Approve Minutes__ Councilman Walmsley moved approval of the minutes of the emergency meeting held July 18, and the regular meeting held July 24, and ratification of the actions taken at those meetings; Councilman Hutto seconded the motion: Ayes: Council members Pool, Wilbanks, Hutto and Walmsley Mayor Gentry Nays: None Petition Mr. Lee Alexander presented a petition bearing 732 signatures, asking that the traffic light which was recently removed at the intersection of Gaillard and Defee Streets be reinstalled to afford safety for both pedestrian and auto traffic. Mr. Alexander, in reading the petition, stated that many of the pedestrians who cross Defee at this intersection are senior citizens, and the traffic light is needed as a safety measure. ( *Councilman Lander present) The traffic study recently completed determined this light was not warranted, and the Traffic Committee acted accordingly in recommending it be removed. In view of the number of signatures on the petition, however, council discussed the fact that statistics do not always present a full picture. Councilman Walmsley moved to re- install the traffic light; Councilman Hutto seconded the motion. Since this light was previously placed on a flashing basis. The vote on the motion follows: Ayes: Council members Pool, Wilbanks, Hutto and Walmsley Mayor Gentry Nays: None Abstain: Councilman Lander City Manager's Report A letter from the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation was received concerning the appearance of Baytown's delegation before the Highway Commission on July 31 regarding the construction of Loop 201. The letter advises that the department's present financial condition will not permit construction of Loop 201 at the rate previously anticipated. The remaining work will be scheduled in steps as funding permits. August 14, 1975 City Manager's Report, continued 5874 Mr. Lanham has received a letter from Mr. Dick Doss, County Engineer, regarding Baytown's request that Baker Road be left at the highest elevation possible. Mr. Doss advises that in view of the1act that the county's plans are complete, the cost of changing them cannot be justified. Present plans call for a 24' wide street with curb & gutter. The roadway will be cut down as much as three feet. Should funds become available in the future, another 24 -foot wide roadway could be constructed with curb & gutter and storm sewer. Mayor Gentry suggested that he and Mr. Lanham meet with Commissioner Fonteno regarding this matter. At the last meeting, Mr. Lanham reported that the Department of Housing and Urban Development was not encouraging Baytown to submit an application for Community Development Discretionary Block Grant. Approximately $500,000 has been allocated among five cities in the Houston SMSA. In view of this, Mr. Lanham recommended that Baytown not pursue an application at this time, but that an application be submitted for the second year's funding. Commissioner Fonteno has received a petition requesting that the name of Cedar Bayou - Lynchburg Road be changed. Six houses on this road are within the City limits, and Mr. Fonteno has asked for council's feeling on this. Mayor Gentry suggested that Commissioner Fonteno be asked to provide more information, i.e., what the new name of the road would be, and how many of the residents living on Cedar Bayou - Lynchburg are in favor of a change. The sewer line cleaning in Brownwood and the sliplining project on James Bowie Drive has been completed. Garth Road - the contractor is pouring the last section today and all that remains to be done is the curb and driveways. All of the sanitary sewer improvements that were made in the Central District are now in service. The Craigmont plant has been taken out of service. The next meeting of the Harris County Mayors' and Councilmen' s Association will be on August 21, with the program being a presentation by H L & P. Mr. Reese, chairman of the board of H L & P will be principal speaker. At the meeting in Houston last month, at which Mayor Hofheinz presented the City of Houston's case against the rate increase being asked by H L & P, many of the mayor expressed a desire to hear H L & P's case also. Thatmeeting was attended by representatives of Cove, Beach City, and Mont Belvieu because of their close proximity to Harris County, and Mayor'Gentry indicated plans to invite them to the meeting on August 21 as well. Council offered no: objection. There have been number of calls regarding Park Street,and Mr. Lanham reported that work has begun to remedy the problem that has arisen. The contract on this portion of the street was never closed, and tests made on the street indicated the improvements did meet our specifications. There is remaining in that contract $61,000 appropriated for streets, and $35,000 of that for Park Street which has not been spent. Brown & Root has agreed to remove the flexible base that is there, and replace it with a concrete base. It seems that the problem is being caused by the heavy truck traffic. Park Street is a truck route, and it appears that eventually a load limit will have to be established. Mr. Lanham was asked to prepare a report on the progress of the railroad signalization program. Mr. Robert Parker Mr. Parker has advised he would not appear before council tonight. 5875 August 14, 1975 West Sewer District Infiltration /Inflow Analysis Mr. Wayne Smith, representing Langford Engineering, appeared concerning the West Sewer District Infiltration /Inflow Analysis. This was required for the Step 1 grant for the West District under the PL 92 -500 Program. The analysis made by Langford Engineering certifies the existence of infiltration /inflow problems, and recommends going to a Systematic Sewer System Evaluation Survey, which is another phase of the Step 1 project. Upon Council's approval of the plan, Mr. Smith will meet with the Texas Water Quality Board to ask their approval. Mr. Smith requested council authorization to proceed with the Survey and request an increase of $67,500 in the EPA grant; Mr. Lanham recommended approval.
