A�+ti tinny
Mr. Billy Jo Ayers presented a petition against the use of the old landfill
site as a designated area for motorcycle trail riders. The petition outlined the
reasons for opposition, and was signed by 30 citizens in the area. Reasons
for opposition follow:
1. The Cedar Crest Cemetery is adjacent to Ferry Road, and the road
leading the the landfill site.
2. Even though the gate to the area will be closed during church services
hours, there will be cyclists coming to the church to see if they can get into
the area, this will cause excessive noise during church services.
3. The area would need building up several feet with fill dirt to make it
safe for tires, arms and legs.
4. A phone should be installed for public use for notification in case of an
accident.
5. Vandalism to the sewage plant could result if the gate was not closed
and locked at a desirable time. Lights would be needed by the gate.
6. Even though there is a fence surrounding the sewer facilities,; there will
be children & teenagers climbing over it. This could result in one falling in the
tank or getting asphyxiated.
7. Several men in the immediate area are shift workers who sleep in the daytime.
8. The noise would be unbearable for those who do not have air conditioning.
9. The road leading to the landfill site, Brickyard Road will be unsafe
for bicyclists.
10. Road improvements will be needed because of dust caused by heavy traffic;
a 15 mph speed limit sign would need to be placed on the road.
11. Would the City accept damages done to private property?
12. This area could be enjoyed by all citizens as a tennis court, picnit area,
or baseball diamond.
Councilman Cannon moved to accept the petition; Councilman Walker seconded the
motion:
Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Gentry, Pool, Walker and Cannon
Mayor Walker
Nays: None
Mr. Ayers explained he was not aware that the Parks Board was considering use
of the landfill for motorcyclists until their recommendation was seen in the

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS,
ESTABLISHING A POLICY WITH REGARD TO PETITIONS FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT
ON AN ASSESSMENT BASIS.
Residents from Huffman Request toll free calls to Baytown
Mrs. B. Michalsky, a Huffman resident, appeared to discuss their request for
toll free phone service to Baytown and Highlands. In her presentation, Mrs.
Michalsky made the following points:
1. Baytown can call Crosby, Shiloh, Highlands, Beach City, Mt. Belvieu,
& Houston.
2. Shiloh can call Baytown, Beach City, Crosby, Highlands, & Mt. Belvieu.
Parts of Crosby are in the Shiloh Telephone District.
3. Highlands can call Crosby, Baytown, Mt Belvieu & Beach City. Parts of
Crosby are in the Highlands Telephone District.
4. Crosby can call Baytown, Highlands, Huffman & Shiloh.
5. Huffman cannot call the Crosby residents in the Shiloh and Highllnds
districts, which is approximately 17 -20 miles away, nor Baytown.
6. The school superintendent, intermediate school principal, the school
board vice president, and a school board members are in the Huffman zone, while
the school board president is in the Shiloh zone. Therefore, in order to converse,
a long distance call must be made.
7. The Huffman telephone office is already equipped to provide toll -free
calls to Baytown and Highlands.
Mrs. W. E. Bailess, stated that General Telephone and the Baytown
City Council committed injury and insult to the Crosby citizens by drawing an
imaginary line which pushed them into the Huffman Telephone District at the time
Expanded Area .Service was adopted. Mrs. Bailess then presented a petition
which read as follows:
March 22, 1973
5399
"we, the undersigned, do hereby petition the Baytown City Council to
grant the Huffman Telephone District Calling privileges to the Baytown - Huffman area.
A local survey has pointed out presssing needs for this service, both from a monetary
and personal viewpoint. Telephone patrons from the district identify with the
associative small image of Baytown as opposed to the distant atmosphere of
Metropolitan Houston. We have doctors, dentists, veterinarians, hospitals, business
establishments, employers, families and friends with whom we desire to have closer
contact. We should point out that the Huffman- Crosby, citizens invest a substantial
amount of money in the Baytown economy, and would do much more if able to check the
availability of merchandise, and make business appointments toll free. The Huffman
district is in theBaytown telephone municipality. "
Mrs. Bailess then prsented letters from businesses in the Crosby - Highlands
area in support of toll free calling to Baytown.
Councilman Walker moved to accept the petitions; Councilman Cannon seconded
the motion:
Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Gentry, Pool, Walker and Cannon
Mayor Walker
Nays: None
Mr. Al Chappell, General Manager of General Telephone Company in Baytown,
explained that his company is in a neutral position concerning this request. If
this is determined to be a feasible project, based on usage and cost studies,
General could extend Huffman's calling privileges to Baytown and Highlands and
Huffman customers. The cost would be prohibitive to extend this service on an
optional basis as was recently provided in Shiloh. The toll free calling would
be accomplished by adding another exchange to the Baytown calling area. This would
be an investment in the Baytown telephone municipality, and this is the reason the
mat would be borne by Baytwon residents and businesses as well as Huffman B
Highlands.
In the interest of Baytown's future growth, Mr. Chappell felt the extended
toll free dialing would be gainful, and that Council should consider the request
carefully. Approximately 1600 phones in the Huffman area will be affected.
Mr. Chappell explained that the lines of a telephone company change as
the dictates, needs, and requirements change. In 1958, a new exchange in
Huffman was established. In 1967, in preparation for Houston Metro Service,
it was obvious that the exchange was undersized, and had toke - resized. The
boundaries of Crosby were reduced, and the boundaries of Highlands and Huffman were
expanded; the resizing was a necessity in order to justify the expenditure of
putting an office in the various zones. This resulted in parts of Crosby being
in the Shiloh zone, and parts being in the Huffman zone.
Council discussed if the residents of Baytown would be willing to pay
the additional mat of having calling privileges extended to Huffman, and if the
additional cost could be justified with regard to traffic between the two towns.
Mr. Chappell stated there is presently a substantial amount of telephone traffic
between Baytown and Huffman. If council desired, a study could be made to determine
the amount of traffic and the cost of extending the service.
Mr. Fred Porter, Superintendent of the Huffman Independent School District,
stated that 36% of the District's calls per month are to Baytown. Also, the northern
section of the school idisrict requires a long distance call. Mr. Porter questioned
the fairness in .paying the same base rate per month as Crosby, when Huffman does
not have the same calling privileges as Crosby.
Councilman Cannon moved to adopt .an informal resolution, requesting General
Telephone to make a study on the cost of extending toll free calling privileges from
Huffman, to Baytown and Highlands. Mayor Walker declared the motion dead for lack
of a second.
Following discussion with the Huffman residents, Councilman Cannon moved to
authorize General Telephone, by informal resolution, to proceed with the study
of additional investment necessary, the approximate cost per user to provide the
service, and the related traffic between the area. Councilman Gentry seconded
the motion:

Mr. Chappell stated the study would take approximately 60 days.
Transfer Taxicab Permits
Mr. Sam Clayton appeared to request transfer of his permits for Safeway Cab
Company to Mr. James E. Clayton, who will purchase the company. Council authorization
is required for such a transfer. Councilman Cannon moved to authorize the transfer
as requested; Councilman Walker seconded the motion:
Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Gentry, Pool, Walker and Cannon
Mayor Walker
Nays: None
Appoint -Civil Defense & Disaster Relief Committee
Chapter 9 of the Code of Ordinances provides that the Civil Defense &
Disaster Relief Committee shall be department heads & officers of the city, to be

recommended the following appointments be approved:
Chief of Police, Assistant Chief Of Police, Fire Chief, Assistant Fire Chief,
Director of Public Works, Health officer, Director of Planning & Traffic,
City Attorney and Administrative Assistant. Councilman Walker moved to approve
the appointments; Councilman Lander seconded the motion:

(Upon Councilman Cannon's request, the printed agenda was suspended and action taken
on the following two items:)
Discuss Vest Pocket Park - Dale Street
At the last Council meeting, council authroized development of the vest pocket
park at the and of Dale Street, provided a board fence will be erected the length
of the park on the sides.
However, property owners in this area have called attention to a deed restriction
that would prevent the fence being constructed the full -length of the
property; the fence must be 25 feet from the street right -of -way, or 10 feet from
the building line. The deed restriction will not expire until 1980, and several
property owners have expressed objection to development of the park if the fence
cannot be constructed the full length of the park.
Mrs. Arnold Schleider, 1602 Sheridan, stated her objections to the park for
the following reasons, as the property in question is next to her home.
-The park will be at her bedroom window.
=The park will ruin the value of her property and the subdivision, especially
if a board fence is erected.
-The children will tear up her yard by cutting through her lawn to get to
the park.
Mrs. Schleider stated she was not aware of plans to develop the vest pocket
park on Sheridan until she read about it in the newspaper. She $ten requested council
to reconsider their previous action, and re- locate the park.
Miss Gwen Kader, 1606 Sheridan, resides on the other side of the proposed park.
Miss Kader stated the park was her idea in view of the number of small children in
this particular area. The closest park is Roseland, and Miss Kader felt the park
would be 6f benefit to the subdivison and urged its development. She stated that
her mother, however, does object to the proposed park.

Mr. Lanham explained that this lot was dedicated as a parkway. State law
defines "parkway" as a part of a street; or property used fox park or pleasure purposes,
or pleasure a recreational purposes. Therfore, the proposed use of this lot would not
be inconsistent with the dedication originally made then the property was platted.
Mr. Wayne Gray, Chairman of the Parks a Recreation Advisory Board, urged council
to continue with development of the park even though there have been some objections.
In a five -block area of this property, 46% of the children are eighteen years of
age and under.
Councilman Lander suggested the fence be constructed as close to the street
as restrictions allow, and continue with shrubbery to the sidewalk. This would
provide someprotection to the adjacent lawns, and would serve as a noise buffer.
Councilman Cannon moved to rescind action taken at the last meeting (to approve
development of the park) in view of the fence restriction. However, motion died
for lack of a second.
Mrs. Schleider asked why she and her neighbors were not notified in regard to
development of the park. Mr. Lanham explained that it is not city policy to contact
residents in a particular area when a park development is planned.
Counclman Cannon suggested the administration work with the residents on
either side of the park in reaching an agreement regarding the fence.
Discuss using Portion of Cedar Bayou Landfill for Trail Bikes
Mr. Wayne Gray referred to the petition from Mr. Larry McAdams requesting the
Cedar Bayou Landfill site be used for trail bikes. Since the area cannot be used for
park purposes for several years, Mr. Gray, on behalf of the Parks Board, recommended
the back portion of the landfill be opened to trail and mini bikes on a trial basis.
Preparation for this activity would cost approximately $600, most of which is for
fill dirt. Mr. Gray agreed there could be no riding during services at the nearby
church and adjacent cemetery. Since the riding would be a daytime activity only,
Mr. Gray recommended the area not be lighted. The area which the bikes would use
is approximate ;y 700 feet from the nearest home; the many trees surrounding the
landfill would serve as a buffer to the noise.
In order to organize an operational play for council to consider, Mr. Lanham
recommended this be referred back to the Administration for study.
Councilman Lander moved to accept Mr. Lanham's recommendation; Councilman
Walker seconded the motion:
Ayes: Councilmen Lander, Gentry, Pool, Walker and Cannon
Mayor Walker
Nays: None
Appointments - Museum Advisory Board
The terms of Mr. W. C. "Doug" Jackson and Mr. Robert P. Kelley on the
Museum Advisory Board expire this month. The Board has recommended these gentlemen

approve the appointments. Councilman Walker seconded the motio n:

Mayor Walker
Nays: None

Mr. Jack Morton recommended accepting the low bid of B & B Utility Contractors
in the amount of $58,214, for 14 -guage corregated metal pipe. Although alternate
bids were received on 16 -guage CMP, Mr. Morton explained that because of the shallow
depth of the installation, the known expansion & contraction of the soils in this
area, &.the possible load that might be placed on the surfact such as a roadway or
parking area, the heavier 14 -guage pipe is better suited for the project.
