The vote follows: Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Stasney and Cannon Mayor Walker Nays: Councilmen Hullum and Kelley Councilman Evans then moved to award the contract to Vornsand Enterprises, Inc., at a bid price of $1,459.00. Councilman Stasney seconded the motion. The vote follows: 4868 Minutes; November 5, 1970 Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Stasney and Cannon Mayor Walker Nays: Councilmen Hullum and Kelley Petition - Country Club Association - Ponderosa - Craigmont - Kountry Klub Village O. B. Lee, representing Country Club, Ponderosa, Craigmont Subdivisions and Kountry Klub Village, appeared before the Council to express the concern of the residents of four subdivisions regarding the development in the area. De- velopment presently exceeds improvement of facilities to take care of the increased load. The residents are vitally concerned about the pollution problems since the Craigmont Sewage Plant is presently overloaded. Also, the streets are rough and narrow, expecially the main artery -Baker Road. The schools will be overloaded and the property values may be lowered if development is permitted without pro- viding for necessary facilities for orderly growth. He offered three long -range suggestions for the Council's consideration, namely: (1) proceed without delay to sell the Capital Improvement Bonds voted a year ago, and (2) Initiate zoning by some local option basis if it can be done legally; and (3) give some consider- ation to the adoption of a density ordinance throughout the city, especially in the are of multi -unit housing with a suggested maximum of 15 -18 units per acre. However, for the benefit of the subdivisions he is representing at this meeting, he offered the following petition: "We the undersigned residents and home owners of Country Club Oaks, Craigmont, Ponderosa and Kountry Klub Village subdivisions, do hereby petition the Mayor and City Councilmen of the City of Baytown, to deny any additional building permits covering construction of any type of multi -unit construction projects on property north of Baker Road, between Craigmont Subdivision and Goose Creek Stream, until totally adequate and permanent sewage facilities aee installed and adequate road improvements installed to take care of the increased traffic load." The petition bore the signatures of seven hundred and fifty -eight adult residents and home owners of the four subdivisions. He stated the petitioners were not trying to halt construction on anything being built, or planned, that would have no adverse affect on the area but were seeking means whereby orderly development can be achieved. Councilman Stasney moved to accept the petition as presented by Mr. Lee. Councilman Evans seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum, Stasney, Cannon and Kelley Mayor Walker Nays: None A. J. Busch, local engineer under contract with the City for the de- velopment of facilities included in the approved bond issues, gave a brief resume of the work which has been done to modify the Craigmont Sewage Disposal Plant to comply with the requirements of the Texas Water Quality Board. However, additional loading to the plant as it presently exists without some type of temporary extra facilities is questionable. He stated that the City had previously agreed to pro- vide additional temporary facilities to take care of the increased load that will occur at the Craigmont plant when the 210 -unit apartment complex north of Baker Road is completed and the 96 -unit complex in Rollingwood on Decker Drive is opened. He has heard of other development proposed for the area and the Council may want to reevaluate its position and decide a course of action, either larger temporary facilities or restriction of permits. The time table now set up for the comple- tion of the West Main Sewage Treatment Plant and the completion of the interceptor sewer line along Goose Creek Stream is April 1972. The Council discussed the package treatment plant and Mr. Busch pointed out that if other development is approved for the area, he must reevaluate his recommendation to the Council as to the size of the package plant. Councilman Stasney stated that when this first came before the Council, he and Councilman Cannon were of the opinion that developers should bear the entire cost of temporary facilities, since the plans for permanent facilities were included in the approved bond issue. Any temporary facility would be in excess of the City's need when permanent facilities are completed. The Council has adopted a resolution for the FHA indicating the City would secure temporary facilities for the project, however, the Council did state that the developer would bear any non - recoverable cost. He concluded with a motion to authorize the retained engineer to go out for bids on a package sewage plant of a size for the two projects approved by the Baytown Planning Commission on a rental basis only. Councilman Cannon seconded the motion. Councilman Kelley suggested that plans be authorized for a portable facility large enough to handle all of the proposed im- provements rather than the two approved projects only. Councilman Hullum proposed a per gallon cost then an ordinance could be prepared which would designate a cost for anyone using the temporary facility until a permanent facility is provided. Councilman Kelley then moved to amend the motion to make the portable unit large enough to take caee of any planned development for the area during the 18 -month interim. Councilman Stasney seconded the motion. Councilman Hullum suggested Minutes. November 5 4869 that all requests for development of subdivision should be brought before the Council as well as the Planning Commission because of the City's present shortage of water and sewer facilities. Councilman Kelley called for the question to end debate. Councilman Evans seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilman Evans, Hullum, Stasney, Cannon and Kelley Mayor Walker Nays: None Mayor Walker then called for the vote on the amendment to the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum, Stasney, Cannon and Kelley Mayor Walker Nays: None City Attorney Laughlin pointed out that some consideration must be given those projects which have been approved with assurances that facilities will be provided. He is not sure that such development can be charged since an unconditional commitment was given. However, Councilman Stasney stated that the developer was required to pay for non - recoverable costs and rental is non- coverable. Mayor Walker then called for the vote on the original motion, as amended. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum, Stasney, Cannon and Kelley Mayor Walker Nays: None H. M. (Dick) Johnston - Complaint Plugged Storm Sewer - Red Bud & Robin Road The Council heard a complaint from H. M. (Dick) Johnston regarding a flooding condition which exists at the corner of Red Bud and Robin Road because of a plugged storm sewer. During the recent rains, the ditches abutting Red Bud 'held water for seventeen (17) hours and caused a severe flooding condition. His attempts to get the city administration to instruct the city crew to un- stop the plugged sewer line have been unsuccessful. He has been told that the condition will not be corrected until the flow line of the outfall ditch has been lowered. Mr. Morton, the Director of Public Works, gave a brief report on the condition which exists at the outfall ditch, with the storm sewer being lower than the ditch elevation thus trapping the water. His men have attempted to unplug the storm sewer which is filled with silt, mud and other debris but a floe cannot be established until the outfall ditch is lowered. Presently there is a contractor working in the area with a dragline. The Administration will attempt to get the outfall ditch lowered by the contractor and city crews will be used to clean out the storm sewer to generate better drainage at this intersection. Carl Connerton - Lack of News Coverage KWBA The Council heard a complaint from Carl Conneraton concerning the lack of news coverage by Radio Station KWBA. His complaints were based on the restrictions placed on him while employed by the station. He asked the Council to investigate the lack of news coverage as an interested citizen. However, the Council declined to make such an investigation as council meetings are open to the public and the news media has representation at all meetings. Approve - Raising Mapleton Street - Passage of Traffic Councilman Evans moved to authorize the Administration to proceed with the raising of Mapleton Street along the Wilder and Barr frontage. Councilman Kelley seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum, Steamy, Cannon and Kelley Mayor Walker Nays: None Consider Teamsters Union Request - Dues Withheld By City - City Employees Members The Council resumed its discussion on the request of the Teamsters Union to have dues withheld by the City for City Employee members. Councilman Stasney stated that he felt that the City of Baytown should not encourage any third party as the State Statute prohibits bargaining with any third party in regards to any city employee. He concluded his statement with a motion that the City Council establish a policy of non - recognition and non -dues check -off for any union with the exception that the present firemen's and policemen's union be continued 4 870 Minutes, November 5, 1970 check -off because of the "grandfather's clause ". Councilman Hullum seconded the motion. He pointed out that Civil Service was approved by the tax payers and, to him, any organization that is approved by the tax payers he would feel compelled to work with them. Those that are not approved in this manner, he felt the city was not obligated to honor the request. When asked, the City Attorney stated that he felt that the City Council should be consistent in its policy making. In his opinion the Council is obligated to adopt a policy which applies to all labor organizations. If the city continues to deduct and withhold the union dues of firemen and policemen, it is obligated to do it for all city employees for all unions. Otherwise the Council is being inconsistent by adopting a different policy. Councilman Kelley stated that he was not in favor of deducting dues for any one labor group, and was not aware that this was being done. Councilman Stasney then asked to re- phrase his motion. He made a motion that the Council adopt a policy of non - recognition and /or dues check -off for any labor union. Councilman Kelley seconded the motion. Councilman Hullum opposed dropping the firemen and policemen from the deduction listing. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilmen Stasney, Cannon and Kelley Mayor Walker Nays: Councilmen Evans and Hullum Petition - Tenth Street Improvement - East James to Ward Road The Council agreed that the paving assessment policy for the im- provement of Tenth Street should be apportioned to the property owners under the old paving policy since the petition was received prior to the formulation of the new policy. However, the street will be constructed of concrete paving, and the Administration will compile construction costs to compare with the - newly adopted street assessment policy for future reference. Resolution - File Application for City Park Site - Secure Federal Grant Councilman Kelley moved to adopt resolution No. 299 which authorizes the Director of Parks & Recreation to file an application with the Department of Housing and Urban Development for a grant of $24,112.50 toward the pur- chase of a 15 -acre tract of land to be used as a parksite. Councilman Hullum seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum, Stasney, Cannon and Kelley Mayor Walker Nays: None The caption of the resolution follows: RESOLUTION NO. 299 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION TO EXECUTE AND -- FILE AN APPLICATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT TO SECURE A GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF TWENTY -FOUR THOUSAND TWELVE AND 50 /100 ($24,112.50) DOLLARS TO ASSIST IN THE ACQUISITION OF PARK LAND, FOR OPEN -SPACE USES; AGREEING THAT ANY SUCH GRANT MADE SHALL BE USED BY THE CITY TO ACQUIRE, DEVELOP, AND RETAIN SAID LAND FOR PERMANENT OPEN -SPACE USES; ASSURING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE SECRETARY OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT THAT THE CITY WILL FULLY COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE RE- GULATIONS; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST THIS RESOLUTION FOR AND ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN. Policy - Acceptance of Eighteen Year Olds - Volunteer Fire Department The City Attorney reviewed a memorandum which had been directed to the City Council relative to acceptance of eighteen year olds in the Volunteer Fire Department. Although the Civil Service Rules provide the minimum age for firemen as twenty -one years, this would not deter the Council from allowing eighteen year olds to enter the Volunteer branch of the Fire Department. There is no reason to believe that the City would have a greater potential lia- bilAty by allowing such practice. He suggested adopting a policy allowing their hiring. * Councilman Kelley excused from meeting. Minutes, November 5, 1970 4871 Data Processing Study - Administration Mr. Voelkel reported that the Administration had conducted a study of the City's data processing of water accounts as per instruction of the Council. Five members of the staff precipitated in the study resulting in these findings: (1) Interviewed three firms who are currently doing business throughout Texas in utility billing - Ad Valorem Records, Inc. of Houston, Data Systems of Texas of Plainview, and University Computing Co. of Houston. (2) After taling with a representative of Computer Equipment Company, they felt that this time, the City was not in a position to ac- complish water billing by computerized equipment, either rented or purchased. (3) The City should continue water billing by data processing. Mr. Voelkel respectfully recommended that authorization be given the Adminis- tration to enter into a one -year contract with Ad Valorem Records, Inc. of Houston. Contract will be based on a charge of twelve (12) cents for each bill or statement produced, with the understanding that at any time the ser- vices of the contract are not satisfactory the contract may be terminated without compensation for the unsatisfactory work. The present contract with Automated Computer Systems expires December 22nd, however, they are in con- currence with the City that the sooner the transition can be made the better for all concerned. Councilman Stasney moved to authorize the Administration to negotiate a contract with Ad Valorem Records, Inc. for the water billing. Councilman HU11M seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum, Stasney and Cannon Mayor Walker Nays: None Reappointment - Members Planning and Zoning Commission Mayor Walker submitted the names of O. L. Clevenger, Mrs. Dan Mundinger and Dr. John Andrews to be reappointed to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Hullum moved to approve the re- appointments as named.

Gidley, banker and Edmund Heckert, engineer as appointees to the Urban Rehabilitation Standards Board. Councilman Stasney moved the appointment of the two to the Urban Rehabilitation Standards Board. Councilman Hullum seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilman Evans, Hullum, Stasney and Cannon Mayor Walker Nays: None Ross Wilhite - Drainage Study Report Ross Wilhite, Director of Planning, appeared to review the work of the Study Committee for drainage during the Capital Improvements Program project prior to voting the Bond Issues. The Committee found that one thing was lacking, a Comprehensive Drainage Plan for the entire area. Such a plan has never been developed and as such the Committee was at a loss to set up projects in the Bond Program because they were unsure of the priority. It was their recommendation at that time tp' have a detailed comprehenvive study done. At that time there were Federal funds available for a no interest loan and Harris County Flood Control had agreed to participate with the City of Baytown in a study of the area from San Jacinto River to Cedar Bayou Stream in the vicinity of the Sheldon Reservoir south to the Bay. It was the understanding at that time that each would share one -half the cost with the idea of getting a loan from the Federal government which would be repaid as we did the various projects with no .interest charge. During this interim period the Federal government has depleted this account and if we want a comprehensive engineering study made, each party will have to bear one half of the cost without federal aid. There are funds in the 1965 Bond Program which can be used for this study and it was his recommendation 4872 Minutes, November 5, 1970 that such a program be authorized by the Council. Councilman Stasney moved to authorize the expenditure of $45,000 from the 1965 Bond fund for a com- prehensive engineering drainage study. Councilman Hullum seconded the mo- tion. The vote follows: Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum, Stasney and Cannon Mayor Walker Nays: None Ordinance - Creating Parking Meter Zone - Area US Post Office on West Defee Councilman Cannon moved to adopt an ordinance amending Section 2 of Ordinance No. 1023 with reference to the two -hour parking limit zone pertaining to Defee Street and Gaillard Street in order to create a three parking space parking meter zone on the north side of Defee Street and a three parking space on the east side of Gaillard Street.

This will be considered at the next regular meeting of the Council.
