Proposal Mr. Frank Dorr - Corrosion Problem Mr. Dorr stated that on Wedenesday, December 9 he met with the Ad- ministration to discuss problems relating to corrosion attributed to well water within the City, and discussed use of firm's services. During this Minutes, December 17, 1970 4895 meeting pipe sections that had failed were inspected and the majority of these were electrolysis problems. Two well areas inspected as to conduc- tivity and resistivity and the report was positive. Three type tests were exercised to analyze the water. These tests being: bacterial, quality, and mineral composition. No bacteria was discovered and the quality of the water was within the limits established by the Texas Water Control Board. However, these tests were made only in the area in which a complaint was received. The firm requested to conduct a City wide test of all wells in order to make recommendations as to a course of improvement. Also, because of the customer's need to better understand the City's water situation, Mr. Dorr suggested the formation of a "Water Problem Clinic" which could consist of brochures and other printed aides which would be mailed to the customers. In Mr. Dorr's estimation one or two weeks would be required in Baytown to obtain sufficient data, and two weeks would be required to evaluate the data and prepare a certified report of the findings.

Traffic Committee Report Councilman Cannon reported on a proposed change in the Truck Route Ordinance concerning the weight. The original ordinance has no weight listed; therefore, the committee is recommending a weight not to exceed one ton.

Salary Committee Report Councilman Stasney pointed out that supervisory employees were given increases in salary when the new budget was adopted, non - clerical employees were given a $30 across -the board increase pending further study, and clerical employees salaries were held for classification study. To cover raises retroactive to October 1, 1970 funds were placed in the Council Contingency equal to 68 of non- supervisory salaries, wages, and benefits less the sum of the $30 raises. Committee report is recom- mendations concerning salaries of City employees. The committee proposes the granting of a noninal 66 increase for all employees (non - clerical) with the following exceptions: 1. In the case where the $30 increase raised the employees salary more than 66, the salary should remain the same. 2. Where employees salaries were adjusted during the study to coincide with other municipalities. 3. Recommendation that the Police Department receive 7% increase due to increased efficiency during the past year. The extra 1% being a reward for increased productivity. The committee discovered gross inequities in clerical salaries with some employees being under paid and some over paid. Implementation of this salary schedule will begin the process of equalizing clerical salaries. The job classifications are as follows: Account Clerk Sr. Account Clerk Chief Accountant Cashier Receptionist Clerk Clerk Typist I Clerk Typist II Secretary Senior Clerk Typist Legal Secretary Dispatcher Clerk Junior Librarian Library Page The committee recommended that the 66 increase be applied to all clerical salaries except: 1. Where the 66 increase would raise the salary past the top limit of the bracket, that the salary be limited to the maximum. 2. Where salaries presently exceed the maximum, those salaries be held static. 3. Shift differential (for straight shift) $25 evening shift and $50 graveyard shift. Howard Northcutt, Administrative Assistant, discribed the procedure followed to compile data for clerical classifications: 9897 4898 Minutes, December 17, 1970 First, a form was sent to all clerical employees to be filled out and returned stating job description and other pertient information. Five cities were contacted and no city has same job title for the same type work. The salaries of other cities were averaged out to establish average base salary. No clerical help has been interviewed; however, the depart- ment heads were interviewed and were asked which position the clerical employee in that office was qualified to fill. After Mr. Northcutt's report, the Council discussed several facets of the Salary Committee's recommendations. Councilman Kloesel motioned that a $45 a month raise be approved for each employee; however, this motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Carl Connerton requested that a public meeting be held to discuss employees salaries. Councilman Kloesel moved to hold a public meeting. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilman Stasney requested that the Council act on the recommendations and moved that the Council accept the report, but this motion died for lack of a second. Afterwhich time, Councilman Evans moved to accept the report except for clerical salaries in order to study them once more. Councilman Cannon seconded the motion; however, when he made the motion he was of the opinion that the clerical employees would also receive a 6% increase, therefore, he withdrew his second. However, this was after the vote on the first motion which follows: Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Stasney, and Cannon Mayor Walker Nays: Councilman Kloesel Because Councilman Cannon was misinformed at the time he voted, he moved to reconsider the question and Councilman Kloesel seconded the motion.

Rer#s.- Recommendations from Consulting - Engineers First, Mr. Busch discussed elevating perimeter streets in Brownwood The consulting engineers recommended a minimum roadway elevation of 8'0" to provide maximum protection for the money. Therefore, estimates for both seven foot and eight foot roadway elevations were presented. If this project is worked concurrently with the Bayway Drive paving project, then the exca- vation from Bayway Drive could be utilized as fill for this Brownwood peri- meter roadway, resulting in a considerable savings. The total cost to elevate street 710" with pump stations was $333,000.00. Mr. Busch was aked why this cost was higher then originally estimated. He listed several items that had not been included in the original estimate. Next Mr. Busch presented a report mainly in exhibit form for paving Bayway Drive from Decker Drive to Crow Road. Bayway is a major access to a large residential area, also it serves as a truck route serving industry and commerce located in the southwestern portion of the City. The traffic volume as shown in the exhibits is quite heavy. The engineers recommended a design of two 24 foot wide roadways separated by a 30 foot wide median, with median openings at appropriate locations. Total estimated cost was $1,050,000.00 Dollars. Mr. Busch recommended selling as- sessments against property (paving liens) to a bank in order to encourage more contractors to bid.
