the Greater Port of Houston is a 25 mile stretch of the ship channel from the Galveston Bay to
upstream of the 610 bridge. He stated that along the channel is over 150 facilities that contribute
about 20% of the cargo movement of the Greater Port of Houston, whereas eight (8) of those
facilities are that of the Port of Houston Authority. Mr. Guenther stated that the economic value
that it induces into the state of Texas is approximately $260 billion annually and contributes $1.2
million jobs to this region. He noted that although the downturn of the economy has been slow
with regards to the price of oil which is an impact due to the importing of steel to the turning
basin; the east side of town and downstream is on the rise at a rapid pace. He stated that the
population growth is an impact on the Port of Houston Authority with Texas .having the fastest
growing population which is driving the demand for import cargo such as household goods. Mr.
Guenther noted that the expansion of the Panama Canal is open allowing for bigger ships to
come through the port putting Houston in a significant positively position to accept more cargo.
Mr. Guenther noted that they are the local nonfederal sponsor for the Port of Houston Ship
Channel, which means that they are obligated to making sure that the Houston Ship Channel
remains a safe navigable waterway. He further stated that their revenues are invested back into
their facilities to create more jobs and are currently doing a $10 million study to look at
the needed improvements considering the amount of traffic flow projected for the future.
Additionally, Mr. Guenther extended an invitation to the community to sign up to visit the Port
of Houston as they have public tours that are held twice a day.
Council Member Capetillo inquired if the Port of Houston is forecasting any impact with regards
to the relationship with the USA and Queba. In response to Council Member Capetillo's inquiry,
Mr. Guenther stated that the impact depends on when and if the embargo is lifted, but noted that
the Texas region is in a great position to provide Queba with whatever they need.

Mr. Hall stated that his primary concerns was: 1) that a family that lived in their area was unable
to rebuild their home after a hurricane which had been there since around 1950, because of its
proximity to Cedar Bayou to having an allowance for an RV Development in this same area, and
2) there being no provision to force the rebuilding of a non - existing road. Additionally, he stated
that he recommended that Council follow the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Mr. Buckner stated that this is his third appearance regarding this issue and requested Council's
continued opposition to this effort.
Ms. Morrow stated that she's opposed to the approval of the granting of the special use permit for
the same reasons and concerns as the previous speakers, but noted that she lives directly in front
of the proposed property, where she would be exposed to the noise.
Shannon Logan permitted her time to Tommy Logan.
Mr. Logan stated that he lives at 1400 Kilgore Road which is in a floodway. He stated that after
Hurricane Ike, he received approximately 3 1/2 feet of water in his home. He stated that if
anyone frequents this area at all, the James and Kilgore Road intersection will be completely
submerged. Mr. Logan further stated that in the event an emergency situation arises, the first
responders will have a difficult time providing assistance. Additionally, he stated that he opposes
the granting of this request.
Mr. Lester stated that as many of his concerns were already mentioned, he noted that the
entrance and exits to this proposed park would be through a residential neighborhood which
currently has traffic issues. Additionally, he stated that he requests Councils support to and
follow Planning and Zoning's recommendation to deny this special use permit.
At 7:16 P.M., Mayor DonCarlos closed the public hearing regarding agenda item 3.a.

aerial spraying the City of Baytown, but was able to do so by variance after Hurricane Ike.
Additionally, Mr. Mike Lester, the Director of the Health Department stated that about eight (8)
years ago mosquito control efforts increased significantly and since then has transitioned
primarily into a lavacide program which is more efficient in controlling the mosquitos than
spraying. Mr. Lester stated that aerial spraying can be done, but by a dual engine airplane which
costs about 56 cents an acre per spray. Mr. Lester noted for informational purposes that there is a
decline in mosquito population during its peak season and further noted that ground spraying is
being utilized which is far more efficient in an urban environment than aerial spraying to some
extent. Mr. Lester stated that because the west coast is primarily open areas the only way to get
out there is by airplane or helicopter. Additionally, Mr. Lester stated that staff is being very
proactive in addressing mosquito control and has started an aggressive program with the used tire
dealerships to get used tires in closed areas.
Additionally, Mr. Kerr recommended exploring and getting more details as it relates to aerial
spraying. Mayor DonCarlos requested staff to provide a report with regards to Mr. Kerr's
recommendation of exploring more details on aerial spraying.
