AGENDA ITEM 4:
ACTIVITY REPORT FOR 2003 TAX YEAR
Calculation of the amount of taxes due the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #1 by the
La Porte Independent School District.
Calculation of the amount of taxes due the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #1 by the
City of La Porte.
Note regarding the Harris County contribution:
Background - Tax Year 2002
The City's (TIRZ) audit, when examining the Harris County contribution,
discovered differences between the City's and County's coding of accounts that
are within the boundaries of the TIRZ. The City looked at a printout and map
obtained from HCAD and noted that Harris County included lands not in the
TIRZ and a few parcels not included which should be.
The City provided Harris County our account codings and HCAD maps
delineating the correct boundaries.
After their review Harris County responded that they had overpaid by $8,566 last
year (2001). This year's payment is only $2,725 - which leaves the Harris
County contributions to the La Porte TIRZ with a negative balance of $5,841.
This balance will just carry over into future years.
The City (Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number One) has not yet received
Harris County's Activity Report for Tax Year 2003.

RE: Bayforest Ranch, Ltd. .
Fair Mist Apartments, Ltd.
Dear Mr. Turkel,
As these projects progressed through staff and Planning and Zoning Commission review, the City learned
more about Harris County Housing Authority's proposed participation and ownership of these two
projects.
.
Per our conversation yesterday, one area of concern express~d is the lost tax revenue if these projects are
approved and Harris County becomes the owner. This concern is amplified for the proposed Bayforest
Ranch, which is located within the City's Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number One.
You indicated that Harris County has, on occasion, agreed to make payments in.lieu of taxes to
compensate for lost tax revenues. If you would like to provide more information and assurances
regarding the County's willingness to make in-lieu payments, I will gladly forward the material to City
Council, Planning and Zoning Commission and the TIRZ Board.
If you prQvide more information, please confirm the potential for in-lieu payments for each project and
each taxing authority (City, LPISD and Harris County). Based on our conversation, it is my
understanding the County would only compensate the City's lost tax revenue.
Presently, the Fair Mist Apartments rezoning request is scheduled to be in front of City Council on April
26, 2004. The Bayforest Ranch project has recently withdrawn their request for consideration by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. At this time we do not know if or when they will re-apply.

Re: Engagement of Andrews Kurth LLP to Perform Legal Services
Dear Members of the Boards of Directors:
We are pleased to submit to you a proposed agreement for Andrews Kurth LLP ("AK"),
Houston, Texas, to provide legal services for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No.1, City of
La Porte, Texas (the "Zone") and the City of La Porte Redevelopment Authority (the
"Authority"). When approved by you, this letter will become effective and will evidence an
agreement between AK and, collectively, the Zone and the Authority.
Bond Counsel Services - Basic and AdditionaL AK will provide legal services to the
Authority as its Bond Counsel with respect to notes, bonds and other possible debt obligations
that the Authority may issue. (Such bonds, notes or other obligations are collectively referred to
herein as "Bonds.") As Bond Counsel, AK will prepare, or assist the appropriate Authority
officials and staff in the preparation of, all required legal proceedings and will perform certain
other necessary legal work in connection with the Authority's authorization, issuance and sale of
each series of the Bonds. Services as Bond Counsel will include the following Basic Services,
which will be carried out directly or in concert with Authority officials and staff, as follows:
(1) Preparation of the resolutions, orders and indentures authorizing issuance of each
series of the Bonds and all other instruments which comprise the transcript of legal proceedings
pertaining to the authorization, issuance and sale of each such series;
(2) Attendance at meetings, to the extent required or requested by the appropriate
Authority officials and staff, to discuss the sizing, timing or sale of each series of the Bonds;
(3) Consultation with Authority officials and staff and the Authority's financial
advisors to review information to be included in the offering documents for each series of Bonds,
but only to the extent that such information describes such series, the security therefor, their
federal income tax status and our opinion;
(4) Preparation and submission of transcripts of legal proceedings pertaining to the
issuance of each series of the Bonds to the Attorney General to obtain an approving opinion;

(5) Supervision of the printing of each series of the Bonds and the delivery thereof to
the purchasers;
(6) At the closing of each series of the Bonds, delivery of an approving opinion,
based on facts and law existing as of its date, generally to the effect that such series has been
duly issued, executed and delivered in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the State of
Texas, that the Bonds of each series constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Authority (subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
in effect from time to time relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors of
political subdivisions) and that interest on such series of the Bonds is excludable from the gross
income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes under then existing law; provided
that after the closing we do not undertake, unless specifically engaged by you to do so as an
Additional Service described below, to provide continuing advice concerning any actions
necessary to assure that interest paid on the Bonds will continue to be excluded from gross
income for federal income tax purposes; and
(7) Prior to and in connection with the closing of each series of the Bonds, giving
advice to the Authority to enable appropriate officials to comply with the arbitrage requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as they affect the Bonds, including yield restrictions and
rebate requirements.
. As Bond Counsel, AK is also prepared to undertake the following Additional Services, as
directed by appropriate Authority officials:
(1) Disclosure work or similar services (other than the limited review of certain
sections of the offering documents for the Bonds as described in paragraph (4) under Basic
Services above) to assist the Authority or its financial advisor in the preparation of such offering
documents, on such basis and to such extent as shall be directed by the appropriate Authority
officials and staff, including compliance with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities
and Exchange Commission;
(2) Attendance at rating agency presentations, investor meetings or other
presentations relating to the marketing of the Bonds and consultation with Authority officials,
staff and advisors and the Authority's financial advisor to develop such presentations;
(3) Preparation of the "Blue Sky" surveys or securities registration services;
(4) In the case of a series of Bonds, or a portion thereof, that is issued to refund prior
bonds of the Authority, providing advice regarding federal income tax and other issues unique to
refunding transactions;
.
(5) Any other special services related to but not ordinarily required in connection
with the issuance of obligations of the nature of the Bonds, including services rendered in
connection with special federal income tax issues, unusual issues arising in connection with the
Authority's financial reports or audits, any documentation or related services for credit or

liquidity facilities or enhancements or other special structuring techniques or devices to be
employed in connection with the issuance of any series of the Bonds; and
(6) After the closing of any series of the Bonds and upon specific request of the
appropriate Authority officials and staff, providing assistance to the Authority concerning
questions and issues that may arise prior to the maturity of each series of Bonds.
For the Basic Service performed as Bond Counsel, our fee for a fixed rate transaction
would be according to the following schedules, with such fee payable from bond proceeds and
contingent upon the actual delivery ofthe Bonds:
First Issue*
A. For the first $15 million in principal of Bonds, an amount not to exceed $65,000,
to be billed at standard hourly rates;
B. an amount equal to 2% of the principal amount of such Bonds above such first
$15,000,000 in principal.
*
The fee for a variable rate transaction would be the same as the foregoing, plus our standard
hourly rates at a 10% discount for amounts in excess of the foregoing fees.
Subsequent Issues: To be agreed to prior to the issuance of such Bonds depending on the
size and complexity of the transaction.
As Bond Counsel, A.K will also be reimbursed for its reasonable and actual out-of-pocket
expenses, such as the cost of reproduction of documents, out-of-town travel, long-distance
telephone, telegraph, telex and similar expenses, deliveries, filing fees and all items paid for by
A.K on behalf of the Zone or the Authority and incurred in connection with the performance of
all services hereunder.
AK will provide invoices for legal services and out-of-pocket expenses hereunder.
Payment of all fees and expenses as Bond Counsel will be made upon the issuance and delivery
of the series of the Bonds in connection with which such services are performed. The fee and
expenses for each series will be paid from the proceeds of the sale of such series or from other
funds, as the Authority deems appropriate.
The fee for any Additional Services provided by AK will be determined on an hourly rate
basis, applying rates then charged by AK for the same or similar services performed by attorneys
and paralegals of similar experience for other clients.
As we have discussed, you are aware that AK represents many other governmental
entities, companies and individuals. It is possible that during the time that we are representing
you, some of our present or future clients will have disputes or transactions with you. In
particular, as we have advised you, we represent the Port of Houston Authority of Harris County,

Texas as Bond Counsel and in other capacities, including as litigation counsel. You agree that
we may continue to represent or may undertake in the future to represent existing or new clients
in any matter that is not substantially related to our work for you even if the interests of such
clients in those other matters are directly adverse. We agree, however, that your prospective
consent to conflicting representation contained in the preceding sentence shall not apply in any
instance where, as a result of our representation of you, we have obtained proprietary or other
confidential information of a nonpublic nature, that, if known to such other client, could be used
in any other such other matter by such client to your material disadvantage.
Nothing herein shall be construed as creating any personal liability on the part of any
officer of the Authority, and this agreement may be terminated by the Authority by giving 30
days' written notice to AK, provided that all fees and expenses owing to AK will be paid as of
the effective date of any such termination.
If this proposed agreement for the performance of legal services by AK is satisfactory,
please evidence your acceptance and approval by executing three copies in the space provided
below and returning one copy to us.
Very truly yours,

A Vision for NASA
President George W. Bush outlined a vision for NASA that brought cheers to the aerospace and
bioastronautics industries that surround NASA Johnson Space Center.
That expertise is in place in our region to develop and operate the new Crew Exploration Vehicle,
therefore, NASA Johnson Space Center is the logical choice. Bay Area Houston is home to 52 NASA JSC
contractors and the aerospace industry cluster is 16 times the national average.
We predict that the President's new vision will have a significant economic impact, not only in Bay Area
Houston, but in the state of Texas as well.

Re: BayForest Ranch
Dear Mr. Craigie:
Bayforest Ranch, Ltd. is pleased to announce it intends to submit an application to the Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs for Housing Tax Credits for 100 single-family
homes for rental. These homes will be built on 16 acres at the east side of the approximate 2600
block of State Highway 146 and the northeasterly comer of McCabe Boulevard in La Porte,
Texas. A tremendous need for affordable housing exists in this fast growing southeast Harris
County corridor. With the pending multi-billion dollar impact of the completion of the Bayport
Terminal Complex and the proposed addition of a new cruise line depot, the steady growth of the
La Porte community is projected to accelerate. In fact, the Bayport Terminal Complex is
projected to have a positive job impact of over 25,000 for the area. This will accelerate the need
of affordable housing in the La Porte community.
Applicant's development will consist of four bedroom individual homes with attached one and
two car garages. Additional parking will be adjacent to each home for residents and visitors.
Applicant is appealing to all income levels with market rate units and units priced for 40%, 50%
and 60% of area median income. With easy accessibility to all parts of the city and immediate
area located commercial and retail services, schools and hospitals, the location is desirable for all
family members including the physically impaired and the elderly.
The amenity package will be extensive and will include 9 foot ceilings; fenced in expanded patio
area yards; a designated playground with equipment for two age groups; a furnished community
clubhouse with kitchen and computer/fax room; public pay telephone; swimming pool; a covered
barbeque pavilion with tables; private storage areas; limited access entry with perimeter fencing;
ceiling fans in the living rooms and bedrooms of all units; full kitchen appliance packages;
islands in the kitchens of all homes; and numerous energy saving features.
Child and Adult Development Center of Houston, Inc., an experienced 501(c)(3) non-profit, with
extensive experience providing these services, will conduct a Social Service Program. The Kids
Out Of School Program operated by the social service provider will offer supervised after school
and summer activities during the critical 3 p.m.-7 p.m. period and other times that school is not in
session, the times when a parent is often not home in a household. The social service provider
has contracts with the state workforce commission and, together with Applicant, is currently
working with the other public and nonprofit agencies to assist with community and social service
programs. Units will also be designed to meet standards for the physically impaired.

La Porte, TX 77571
Re: Bayfotest Ranch
.
Dear Nick;
I appreciaie your meeting with us and hopefully we will work out the various issues to
everyone's satisfaction. As you are aware, we have been working with the city, the TIRZ
and Arete,i the owner of most of the land, for some time. Our goal all along has been to
develop m~ltifamily units for rent as designated by the zoning. After discussions with
Harris COl:lD.ty Community and Development, we decided to lower the density of this
multifamily development by building detached dwelling units with garages. We felt we
were provip,ing a more suitable, if not superior, product to the overall TIRZ development
and one thl;tt would be more acceptable to the city.
Even though this development has individual structures which may infer single family
development, we wish to suggest that overall more multifamily features exist. The entire
developm~nt is on one tract of land, all the streets in the development are private, the
development doesn't qualify under the single family guidelines, and the entire
developme:nt will be restricted to multifamily rental for a period of forty years by a land
use restrictive agreement. Since the development will not qualify as a single family
developme:nt under La Porte requirements, the individual structures will not be able to be
sold as single family homes. It would seem that the multifamily definition of multiple
structures on a single lot should control.
Of course any final zoning decisions will rest with the city of La Porte. We hope to work
with the city toward a mutually satisfactory solution and are happy to meet with
appropriate city members at their convenience. Again we thank you in advance for your
assistance. : Please feel.' free to call either Barry Kahn, my partner, or me with any
questions.

Department will hold a series of public hearings in April 2004 to gather public comment on the

Dear Mayor Malone:
Our association is totally opposed to Bayforest Ranch, Ltd.'s proposed construction
of a low income residential community in La Porte.
.We do not feel that subsidized low income housing is in any way beneficial to our
community. This type of development does nothing but attract elements to our
community that create problems and the facilities tend to reduce property values in
the surro nding area.

Subject: Bond Counsel additional services
I understand you are out of the office today and tomorrow. I left a message but decided to e-mail so
you would know what I was calling for.
James, your prediction was right on as to the need for additional services related to Bond Counsel.
The authority will need review of the interlocal agreements and development agreements relating to
reimbursements for certain eligible project costs. David Hawes will prepare drafts but they will need
review. I have discussed with Chairman Porter. At the Feb. 4th meeting I plan to get authorization to
for A1K to do so under the additional services paragraph for Bond Counsel. A couple of things-1) any
chance of the 10% discount? and 2) I am sure one or two of the board members would like to have
the hourly rate schedule attached to the authorizati~n letter--- could you furnish?
Thanks and please call or email if you need to-John

Subject:
Golf Course Community I Infrastructure Reimbursements
Mr. Fogarty (Arete Development) has requested a reimbursement of (see attached letter):
· 100% - Water, sewer and drainage $5,768,075.00
· 100% - Landscape @ entry points 250,000.00
· 100% - SH146 Landscape, buffer, walkways 450.000.00
SUBTOTAL $6,468,075.00
· 100% - Associated Engineering (15%) 970.211.25
TOTAL $7,438,286.20
In earlier conversation he has noted that this reimbursement level is allowable in a MUD if the tax
base created is 10 times the debt service. It is my understanding that the more typical
reimbursement for a MUD is 70%.
The TIRZ Board may recall that during the creation ofthe TIRZ, the City Council approved
guidelines for the TIRZ, which included a section on infrastructure eligible for reimbursement.
As a beginning point for discussion/negotiations, I have prepared an estimate for reimbursement
using the cost estimates provided by Mr. Fogarty's engineers.
· First, I subtracted $792,700 from the estimated sewer construction costs for items numbers
5-dewatering, 6-modified bedding and 7-modified manhole base in sections 1-7 and
$93,400 for items 5,6 and 7 in the off site section. These estimates assumed that all
manholes and every foot of sewer will require these special construction efforts. This is
very conservative and tends inflate the cost estimate since every manhole and foot of sewer
will not require this. To include this I suggest we note in the agreement that when this
specialty construction is ordered, it will be reimbursed at 100%.
· If this approach is taken, this modified request for reimbursement is $6,419,275.
· Next, utilizing the TIRZ guidelines (Section E attached) and the TIRZ project plan (portions
attached), we identified items that would or could readily be identified as eligible.

RE: La Porte
Mr. David Hawes:
Enclosed are the engineers cost estimates for the infrastructure improvements to the La Porte
Golf Course Community. In addition to these costs, I would expect to spend $250,000 minimum
on landscaping and beautification of entryways and $450,000 for landscape for the sound ..
abatement along 146 and for the walkways around the detention ponds which act as a buffer to
the Golf Course. We will create approximately 90 lots which will be valued at $30,000 each and
approximately 325 lots which would be valued at $25,000. We have pro-formaed an absorption
of 100 units per year with an average home valued in the range of$250,000. I expect that the
apartment community would be built sometime within the first three years.
I am hopeful that the TIRZ Board will approve the reimbursement to us of 100% of our water,
sewer and drainage and associated engineering cost and the landscaping and beautification cost.
Please note estimates do not include engineering which typically run 15%. Please call me once
you have had a chance to review and let me know what else you may need from myself or my
engineers. I am quite anxious to move forward on this project.
Sincerely,
Joe Fogarty
President
