Council directs staff to draft amended facility‑use agreement with La Porte Livestock and Rodeo Association

Council discussed a request from the La Porte Livestock and Rodeo Association to increase its no‑fee facility allocation from 60 to 120 days annually and to expand no‑fee Saturdays from 15 to 30. Staff summarized the current arrangement, noting the association runs the concession stand, retains associated revenue, and assumes interior maintenance responsibilities. The association’s request would increase its allocation of weekend dates and could reduce the city’s rental inventory; staff recommended cost‑sharing for electrical hookups and a three‑business‑day minimum notice for arena prep.
