~UEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
AGENDA DATE July 11, 1994 REQUESTED BY Jeff Litchfield, Finance-~C
REPORT; RESOLUTION; X ORDINANCE; EXHIBITS: Contract; Calendar
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Over the last several months, City and La Porte Independent School District
staff have been working on a plan whereby the City would assume the tax
collecting operation of the District. Currently, each entity bills its tax
payers based on values reported by the Harris County Appraisal District. Both
staffs feel this duplication of effort could be stopped and tax dollars saved
if one entity collected for other. In discussions with Dr. John Sawyer, it
was determined that while both staffs had the expertise to perform the
collection operation, it currently would be a better fit for the City to
assume the responsibility for collecting for the District.
Attached is an ordinance that approves a contract with the District for the
City to assume the Tax Collecting operation of the District. The School Board
will consider this item at its meeting tomorrow, July 12th.
The agreement is advantageous to the City because it lowers its total costs to
collect taxes. Currently, the cost to collect taxes for one parcel is $6.00
per year. After the contract is approved, the City's cost to collect one
parcel will drop to $3.60. The City expects revenues from the agreement to
total $80,000 each year while annual costs will only go up $30,000.
In conjunction with approving the contract with the District, the City needs
to amend its current year budget for the addition of a new position and the
purchase of a new computer system. The budget needed for the new position is
$3,000 for the remaining portion of this year and the costs needed to be added
for a new computer system totals $25,389. Both the new position and the
computer system budget additions are contingent upon the School District
approving the agreement at their meeting tomorrow night.
As a side note, the School District currently collects taxes for the Cities of
Morgan's Point and Shoreacres. Once the agreement is reached with the School
District, a similar agreement will be offered to each of these cities.
ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL:
Approve ordinance authorizing the City to become the Tax Collector for the La
Porte Independent School District and amending the current year tax budget for
$3,000 in personal services and $25,389 in capital outlay, both being
contingent upon approval of the contract by the School District.

EST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA I~
AGENDA DATE July 11, 1994 REQUESTED BY Jeff Litchfield, Finance
_ REPORT; RESOLUTION; ORDINANCE; EXHIBITS:
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
As previously covered, the City of La Porte will soon become the tax collector
for the La Porte Independent School District. In order to successfully
complete this transformation, the City needs to improve its tax collection
computer system.
The current computer system has been in place for three years and the City has
now outgrown it. The City needs new hardware to complete the transition to
being the collector for both entities. The hardware needed to adequately run
the system is manufactured by IBM and can be purchased from the Texas State
Catalog Cooperative program. The current application software is suitable
and we desire to continue to use it.
Larry Mabe, our MIS Manager has worked with a representative of IBM and the
software provider to size a system that will adequately meet our needs. This
request has been reviewed and accepted by the City's MIS Committee.
Staff is recommending the purchase of a system that includes an A5400 9402
Model 200 with 16 MB of memory, 1.03 GB disk space, 2.5 GB cartridge tape
drive, and ASCII terminal Model 802. The projected cost of this system is
$25,389. The sizing of this system should provide adequate resources for the
tax operation for the next five years.
As with the prior request, ordering of this system is contingent upon the
successful obtainment of a contract with the School District.
ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL:
Authorize purchase of computer equipment, purchased from the Texas State
Catalog Cooperative program, for an IBM system to be operated by City
personnel in the tax billing and collecting operation.
