present at 6:30 P.M., and with all members present.
The Pledge of Allegiance, Texas Pledge, and Invocation were led by Council Member Alvarado.
1. MINUTES
The minutes of Item l.a. and 1.b.were submitted and transcribed by Assistant to the City Manager
Brian Moran.
a. Consider approving the minutes of the City Council Retreat, Day 1, held on January
17, 2023.
b. Consider approving the minutes of the City Council Retreat, Day 2, held on January
18,2023.
Mayor Capetillo announced a citizen, Mr. David Isaac, had signed up to speak on the item.
Mr. Isaac noted there was a mistake in the minutes of the City Council Retreat, Day 2, held on
January 18, 2023. It had listed Council Member Graham as District One (1) and Council Member
Alvarado as District Two (2). Furthermore, Mr. Isaac commented on the priorities Council
discussed at the Retreat.He expressed his opposition to the Mayor's priority of moving the election
to May as he had never heard that from the Mayor before in public. Further along the agenda, on
the City Council's Code of Conduct, Mr. Isaac also expressed his disapproval of no discussion

being recorded by the Staff present at the Retreat. Regarding changing the election cycle, he
requested Mayor Capetillo give his reasonings and communicate that with the Public.
Mayor Capetillo responded to Mr. Isaac's comments by first clarifying that the Retreat was an
open meeting. On the priorities, he explained that was an open discussion on different ideas from
Council. One of his ideas was moving elections from November to May. The reason was because
he had attended an event of an association of City Clerks/Secretaries from Southeast Texas. There,
he discovered only Baytown had elections in November amongst that group. Harris County also
could not guarantee eSlates at that time and the City did not know if they would have the ability
to hold an election. His perspective was to allow citizens to have local government selection
elections in May so they were not diluted in the masses that voted in November. Local selections
were at the bottom of the ballot and many citizens only vote for the president which diluted the
voice of the citizens of Baytown. Thus, moving the election would allow their voice to be heard
better.
City Manager Jason Reynolds also wished to clarify the Code of Conduct item in the minutes for
having no discussion. While it was on the agenda, on day one(1) of the Retreat,the City Attorney
gave Council their roles and responsibilities. Mr. Reynolds relayed the Code of Conduct was then
covered at that time; therefore, they did not need to cover it again on day two (2). With that, City
Attorney Scott Lemond informed Council they could amend the minutes to more accurately reflect
what happened. Mr. Reynolds added they could also make the corrections mentioned by Mr. Isaac.
A motion was made by Council Member Laura Alvarado and seconded by Council Member
Kenrick Griffith to approve the minutes of Items l.a. through 1.c. with corrections to the minutes
of Item 1.b., as mentioned. The corrections were to list Council Member Graham as District Two
(2) and Council Member Alvarado as District One (1). The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council
Member Sarah Graham, Council Member Kenrick Griffith, Council
Member Heather Betancourth, Mayor Pro Tem Jacob Powell, and Council
Member Mike Lester
Nays: None
Approved
NOTE: In regards to Item 1.c., no City Council Work Session was held along with the Regular
Meeting that took place on February 23, 2023.
c. Consider approving the minutes of the City Council Work Session and Regular
Meeting held on February 23,2023.
2. PROPOSED REZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 107.82 ACRES OF LAND
LOCATED ALONG THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF BLUE HERON PKWY,BETWEEN
BARKULOO RD AND CROSBY CEDAR BAYOU RD
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
March 9,2023
Page 3 of 15
a. Consider an ordinance concerning the city sponsored rezoning to amend the official
zoning map to rezone approximately 107.82 acres of land located along the southern portion
of the Blue Heron Parkway generally between Barkuloo Road and Crosby Cedar Bayou
Road, from Open Space/Recreation (OR) to Mixed Residential at Low to Medium Density
(SF2) and Mixed Use (MU) Zoning Districts.
Planning and Development Director Martin Scribner presented the item which had previously been
presented to Council last month. Mayor Pro Tern Powell had requested to give the residents of the
area more time to absorb the changes made to the Mixed Use(MU) District and also the potential
changes to their area. Mayor Capetillo also asked what the buffering might be between the MU
zone and the neighborhood to the south. Mr. Scribner answered it would be a twenty (20) foot
buffer with an opaque fence as per their standard. He reminded Council the item was to proactively
prepare for the development pressures the City was seeing in that area.The recommendations were
based on Staff input, online engagement, and a neighborhood open house. Mr. Scribner displayed
the proposed Zoning Amendment Map and noted nothing had changed since Council last saw it.
Mayor Capetillo announced a citizen, Mr. Gerald Teel, had signed up to speak on the item.
Mr. Teel recalled, about a year ago, Council had approved a Mid-Rise Density Mixed Residential
Dwellings(MF2)rezone on the north side of Blue Heron. He apologized due to his original project
becoming economically unfeasible.Now,they were moving to a fifteen(15)unit,two(2)and three
(3) story multifamily project. Mixed Residential at Low to Medium Density (SF2) was what he
was trying to move to and the proposed Zoning Amendment Map had MU and SF2 for his area.
While he was not sure what MU he would have, Mr. Teel thanked Council for the SF2 rezoning.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Jacob Powell and seconded by Council Member Mike
Lester to approve Ordinance No. 15,387, related to Item 2.a. However, there was discussion prior
to the vote.
Mayor Pro Tern Powell expressed his appreciation for giving residents extra time and he shared
the feedback he received throughout the entire process. Overall, he heard two main things: 1)
residents did not want apartments which could not go in to MU or SF2; and 2) residents did not
want the trees to be cut down. Mayor Pro Tem Powell expressed reluctance with cutting down
trees,but they had to allow property owners develop as they saw fit. Nevertheless,he believed the
item was moving in the right direction and he was in favor of the rezone as presented. Mayor
Capetillo also briefly commented his appreciation for the changes that further restricted the MU
Zoning District.
The vote for the motion on the table was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council
Member Kenrick Griffith, Council Member Heather Betancourth, Mayor
Pro Tern Jacob Powell, and Council Member Mike Lester
Nays: Council Member Sarah Graham

3. PROPOSED ORDINANCES
a. Consider an ordinance to change, confirm, and correct the spelling and identifying
name for roadways having inaccuracies in name between Harris County and the City of
Baytown.
Planning and Development Director Martin Scribner introduced the item to Council. In 2019,there
was a discrepancy between the spelling of a few streets between the County's records and the
City's records. Those items were voted on,but had not been corrected because of Harris County's
policy requiring an ordinance. As the City had done a resolution, the item was for housekeeping.
A motion was made by Council Member Heather Betancourth and seconded by Mayor Pro Tern
Jacob Powell to approve Ordinance No. 15,388, related to Item 3.a. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council

b. Consider an ordinance authorizing the Memorandum of Understanding with Orion
Engineered Carbons, LLC for the implementation framework for disannexation and an
Industrial District Agreement.
Planning and Development Director Martin Scribner relayed the item was for a proposed
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and Orion Engineered Carbons, LLC.
It was an aid for Orion in their purchase of thirteen and a half(13.5) acres from Chevron. It was
fully within the City's corporate limits and their intent was to develop a chemical byproduct
processing plant. The investment would be around $30 million over the next three(3)to three and
a half(3.5) years. In order to accomplish their endeavors, Orion intended to petition the City to
disannex their property. The disannexation would then allow the City to pursue an Industrial
Agreement (IDA). However, the MOU in question was to communicate the City's intent to
continue those conversations. Mr. Scribner stated it did not obligate the City to complete the
disannexation or the IDA. It was meant to give Orion a sense of comfort for going through the
purchase of the property itself.
Mayor Capetillo requested for Staffs opinion as he shared his projections of citizens' concerns
with the chemical processing plant. City Manager Jason Reynolds first responded with a bit of
history on the item. With regard to the Mayor's question, he replied Staff was split as it was both
a good and bad thing. It was good on an economic development aspect because it was a large entity
that would employ a lot of people in Baytown and would also bring additional development. Mr.
Reynolds reported they had extensive conversations on what the chemicals would be. Orion had
provided the City with a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) permit for their
La Porte location. Staff was split due to the question of what would be the benefit of disannexating.
Upon further questioning, Mr. Reynolds noted that because of other economic development
aspects,he was limited on what he could say. On a question about the current zoning,Mr. Scribner
replied the front portion of the property was zoned General Commercial(GC)and the rear portions
were zoned Low Density Single-Family(SF1). He additionally noted the property adjacent to the
West was recently rezoned to GC, so the entire forty(40) acres were GC. The classification for a
chemical processing plant would fall in to Industrial. Mayor Capetillo expressed that was an issue
for him which Council Member Lester echoed as he posed a few questions of his own.
Mr. Reynolds summarized the bad was that there would be a donut-hole on IH-10 with everything
surrounding it being annexed. The property would also go back to being annexed in to the City
after the seven (7) year IDA expired. He alternatively suggested they could pursue a Pilot
Agreement which was roughly an IDA for industry within City limits. Council requested more
information on that and the bigger picture. Mayor Capetillo commented he supported having along
the frontage more administrative functions like an office setting. Also, if the City wanted
residential properties to develop in that area, he did not think the chemical plant would help that
effort.

c. Consider an ordinance awarding a construction contract to Sequeira Civil
Construction, LLC for the Garth Road Reconstruction Project - Water/Wastewater Phase
A& B Utility Relocation.
Public Works and Engineering Director Frank Simoneaux explained to Council that the item was
for the first construction contract related to the Garth Road widening project. The proposed
contract was for the relocation of the City's water and wastewater lines along Garth Road between
IH-10 and North Road. The City needed to move those utility lines so they would not be under the
proposed pavement. Mr. Simoneaux stated the work would relocate those lines and auxiliary
structures to prepare for the widening of Garth Road. Staff anticipated that would come after the
utility relocation. The contractor would have two hundred and sixty (260) days to complete the
work and there had been one bidder on the project. Staff recommended approval of the item
awarding the construction contract to Superior Civil Construction for the amount of$7,881,593.
A motion was made by Council Member Laura Alvarado and seconded by Council Member
Heather Betancourth to approve Ordinance No. 15,389, related to Item 3.c. However, there was
discussion prior to the vote.
If approved, Mayor Pro Tem Powell wondered how quickly the contractor would get started. Mr.
Simoneaux replied it generally took a month or two to get the contract signed, have a
pre-construction meeting, and to get them onsite. He anticipated that would be no sooner than two
months.
The vote for the motion on the table was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council
Member Sarah Graham, Council Member Kenrick Griffith, Council
Member Heather Betancourth, Mayor Pro Tem Jacob Powell, and Council

Public Works and Engineering Director Frank Simoneaux relayed the item was related to the
second phase of the renovations at the East District Wastewater Treatment Plant. Phase One (1)
and Two (2) were both funded by Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). Mr.
Simoneaux noted Phase One(1) was about to start bidding and Staff was ready to start the design
of Phase Two (2). He further expanded on Phase Two (2) which included the replacement of
chemical feed,blower and press buildings,pumps, electrical equipment, lighting, fencing, and the
lift station.The total grant amount for Phase Two(2)was approximately$32 million and it covered
one hundred percent (100%) of the design contract. The design contract was $3,375,877 and was
expected to take sixteen (16) months. Mr. Simoneaux lasted shared Staff recommended approval
of the item.

4. REPORTS
a. Present the 2022 Racial Profiling Report.
Police Chief John Stringer presented the 2022 Racial Profiling Report to Council. During 2022,
the Baytown Police Department (BPD) conducted eleven thousand and sixty-one (11,061) traffic
stops at which racial profile data was collected in accordance with State Law. In ten thousand one
hundred and eighty-eight (10,188) of those events, the race of the person was not known prior to
the stop. Searches, be they are consensual or non-consensual, were conducted four hundred and
fifty-four (454) times or four percent (4%) of the total encounters prior to arrest. Six hundred
fifty-three (653) searches were not conducted until after an arrest on another probable cause,
warrant of arrest,or as an inventory for property entered for safekeeping or evidence. Arrests made
in result of those encounters were seven hundred and eighty-two (782) or seven percent (7%) of
the total stops.
Chief Stringer then provided and walked through the following racial profiling comparative
analysis graph:
2022 COMPARISON OF CITY DEMOGRAPHICS TO TRAFFIC STOPS
■Baytown Demographics ■Traffic Stop Demographics
50.80%
38.27% 29.70% 33.52% °
26.72/°
16.30%
1.40% 1.13% 0.30% 0.36%
Hispanic/Latino Caucasian African American Asian/Pacific Islander Alaskan
Native/American Indian
Chief Stringer stated those were all the categories BPD was required to report and the State did
not differentiate any further in to racial categories. According to census estimates, Baytown's
Hispanic proportion increased from 2021 to 2022. Conversely, Caucasian and African American
populations declined in Baytown during that same period. All other demographics remained
relatively the same. Likewise, traffic stop percentages mirrored that same change in the City's
demographics. Comparing 2022 to 2021 statistics, the percentage of traffic stops within the
Hispanic population increased while Caucasian and African American populations decreased.
Also, for both years, traffic stops within all other demographics closely resembled their
populations' proportions.

Upon review of the data presented in the report and regular review of body cameras and recordings
by supervisory Staff, they had not found any evidence indicating that BPD nor any individual
personnel within the Department had engaged in racial profiling behavior. The complete report
was submitted to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement(TCOLE)per State Law in January.
Chief Stringer relayed the report was available on TCOLE's website which he provided to Council.
5. DISCUSSIONS
a. Receive and discuss a presentation regarding the new Utility Billing software from
Tyler Technologies.
Information Technology Services (ITS) Director Ed Tomjack introduced the item on the
presentation of the new Utility Billing software. Mr. Tomjack first noted that Staffs intention was
to go live with the software on March 27th. Council had approved the purchase of MUNIS UB
software in March 2020. Mr. Tomjack acknowledged three (3) years was a long time; however,
the City had gone through a pandemic and all the related issues with that. The primary reason for
the purchase was for better customer management, reporting, billing operations, and hub-type
features.
To announce the change to the public, notifications would be given through the newspaper and
also bill backers which had gone out to customers on their last bill. In addition,the City would put
out a direct mailer to all citizens with their Account Customer ID so they would know how to
subscribe to the system. Their website would have information as well as their social media per
the Public Affairs Department. With that, Mr. Tomjack introduced the core team that had been
with the project since its inception: Utility Billing Manager Marcus Curry, Utility Billing
Coordinator Arleen Doucet, Meter Operations Supervisor Alfred Lopez, and ITS System
Administrator Levi Masterson. Mr. Curry then demonstrated and walked through the customer
portal with Council.
For service requests,Council Member Alvarado questioned if the customer portal had the function
to see the status on that. Mr. Curry confirmed it did. Council Member Betancourth questioned if
there was a landlord feature for people who owned multiple properties and were having to turn
utilities on and off. Did it have such feature that would not have them reapply for the service? Mr.
Curry replied not on the customer portal, but that was possible on the City of Baytown's website.
Council Member Lester wished to clarify if the new portal would be optional considering he had
many constituents that had difficulties with technology. Mr. Curry confirmed it was optional.
Mayor Capetillo inquired if citizens were on the automatic bank draft, could they also opt out of
paper bills and only receive an e-bill, text, or email? Mr. Curry answered they could. Mayor
Capetillo then encouraged Council to consider ways for people with automatic drafts and that
opted out of paper billing to have cost savings. He wanted to pursue those types of activities maybe
in the next budget year and he requested additional data points be provided for that. Regarding
those that opted to go all paperless and the City were to send a notice out on paper utility bills,
Council Member Lester questioned if they would get that notification via their email systems or
whatever the case may be. Mr. Curry confirmed so and assured that those citizens would be
notified.

b. Discuss and consider for action a direction to the City Manager to designate
Juneteenth as an official Employee Holiday in the City of Baytown.
City Manager Jason Reynolds explained the item designating Juneteenth as an official Employee
Holiday was brought back because it had previously been tabled. He respectfully requested that
they discuss the matter through the budget process if Council would be okay with that. Mayor
Capetillo stated that would be perfectly fine. However, he commented that he had brought the
matter forth for consideration because he was told that they may be able to accommodate that for
the current budget year. He would still be happy if they established it and then look at it further in
the budget for 2024. Nonetheless, he believed it was the right thing to do and that they should at
least pursue it weighing all their options before they made a decision.
