C. Consider Amendments to the Noise Ordinance - Legal.
City Manager Lciper presented the agenda item and stated that staff
recommended two changes to the ordinance that was posted online: (1) changing
a typographical error regarding the initial decibel level for residential night time
from 50 to 58, and (2) regarding section 34 -66(1) adding the verbiage: "or any
sound created by an act necessary to prevent the loss of life or property ".
City Manager Leiper stated that a frequency chart was added to the noise
ordinance; however, there are some concerns voiced from residents and industry
that he felt were valid and worth consideration. City Manager Leiper
recommended that Council table this item to the next City Council meeting in
order to allow him time to meet with some the industrial partners, in order to
discuss the impact of this ordinance. He further stated that by tabling the item for
another meeting will help alleviate potential confusion over passing and changing
an ordinance within a two week period.
Joe Blommaert, Brad Molton, Chris Buckner, Bob Bruce, and Alan Hudgins all
registered to speak before Council regarding agenda item 3.c.
Mr. Joe Blommaert, ExxonMobil Plant Site Manager, stated that the proposed
ordinance may pose a concern of unknown consequences, as well as, some
inconsistencies regarding the current practices and technologies used to measure
noise. He stated particular concerns regarding the sounds of noise and
measurements. Mr. Blommaert also stated that they were willing to provide some
resources, including technical expertise to assist Council with developing usable
and comprehensive noise ordinance.
Mr. Brad Molton, ExxonMobil Global Noise and Vibration Expert, stated that the
proposed noise ordinance does not address the fact that ExxonMobil is licensed
and permitted by the state and federal government for various activities, so as a
result and as it is written, potentially conflicts with their existing operations. He
requested clarification of the definitions of peek, impulse, and ambient and stated
that these have scientific meanings that would help clarify the ordinance. He
stated that the table in Paragraph D - Section 362 uses outdated octave ban
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
October 25, 2012
Page 6 of 18
frequency specifications and stated that the currently available sound ban
instrumentation devices could not filter to the bans which are required in the
ordinance. He stated that clarity could be improved by including language from
the current American National Standards Institute and Acoustical Society
of America in the measurement of outdoor noise. Mr. Molton stated
while exceptions are included such as from road noise, there was no guidance on
how to distinguish the difference between the road noise and the other exempted
activities from the nuisance noise.
Mr. Chris Buckner, a representative of Friends of Cedar Bayou, stated that he
agreed with City Manager Leiper on getting this ordinance done right, but was
concerned that there was no mention in the proposed ordinance of vehicular boom
boxes.
Mr. Bob Bruce stated that he is a registered Engineer in the state of Texas and is
board certified by the Institute of Noise Control Engineering. He stated
that IPSCO asked him to review the article in which he has some serious
questions that need to be resolved. He stated that the proper definition of ambient
and peek need to be discussed. He stated that to measure the peek and the octave
ban would require sophisticated equipment and sophisticated training and
recommended postponing the adoption for a month to have a meeting with the
industries and the experts to discuss the goals of the proposed ordinance.
Mr. Alan Hudgins inquired if the noise ordinance applied to the barge terminal or
if they were exempted and had to go through the mediation process. He also
stated that in in his opinion item 10 under exceptions, was in direct violation
of the federal highway safety administration noise abatement criteria, and
inquired as to where the state muffler law was covered under the noise ordinance.
A motion was made by Council Member Robert C. Hoskins and seconded by
Council Member Mercedes Renteria III to suspend this item until the 2nd meeting
in November. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Stephen DonCarlos, Council Member Brandon
Capetillo, Council Member Robert C. Hoskins, Council

statistics and crime prevention efforts. He presented the following statistics:
• robberies were at 59 last year and this year was 56;
• burglaries were at 688 last year and this year was 498;
• thefts decreased from 2,040 from last year to 1,873 this year;
• total criminal offences increased from 2,869 to 2,930, and
• they cleared 793 compared to 624. Chief Dougherty stated that this year
there were 35,976 calls for service answered compared to last year's
35,029 and noted that the calls for services were not just criminal offences.
Chief Dougherty stated that preventive efforts regarding crime control are being
taken such as more patrol units being assigned to areas were there is high crime,
educational efforts to the community that included public notices, they've
provided programs through different public service groups such as citizens on
patrol who have been checking homes on a daily basis of those who are not at
home as well as writing handicap violations tickets, people safeguarding their
devices, and council passing ordinances regarding scrap yards which makes
it difficult for the violators to continue their crimes in Baytown.
Additionally, Chief Dougherty stated that from August 15, 2011- August 15, 2012,
there were 1,516 calls for service at Northwood, so the HOTSPOT team targeted
this location and within a couple of weeks made 37 arrests and instituted a badge
of excellence program, which includes working with the apartment complex
managers regarding tenant concerns and safety.
Mayor DonCarlos stated that, in his opinion, if a particular complex generates a
certain number of police calls, then they should be required to have 24 hour on
site security, and inquired if it were possible to implement. City Manager Leiper
stated that the city could use the criminal nuisance abatement program, but have
not received a definitive answer for having 24 hour security.
Alan Hudgins registered to speak before Council regarding agenda item 7.a. and
stated that Ferry Road is a street of daily traffic crime. He inquired
when recommendations regarding this road would be implemented.

b. Discuss Development at 700 W. Texas Avenue - Administration.
City Manager Leiper presented the agenda item and stated that Mr. Chris Presley
would discuss options for the final development at 700 W. Texas Avenue,
Baytown, Texas.
Mr. Presley stated that his proposed building would be approximately 1,650
square feet and geared toward small businesses. He stated that the building could
accommodate one sizeable business or two small businesses. He stated that
building would be on the street front lot line with parking behind it, and include a
corner closet to promote outdoor activity and falter pedestrian traffic. He also
stated that, in order for this project to happen, it would take a large financial
commitment from the building owner and a modest contribution from the City.
He stated that the building owner would design, construct, and finance the
improvements and that the City would need to provide assistance similar to the
facade program, and provide water and sewer to the front lot line. He further
stated that the vacant lot would need to be released to him, and platted for
financing to occur.
Council Member Capetillo inquired who owned the entire 700 block. Mr. Presley
stated that the City owns the block and he leases the block from the City. Mr.
Presley stated that the City would have to release the vacant portion so that he
could obtain private financing.
City Manager Leiper stated that the City purchased the block for approximately
$400,000 and is now selling it back to Mr. Presley. He further stated that Mr.
Presley is currently making payments on said loan and is leasing the block the
agreement with the City.
City Manager Leiper voiced concerns over deeding over a portion of the land to
Mr. Presley when the terms of the sale agreement have not been met. He further
stated that should Mr. Presley default on his loan, the City would be at a loss, as
the property in question would have already been deeded over to Mr. Presley.
Council voiced some concerns regarding the use of the facade program for this
project as it did not meet the program's intent.
After a brief discussion, City Manager Leiper recommended having a meeting
with the Economic Development Foundation (EDF), Planning Director Kelly
Carpenter, and Mr. Presley to discuss more options. City Council concurred with
the recommendation.
