Capital Improvement Program - Cash Basis
Councilman Hansen submitted a proposal for a revision or modification of the
plans that were adopted by the City Council and led to the bond election. He sug-
gested that the City Manager request the Baytown Adirisory Board to once again look
at the thoroughfare plan and make revisions consistent with view of the voters with
more emphasis on improvement of existing thoroughfares rather than creating new ones
1719
secondly, revise drainage projects in order to proceed with improvements on some-
what less rapid basis than proposed in bond issue; third, request Park Committee to
make another study of the park project and determine where the monies can be best
spent, in acquisition of land or equipment for existing parks; fourth, the possibil-
ity of hiring an architect and engineer to sudy the City Hall and submit proposals
for possible renovations and /or additions; and, fifth, pursue the study on effecien-
cy of City operations by professional help or citizens group or Economics Committee.
Several suggestions were presented as possible solutions and after some further
discussion, Councilman Hansen moved to instruct the City Manager to make a thorough
study of possible revisions of items included in the bond program and present his
interpretation of a workable plan for Council perusal. Councilman Ansley seconded
the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Cravey, Hansen, Ansley, Hughes, Bryan

Nays: None
Street Lighting Request
City Manager LeFevre reported that he had received a request from the develop-
ers of Ridgeway Subdivision for installation of street lights under the policy
adopted by the City Council in 1958. This policy provided for the City to bear the
cost of installing wooden utility poles in subdivisions at an annual cost of $18.00'
for each light. Should the developer or civic committee of any subdivision desire
the installation of ornamental metal poles, they assume the difference in cost on
each light, from $18 to $30, for a period of five (5) years. The City will then
bear the entire cost of the $30 light after the five (5) year period. The Council
deferred action on the request until a new policy can be presented and adopted by
the present Council.
Request - Additional Patrolman
The Council took no definite action on the request of City Manager LeFevre
to hire a replacement in the patrolmen division of the Police Department.
Adiouroment
Councilman Ansley moved that the meeting adjourn. Councilman Cravey seconded
the motion. The ayes were unanimous and the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned.
