since the road work going on around the subdivision is keeping
the public from really knowing there is any building going on.
The site of construction is at the back of the subdivision,
and unless they use temporary signs, they feel the homes will
not be sold as rapidly. He suggested some rules and
regulations be put in place to govern the temporary signs.
Mr. Jeff Payson, Cervelle Homes, addressed Council to echo Mr.
Shubert's comments. He explained that the directional signs
did more than just show how to find the community, it also
showed that there is activity there.
Mr. Joe Green addressed Council regarding the proposed curfew
ordinance. He read a letter signed by School Superintendent
Richard Hays, supporting the ordinance. Mr. Green also
supports the ordinance.
Mrs. Janet Graves addressed Council as president of the La
Porte Bayshore Garden Club. She thanked Council for their

6. Council considered an ordinance amending the Code of
Ordinances of the City of La Porte, by adding a new Article IV
to Chapter 13, relating to the establishment of a daytime and
night time juvenile curfew.
The City Attorney read: ORDINANCE 1887 - AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE,
TEXAS, BY ADDING A NEW ARTICLE IV TO CHAPTER 13, RELATING TO
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A DAYTIME AND NIGHT TIME JUVENILE CURFEW;
CONTAINING FINDINGS AND OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE
FOREGOING SUBJECT; DECLARING CERTAIN CONDUCT TO BE UNLAWFUL
AND PROVIDING PENALTIES THEREFOR; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;
PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE; FINDING COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPEN
MEETINGS LAW; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.
City Manager Bob Herrera stated that at the last Council
meeting this proposed ordinance was workshopped and there was
some discussion as to what constitutes an adult and what age
this ordinance would be in effect.
Chief Powell explained that the school attendance law says if
you are 16 when you start the school year, then you must
finish that year. If you turn 16 before school starts the
first semester, you don't have to attend. However, a person
can leave home at 17 you cannot consider them runaways, but if
that 17 year old is injured, parental consent is needed to
treat. So it's up to Council what age they want in the
ordinance.
After discussion by Council regarding the daytime portion of
the curfew and counseling services available, motion was made
by Councilperson Maxwell to table the ordinance for further
refinement. The motion died for lack of a second.
Motion was made by Councilperson Porter to adopt Ordinance 93-
1887 as read by the City Attorney. Second by Councilperson
Thrower. The motion carried, 7 ayes and 1 nay.

RE: Signage
Dear John:
Enclosed is the ordinance the City of Seabrook adopted concerning
temporary signage. I am reviewing this with my builders, and I am
asking them to convey to me any items they have a problem with.
I hope to get back with you within a couple of days to review their
comments with you. Maybe we can meet on Thursday or Friday, before
the Council meeting on the 8th.
Please advise me on whether this should be an "agenda item" on the
Council agenda, or not.
Cordially,

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA DATE REQUESTED February 9. 1993
REQUESTED BY Jeff Litchfield DEPARTMENT Director of Finance
REPORT RESOLUTION X ORDINANCE
EXHIBITS: Letters providing additional information
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
On December 21, 1992, the City received proposals from Bayshore National Bank and
Baytown State Bank to provide Banking Services to the City of La Porte.
In analyzing the proposals submitted by the two banks, there are three distinct areas
that need to be reviewed. They are the costs of the proposal, the financial condition
of the bank and the services provided by the bank.
The proposals submitted by each bank were identical in 90% of their requests. The only
two items of difference were in the charges for safekeeping and the account maintenance
on the average daily collected balance. Based on the aggregate annual transactions we
estimated when we sent out the proposals, we can expect to pay $26,436 if we continue
with Bayshore National and $25,794 if we change to Baytown State Bank.
In regards to financial condition, I believe that both banks are going concerns and
will be in business during the term of the contract.
Services provided by the bank are the next area of consideration. Baytown State Bank
has been in operation in La Porte for three years and have grown to have total deposits
at their branch bank of $3 million. Their total deposits, including their Baytown
Bank, are $44 million. Bayshore State Bank has total deposits of $125 million with
their main bank being located in La Porte. My primary concern is Baytown State Bank's
ability to address an immediate 18% growth in their branch bank. We will be dealing
primarily with the branch bank with all documents being stored at the location in
Baytown.
In reviewing the physical facilities offered by the bank, it is an obvious advantage
to Bayshore National. It appears Bayshore offers an advantage to our employees by
providing easier access to cash their checks.
In comparing loans for each of the banks, I found that Bayshore National had a loan to
deposit ratio of 76% and Baytown State was 34%. I interpret this to mean that for
every dollar on deposit, Bayshore has loaned out 76 cents to its customers and Baytown
has loaned out 34 cents.
I have just briefly touched these three areas and additional information can be found
in the backup documentation.
Staff's conclusion and recommendation is that we do not change banks at this time. The
incidental costs and hardships associated with a change as well as the different levels
of service, will offset the extra cost ($642) we would incur. Staff met with the Audit
Committee on January 28, 1993 and received their unanimous support in continuing with
Bayshore National Bank.
ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL:
Adopt Ordinance approving and authorizing a banking services agreement with Bayshore
National Bank for a two year period beginning March 1, 1993.

Earlier this year our city experienced first hand the shocking reality of child abuse.
When two year old Donny Martin was murdered by his stepfather, I and other
community leaders vowed to take the lead in an all out effort to reduce child abuse.
Though child abuse alone is a horrendous crime which should carry a heavy
penalty, child abuse resulting in death is a crime deserving of extraordinary
punishment.
I am asking for your support in urging the Texas Legislature and the Governor to
enact specific legislation that will provide capital punishment for anyone who takes
the life of a child under six years of age. Senator J.E. "Buster" Brown is introducing
such a bill for legislative action. It is identified as SB 13.
I will be making special trips to Austin to encourage the passage of this legislation,
and I need your help in making this become a reality. Would you, as Mayor,
strongly urge your fellow councilmembers to adopt the attached sample resolution,
and forward it along with a letter of support to your legislative representatives at
the following addresses: Texas Senate, P.O. Box 12068 - Capitol Station, Austin, TX
78711; Texas House of Representatives, P O. Box 2910, Austin, TX 78769-2910; as
well as Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock at P.O. Box 12068 - Capitol Station, Austin,
TX 78711. In my continuing efforts to communicate with supporting cities, I would
appreciate you sending a copy of your correspondence to my attention at 200 North
Fifth Street, Garland, Texas 75040.
I will be pursuing the passage of this child abuse legislation very strongly, and I
need your support. Please call our City Manager's office at 214-205-2370 if you have
any questions. You can also reach me at my home number - 214-278-%70. Thank
you for your support, and I look forward to hearing from you shortly.

RESOLUTION NO. 7019
A RESOLUTION URGING THE GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF
TEXAS TO ADOPT AND ENACT LEGISLATION PROVIDING CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
FOR PERSONS WHO ABUSE AND MURDER CHILDREN, AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Garland, Texas, has
determined that Texas is experiencing an overwhelming problem with
child abuse which ultimately leads to the death of the abused
child; and
WHEREAS, though child abuse alone is a horrendous crime which
should carry a heavy penalty, child abuse resulting in death is a
crime deserving of extraordinary punishment; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Penal Code does not provide for capital
punishment for persons whose abuse of a child leads to the death of
that young victim; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to urge State lawmakers to adopt
legislation that would provide for capital punishment for those
convicted of killing a child in the course of or following a period
of abuse of the victim;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GARLAND, TEXAS:
Section 1
That the City Council of the City of Garland, Texas, urges the
Texas Legislature and the Governor to enact specific legislation
that will provide capital punishment for anyone who takes the life
of a child if it is found that the killing occurred during the
course of or following a period of physical abuse of the child by
the defendant.
Section 2
That this Resolution shall be and become effective immediately upon
and after its adoption and approval.
