Center, Ltd, to incorporate a sign plan, to update certain dates and to provide an

N and 1 -10.
City Manager Leiper presented the agenda item and stated that on August 09, 2012, City Council
approved an Economic Development Agreement under Chapter 380 for a large commercial
development at I -10 and Highway 146 in Chambers County, anchored by a new Wal -Mart Super
Center. He stated that Ordinance No. 12,265 authorizes the First Amendment to the Economic
Development Agreement under Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Gov't Code with Chambers
Town Center, Ltd, to incorporate a sign plan, to update certain dates, to provide for the City's
reimbursement for certain utility improvements and to provide an additional economic incentive
for an additional retail project at the northeast corner of Highway 146 North and I -10. City
Manager Leiper stated that the amendment includes the following:
• The sign agreement will provide an overall sign installation plan that will allow certain
individual sign structures to exceed our area limitations. All sign structures will meet our
height requirements. The net effect of a sign master plan for the development, when
compared to signs allowed under our ordinances, results in 38% fewer signs, a reduction
of 2,100 square feet of total sign area and 523 feet of reduced sign heights.
• Since the project did not start as quickly as projected the effective and benchmark dates
are adjusted.
• The Developer has asked the City to be available to make upgrades to our Hunters Creek
Lift Station to accommodate the development. The City may expend up to $150,000 for
these improvements and will be reimbursed from the developer's portion of the sales tax
sharing agreement.
• We have an additional development to secure an eight- screen or larger theater. To
facilitate this additional development the City agrees to increase the total, eligible sales
tax reimbursement from $2,575,000 to $3,575,000 over the term of the agreement, less
the cost of the utility improvements above. The City's portion of the sales tax revenue
will increase from the first $300,000 to the first $325,000 collected each year with the
balance rebated to the developer until cap is reached or the agreement expires in ten
years. The expiration of the agreement was previously in seven years.

Session to discuss some issues. He stated that June 16`h was the deadline for the Governor to sign
or veto any bill. Mr. Woolery stated that the City's goal is to track and get rid of bills being
presented that may have a negative impact on the city. He stated that the three bills (3) that
passed were Senate Bill 656, House Bill 5, House Bill 1642 and the following bills that didn't
pass were HB 889, HB 335, Revenue and Appraisal Caps, HB 1148, HB 351, and SB 14.
Mr. Woolery stated in regards to the state budget, that $98.2 billion was appropriated with $98.7
billion in fiscal year 2014 and $98.7 billion in 2015 being a 3.7% increase over the current
biennium. Additionally, he stated that some of the grant funding was restored and there was a
decrease of $5.6 million to local library aide but there was an increase of $9.6 million to library
resource sharing.
b. Present a report regarding 2013 Recycling Data and Information Regarding
Apartment and Business Recycling.
City Manager Leiper presented the agenda item and stated that the City currently doesn't manage
commercial waste in Baytown. He stated that Mr. Woolery would present statistical data
regarding commercial recycling and an outline of a proposed business and apartment program.
He stated that the program is not a city program, but a city encouraged and facilitated program.
City Manager Leiper stated apartments and businesses will use information provided by the City

Page 6 of 15
stated that the apartments and businesses will still able to seek better rates and choose the
company of their choice to provide recycling services.
Mr. Woolery presented a report following a six -month pilot project between the City and Waste
Management. He stated that residents city -wide began using 96- gallon recycling carts in October
of 2012, and overall, the City's solid waste diversion rate (the percentage of waste we recycle
instead of send to the landfill) increased 57.6% since distributing the 96- gallon carts. Mr.
Woolery stated that another way to further increase diversion rates in Baytown is to implement a
program with apartments and businesses to provide them additional recycling options.
During further discussion, there was inquiry regarding the city having better garbage rates. City
Manager Leiper stated that staff would continue to monitor the rates and that currently the
market for the recycled materials, which is monitored from the green center, is so low that the
city loses money on it.
C. Present report regarding the Baytown Police Department's efforts to combat
criminal activity in our community.
Assistant Chief Holden presented the report and stated that since the year 2000 the City has
annexed approximately 51,011 acres of land which is 7.97 square miles and is a 24.15% increase
in land area. He stated that of the 51,011 acres all but 464 of it were annexed since 2005.
Assistant Chief Holden stated that since 1990, stats that are required to be reported to the FBI
such as robberies, aggravated assaults, burglaries, and thefts have been recorded. He stated that
over that twenty -three year period there has been an overall average increase in robberies,
aggravated assault, and burglaries, but a decrease in thefts and auto thefts. Assistant Chief
Holden stated that staff is constantly working to improve on the reduction of crime by increasing
traffic enforcement, increasing citizens involvement, and increasing communication with the
apartment complex managers. He stated that to reduce crime, the department is using a public
involvement approach by utilizing Channel 16, the Baytown Sun, the community service bureau,
Facebook, utility bills, crime stoppers, neighborhood crime watch, apartment crime watch,
business crime watch, the citizen's police academy, and the CCPD support.
During further discussion, there was an inquiry of there being any improvement in the DA's
office regarding the amount of time in which criminals were staying incarcerated for the crime
committed. Assistant Chief Holden stated that he has seen a change in which the type of crime in
which the DA's office is willing to accept charges on.
