3. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mayor Capetillo announced a citizen, Ms. Jessica Perez, had signed up to speak on the item.
Ms. Perez wished to bring awareness to the crosswalk in front of San Jacinto Elementary and
requested Council to look in to that with Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District
(GCCISD). She relayed they would have six hundred(600) students starting school in a couple of
weeks. As they only had one(1) crosswalk,it could not accommodate them. She further noted that
three hundred (300) of their students had a"no bus"option and would have to walk.
Mayor Capetillo announced Former Mayor Calvin Mundinger had signed up to speak on the item.
Mr. Mundinger wished to speak about the proposed drilling operation in Scott Bay. He relayed
that there were certain types of fish in the bay which was not the case back in the sixties due to
heavy pollution. In passing the Clean Water Act, they cleaned up the bay and the fish returned.
Those toxins were still there, but dormant and harmless. Disturbed, however, Mr. Mundinger ex-
plained that they would have an environmental disaster with all those toxins released. All the fish
and marine life would be contaminated and it would spread to Crystal and Burnett Bay as well. As
his time to speak was up, Mayor Capetillo entertained a motion to extend his time to speak.
A motion was made by Council Member Kenrick Griffith and seconded by Council Member Mike
Lester to extend the time of the citizen speaker for three(3)minutes. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo,Council Member Laura Alvarado,Council Mem-
ber Sarah Graham, Council Member Kenrick Griffith, Council Member

Mr. Mundinger continued to share that this was tried back in 2001, but that they had stopped it.
He discussed how the City of Baytown formally opposed that permit. With that said, Mr.
Mundinger relayed that the damage this would do to the vitality and cleanliness of their bays would
be terrible.Not only that,the word would get out about the contaminants and pollutants in the bays
of Baytown. He stated that would impact their image and impact them economically.Nevertheless,
he hoped they could resolve this to everybody's mutual satisfaction.
4. MUNICIPAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-24
a. Receive the City Manager's Proposed Municipal Budget and budget message for
Fiscal Year 2023-24.
City Manager Jason Reynolds introduced the item and provided a PowerPoint presentation with
the discussion topics listed below. But first, he noted that the tax rate would not be addressed that
day. Those numbers would be sent to Council via email before their Budget Workshops. With that
settled, he proceeded with his presentation as follows:
Purpose—Provide the FY2024 Draft Budget for the City Council and Baytown Citizens in preparation for
the budget workshops.
Intention and Goal—For Council to receive the FY2024 Draft Budget.
Before continuing, Mr. Reynolds announced that they were in good financial shape. He reiterated
that several times because he would present data that would make Council question what he just
said. However, he was bringing issues to them that were fixable. It was imperative that they iden-
tified where they were at so that they could make adjustments along the way. With those adjust-
ments, the budget in front of them could change to be more sustainable in the future. He continued
his presentation by walking through and discussing the information below.

•Revenue Expense-Ops
Mr. Reynolds relayed he would like to spend time with Council to review all of their programs
and services. He also highlighted that they had many positive additions and revenue generators on
the horizon. However, if they continued to spend the way that they have, the additional revenue
would be for nothing. Their next steps would be the August 15th and 16th Budget Work Sessions
where Council would have an in-depth look at all the things mentioned and more.
For the Budget Work Sessions, Council Member Alvarado requested to have something prepared
perhaps by the departments that had attrition coming up as they were not adding personnel to the
budget. What would that look like? She wished to have those discussions at the Budget Sessions.

b. Consider an ordinance authorizing a purchase agreement with American Pioneer
Investments Inc, for Parcel 5, located at 2900 Market Street, Baytown, Texas 77520 as part
of the Market Street Revitalization Project.
Public Works and Engineering Assistant Director Michael Leech presented the item to Council.
The item was for a purchase associated with the Market Street Revitalization Project. It was dis-
cussed with Council a few weeks ago where they granted a Public Necessity for Market Street.
Mr. Leech noted Harris County was managing the engineering associated with this project. One of
the responsibilities of the City of Baytown was to acquire the right-of-way, or property,necessary
for the project. An image was displayed of the track in question located at 2900 Market Street.
Purchase Agreement Details
• Total Cost: $848,883.84(including closing costs)
• Closing Date Anticipated within 30 Days
• Owner Has 60 Days After Closing to Vacate Property
As the site was It gas station, Council Member Lester inquired if they Iliad environmental testing
done. Mr. Leech replied there was preliminary environmental testing associated with the Market
Street Project. Once this location was procured,they would have to go through additional environ-
mental testing. Council Member Lester question if they secured this and later found out it was a
hazardous site, where they stuck with it? Mr. Leech answered, yes, they would be.

Upon further questioning, Mr. Leech relayed the proposed use for the property was for a roadway
to go over it. As such, it was a low-risk use. City Manager Jason Reynolds gave a brief history on
the project and the difficulties they have had with the owner. He felt that if they were to delay this
more, at that point they would have to go to eminent domain. Thus, Council needed to assess the
risk on either moving with more studies for environmental purposes or to acquire it.
Council Member Graham commented over another gas station that was replaced with a roadway
and,because of that,she was willing to gamble on this. In lieu of additional questioning,Mr. Leech
made note of the procedures associated with gas or fuel tanks in the ground. Council Member
Alvarado noted that these questions did come up with the neighborhood. However, the majority
believed that the improvement was needed and outweighed the concerns.
A motion was made by Council Member Laura Alvarado and seconded by Council Member Sarah
Graham to approve Ordinance No. 15,490, related to Item 7.b. The vote was as follows:
