RECOGNITIONS AND CITIZEN COMMUNICATIONS City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 09, 2015 Page 2 of 12 a. Ms. Wanda Carter requested to appear before the Council regarding the Baytown Animal Shelter. Ms. Wanda Carter presented the agenda item and stated that the Baytown animal shelter is in need of better management therefore a petition has been formed by herself and the group called Citizens For a Change at Baytown Animal Control with the request of hiring experienced and/or licensed employees, as well as, implementing programs that will assist the Baytown Animal Control with housing strayed animals and the issue of the overpopulation of animals in the city. Jennifer Mandujano, Kristina Kane, Lou Sisk, Lynn Urlaub, Kathy Zeagler, VaDonna Howell, Jay Garrett, and Elaine Morris all registered to speak before Council regarding agenda item La. Ms. Jennifer Mandujano stated that the stray animals are disregarded and should be networked better. Ms. Kristina Kane stated that she works with three (3) local rescues in the Houston area and recently they pull predominantly from Baytown. She stated that the Baytown shelter's policy and procedures don't adhere to their outline. She further stated that the rescues main priority is to help stop the over population of animals and recommended that Baytown implement the Spay, Neuter, and Vaccination Program to assist with this solution. Ms. Lou Sisk stated that she's a coordinator for rescues and coordinated rescues out at the Baytown Shelter as a volunteer from October of last year until the end of May. She stated that with the help of Patti Jett she set up the Baytown Animal Shelter Pet Facebook Page in January to continue networking the animals which resulted in 337 rescued animals from January through May compared to 20 rescued animals this same timeframe last year. She stated that she was asked to lie about a shelter employee to her supervisor when state came in last month and when she didn't do it was verbally abused which made it impossible to return to the shelter. She stated that she would like to return to the shelter to continue working the animals so that they can be rescued. Ms. Lynn Urlaub stated that she recently moved here from Chicago in August and visited the Baytown Animal Shelter in October to rescue a dog (Snickers). She stated that the same day Snickers was taken to Pet Smart to be vetted and they recognized that the dog had a chip which no on from the Baytown Shelter bothered to check. She stated that the shelter needs new management. Ms. Kathy Zeagler stated that education is the key to making this shelter better and requested changes to be made for the betterment of the animals and the community. Ms. VaDonna Howell stated that she agrees with the other speakers, but because she was told by the Director that the facility is considered an animal control and not an animal shelter she needed clarity as to which is correct. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 09, 2015 Page 3 of 12 Mr. Jay Garrett stated that in 2014, the kill rate for the number of dogs was 68% and the number of cats was 92% according to the Baytown Animal Controls monthly reports. He stated that the reports were inaccurate and it was brought to the City's attention but nothing was done about it. He stated that Baytown's kill rate compared to the national average is 18% higher and with the major growth of this city attention should be aimed towards growth in the shelter. Ms. Elaine Morris stated that she moved her about two (2) years ago and discovered that there was a cat issue in the apartment complex where she lived and when contacting Mike Lester was told that there were no funds to assist with the issue. She stated that she volunteers for rescues and changes need to be made immediately During further discussion, the consensus of the Council was to visit the Animal Control facility, have an audit conducted, and make a plan to address the results of the audit for a resolution to the issues. City Manager Davis stated with respects to having a quorum for the visit to the facility, a notice is needed and time will be allowed for the absent council members to be updated. b.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT a. Consider a resolution adopting the revised Homebuyers' Assistance Program Guidelines. Mrs. June Tyler presented the agenda item and stated that the Community Development Block Grant ( "CDBG ") programs deals with limited funding, therefore the Community Development Division reviews all programs on a frequent basis, in order to maximize how the limited Community Development Block Grant ( "CDBG ") dollars are spent locally. She stated that every year staff evaluates the programs on its effectiveness and in doing so recognized that the once popular Homebuyers' Assistance Program has experienced a steady decline in activity with closing on as many as 22 homes in the past to closing on 14 in 2013, eight (8) in 2014 and two (2) so far in 2015. She stated that due to a lack of participation, Staff consulted with area realtors, lenders and residents who inquired about the program, but eventually purchased a home without the grant funding. She stated that the consultations overwhelming resulted with the maximum sale price being too low and in doing research found out that the average sales price of a home in Baytown is $175,000. She stated that they also found out that $105,000 and below is considered an at risk loan, so when a low to moderate income person tries to purchase a home at $105,000 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 09, 2015 Page 7 of 12 they're being denied for that mortgage. Additionally, Mrs. Tyler stated that Staff is proposing an increase in the maximum sales price from $105,000 to $140,000. A motion was made by Council Member Robert C. Hoskins and seconded by Council Member Chris Presley approving Resolution No. 2363. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Council Member Robert C. Hoskins, Council Member David McCartney, Council Member Terry Sain, Council Member Chris Presley Nays: None Other: Mayor Stephen DonCarlos (Absent), Mayor Pro Tern Brandon Capetillo (Absent), Council Member Mercedes Renteria III (Absent) Approved RESOLUTION NO. 2363 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, ADOPTING THE CITY OF BAYTOWN'S HOMEBUYERS' ASSISTANCE PROGRAM GUIDELINES; PROVIDING FOR A REPEALING CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. b. Discuss the 2015 -2019 Citizen Participation Plan (the "Plan) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. C. Discuss the HUD 5 -Year Consolidated Plan (the "Plan ") for 2015 -2019 for the City of Baytown. d. Discuss the 2015 -2016 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) budget as recommended by the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC). Mrs. Tyler presented agenda items 4.b., 4.c.and 4.d. altogether. She stated that Citizens Participation Plan discusses how the City will gain input from the public in regards to the all CDBG programs, sets forth rules for public hearings and meetings, and tell time and place of advertising. She stated that the 5 -Year Consolidated Plan sets priorities and describes how HUD's resources will be used locally for the next five (5) years. She stated that once the priorities are set any changes thereafter must be approved by HUD first. She further stated that the action plan describes how the CDBG funds will be spent for the 2015 -2016 year only. She stated that in order to assure compliance with all three (3) plans they awarded a contract with Ms. Peg Purser, with MKP Consultants. She stated that Ms. Purser has worked with the City before and will discuss the consolidated plan in which this will be the 4`h one she's done for the City of Baytown. Ms. Peg Purser stated that the Citizens Participation Plan has been in effect for about 20 years and must be updated for the consolidated plan. She stated that the two major changes made to the City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 09, 2015 Page 8 of 12 Citizen Participation Plan which included the first change being that the City decides what constitutes a substantial amendment to the consolidated plan or the action plan. She stated that traditionally for Baytown it has been that if 25% or more of the allocation is being moved from one project to another, from HUD that constitutes a substantial amendment and although HUD leaves it up to the City to decide, they don't like it to be greater than 20% moved; therefore, she stated that the amendment threshold is being proposed to be decreased to 20% of the annual allocation from one project to another or for a new project. Ms. Purser stated that the second change was adding more strength to the Section 3 hiring requirements which is a federal requirement that any entity getting federal funds at different levels must do due diligence at the extent possible hire low income individuals primarily from the City. During further discussion, Ms. Purser stated that the Consolidated Plan requires extensive citizen and community input in which they did. She stated that they submitted the results from the surveys to the CDAC to set the priorities for the need of the community. She stated that the plan priorities included decent housing, suitable living environment, and economic opportunity. She stated that of the three (3) priorities that the CDAC set forth, they listed projects that they have a high priority to fund, but may subject to change which includes: housing rehabilitation, housing energy efficiency improvements, accessibility improvements for the disabled, housing demolitionlreconstruction, down - payment assistance and counseling for 151 time buyers, fair housing assistance and education to renters /landlords, demolition of unsafe abandoned structures, neighborhood parks, including improved lighting, code enforcement and neighborhood clean- ups, transportation services, new and improved sidewalks including improved lighting, and senior and disabled services. Ms. Purser stated that although some of the projects may not be funded they are included just in case to avoid having to do a substantial amendment. Council Member McCartney stated in regards to the housing rehabilitation that in the past certain houses were chosen for complete rehabilitation and he would like to see the funds shared among more houses to prevent them from getting to a dilapidated state of being demolished. During further discussion of the Action Plan, Ms. Purser stated that the anticipated funding is $651,748 for annual allocation, $20,000 for unexpended, and $5,000 for program income. She stated that the CDAC's funding recommendations are as follows: $97,275 for substandard structure abatement; $6,000 for neighborhood improvement programs; $327,390 for housing activities; $72,579 for City of Baytown community development transportation; $12,000 for Baytown Resource Center Shoe program; $4,500 towards the Baytown evening optimists youth football; $6,000 towards Bay Area Homeless Services Project Bridge; $8,000 Communities in Schools School Daze College/Business; and $143,004 towards program administration. Council Member McCartney inquired how to address homelessness situations in the city. Ms. Purser stated that there were two problems: 1) because of the size of Baytown, it doesn't receive specific emergency solution grant funds from HUD and there aren't enough economies of scale for a lot of the homeless service providers to be in the immediate Baytown area. Council Member McCartney further inquired if Baytown partnering with some of the surrounding smaller communities would qualify to receive one in a better proximity rather than going all the way into Houston. In response to Council Member McCartney inquiry, Ms. Purser stated that partnering would qualify and that Bay Area is the main homeless provider in town. Mrs. Foster stated that City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 09, 2015 Page 9 of 12 there is a program in Harris County called the Continue of Care which provides homeless services throughout the area that are either funding sources or referrals to the larger shelter into Houston and that immediate services for Baytown would be to our local shelter. 5.
