Proposal Study Development for Goose Creek Stream
Mr. Gray introduced discussion of a proposal by Resource Develop-
ment Consultants, Richard T. Colgan, Rex E. Derr and Edward W. Rogers III of
Texas A &M University, for approval of a study that would provide an analysis
of development alternatives for Goose Creek Stream. The Advisory Board has
recommended that if funds are available they be expended in this area. A
team approach will be used with on -site analysis, meeting with interested
parties, a confidential questionnaire will be developed and mailed to a random
representative of Baytown residents as well as property owners adjacent to
the stream, lines of communication will be established with communities which
have undertaken developments similar to the proposed alternatives under Phase
I which will be completed in August, 1971. Phase II - Feasibility and justi-
fication analysis will be prepared with study report utilizing information
to gauge possible future benefits - this will be completed in November, 1971.
A total fee of $3,000 was proposed with $1,500 being due and payable upon
initiation of the contract, and the remaining $1,500 being due upon comple-
tion of Phase II. Following a discussion on the availability of funds and
other relating matters, Councilman Kloesel moved for the Council to authorize
this study to proceed provided that funds are available. Councilman Evans
seconded the motion. The vote follows:

Receive Petition Residents of Hollaway Addition - Drainage Request
With consent of the Council, Mayor Walker introduced and read a
petition, with sixty -two signatures, requesting emegency action from the
Council to drain Hollaway Addition, Section 2. The petition further stated
that the residents had waited for the drainage for several years but they
are now experiencing near home flooding which resulted in this urgent appeal.
Jack Morton, City Engineer, stated that the only outlet available for drain-
age in this area would be to deepen the ditches in the subdivision to carry
the water to Massey- Tompkins, put another culvert under the railroad track
at this point to permit the water to go to the west side where it would be
able to get into a Harris County Flood Control Ditch which lies on the west
side of the railroad track. We would then have to go northward to a point
just north of Chapparell Subdivision to a HCFC ditch which will drain in
Cary Bayou. In order to have any effective drainage of this area, the ditch
will have to be deepened starting tt Cary Bayou all the way back to the rail-
road track, along side the track to Massey- Tompkins Road. We would be able
to larger culvert pipe under the railroad and it would help us to drain the
area if we could request Harris County to extend the new drainage ditch pro-
posed for the area to the railroad property and would give a more direct
outlet. However, he had no knowledge of this being included in their program.
Upon questioning, Mr. Morton stated that it would take about 3 -weeks to com-
plete the City's portion of the drainage. Whereupon, Councilman Kloesel
suggested that the City consider contracting the most seriously needed areas,
but Mr. Morton stated that this would not relieve the situation until the
outfall ditch is completed. Ross Wilhite, Director of Planning, stated that
he and Mr. Morton had reviewed all the HCFC ditches within the city limits
and this ditch has inadequate right of way as the County only has a 25 -foot
easement along the railroad and the best solution would be extending the
ditch proposed off North Main straight east to the railroad this would mean
the purchase of additional right -of -way by the County. Councilman Stasney
asked that the City Manager work with Mr. Morton and Mr. Wilhite, or however
he would like to do it and work with the County and determine what is the most

feasible thing that we can do either alone or in cooperation with the County
and to have this on the agenda at the next meeting. Councilman Hullum then
moved to accept the petition presented by the residents of Hollaway Addition.
Councilman Kloesel seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Kloesel, Evans, Hullum, Stasney and Kelley
Mayor Walker
Nays: None
Councilman Stasney then moved to ask the Administration to work with
the County to determine the most feasible approach to providing drainage for
this area. Councilman Kelley seconded the motion. The vote follows:

Ordinance - Amending Code of Ordinance - Utilities - Water Service
City Attorney Laughlin reviewed a proposed amendment to-the Code of
Ordinances by the amendment of Section 31 -58 to provide that following a total
of two month's water charges being in arrears, the City reserves the right
to include with such water bill a message advising the customer that the due
date on such bill shall also serve as a water service cut -off date and if
not paid by the specified date, the City shall reserve the right to cut off
and discontinue water service until all past due charges have been paid, to-
gether with reconnection charges. Councilman Stasney moved the adoption of
the ordinance as written. Councilman Hullum seconded the motion. The vote
follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum, Stasney and Kelley
Mayor Walker
Nays: Councilman Kloesel
City Attorney Laughlin stated the second item in the ordinance to be
considered is whether or not the Council wanted to revive the penalty for
late payment which had been waived by the Council in June or July, 1970, be-
cause of billing problems arising out of computer difficulties. It would
take a motion of the Council to revive the penalty and do away with the
waiver. Councilman Stasney moved to institute a ten (10 %) percent gross
penalty on delinquent water bills. Councilman Evans seconded the motion.
Councilman Kloesel opposed the ordinance provision as he did not feel that
a penalty should be assessed against drinking water. If the problem related
to business, he would offer no objections but to residents he opposed the
assessment. Following some discussion on hardship cases, the Mayor called
for the vote.
Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum and Stasney
Nays: Councilman Kloesel, Kelley
Mayor Walker
Councilman Kloesel asked for some clarification on the waiver of the
penalty which was not shown in the ordinance in question. Mr. Laughlin
stated that the Administration considered the amendment to the ordinance as
applying only to the cut -off notice, and wanted the Council to consider the
reinstitution of the ten (10 %) penalty separately so no confusion would exist.
If the Council prefers to delete the penalty for sometime, it should be cut
out of the ordinance altogether. However, by the action of the Council in
the previous vote the waiver still stands. It was pointed out that $25,000
was projected in the 1970 -71 budget for income on penalties and this action
would result in a deficit in the budget. Councilman Stasney pointed out
that as a result of Council action, that people who pay their water bills
on time are going to suffer because ultimately the Council will have to
raise water rates to cover these deficiencies and thought the Council was
particularly short sighted to penalize the hard - working, bill paying part
of our citizenship. Councilman Stasney moved to reconsider this item.
Councilman Evans seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum and Stasney

Ordinance - Amending Code or Ordinances Section 31 -69 (b) Sewage Treatment
Expansion Fees
City Attorney Laughlin reviewed the draft of an ordinance amending
the Code or Ordinances relating to Sanitary Sewer Service by revising the
time that payments for sewage treatment capacity expansion fees for sub-
divisions are due. He stated that this ordinance would supersede, in its
entirety, Ordinance No. 1052 and would be identified as Ordinance No.
1052 -A. Mobile Home Parks have been identified for clarification in the
ordinance as well as other matters which were not clear in Ordinance No. 1052.
However, the major change relates to new subdivisions which were required
to pay the $50.00 per unit fee at the time the subdivider's plat is approved
by the Planning Commission and filed for record. This ordinance amends the
requirement and provides that the fees shall be due and payable for each
dwelling at the time a building permit is issued. This will place new sub-
divisions on the same status of existing subdivisions, and the developer
would not be required to deposit sewage treatment expansion fees at the time
the plat is approved by the Planning Commission. Councilman Hullum proposed
also to allow an apartment complex developer to defer payment until the de-
veloper is ready to take service from the City. He could file a bond or
other security device meeting the requirements of Section 27 -20(h) of the
Code, as approved by the City Attorney. However, the City shall not pro-
vide such service until payment of the fee in full. Councilman Kloesel
opposed the $50.00 fee assessment and felt that such funds should come from
bond issues, as this practice would work a hardship upon developers. It
was pointed out that this is not a permanent requirement and will only exist
until the improvements are put in that are provided in the bond issue.
Councilman Stasney moved to amend the ordinance to allow the deferred payment
of the temporary facilities fee for apartment complex construction provided
that sufficient guarantee in form of a bond or other approved security for
necessary payment be provided to the City. Councilman Evans seconded the
motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Hullum, and Stasney
Mayor Walker
Nays: Councilman Kloesel
Minutes, March 25, 1971
DID-
4953
In the discussion of the ordinance as amended, Councilman Stasney favored
the developer paying thirty (30 %) percent of the temporary sewage treatment
expansion fees be paid at the time the plat is approved by the Planning Com-
mission and thirty (30) percent each year thereafter until the total is paid.
Councilman Hullum suggested twenty (20 %) percent each year for a period of five
(5) years. City Attorney Laughlin mentioned the temporary status of the re-
quirement and said the only guarantee is payment of the fee as the subdivision
is developed. He will then pay for exactly what he developes. Following
some further discussion, Councilman Stasney moved in single family dwelling
subdivisions, the $50.00 fee shall be due and payable at a ratio of twenty
(20 %) percent at the time the plat is approved and the remainder paid over
a five (5) year period or, if the subdivision should expand more rapidly the
fee would be payable in a greater percentage. The motion died for lack of a
second. Councilman Evans then moved that the ordinance be adopted as amended
requiring the $50 payment at the time the building is issued. Councilman
Hullum seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Kloesel, Evans and Hullum

Ordinance - Amending to Chapter 14, Garbage and Trash - Cubic Yard Charge
The Council discussed the amendment to the Code of Ordinances by the
amendment of Chapter 14, Garbage and Trash to establish fees at a sum of
$0.25 per cubic yard within the City and the sum of $0.50 per cubic yard
outside the City limits. Councilman Kloesel expressed opposition to the
increase since he stated that the total cost of the recent increases may
be unbearable to the smaller hauler. Following some discussion, Council-
man Evans moved to adopt the ordinance amending the fee charge for disposition
of garbage and trash. Councilman Stasney seconded the motion. The vote

It was the feeling of the Administration that the standard size pickups
would give the City better service insofar as its operations are concerned.
However, should the alternate bid be approved, Mr. Voelkel proposed that the
City bear cost of the tools rather than the garage employees. Councilman
Stasney referred to the economy of operation over the life of the compact
pickup and proposed the purchase of the trucks. Following some discussion,
Councilman Kloesel moved to accept the low bid of Lumus Dodge for the American
made pickups for $10,773.00. Councilman Evans seconded the motion. Council-
man Stasney then moved to amend the original motion to accept the bid of
Fuller Motor Company rather than the bid of Lumus Dodge. This was a substitute
motion and must have the agreement of the original maker. Mayor Walker then
called for the vote on the original motion. The results follow:
Ayes: Councilmen Kloesel, Evans and Hullum
