Sum man' & R.ecommendation
The Planning & Zoning Commission, during its November 18, 1999 meeting, held a public
hearing to receive citizen comments regarding Rezone Request #R99-003. The request,
submitted by Mr. Frank Pickens, seeks to have lot 109, Block 8, Spencer Highway Estates, La
Porte, Harris County, rezoned from Low Density Residential (R-l) to General Commercial (GC).
The property is located at 3709 Clarksville Street and is adjacent to two other lots fronting
Spencer Highway zoned General Commercial. The applicant intends to remodel the building and
improve the site in general.
The tract in question is occupied by a pre-existing non-conforming structure (approximately
1500 sq.ft. in size) used as a contractor's office. The facility was constructed prior to November
29, 1971. This is the date when Spencer Highway Estates was annexed into the City of La Porte.
At the time of annexation, the property in question was assigned a zoning classification of Low
Density Residential (R-l). This was done under the provisions of Ordinance 780 in effect at that
time. On January 26, 1987, the property on lots 107 and 108, block 8 facing Spencer Highway
was zoned general commercial as a part of the comprehensive rezoning of La Porte in
conjunction with the City's present Ordinance No. 1501.
Staff has reviewed the applicant's request and found it to be reasonable. The tract in question is
suited for the requested zoning. With the adjoining commercial lots facing Spencer Highway,
the use will be compatible with the character of the surrounding and adjacent areas. The
underlying land use and development pattern also conforms to the intended use. The
development within the subject tract should not negatively impact the surrounding properties and
should not harm the value of the nearby properties.
For the public hearing, 13 notices were mailed to surrounding property owners. Two were in
favor and one opposed it. After receiving public input, the Planning and Zoning Commission, by
unanimous vote, has recommended approval of Rezone Request #R99-003.
Action Reouired bv Council: Consider approval of an Ordinance rezoning lot 109, block 8,
Spencer Highway Estates from Low Density Residential (R-l) to General Commercial (GC).

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
At the July 26, 1999, City Council meeting, Council authorized $198,600.00 for payment of architect's and related
consultants' fees to Hall/Barnum Architects for design of the new community library.
Staff would like to provide Council a status report of activity to date. The architect has completed actual design
of the library facility based on the Master Program Plan, which resulted from community, City of La Porte, and
Harris County input, and approval by Council earlier this year.
The library's design of 23,357 square feet accommodates requested space requirements for all interested parties.
At this time, the architect anticipates costs of this project to remain within the projected budget estimate of
$2,715,600.00.
At a recent meeting, Harris County staff, Friends of the Library representatives, and City staff reached a
consensus for the interior layout and exterior design. Mr. Hall will present a revised layout of the interior, as well
as, an artist's rendering ofthe exterior.
Action Required by Council:
Direct the City Manager and architect to proceed with the bid process for the library project's
construction phase.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The City's fiscal year ended September 30, 1999. At that time, there were 53 outstanding purchase orders. The purchase orders
represent goods that were ordered and budgeted funds that were committed to procure items necessary to operate the City. We need to
re-establish these items for the new fiscal year. This action will have no effect on the working capital of the various funds.
A breakdown of the "open" purchase orders by operating fund are as follows:
Fund Number Amount
General Fund 31 $ 82,845
Utility Fund 18 18,150
Golf Course Fund 4 64,l1.2
Total 53 $165,314
A few examples of the "open" purchase orders are: 1) Protective wear for Police Department ordered but not received. 2) Touchread
devices to read water meters ordered but not received. 3) Grass seed for the Golf Course ordered but not received.
The above amendments will not have an impact on the projected working capital balances for the year because they were all projected
to be expended in the last fiscal year.
Action Required by Council:
Instruct the Director of Finance to amend the various operating budgets for outstanding purchase orders.

Summary & Recommendation
-
Harris County Precinct 2 is making progress and moving forward with the design of improvements to
Fairmont Parkway (SH 146 to UPRR). The County and their engineer delivered a Preliminary
Engineering Report for this project on October 13, 1999.
Attached is an overview of that report. The full report analyzes numerous aspects of the road project
including existing conditions, roadway design criteria, drainage criteria, future traffic analysis,
construction phasing, environmental concems, and cost estimates. This overview focuses on items that
directly affect the final design of the roadway.
The recommended improvements, which staff concurs with, has a preliminary estimated cost of
$3,224,861. Of this amount., the County is requesting the City's participation to be $269,074. City staff
is currently woIking with the County to reduce the City's amount by approximately $50,000.
These cost estimates do not include an amount for right-of-way acquisition. Pursuing this recommended
design will require acquisition of 11 comer cutbacks along Fainnont Parkway and additional right-of-
way along 16th Street., both north and south ofFairmont Parkway.
The recommended improvements to Fairmont Parkway are described as follows:
Construct Fairmont Parkway as a 6-1ane divided roadway with a combination raised median and
median ditch. Construct 16th Street as a 4-lane roadway for approximately 800' both north and
south of Fairmont Parkway. Make drainage improvements and continue to drain east into Little
Cedar Bayou. Construct generous turning radii at all intersections to accommodate truck traffic.
In addition to the 6-lane roadway, construct turning lanes at the following locations:
1. Eastbound Fairmont Parkway at 16th Street (left turn)
2. Eastbound Fainnont Parkway at 14'" Street (left turn)
3. Eastbound Fairmont Parkway at 13th Street (left turn Kroger Center)
4. Eastbound Fairmont Parkway at SH 146 (right turn)
5. Westbound Fairmont Parkway at 16'" Street (right turn)
All recommendations contained within the Preliminary Engineering Report are based on Harris County
criteria. The drainage systems will be designed using the 3-year design stonn. However, the drainage
impact from a future overpass at UPRR was not considered. Staff feels it is very important that the
drainage impact from a future overpass be analyzed at this time and considered with the Fainnont
Parkway improvements.
With Council's approval, the administration will write Precinct 2 and request they pursue the
recommended improvements to Fairmont Parkway. The letter will also request that the County
analyze drainage impacts from a future overpass, and that the County consider reducing the City's
level of estimated participation by approximately $50,000.

SUMMARY AND REPORT
Faormont Parkway between SH 146 and 16th Street
Summarized from: PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT
Prepared By: TSC Engineering Company
This report summarizes a Preliminary Engineering Report prepared by TSC
Engineering Company and Klotz Associates. These companies were hired by
the Harris County Public Infrastructure Department (HCPID) on June 1, 1999 to
conduct a preliminary engineering investigation for improvements to Fairmont
Parkway, from 500 feet west of 16th Street to SH 146. The Preliminary
Engineering Report covers the topies of existing conditions, roadway design
criteria, drainage design criteria, recommendations for improvements, and
construction cost estimates. This preliminary engineering report will be the basis
for the proposed roadway geometries including number of lanes, corner
enhancements, deceleration lanes, median openings, signalization,
environmental concerns, pipeline and utility relocation, and drainage
improvements. The City and HCPID will review and consider the Preliminary
Engineering Report before final design of this project begins.
ANAL YSIS OF IEXISTING CONDITIONS
lE)Kis~ill'1lg Roadways - Fairmont Parkway is a four-lane, divided asphalt
pavement roadway with a shallow median ditch from the UPRR tracks to 13th
Street, and a reinforced concrete with curb and gutter roadway from 13th Street to
SH 146. Fairmont Parkway is classified as a major thoroughfare.
16th Street is a two-lane open ditch asphalt roadway, south of Fairmont Parkway,
and a two-lane open ditch concrete roadway north of Fairmont Parkway. The
City's current Thoroughfare Plan classifies 16th Street as a secondary arterial,
however, recent iraffic count information does not support this high of a
designation.
Development in Project Area - There is a significant amount of retail, service,
and restaurant activity along Fairmont Parkway with industrial and trucking
activity north and south along 16th Street. All indications are that the vacant
properties adjacent to Fairmont Parkway will continue to develop with service
and retail type businesses and the areas north and south along 16th Street will
develop with industrial activities.
Traffic Voh.!lmes - A Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared by Klotz Associates
which included existing traffic counts. Along Fairmont Parkway the 1999 average
traffic volume is approximately 13,300 vehicles ~er day (vpd) with the peak traffic
volume occurring between 5 and 6 p.m. On 16t Street, the 1999 average traffic
Page 1 of 5
e e
volume is approximately 900 vpd northbound south of Fairmont Parkway, and
2,350 vpd southbound north of Fairmont Parkway. On 14th Street the average
traffic volume is approximately 490 vpd southbound north of Fairmont Parkway.
lRoglhlt-of-Way - The existing right-of-way on Fairmont Parkway varies from 263
feet wide at 16th Street to 125 feet wide at SH 146. The existing right-of-way
along Fairmont Parkway is adequate for the proposed roadway improvements
with the exception of additional corner clips that are needed at the intersections
of 13th, 14th, and 16th Street. Additional right-of-way will also be required north
and south along 16th Street to accommodate the roadway improvements.
Dl7'aoll1age - Stormwater runoff from the areas adjacent to F airmont Parkway, 16th
Street, and 14th Street is now collected through a combination of roadside
ditches, a large median ditch, and underground storm sewers. This water
eventually flows east under SH 146 and discharges into Little Cedar Bayou.
l?opeOines - There is an existing Exxon Pipeline Company easement along the
south side of Fairmont Parkway, from UPRR to 16th Street, which contains one
10" nitrogen pipeline. There is an existing Exxon Pipeline Company easement
along the west side of 16th Street north and south of Fairmont Parkway which
contains two 8" nitrogen pipelines and both cross Fairmont Parkway.
Ul~mties - There are existing water and sewer lines within the Fairmont Parkway
and 16th Street right-of-way which are maintained by the City and the La Porte
Area Water Authority. Reliant Energy (HL & P) only has aerial power lines within
the project lim its. Entex owns gas lines within the project lim its, and
Southwestern Bell owns underground cables within the Fairmont Parkway project
limits.
ROA-IOWA" DIES~GN CRITERIA
Roadway geometry recommendations, cross-street turning radii, auxiliary (turn)
lanes, median openings, lane assignments, and the design of 16th Street were all
provided in the Traffic Impact Analysis. The roadway design speed is 45 MPH
for Fairmont Parkwal and an 18-wheeler design vehicle was used for the design
of turning radii at 16 Street and at SH 146.
IORADNAGE DES~GN CRITERIA
The project will be designed using a combination of roadside ditches, median
ditches, and underground storm sewer. City of Houston 3-year storm design
curves will be used to size the storm sewer system. A drainage analysis was
performed to determine the affects this roadway project (additional concrete
impervious areas) would have on Little Cedar Bayou. After modeling the
Page 2 of 5
e e
additional storm water runoff from this project, it was determined that no
significant impact would be made to Little Cedar Bayou based on a 1 DO-year
storm.
RIECOM MENIOA 1rIONS
Right-of-Way - No right-of-way acquisition will be required along Fairmont
Parkway. However, several corner cutbacks are recommended to facilitate
construction of generous turning radii to accommodate truck traffic. The
cutbacks include all four corners of 16th Street, all four corners of 14th Street, the
southwest corner of 13th Street, and the two corners on the west side of SH 146.
Along 16th Street, additional right-of-way will be required within the first three
blocks, both north and south, along the east side of the road. The additional
right-of-way is neaded to construct the four-lane divided road section at the
intersection which then transitions back to the existing two-lane roadway
approximately 800' both north and south of Fairmont Parkway.
Pan,ing - The pavement design for Fairmont Parkway will be six-lane divided
concrete with curb and gutter (3 lanes in each direction). There will also be five
turning lanes at the following locations:
1. Eastbound Fairmont Parkway at 16th Street (left turn)
2. Eastbound Fairmont Parkway at 14th Street (left turn)
3. Eastbound Fairmont Parkway at 13th Street (left turn Kroger Center)
4. Eastbound Fairmont Parkway at SH 146 (right turn)
5. Westbound Fairmont Parkway at 16th Street (right turn)
Please note that the existing mandatory left turn lane median opening
at 1 t" Street, leading into the Kroger Center, will be eliminated. An
item of particular interest is that the engineer that prepared the Traffic
Impact Analysis observed a significantly higher number of vehicles
using the 1 j" Street entrance instead of the 1 i" Street entrance.
The six-lane roadway will transition back to the existing four-lane roadway
approximately 500' west of 16th Street.
16th Street will be a four-lane concrete road with open ditch drainage. This
design will extend for approximately 800' both north and south of Fairmont
Parkway before 16th Street transitions back to the existing two-lane roadway.
Drainage - Reinforced concrete pipe and concrete box culverts will be used for
this project. The pipe sizes will range from 18" to 60" and the boxes will range
from 6'x3' to 8'x4'. The Fairmont Parkway median ditch from 14th Street to the
UPRR tracks will be used for storm water detention. The existing 54" storm
sewer along the south side of Fairmont parkway, between SH 146 and 14th
Page 3 of 5
e e
Street, will be upgraded and replaced with a 8' x 4' box culvert storm sewer. This
combination of larger storm sewer and detention will mitigate the impact from the
additional impervious area created by this project. All storm water runoff east of
the UPRR will be directed into Little Cedar Bayou.
No analysis was performed to determine the impact a future overpass would
have on the proposed Fairmont Parkway drainage system. That analysis should
be performed in conjunction with this Preliminary Engineering Report to identify
additional drainage improvements, if needed, to accommodate a future overpass.
Pipelines - There is a potential conflict between proposed underground storm
sewer improvements and the two 8" Exxon pipelines which are located along the
west side of 16th Street north and south of Fairmont Parkway. The storm sewer
facility will have less than a foot of clearance from the two 8" pipelines. More
accurate field probings of the pipelines and minor adjustments to the storm sewer
system may eliminate this potential conflict.
Utilities - Entex has existing 8" and 2" gas lines within the Fairmont Parkway
and 16th Street right-of-way which will have to be relocated. Reliant
Energy(HL&P) has aerial power lines. Power poles along the north side of
Fairmont Parkway and along 16th Street will require relocation. Southwestern
Bell has underground cable along Fairmont Parkway and 16th Street which will
require relocation. City water and sewer lines along Fairmont Parkway will not
be in conflict with any roadway improvements. However, an 8" water line along
16th Street north of Fairmont Parkway, and a 16" LPAWA line south of Fairmont
Parkway will be under proposed pavement and their relocation should be
considered.
Railroad - When a future grade separation is constructed at the UPRR, the
Fairmont Parkway median ditch detention capacity will be reduced. This will
impact the function of the Fairmont Parkway drainage system.
Traffic Signal - Klotz Associates performed traffic signal warrant studies for 16th
Street and for 14th Street. Installation of a new traffic signal at 16th Street is
proposed for this project. However, no warrants were met at the 14th Street
intersection so no signal is proposed at this time. Future growth in the 14th Street
area along with increased vehicle volumes may warrant a signal sometime in the
future. The 16th Street traffic signal will be interconnected with the traffic signal at
SH 146 to provide for optimal timing. At a project kick-off meeting with
representatives from the engineering firms, Planning Dept. staff requested that
mast arm type signals be considered in lieu of the typical span wire configuration.
Although identical in function, the mast arm signal has a cleaner appearance
without the clutter associated with span wire signals.

PRELIMINARY ESTIMA TIED CONSTRUCTION COSTS
A preliminary construction cost estimate for the project, including a 20%
contingency is approximately $3,224,861. This preliminary cost estimate does
not include any utility relocation costs or right-of-way acquisition costs. Of the
total estimated amount, $269,074 has been calculated to be the City's level of
participation in conjunction with, 1) the third additional lane eastbound and
westbound, 2) the right turn lane eastbound at SH 146, and 3) the upgrade from
span-wire to mast-arms for the signal at 16th Street. It is staff's opinion that items
2 and 3 should be included as part of the County's participation for this project
and we will work toward that with County staff. Item 2 is estimated to cost
$20,000 and item 3 is estimated to cost 32,000. Final participation by the City
will be formalized and identified within the Interlocal Agreement which is being
drafted by the County.

Report Resolution XX Ordinance
Exhibits: 1. Ordinance 99- ClP#99-5202 - FairmoB'llt Park Baseball
Complex Concrete Sidewalk and Slab Work
2. Bid Tabulation & Bidder's List
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The City of La Porte has requested formal bids for construction of concrete
sidewalks and slab work at the Fairmont Park Baseball Complex. Bidding documents were
delivered to and a pre-bid conference was held for seven contractors. Seven contractors
returned bids for the project; the bids were opened on December 7, 1999.
The project will provide 3,120 linear feet of sidewalks connecting all three parking
areas contained in the park, with the swimming pool, baseball complex and soccer fields.
It will provide complete paving in the area of the baseball concession and pressbox. It will
also provide 2 bleacher pads and 2 handicap accessible slabs for each of the seven fields
at the complex, as well as a batting cage pad.
The low bidder meeting specifications for the project was Brooks Concrete, Inc. with a
base bid of Fifty Four Thousand Six Hundred Fifteen Dollars and Twenty Cents ($54,615.20).
The bid by Brooks Concrete, Inc., plus five percent contingency for this project, is Fifty Seven
Thousand Three Hundred Forty-Five Dollars and Ninety-Six Cents ($57,345.96), which is low
bid, overall. Funds for this project were budgeted in the FY 99-00 Capital Improvement
budget in the amount of $50,000. After review, staff recommends acceptance of the bid
by Brooks Concrete, Il11Ic. as overall low bidder meeting specifications and recommend that
the budget be adjusted to cover the project, utilizing Capital Improvement contingency
funds.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the bid submitted by Brooks Concrete, Inc., be accepted as
low bidder meeting specifications for this project.

Retiree Medical Coverage Plan
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDA nON
Council has asked that staff review the current policy of providing health insurance to retirees. The proposed changes
and additions are attached for your review.
During the workshop session, there was discussion regarding those retirees, who retired in 1993 and before, who
Council, at that time, agreed to cover at 100%. There were sixteen (16) retirees at that time on the City's medical plan.
All but one (1) are currently age 65 or older and eligible for Medicare. Staff recommends that this group of retirees
remain on their current plan since Medicare is primary with the one exception, and the City's coverage is secondary.
The proposed policy would affect fourteen (14) employees who retired in 1994 and later, and all employees retiring after
adoption. Staff recommends that if this policy is approved, it go into affect one vear from date of adootion. All current
employees will be notified in writing and through employee meetings. All affected retirees will immediately be notified
by mail, allowing them sufficient time to make any necessary arrangements.
Action Required by Council:
Consider approving ordinance to change the City of La Porte Medical Plan as it pertains to retiree medical
coverage.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Dolima Properties, L.P., has recently purchased property along Baypark Road in the City's
Bayport Industrial District. The property was formerly covered by a 1993 series Industrial
District Agreement (IDA) with ARCO Pipeline Company that will expire on December 31,
2000. This IDA is fully assignable to the new property owner, Dolima Properties, L.P.
It has been the City's practice to enter into separate IDAs with new property owners. By
doing so, this will help clarify the situation for our Industrial District appraiser and also
simplify our record keeping. The new IDA with Dolima Properties, L.P. will expire on
December 31, 2000 as would the previous IDA. Additionally, Dolima Properties, L.P. is
seeking a Water Service Agreement with the City and the Industrial District Agreement is a
required component for water service in the industrial district.
Action Reauired bv Council:
Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing the City to enter into an Industrial District
Agreement with Dolima Properties, L.P.

STATE OF TEXAS {

COUNTY OF HARRIS {
INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AGREEMb"~
This AGREEMENT made and entered into by and between the CITY
OF LA PORTE, TEXAS, a municipal corporation of Harris County,
Texas, hereinafter called "CITY", and DOLIMA PROPERTIES, L.P. , a
Texas limited partnership, hereinafter called "COMPANY",
WIT N E SSE T H:
WHEREAS, it is the established policy of the City Council of
the City of La Porte, Texas, to adopt such reasonable measures from
time to time as are permitted by law and which will tend to enhance
the economic stability and growth of the City and its environs by
attracting the location of new and the expansion of existing
industries therein, and such policy is hereby reaffirmed and
adopted by this City Council as being in the best interest of the
City and its citizens; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to its policy, City has enacted Ordinance
No. 729, designating portions of the area located in its
extraterritorial jurisdiction as the "Battleground Industrial
District of La Porte, Texas", and Ordinance No. 842A, designating
portions of the area located in its extraterritorial jurisdiction
as the "Bayport Industrial District of La Porte, Texas" ,
hereinafter collectively called "District", such Ordinances being
in compliance with the Municipal Annexation Act of Texas, codified
as Section 42.044, Texas Local Government Code; and
WHEREAS, Company is the owner of land within a designated
Industrial District of the City of La Porte, said land being
legally described on the attached Exhibit "A" (hereinafter "Land") ;
and said Land being more particularly shown on a plat attached as
Exhibit "B", which plat describes the ownership boundary lines; a
site layout, showing all improvements, including pipelines and
railroads, and also showing areas of the Land previously annexed by
the City of La Porte; and
WHEREAS, City desires to encourage the expansion and growth of
industrial plants within said Districts and for such purpose
desires to enter into this Agreement with Company pursuant to
Ordinance adopted by the City Council of said City and recorded in
the official minutes of said City:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual agreements of the parties contained herein and pursuant to
the authority granted under the Municipal Annexation Act and the
Ordinances of City referred to above, City and Company hereby agree
with each other as follows:
Revised: Octobar 22, 1993
e e
I.
City covenants, agrees and guarantees that during the term of this
Agreement, provided below, and subject to the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, said District shall continue to retain its
extraterritorial status as an industrial district, at least to the
extent that the same covers the Land belonging to Company and its
assigns, unless and until the status of said Land, or a portion or
portions thereof, as an industrial district may be changed pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing and to
the later provisions of this Agreement, City does further covenant,
agree and guarantee that such industrial district, to the extent
that it covers said Land lying within said District and not now
within the corporate limits of City, shall be immune from
annexation by City during the term hereof (except as hereinafter
provided) and shall have no right to have extended to it any
services by City, and that all Land, including that which has been
heretofore annexed, shall not have extended to it by ordinance any
rules and regulations (a) governing plats and subdivisions of land,
(b) prescribing any building, electrical, plumbing or inspection
code or codes, or (c) attempting to exercise in any manner whatever
control over the conduct of business thereon; provided, however, it
is agreed that City shall have the right to institute or intervene
in any administrative and/or judicial proceeding authorized by the
Texas Water Code, the Texas Clean Air Act, the Texas Health &
Safety Code, or other federal or state environmental laws, rules or
regulations, to the same extent and to the same intent and effect
as if all Land covered by this Agreement were not subject to the
Agreement.
II.
In the event that any portion of the Land has heretofore been
annexed by City, Company agrees to render and pay full City ad
valorem taxes on such annexed Land and improvements, and tangible
personal property.
Under the terms of the Texas Property Tax Code (S.B. 621, Acts of
the 65th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1979, as amended), the
appraised value for tax purposes of the annexed portion of Land,
improvements, and tangible personal property shall be determined by
the Harris County Appraisal District. The parties hereto recognize
that said Appraisal District has no authority to appraise the Land,
improvements, and tangible personal property in the un annexed area
for the purpose of computing the "in lieu" payments hereunder.
Therefore, the parties agree that the appraisal of the Land,
improvements, and tangible personal property in the un annexed area
shall be conducted by City, at City's expense, by an independent
appraiser of ci ty' s selection. The parties recognize that in
making such appraisal for "in lieu" payment purposes, such
appraiser must of necessity appraise the entire (annexed and
unannexed) Land, improvements, and tangible personal property.
Nothing herein contained shall ever be interpreted as lessening the
authority of the Harris County Appraisal District to establish the
appraised value of Land, improvements, and tangible personal
property in the annexed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes.
2
e e
III.
A. On or before April 15, 1994, and on or before each April 15th
thereafter, unless an extension is granted in accordance with the
Texas Property Tax Code, through and including April 15, 2000,
Company shall provide City with a written description of its Land
and all improvements and tangible personal property located on the
Land as of the immediately preceding January 1st, stating its
opinion of the Property's market value, and being sworn to by an
authorized officer of the Company authorized to do so, or Company's
duly authorized agent, (the Company's "Rendition"). Company may
file such Rendition on a Harris County Appraisal District rendition
form, or similar form. The properties which the Company must
render and upon which the "in lieu of" taxes are assessed are more
fully described in subsections 1, 2, and 3 of subsection D, of this
Paragraph III (sometimes collectively called the "Property"). A
failure by Company to file a Rendition as provided for in this
paragraph, shall constitute a waiver by Company for the current tax
year, of all rights of protest and appeal under the terms of this
Agreement.
B. As part of its rendition, Company shall furnish to City a
written report of the names and addresses of all persons and
entities who store any tangible personal property on the Land by
bailment, lease, consignment, or other arrangement with Company
("products in storage"), and are in the possession or under the
management of Company on January 1st of each Value Year, further
giving a description of such products in storage.
C. On or before the later of December 31, 1994, or 30 days from
mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each December
31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2000, Company
shall pay to City an amount "in lieu of taxes" on Company's
Property as of January 1st of the current calendar year ("Value
Year").
D. Company agrees to render to City and pay an amount "in lieu of
taxes" on Company's Land, improvements and tangible personal
property in the unannexed area equal to the sum of:
1. (a) Fifty percent (50%) of the amount of ad valorem
taxes which would be payable to City if all of the
Company's Land and improvements which existed on
January 1, 1994, January 1, 1995, and January 1,
1996, had been within the corporate limits of City
and appraised each year by City's independent
appraiser; and
(b) Fifty-three percent (53%) of the amount of ad
valorem taxes which would be payable to city if all
of the Company's Land and improvements which
existed on January 1, 1997, January 1, 1998,
January 1, 1999, and January 1, 2000, had been
within the corporate limits of City and appraised
each year by City's independent appraiser; and
3
e e
2. (a) On any Substantial Increase in value of the Land,
improvements, and tangible personal property
(excluding inventory) dedicated to new
construction, in excess of the appraised value of
same on January 1, 1993, resulting from new
construction (exclusive of construction in
progress, which shall be exempt from taxation), for
each Value Year following completion of
construction in progress, an amount equal to Thirty
percent (30%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes
which would be payable to City if all of said new
construction had been within the corporate limits
of City and appraised by City's independent
appraiser.
(b) A Substantial Increase in value of the Land and
improvements as used in subparagraph 2(a) above, is
defined as an increase in value that is the lesser
of either:
i. at least Five percent (5%) of the total
appraised value of Land and improvements, on
January 1, 1993; or
ii. a cumulative value of at least $3,500,000.00.
For the purposes of this Agreement, multiple
projects that are completed in a Value Year can be
cumulated to arrive at the amount for the increase
in value.
(c) If existing property values have depreciated below
the value established on January 1, 1993, an amount
equal to the amount of the depreciation will be
removed from this calculation to restore the value
to the January 1, 1993, value; and
3. (a) Fifty-percent (50%) of the amount of ad valorem
taxes which would be payable to city on all of the
Company's tangible personal property of every
description, including, without limitation,
inventory, oil, gas, and mineral interests, items
of leased equipment, railroads, pipelines, and
products in storage located on the Land, if all of
said tangible personal property which existed on
January 1, 1994, January 1, 1995, and January 1,
1996, had been within the corporate limits of City
and appraised each year by the City's independent
appraiser;
(b) Fifty-three percent (53%) of the amount of ad
valorem taxes which would be payable to City on all
of the Company's tangible personal property of
every description, including, without limitation,
inventory, oil, gas, and mineral interests, items
of leased equipment, railroads, pipelines, and
products in storage located on the Land, if all of
4
e e
said tangible personal property which existed on
January 1, 1997, January 1, 1998, January 1, 1999,
and January 1, 2000, had been within the corporate
limits of City and appraised each year by the
City's independent appraiser.
with the sum of 1, 2 and 3 reduced by the amount of City's ad
valorem taxes on the annexed portion thereof as determined by
appraisal by the Harris County Appraisal District.
IV.
This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day
of January, 2000, and continuing thereafter until December 31,
2000, unless extended for an additional period or periods of time
upon mutual consent of Company and City as provided by the
Municipal Annexation Act; provided, however, that in the event this
Agreement is not so extended for an additional period or periods of
time on or before August 31, 2000, the agreement of City not to
annex property of Company within the District shall terminate. In
that event, City shall have the right to commence immediate
annexation proceedings as to all of Company's property covered by
this Agreement, notwithstanding any of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
Company agrees that if the Texas Municipal Act, section 42.044,
Texas Local Government Code, is amended after January 1, 1994, or
any new legislation is thereafter enacted by the Legislature of the
State of Texas which imposes greater restrictions on the right of
City to annex land belonging to Company or imposes further
obligations on city in connection therewith after the annexation of
such land, Company will waive the right to require City to comply
with any such additional restrictions or obligations and the rights
of the parties shall be then determined in accordance with the
provisions of said Texas Municipal Annexation Act as the same
existed January 1, 1994.
v.
This Agreement may be extended for an additional period or periods
by agreement between City and Company and/or its assigns even
though it is not extended by agreement between City and all of the
owners of all land within the District of which it is a part.
VI.
A. In the event Company elects to protest the valuation for tax
purposes set on its said properties by City or by the Harris County
Appraisal District for any year or years during the terms hereof,
nothing in this Agreement shall preclude such protest and Company
shall have the right to take all legal steps desired by it to
reduce the same.
Notwithstanding such protest by Company, Company agrees to pay to
City on or before the date therefor hereinabove provided, at least
the total of (a) the total amount of ad valorem taxes on the
annexed portions, plus (b) the total amount of the "in lieu of
5
e e
taxes" on the unannexed portions of Company's hereinabove described
property which would be due to City in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the basis of renditions
which shall be filed by Company.
When the City or Harris County Appraisal District (as the case may
be) valuation on said property of Company has been so finally
determined, either as the result of final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction or as the result of other final conclusion
of the controversy, then within thirty (30) days thereafter Company
shall make payment to City of any additional payment due hereunder
based on such final valuation, together with applicable penalties,
interests, and costs.
B. Should Company disagree with any appraisal made by the
independent appraiser selected by city pursuant to Article II above
(which shall be given in writing to Company), Company shall, within
twenty (20) days of receiving such copy, give written notice to the
City of such disagreement. In the event Company does not give such
written notice of disagreement within such time period, the
appraisal made by said independent appraiser shall be final and
controlling for purposes of the determination of "in lieu of taxes"
payments to be made under this Agreement.
Should Company give such notice of disagreement, Company shall also
submit to the City with such notice a written statement setting
forth what Company believes to be the market value of Company's
hereinabove described property. Both parties agree to thereupon
enter into good faith negotiations in an attempt to reach an
agreement as to the market value of company's property for "in
lieu" purposes hereunder. If, after the expiration of thirty (30)
days from the date the notice of disagreement was received by City,
the parties have not reached agreement as to such market value, the
parties agree to submit the dispute to final arbitration as
provided in subparagraph 1 of this Article VI B. Notwithstanding
any such disagreement by Company, Company agrees to pay to City on
or before December 31 of each year during the term hereof, at least
the total of (a) the ad valorem taxes on the annexed portions, plus
(b) the total amount of the "in lieu" payments which would be due
hereunder on the basis of Company's valuations rendered and/or
submitted to City by Company hereunder, or the total assessment and
"in lieu of taxes" thereon for the last preceding year, whichever
is higher.
1- A Board of Arbitrators shall be created composed of one
person named by Company, one by City, and a third to be
named by those two. In case of no agreement on this
arbitrator in 10 days, the parties will join in a written
request that the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of Texas appoint the third
arbi trator who, (as the "Impartial Arbitrator") shall
preside over the arbitration proceeding. The sole issue
to be determined in the arbitration shall be resolution
of the difference between the parties as to the fair
market value of company's property for calculation of the
"in lieu" payment and total payment hereunder for the
year in question. The Board shall hear and consider all
6
e e
relevant and material evidence on that issue including
expert opinion, and shall render its written decision as
promptly as practicable. That decision shall then be
final and binding upon the parties, subject only to
judicial review as may be available under the Texas
General Arbitration Act (Articles 224-238, Vernon's
Annotated Revised civil statutes of Texas). Costs of the
arbitration shall be shared equally by the Company and
the city, provided that each party shall bear its own
attorneys fees.
VII.
City shall be entitled to a tax lien on Company's above described
property, all improvements thereon, and all tangible personal
property thereon, in the event of default in payment of "in lieu of
taxes" payments hereunder, which shall accrue penalty and interest
in like manner as delinquent taxes, and which shall be collectible
by City in the same manner as provided by law for delinquent taxes.
VIII.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
City and Company, and upon Company' s successors and assigns,
affiliates and sUbsidiaries, and shall remain in force whether
Company sells, assigns, or in any other manner disposes of, either
voluntarily or by operation of law, all or any part of the property
belonging to it within the territory hereinabove described, and the
agreements herein contained shall be held to be covenants running
with the land owned by Company situated within said territory, for
so long as this Agreement or any extension thereof remains in
force. Company shall give City written notice within ninety (90)
days, with full particulars as to property assigned and identity of
assignee, of any disposition of the Land, and assignment of this
Agreement.
IX.
If city enters into an Agreement with any other landowner with
respect to an industrial district or enters into a renewal of any
existing industrial district agreements after the effective date
hereof and while this Agreement is in effect, which contains terms
and provisions more favorable to the landowner than those in this
Agreement, Company and its assigns shall have the right to amend
this Agreement and City agrees to amend same to embrace the more
favorable terms of such agreement or renewal agreement. This
Paragraph shall not apply to any Court ordered extension of the
term of the Agreement ordered in Southern Ionics, Inc. vs City of
La Porte, civil Action H-89-3969, United states District Court,
Southern District of Texas.
X.
The parties agree that this Agreement complies with existing laws
pertaining to the subject and that all terms, considerations and
conditions set forth herein are lawful, reasonable, appropriate,
and not unduly restrictive of Company's business activities.
7
e .
without such agreement neither party hereto would enter into this
Agreement. In the event anyone or more words, phrases, clauses,
sentences, paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of this
Agreement or the application thereof to any person, firm,
corporation or circumstances shall be held by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional for any
reason, then the application, invalidity or unconstitutionality of
such words, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article
or other part of the Agreement shall be deemed to be independent of
and separable from the remainder of this Agreement and the validity
of the remaining parts of this Agreement shall not be affected
thereby.
XI.
Upon the commencement of the term of this Agreement, all other
previously existing industrial district agreements with respect to
said Land shall terminate.
ENTERED INTO effective the 1st day of January, 2000.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Council has previously approved a policy for provision of potable water service to
companies outside the corporate city limits that have current Industrial District Agreements
with the City.
Dolima Properties, L.P. wishes to pursue water service under the terms and conditions
offered by the City. Based on 75 on-site employees, the average daily demand is
estimated to be 3,750 gallons. In addition, the applicant is requesting 1,096 gallons per
day (averaged from 400,000 gallons per year) to maintain and test its stand-by fire
suppression system tank. Dolima Properties, L. P. will pay one and one-half (1- %) times
the City's current rate.
The term of the Water Service Agreement is for five (5) years, plus any renewals and
extensions thereof. However, the Agreement shall automatically expire at such time as
there is no effective Industrial District Agreement between the parties or if the city
exercises the right of termination. Based on the average daily demand (domestic + fire
protection uses), the applicant is subject to an administrative connection charge in the
amount of $9,692.00 that has been paid to the City. In addition, the applicant has
submitted payment in the amount of $17,905.36 to be forwarded to Akzo-Nobel as
reimbursement for the installation of the 8" waterline along Bay Park Road that occurred in
1995.
Dolima Properties, L.P. will tie onto a water main that is existing along the west side of
Bay Park Road. Staff recommends approval of the Water Service Agreement submitted.
Action Reauired bv Council:
Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing the City to enter into a Water Service
Agreement with Dolima Properties, L.P.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
At the May 24, 1999 Public Hearing, City Council adopted Ordinance 99-2325 creating Tax Increment
Reinvestment Zone Number One. This ordinance provides for a Board of Directors for the Zone. A Board
position was reserved for taxing units levying taxes within the Zone. The ordinance further states that failure of III
taxing unit to appoint a Director by January 1, 2000 shall be deemed a waiver of the right to appoint a Director
and the City shall be entitled to fill the position.
At the meeting on July 12, City Council appointed its 6 members to the TIRZ Board and La Porte ISD has
appointed its member.
On November 1, San Jacinto College District decided not to appoint a member to the Board. The District sent a
letter declining their Board appointment since the District is not participating in the TIRZ. This allows the City
to fill this position without having to wait until January 1,2000.
Action Required by Council:
Consider approval of an ordinance appointing a member of the Board of Directors of City of La Porte
Reinvestment Zone Number One.

Report Resolution Ordinance
Exhibits: 1. Ordinance gg;3? 'Approving and Authorizing a Concession Agreement
between the City of La Porte and Linda Darnell Witt to Operate and
Manage the Sylvan Beach Park Pier.
2. Concession Agreement
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The City of La Porte through the Parks & Recreation Department has worked with Linda Witt and the Witt
family to provide concession services at the Sylvan Beach Fishing Pier since its re-opening in January
1994. The current concession contract is scheduled to expire on January 3, 2000. Since the inception of
their contract the Witt family has provided reasonable service for patrons of the pier.
This concession agreement is set to expire on October 31, 2000, in conjunction with the expiration of the
Witt's contract with Harris County to operate the Bait Camp at Sylvan Beach. By coordinating the
expiration of our contract with that of Harris County, we can piggyback off their upcoming Request For
Proposal for operation of the Bait Camp, and award our contract for pier concessions at the same time
and for the same period. This is very similar to our periodic purchase of equipment from the HGAC bid
list, in that they do the formal bid package and we use the results of their formal bid procedure for our
purchases.
It would be extremely difficult to separate the Bait Camp and Concession operations at the Sylvan Beach
Fishing Pier simply because of the logistics involved. Under terms of the Agreement, the Witts pay
electrical costs for lighting at the pier, and also pay for the coastal lease agreement out of their 1/3 share
of the revenues generated. As before, the other 2/3 shares of revenue generation (1/3 City and 1/3 County
shares) go into the escrow fund for repair of catastrophic damage to the pier, up to $150,000. The current
balance of this pier escrow fund is $114,554 as of September 30, 1999.
Except for the length of term, the base concession agreement proposed has no major changes from the
current Agreement. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Concession Agreement.
Action Required by Council: which establishes a Concession Agreement between the City
Consider approval of Ordinance 99- of La Porte and Linda Darnell Witt to operate and manage the Sylvan Beach Fishing Pier.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The City was notified several years ago that the Company (Scott Aviation), that manufacturers the
Breathing Apparatus we have used for the past 30 some years, was discontinuing the model that we are
using. This included supplying parts and support for that model. The City started setting funds aside to
replace the units with a new model Air Pak. We were originally going to fund the project over three years,
but it became apparent that we would have to spend thousands of dollars maintaining the old units with
parts that were becoming hard to obtain. In this years budget the remaining needed funds were budgeted
to replace the units, with a total of $180,000.00 allocated. By purchasing the Air Pak's from the same
manufacturer we are able to retain the air cylinders we have on our existing units and our spare units.
Additionally the manufacturer is allowing a trade in rebate for the old units of $150.00. We will be
replacing all of the Fire Department Air Paks as well as the Air Paks used by Public Works in their Water
and WasteWater divisions. In the bid was a price to replace our remaining Aluminum air cylinders with
Carbon fiber cylinders as we have been doing annually in the operating budget. We have been receiving
increasing reports of stress crack failures in the necks of the aluminum cylinders, as well as several
catastrophic failures.
Sealed bids #0790 were opened on December 6, 1999 with 3 vendors submitting bids. The low bid was from
Vall en Safety in the amount of $141,222.17 for the Air Pak replacement, and a price of $567.89 for Air
Cylinders. The City presently has 66 Aluminum air cylinders in use which would cost a total of $37,480.74.
The total bid including the air cylinder replacement would be $$178,702.91.
Action Required by Council: Approve awarding the bid to Vallen Safety in the amount of $178,702.91.

XX Report Resolution Ordinance
Exhibits: Bid Tabulation and Bidder's List
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Sealed bids were received on November 15, 1999 for the replacement of a Truck-Mounted Hydraulic Cleaning and Vacuum Truck.
This unit is used in the City's Wastewater Collection Division and is a key component of the Sewer Rehabilitation Program, used for
cleaning and televising sewer lines.
Low bid was submitted by Baker Equipment Company in the amount of $15',849.00. A trade-in allowance was requested for the
existing unit. Kinloch Equipment's bid, together with the trade-in allowance, totals $143,847.00, which is the overall apparent low bid.
However, the unit bid by Kinloch Equipment does not meet specification in one key area, the water pump.
The specifications require a triplex pump, which is a simple, reliable pump used by almost all manufacturers. The unit bid by Kinloch
Equipment is a proprietary single piston pump, and has several significant disadvantages. First, it is extremely complex both in
construction and operation, and usually requires service by the vendor, increasing maintenance costs. For example, rebuilding the
single piston pump costs between $2,000 and $4.000 parts and labor. The triplex pump can be maintained and rebuilt in house, usually
for $600 to $800 worth of parts, which are available from a variety of sources.
The second major disadvantage is the surge action inherent in the single piston pump. This surge action, while useful in sewer
cleaning, makes it impossible to use the unit to pull a TV camera due to the jerking action. The unit was bid with an accumulator,
which dampens the surge somewhat, but is unable to accommodate pressure changes in the water flow. The City currently operates a
single piston pump unit similar to the unit bid by Kinloch Equipment, and finds it necessary to utilize a trailer mounted sewer cleaner
for TV work. Cleaning the line with one unit and televising with another is inefficient and time consuming.
The total cost for the unit bid by Baker Equipment Company, less trade-in, is $152,349.00. The unit meets all key specifications. A
total of$163,044.00 is budgeted for this replacement.
Action Required by Council: Accept trade-in allowance and award bid for Truck-Mounted Hydraulic Cleaning and Vacuum Unit to
Baker Equipment in the amount $152,349.00.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA DATE December 13, 1999 REQUESTED BY Jeff Litchfield, Finance
- REPORT; - RESOLUTION; ORDINANCE; EXHIBITS; XX CONSENT AGE
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Advertised, sealed bids #0788 for Printing, Insertion, and Mailing of Utility Bills were opened and
read on November 29, 1999. Bid requests were mailed to seven (7) vendors with (3) returned bids.
QuestMark Information Management has submitted the low bid meeting specifications. Using
estimated quantities including two (2) optional inserts only, and six (6) optional printing and inserts,
the cost per year would be $54,840.00.
In preparing the FY 99-00 Budget, Finance budgeted $50,000 for this project. This Budget
projection did not include the cost of optional inserts. Even though the Bid is $54,840, since there
are only 9 months left in the fiscal year, only $40,500 will be needed in FY 99-00, well below the
$50,000 Budget.
Additional information you need to know is that the Bid includes postage. The net impact to the
City for this project is an increase of $15,000 per year.
Finance recommends accepting the low bid.
ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL:
Consider awarding bid to QuestMark Information Management for the Printing, Insertion and Mailing
of Utility Bills.
