Alexander Department: Finance Report: Resolution: Ordinance: XX Exhibits: Exhibits: Exhibits: Appropriation Source of Funds: General Fund Account Number: 6141-515-5006 Amount Budgeted: Amount Requested: Budgeted Item: YES NO SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION On April 23, 2001, the City opened proposals for Banking Services. Requests for proposals were mailed to the three local banks, SouthTrust Bank, Southwest Bank of Texas, and Bank of America. Responses were received from SouthTrust Bank and Southwest Bank of Texas. In analyzing the proposals submitted by the banks, there were three distinct areas that were reviewed. They were the cost of the proposal, financial condition of the bank, and the services provided by the bank. In reviewing the proposals, staff feels that both banks are in sound financial condition. With this in mind, we evaluated the financial impact to the City. Based on estimated annual activity that was provided in the RFP, the cost of services provided by the two responders is as follows: Southwest Bank of Texas $ 9,102.51 SouthTrust Bank $ 10,400.80 The analysis of the RFP's was presented to and approved by the Audit Committee on May 21, 2001 Based on our opinion that one respondent has the ability and commitment to offer a superior level of customer service to the City, its employees and vendors, and a lower cost of services provided, we believe that the proposal submitted by Southwest Bank of Texas provides the best overall benefit to the City of LaPorte. Action Required by Council: Adopt Ordinance approving and authorizing a Banking Services agreement with Southwest Bank of Texas for a three year term beginning August 1, 2001, with a two year renewal option, and on a month to month basis thereafter.

In addition to performing inspections and issuing permits, the County also provides the City with notification of violations, semi-annual reports and they also offer food -establishment manager training programs and certifications. In lieu of City compensation, the County agreement allows them to collect and retain the annual health permit fees from the various establishments in exchange for services rendered. The current agreement allows a five (5) year term beginning June 1, 2001 and ending on May 31", 2006. It also allows either party to terminate the agreement with a minimum thirty (30) day written notice. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance and agreement.

I'm here this evening to ask for the help of LaPorte city council. We have 179 homeowners who are going to be directly impacted -by the Bayport Container Terminal and unfortunately it is not for the better. I've lived here for 9 years and am very proud of my home and my community. We have all worked very hard to acquire our homes which did not come cheap, and I fear that this project is going to create a seriously negative effect on our property values not to mention what it will do to our environment. I wDrk for a chemical company and this may be a good thing for them ,but if I wanted to live this close to A of traffic and potentials of spills and leaks and releases I would have moved closer to the chemical plants. This terminal is basically going to be in the backyard ofBayshore Elementary School, has anyone given any real consideratiops to the health risks it will impose upon our children? I can confidently say that a minimum -of 80% "of our residents are outraged that this travesty looks as if it will happen no matter what we do. It makes me very sad to think that our objections and concerns are seemingly ignoredby the people that can put a stop to this. If Texas City wants this I say let them have it, because they are in a better position to accommodate the requirements of this type of facility with Iess impact to the environment. Wehave enough industrial businesses in our area already, this is a community Df homeowners not an industrial park! I feel that if LaPorte needs more businesses we should try to encourage light industry such as computer companies, that will not damage .the environment or put our health at greater risk. My vision of LaPorte's future � stay focused on -residential community. Will our future be..Barbours Cut and Bayport combining to take over our coastline? Everyone wants to talk the talk about sa" our environment but when it comes to walking the walk to _stand behind this issue everyone just sits back down. What can we as residents do to stop this? I'd like to see City Council take a more visible as well as financial stand against Bayport .Container Terminal. Time is quickly running out to end the Bayport Container Terminal project so I'm asking you as Community Leaders, Elected Officials and Residents of -LaPorte to stand up and helpus put a stop to this devastation of our community. Thank you.
