City Manager's Report
Revenue Sharing Funds - The data used by the Treasury Department in determining
allocation of Revenue Sharing Funds was checked by the City's finance department;
there appears to have been errors made in two of the factors.
(1) Adjusted Taxes - Data used was for the fiscal year ending September 30,1070
instead of 1971. This results in a difference of one -half million dollars, partly
because 1971 generated a full year of sales tax, and 1970 did not.
(2) Intergovernmental Transfers (federal funds) A difference of $22,000 has
been determined, although this is not a significant amount.
A letter was sent to the Treasury Department pointing out the discrepancies;
there is a possibility that industrial district payments may be included in the adjusted
tax factor, and clarification of this has been requested also.
HUD - An application was submitted to HUD for funds to develop Goose Creek,
Polly and eayland Parks; however, because many federal programs have been substantially
reduced, funds are not anticipated this year of next year.
In compliance with criteria established by the Texas Highway Commission,
the city's Department of Planning and Traffic is making Changes in standards for
traffic signs and street striping. All changes must be compiled with by 1977.
Utility Advisory Council - The Texas Municipal League recently met with
representatives of cities for the purpose of organizing cities in their plights to
deal effectively with the rate - making problems of utilities. This was prompted
by the proposal of the Legislature to introduce Legislation for state -wide control of
certain utilities. Most representatives at the meeting indicated preference that
control remain with the cities rather than a branch, or commission, of the state.
5371 A-2 - 73
The TNL could act as a central figure in assisting cities in the zeta.
making process, by hiring personnel who would deal with nothing but this
problem, or by dissiminating information between various cities. The representatives
requested to seek guidance, or suggestions, from their respective governing bodies
as to what extent they would like to participate.
In order to .give Council time to formulate opinions and ideas, this will
be considered at the next meeting.
Street improvement - Bids will be received March 1 for streets to be
improved with Revenue Sharing Funds.

Mayor Walker declared the public hearing open for the annexation of land in the
vicinity of Sterling High School and the Baytown Sports Complex.
Mr. Billy Angel, a property owner on North Main Street, questioned the cost
of water and sewer service to the residents of the area. Mr. Lanham reviewed the
tap charges fox water and sewer as follows:

bathroom facility. Mr. Broussard questioned if his company would have to pay approximately
$1,000 for this one facility. Mr. Richardson pointed out a provision in the sewer
ordinance pertaining to small building on large, undeveloped tracts of land; however,
each case would have to be considered separately.
Mr. Doug Green, a resident of Dent Drive, stated he is opposed to being annexed
by the City of Baytown.

or reduced, reate for water 6 sewer extension.

Proposed Ordinance No. 30208 -4, Amend Code, Garbage and Trash
As requested by Council at a recent meeting, a study was made of the rates charged
private haulers for use of the city's landfill. The actual cost to bury garbage at the
landfill is 440 per cubic yard; private haulers from outside the city are charged
500. Haulers from inside the city limits are charged 250 per cubic yard; it has been
determined this is a reasonable charge because it would be more expensive to the City
to assume the responsibility of commercial collections within the city. However, because
the-County recently closed its Crosby area landfill, approximately one-third of the
persons using the City's landfill are Harris County residents.
Mr. Lanham recommended Council adopt proposed Ordinance No. 30208 -4, which
will prohibit persons, who are not residents of Baytown, from dumping at the City's
landfill, unless approval is given by the City Manager and City Council.
Councilman Gentry moved to adopt the ordinance; Councilman Cannon seconded the
motion..
Mr. Refugio Martinez stated his opposition to Council's having recently raised
the residential garbage rates, and now proposing to leave commercial rates the same.
Mr. Clarence Johnson of the Texas Water Quality Board, urged Council to
consider the problems that will arise if County residents are not allowed to use
Baytown's landfill. There are only two other county dumps - one in Laporte, and
one in the vicinity of Highway 90 owned by American Refuse. Mr. Johnson suggested
Baytown has some obligation to its ex.territorial. jurisdiction; he urged Council to
inform Harris County Commissioners if the proposed ordinance is passed, in an effort
to encourage them to.provide a.county dump as soon as possible.
Councilman Lander moved to amend the motion and have the ordinance become
effective thirty days aft e r passage; Councilman Walker seconded the motion.
The vote on the amendment follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Walker and Cannon
Mayor Walker
Nays: Councilmen Gentry and Pool
Councilman Walker moved to amend the motion to increase commercial rates for
haulers within the city to 400 per cubic yard; motion died for lack of second. The
vote on the motion as amended follows:

Authorize Testing of Plastic Refuse Bags
Council previously authorized a test using paper bags for garbage . collection,
however, after some investigation of other cities, and comparison of cost of
plastic bags vs. paper bags, Mr. Lanham recommended proceeding with the test
using plastic bags. Mr. Northcutt explained the test will determine if the City
should convert to use of plastic bags for garbage collection, if the residents
will accept use of the bags, if the bags will provided for cleaner streets and a
neater City, and many major problems related to use of plastic bags.
The areas to be tested are Craigmont Place, Pondersos, Lantern Park,
Xountry Xlub Village, Country Club Oaks, Denny Acres, Wooster Terrace, Wooster
Terrace Extension, Sterling Baytown, Brown and Iddings, and Sweeny No. 1; this
represents approximately 850 -950 residents, or 1,900 garbage containers on a
normal pickup day. Residents will be provided with four bags per week for twelve
weeks; time sheets will be kept to determine the efficiency of using bags.
Following conclusion of the twelve weeks, a questionnaire will be sent to
the residents. Their response, along with the time records, will be evaluated
and a recommendation will be made to Council.

Ordinance No. 30208 -7 will formalize the agreement by contract. Councilman
