RECOGNITIONS AND CITIZEN COMMUNICATIONS
a Mr Chet Theiss requested to appear before the council regarding the possible
development of a golf course at Evergreen Park
Mr Theiss presented the agenda item and requested to stop the re purposing of the Evergreen
Golf course into something else He stated that the demand for the golf course has changed since
the city acquired the property and the fact that the city purchased this property takes a large
income producing properties off the tax rolls for tax paying citizens He stated that the course is
already there, but Just needs to be upgraded He further noted that re purposing it lacks wisdom
with the typical design costs, topography drainage irrigation, and engineering costs for today's
golf course being estimated at $100,000 $250,000 per hole Mr Theiss stated that what's being
done to the course has forced golf athletes to other communities that are a fraction of the size of
Baytown. He also recommended that Council entertain the thought of adding a golf feature to the
proposed convention center and noted that the following areas that have convention centers that
have golf courses South Shore Harbors Kingwood the Woodlands, and Newport in Crosby
Additionally Mr Theiss stated that he presented this agenda item in an attempt to start a
discussion regarding the golf course being re -purposed
b Mr Kim Martin requested to appear before the Council to express appreciation to
City Council and staff for their support of the Texas Nonprofit Theaters, Inc 2017 Youth
Conference held at the Lee College Performing Arts Center June 6-11, 2017
Mr Martin presented the agenda item and expressed gratitude to the City of Baytown for making
it possible to host the conference in the city He stated that the organization was partially funded
through a grant fund from the hotel/motel tax and noted that this was the second year that they
were able to utilize this type of fund for their event He stated that it's not the normal practice of
the organization to go to a place more than one year in row, but because of the success of the
conference in the year 2016 that had 400 people from around the state of Texas that participated,
and whereas the city supported the organization and Lee College was the host the organization
requested to come back to Baytown Mr Martin noted that he's the theater instructor at Lee
College and a member of the Board of Directors of the Texas Nonprofit Theaters Inc. and
