The council also approved an expenditure not to exceed $850,000 by the La Porte Development Corporation for economic development incentives related to Fifer and Suns Limited, including street repairs and parking lot construction. Additionally, the council authorized the city manager to execute a contract with Bickerstaff, Heath, Delgado, and Aosta LLC to prepare a redistricting plan for the city, noting this was an unbudgeted expense to be added in the next budget cycle.
