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: Minutes Baytown City Council August 25, 1966 4194 Ayes: Councilmen Ball, Massey, Hullum, Braswell. Fanestiel and Donnelly. Mayor Cravey Nays: None 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."

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: Section 4: Add Section 6: Last sentence - on 7: Last sentence - n a Section 9: Change Liability and property damage amounts - TWO Hundred Thousand ($200,000,00) single injury; Three Hundred Thousand ($300,000.00) Dollars personal injury in any one single accident; One Hundred Thousnad ($100,000.00) Dollars property damage for one single accibnt. 4196 Section 12: Last sentence: If services are not provided within twelve (12) months. per annum interest added.

Section 17: Last sentence - Whenever it is necessary to shut -off or interrupt ser- and unless such interruption is unforseen and immediately necessary, it shall aive reasonable notice thereof to its customers. Section 21: First Phrase - The Company shall not sell or transfer its plant or system or privileae to another. Section 25: (a) The Company guarantees that installation of its facilities sha in no way interfere with - reception of commercial television transmission by suh- Section 26: The Company agrees that it will not sell advertising until such time as the FCC approves local origination of proarammina. 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.

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. Mayor Cravey Nays: None 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. Maya Cravey 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. Mayor Cravey Nays: None 4198 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. i Ordinance - Accepting Improvement of Alabama Street Upon recommendation of A.. J. Busch, engineer, Councilman Braswell moved to adopt an ordinance receiving and accepting the work of construction of permanent paving on Alabama Street; directing the issuance of paving assessments. Councilman Donnelly seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilmen Ball, Massey, Hullum, Braswell, Fanestiel and Donnelly.

Mayor Cravey Nays: None 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..
