CITIZEN COMMENTS Mayor Charles Johnson announced citizens signed up to speak. Janice Carroll 3210 Indian Trail stated "Good afternoon, Council, Mayor, City Attorney and City Manager. I live nestled in between Creekside Apartments and Park of Sorrento, which has recently been a concern for safety. I have had two murders in the last two years there. There's a lot of foot traffic that walks between Creekside and Park of Sorrento. I have lived there since 2012. 1 am a citizen of Baytown for 34 years. In 2023, our HOA approached then City Assistant Attorney re- garding who was responsible for what in our neighborhood. Upon their research, I don't know what all that involved; it was then deemed that our whole neighborhood was considered private. I did not buy an apartment. It is not a gated community. If you look at the tax rolls, I live in a single- family home. I pay taxes every year, like every other person that lives in a home in the City of Baytown. However, we are told that we are not entitled to get street care and repairs. A host of other things has occurred. This simple email that was provided to our HOA president empowered him to go file it in the real property records and start towing cars. He pretended that we were an apartment complex and put signs up everywhere. The courts told him he had to take down the signs and not tow any more cars and that was that. I also tried to address this directly with the \City Manager, City Attorney, Planning Manager and also my Council person, Mr. Franco. The fact that City Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 10, 2025 Page 2 of 15 the City Attorney had gotten involved, I felt like I needed more support. I did reach out to my State Representatives being Briscoe Cain and Mays Middleton. Briscoe Cain personally appeared along with Mays Middleton's surrogate. During that meeting, it was determined and realized that phase two was public not private, but phase one was private. However, we have the same governing documents for phase one and phase two. From that point on, I sent a letter to them all thanking them for their time, recapping what we had agreed to and what was acknowledged. The private signs came down and then we had a sinkhole. At that time, I decided I was going to take it upon myself, I'm to figure out why phase one is showing private and phase two is public. I again began talking with Harris Central. I sent them plat, plat, replat every document, every declaration, eve- rything I had. This is going on in the background and meanwhile, we had a sinkhole. I have a sinkhole behind my house. I reported it repeatedly, repeatedly, then it becomes that it was not being responded to and then told they are looking into it. If you'll look on your tabs, the second to the last tab, you will see my conversation with Kevin Hilyard. You will also notice the City trucks out there repairing numerous holes in our streets. I repeatedly reported the sinkhole behind my house. Finally, you all came out and repaired the sinkhole on the other end of Indian Trail. Since all of this has occurred, my diligence and efforts working with Hams Central have determined that it was an error on their behalf of the way the plat was recognized in the system. On the last page they have now deemed it all public." A motion was made by Council Member James Franco and seconded by Council Member Laura Alvarado to extend Ms. Carroll's time by one minute. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Mayor Charles Johnson, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council Member Sarah Graham, Council Member Kenrick Griffith, Council Member James Franco, Mayor Pro Tern Jacob Powell and Council Member Mike Lester Nays: Approved Don Aikey, 410 Rollingwood Rd stated, "Since everybody loves to hear all my negative comments about things, I'm going to have a positive comment. I drove out to the Nature Center today and that is the last park that I know of where Baytown has been breaking the law with the way they use rubber nuggets in the playgrounds. Since I started with my letter to everyone on the City Coun- cil the Legal Department and Baytown Center, it only took 1,199 days for you all to finally get to where you follow the law. I want to congratulate you, since my major in college is environmental science, I got about five more big projects against Baytown and you will see me in two weeks. Have a great day." 2.
