Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority- Pollution Control District in western Chambers County Mr. Mike Eastland, Assistant General Manager of the Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority, explained the Authority was created in 1969 by the state legislature for the specific purpose of abatting water and solid waste pollution in Chambers, Harris, and Galveston Counties. In 1971, the legislature gave the Authority permission to create "pollution control districts ", whereby sewage treatment facilities may be paid for .with tax supported bonds. Mr. Eastland explained that Beach City has requested the Authority to create such a district in Chambers County; however, because part of the proposed district is within Baytown's extraterritorial jurisdiction, Council approval is required. Although approval is not required of Chambers County officials, they have encouraged the creation of the district. An extensive area will be covered for tax purposes, however, service will be provided only for the more heavily populated areas such as Beach City, and the area to the northeast and west. Following discussion of the procedure for establishing a pollution control district, Mayor Walker suggested a meeting be arranged for Council with representatives of the Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority, Beach City, and Chambers County to discuss the proposed district in greater detail.

Consolidate. Sanitary Sewer Projects. I n order to receive more competitive bids on sanitary sewer projects, Mr. Lanham recommended the following projects be combined as one contract; and financed from Bond funds: a) sanitary sewer from James Bowie Drive to Beaumont Street along Highway 146 and Knowlton Road - cost $42,054 -- b) sanitary sewer extension, Cedar Bayou Road from McKinney Road to Kilgore Road, cost $28,000 (James Bowie Drive)' c )extend sewer service to Baytown Junior School, Humble Credit Union, Mutual Benefit Association, and U. S. Post Office on Market Street, cost $29,900 less $5,507.89 charged to property owners. Mr. Lanham explained that Humble has previously provided sewer service to the locations in the latter item; however, because of changes in water quality regulations in treatment of sewage, Humble Co. will discontinue this service. Humble has advised that all tap fees will be paid in accordance with the city ordinance. Mr. Morton, 16Z December 14, 1972 5342 City Engineer, explained the high cost of providing service to the locations on Market Street is because a lift station and additional lines will have to be constructed to handle the increase. Councilman Gentry moved to accept the recommendation to consolidate these projects; Councilman Cannon seconded the motion. Mr. Lanham will present plans and specifications to Council before advertising for bids. Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Gentry, Pool, Walker and Cannon Mayor Walker Nays: None Storm Sewer - North Main Street At the meeting of June 20, Council discussed the need for a storm sewer along the west side of North Main, south of Rollingbrook Drive, and for the construction of drainage structures from that point south to the Harris County Flood Control easement. At that time, Council approved the City constructing a portion of this at the end of six months if the Flood Control was unable to acquire right -of -way for the purpose within the six months. The property owners in this area are now requesting the storm sewers be installed. The Flood Control District has received bids and awarded contract for the construction of a box culvert across North Main and construction of a storm sewer down to the Flood Control easement. This leaves approximately 830' for the city to construct at an estimated cost of $55,650. Following discussion with Mr. Jack Morton, Councilman Gentry moved to authorize bidding for this project; Councilman Lander seconded the motion: Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Gentry, Pool, Cannon Mayor Walker Nays: Councilman Walker Award Bid - Radio Equipment Mr. Cooke, Purchasing Agent, compared the bid of Motorola (opened earlier this meeting) to bids received for radio equipment earlier this year. He concluded that the markups are not excessive, and in some cases, the price is less than previous bids, or the same. Councilman Gentry moved to accept the bid of Motorola; Councilman Pool seconded the motion: Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Gentry, Pool, Cannon and Walker Mayor Walker Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 1308 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, ACCEPTING THE BID OF MOTOROLA FOR THE PURCHASE OF MISCELLANEOUS RADIO EQUIPMENT, AND AUTHORIZING PAYMENT OF NINE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE AND 50 /100 ($9,585.50) DOLLARS WITH REGARD TO SUCH ACCEPTANCE. Consider Use of Police Reserve to Operate Back -up Ambulance When a contract was negotiated in 1968 between the City and Jess Navarre, the contract stipulated Baytown Ambulance would provide two ambulances. At that time, the Police Department purchased a station wagon to serve as back -up ambulance; when not in service as an ambulance, the wagon was used a a patrol vehicle. In recent years, however, the wagon has remained at the police station and is used only as an ambulance because it registers approximately 80,000 miles. Because the station wagon assigned to the Police Reserves is in much better condition, and because Council requested the reserves be utilized in a profitable manner, Mr. Lanham recommended the Police Reserves be allowed to operate the back -up ambulance. The reserves would be given appropriate training. Following general discussion, Councilman Cannon moved to accept the recommendation. Councilman Gentry seconded the motion: Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Gentry, Pool, Cannon and Walker Mayor Walker Nays: None Comprehensive Liability Insurance for the City In a recent work session with Mr. Beverly and the insurance committee, it was pointed out that funds are not available in this year's budget to purchase workman's compensation; this may be considered during preparation of next year's budget. However, funds were placed in the budget for comprehensive general liability, and Mr. Lanham recommended authorization be given to work with Mr. Beverly and the committee to secure the $50 deductible property liability damage, at a net cost of $24,083.00. Mr. Lanham explained thatmost claims are of a smaller nature, and the difference in premiums of the two policies could not justify securing the $1,000 deductible. -a 5343 December 14, 1972 Mr. Richardson stated that this coverage is necessary in order for the City to be covered under the Tort Claim Act. Because the City is now liable for not only proprietary functions but governmental functions, death & personal injury, and negligent use of tangible property, this coverage is prudent. Councilman Lander moved to accept the Administration's recommendation to secure the $50 deductible coverage; Councilman Pool seconded the motion: Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Gentry, Pool, Cannon and Walker Mayor Walker Nays: None 'Cannon leaves meeting Revenue Sharing Funds - Library Service When Council appropriated funds for Revenue Sharing, four priority areas were indicated: (1) streets (2) infiltration abatement (3) fire service (4) library service to the elderly. At that time, Council requested more detailed plans to be prepared on how funds will be spent. Mr. Lanham reviewed the request for library service to the elderly and recommended approval. Funds Would be used, for the most part, to expand the service of the bookmobile to neighborhoods of the City where there is a concentration of senior citizens and to nursing homes that are not presently being served; special materials for the aged would be purchased. Operation hours of the bookmobile would be increased, which involves the employment of an assisting coordinator to help with the increased operation and a driver. Discussion followed as to whether or not employees should be hired with federal funds, and if they could be hired on a contract basis. Services most needed by the elderly were also discussed, such as transportation; this would be a sizeable project, but could be considered if council desires. Councilman Gentry moved to accept the Administration's recommendation; motion died for lack of second. Councilman Walker moved to accept the Administration's recommendation proveded the additional employees would be hired on a contract basis. Mr. LeFevre indicated this could be done by hiring on a hourly basis, however, the employees would not be entitled to fringe benefits anjoyed by other city employees. Councilman Walker's motion died for lack of second.' Mr. W. O. Tidmon requested Council give serious consideration to providing emergency transportation for the elderly, such a doctor visits ( *Cannon present) Mr. I.M. 'Deacon' Jones, member ofthe Library Board, was of the opinion that the extended library service to the aged is very important, and that funds could be included in the library's budget next year for the additional employees that are proposed to be hired with federal funds. Mr. Joe Barkalow, member of the Library Board, urged Council to view a film strip which was made of the bookmobile in action, before making a decision on the funds. Councilman Gentry moved to table action until the next Council meeting. Councilman Pool seconded the motion: Ayes: Councilmen Gentry, Pool, Walker and Cannon Mayor Walker Nays: None Abstain: Councilman Lander Proposed Ordinance 21214 -7, Rate Schedule for Mobile Homes Mr. Richardson explained this ordinance would increase the rates to be charged for parking permits. The purpose is to bring these fees more in line with what the taxes on two different classes of trailers would be; the permit fee would be charged as per the length of the trailer. Also, when a mobile home owner pays his personal property tax, a credit will be applied to the parking permit fee, up to the amount of tax paid. The question was raised as to whether or not the taxes should off-set the parking permit fee, because this fee was levied to pay the cost of annual inspections of electrical and sewer connections. Councilman Walker moved to adopt the ordinance. Councilman Lander seconded the motion: Ayes: Councilmen Gentry, Pool, Lander and Walker Mayor Walker Nays: Councilman Cannon ORDINANCE NO. 1314 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THECITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, BY THE AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 17�, MOBILE HOME PARRS, BY AMENDING SECTION 173 -4, PARKING PERMITS, MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS, SUBSECTION 5, THEREOF, SO AS TO REPEAL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH SUBSECTION AS PRESENTLY CONSTITUTED, AND TO SUBSTITUTE IN ITS PLACE THE PROVISIONS OF A NEW SUBSECTION (5); REPEALING ORDINANCES INCONSISTENT HEREWITH; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.

A releveling survey of Galveston and Harris Counties, partially financed by the National Geodetic Department will begin in January and may take up to eight months for completion. Mr. Bryant Sparks, representing Bernard Johnson, explained the releveling survey could have a direct hearing on the Master Drainage Plan for Baytown because there may be a conflict of elevation data in the two studies. Although these conflicts are expected to be minor in regard to major drainage channels, some problems may result in the design of the smaller storm sewer systems. If Council preferred, the drainage study could be postponed until the releveling is completed; this would result in more accuracy in the detail of the Master Plan pertaining to elevations of ditch and culvert flowlines. However, additional expenses would be probable because of having to begin the study a second time; this would also result in the City having to wait another 6 -8 months for a Master Plan from which to guide development decisions. Following discussion with Mr. Sparks, Councilman Gentry moved to indicate to Bernard Johnson, Inc., Council's preference to continue the study; Councilman Pool seconded the motion: Ayes: Councilmen Lnder, Gentry, Pool, Walker Mayor Walker Nays: Councilman Cannon Water & Sewer Service - Baytown Sports Complex At the meeting of November 28, Council discussed extending water & sewer service to the Baytown Sports Complex; the Administration was requested to study extending the lines along the west side of the drainage ditch, alonq North Main and along Garth Road and to provide cost estimates. In addition, Council requested a report on what sewer improvements will be needed when this area develops. Mr. Jim Hutchison, consulting engineer, presented Council two alternatives: (1) A 10" water line presently terminates at Baker and North Main; a 10" line could be extended from that point up to Cedar Bayou - Lynchburg Road, and from there extend a 6" line over to East Road and up to the Sports Complex. Council could consider installing fire hydrants at 600' spacing. A 15" sewer line that presently terminates at Massey Tompkins could be extended up to Cedar Bayou - Lynchburg Road, then west to the industrial pipeline corridor; a lift station would be necessary at the corridor. "Z December 14, 1972 These lines would provide service to the area between Massey Tompkins and Cedar Bayou - Lynchburg and the Sports Complex. The estimated cost for extending the lines along North Main is $101,800.00. (2) Extend a 12" sewer line from an existing 12" line on Baker, across Sterling High School property, up to the Complex. However, because of the existing 15" line on Garth Road, this would provide limited service to the area of the Complex. The estimated cost for extending water s sewer along this route is $44,200.00. These lines could be extended along the west side of the drainage ditch if the right -of -way can be obtained; however, service would still be limited by the 15" line on Garth, and the cost would be the same. Although the area of the Sports Complex is projected to be handled by the East District, it could be serviced at the West Main Plant. Mr. Hutchison indicated the difficulty of extending these lines in anticipation of future development in that area, because any lines installed, regardless of the route, will be utilized in the future. Discussion followed concerning Dent Addition, east of Sterling High School, and whether or not the proposed 15" line along North Main would adequately serve that area if annexed.
