The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Mundinger Hinds, Godwin, and Sheley Mayor Alfaro Nays: None Abstained: Mayor's Comments Council Member Almendarez Mayor Alfaro proclaimed October Voter Awareness Month and urged all registered citizens to vote on November 2, 1999. Consider Proposed Resolution No. 991014 -1, Supporting the Expansion of the Port of Houston at Bayport to Increase Regional Prospects, Continue Economic Growth, and Keep Houston at the Forefront of World Trade The cities along the ship channel are being asked to express their support of the Port of Houston Expansion. The port is vital to the economic stability of this area and must be expanded to maintain its competitive position in the world trade markets. Specifically, the port must expand its container handling ability or lose business to other competing East Coast and Gulf Coast seaports. The container business has been growing seven to ten percent a year. Barber's Cut is filled and continuing to grow. The Port needs the terminal in order to retain business and continue to grow. Port Commissioner Jimmy Burke and Director of Public Affairs Rosie Barrera spoke to Council in support of the expansion at Bayport and offered to answer any questions Council might have. Council Member Almendarez said that he was concerned about any increase in traffic over the Fred Hartman Bridge since it has been declared a hazardous route. He stated that traffic and noise greatly affect his district. Ms. Barrera said that she monitored and participated in the Houston - Galveston Area Council to ensure that this region received the transportation funds for this region and that freight traffic needs are included. She noted that a study conducted by the Transportation Center at Texas Southern in September 991014 -3 Minutes of the Regular Session — October 14, 1999 1999 found that in order to get to State Highway 146, eighty -seven percent of the trucks are using State Highway 225 and four percent are crossing Hartman Bridge. In addition, a truck weighing station is being considered. Mayor Alfaro pointed out that it would take $25 Million to complete Spur 330 and that since there would be more traffic from Bayport, Baytown would need support from TxDOT to finish this project and place sound barriers in Council Member Almendarez's district and on Garth Road. He stated that an Environmental Impact Statement from the Corps of Engineers would be necessary. Ms. Barrera responded that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been requested and that the EIS would address every concern. Ms. Barrera emphasized that the Port was very active in working with H -GAC and TxDOT to acquire every bit of transportation money available for this area and would lobby for improvements for the area. She said that forty -nine percent of the product coming through the Port of Houston is staying in Houston. Information will be furnished the City from several ongoing studies. Commissioner Burke assured Council that the commissioners were committed to working with the small cities particularly on traffic situations. He said several cities had pointed out the need for grade separations that do not exist now. Council Member Hinds moved to adopt the resolution. Council Member Godwin seconded the motion. Council Member Sheley commented that he thought Council should address all bond issues for the betterment of Baytown. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Almendarez, Mundinger Hinds, Godwin, and Sheley Mayor Alfaro Nays: None RESOLUTION NO. 1403 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, SUPPORTING THE EXPANSION OF THE PORT OF HOUSTON AT BAYPORT TO INCREASE REGIONAL PROSPERITY, CONTINUE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND KEEP HOUSTON AT THE FOREFRONT OF WORLD TRADE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. 991014 -4 Minutes of the Regular Session — October 14, 1999 Consider Proposed Resolution No. 991014 -2, Authorizing the Submission of an Application to the Houston - Galveston Area Council for a Grant to Fund Three New Counselor Positions within the Police Department for a Family Violence Program through the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Presently, on -site intervention and counseling for such victims is provided by Bay Area Women's Center. However, Police Department counselors responding to the scene would provide intervention that is more effective for victims. Counselors' duties will include legal advocacy, court accompaniment, filing for protective orders, interface with the District Attorney, Police, and other community services designed to break the cycle of family violence. As its in -kind match, the City will provide office space, computers, etc. This is a 100 percent grant for at least two years and may be extended to three. Council Member Mundinger moved to adopt the resolution. Council Member Sheley seconded the motion. Council Member Sheley asked if these counselors were going to spend more time in court or working with victims. Chief Shaffer said that the counselors probably will not testify since they will not be at the scene until after the incident has occurred. Also, the counselors will refer people to agencies for help and accompany victims to court if necessary. He said that counselors will have degrees in psychology, and the department will train every police officer in the department in family violence issues. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Almendarez, Mundinger Hinds, Godwin, and Sheley Mayor Alfaro Nays: None RESOLUTION NO. 1404 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, TO MAKE APPLICATION TO THE HOUSTON -GALVESTON AREA COUNCIL FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME ACT GRANT FUNDS; DESIGNATING AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATION; ASSURING PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE OF GRANT FUNDS; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. 991014 -5 Minutes of the Regular Session — October 14, 1999 Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 991014 -1, Setting the Public Hearing on Regulated Cable Rates and Equipment Submitted by Texas Cable Partners, L.P., ( "TCP "), on FCC Forms 1240 "Updating Maximum Permitted Rates for Regulated Cable Services" and Form 1205 "Determining Regulated Equipment and Installation Costs" at 6:35 p.m. on October 28, 1999, in the Council Chambers of City Hall Rates to be charged by Texas Cable Partners, L.P. ( "TCP ") have been under consideration since early 1999 with an original filing in March on which a public hearing was held. However, an amendment was made to that filing; necessitating another public hearing. A copy of the new rates (1999 Rate Change Summary) is enclosed for your information. The revised hourly service charge calculation and related installation rates have no change or a substantial decrease. The rate adjustment for basic and expanded basic is largely due to an increase in program license fees (the fees that Texas Cable Partners must pay cable networks for the right to carry these popular services on their system). Council Member Hinds moved to adopt the ordinance. Council Member Almendarez seconded the motion.
