Zoning meeting that was held on February 5,2009. She noted the information given to the
Planning and Zoning Commission was incorrect. She advised Council that Mr. Clausen
does not have a signed conflict of interest form. She further noted the brochure shows
favoritism to the developer.
Ted Powel, 1700 Roscoe, noted concerns with the public safety of the children and the
proposed location of Bayshore Elementary School. He questioned why Mr. Clausen was
able to speak at the meeting on February 5th of the Planning and Zoning Meeting, and

Councilmember Clausen requested the public stay to hear his response to their comments
during petitions and remonstrance's section of the agenda:
Mr. Clausen noted it was a waste of the City's time to be addressing the location of the
school. This is a school matter that has nothing to do with the City.
Mr. Clausen noted he is not a contractor for the school and that he is simply a school
employee of the school district.
Mr. Clausen told the public that they need to get their facts straight.
Mr. Clausen told the public that none of them had tried to contact him to discuss these
matters.
Mr. Clausen noted he spoke at the Planning and Zoning meeting because he was asked a
question. That was the only time he spoke during that meeting. He further noted that
people were rude and disruptive at that meeting and it was hard for the Planning and
Zoning Commission to conduct their business at hand with the disruptions.
Mr. Clausen noted that he worked for a governmental entity and there was no state law or
attorney general opinion that required him to file a conflict of interest form and he has not
done so.
Lastly, Mr. Clausen noted his disappointment with people using this forum to run for public
office.

1
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:
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, any portion of Land constituting a strip of
land 100' wide and contiguous to either Fairmont Parkway, State
Highway 225, or State Highway 146, shall be subject to the rules
and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and made a part
hereof; and 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 unannexed area for the purpose of computing the "in lieu"
2
payments hereunder. Therefore, the parties agree that the
appraisal of the Land, improvements, and tangible personal
property in the unannexed area shall be conducted by City, at
City's expense, by an independent appraiser of City'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.
III.
A. The properties upon which the "in lieu of" taxes are assessed
are more fully described in subsections I, 2, and 3 of subsection
C, of this Paragraph III (sometimes collectively called the
"Property") ; provided, however, pollution control equipment
installed on the Land which is exempt from ad valorem taxation
pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 11.31 of the Texas Property Tax
Code is exempt from ad valorem taxation and "in lieu of taxes"
hereunder. Property included in this Agreement shall not be
entitled to an agricultural use exemption for purposes of
computing "in lieu of taxes" hereunder.
B. On or before the later of December 31, 2008, or 30 days from
mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each December
31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2019, Company
shall pay to City an amount of "in lieu of taxes" on Company's
Property as of January 1st of the current calendar year ("Value

Ordinance provide for the continued taxation of such
property under the authority of any applicable
provisions of the Texas Constitution and Texas
Statutes.

5. City and Company acknowledge circumstances might
require the City to provide emergency services to
Company's Property described on Exhibit "A" attached
hereto. Emergency services are limited to fire,
police, and public works emergency services. If
Company is not a member of Channel Industries Mutual
Aid Association (CIMA), Company agrees to reimburse
City for its costs arising out of any emergency
response requested by Company to Company's property,
and to which City agrees to respond. If Company is a
member of CIMA, the obligations of Company and City
shall be governed by the CIMA agreement, to which
agreement City is a party.
IV.
This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day
of January, 2008, and continuing thereafter until December 31,
2019, unless extended for an additional period or periods of time
upon mutual consent of Company and City as provided by the
Municipal Annexation Act i 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, 2019, 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
6
Company shall have the right to take all legal steps desired by it
to reduce the same.
Notwithstanding such protest by Company, and except as otherwise
provided in Article VI (B), 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 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, or City shall make paYment to Company of any refund
due, as the case may be, 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) calendar days of receiving City's invoice, 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 port ions, pI us (b) the total amount of the " in lieu"
paYments which would be due hereunder on the basis of Company's
written valuations statement submitted to City by Company
hereunder, or the total assessment and "in lieu of taxes" thereon
for the last preceding year, whichever is higher.
7
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 arbitrator 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
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 (Chapter 171, "General
Arbitration", Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code).
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
8
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.
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.
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.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Per the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Section 56.04, (c), "Each local law enforcement agency shall designate
one person to serve as the agency's crime victim liaison." The duty of the crime victim liaison is to ensure that a
victim, guardian of a victim, or close relative of a deceased victim of a bodily injury crime, is afforded the rights
granted victims, guardians, or close relatives of deceased according to the law; including notification of victim's
rights, providing victims with crime victim's compensation assistance, referring them to community resources and
providing moral support during any time the victim is required to make a court appearance.
The City of La POlte received an initial grant award for its Victims Assistance Liaison position from the Office of
the Attorney General in February, 2002. Since that time, the position has in part been funded through this grant.
This position has proven very valuable to the City of La Porte.
For calendar year 2008, the La Porte Police Depmiment's Crime Victim's Liaison served a total of six hundred and
fifteen (615) victims who have been awarded approximately thirty thousand eight hundred thirty three dollars
($30,833.00) in Crime Victim's Compensation. Since the programs inception, over two hundred and eighty-nine
thousand ($289,000.00) in compensation has been awarded to La Porte crime victims and their families with the
assistance ofthe Crime Victim's Liaison.
We are seeking approval through Resolution for the City Manager to submit for a two year continuation grant for the
Crime Victim's Liaison position, in the amount of thirty-nine thousand dollars ($39,000.00) a year. This is the
maximum amount allowed by the Office of the Attorney General. The City will have to absorb approximately
twenty-one thousand dollars ($2] ,000.00) each year in its personnel operating budget to covel' salary and benefits
relating to this position.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Per previous request of City Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the Main Street Design Guidelines
(MSDG) draft package as presented by the Main Street Advisory Board (MSAB) and makes recommendation regarding
proposed ordinance to implement said guidelines within the Main Street District (MSD).
The applicable material consists of:
1) A design guideline package generated by MSAB which, if adopted, would be distributed to all property owners and
businesses within the MSD, and
2) An ordinance which amends Zoning Chapter 106, Article III Districts, Division 3 and Division 9 nonconforming
which is the legislative action necessary to adopt the MSDG.
The MSDG consists of three major parts: the Main Street Design Certificate (MSDC), the Enhancement Grant, and the
Resource Services of the Texas Main Street Center; all of which are designed to retain and enhance the existing architectural
uniqueness of Downtown La Porte. Proposed guidelines would allow architecturally appropriate exterior alterations or
additions to existing buildings. A team of public and private professionals called the Design Assistance and Review Team
(DART) appointed by City Council, is proposed to help facilitate the preservation of the MSD by determining appropriate
design within the district, and by issuing a Main Street Design Certificate or recommending a Main Street Enhancement
Grant. Elements of the MSDG are summarized as follows:
Main Street Design Certificate (MSDC) - The Main Street Design Certificate is being proposed as a means to ensure a
harmonious historic downtown that reflects its own history through architectural styles currently located in the Main Street
District and those consistent therewith. This design certificate would be applicable to all exterior renovations, new
construction, and demolition projects within Main Street Architectural Design Area. The DART would make

FACTORS CONSIDERED FOR CERTIFICATION
Before approving an application, the MS DART must find that the application satisfies the following general
criteria:
. The architectural and historic integrity of an individual historic structure is preserved;
. New buildings or additions should be designed to be compatible with the range of architectural styles
found on the north side of the 300 block of Main Street - from the late 1800's to the 1950's;
. Existing structures should either convert to their original historic condition or be renovated to resemble
their current look;

enclosed. Once the completed packet is received it will be forwarded to the MS DART for their
recommendation. If packet is incomplete, you will be notified and may be asked to pick it up and return it
completed.
2. After due consideration, the MS DART will approve or disapprove the application by majority vote, and
be signed by the City Manager's office. The best assurance you have for a project to be approved is to
work closely with the MS DART at every juncture of your project. In an effort to make it feasible for you
to resubmit a successful packet, they will state the reasons it was denied. The decisions made by the Main
Street Design Assistance Review Team may be appealed to the Planning and Zoning Commission if
resolution is not obtained.
3. Upon receipt of your Main Street Design Certificate, the Permitting Division and Planning Department
may proceed with any applications you have on file with them. They cannot approve permits without a

I have met with the Main Street Design Review Assistance Team and fully understand the Main Street
Enhancement Grant procedures and details established. I intend to use these grant funds for the
renovation projects, as spelled out in the MS EG and application. I have not received, nor will I receive
insurance monies for this revitalization project, or I have disclosed all pertinent insurance information
needed.
I understand that if I am awarded a MS EG by the MS DART, any deviation from the approved project
may result in the partial or total withdrawal of the MS EG. If I am awarded a reimbursement grant for
fa9ade, awning, signage, beautification, or other approved work, alterations should not be made within
five (5) years from construction; otherwise, I may be required to reimburse the La Porte Development
Corporation immediately for the full amount of the MS EG.

Design Guidelines
MAIN STREET
DESIGN GUIDELINES
PURPOSE
The purpose ofthe guidelines and resource material is to help property owners and the Main Street Design
Assistance Review Team determine the types of alterations, renovations, and changes within the Main Street
District that will maintain the special qualities of historic downtown La Porte. This applies to renovations or
new construction, but not to general maintenance that does not alter exterior appearance of the building.
The guidelines apply only to the exterior of property in the Main Street District and will guide the Main Street
Design Assistance Review Team in issuing a Main Street Design Certificate or approving a Main Street
Enhancement Grant.
There are several points to remember when using the guidelines and resource material:
. Every building is unique. Even buildings that look identical have a few details or a setting that
distinguishes them from any other buildings. This means that what is appropriate for one building
may not be appropriate for another. Each building must be reviewed on an individual basis both by
the property owner and by the Main Street Design Assistance Review Team.
. Over the years, some buildings have been altered or details have been removed. Although it may be
preferred to restore these buildings to their original appearance, the guidelines and the Main Street
Design Assistance Review Team acknowledge that an exact restoration is not always economically
practical.
The Downtown Design Guidelines & Resources will:
. Protect, enhance and perpetuate landmarks and districts of historical, cultural, architectural or
archeological importance that reflect distinctive and important elements of the unique heritage of La
Porte
. Foster civic pride by recognizing accomplishments of the past
. Protect and enhance the attractiveness of Downtown to tourists and visitors and support and stimulate
the economy
· Ensure the harmonious, orderly and efficient growth and development of the Main Street District
. Promote the economic prosperity and welfare of the community
· Encourage the stabilization, restoration and improvement of property and property values. Maintain a
generally harmonious outward appearance of both historic and modem structures, which are
compatible and complimentary in scale, form, color, proportion, texture and material.
These guidelines are presented to aid downtown property owners in La Porte to protect and enhance the
historic resources of the community.

Design Guidelines
REDEVELOPMENT OF MAIN STREET DESIGN CERTIFICATE AREA
Some areas are covered by the Commercial Area Requirements Sec. 106-443. See attached Main Street
Architectural Design Standards (MS ADS) map for designated areas which are impacted by the Design Certificate.
To capitalize on La Porte's urban design and architectural character, the following principles shall serve as a
guide for future development in the Main Street District. In general, downtown should maintain the
appearance that has naturally developed over time and architectural styles may range from the late 1800's
through the 1950's.
SETBACK & HEIGHT
. Building heights shall not exceed 3 stories in designated area.
. Commercial buildings should be built on the zero lot line with the main entrance facing the primary street.
Comer entrances are an acceptable alternative for comer buildings
MASSING
. Long uninterrupted fac;:ade planes should not be constructed, they should maintain the natural rhythm of
the historic 25'- 50' store fronts. A larger business may accomplish this visually by making the exterior
look like different store fronts.
. Building wall offsets (projections and recesses) and/or pilasters shall be used to break up the mass ofa
single building into distinct vertical bays. Variations in roofline, materials, and color shall also be used to
break up the massing.
. All visible sides of a building shall have an articulated base and cap. The base shall align with either the
kickplate or sill level of the first story. The cap shall be at the top ofthe building wall and may take the
form of a cornice, or some other horizontal expression di~tinguished through design materials or colors.
ROOF FORMS
. Flat or sloped roofs with parapet walls shall be used on commercial buildings
. Shall conceal rooftop equipment such as HV AC units
FACADES & MATERIALS
. Building facades shall emphasize clearly articulated main entrances using awnings, canopies, columns,
pilasters and recessed entrances including side on comer lots
. Window and door openings shall have a vertical orientation and align vertically between floors
. Ground floors shall be 65-86% glazed. Upper floors shall be 35-65% glazed
. Canopies shall be appropriate to a building's architectural style and shall not conceal significant
architectural features.
. The primary material (minimum of 90%) shall be brick, stone, stucco, block (not smooth-faced) wood
siding or synthetic wood (such as Hardiplank)
. Not allowed: sheet metal siding, plywood, and EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finishing System), synthetic
stucco, exterior burglar bars
Exterior Wall Materials
. The primary material (minimum of90%) shall be brick, stone, stucco, wood siding or synthetic wood
(such as Hardiplank)
. Not allowed: sheet metal siding, plywood, and EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finishing System), synthetic
stucco, exterior burglar bars

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The Federal Trade Commission issued new "red flag" rules which apply to all municipalities that have utility
accounts such as water, sewer or electricity, and other operations that defer payment for services on a regular basis.
In accordance with a recent decision by the FTC, the rules now require that by May 1, 2009 such municipalities
have in place writteu programs to identity detect and respond to patterns, practices or specific activities-known as
"red flags' - that could indicate identity theft.
Attached is an identity theft policy that has been prepared by the staff for the City of La Porte to be in compliance
with the rulings of the Federal Trade Commission.
Non-compliance with the FTC rules could subject the city to audits and substantial fines.

CITY OF LA PORTE
IDENTITY THEFT PREVENTION PROGRAM
EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2009
I. ADOPTION OF PROGRAM AND GENERAL INFORMATION
a. The City of La Porte- ("City") developed this Identity Theft Prevention Program
("Program") pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission's Red Flags Rule ("Rule"), which
implements Section 114 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of2003. 16 C. F. R. 9
681.2. This Program was developed with oversight from City of La Porte Finance Department
with approval by the La Porte City Council.
b. An Identity Theft Prevention Program was created and designed to detect,
prevent, and mitigate identity theft relating to "Covered Accounts" of the City. The objective of
the City of La Porte is to safeguard the "Identifying Information" of customers utilizing City
covered accounts, including utility accounts, or any other City operations that provides a service
for which payment is deferred until a future date, for the purpose of identifying and preventing
identity theft.
TI. PROGRAM PURPOSE AND DEFINITIONS
a. Fulfilling Requirements of the Red Flags Rule. Under the Red Flag Rule, every
financial institution and creditor is required to establish an "Identity Theft Prevention Program"
tailored to its size, complexity and the nature of its operation. To ensure the City of La Porte has
a program in place to detect, prevent, and diminish identity theft in connection with the opening
and maintaining of utility accounts, and to establish written procedures for security and storing
of personal information. Each program must contain reasonable policies and procedures to:
(1) Identify relevant Red Flags for new and existing covered accounts and
incorporate those Red Flags into the Program
(2) Detect Red Flags that have been incorporated into the Program;
(3) Respond appropriately to any Red Flags that are detected to prevent and
mitigate Identity Theft; and
(4) Ensure the Program is updated periodically, to reflect changes in risks to
customers or to the safety and soundness of the creditor from Identity
Theft.
b. Red Flags Rule definitions used in this Program
C:\Documents and Settings\dolbym\Loeal Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\Z1955653\La Porte Red Flag Policy (final for
council review 4 3 09).doc 1
(1) Identity Theft - fraud committed using the identifying information of
another person.
(2) Red Flag - pattern, practice, or specific activity that indicates the possible
existence of Identity Theft.
(3) Creditors - include finance companies, automobile dealers, mortgage
brokers, utility companies, and telecommunications companies. Where
non-profit and government entities defer payment for goods or services,
they, too, are to be considered creditors. According to the Rule, a city is a
creditor subject to the Rule requirements.
(4) Covered Account - Any account the City offers or maintains primarily
for personal, family or household purposes, that involves multiple
payments or transactions; and any other account the City offers or
maintains for which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk to customers or
to the safety and soundness of the City from Identity Theft. By way of
example, all the City's accounts that are individual utility service accounts
held by customers of the utility whether residential, commercial or
industrial are covered by the Rule.
(5) Identifying information - Any name or number that may be used, alone
or in conjunction with any other information, to identify a specific person,
including: name, address, telephone number, social security number, date
of birth, government issued driver's license or identification number, alien
registration number, government passport number, employer or taxpayer
identification number, unique electronic identification number, computer's
Internet Protocol address, or routing code.
c. This policy applies to all City employees and service providers that have access to
Covered Accounts maintained by City containing customer's Identifying Information that is
submitted in person, by email, by fax, through regular mail, or over the internet.
III. IDENTIFICATION OF RED FLAGS
a. In order to identify relevant Red Flags, the City considers the types of accounts
that it offers and maintains, the methods it provides to open its accounts, the methods it provides
to access its accounts, and its previous experiences with Identity Theft. The City identifies the
following red flags, in each of the listed categories:
b. Red Flags for Notifications and Warnings from Credit Reporting Agencies
(1) Report of fraud accompanying a credit report;
(2) Notice or rep0l1 from a credit agency of a credit freeze on a customer or
applicant;
C:\Documents and Settings\dolbyrn\Lo<:al Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\Z1955653\La Porte Red Flag Policy (final for
council review 4 3 09).doc2
(3) Notice or report from a credit agency of an active duty alert for an
applicant; and
(4) Indication from a credit report of activity that IS inconsistent with a
customer's usual pattern or activity.
c. Red Flags for Suspicious Documents

inauthentic;
(2) Identification document or card on which a person's photograph or
physical description is not consistent with the person presenting the
document;
(3) Other document with information that is not consistent with existing
customer information (such as if a person's signature on a check appears
forged); and
(4) Application for service that appears to have been altered or forged.
d. Red Flags for Suspicious Personal Identifying Information

information the customer provides (example: inconsistent birth dates);
(2) Identifying information presented that is inconsistent with other sources of
information (for instance, an address not matching an address on a credit
report);
(3) Identifying information presented that is the same as information shown
on other applications that were found to be fraudulent;
(4) Identifying information presented that is consistent with fraudulent
activity (such as an invalid phone number or fictitious billing address);

customer;

person;
(7) A person fails to provide complete personal identifying information on an

counci 1 review 4 3 09 ).doc3

that is on file for the customer.

Dear
We are contacting you a potential problem involving identity theft. [Describe the
information compromise and how you are responding to it.]
We recommend that you place a fraud alert on your credit file. A fraud alert tells
creditors to contact you before they open any new accounts or change your existing
accounts. Call anyone of the three major credit bureaus. As soon as one credit bureau
confirms your fraud alert, the others are notified to place fraud alerts. All three credit
reports will be sent to you, free of charge, for your review.
Equifax
800-685-1111
Experian
888-397-3742
TransUnionCorp
800-680- 7289
Even if you do not find any suspicious activity on your initial credit reports, the Federal
Trade Commission recommends that you check your credit reports periodically. Victim
information sometimes is held for use or shared among a group of thieves at different
times. Checking your credit reports periodically can help you spot problems and address
them quickly.
If you find suspicious activity on your credit reports or have reason to believe your
information is being misused, call your local law enforcement agency and file a police
report. Get a copy of the report; many creditors want the information it contains to
absolve you of the fraudulent debts. You also should file a complaint with the FTC at
\\i'Ww.ftc.gov/idtheft or at 1-877-ID-THEFT (877-438-4338). Your complaint will be
added to the FTC's Identity Theft Data Clearinghouse, where it will be accessible to law
enforcers for their investigations.
Sincerely,
Michael G. Dolby, CPA

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
As you know we have planned and budgeted for a public art piece in the new town plaza. We
met with David Adickes (the Sam Houston sculpture guy) and he has presented us with three
clay mermaid models to consider (see picture) for the Town Plaza - they will be modest
(covered). Our evaluation team consisted of John, Debbie, Debra, Bryan Sterling, Pat Muston
and myself. We are excited about the possibility of having Mr. Adickes working with us on this
project. The committee liked the idea of a mermaid sculpture for the plaza, but we are open to
your direction. We actually selected a combination oftwo of the models - but, basically we
chose the one listening to a sea shell and she will be looking towards the gulf. We did budget for
this public art. Total cost should be around $35,000 and would be completed about the time the
Town Plaza is complete. Just having a sculpture by David Adickes will draw people to our
community.
Action Required bv Council:
taff with direction regarding a public art piece for the town plaza.
