City Manager's Report Each Council member has been provided with a copy of the contract entitled, "Water Supply Contract - Treated Water," which is recommended by the Baytown Area Water Authority for the sale of treated water by BAWA to the City of Baytown. The Administration recommended including said contract on the agenda for the December 9th meeting of Council. At that meeting, it will be necessary to take action on the contract between BAWA and the City of Baytown, as well as call the Contract Election for January 15. If these two items are not passed at that time, the election would have to be delayed until April, 1977. *Jody Lander present. Mr. Lanham asked if Council desired to schedule a work session with the Baytown Area Water Authority in order to discuss the contract. Council concurred and schedule the work session for Tuesday, November 30, 1976, at 5:00 p.m. �1' 6317 Minutes of the Regular Meeting- November 23, 1976 The Citizens Committee to Combat Subsidence which was formed to encourage people to vote has already received a number of invi- tations to speak for various organizations. Mr. Paul Jason, President of the Baytown Area Water Authority, has tendered his resignation from the Board effective November 23, 1976. Mr. Jason has accepted a reassignment with his firm. Anti- Recession Fund Checks - Some cities are receiving anti - recession fund checks from the federal government. Baytown has received a check in the amount of $3,442 for one quarter of this year. These funds come from the Office of Revenue Sharing and are based on the unemployment rate in this area. The check received is for the present quarter -- no check has been received for the quarter beginning July 1. The funds can be used to employ persons or to provide basic services by the city. Payments may not be used to initiate a service that was not provided in the past two years or to purchase supplies or materials. The Administration will make recommendations at a later date for proposed uses of said funds. Bob Smith Road Storm Sewer Project - This project is underway. The contractor will pour the modifications to the outfall ditch headwall tomorrow. This is located on the west side of North Main. East District Sewage Treatment Plant - The project is 92% complete with 78% of the contract time being used. 1976 -1977 Annual Budget - The Council has been provided with a copy of the 1976 -1977 Annual Budget, along with a copy of the General Study Plan of Baytown, Texas, which has been prepared by Mike Weaver under the provisions of the grant received by the city for transportation planning. There will be an item on the agenda for December 9 for Council approval of the plan and authorization to use the plan for future planning uses. The second regular Council meeting in December is on December 23 which is the day before a holiday for many persons. The Administration suggested that the second meeting be changed to Tuesday, December 21. Council concurred with the Administration's recommendation. Mayor Gentry inquired as to the status of West Texas Avenue near Airhart where Loop 201 intersects. The Administration explained that the Highway Department had indicated this past summer that this area would be expedited. Crews were pouring concrete today, but the City is not aware when traffic will be allowed on that section of West Texas Avenue. Council requested the Administration check with the Highway Department regarding that matter. Councilman Lander inquired whether it would be feasible to construct a ramp at the Civic Center for those persons in wheel- chairs wishing to participate in functions held in the center. Presently there is a ramp at the entrance of City Hall and at the Eternal Flame. Councilman Lander requested the Administration make an estimate for such a ramp at the Civic Center. Council concurred. Councilman Kloesel expressed concern about the disrepair of sections of West Main Street. The Administration explained that this street is still on the County's log; however, the City does most of the maintenance. In regard to the possibility of rebuilding West Main, Mayor Gentry stated that the City hopes to cooperate with the County on the project. The Administration suggested that Council wait until the Highway Department contractor has made more progress on the Loop 201 overpass at West Main before contacting the County regarding the rebuilding of West Main. 6318 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - November 23, 1976 Councilman Kloesel requested an estimate be made for a passage parallel to the bridge on West Texas Avenue that would be suitable for persons walking or riding bicycles. Since Baker Road is deteriorating at such a rapid rate, Councilman Hutto inquired if the City could obtain some of the topping or stabilized base material from Bayway Drive and fill some of the holes on Baker. Mr. Lanham explained that Bayway Drive is a state project and all excess materials are being stockpiled. In response to a question from Council, Ivan Langford III, Director of Public Works, explained that the contractor on Baker Road had been slowed by the weather, but was pouring the section of concrete where the old paving meets the new concrete and patching the holes today. In regard to the pipeline work on Baker, the Administration explained that all existing pipelines have been lowered and no additional work should be required other than completion of the street. Temporary Tax Exemption - U. S. Steel The information contained in the letter from Mr. G. E. Bradford of the Realty Development Division of U. S. Steel Corporation, requesting a temporary tax exemption for the construction of a new pipe mill at U. S. Steel is in accordance with the provisions of Resolution No. 514. Item No. 7 of the letter should include that the new facility will have two 100' x 1550' aisles and one 100' x 400' aisle. After a thorough study of the materials, the Adminis- tration recommended approval of the temporary exemption. Mr. Lanham explained that the exemption involved four years, with the first year requiring no payment to the City. Since the construction has already begun, the first year would be the present calendar year. During the next three years, payments would be due. Councilman Lander moved for approval of the temporary exemption; Councilman Kimmons seconded the motion. Mr. Glass of U. S. Steel explained to Council that construction had started in June, 1976, and should be operational by the first quarter of 1978. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Lander, Kimmons, Kloesel, Wilbanks and Hutto Mayor Gentry Nays: None Ordinance - Mechanical Code This item has been discussed at several meetings. Scott Bounds, Assistant City Attorney, explained the changes in the ordinance made at a recent meeting of the Mechanical Board. Three basic changes were made. The first was in the years of experience for the air conditioning contractor and for the journeyman. In the previous proposed ordinance, an air conditioning contractor would have been required to have three years practical experience in the air conditioning contracting business or a degree in mechanical engineering and one year practical experience with the degree accounting for two years of the required practical experience. The Board changed this requirement for a contractor to three years experience as an air conditioning contractor else- where, or four years experience as a licensed journeyman, or one year experience in the contracting business along with a college degree in engineering or mechanical engineering. The requirements for a journeyman were changed to two years experience rather than one year and eliminated the section which allowed that proof of qualifications could be substituted for practical experience. Now, an applicant must be an apprentice for two years before applying for a journeyman's license. 6319 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - November 23, 1976 The second change was the deletion of the provisions including crimes of moral turpitude, drunkeness, and insanity, which could have been grounds for revocation or suspension of a license. The third change was in the insurance requirement. Under the previous proposed ordinance, the requirement was that if a contrac- tor's insurance lapsed, the license would be suspended, and, if the insurance was not renewed within a certain period of time, the contract must go through the licensing procedure. Rather than sus- pend the license, the Board has decided to change that section to make it unlawful to do any contracting without having proper insurance. The Administration recommended approval of the ordinance. Councilman Kimmons moved for the adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Lander seconded the motion. In regard to Section 161�- 21(f), License Without Examination, Councilman Kloesel felt that a statement could be added to require the applicant to show proof of qualifications before an emergency license is issued. This addition would prevent inexperienced persons from doing work in Baytown under an emergency license. Mr. Bounds explained that, in effect, this proof was already required since the Mechanical Board had to approve all licenses before issuance. Councilman Kloesel expressed concern that the Inspection Department might issue these temporary permits without Board approval. At this point Mayor Gentry stated that the discussion of the Mechanical Code must be delayed until after the public hearing scheduled at 7:00 p.m. "Allen Cannon present. Public Hearing and Ordinance - Houston Lighting and Power Company's Request for Reduction of Cost of Service Adjustment and Fuel Cost Adjustment Mayor Gentry called the hearing on Houston Lighting and Power Company's request for reduction in cost of service adjustment and fuel cost adjustment to order. Mr. Quin McWhirter, Division Manager of Houston Lighting and Power Company, explained that the cost of service clause which has passed last spring included some items which should not have been. There are some areas under the cost of service adjustment in which money has been collected that has deviated from the amount which should have been collected. This deviation was not caused by faulty arithmetic, but from the formula itself which was created jointly by HL$P and the Public Service Department of the City of Houston. The formula contained items which were not intended to be used in calcu- lating the cost of service adjustment; and, for that reason, HL$P has filed with the City of Baytown a revision of tariff in order to remove these items from the cost of service adjustment and, thereby lower the collection under said clause. This will include a correc- tion in the base period cost, as well as the amount collected monthly. In addition to this reduction, there will be a small retroactive rate reduction for the five months this clause has been in effect. The excess revenue that has been collected will be returned to the customers on the December bill. Councilman Cannon questioned if this was the same proposal that was causing the controversy in Houston. Mr. McWhirter explained that there was a newspaper article in Houston that stated HL &P was request- ing a rate hike. He further explained that the fuel cost adjustment was higher because of an under - collection a few months ago. In this regard the article was misleading. 6320 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - November 23, 1976 The Administration recommended approval of the adjustment. Mayor Gentry then declared the hearing closed. Councilman Kimmons moved for approval of the ordinance; Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Lander, Kimmons, Wilbanks, Hutto and Cannon Mayor Gentry Nays: None Abstained: Councilman Kloesel ORDINANCE NO. 2126 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, BY THE AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 31, "UTILITIES," BY AMENDING ARTICLE I, ELECTRICAL SERVICE, BY AMENDING SECTION 31 -6, FUEL COST AND COST OF SERVICE ADJUSTMENT, BY REPEALING SUBSECTIONS (b) AND (c) AND BY ADOPTING NEW SUBSECTIONS (b) AND (c), AMENDING PROVISIONS RELATING TO ADJUSTMENTS IN FUEL COST AND COST OF SERVICE; PRESCRIBING A MAXIMUM PENALTY OF TWO HUNDRED ($200.00) DOLLARS; REPEALING ORDINANCES INCONSISTENT HEREWITH; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Ordinance - Mechanical Code Following the hearing, Council returned to the discussion of the Mechanical Code ordinance. Councilman Kloesel continued with Section 16�- 21(f), License Without Examination. He stated that the 180 day time limit tends to be restrictive in that it could eliminate some qualified contractor or journeyman from being eligible under this section. Mr. Bounds explained that this provision is intended to give a sufficient length of time in order to give proof of the quality of work said contractor or journeyman can provide. Councilman Kloesel stated that 180 days prior to the effective date could eliminate contractors that have not been engaged in the business for the past six months. Mr. Bounds stated that problem could be alleviated by deleting the word "continuously ". Mayor Gentry stated that he was not certain that by merely eliminating the word "continuously" the problem would be solved. Councilman Hutto stated that from the beginning he has had mixed emotions concerning this proposed ordinance; particularly because of the lack of interest on the part of those included, such as journeymen and contractors. Councilman Kloesel felt that this disinterest was caused by the lack of representation of journeymen and contractors on the Board. He pointed out that there was only one air conditioning contractor on the Board. Councilman Kimmons pointed out that by eliminating "continuously" from the grandfather clause without substituting another time period could qualify someone who has been in the air conditioning contract- ing business for 180 days ten years ago to obtain a license without an examination. Councilman Kloesel moved to amend the motion to add "during the past five years" to Section 16h -21 (f), and to add "provided the applicant provides proof that he possesses qualifications stated hereunder for a journeyman" to Section 16h -12 (f). Councilman Lander seconded the motion. 6321 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - November 23, 1976 The vote on the amended motion follows: Ayes: Council members Lander, Kimmons, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Hutto and Cannon Nays: Mayor Gentry It was pointed out that the effective date of the ordinance would be ten days from the date of passage. The vote on the ordinance with the approved changes follows: Ayes: Council members Lander, Kimmons, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Hutto and Cannon Nays: Mayor Gentry Abstained: Councilman Cannon ORDINANCE NO. 2127 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 16'x, "MECHANICAL CODE," BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW SUBSECTION 3(c), GRANTING THE MECHANICAL BOARD LICENSING POWERS; BY THE ADOPTION OF REGULATORY MEASURES AND GUIDE- LINES PERTAINING TO LICENSING; PRESCRIBING A MAXIMUM PENALTY OF TWO HUNDRED ($200.00) DOLLARS; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THE ENTIRE CHAPTER. Ordinance - Abandonment of Whiting Street from American Avenue South to Southern Pacific Railroad In a letter from Mr. Robert E. Peterson, Board Chairman of the Lee College Board of Regents, the Board requested that the portion of Whiting Street from American Avenue south to the Southern Pacific Railroad right of way be closed and deeded to Lee College. The Board's reason for the request is to make it possible to provide more efficient and economic electrical service. The College now owns the HL$P property which fronts on Pruett Street. Mr. Lanham explained that in 1963 the City Council adopted a resolution as a guide for the abandonment of rights of way, easements, etc. It provides that the City will obtain an appraisal of the land involved; however, it also provides that payment may be waived by Council if the applying entity is a charitable organization. All the utility companies have been contacted regarding the possibility of closing said street. Each stated a need for an easement across the property; therefore, no structures could be built in this area. Councilman Kloesel stated that he was in favor of this transfer, but he did not understand what enhancement it would offer since no structures could be built there. Mayor Gentry requested that Mr. Peterson explain the necessity for this street to be closed. Mr. Peterson responded that Lee College had procured the HL$P property approximately two years ago with the intent of enlarging the campus. The HL$P building is presently being used for a fine arts building. Mr. Peterson then referred to a drawing of the area in question which showed two structures under construction - a maintenance building and a vehicle garage. The immediate need for the property is to provide electrical service to the two new buildings. The service will come from a transformer on the main campus across Whiting Street. Another need concerns the safety of students and college employees who cross the area at various times during the day. Since the only use of that portion of the street is for access to the campus, Mr. Peterson stated there seemed to be no need for the City to maintain it. 6322 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - November 23, 1976 In 1973 the City spent approximately $3,400 paving that portion of Whiting Street. The Administration recommended that the City should recover at least the cost of paving for closing the street. Councilman Kloesel suggested that perhaps in lieu of Lee College reimbursing the City for the closing of the street, an exchange of educational facilities, etc. could be negotiated for such things as fire classes, police classes, etc. Mayor Gentry questioned whether Lee College could be considered a charitable institution and could be exempt from any payment in accordance with said resolution. Mr. Lanham explained that any entity desiring the City to abandon a portion of its property must first make application to the City Manager. Secondly, an appraisal must be made, said appraisal revealed a fair market value of $5,700. If Council chooses to abandon property, the benefited group must make payment to the City commensurate with the value of said group's abutting property; however, Council may waive payment if the applicant is a charitable institution. Mr. Peterson stated that there has never been any cause to determine whether or not Lee College is a charitable institution. Mayor Gentry stated that payment could not be waived under the provisions of the resolution unless such a determination had been made. Councilman Kloesel suggested that the resolution be amended to include the public schools and the college district. Councilman Hutto asked if it would be possible to close the street and deed it to Lee College at no cost. Mayor Gentry explained that payment could be waived only if the applicant was a charitable institution. Councilman Kloesel moved to abandon the street and deed it to Lee College at no cost. Mayor Gentry suggested that perhaps the street could be closed, but not deeded to Lee College. Councilman Kimmons explained that if the property were not deeded to Lee College, it would not be possible under HL &P's regulations for the college to carry power over that area. Councilman Cannon explained that he was in favor or working with other governmental entities, but he was concerned with the fact that Lee College covers a different group of taxpayers than the City. He further stated that he would support closing the street at a payment of fair market value and, if each governing body covered the same group of taxpayers, then he would be in favor of closing the street at no cost to the college if it legal. Councilman Kloesel restated his motion -- to abandon the street and deed it to Lee College at no cost; Councilman Kimmons seconded the motion. Since the proposed ordinance did not meet the specifications of the motion, Councilman Kloesel changed the motion to instruct the Administration to prepare an ordinance, along with any other neces- sary instruments, to abandon Whiting Street from American Avenue south to the Southern Pacific Railroad and deed it to Lee College at no cost; Councilman Kimmons seconded the motion. Mr. Richardson stated that he would further research the propriety of giving City property away -- it is one situation to abandon a street for use and another to give an interest in real property. An ordinance will be prepared, along with a brief for Council consideration. If the property can be added, instru- ments will be prepared retaining easements across said property. k, k, 6323 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - November 23, 1976 At this point since Council had no objections to the prepa- ration of the ordinance, Councilmen Kloesel and Kimmons withdrew the motion and second, respectively.

Mayor Gentry questioned why the low bidder did not meet specifications.

Change Order No. 2 - 1976 Street Improvement Proeram This would delete the portion of Hunnicutt Street from the recently approved paving program and add it to the present contract with Brown and Root that is nearing completion. This is the portion of Hunnicutt where the City has recently installed both new storm sewer and sanitary sewer lines and is now in urgent need of repair. Several months ago Brown and Root was contacted about adding this street to the present contract and they were not interested. Since the City had already added approximately 25% to their contract, Brown and Root could not be forced to make this addition. Recently, Brown and Root has indicated that they would be willing to add Hunnicutt Street to the contract at an estimated cost of $43,577.50. The Administration recommended removing Hunnicutt Street from the present plan and including it in the contract with Brown and Root. Another reason for proceeding in this manner, other than the fact that Brown and Root can begin construction next week, is that the engin- eering department needs to expedite plans and specifications for Item No. 19, Community Development Act Projects, if that item is passed. Councilman Lander moved to adopt the ordinance; Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion, Councilman Kloesel stated that in his opinion the City should take bids on this project. He made note of Nebraska Street which was done about three or four years ago by Brown and Root and now has water leaking up through cracks in the surface. He also stated that he was not satisfied with the topping on Mississippi. He further stated that sometimes when a competitive bid is received for an addition to the contract, the work could be highly competitive; therefore, he stated that he could not support the motion. Councilman Cannon stated that all work of this nature was bid on the same specifications and it was up to the City's Engineering Department to inspect the work and see that it is up to par. In regard to Nebraska Street cracking, this cannot totally be blamed on the contractor or the construction since in 1971 the City was not requiring the contractor to lime stabilize the sub -base.

These stop intersections need to be authorized at this time so that the City will be ready to install the signs when Loop 201 is completed. These intersections have been studied and approved by the Citizen's Traffic Council. The Administration concurred with the recommendation of the Council's Traffic Committee. Councilman Kimmons made the motion to adopt the ordinance; Councilman Lander seconded the motion. Councilman Kloesel stated that it appeared all the intersections were from streets feeding off Loop 201 instead of onto the loop. Mr. Lanham explained that at the present time the only roads open will be feeder roads since it is uncertain when construction will begin on the loop.

Resolution No. 552 - Community Development Act Projects The City has been informed by Harris County that its share of Community Development Funds is $299,064. The City has ninety (90) days in which to prepare plans and specifications, receive bids, and execute contracts. Of this time fifteen (15) days have already passed. A list of recommended projects which was derived from the hearing held by both the Planning Department and the City Council was included in the packet. Projects include the paving of West Republic Avenue; construction of pedestrian ways on West Texas Avenue and Laredo Street; demolition of structures in the target area; and storm sewer projects on Laredo Street, West Republic Avenue, West Gulf Avenue, West Humble Avenue, Fortinberry Street, Hunter Street and Granville Street. These projects total approxi- mately $20,000 more than the funds available, but the estimates could be somewhat high. If, after taking bids, the total is still over the allotted funds, the Administration will recommend that Hunter Street be removed from the project list and be done with city forces. It is necessary to act on this item at this meeting. The Engineering Department is ready to begin preparation of plans so that the deadlines can be met. Councilman Kloesel moved for approval of the resolution; Councilman Cannon seconded the motion.

Phillips. Mr. Phillips, a local painter, was unable to meet the bond requirements of the specifications. The Administration recommended that the specifications be revised, that authorization be made for the advertisement to rebid this project, and that a portion of Mr. Phillips' bid bond be retained to cover the advertising for said bid. Councilman Kimmons moved to approve the recommendation of the Administration, Councilman Kloesel seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Lander, Kimmons, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Hutto and Cannon Mayor Gentry Nays: None Advertise for Bids - Additional Blower and Motor for the West Main Sewage Treatment Plant During the past summer there were several breakdowns at the West Main Sewage Treatment Plant. The Administration feels that it is necessary to purchase a spare blower and motor. The estimated cost of the equipment is approximately $12,000 and will be financed with bond funds. The Administration recommended authorization to advertise for bids. Councilman Cannon moved to authorize the Administration to advertise for bids; Councilman Kimmons seconded the motion. The vote follows: 7 Ayes: Council members Lander, Kimmons, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Hutto and Cannon Mayor Gentry Nays: None Emergency Item - Authorize Emergency Repair of Sanitary Sewer Lines along the West Bank of Goose Creek Stream Mr. Ken Powers, City Engineer, explained that the problem area is in the vicinity of the Goose Creek Country Club. The trunk line of the sanitary sewer line which begins at Baker Road and follows Goose Creek through the Country Club and on to Garth Road is the line in question. Several bank failures have occurred along Goose Creek in the limits of the Country Club property. Due to the failures last weekend the city's 21" concrete sanitary sewer line is now exposed. Mr. Powers proposed to remedy the problem by having wooden pilings driven between the sanitary sewer and the creek and build a bulkhead to cement stabilize the sewer into the bank. The Harris County Flood Control District has been contacted to have work done on the creek itself since there are approximately twelve other failures in that area on both sides of the creek. Mayor Gentry inquired as to the reason for this problem since apparently there had been no work performed in the area to cause '. the formation to move. Councilman Lander suggested that perhaps the problem could be attributed to a dry summer. Mr. Powers stated that he was too inexperienced in this type problem to give an answer, but the Flood Control District had staff hydrologists to solve such problems. Mayor Gentry inquired if this emergency repair work would solve the problem. Mr. Powers responded that the work would stabilize the sanitary sewer. 6335 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - November 23, 1976 Councilman Cannon inquired as to what safeguards were in the specifications when the pipe was installed. or out that the blame could not be placed on the Mcontractoryorotheed Pipe since both banks are failing. The fault could lie with the design of the pipe installation. Mr. Powers explained that in some areas the pipe was placed quite near the bank for various "' reason; however, those areas were stabilized and placed on special bedding. In the problem area there was no special bedding, but the ground was compacted before the line was installed. This compacted area is still in place, the area that has failed is that between the pipe and the creek. Mr. Powers further explained that the proposed wooden pilings would be 12" in diameter and would be treated so that in indefinite life span could be expected. Mayor Gentry stated that he would like to pursue the idea of having a hydrologist to analyze the problems that are occurring in this vicinity. The Administration recommended that Council authorize the emergency repair of this line on an hourly cost basis. The total estimate is approximately $5,500. Councilman Kloesel moved to authorize the emergency repair of said sanitary sewer line; Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Lander, Kimmons, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Hutto and Cannon Mayor Gentry Nays: None 77 Committee Reports Councilwoman Wilbanks requested that the discussion of the Houston - Galveston Area Council as an aging agency be continued from the previous meeting. A decision has been made in Austin to appoint Houston as a second area aging agency. Baytown will now be included in that agency for any funding. There will be no link between Houston and H -GAC. Therefore, the appointments made previously to H -GAC will no longer be active in that capacity. Mayor Gentry stated that an assistant to Mayor Hofheinz had con- tacted him and asked him to appoint someone to represent him at a meeting with Houston. Since it was such a short notice, Mayor Gentry requested that Mr. Lanham send a staff person to the meeting. Dan Savage, Assistant City Manager, attended the meeting. The meeting was not an organizational meeting since Houston had not been formally appointed as a second area aging agency. At the meeting areas which could be of concern to the committee were discussed. Since the committee still desires the City of Baytown to send a representative, Mayor Gentry suggested that Mayor Hofheinz' assistant be contacted in that regard. He stated that the same criteria for selection of committee members would probably be used in this instance as in H -GAC; that is, a provided of services and a consumer of services. If Houston wants Mayor Gentry to make such appointments, he stated that he would have no objections to appointing the same persons that were previously appointed by Mrs. Wilbanks.
