M. P. Fuller - Petition Extending Nazro to Sunset Drive
M. P. Fuller submitted petitions bearing the signatures of residents in Wynnewood
and Lawndale Additions requesting the City Council and Missouri Pacific Railroad
Company to consider the opening of a city street to connect the existing streets of
Nazro and Sunset, should Parkway Drive be closed. In their opinion, the connection
of these two streets will provide a better exit to schools, churches and the busi-
ness district as well as providing the area with better fire and police protection.
If the opening of this streeet is not possible, they requested that Parkway Drive
remain open. Mr. Ferd Geyer, residing on East Nazro, urged the Council to leave
Parkway Drive open rather than opening a connecting street from Sunset Drive to East
Nazro; residents along this street do not want the extension. As an alternate, however,,,;
he suggested the opening of a street from Sunset into Miriam Street which would carry
a better flow of traffic in a northwesterly direction. City Manager Lanham pointed }
out that Briarwood which presently deadends at Sunset Drive is hhown on the long -range
comprehensive plan as a collector street. This would extend to connect with South Main
north of High Street, the Miriam Street extension would afford direct connection of
the east and west sections on a collector street. After some discussion, Councilman
Massey moved to instruct the Administration to have estimates prepared on the cost
of extending Briarwood to South Main and Miriam Street to connect with Sunset so that
a comparison may be made of the three proposed extensions, East Nazro to Sunset.
Miriam to Sunset Drive and Briarwood to South Main Street. Councilman Donnelly seconded
the motion. The vote follows:

Consider Ordinance - Reauirina Fencina of Swimmina Pools.- Hearina Held
Major Cravey opened the hearing upon the proposed ordinance requiring all swimming
pools within the City of Baytown to be fenced and equipped with self - latching gates.
This hearing was called at the August 11th meeting. Some letters were introduced which
pointed out that some privately owned pools were near bays which would not be feasible
to fence. Also. the Council heard Mr. Bryan Stratton who pointed out the danger of
bays and other bodies of water abutting upon property which has a swimming pool construct-
ed. Councilman Fanestiel expressed some concern over the proposed draft; he felt it
may be too restrictive and suggested the use of nets or covers which will maintain the
pool in a safe condition and prevent toddlers from falling in should they be left
unattended in the.near vicinity of swimming pools. He approved the safety angle but
opposed being too restrictive. Councilman.Massey and Braswell expressed some concern
over the possibility of an invasion of personal rights of a homeowner and his property.
Councilman Ball moved to adopt the ordinance with an amendment to Section 1 providing
where adequate natural barriws such as bays, seawalls, bulkheads, etc. exist in the judge-
ment of the City INspector, he may waive the regulation to enclose a swimming pool
by a wall, fence or other substantial structure, said amendment to follow the wording,
"other solid structure no less than forty -four (44) inches high." Also, existing pools
shall be fenced in accordance with the requirement s on or before the 1st day of Decem-
ber. 1966. Councilman Hullum seconded the motion. The vote follows:

Consider - Plans for Sianalization of Park Street & Garth Road Intersection
At the August llth.meeting, the Council approved the expenditure of budgeted
funds to install traffic signalization at the intersection of Garth Road and Park
Street; also, possibly Park Street and Bayway intersection. The estimated cost on
each installation was $2,800. However, a study has been made of the Garth 6 Park
intersection since the last meeting and it is now recommended that a more elaborate
signalization be installed to handle the left turn movement off Garth Road. The type
now recommended is the same as the signalization now operating at the intersection
of Park and Decker Drive. The cost extimation if $4,745.00 for the revised installa-
tion, thus depleting the 1965 -66 budgeted funds. Councilman Donnelly moved to
approve the installation of the three phase controller traffic signalization at the
intersection of Garth and Park as recommended by the Engineers and Traffic Committee.
Councilman Braswell seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Ball, Massey, Hullum, Braswell, Fanestiel and Donnelly.
Mayor Cravey
Nays: None
Councilman Fanestiel, a member of the Traffic Committee, reported that V. V.
Ramsey had been contacted relative to participating in the cost of a traffic signaliza-
tion system at the intersection of Park & Bayway Drive. He had asked to have an
opportunity to m eet with the City Administration and review the plans before making
a definite decision on the request. The County had installed a signal light at
this intersection several months prior but received a storm of protests because of
the congested traffic prodem during peak periods of the day. The light was then
changed to a flashing amber light. Councilman Fanestiel reported that a proposal.
had been received to widen Bayway at this intersection and install signalization
which will permit a green go signal to the right during peak periods of traffic.
Consider CATV Franchise
Councilman Donnelly, Chairman of the CATV Franchise Committee, reviewed the
proposed changes in the CATV Franchise Ordinance. They are listed as follows:

Change name from Baytown Community Television Company to Baytown Community Tele-
vision Inc.
Councilman Fanestiel asked if the company would be in a position to receive and
rebroadcast proposed educational programs which are to be financed by the Ford Founda-
tion should it come into being and the reply was in the affirmative. Councilman
Braswell moved to adopt the Franchise ordinance of the Baytown Community Television.
Inc., including the amendments as recommended by the Committee. Councilman Fanestiel
seconded the motion. Councilman Massey moved to amend the motion now on the floor -
to take it in two steps. First, to deny awarding a CATV contract; second, consider
this specific franchise and this specific company. Councilman Ball stated that he
had considered the question of community television, without getting into a specific
company, and as a result has grave reservations at this time about community television
specifically Baytown. He discussed Sections 4, 12, with capital investment of 20%
being made by the Company and the customers being required to make 80% of the investment
pigs the cost of installation andmonthly fees. He also discussed copyrights, the
educational feature and other relating factors and urged the Council to vote against
the original motion made by Councilman Braswell in order that both questions proposed
on motion by Councilman Massey. Councilman Massey then withdrew his amended motion.
Before the vote was called on the original motion. Councilman Ball again discussed
Sections 4, 12, 10. 14. and 19. For clarification. the Council suggested an amendment
to provide that additional sets per resident over one (1) will be $1.00 per set per
month. He concluded his statements by urging the Council to oppose the passage of
a franchise ordinance at this time. Councilman Massey also favored the denial. Mayor
Cravey then called for the vote and it follows.:

Recommendation - Buildina Code Study Committee.- Relative to Sidewalks i. New Subdivisions
W. A. McElhannon. Secretary for the Building Code. Study Committee, submitted a
written report on fie subject of sidewalk construction as required by the City's
Subdivision Ordinance. This subject was discussed at length at a recent meeting
and it was the unanimous opinion of all members present.that.the requirement of.
installing sidewalks in new subdivision was not necessary because: .
(1) It serves.no useful purpose - Americans are no longer a walking generation
(2) It is an added and unnecessary expense which the home owner must untimately
add to an already heavy financial burden and .each dollar added to the
cost of a home becomes three or four dollars before the mortgage is paid
(3) It requires continuous expense or labor or both to maintain . 7
(4) It does not add beauty or landscape appeal to a well -kept lawn
(5) There is no goaitime to install the sidewalk without waste or gaps
which may never be filled in.
(6) The safety aspect is somewhat questionable because drivers of automobiles
are less prone to be careful when backing over a sidewalk than when
backing into a street. ,
If. however, the present ordinance remains effective and sidewalks are in fact re-
quired in all future subdivisions. the Committee recommends that the walks be installed
after the house is basically complete but before the final city inspection. After
some discussion. Councilman Donnelly moved to take the Committee's report under con-
sideration and give it due weight when reviewing the City's Subidivision Ordinance.,
Councilman Hullum seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Ball, Massey, Hullum, Braswell. Fanestiel and Donnelly.

Report - Parks and Recreation Board
City Manager Lanham submitted two recommendations which are being presented by
the Parks and Recreation Board for the Council's consideration. First. Leroy Walker,
developer of Ridgewood Subdivision, has offered to give a two acre tract of land to
the City for park purposes. The property is located between Riverbend Drive and the '�
stream to the north and the Committee recommends the City accept, the, gift and spend
the $1.500.00 that,was previously authorized for the purchase of playground equipment
to be placed on Loop 201 right -of -way near Glen Arbor, as this would be a permanent
parksite,and the 201 right -of -way, a temporary location. It is the thought of the
Committee that the acreage offered by Mr. Walker would serve the neighborhood at little
cost to the City. Councilman Ball moved to accept the offer of Mr. Walker in donating
the two acres as a parksite to the City of Baytown. the playground equipped purchased
for the 201 right -of -way playground be permanently located on this 2 -acre site and
the Mayor be instructed to write a letter to Mr. Walker expressing the Council's
appreciation of his donation. Councilman Braswell seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Ball, Massey, Hullum, Brasvell. Fanestiel and Donnelly.

Nays: None
The second item submitted by the Committee related to the Community building fur-
nishings. The total estimated cost for furnishing the building was $30.300.00. Mr.
Lanham pointed out that this item did not heed action by the Council at this time but
the Committee had completed the report in time for cost figures to be considered in
connection with the budget review study which will be conducted withinthe,next week
or ten days. It is possible that bond funds will be depleted before the furnishings
are purchased for the Community Building and the City Hall,and the proposed 1966 -67
budget includes budgeted funds to supplement the bond funds.. Mr. Lanham also pointed
out that better bids may be received if furnishing s for the Communi,ty Center Building
and the City Hall are received at the some time. Specifications should be prepared
and bids sought about four (4) months before the buildings are completed. Councilman
Massey moved to accept the report for consideration at the opportune time for making
the specifications up for bids. Councilman Braswell seconded the motion. The vote
follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Ball, Hullum, Massey, Braswell. Fanestiel and Donnelly.

Consider Resurfacing of Airhart Drive
City Manager Lanham reported that approximately $70.000.00 remains unencumbered
in the 1965 -66 •street improvement budget. The money was being held for improvement
in the Central Business District but no recommendation will be forthcoming this year
from the study group. The Administration has looked at other thoroughfares and has
prepared an estimate for the resurfacing of Airhart Drive from Market Street to
Spur 330. The estimate included resurfacing with one and one -half inches of asphaltic
concrete the width of the present street, $26,384.00 or widening the street two and
one -half feet on each side and overlaying the entire roadway, $46,384.00. After some
study it was thought that the cost of widening the street would not be feasible because
of the open ditches on either side which would constitute a traffic hazard should the
extension be made without closing the ditches. Councilman Hullum suggested that the
City Manager approach Humble Company officials with the same proposal made United
Carbon when North Street was improved in 1965 since Airhart Drive serves Humble Company
in essentially the same manner as North Street serves United CarboL After some further
discussion, Councilman Donnelly moved to approve the resurfacing of Airhart Drive, from
Market Street to Spur 330 with one and one -half inches of asphaltic concrete; to negotiate
with Humble Oil & Refining Company personnel to share in the cost for such improvements
on the same basis as used to negotiate with United Carbon for the improvement of North
Street. Councilmen Hullum seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Ball, Massey, Hullum, Fanestiel aid Donnelly.
Mayor Cravey
Nays: Councilman Braswell
The City Manager was instructed to contact Houston Lighting and Power Company
personnel and solicit their cooperation in the removal of Culverts from the ditches
on the east side of Airhart Drive to improve the drainage.
The City Manager was instructed to prepare estimates on the cost of improving
Commerce Street; estimates to include right -of -way and construction costs for making
smooth entrances into Commerce from North and South Main.
The City Engineer and City Manager was requested to prepare a recommendation
for spending the remainder of funds in the current street improvement maintenance
budget, based on the greatest need.

Withdraw Request Hearing - Corps of Engineers - Missouri Pacific
Councilman Hullum asked if anything had been resolved upon the City's request
for a Hearing before the Carps of Engineers which was filed following the August 11th
meeting. City Manager Lanham reported that he had talked with a Colonel of the Corps
of Engineers and wqs told there would not necessarily be a hearing, these are seldom
held. The Corps of Engineers receives the requests for crossings,, receives protests
and after study make recommendation to the Secretary of the Army ;and lon this basis
the permit is issued or rejected. In the case of this crossing, four (4) protests
have been filed. Councilman Hullum suggested that, under the circumstances, the City
should withdraw its protest and work with the railroad company.at this time since
the original protest was filed in order to give the.City Officials an opportunity to
be heard at the hearing. Councilman Massey agreed with the proposal;. he felt the
Council had served its purpose. Councilman Ball agreed the Council should withdraw
its protest or make plans to pursue it further. Councilman Braswell expressed some
reluctance to withdraw the protest - MPRR should be required to raise its bridge cross-
ing at Cedar Bayou and should the hearing be held, the Corps of Engineers would have
an opportunity to declare who would have to bear the cost of raising the bridge..
