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. Councilmen Cannon moved to table
action pending the meeting; Councilman Walker seconded the motion:

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.

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

Award Bid - Radio Equipment
Mr. Cooke, Purchasing Agent, compared the bid of Motorola (opened earlier this

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

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

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.

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

Drainage and Releveling Study
The City of Baytown, in a joint effort with Harris County Flood Control, retained
Bernard Johnson, Inc., to make a comprehensive drainage study of Baytown which is
presently underway. 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

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.

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. Councilman Cannon moved to have the Administration explore the
feasibility of annexing the area bounded by North Main and Cedar Bayou - Lynchburg Road,
approximately 200' over to East Road. Councilman Gentry seconded the motion:
Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Gentry, Pool, Walker and Cannon
