'\ ,- 3 .- PRESENTATION TO BE MADE AT :MEETING 4 City of La Porte Interoffice Memorandum Date: To: From: Through: January 24,2008 Subject: Website Updates As you know, staff has been working on an RFP/Q for the hiring of a website development firm for a city-wide revamp of our website since the previous bids were rejected by the Board, at the recommendation of the Evaluation Committee. Since that time we have completed an overall system analysis (platform and navigation mapping) and solicited departmental input. We hope that this time we will receive bids from companies with actual experience in developing governmental websites and perhaps more consistency with which to compare prices. The City has $10,000 available in the Main Street Program for a portion on the funding and is seeking approval from the Board for the remainder of the funds. Currently we estimate that we will need $50,000 for the complete overhaul of the site with $40,000 of the funds being requested of the LPEDC. If all goes as planned and the Board is agreeable to the suggested funding then staff would include the funding request as an action item at our next meeting. c: Ron Bottoms, City Manager 5 City of La Porte Interoffice Memorandum To: All LPEDC Board Members From: Gretchen Black, EDC Through: John Joerns, ACM Date: January 24, 2008 Subject: Strategic Planning Updates As you know, staff is working on a RFP/Q for the hiring of a strategic planning firm for a city-wide economic development plan. At your next meeting a draft RFP/Q will be presented for your review and comments. Also, as has been discussed, funding for the plan will come from the LPEDC and the City, with the LPEDC paying the largest share of the funding. The purpose of this update is to reaffirm that the Board is agreeable to this plan of action regarding the funding allocation. The initial research indicates that the plan would take a year to fully develop and cost approximately $100,000 to $150,000 with the city having set aside $20,000 for the plan. On a related note, at the City Council meeting of January 28 the Council will be updated on a revised lease agreement that we have been working with the Economic Alliance for their location at 908 Main. The revised agreement includes, as a d~liverable service, the preliminary planning meetings and an initial S.W.OT. analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) necessary for the overall ED Strategic Plan. If this is approved by the City Council then it will be included as a component of the RFP/Q issued. If all goes as planned and the Board is agreeable to the suggested funding then staff would include the RFP/Q and the funding request as action items at our next meeting. c: Ron Bottoms, City Manager 6 City of La Porte Interoffice Memorandum To: All LPEDC Board Members From: Gretchen Black, EDC Through: John Joerns, ACM Date: January 24, 2008 Subject: Community Branding Campaign As you know, staff is working on a RFP/Q for the hiring of a firm for a city-wide community branding plan. At your next meeting a draft RFP/Q will be presented for your review and comments. Funding for the plan is proposed to come from the LPEDC and the City. The City may have funds available in the HOT fund to cover some of the costs however, as with the strategic plan, we are asking the Board to consider funding the majority of the costs for the plan. The initial research indicates that the plan would take a year to fully develop and cost approximately $80,000. If all goes as planned and the Board is agreeable to the suggested funding then staff would include the RFP/Q and the funding request as action items at our next meeting. c: Ron Bottoms, City Manager 7 City of La Porte Interoffice Memorandum Date: All LPEDC Board Members GretC~'~D! John Joerns, AC i..) 'if January 24, 2008 To: From: Through: Subject: Sylvan Beach Shoreline Protection and Beach Nourishment Project As we discussed at our last Board meeting, the City had recently received notice that the Sylvan Beach Shoreline Protection and Beach Nourishment Grant through the Coastal Erosion Planning and Response Act (CEPRA) had been approved. In January of 2004 the TIRZ Board discussed the funding of the required matching funds as this type of project was included in the 1999 Project Plan. Subsequent to that meeting, in March of 2004 the City Council approved an ordinance appropriating funds for the possible match to come from the TIRZ. A copy of the original requests and actions are attached for review and update. Since that time this subject has been discussed by the Board at various meetings and recently the Board expressed an interest in perhaps providing some or all the matching funds necessary if other sources were unavailable. We are currently working on other sources of possible funding for the match aside from the TIRZ funding which involve the County. See attached email from Stephen Barr, which outlines the basic funding, the other possible sources of the match, as well as the funding needed from the City/County in order to proceed with the project. At this time, if for whatever reason the County funds are not allocated and understanding the limitations of the TIRZ funding, we are requesting that the Board call for a public hearing to be held on March 25 to announce this as a possible project of the Board and if the other funding sources are secured the called public hearing could be cancelled. However, if it were to become a Board project due to lack of funding from other sources, then we will have begun the 60 day right of objection time clock. Additionally, we would return to the Board for a decision as to whether or not you wished to fund the project as a stand alone LPEDC project and/or enter into an agreement with the TIRZ for repayment at a later date as funds were available. A matrix of estimated project costs and funding indentified and needed is attached for your review. c: Ron Bottoms, City Manager Page 1 0[2 Gillett, Martha From: Ed_Matuszak@URSCorp.com Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 2:33 PM To: Garrison, Bonnie Cc: adam@bayshoresun.com; Black, Gretchen; Bottoms, Ron; Barry Beasley; Engelken, Chuck; Mike Clausen; CSO - Staff; clark askins; Dolby, Michael; Malone, Georgia; Howard Ebow ; Tommy Moser; jhandy.chronicle@hotmail.com; Joerns, John; Louis Rigby; Bill Love; Mike Mosteit ; Porter, Alton; trent wise; Wolny, Shelley Subject: Re: FW: 4B/LPDev Corp Meeting - COI Attachments: Check list for ELECTRONIC MESSAGE update.doc; agenda_20080204.doc Just to let everyone know.

When completed, this project will restore a beach to Sylvan Beach Park, and also protect the 2,OOO-foot shoreline from further erosion. Harris County has budgeted their necessary share of the construction estimate, $486,435 for the project and the General Land Office has not committed its funding for Coastal Projects at this point in time. The City of La Porte share is currently unfunded and is also expected to be $486,435 based on the construction estimate provided by the design firm, URS. This Ordinance, if approved by City Council, will position the City to provide its share of funding for the project, contingent upon approval of an Amended Project Agreement by the City and the General Land Office. The funding for the City's projected share will come from future Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone 1 revenues, as is the Harris County share. This is a preliminary step in the process and is not binding on the City until the General Land Office approves its share of the funding, and the Amended Project Agreement is presented and approved by the City Council. Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance. Should the General Land Office not approve their funding share, or a phased portion of the funding at this time, we are still positioned to move forward when it does happen. Our permit is good until 2008 so, if state funding does not happen in this biennium, the project can still be funded in a future year. Action Reauired bv Council: * Consider authorization to amend the FY 2003-2004 budget by appropriating $486,435 from the T.I.R.Z. to provide for partial funding for the Sylvan Beach Shoreline Protection and Beach Nourishment Project, contingent upon approval of an Amended Project Agreement with the Texas General Land Office for the project J.Jr /, ~ ;..~ ,(f:/J;ifU-to.-' Auuroved for C~ Co{,'nCil~ . -?-~-o4- Date - e ORDINANCE NO. 04- Jt'7oCj AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE, AND APPROPRIATING AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $486,435 FROM TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE 1 FUTURE REVENUES TO PROVIDE FOR PARTIAL FUNDING FOR THE SYLVAN BEACH SHORELINE PROTECTION AND BEACH NOURISHMENT PROJECT (TGLO COASTAL PROJECT 4#1114), CONTINGENT UPON APPROVAL OF AN AMENDED PROJECT AGREEMENT WITH THE TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE FOR THE PROJECT; MAKING VARIOUS FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT; FINDING COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPEN MEETINGS LAW; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.

Our official project name is the Sylvan Beach Shoreline Protection and Beach Nourishment Project. Our current funding is through the Coastal Erosion Planning and Response Act (CEPRA), a state program also administered through the Texas General Land Office. We had asked Judge Emmett to fund the entire $2.8 million that is the engineer's estimate for this project. CEPRA is funding, with our share, $2.5 million. What we need from the ClAP funds are the difference, plus the City and County shares, which would total $300 thousand shortfall shown above, and the $1.125 Million City/County match. So, instead of $2.8 million, we only need approximately $1.5 million. We may need another $300 thousand for amenities that were not included in the original scope (i.e. lighting, decorative banners, etc.). We would be really happy with $1.8 million! Hope this answers everyone's questions, and good luck with the judge. He was very receptive to the idea of actually spending "coastal impact assistance" funds for coastal impact assistance, instead of air quality studies...
