Shannon Morris - Request Franchise Operate Yellow Too Cab Company - J. C. Martin
Shannon Morris, Local Attorney, representing J. C. Martin, owner and opera-
tor of the Red Top Taxi Cab Company in Baytown presented a formal application for
a permit or franchise to operate a fleet of five taxicabs, under the trade name of
Yellow Top Cab Company, in addition to the Red Top Cab Company. At the time Mr.
Martin was granted permission to operate the Red Top Cab Company, the City Council
allotted him ten (10) certificates of convenience and necessity so that he may
operate ten (10) cabs if the demand required such service, Presently Mr. Martin
is operating only six (6) cabs under the Red Top Cab Company franchise and he pro-
posed to transfer five (5) of the certificates held by him as owner of Red Top Cab
Company to the Yellow Top Cab Company so that the number of certificates would remain
the same as at present. In continuing, Mr. Morris stated that Mr. Martin presently
holds a contract with the Humble Company to transport Humble employees to and from
the Municipal Airport in Houston and also furnishes taxi service to the Humble
Docks. He uses only six (6) cabs to perform all of these services, three (3) of
which are new cars and three (3) older cars: Since he has employee problems and
must regularly rotate cabs, many times the older cabs must make a run to the air-
port and the new cars make runs to the docks. If the Council will approve the fran-

chise request, Mr. Martin will use the older cars to answer calls within the City
of Baytown and the newer cars for transportation of Humble employees to and from
the airport. At the conclusion of the presentation and request, Councilman Hansen
stated that in reading the ordinance it was a matter of necessity for Baytown that
the Council establish Taxi Cab franchises and fromthe evidence presented, he failed
to see that any such facts were presented to necessitate issuing another franchise
to render better service to Baytown but other methods can be used to solve the
existing problem. He moved that the request of J. C. Martin for a franchise in the
name of the Yellow Top Cab Company, be denied. Councilman Ward seconded the motion.
After some further discussion, the council voted as follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Cravey, Ward, Ansley, Hansen, Hughes, Bryan
Mayor Clayton
Nays: None

Cravey moved to grant the developer, Joe Aylor, preliminary approval of the proposed
Ponderosa Subdivision. Councilman Ansley seconded the motion. The vote follows:

Beall Oil Company - Request Adiustment on Permit Fee
i
Mr. James H. Beall, oil operator, presented the Council with certain facts
concerning a recent application he has filed with the City Manager for the drilling
of an all well on the Wright "A" lease and asked for some adjustment on the required
fee, if possible. This well was drilled in 1990 and at that time was located out-
side the city limits. Since that time the well has been abandoned by the original
owner and the city has extended its city limits to include the drilling site in
the city limits. The application was originally presented to the City Manager and
he had ruled that the $1,000 fee must be paid, however, Mr. LeFevre informed him
that he had the right of appeal; thus his appearance and petition. The well will
not be reloca Led but will be deepened, it presently has surface pipe, has been
cemented properly and will not require as much supervision as a new well requires.
Councilman Hughes was of the opinion that the $1,000 fee, as stipulated :in the
ordinance, should be paid as the deepening process will take the drilling into dif-
ferent water sands and would affect the water level if a break should occur in the
casing. Councilman ward stated that all provisions at the City's Subdivision Ordi-
nance had been complied with by the former driller even though the well was not
within the city limits and it was his opinion that the City Council would not be
surrendering any of its controls if the fee was altered, as requested by Mr. Beall.
After some further discussion, Councilman Cravey moved to alter the drilling fee
for the deepening of this particular well to $500,00 since evidence has been submit-
ted showing that the original driller met all requirements of the City's Subdivision
Ordinance in installation of surface pipe, proper cementing and proper plugging for
the protection of the water sands, even though it was frilled outside the city limits.
Councilman Hansen seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Cravey, Ward. Hansen, Ansley, Bryan

tions be made more general and attractive somewhat like the State Highway Department.

Rock Asphalt Company and a study be made of all available materials in order for the
City to prepare specifications which will permit competitive bidding. Councilman

State Highway Department - Speed Limit Recommendation
The City Manager reported that he had received a letter from the State High-
way Department recommending certain speed limits on the State Highway. In checking,
he found that the recommended speeds were identical with those set by the City with
the exception of the one from the East Republic junction to the Spur 201 intersec-
tion. Thisiecommended speed limit was 55 mph; Baytown has set 50 mph. Since this
would require an amendment to the newly adopted traffic ordinance, the Council de-
clined to authorize the change.
Study Traffic - City Police Department
Councilman Ward asked the Council to give some study to conducting a city
traffic survey by using members of the Baytown Police Department. Since it is
definitely known that Baytown needs a Traffic Engineering Survey and fonds are not
TZ:F
1681
available, he suggested that the City Manager, Chief of Police and Assistant Chief
of Police form a committee; divide the city into zones or blocks and assign these
areas to patrolmen for serious study on the moving of traffic safely and speedily
from one section of town to another section. This would entail a look at the
corners, speed zones, stop signs, etc. A plan will be drawn of each area, suggest-
ed changes compiled and other relating data for the safe and effective moving of
traffic. When each area group has completed its survey, these plans will be brou §ht
before the Council for study and adoption if found to be advantageous. This will
be using those who are the most qualified to know the many traffic problems of
Baytown and suggestions could be offered which will be invaluable to its citizens.
Appraisal Church Property - Green Street
i
City Manager LeFevre submitted a copy of a letter received by the City Attor-
ney from Local Realtor, Robert S. Beverly. In the summation of the report, he
stated it was his opinion that the present value of the 75 x 100 foot tract owned
by the church, including land and building is $20,000.00. If the City condemns a
.portion, it is his opinion that the portion to be given up by the church would be
worth $10,000.00. Mrs. Ash, a member of the church, has talked with Councilman
Ansley and asked for time to contact B. B. Williams and find out his price on the
abutting property to the south of the church before condemantion proceedings are
starter. The Council agreed to table further action pending further worth from Mrs.
Ash.
Flood Gates - Installation Approved
City Engineer Busch reported that he and Director of Public Works Grantham
had met with Mr. Caldwell. engineer of the State Highway Department, and reviewed
the proposal for :installation of flood gates in the three (3) flooding areas along
Spur 201. Mr. Caldwell preferred the screw .type flood gates rather than automatic
and it was his opinion that one on Spur 201 and Highway 146 would work nicely as
they have a reservoir area. The other two (2) installation will be a protection
from high tides provided there is no heavy degree of rainfall. Air. Busch Stated
that a total material cost and installation cost for all three flood gates would
be approximately $700.00. Councilman Ward moved to approve the expenditure; the
screw type flood gates be installed with the approval of the City Engineer and
City Manager, subject to final plans on 201. Councilman Hansen seconded the
motion., The vote follows:

similar to the Ford Foundation, which makes funds available for further education

Appointment - Nuclear Defense Committee
Councilman Hansen reported that a number of citizens have approached members
of the Council about plans the community has in the event atomic warfare develops.
The Council is quite concerned about this problem but feels that much more study
is needed to determine what course of action the City of Baytown and the surround-
ing area should take to prepare for such an emergency. Accordingly, it is resolv-
ed that a committee be formed to study this problem. Its function would be to (1)
determine what can be done to effectively protect Baytown in the event of atmic
warfare; (2) develop, in the light of the findings, what facilities should b oe pro-
vided (size and construction specifications), where they might be located, what
the cost might be, and recommended means of finance. .
It is intended that this study be a community -wide effort rather than Just
for the City of Baytown. The Civil Defense Director will serve in an advisory
capacity to this group.
Councilman Hansen moved that a Muclear Defense Committee be formed and the
following named persons appointed to the committee:
Dr. Maurice Blum, 901 Rosewood, Baytown
