LaPorte, Texas 77571 Subject: Letter of Agreement Gentlemen: This letter of agreement outlines the responsibilities assumed by the City of La Porte, Texas and the Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association as they relate to the proposed construction of a basketball court on the Fairmont Park East Community Center property.

CITY OF LA PORTE INTER OFFICE MEMORANDUM February 21, 1995 TO: Ro ert T. Herrera, City Manager FROM. fteve Gillett, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Sewer Problem - Farrington @ Collingswood Several weeks ago, the CityyIs TV and Cleaning contractor, AAA Pipe, televised the 8" sewer between Collingswood and Winding Trail from Farrington Blvd. to Valleybrook due to continual maintenance problems. The line serves over 100 homes in Fairmont Park. Severe deterioration was noted throughout the line, with a missing roof segment at the manhole in the yard at Collingswood and Farrington, just prior to emptying into the trunk main along Farrington. The line is over 18 feet deep at this point. A crew was dispatched to attempt to slipline a segment of pipe ( 6' ) in the missing segment, with limited success. Since that time, the line has continued to collapse, until Thursday, February 16, 1995, when jetting could no longer open the line to flow. Rainfall during this time compounded the problem. A plan was developed to establish by-pass pumping from the manhole to Farrington with a temporary lift station designed and installed in the manhole by the Utility Division on Friday, February 17. The installation is functioning well, and should perform until permanent repairs are completed. Soils are saturated from recent rain. It is planned to allow the ground to dry, assisted by elimination of sewer flow through the collapse area, and then reattempt to jet through the collapse and slipline a section of pipe from the manhole to complete pipe. If this is successful, trenchless technology (Insituform, sliplinning, etc.) can be used to rehabilitate the entire section for a permanent repair. If this plan is not successful, quotes will be solicited from contractors to perform a conventional point repair by excavation and replacement, with trenchless technology used to complete the repair as outlined above. obviously, with the depth and location, this method will be much more costly and time consuming, as well as disruptive to the resident. I will keep you informed of progress. xc: John Joerns, Assistant City Manager Fred Thompson, City Engineer EXHIBIT A. 4 Milton T. Fisher (THEO) Theo began working with the City of La Porte as the Parts Manager in Equipment Services in July, 1984. He had an extensive background in Auto Parts Supply in the private sector. For a period of time he owned and operated his own transmission shop. During his employment with the City, Theo worked very hard to always find the least expensive and most reliable source for auto parts. He was constantly checking suppliers for prices and for availability of parts. His background and expertise in the auto parts field will be missed in the Equipment Services division. Theo and his wife, Joy, plan to spend their retirement visiting relatives, working on their retirement home in Conroe, and just relaxing. Theo will be missed for his ready smile and his good humor. He was always willing to help his fellow employees get the parts and equipment needed to do their jobs. Theo served a vital function in the daily operations of the City. All of his fellow employees wish Theo and Joy the best of luck in the future and the enjoyment of their retirement. They have earned it! CITY OF LA PORTE INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor Malone and City Council Members 160 FROM: Bill Davenport, Street Supervisor DATE: February 23, 1995 SUBJECT: Information on Janice Church ( Employee of the Quarter) Janice came to the City of La Porte in 1983. Most people probably do not recognize Janice. She is our mosquito control specialist. Janice is very dedicated to her job and has attended numerous seminars to keep abreast of current regulations and to stay in touch with her peers in mosquito control. Janice has received extensive training from Harris County Mosquito Control in all aspects of controlling this pest. She has a lot of input into which products we utilize in our efforts to fight mosquitoes. A typical work week for Janice includes three nights of spraying the city for mosquitoes followed by two days of larviciding ditches and right of ways where standing water serves as a breeding ground. She also sets out and collects traps for mosquitoes. The count of dead mosquitoes in the traps lets us know where to concentrate our spraying efforts or whether to spray the entire city twice in one week. During the big flood this fall, it took all the training and expertise of Janice to bring the major outbreak of mosquitoes under control. She worked long, hard hours. Weekends were worked also in an effort to bring relief. Not once did Janice complain about the extra burden placed on her. On the contrary, she asked and looked for more that she could do to contribute. It is dedication such as this from employees like Janice that make all of our lives a little better. It is a privilege for me to be her supervisor and proudly recommend Janice Church for "Employee of the Quarter." office of the Mayor IWA ri 1 ®i r r r a o • The Ping and materials management profession has a significant role in the quakty, efficiency, and profitability of business and government throughout the United States; and WHEREAS, the purchasing and materials management profession works for private, pubhq profit and non-profit organizations, and WHEREAS, in addition to the purchase of goods and services, the purchasing and materials management profession engages in or has direct responsibility for implementing contracts, developing forecasts and procurement strategies, supervising the flow and storage of materials; and developing working relationships with other departments within the organization; and WHEREAS, the Texas Pun basing Management Association, NAPM Bay Area, Inc. and other associations around the globe are holding activities and special events to further educate and inform the general public on the role of purchasing within business, industry and government.

Barr Department: Parks & Recreation Report Resolution X Ordinance JV Exhibits: 1. Ordinance No. 95-1644-D Amending a Fee Policy and Schedule for Outdoor Municipal Swimming Pools 2. Proposal Memorandum from Kristine Hulse, Aquatics Coordinator SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The Parks and Recreation Department Staff has identified and proposed changes in the Swimming Pool Ordinance which will improve our ability to provide aquatics services to the citizens of La Porte, and make those services more equitable. Key changes in the proposed Ordinance are as follows: 1) the Wave Pool general admission fees are changed from Adult $3.50/Child $2.50 to a single rate of $3.00 for both Adults and Children who visit the Wave Pool. Proposed Wave Pool fees for Seniors would increase from $1.50 to $2.00 and the Sunsaver Fee (after 4:00 p.m.) would also increase from $1.50to $2.00each. Analysis of this proposed fee structure indicates that revenues would not be adversely affected by the change, money handling duties for cashiers would be reduced, and the change should promote additional "family use" at the pool. 2) the Season Pass fee structure has been revised to better reflect the needs of the community and to reduce the bookkeeping processes required by the variety of passes that could be purchased under the existing Ordinance. The existing pass fee schedule has eighteen (18) different fees for season passes, coupons, etc., the majority of which were seldom or never purchased by the public. The proposed pass fee schedule has seven (7) pass/coupon rates which better reflect the needs of the public for swimming pool usage. 3) the rental policy for the Little Cedar Bayou Wave Pool has been modified to allow a minimum two (2) hour rental instead of the existing minimum four (4) hour rental. There is also a provision which allows the City to receive a share of revenue generated on rentals where the producer is making a profit on an event held at these city -owned facilities. Staff recommends the approval of Ordinance 95-1644-D amending the fee policy and schedule for outdoor municipal swimming pools.

Barr Department: Parks & Recreation X Report Resolution Ordinance Exhibits: 1. Bid Recap for Project No. 94-5204 - Basketball Court Construction at Creekmont Park and Fairmont Park East Community Center 2. Change Order - Project No. 94-5204 3. Memorandum of Commitment - Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The City of La Porte has advertised for joint bids to construct a basketball court at Creekmont Park and a basketball court at Fairmont Park East Community Center. Bids were opened and read on January 24, 1995. Bid requests were issued to six vendors with four returning bids. Derek Harmsen Constructkai, Inc. submitted the low bid meeting specifications for this project, totalling $29,428.00 (after change orders). The Fairmont Park East Community Center basketball court bid share is $15,897.00. Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association has committed $15,897.00 as their share of the project funding (see attachment). The Creekmont Park basketball court bid share is $13,531.00. The amount budgeted in the FY 94-95 budget for the Creekmont Park basketball court was $12,500.00 (for a half court project). The budget shortfall for the City's share of the combined project is $1,031.00. We were able to combine the City of La Porte project with the Fairmont Park East Community Center basketball court project, and by so doing, get a whole basketball court built at Creekmont Park for slightly more than was budgeted for a half court. The budgetary shortfall can be absorbed through use of the savings realized from other FY 94-95 project savings such as the glass and casement replacement project at the Jennie Riley Center (estimated savings of $3,114.00). The proposed contractual work on the Fairmont East Community Center basketball court is contingent upon approval by the Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association of a Letter of Agreement stipulating the responsibilities of the City and the Association; and the transfer of appropriate funding to complete the project. The City of La Porte will receive the stated money from the Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association and will place it in escrow until the project is completed. Staff recommends the award of this construction project to Derek Harmsen Construction, Inc. as overall bidder meeting specifications, and the bid being within the 25% limit for budgeted funds for the specified projects. Action Required by Council: Consider award of bid for basketball court construction at Creekmont Park and Fairmont East Community Center to Derek Harmsen Construction, Inc., overall low bidder meeting specifications, contingent upon receipt of funds to be placed in escrow. Ordinance withheld and not effective until funds are received.

Herrera, City Manager FROM: eve Gillett, Director of Public Works SIIBJECT: Sewer Problem - Farrington @ Collingswood Several weeks ago, the City' s TV and Cleaning contractor, AAA Pipe, televised the 8" sewer between Collingswood and Winding Trail from Farrington Blvd. to Valleybrook due to continual maintenance problems. The line serves over 100 homes in Fairmont Park. Severe deterioration was noted throughout the line, with a missing roof segment at the manhole in the yard at Collingswood and Farrington, just prior to emptying into the trunk main along Farrington. The line is over 18 feet deep at this point. A crew was dispatched to attempt to slipline a segment of pipe (61) in the missing segment, with limited success. Since that time, the line has continued to collapse, until Thursday, February 16, 1995, when jetting could no longer open the line to flow. Rainfall during this time compounded the problem. A plan was developed to establish by-pass pumping from the manhole to Farrington with a temporary lift station designed and installed in the manhole by the Utility Division on Friday, February 17. The installation is functioning well, and should perform until permanent repairs are completed. Soils are saturated from recent rain. It is planned to allow the ground to dry, assisted by elimination of sewer flow through the collapse area, and then reattempt to jet through the collapse and slipline a section of pipe from the manhole to complete pipe. If this is successful, trenchless technology (Insituform, sliplinning, etc.) can be used to rehabilitate the entire section for a permanent repair. If this plan is not successful, quotes will be solicited from contractors to perform a conventional point repair by excavation and replacement, with trenchless technology used to complete the repair as outlined above. Obviously, with the depth and location, this method will be much more costly and time consuming, as well as disruptive to the resident. I will keep you informed of progress. xc: John Joerns, Assistant City Manager Fred Thompson, City Engineer
