Drainage Study The drainage study made by Bernard Johnson Engineers has been completed and council has been given copies of the report. This was financed jointly by the city of Batyown and Harris County. Mr. Lanham referred to a map showing those improvements recommended to be completed by 1978. The total estimated cost for construction of these priorities, not including right of way, is $2,464,100; if the improvements outside the city limits are deducted, estimated cost will be $2,185,500. The estimated cost of the remaining needed improvements is an additional $3,034,900, less those outside Baytown, leaving $2,276,300. The grand total for all the needed improvements in the city limits, recommended by Bernard Johnson engineers, is $4,461,800. Mayor Gentry suggested Council study the report and ask questions of Mr. Bryant Sparks of Bernard Johnson at a later date. From the report, two tables have been prepared: Table I - drainage problems that result in flooding of homes, and Table II - problems that cause inconveniences and flooded yards, but not flooded homes. Mr. Lanham recommended Council approve the following improvements from Table I, and establishing priorities as numbered: 1. Ditch between Inwood & Pamela - pipe this ditch with city crews. (this project has already been approved by council) 2. Ditch behind White Hall apartments, Greenwood St, Sherwood St, and Buchanan Street - pipe this ditch with 36" pipe with ci tyforces. 3. Kilgore Road from Cedar Bayou Road to James Street both sides and immediate areas, ile., Morning Drive, Rosilee, Ward Road, etc. - road ditches will be cleaned and cut to grade, culverts resized and set to grade, some storm sewer at Ward Road and possibly at Morning Drive easement - work to be done with city crews. 4. Goose Creek Drive, Arrowhead & general area - new storm sewer either along existing sborm sewer or to find another more direct route to Goose Creek STream (will require right of way) - work to be done with city forces. 5. Stewart Heights Subdivision, inluding Cedar Bayou Road from railroad to North Main. Clean ditches to grade, remove & resize culverts - work to be done with city forces. Councilman Dittman moved to accept the recommendation and proceed with the priorities as recommended; Councilman Bednarski seconded the motion. Table I also includes St. James House, Bayway and Baker Road; the ditches and culverts along Bayway are not large enough, nor to grade. Bernard Johnson engineers have recommended the installation of storm sewer along the west side of Bayway Drive, between Baker and the flood contol ditch. This will cost an estimated $117,000. Mr. Lanham recommended this be done with revenue sharing funds if council chooses this route, and that the work be contracted. Also, the funds approved in the Harris County bond issue might possibly be applied to this project. Discussion followed regarding the future possibility of re- construction of Bayway Drive; if this is done, the work and money applied to the installation of new culverts and storm sewer would be lost. For this reason, a temporary solution to relieve inundation of the area was discussed - that being to re -set, or replace, considerable amount of pipe along the east side of Bayway. (this would cost $10,000 for materials). Another temporary solution would be to remove all the pipe presently there, rebuild the driveways, and leave the ditches open. Mr. Lanham was requested to study the Bayway situation further and compe back to Council with additional recommendations. Also, the county could be contacted to see if they could furnish labor, if the open -ditch route is chosen. Mayor Gentry then called for the vote on the motion: Ayes: Council members Bednarski, Pool, Wilbanks, Dittman and Cannon Mayor Gentry Nays: None August 9, 1973 Authorize Bidding - Public Works Building 5477 In the 1970 bond issue, voters approved $200,000 for the construction of a new public works building. Mr. Bitsy Davis, arthictect, presented the detailed plans and specifications to Council, and Mr. Lanham recommended their approval and authorization to receive bids September 11 at 4:00 p.m. Mr. Davis discussed the plans briefly with council, afterwhich Councilman Pool moved to.accept Mr. Lanham's recommendation; Councilman Cannon seconded the motion: Ayes: Council members Bednarski, Pool, Wilbanks, Dittman and Cannon Mayor Gentry says; None Proposed Ordinance No. 30809 -4, Award Bid - Diesel Engine for Fir t u k Mr. Don Cooke, purchasing agent, along with Fire Chief Bailey, has reviewed the bid of American LaFrance and has determined it to be a very low bid. Approximately nine or ten thousand dollars was budgeted for the purchase of a diesel engine, and American LaFrance's bid is for the amount of $7,295.00. Mr. Lanham recommended Council award the bid. Councilman Pool moved to accept the recommendation; Councilman Bednarski seconded the motion: Ayes: Council members Bednarski, Pool, Wilbanks, Dittman and Cannon Mayor Gentry Nays: None The caption of the ordinance follows: ORDINANCE NO. 1447 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RAYTOWN, TEXAS, ACCEPTING THE BID OF AMERICAN LAFRANCE FOR THE PURCHASE OF A DIESEL ENGINE FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN AND AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT BY THE CITY OF THE SUM OF SEVEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED NINETY-FIVE AND ($7,895.00) NO 1100 DOLLARS WITH REGARD TO SUCH ACCEPTANCE. Change Contract - Bayshore Constructors and Tidal Construction Company Mr. Wayne Smith and Mr. Bill McDaniel, of Langford Engineering, appeared to discuss their recommendations for deleting 665 feet of 24 -inch gravity sewer line from the contract of Bayshore Constructors (Contract q3) and the addition of an alternate program to the contract with Tidal Construction Company. The 24 -inch line was to be installed on the South side of West Main. During construction, the contractor discovered an unknown obstacle or structure. An attempt to construct the sewer line in the limited space available may endanger either West Main Street, or the treatment plant. For these reasons, Langford Engineering has recommended the foll6wing alternate program be added to the contract with Tidal Construction Company (Contract N1): Rehabilitate the existing West Main Treatment Plant Lift Station, including new pumps, re -use of existing motors, furnishing and installing all appurtenances piping, controls, and electrical facilities. Install and construct treatment plant drain lines. Mr. Bobbit, of Bayshore Constructors, stated that he has incurred some debt in finding this obstacle. Mr. Smith explained that this figure would be negotiated, and that it will be another week before the cost Bayshore has incurred will be known. Discussion followed as to whether Council should authorize the change pending a settlement with the contractor; or if the cost incurred by the contractor is substantial; council may desire Bayshore to install the line as originally contracted. Councilman Pool moved to proceed with the recommended changes, assuming a satisfactory settlement can be made with the contractor, and satisfactory to the council. Councilman Dittman seconded the ;ration: Ayes. Council members Bednarski, Pool, Wilbanks, Dittman and Cannon Mayor Gentry Nays: None Criminal Justice Funds Proposed Resolution No. 449 will authrrize the Chief of Police to make application to the Criminal JusticeCouncil for $106,330 per year for the next three years (yearly applications must be made) in order to employ nine additional patrolmen. Mr. Lanham noted this was given a kl priority rating by the Houston - Galveston Area Council, and recommended council adopt the resolution. 541d August 9, 1973 Councilman Cannon moved to adopt the resolution; Councilman Bednarski seconded the motion; Ayes: Council members Bednarski, Pool, Wilbanks, Dittman and Cannon Mayor Gentry Nays: None RESOLUTION NO. 449 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CHIEF OF POLICE OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, TO MAKE APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS CRIMINAL JUSTICE COUNCIL FOR FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED SIX THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED THIRTY AND N01100 ($106,330) DOLLARS PER YEAR FOR A THREE YEAR PERIOD TO EMPLOY NINE ADDITIONAL PATROLMEN. 7 Approve Streets for Re- construction — 'PA 0 s 2 Several months ago, Council appropriated $161,986.00 of Revenue Sharing Funds for the first half of this year for street re- construciion; Mr. Lanham recommended the following list of streets be approved. Kentucky (Florida to Louisiana) Danubina (James to Ward) McKinney (Hwy 146 to Massey T.) Ridgeway (Pond Circle to Bayshore) Woodlawn (E. Fayle to Narcille) Jasmine (Holly Dr to Tanglewood) N. Ashbel (Hunnicutt to Marion) Tanglewood (N. Holly to Robin Rd) The total estimated cost of the streets is $169,200, which is more than the amount appropriated. After the bids are received and tabauated, Council might choose to eliminate one street, or the difference could be appropriated from Revenue Sharing Funds for the last half of this year. Councilman Bednarski moved to approve the streets as recommended; Councilman Dittman seconded the motion. It will be approximately 30 days after the next council meeting before plans & Specifications will be ready for presentation to council on these streets. Councilman Pool urged the Administration to look for a way to speed up preparation of the plans & specs in the drafting department, and if necessary, hire additdonal help to supplement those presently employed. Mr. Lanham explained the delay is because of the number of streets in the 1973 Street Improvement Program.
