherwise directed by City Council, all proceeds from the sale of these types of properties should be deposited into the General Capital Improvement Fund for future reinvestment in the City. This would help prevent the dilution of City assets while still providing Council the means of diverting these funds as they see fit. Finally, the ordinance should be amended to provide the City Engineer, or his designee, the latitude to waive the requirement for the plot plan when the recorded plat contain the information that would be gathered by the plot plan. e e ORDINANCE NO.

Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77572-1115 Dear Mayor Malone: The City of Houston and Harris County are dedicated to reaching solutions to the criminal justice challenges facing local communities today. One of the great challenges is the early release of parolees back into our community. In this regard, the City Counc il and Commiss ioners Court have adopted a joint resolution that solidifies our commitment and outlines a short-term agenda for bringing this goal to fruition. Please find this resolution attached for your review. This agenda is not a panacea, but one that will bring about worthwhile changes to the current system. We will continue to look at other administrative and legislative solutions to our state's criminal justice problems. We encourage you to adopt similar strategies in lobbying our State representatives on these issues. We must make ourselves heard in Austin. We urge you to join our fight for meaningful reform. Sincerely, ~~ ~~~ +~ Bob Lanier Mayor CJ:=dsa~1 'County Judge @ p,ln1ed on Ihx..')'Cls(j rap&f e e RESOLUTION NO. 92-05 WHEREAS, rampant crime continues to be the number one problem in Houston/Harris County, resulting in law-abiding citizens living in fear of crime; and WHEREAS, a leading cause of crime in Houston/Harris County is the early release of parolees who have not served significant portion of their sentence; and WHEREAS, the early release of parolees in Texas has been caused by a severe shortage of state prison and correction facilities for felons and by overly restrictive court orders agreed to by the state in the Ruiz prison overcrowding lawsuits; and WHEREAS, early release has become so extensive that convicted felons are routinely released on parole having served less than one month for each year of their sentence; and WHEREAS, lack of adequate supervision of parolees by the state in Houston/Harris County has made this region a parolee haven, especially since a lack of corrections facilities for parole violators allows parolees to violate the terms of their parole with impunity; and WHEREAS, fear of crime has resulted in the loss of convention business in Houston/Harris County and damaged the ability of Houston/Harris County to attract new businesses to the region. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE: section 1. That the Greater Houston Partnership should immediately to take action to assist Houston and Harris County Officials in the effort to end the early release of parolees. section 2.

State Officials are requested to establish as soon as possible an intermediate sanctions facility for parole violators in Houston/Harris County. section 6. The Attorney General should immediately request the Federal Courts for an expedited hearing of the State's attempt to reverse the earlier Ruiz court actions and that the state must fight the Ruiz plaintiffs and Judge Justice by not compromising nor settling for a hollow victory that ends the Ruiz lawsuit yet leaves in place the expensive restrictions of that litigation. section 7. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice should change the policy on ligate money" to require parolees to check in to their halfway house before receiving all $200 instead of the present practice of receiving all of the money upon leaving prison. Further, the money should be disbursed over the term of their stay at the halfway house. e . Resolution 92-05, Page 2 section 8. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice should transport parolees to halfway houses using TDCJ buses when those vehicles are scheduled to travel empty outbound from Huntsville to retrieve new admissions into the State prison system. section 9. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice should expedite the expansion of prison facilities, especially construction of the new Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities, authorized by the November 1991 state bond election. Section 10.

Section 11. Harris County and the City of La Porte support the State's efforts to reform the penal code to provide adequate punishment for criminal behavior while wisely utilizing state prison resources though such an effort should not be used to shift the cost of felony punishment onto local property taxpayers.

Harrington Department: Comm. Develop. x Report Resolution Ordinance Exhibits: ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Attached is a memo from Ray & Hollington, Architects regarding proposed change orders for the La Porte Recreation Center. These change orders amount to $15,924.00. The current contingency Fund of $45,279.00 would be reduced to $29,355.00 if these change orders are approved as recommended. The change orders as requested have been created by a number of factors which were unpredictable at the start of the proj ect. Items "c" and "F" were due to unknown situations in the existing building that now must be corrected to interface with the new construction. Items "A", "D", and "E" were due to equipment and design changes. Items "G" and "H" were changes required by the state of Texas to meet handicapped accessibility requirements. Item "B" was a requirement of the Fire Marshall. Item "I" was required as we have now acquired the property to the north and must make allowances to incorporate it into an overall site plan. The staff is satisfied that the proposed change orders are necessary to complete the project and therefore, recommend that the total of $15,924.00 be added to the contract with Marcus Thomas and Company, Inc. Action Required by Council: Approve staff recommendations for changes to the current contract in the amount of $15,924.00. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Availability of Funds: General Fund X .
