RECEIVED SEP ,9 199,~ CITY MANAGERS OFFICE e e . WHAT IS BOYS STATE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM. . . Boys State is a plan for teaching the functional aspects of citizenship. It is a program of education sponsored by The American Legion, Department of Texas. Its puwose is to teach the youth of today constructive attitudes toward the American form of government. Boys State attempts to show that a democracy needs an intelligent citizenry as well as a clean, honest, andimpanial administration responsive to the will of the people. The objective of the Boys State is to "educate our youth in the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship." It is. wholly a plan for training in the practical aspects of government. It is functional in that applications of the principles of democratic government are made in every way possible. The Constitution and the Statutes of the State of Texas are the patterns from which the fundamental law of The American. Legion Boys State has been developed. Boys State should be thought of as being a mythical 5 I st State with a constitution, statutes, and ordinances constructed by its citizens to govern themselves. A "LEARN BY DOING" APPROACH · · - Citizens of Boys State not only will be required to review knowledge already acquired concerning the political machinery of a commonwealth, but they will find themselves performing exactly the same functions as real officeholders in the everyday world. In Boys State, citizens organize their own city, county and state governments. They choose their own officials in accordance with regular election procedures. They learn the duties of the various city, county, and state officers, and they introduce and argue their own bills in a Legislature. Justice is administered by their own law enforcement agencies and courts. In Boys S tate, the young citizen has the opportunity to learn for himself that his government is just what he makes it. Here each boy "LEARNS TO DO BY DOING." The entire program is non-partisan. Problems will be considered without reference to any existing political party and will be free from propaganda. The sole purpose is to enable the boy to grasp the meaning of some of the responsibilities which he will be called upon to assume when he becomes an adult. It should be distinctly understood that the selection and assignment of these boys to parties is in no way connected with the existing political parties in Texas. The "political parties" in Boys State are called "Nationalists" and "Federalists." They are purely mythical and none of the principles typifying any of the existing parties will be adopted by the parties in Boys State. 14 e e HISTORICAL SKETCH OF BOYS STATE ... The youth movement in the United States known as Boys State originated by the Illinois Department of The American Legion in 1934. The plan was adopted by the national organization in 1935, and has since been put into operation in forty-eight states. Our two most recent states, Hawaii and Alaska, do not operate their own programs but do send delegates to other states. A Boys State is operated in the Panama Canal Zone and the District of Columbia. By authority of a mandate of the 1939 Department Convention held in Waco, Texas, the Americanism Committee met in Austin with Commander Lou Roberts of Borger and made plans for the first Boys State of Texas. Carrie Wilcox, Department Historian of the Texas American Legion. describes the first Lone Star Boys State in her book, The American Legion in Texas. as follows: This program, new in Texas, was destined to grow in scope and value. Lee O. Smith of Beaumont headed a staff of capable, enthusiastic counselors as 108 boys registered for Lone Star Boys State in Austin, lune 10, 1940. The boys, under the di~tion of the staff. were divided into three political parties. They elected a full complement of state, county. and city officials. Their elections were held on Tuesday and their state government functioned until the close of the meeting on Saturday. lune 15. Conferences were held during the week in which counselors lectured on the Constitution and the separate branches of government. Citizenship bureaus and courts functioned and bills were ckawn up and passed. The boys edited and published a daily paper. The Lone Star Stater. which became the official publication of the organization. The groups were housed in Prather Hall at The University of Texas. The climaxing affairs included the Governor's Ball. honoring the governor of Boys State and his staff. lohn Robert Lee Keig.lr. of Beaumont was elected governor and Grady Baskin of Cameron, lieutenant governor. The boys told the counselors at the close of the program that they had learned more about the operation of the state and municipal governments in the brief period of Boys State than at any other time in their lives. From the beginning of Boys State described above, the Texas Boys State has grown in program and in numbers to meet the needs of the youth of Texas. The present program includes approximately nine hundred of the youth leaders of our state each year. Participants are selected on a competitive basis by the local high schools and Legion Posts throughout the State of Texas. The staff serving Boys State is made up of men of the Legion, Legislators and former Boys Staters who voluntarily give of their time and energies to this program of citizenship development. Most of these men are outstanding in the field of education, law and government who leave their busy jobs and come into Austin to serve their state and nation by helping the young leaders learn better how to perform their responsibilities of a free citizen. The staff will include many individuals serving in the capacities of counselors. junior counselors and administrative staff. Former Boys Staters are called upon to serve as junior counselors or advisors to the Boys Staters. Many of these boys have served faithfully for many years and are promoted to the senior status upon the completion of their education. Thanks to The University of Texas, Boys State in Texas enjoys the finest facilities in which to carry out the program. The program has received the "red-carpet" treatment each year as it returns for another session.

The request, submitted by Jan Stevenson, the property owner, seeks to rezone Lots 1-4 and Tract 19A (railroad right-of- way); Block 7 out of the Bay Oaks Subdivision. The tract in question is presently zoned R-1, Low Density Residential. The applicant is requesting a rezoning to Manufactured Housing. In considering this request, the Commission has made the following determinations: . This request does not conform to the intent or recommendations of the City's Comprehensive Plan. . The recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for this area are sound and were not made in error. . There have been no changes to the tract in question or the surrounding area that warrant amending the Comprehensive Plan to accommodate the requested rezoning. 1'.0.B,'x1115.

Lots 1-4 and Tract 19A (railroad right-of-way); Block 7; Bay Oaks Subdivision which is further described as being located in the 200 and 300 blocks of Dwire Drive. (See Exhibit A) Janet A Stevenson, property owner R-1, Low Density Residential Manufactured Housing (MH) The property in question is located in the Bay Oaks Subdivision. This subdivision was originally platted in May, 1929. It was taken into the City on December 12, 1988, as part of the Bayshore Municipal Utility District (Bay MUD) annexation. Following annexation, a temporary zoning classification of R-1, Low Density Residential was placed on the entire former Bay MUD area, including the Bay Oaks Subdivision. On June 12, 1989, with passage of Ordinance 1501-J, permanent zoning designations were assigned to the newly annexed area. R-1, Low Density Residential is the permanent designation that has been assigned to the area which includes the Bay Oaks Subdivision. The boundaries of this zone are illustrated on Exhibit liB". Prior to annexation, Mrs. Stevenson, the property owner had a number of manufactured homes moved onto the tract in question. These homes are now classified as pre-existing nonconforming structures. As such, they are regulated by the provisions of Zoning Ordinance Section 4-201. Subsequent to annexation, Mrs. Stevenson made application to operate the tract in question as a manufactured housing park. Rezoning Request #R93-002 J an Stevensonj8-1D-93 Page 2 of 5 Analvsis: e e The City refused to issue a license. While the City, as required by ordinance, will continue to respect the nonconforming status of manufactured homes legally in place prior to annexation, the Zoning Ordinance does not allow mobile homes to be established in R-l, Low Density Residential Zones. Mrs. Stevenson, as stated on her application, is requesting this rezoning in order to allow a manufactured housing park to be established and operated on the subject tract. It should be noted that rezoning the property to MH would not grant or infer an operating license.!t would only constitute a step that is a prerequisite for obtaining a license. Zoning Ordinance Section 1-200 states: "The zoning regulations and district as herein established have been made in accordance with a Comprehensive Plan for the purpose of promoting health, safety, morals, and the general welfare of the City of La Porte." Section 1-300 states: "It is the policy of the City...that enforcement, amendment and administration of this ordinance be accomplished with due consideration of the recommendations contained in the Comprehensive Plan...." In light of the above statements, there are three factors that can provide grounds for granting a rezoning request. They are as follows: . The request conforms with the intent and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. . The recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, regarding the area in question were made in error. . Circumstances regarding the area in question, have (since the date of Plan adoption) changed sufficiently to warrant amending the Comprehensive Plan. Rezoning Request #R93-002 Jan Stevensonj8-10-93 Page 3 of 5 e e In order to justify a rezoning of property, it is necessary to demonstrate that at least one of the above criteria has been satisfied. It should be noted that the burden of proof, in terms of justifying the rezoning, is placed on the applicant. This request does not conform with the intent and recommendations of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Following the 1988 Bay MUD annexation, the Planning and Zoning Commission began the task of integrating the newly annexed area into the City's Comprehensive Plan. On April 27, 1989, the Commission issued the Preliminary Report Regarding Permanent Zoning Classifications to be Assigned to Property Annexed into the City of La Porte by Ordinance #1626. This report, which was adopted by reference as a part of Ordinance 1501-J, has been endorsed by the Planning and Zoning Commission as an appendix to the Comprehensive Plan. The report excerpt, which has been attached as Exhibit "C" details the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for the Bay Oaks Subdivision and the surrounding area. In brief, the Plan, as it applies to this request, recommends a land use of "Low Density ResidentiaL Land Use". This recommendation is borne out in the R-1 zoning that has been assigned to the area. The zoning and land use designations are intended to both conserve and promote neighborhoods of single family homes on individual lots. A manufactured housing park does not conform to the recommendations and regulations established for this area by the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan regarding this area have not been made in error. As detailed in Exhibit "C", the recommendations of the Plan were made with consideration given not only to the character and history of Bay Oaks, but also that of surrounding neighborhoods and developments. One of the intents of the Comprehensive Plan is to effectively integrate different areas in a manner that benefits the City as a whole. The R-1 zoning, in conjunction with the Low Density Residential land use designation is not Rezoning Request #R93-002 J an Stevensonj8-10-93 Page 4 of 5 e e only appropriate for the Bay Oaks Subdivision, it also serves to conserve and enhance property values in both the Bayside Terrace Subdivision to the north and the residential communities to the south in the City of Shoreacres. There has been, since the time of Plan implementation, no change to the tract in question or the surrounding area that warrants either a rezoning or an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant has not demonstrated that a need for additional manufactured housing parks has arisen since the time of Plan adoption. Even if a need were shown, the applicant has not justified this location, in an existing residential neighborhood, as opposed to a less intrusive location in an otherwise undeveloped area. In fact, rather than changes that would warrant a rezoning, development activity since annexation would appear to affirm the intent and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. The majority of the Bay Oaks Subdivision is developed. Although there are a number of mobile and manufactured homes in the subdivision, the majority of the homes are conventionally built single family homes. Since implementation of the plan, one new single home has been built. Another existing home has been moved into the subdivision and completely renovated. A new bayfront home is scheduled for construction in the fall. This construction activity would appear to affirm the Plan's intent that this area in general, and Bay Oaks in particular be preserved as a neighborhood for single family homes as the means to achieve the highest and best use of property in this part of the City. As there has been no change in the condition and circumstances surrounding this area that justify a rezoning, the R-l designation is still the most appropriate zoning for the tract in question. Rezoning Request #R93-002 Jan Stevensonj8-10-93 Page 5 of 5 Conclusion: e e . This request. does not conform to the intent or recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan . The Comprehensive Plan did not err in its recommendations regarding land use and zomng designations for the area in question. There have been no changes within the area in question that warrant an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. A need for additional MH zoning within the City has not been demonstrated. Based on the above listed considerations, staff recommends denial of Zoning Request #R93-002.

Although the Bay Oaks Subdivision is subject to many of the .. .::J!!!!!I problems found in Pine Bluff, it is felt that R-1 zoning with underlying Low Density land use is the most appropriate cesignation to be applied here. This opinion is held for the following reasons. 1. Bay Oaks is a deed restricted neighborhood and the subdivision civic association is working to bring the neighborhood back into compliance with subdivision covenants. -- 2 . The subdivision is confined to a relatively narrow tract of land and is sandwiched between Bayside Terrace which is '!!! proposed to rema in as P . ,,- I and the City of Shoreacres which also has zoned its adjacent property for single family .. dwellings. ~ Aft e r vi e i g h i n g ~ v ~ ' .

The Board is composed of six members. Members serve two-year terms, and the tenns of members currently serving expire December 31, 1993. This memorandum sets out the process we will follow in selecting members for the two-year tenn ~at begins January 1, 1993. . Participating Units The current method of selecting directors was established by resolutions of the county, cities, and school districts participating in the appraisal district in 1981 and was modified by action of the board of directors in 1991. Under Sec. 6.031, Tax Code, an appraisal district may vary both the size and the method of selecting its board members. The Harris County Appraisal District Board of Directors consists of six members, selected as follows. · One member appointed by Harris County Commissioners Court · One member appointed by the Houston City Council · One member appointed by the Board of Trustees of the Houston Independent School District. · One member appointed by majority vote of the city councils of the cities other than Houston. ~Each council casts a single vote. · One member appointed by majority vote of the boards of trustees of the school districts other than Houston Independent School District. Each board casts a single vote. · One member appointed by majority vote of the governing bodies of those conservation and reclamation districts that levied a property tax in 1993 and also plan to levy in 1994. Each body casts a single vote. . e e Presiding Officer September 3, 1993 Page 2 Eligibility Requirements An individual must satisfy certain residency, employment, and conflict-of-interest requirements to be eligible to serve on the board of directors. Residency: The candidate must be a resident of the Harris County Appraisal District, and must have resided in the district for at least two years immediately preceding the date he or she takes office. Employment: An employee of a taxing unit served by the appraisal district ~ay not serve unless the employee is also a m~m~r-:cof the governing body or -an elected -official of'a taxing unit that participates in the district. For example, a member of the governing body of a school district who is also a city employee would be eligible to serve on the appraisal district's board of directors. Elected officials or members of governing bodies who are not employed by taxing units may serve on the board. Conflict-of-interest: A candidate may not serve if the candidate is related to a person who is in the business of appraismg property or represents property owners for a fee in proceedings in the appraisal district. Relatives baiTed are those within the second degree by consanguinity (blood) or affinity (marriage). These persons include: spouse; children; brothers and sisters; parents; grandparents; grandchildren; aunts and uncles; and bothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. The spouse I s relatives in the same degree are included. . A candidate who contracts with the appraisal district for any purpose or with a taxing unit served by the district for a property tax related purpose may not serve. The same role applies to candidates who have a substantial interest in businesses contracting with the appraisal district or with the taxing unit (for property tax purposes). A candidate has a substantial interest if the candidate or the candidate's spouse have combined ownership of at least ten percent (10%) of the voting stock or shares of the business. A candidate also has a substantial interest if the candidate or the candidate's spouse is a partner, limited partner, or an officer of the business. These prohibitions on contracting continue for the duration of the affected director's tenn of office. The appraisal district may not employ any person who is related to an appraisal district director. The provision applies to existing employees at the time the director takes office and to employees hired during the director's tenn.

Prior use of the artificially coated materials have shown a tendency to bleed through and requires more maintenance to keep the road surface acceptable to traffic. Vulcan Materials Company is the sole supplier of the naturally impregnated limestone rock asphalt aggregate in Texas. No other company has bid on this material in the past. Vulcan Materials Company has agreed to maintain the prices bid last year for another one year contract. The prices are as follows: Material Charge - PE-2 Material = $10.50 per ton PE-4 Material = 11.00 per ton Freight Charges (All Types of Materials) - Rail Freight to La Porte = $16.24 per ton Rail Freight + Trucking = 16.45 per ton Staff recommends declaration of Vulcan Materials Company as sole source supplier of Naturally Impregnated Limestone Asphaltic Aggregate. Using estimated yearly quantities, the cost of this contract for materials would be $27,000.00. Estimated freight charges would be $41,125.00. Funds for this purchase are budgeted in the Street Division's 1993/94 Operating Budget. Action Required by Council: Declare Vulcan Materials as sole source supplier of Naturally Impregnated Limestone Asphaltic Aggregate and award annual supply contract.

Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77572-1115 -~ Dear BOb': / -2/2+----- /; This is to request that the City of La Porte give favorable consideration to the proposal to perform Police Dispatch and Jail services for the City of Shoreacres. As you are aware, Chiefs Powell of La Porte and Wheatley of Shoreacres have spent a considerable amount of time and effort to ensure that all matters of mutual concern between the cities have been resolved. As a result of the extensive and excellent effort between the two Chiefs, I feel confident that this agreement would be in the best interest of both cities for a number of reasons. Among them: It provides complete communications for all members of the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). An item that has been a problem in the past. It provides a Mutual Services for all three cities in the Bayshore area, i.e., La Porte, Morgans Point and Shoreacres. This should help in solidifying efforts for grant requests, etc. that are looked upon more favorably when its a cooperative effort. It will allow immediate response for both La Porte and Shoreacres ~n the event of mutual assistance. It allows us to utilize our resources much more effectively in that now, if we have to transport a person to Harris County for incarceration, it can (and has) taken our officer off the streets for periods of up to 8-10 hours. e e Page 2 of 2 It is my understanding that for the first years service, a figure of $10,000 was determined by Chief Powell using per capita figures. That figure is completely acceptable to the City of Shoreacres. Upon concurrence of the City of La Porte, the changeover should take a minimal amount of time since the City of Shoreacres has the capability and the equipment for immediate transition from the UHF frequencies to the VHF frequencies with no problems. Also, in the matter of communications, I want to note that Fire Department communications will also be enhanced with this move. As you may be aware, we are in the process of removing our 80 foot water tower which has the La Porte Fire Department antenna located on it. I have been working this (both verbally and in writing) with Champ Dunham since early April when we made the decision to remove the tower for safety considerations. He has assured me that the Fire Department facility located within Shoreacres will not be affected. We look forward to this arrangement and your favorable response. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Very truly yours, I "_,~ t, ! / . / ,~/ _' /t ' t-- . / /;::'_ :"./ /, "",or"'-_ Robert H .-plaumann Mayor xc: Chief Bobby Powell, La Porte PD City Council, City of Shoreacres Chief John Wheatley, Shoreacres PD ~e LA .. . ..

We are a chapter of the Bay Area Affiliate of the HFH International Organization, incorporated and with tax exempt status. The purpose of HFH is to improve the quality of lives and the community by assisting families in building and owning decent and ade- qua t e housing. It benefits the local neighborhood, the wider communit y and the families that become home ownel'S. This is done wi th volunteer labor, management expertise, and tax-deductible donations of money, land, and materials and with the help of the future home owners. This is not a give away program, but a partnership with the needy, IIFH receives no government funds but is supported by individuals, businesses and churches. The Ba)" Area Affili- ate started construction on their 1st. house in mid-91. At present, they have started construction on their 5th house in DicIcinson. They have no paid staff and administrative expense is running about 6%. (80% of this is for fund raising/publicity.) The La Porte HFH site selection committee is presently evaluating locations in La Porte for target areas that meet our criteria. It is our understanding that the City owns property that is not yielding tax revenue. It is requested that the City leaders consider entering into a joint venture with the La Porte HFH group in developing areas to meet this need by making selective parcels of this property available as reasonable as possible. This would permit the City to return this prop- erty to the tax rolls as soon as construction is completed on each site. See attached Fact Sheet for detail on HFH.

Fact Sheet "A decent house in a decent community for God's people in need" What is Habitat for Humanity International? Founded in 1976 by Linda and Millard Fuller, Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical, Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. By having needy and affluent people work together in equal partnership, Habitat builds new relationships and a sense of community as well as new housing. How does it work? Through volunteer labor, management expertise, and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates homes with the help of the homeowners. Houses are sold at no profit to partner families, and no-interest mortgages are issued over a fixed period. Costs of homes differrelative to location,labor,land and materials. Currently, a Habitat house in the United States costs homeowners an average of approximately $35,000, while houses in developing countries average about $2,000. Small monthly mortgage payments, including tax~s and insurance, are repaid over 7 to 20 years and deposited into a revolving "Fund for Humanity" which supports the construction of more houses. How does the partnership with homeowners work? Habitat is not a giveaway program, but is a joint venture in which those who benefit from the housing ministry are involved in the work at various levels. Each homeowner family is required to invest "sweat equity" hours into the construction of their home. This reduces the cost of the house, increases the pride of ownership among family members, and fosters the development of positive relationships with other persons. How are the partner families selected? Families apply to local Habitat projects. A family selection committee chooses homeowners based on their level of need, their willingness to become partners in the program, and their ability to repay the loan. Every project follows a non- discriminatory policy of family selection. Neither race nor religion is a factor in choosing the families to receive Habitat houses. How does Habitat work with the government? Habitat does not accept government money for construction of new houses, renovation or repair of existing houses, or the general operating expenses of projects. Habitat does, however, accept funds for the acquisition of streets, utilities, land, or old houses needing rehabilitation, provided those funds have no provisions attached which would violate Habitat's principles. How widespread is Habitat for Humanity International? Habitat for Humanity International is growing rapidly. There are over 650 affiliated projects in the United States, and more than 100 other projects in 33 other countries. Who controls and manages Habitat for Humanity International? An ecumenical board of 27 people meets three times a year to determine policy and monitor operations in conjunction with a larger Board of Advisors. Primarily dependent upon volunteer labor, Habitat for Humanity's international headquarters operates with an administrative staff, assisted by a core group of paid clerical and support people and supplemented by long- and short-term volunteers. Each Habitat for Humanity affiliate and sponsored project is managed by a local volunteer board. e e What is the difference between a sponsored and an affiliate project? Sponsorship means that Habitat for Humanity International takes full responsibility for funding and for securing Habitat volunteers for the project. At this time, all Habitat sponsored projects are located in Latin America, the Caribbean, across Africa, into Asia and the Pacific, and beginning in Eastern Europe. Affiliated projects are independent, non-profit organizations which are responsible for their own fund-raising, publicity, volunteer recruitment and staffing. The international headquarters offers advice and assistance to all projects. How are donations distributed and used? Donations are distributed as designated by the donor. All gifts received by the international headquarters, designated for a specific project, are forwarded to that project. Any undesignated gifts are used where needed overseas and for administrative expenses, An audited financial statement is available upon request. Does Habitat for Humanity have other programs? Many special programs within Habitat for Humanity support the ministry's housing mission. Four of them are: the Covenant Church Program, which involves churches and synagogues in contributing financially and prayerfully to Habitat; Vision Habitat, which provides needed eyeglasses for developing countries and money for overseas housing; the Campus Chapters program, which involves educational institutions of all types in working toward solving the housing problem; and the Habitat for Humanity with Disabilities program, which provides technical and financial as- sistance to affiliated and sponsored projects in building barrier-free homes for persons with disabilities. Other major programs include: The International Day of Prayer and Action for Human Habitat, observed under Habitat for Humanity sponsorship the third Sunday of September every year; Habitat for Homeless Humanity, which assists affiliated projects in addressing the homeless problem through networking, cooperation, and partnership with other organizations which work with the homeless population; and House-Raising Week Worldwide, which each summer focuses on Habitat con- struction during a single week. The Jimmy em"ter Work Pmject, a week-long blitz-building program conducted every summer in a different city, is the focal point of House-Raising Week Worldwide. Another project is the Global Village program, which sends volunteer work camps overseas, at the participants' expense, for two- and three-week periods to help at Habitat sponsored projects. How does a Habitat for Humanity project get started? Habitat for Humanity is a grass-roots movement. Anyone who wants to explore the possibility of eliminating poverty housing in his or her community is encouraged to contact Habitat's international headquarters for information. Printed materials are available. How can I become a volunteer? Volunteer information and applications are available from the international headquarters. Habitat needs volunteers to work in u.s, projects as well as at headquarters. We also need partners to work in developing countries, making at least a three-year commitment which includes a period of training at international headquarters. Experience with a local affiliate or a campus chapter is highly desirable for people interested in applying for volunteer service. How else can I help? Spread the word! Provide individual and group prayer support. Give slide presentations, raise money, distribute Habitat for Humanity literature to friends. Invite friends, church groups, business, civic organizations, and fraternal benefit societies to a Habitat for Humanity presentation or speech. Contact the Speakers Bureau at Habitat for Humanity's international headquarters and arrange speakers on Habitat topics for audiences around the United States and Canada, And, of course, you can send a check either as a gift or a no-interest loan.
