4. DISCUSSIONS
a. Discuss bringing the Battleship Texas to the Bayland Marina.
Mayor Pro Tern Presley announced Item 4.a. had several individuals that had signed up to speak
and asked them to come forward to present their comments.
Mr. Russel Hamman stated the funding that would bring the ship to Baytown would replenish itself
over the next years in many positive ways. Baytown was generally known as an industrial city
with no real attractions for outsiders; however, with the ship, people from all over the country
would know Baytown as a new tourist attraction and vacation destination. Mr. Hamman
commented on how much Baytown was growing and having the ship as part of the Baytown
experience would be a win-won situation for the town and its people. Mr. Hamman asked for
everyone that supported the battleship at the meeting to stand. With that, he thanked Council.
Mr. Jay Eshbach extended his gratitude for Council appointing him as Chair of the Bring the
Battleship to Baytown ("BBB") Committee two and a half years ago. He listed and introduced a
few individuals that led the committee to the point they were at that time. Specifically, Mr. Bruce
Bramlett who was the Executive Director of the Battleship Texas Foundation. Mr. Eshbach stated
the City had all the research their committee had done for the last two and a half years. Three
months ago, the City requested a wish list of what the foundation was looking for. Thus, the
it
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
May 12,2022
Page 5 of 13
foundation presented that wish list to the City on the first of March, and Mr. Eshbach hoped they
could establish an Interlocal Agreement with those items. The BBB Committee had made an email
request to the City Manager and City Attorney to meet with the foundation, their attorney, and Mr.
Bramlett to establish an Interlocal Agreement; however, that request had gone unanswered. Mr.
Eshbach had gone through that wish list several times. He crossed out five items he believed would
not make it through the first meeting and he also added an extra item.
With that, Mr. Eshbach encouraged Council to move forward with haste in developing a proposed
Interlocal Agreement with the Battleship Texas Foundation due to the fact that a large dry dock
left the Bahamas on May 12`h. It was suspected to take twelve days for the trip from the Bahamas
to the Galveston ship area. Mr. Bramlett and the Foundation projected that battleship would leave
the port in late June or July. The Foundation would announce a new permanent home for the
battleship before it left the port. If Baytown did not move rapidly forward, all the work the
committee had done for the last two and a half years would have been wasted and the battleship
would go to Galveston.
Before Council's discussion on the item, Mayor Pro Tern Presley announced there was an
individual wishing to speak via Zoom.
(Zoom) Mr. David Isaac noted he wished to speak in favor of the Battleship. As Mr. Eshbach
stated, time was of the essence and he believed it was time to move forward. The City had been
speaking for a long time about the Battleship. Mr. Isaac further discussed the future in that their
children and grandchildren could benefit from the social capital associated with having the
Battleship. Furthermore, he found it important that the community supported the Battleship. He
noted that of the four hundred people that had come out to vote for him as Mayor, supported the
Battleship as well. Mr. Isaac was present at the meeting when the City discussed having about
$138 million in discretionary funds late last year. The point being that the City had the money to
bring the Battleship to Baytown. Mr. Isaac ended on the note that there was no fiscal issue nor a
community support issue, and the only issue was to move forward and move forward fast.
Mayor Pro Tem Presley then opened the floor to discussion, questions, and comments amongst
Council. Council Member Alvarado and Council Member Lester were on the BBB Committee,
and so Mayor Pro Tem Presley wished to begin with them providing their comments.
Council Member Lester shared that he had been at that meeting in March with the Foundation
group. The stumbling block, up to the point, had been the discussions about the dredging cost and
so forth, which were significant. Council Member Lester believed it was somewhere between$30
and $40 million as a ballpark estimate. However, the Foundation stated they would take that off
the table. At that point, Council Member Lester asked for that wish list if they were to enter into
an Interlocal Agreement or a 380 type of agreement with the City. Council Member Lester further
discussed the contents of the list. Some were easy to scratch off, some were negotiable, and there
were other issues he, himself, put on there. Council Member Lester explained that was why he—
with Council Member Alvarado and Council Member Johnson's approval—brought the battleship
discussion because it was difficult to speak as a group unless it got on the agenda.
Council Member Lester supported the concept, but the details to the cost needed to be discussed
and negotiated. He appreciated the BBB Committee and the Foundation's effort as they submitted
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
May 12,2022
Page 6 of 13
a substantial list that was a good starting point for Council. He believed they needed to create an
additional Ad Hoc Committee, or keep Council Member Alvarado and himself on the BBB. He
suggested they could work with staff to develop something to bring forward to Council, their own
wish list,to see if Council wanted to move forward or not. Regarding time,Council Member Lester
noted he had a long task list that never shortened. Nevertheless, Council had to keep moving those
items forward to finish those discussions.
Council Member Alvarado noted that she first requested Mr. Eshbach for the updated matrix as
she only had the old one,which she had presented to Council during their last retreat.At the retreat,
Council vetted what the City was and was not able to do. As the matter was a Discussion Item, no
decisions would be made that night. Either way, Council Member Alvarado wished for Council to
discuss the actual amount it would take—especially for the parking structures. She relayed Council
had discussed working with the hotel on doing a parking assessment. She listed a few sites that
would surround the battleship which prompted the question if the location had adequate parking
to facilitate all of that. Council Member Alvarado also attended presentations with City Manager
Rick Davis that conveyed the importance of a study as the City would not want to build extra
parking spaces if they were not needed.
Council Member Alvarado made note of a few other issues, one of those items being that if the
City ever wanted to get rid of the Battleship, it would be at the City's expense. Another item was
the issue of natural disasters and who would be liable for the ship. Council Member Alvarado
stated those were the things that could be worked out and discussed as the City put together some
sort of agreement. In her discussions with Mr. Davis and Council Member Lester, questions arose
regarding what the Interlocal Agreement looked like and the associated costs for the City.
With that, Council Member Alvarado did not have an issue with having Mr. Davis and their Legal
Department start drafting an agreement. Unfortunately, Council Member Alvarado did not know
the proposed timeline,but she knew they could at least start with something knowing that they got
parameters that the BBB Committee and the Foundation were looking for. On another note, she
had sent the idea of the Battleship to the Southwest Edition of the Civic Association and their only
concern was the traffic that would be created down Missouri Street to Highway 146 which lead
right to the Bayland Marina. Council Member Alvarado wished to look into that as there would be
Y
new infrastructure updates to that subdivision.
As the wish list had not been made public, Council Member Betancourth noted her commentaries
might not make sense to everyone as the items were color coded. Nonetheless, Council Member
Betancourth's general comment regarding the concept of bringing the Battleship to Baytown was
that she agreed with it. However, she was not clear on when Council was supposed to start digging
into those details, such as assigning a price tag and figuring out the funding tools. Council Member
Betancourth reminded Council that if it was the City's intent to propose issuing debt for that, the
City's debt policy did require Council to have a conversation about putting that debt to the voter
as it was an asset that would be a want, not a need, of high community interest. Thus, if that were
the City's intent, Council would need to have a public discussion on whether that would go to the
voter.
Council Member Johnson agreed with Council Member Betancourth and Council Member
Alvarado since being a part of the Finance Committee, that was something that the Committee
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
May 12,2022
Page 7of13
added to the policy. Once it reached a certain threshold on the amount to be spent, Council would
have a discussion about it. Council Member Johnson wished to ask the question when they would
see a final amount to know if Council needed to have that discussion. The amount and information
that was shared with Council, the general public might not have. He noted that if it was going to
be around that proposed amount, Council would definitely need to talk about it.
Council Member Johnson was happy to see the five items Mr. Eshbach was not enthused about
marked off as he was not enthused about them himself. Still, Council Member Johnson's main
concern was about the cost. He inquired what the timeline the BBB Committee and the Foundation
were expecting an answer from the City and Mr. Eshbach replied after the Battleship was
approved, it would take a year to get all the permits. There were eight different entities that would
need those permits. The BBB talked to their Congressman who assured them that he could push it
through Congress and get their permits within six months. The Congressman stated he could do
that as soon as the City announced that the Battleship was coming to Baytown.
Mr. Eshbach had two points of clarification he wished to discuss. The dredging cost was about$20
million and stated they had two bids. Mr. Bramlett, the BBB, the Mayor, and the City Manager
had five closed-door meetings over the last nine months. Mayor Capetillo had told them,explicitly,
that the City would not put one penny into bringing the Battleship to Baytown. Mr. Eshbach
relayed Mayor Capetillo had repeated that time and time again. Thus, the BBB were ready to go
out with a national fundraising group to start raising funds. Any money that the City could help,
Mr. Eshbach stated that would be appreciated; however, he clarified they were not looking for$20
to $30 million dollars from the City. The BBB would like to get some money from the City to get
started, but they were ready to start fundraising. Mayor Capetillo did say he would pay half of the
fundraising costs. The BBB had interviewed and selected a company that worked with the
Battleship, the Alamo, and several other groups out of Houston as a national fundraiser.
Council Member Johnson sought clarification that Mayor Capetillo said to Mr. Eshbach that he
would pay for it and Mr. Eshbach reiterated that Mayor Capetillo told them repeatedly that the
City would not put one penny into bringing the Battleship. Council Member Alvarado confirmed
that was discussed during their Council Retreat. Council agreed that if the BBB Committee had a
fundraiser that would raise the money, the City would pay half towards that fundraiser—not
necessarily the money that was needed, but for the fundraiser.
In continuation of delivering his thoughts, Council Member Johnson saw marked off from the list
Mr. Eshbach provided that Baytown would be responsible for the maintenance dredging and
inquired on the backup plan for the dredging and the maintenance. Other than that, Council
Member Johnson was mainly concerned about the dollar amount as he wanted to be sure the City
was not left having to fend for a high dollar amount. Council Member Johnson asked Mr. Eshbach
how long they were expecting the Battleship to be at the location where it was going to be
renovated and Mr. Eshbach answered nine to twelve months. The BBB Committee realized that
Baytown, once voted on, would not be ready for the Battleship in nine to twelve months so, the
BBB and Mr. Bramlett had discussed it would have to be docked somewhere to continue the
restoration before it could be ready to come to Baytown.
Mr. Eshbach proposed the six to nine months of permitting would be the time the BBB would
fundraise. He stated they would not do any work until there was money in the bank and insuranced

from the fundraiser; however, their fundraiser person said they could start next week. Again, Mr.
Eshbach repeated any money the City put in would be appreciated,but it was not necessary because
they were going to go out and raise the funds.
Council Member Powell agreed with what had been said. Overall, he agreed with the concept of
bringing the Battleship to Baytown. It would all come down to what the costs were for the City,
which there may be none as Mr. Eshbach stated. Council Member Powell believed Council needed
to continue to push the matter forward. It sounded like the next step was to get that matrix before
Council to hammer out the details.
Mayor Pro Tern Presley agreed with the consensus of the Council and the matrix. As far as the
generalities went, it looked like there had been a meeting of the minds on some general terms,
which Mayor Pro Tern Presley was good with each and every one of those. It sounded like the
consensus was to move forward—whether it was a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"), a
contract, or whatever—to put something in writing. Mayor Pro Tern Presley hoped that the City
could incorporate its contribution to the fundraising campaign. He understood there were some
cost considerations that Council wanted to hear about and deliberate on; however, he hoped they
could work on both of those simultaneously.
Mr. Eshbach interposed to speak on another point. He noted there had been four studies on traffic
health over the last three years. Traffic health, in the first year, was projected to be $225,000 to
$275,000. Mr. Eshbach relayed several people said that was ridiculous, so he related the situation
to Pirates Bay where they had 185,000 people visit the year prior.
Mayor Pro Tem Presley sought clarification that the consensus was to have staff move forward on
crafting a MOU, a contract, or whatever it may be to get some of the terms discussed thus far on
paper. Also, simultaneously work on some of the cost considerations that the city would want to
look at in the future. Council Member Betancourth suggested, sooner rather than later, to have a
public meeting where Council could discuss that cost and determine whether to put that on the
election ballot. She explained there would be a time issue if that was wanted by the November
election. If Council wanted it on the ballot and it was not done in time,the City would have to wait
another whole year which was not acceptable to Council Member Betancourth.
Council Member Lester asked what was the limit to trigger the vote and Council Member
Betancourth answered, with the dollar figure, part of the matrix was if it were an asset of high
community interest, that would trigger a discussion. It was simply a discussion and did not dictate
whether it would go on the ballot. That would be up to Council. Council Member Lester
emphasized that discussion was paramount and was why he brought the item forward with his
fellow Council Members. Therefore, Council could reach a consensus to direct staff as staff were
already willing to go forward. Mayor Pro Tem Chris Presley previously indicated there appeared
to be a consensus on Council for staff to go ahead and develop a draft. Council Member Lester
stated if the numbers started to get too high, Council could give a not-to-exceed number. If a larger
facility was wanted, the BBB or the foundation would have to fund that additional portion. Thus,
Council Member Lester wished to move forward to get something in front of Council to have an
open discussion.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
May 12,2022

Mayor Pro Tern Presley agreed the consensus was to move forward. In his opinion, the sooner the
better. City Manager Davis believed it to be wise to move forward with an agreement that was not
specific to the costs,but have a not-to-exceed number. He explained that was because the City had
not done an evaluation of parking needs, the Hotel Convention Center was not in action yet, and
the museum facility had not been architecturally evaluated. Mr. Davis committed that he and the
Legal Department would employ no little amount of prestidigitation to put together an agreement
in a timely manner, as possible, to get that to Council in a Work Session.
Council Member Alvarado inquired where that funding would come from—the Municipal
Development District (MDD) or the City General Fund. Mr. Davis replied if the City was looking
at a not-to-exceed number that covered the two facilities and fundraising, it would be very
premature to have that discussion. Traditionally, staff would look to everything from the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD),MDD,the General Fund,or maybe
even Capital Improvement Funding(CIPF). He additionally noted Council would likely look at an
issuance depending on how far they were to get up on that ladder of the not-to-exceed number.
Council Member Alvarado notified Mr. Davis that the revised list, provided by Mr. Eshbach, had
the gift shop and museum taken off and Mr. Davis replied that would make a considerable
difference.
On a last note, Mr. Davis stated the City would retain control over where that facility would be
located. Likewise,there would be other things that the City would have to plan for that facility. He
wished to reiterate that the City did not have a parking solution because there was not yet a parking
problem and they did not know what the total impact would be. There were 409 parking spots at
the Hotel Convention Center and there was auxiliary parking at the boat ramp that was in the
hundreds. Mr. Davis presumed there were six or seven hundred parking places. At peak times,
there would be a need of an excess of four hundred so, Mr. Davis stated there would be a need for
a study and plan for some type of parking facility.

reconstruction would start in about a week or so and would last for ten months.
b. Receive a report from Council Member Jacob Powell as it relates to Council District

installed,there were surveys going up on Baytown Engage where citizens could provide feedback.
If those things were liked, it would be implemented in other parks. Moreover, Phase 1 of New
Castle Park was moving along. It had been moved from District 4 to District 5 and a cover had
