Serving with Mr. Smith were Messrs. Ted Kloesel and Laverne Fuller. The Board met seven times, heard 137 protests, and made field trips to inspect somec:of the properties involved in the protests. During the examination of the assessments, the Board approved classifications schedules and depreciation methods for real estate, personal property, utilities, railroads, pipelines, oil producing properties, mineral interests and mobile homes. The Thomas Y. Pickett,firm made the appraisal of industrial properties and reported on the appraisals. The evaluations that they presented on the properties within the city limits as of January 1, 1974, were accepted and approved. Due to the complexity of handling industrial properties for both tax assessments and industrial district payments, the Board will be available to conclude any work that might be necessary. The total increase in valuations over 1973 amounts to $13.5 Million Dollars, or a 5.85% increase. Mr. Smith commended the Tax Department for the manner in which their records are maintained.

Ayes: Council members Lander, Bednarski, Pool, Wilbanks, Dittman & Walmsley Mayor Gentry Nays: None S6 f!S September 12, 1974 City Manager's Report At the last council meeting, a petition was presented by residents of Ponderosa and Lantern Park Additions concerning the hazardous conditions children must face in crossing Baker Road to attend Pumphrey Elementary School. In response to their requests, the 20 -mph signs were removed back toward Garth Road, and the crosswalks on Fairway Drive have been repainted. The petition was considered by the Council's Traffic Committee, and several recommendations were made. First, that no yellow flashing lights be installed at this time, however, additional speed zoning and speed signing be installed. Second, that a shell walkway be constructed on the north side of Baker Road, from Coachman to Ponderosa Drive; however, inasmuch as Harris County has plans for closing a portion of Baker Road -in this vicinity; implementation of this last recommendation should be delayed until the traffic patters is determined. Several residents of the area questioned the decision not to install a traffic signal at the crossing until after the road work is completed. The council was asked to have the traffic committee reconsider their request. Other questions directed to council concerned permanent sidewalk construction, and piping the ditch that parallels Baker Road. Mr. Lanham explained that the engineering firm employed by the county has been contacted about leaving a portion of the existing roadway in place for the children to walk on, and the engineers have indicated they are receptive to this. Funds were not voted in the bond issue to pipe the ditch. Proposed Ordinance No. 480 expresses Council's opposition to granting collective bargaining to the firemen of theCity of Baytown. Councilman Pool moved adoption; CouncilmanLander seconded the motion: Ayes: Council members Lander, Bednarski, Pool, Wilbanks, Dittman & Walmsley Mayor Gentry Nays: None R ESOLUTION NO. 480 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OOUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, OPPOSING THE GRANTING OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING TO THE FIREMEN OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN AND URGING THE CITIZENS TO VOTE "NO" IN THE ELECTION ON OCTOBER 3, 1974.

Baker Road: Mr. John Merkel appeared to ask if council could assist in any way in keeping the bridge open over Baker Road, or in building a by -pass bridge. St. Joseph's school prsently has only two buses for transporting children in Baytown and surrounding communities to the school. Mayor Gentry explained that the City has made its wishes known to the county. The bid that was awarded for Baker Road did not include constructing a by -pass bridge. At this point, the city cannot financially take on the responsibility of a by -pass bridge. Councilwoman Wilbanks requested the administration and the council's traffic committee to begin looking at the county plans for Baker Road to determine what type of signalization will be needed upon completion of the work. September 12, 1974 Public Hearing - Budget 5686 At 7:00 p.m. Mayor Gentry convened the public hearing on the 197475 proposed budget.

The major increases in General Fund are personal services, maintenance of structures, and miscellaneous services. There is also an increase of $180,000 in capital outlay for continuing the street rebuilding and drainage work. In the Water and Sewer Fund, increases are due to personal services, maintenance, supplies and capital outlay. There are increases in certain revenue items that are necessary to finance the proposed expenditures. First, an increase in taxes from $135 per $100 valuation; to $1.52. Council has considered and changed figures to reflect an increase in the exemption for senior citizens to $4,000. The budget includes an increase in the garbage charge, from $2.50 to $3.00. The sanitary sewer rates will be increased to $2.40 minimum charge plus 400 oer thousand gallons; there is also an increase in the tapping charge, however, a specific amount will be considered by council at a later date. The budget reflects anticipated increases in industrial district payments. Mr. John Donnelly, representing the volunteer firemen, stated that the proposed budget did not appear to have any funds designated for a volunteer department for Fire Station No. 6 Mayor Gentry explained that funds are included for purchase of equipment for volunteers, however, funds have not been included for construction of separate meeting room for volunteers. Any additional funds for volunteers, such as a meeting room, could come from contingency in which there is $50,000. There being no one else desiring to speak to the proposed budget, Mayor Gentry declared thepublic hearing closed.

Consider Schedule for Implementation of East District Sanitary Sewer Improvements As discussed at previous meetings, one of the conditions of the grant for the sewer treatment plant expansion provides that the city must have an acceptable plan for reducing the infiltration /inflow in that system. This plan must be developed and approved prior to submitting final plans for proceeding with the expansion. In future projects, it will be necessary not only to develop the plan, but to make the improvements in the system prior to submitting the plans for plant expansion. The engineers have reviewed a draft of the schedule with the Texas Water Quality Board and the EPA, and have received tentative approval. With council's approval, the schedule will be presented formally to the EPA. Councilman Lander moved to approve the schedule for implementation of the East District Plant improvements, and to authorize proceeding with the plans and specifica- tions for the expansion; Councilman Pool seconded the motion: Ayes: Council members Lander, Bednarski,Pool, Wilbanks, Dittman and Walmsley Mayor Gentry Nays: None Authorize Conveyance of City -Owned Property to Harris County for Street Right of way.
