1. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mayor Capetillo announced citizens signed up to speak.
a. Linda Miks,6427 Crosby Cedar Bayou Rd.,commented,"I'm going to address some in the
past. It says,I and many of other residents addressed the city council for the first time in September
2017, again in October and November, asking not to be annexed. All of these pleas fell upon deaf
ears. Three months later, five different areas were annexed, mine included, against residents
wishes. I read a statement from the Baytown Sun dated November 27th, 2017. This is a statement
from the Mayor,then Stephen Don Carlos,stating that a new state law will go in effect concerning
annexations. Senate Bill 6 requiring citizens vote for approval on annexation. He stated the law
was changing and they needed to do 30 years of planning in a very short time. Did the City even
have the funds to back up these 30 years?Much less the annexations given us full services. So far,
we've received none, and it's six and a half years since. In my opinion, this was no better than
lying, cheating, and stealing. The way we were annexed was wrong on so many levels. I am ad-
dressing the council for the third time this year, asking to be de-annexed. This Council has the
right to make it right. They have the power to take the wrong away. That's all."

b. Kathy Vanderbeek,4403 Crosby Cedar Bayou Road, commented, "We are coming before
you tonight to continue to ask to be de-annexed. We're not going anywhere. It was unfair how
quickly we were rushed through. We bought our home knowing that we were not within the city
limits. And since being annexed, why are some people that were annexed at the same time not
paying city taxes? I'm referring to an account number, 0591500200188. They have not paid one
penny of city taxes since we were annexed, and they are and was included in that annexation. We
will be here every time you have a City Council meeting because we want this rectified. We don't
want to be in the city. Thank you."
c. James Kaminski,623 Lauren Lane,commented,"Back in September and October of 2017,
I spoke regarding the annexation. I brought up the cost of what it would take for me to tie in, at
that time,it was approximately$50,000 for running water and sewer,the$5,200 tie-in meter. Now
I got estimates from a plumbing company for these. I haven't gotten a recent one, but I would
imagine they've gone up just like everything else to be closer to $80,000 or $90,000. I don't see
how it would be right for that cost to be burdened to me when there's not even lines up there.We're
far, everyone from Cedar Bayou Lynchburg to Blue Heron is far enough off the road, that the
ordinance wouldn't make us tie in. We're further than 100 feet off the road. So, save the city some
money. Don't put it in there. Save me money because I will never get that money back if I ever try
to sell my house, that's just money I'll sink in now that I didn't have to before. I'm self-sufficient
with a well and septic. I don't need those services. Thank you."
d. Joe McCall, 4622 N. Highway 146, commented, "It was in a storm freeze in 2021. Two
years the limitation is gone. I'm not involved with any lawyers or any insurance companies. The
City of Baytown denied me my permits for electrical plumbing. I am homestead, and I wish to get
all of my permits so I can proceed with the repairs or remodeling of my home. It's been from 1-
26-2024 to now. I had one response today, and I set up a meeting for Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. in their
office for the permits to see why they denied me. I would like a recall back from City Council for
me to figure out what's my next step if they don't give me my permits."
Mayor Capetillo thanked the citizens for expressing their concerns and asked the City Manager to
place an item on a future agenda pertaining to annexation.

b. Consider an ordinance adding the newly annexed property generally described
as approximately 54.589 acre tract of land out of Restricted Reserve"A"Blk 1 of the Replat
of Restricted Reserve "A" of Cedar Crossing Phase II Subdivision, herein described tract
being out of the residue of that called 102.12 acre tract, save and except a 14.229 acre tract
conveyed to Cedar Crossing,situated in the John Steele Survey,Abstract No.227,Chambers
County, Texas, and all property situated in Industrial District No. 3 required for the
described annexation into Council District No.6.
A motion was made by Council Member Mike Lester and seconded by Council Member Jacob
Powell to open Item 5.b. for discussion.
City Manager Jason Reynolds commented, "This has been an ongoing issue for months at this point that
we've been trying to work with the property owners.We are also working with Cedarport.Overall,we are
going to recommend that we move forward with the annexation this evening. With that said, it is not
completely final until the Mayor and I sign the documents.We'll continue to work with both parties at this
point. If we move forward with annexations,the document does not have to be signed at this point in time
and it gives us a day or two to continue to work with Cedarport and the property owner, Texas Properties
LLC.Instead of trying to rush through an IDA,this is a safeguard for the city at this point to move forward
with the annexation. It is not the path that we wanted to go with by any stretch of the imagination. It's just
going to need more time. We are at a time crunch where the city has to take action. So, I will recommend
to council that we move forward with this annexation,which is not anything that has been really discussed.
We were always very optimistic that we were going to take care of the IDA before it got to this meeting
tonight.And unfortunately,this is where we are at today".
A motion was made by Council Member Mike Lester and seconded by Council Member Jacob
Powell to approve Ordinance No. 15,721,related to Item 5.b. The vote was as follows:

Planning and Development Services Assistant Director Ryan Hvitlok advised Council the REME
Financial,LLC is requesting a 12-month extension to their detailed plan for the San Jacinto Cottage
Plan Unit Development.
Phillip Carey representative of the San Jacinto Cottage Planned Unit Development commented,
"Just that since over the last few months we've actually submitted all of our civil designs so we're
very well into the process and have proceeded with moving forward with this thing. We're waiting
to pull permits, property taxes, all that are current. So, we're continuing to spend money on this
site to get it rocking and rolling".
Mayor Capetillo asked, "Is there a timeframe when you expect to pull the permits?"
Mr.Carey responded,"So permits are essentially ready to be pulled with exception just to a couple
minor issues but our vertical is getting figured out. We've actually brought in a group, BLG and
Rocky Lai who did self-wins here with you guys and they're going to be a pretty important part of
this piece moving forward. So, I'm hoping, I'd like to say maybe in the second quarter to fourth
quarter,but I think sometime in 2024 there's going to be some dirt moving out there."

6. PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS
a. Consider a resolution authorizing the publication of the Notice of Intention to issue
Certificates of Obligation; approving the preparation of one or more preliminary official
statements; and providing for the effective date thereof.
Finance Director Teresa McKenzie reminded Council of the previous discussions of the proposed
debt for FY 24 for the Capital Improvement Projects. This Notice of Intention is a Certificate of
Obligation with several fund components to include the General Fund CIP of 15 million, Storm
Water Fund of 16.8 million, TIRZ Fund of 7.5 million, and Water and Sewer CIP Fund of 19.9
million. Although the entire seal is secured by ad valorem tax, the intent for the other debt other
than general fund will be paid by the revenue source indicated as long as that revenue is generated.
Combining the seal simply saves the city on their bond issuance costs and this bond issuance is
not to exceed$60 million. The proposed debt was presented to the finance committee on February
8th. Staff recommends approval.
Council Member Powell commented, "On behalf of the finance committee, we reviewed each of
the funding or the revenue sources for this.The staff did a great job of answering all our questions
as far as what revenue was available that could support this amount of debt and from what we have
available,the budget can support this amount of debt for the years to come."
Council Member Powell commented,"I know I said as finance we looked at can the budget support
this but for me personally, I think it's another question of or it can should it support that? I know
I've stated before that I don't like to see non-emergency debt issued. I just think some of the items
on this list,we don't need to issue debt for them. I think we could do a better job of tightening our
belts through the budget process and I think there's some of these items that just taking out debt is
unnecessary. So, I'm opposed to it for that reason."
Mayor Pro Tem Alvarado commented, "I'm speaking from both committees since I was a part of
both of them and I think what's important to note as well is that we are receiving funds from other
entities precinct too, for some of these projects under storm water utilities. That was one of the
decision factors that we made in terms of keeping some of those projects because we definitely
never want to turn away money from other entities to be able to complete a project."
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Laura Alvarado and seconded by Council Member Kenrick
Griffith to approve Resolution No. 2888,related to Item 6.a. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Mayor Pro Tem Laura Alvarado, Council
