introduced Bill Hall and Susan Dietrich from Hall/Barnum Architects. Mr. Hall and Ms.

the landscape plan. Air Products donated $40,000 for a community room that will
accommodate one hundred and twenty five people. Ms. Dietrich explained the materials
to be used, and Mr. Hall explained the bidding process.
5. Receive Report on Financial Matters
Assistant City Manager Jeff Litchfield reported on financial matters of the sales tax
corporation/Section 4b'/z cent sales tax that voters approved in January, 1999. Mr.
Litchfield reminded the board it was reported at the last meeting that bonds would be sold
in February or March of 2000. He reported we are ready to move forward with the
Library project but not Bay Area Boulevard. This is a result of not receiving sufficient
engineering and other information from the company to determine the time and cost of
the project. The City will not be issuing debt on the Bay Area Boulevard project until all
Page 2 - 3-22-00 -Development Corporation Minutes
information is received. A bond sale is scheduled for Monday, March 27, 2000 on the
Library Project. The City will be issuing three million dollars in certificates of obligation
at that meeting. The City of La Porte tax base due to a good credit rating will back the
certificates of obligation. This will enable the certificates of obligation to be sold for a
much lower interest rate. In addition, the City has more than sufficient debt capacity to
handle this debt load.
We will be requesting to enter into an agreement with the Development Corporation and
the City where the Development Corporation will pay back the City for the debt issued.
They will use the sales tax proceeds to reimburse the City for the debt that had been
issued.
6. Consider approval of Ordinance authorizing Sales and Use Tax Retention
Agreement between the City of La Porte and the La Porte Development
Corporation.
Paul Martin provided the group with a summary and recommendation.
Motion was made by Bill Love to approve the Ordinance as recommended by Mr.
Martin. Seconded by Chuck Engelken. The motion carried unanimously.
Ayes: Pat Murton, Ed Matuszak, Chuck Engelken, Bill Love, Jerry Clarke and Peter
Griffiths.
Nays: None
7. Board Action -Martha Gillett provided the members with an updated member list and
travel policy.
8. Adjournment
