City Manager's Report
Commissioner Fonteno - In response to the request of Council
that a meeting be scheduled with Commissioner Fonteno and repre-
sentatives of the Flood Control District, a meeting has been
scheduled for Wednesday, September 26, 1979 at 5:00 p.m. at City
Hall.
Councilman Philips suggested that the Administration agenda
the meeting and structure it so that the Council could make a
good strong coverage.
Mr. Lanham inquired if Council would like to talk about
drainage, as well as the road improvements that are to be financed
from county bond funds. Council suggested that the Baker Road
project be discussed, along with a comprehensive drainage study
and what budget items are being considered for this area.
Department of Water Resources - The Administration had met
with representatives of the Texas Department of Water Resources
regarding the possibility of federal funding to assist in re-
pairing or replacing the sanitary sewer system in Brownwood. The
Administration has received a letter from the Texas Department of
Water Resources indicating that the Step 1 work could be updated
90913 -2
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 13, 1979
to include the Brownwood area. Part of the Step 1 work would be
a facility plan which would need to investigate the most cost
effective method to provide needed sewer service to the area.
The environmental assessment would also require an amendment and
an environmental review. If it is determined to be feasible to
replace the system rather than repair it, the most cost effective
interceptor and collection system would be eligible for grant
participation. If it is determined that the useful life of the
interceptor and collector system does not justify the expenditure
of funds, there would be no participation for that portion. The
facility plan would have to have information regarding the
expected life of the system. If the Step 1 amendment is accom-
plished and approved, the existing Step 2 Grant could be amended
to include the design of the recommended facilities.
The letter also indicated that EPA had been contacted and
had no objections. Mr. Lanham felt that the letter is saying
that if it is determined that the Brownwood area is not to be
evacuated, the Texas Department of Water Resources is willing to
work with the City of Baytown in developing a plan for providing
adequate sewer service to the area and that it is very likely
that those improvements would be eligible for EPA funds.
In response to questions from Council, Air. Lanham explained
that a determination would need to be made concerning the evacua-
tion of Brownwood. Also, he pointed out that the letter indi-
cates that if the City would like to submit a request to amend
the Step 1 grant, that request will be considered. Whether money
will be allocated for drawing the plans and building the system
will depend on the results of the Step 1 study.
Council requested that an item be placed on the agenda con-
cerning Brownwood and also that an item be placed on the agenda
to consider amendment of the Step 1 grant.
Corps of Engineers - The Administration has received notifi-
cation from the Corps of Engineers of an application from Houston
Midstream located at 850 South Lynchburg Road, Baytown, Texas for
a permit to construct a wooden bulkhead dredge and drill. The
bulkhead would be approximately 465 feet in length and approxi-
mately 30,000 cubic yards of material will be dredged by clam -
bucket in an area covering approximately 300 yards. It gives the
location as Burnett Bay, adjacent to the ship channel. Air.
Lanham explained that the City has a right to ask for a hearing
on this if the Council makes their wishes known before the 27th
of September, 1979, and suggested that the Council request that
a public hearing be held. Council concurred.
Sliplining - Between Alabama and Utah Streets, 975 feet of
pipe has been pulled; ten service connections have been made.
Harris County Mayors and Councilmen's Association - The Ad-
ministration has received notice of the Harris County Mayors and
Councilmen's Association meeting next Thursday evening. Mr.
Lanham encouraged as many of the Council members as possible to
go because Representative Wayne Peveto is going to be the speaker.
He will discuss Senate Bill 621 and tax reform. The Administra-
tion will be in contact with Council members before that time to
determine how many Council members will be able to attend.
Questions and Comments Regarding the City Manager's Report
Councilman Kloesel felt that the Council needs to consider
asking the Corps of Engineers to fund a drainage study north of
Baytown if the Flood Control District cannot solve the problem
with their ditching efforts. He requested that an item be placed
on the next agenda in this regard.
Mr. Lanham suggested that the Administration write a letter
to the Corps of Engineers to determine if this is possible. Mr.
Lanham explained that the County is pursuing the possibility of
a county -wide drainage study. One of the reasons that the County
90913 -3
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 13, 1979
would like to do this is to attempt to get environmental clear-
ance on the entire plan.
In response to a question concerning Community Development
funds, Mr. Lanham explained that the City has provided HUD with
all information requested and some decision should be made in the
near future.
Councilman Cannon asked that the Administration contact the
railroad companies to determine what the plans are for signali-
zing Fayle Street, the downtown crossings, etc. As alternatives
to signalization, perhaps the City needs to consider reducing the
speed at which trains may travel through the City or provide
stricter enforcement for not providing the flagmen. He commented
that he would like to get a response from the railroad companies
very soon and then Council can take appropriate action.
Councilman Philips commented that along with that item,
train traffic is going to increase dramatically on Decker Drive
within the next six months because of the coal liquefaction plant
and suggested that safety devices be installed to prevent acci-
dents.
Councilman Johnson concurred that either more signalization
is needed at railroad crossings or stricter enforcement for not
providing flagmen.
Receive Board of Equalization Report
011ie Clevenger, Chairman of the Board of Equalization, was
present and stated that the Board of Equalization for 1979 held
public hearings on July 10, 1979, and August 2, 1979. After
hearing all the evidence presented by taxpayers at these hearings,
and after making minor adjustments, the Board accepted the Tax
Department valuations. The Board presented for the Council's
acceptance, an assessed value of $475,372,655 based on 50070 of
fair market value.
Councilman Kloesel moved to accept the 1979 Board of Equali-
zation Report; Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The
vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel,
Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Emergency Repairs by Sliplining the Sanitary Sewer Lines Between
Kentucky Street and Kansas Street
Councilman Kloesel explained that this is a problem that has
existed for some time and that he had requested an item in this
regard be placed on the agenda for emergency action. The Public
Works Department has worked on solving this problem but has been
unable to do so.
Councilman Kloesel requested that Council take emergency
action and authorize taking bids for sliplining the sanitary
sewer line between Kentucky Street and Kansas Street.
Mr. Lanham explained that the Administration has developed
a list of several sewer lines that need to be sliplined and the
particular line is included on that list. The Administration
would like to have the following lines added to the City's slip -
lining contract:
1. Alabama and Utah from Durain Ferry
Road to Kentucky;
2. Elm and Yupon from Riggs to West Main
Street;
90913 -4
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 13, 1979
3. Elm and Oak Street from Riggs to West
Main Street;
4. Burnett Drive and Holly from Hackberry
to Holly Drive;
5. Kentucky and Kansas from Florida to
Mississippi Street.
The Administration suggested that the Council approve a change
order adding all of these lines to the sliplining contract. This
request is in anticipation of Council approving the revenue
sharing budget that has funds included for sliplining. Mr.
Lanham explained that the contractor has agreed to the change
order, which would be to the City's advantage to avoid possible
increase in contract price if rebid.
Councilman Kloesel explained that sewer is backing up into
homes and causing damage to the inside.
Councilman Philips moved that the City go ahead and tend to
this problem; Councilman Kloesel seconded the motion.
Councilman Cannon inquired from where would the funds be
allocated to pay this project? Mr. Lanham responded that the
money will have to come from bond funds.
Councilman Philips amended his motion to include Item Nos.
1 and 5 to the present sliplining contract; Councilman Kloesel
seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel,
Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon

ORDINANCE NO. 2722
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 TO THE CONTRACT WITH
CHANNEL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. FOR THE 1979 SANITARY SEWER
LINE PROJECT IN THE CITY OF BAYTOWN.
Ordinance - Approving a Contract of Baytown Area Water Authority
for Construction of Water Transmission Line
Eleven bids were received for the construction of the water
transmission line for the Baytown Area Water Authority. A copy
of the bid tabulation is attached to the minutes as Attachment
"A." The Baytown Area Water Authority Board held a special
meeting on Thursday, September 13 to consider the bids. The
project was bid in two sections. Bid Form I included the line
along Thompson Road down Lynchburg -Cedar Bayou Road to North Main
to Barkuloo to the Southern Pacific Railroad and the 24 -inch line
along the railroad to Lobit Avenue. Bids could have been awarded
to one contractor or to separate contractors, but the determina-
tion has been made that the Baytown Area Water Authority will
save money by awarding the contract separately. The low bidder
on Bid Form I is Angleton General Mechanical for a bid of
$2,325,779.21. The low bidder on Bid Form II is BRH Company of
Houston for a bid in the amount of $1,197,213. The total of
these two bids is $3,522,992.21. The engineer's estimate was
$3,889,000. The Administration felt that the bids are very good.
The Baytown Area Water Authority Board recommended approval of
the ordinance awarding the contracts to these two bidders; the
Administration concurred.
In response to a question from Council, Mr. Lanham explained
that Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam has made inquiries concerning
the two contractors to find that work on other projects has been
satisfactory.

The City received two bids for the annual contract for City
Depository. The bid tabulation is attached to the Minutes as
Attachment "B." Currently, on $100,000 or above, the City is
being paid an interest rate of 6.550 on 30 - 89 day deposits;
6.600 for 90 - 179 days; and 6.65% for 180 days and over. For
deposits less than $100,000, the City is being paid 6.500. The
low bidder is the Texas National Bank of Baytown jointly with
First National Bank of Bellaire. All transactions will be con-
ducted with or through the Texas National Bank of Baytown. The
City's contract would be with the Texas National Bank of Baytown.
The Administration recommended approval of the ordinance awarding
the contract for City Depository to Texas National Bank of Baytown.

Ordinance - Authorizing the Sale of City -Owned Property in Airhart
Subdivision
Randy Strong, Assistant City Attorney, explained that one
bid was received for the sale of City -owned property in the
Airhart subdivision. The City acquired the property by foreclo-
sing on delinquent taxes. Total tax payments to the City and
other taxing jurisdictions is $3,442. A demolition assessment in
the amount of $650 also exists against the property. The only
bid was submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Guadalupe Cisneros in the
amount of $3,442 which was the minimum amount that could be bid.
The bid is for Lot 30 and the south half of Lot 31, Block 4 of
the Airhart Subdivision. This amount does not cover the demo-
lition assessment, but the purchaser of the property was not
willing to pay the demolition assessment. Informally, the
Assistant City Attorney had checked to determine the selling
price of property in that area and learned that the Cisneros were
willing to pay more than the estimated market value. The Admin-
istration recommended approval of the ordinance.
Councilman Philips moved to approve sale of the property;
Councilwoman Caffey seconded the motion. The vote follows:

ATTEST TO A DEED TRANSFERRING PROPERTY ON CHERRY STREET IN CON-
SIDERATION OF THE RECEIPT OF THE SALES PRICE OF THREE THOUSAND
FOUR HUNDRED FORTY -TWO AND N01100 ($3,442.00) DOLLARS.
Mr. Lanham explained that there are several pieces of
property that the City has taken for taxes. In many cases,
delinquent taxes and possibly other indebtedness against the
property are far in excess of what anyone would be willing to pay
for that property. Mr. Lanham inquired if Council had any ob-
jections to the Administration advertising some of these parcels
of property for sale, particularly if the City can get the other
taxing agencies to agree. In many cases, even if less than the
amount of delinquency is bid, it is to the community's advantage
to get that property back on the tax roll and get it in use.
Councilman Cannon commented that he would like to see the
City contact the abutting property owners, and Mayor Hutto
suggested that the City run a special ad in the newspaper to call
attention to the sale.
Mr. Lanham explained that approval from the other taxing
agencies must be obtained prior to institution of this procedure.
Council had no objection.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 13, 1979
Ordinance - Establishing a Code of Ethics of City Officials,
Employees, and Council Members
Councilman Ted Kloesel asked that this item be placed on the
agenda. A copy of the document that Councilman Philips presented
as a possible alternative was put at the Council table. Due to
the length of the last agenda, action on this item was postponed
until this meeting. Councilman Philips explained that the
approach he had taken on this was to prepare a statement that
embodies conflict of interest to be read and signed by)all.
officials, employees, Council members, and Board or Commission
members of the City. There would be no penalty, fine, or court
sentence involved. Councilman Philips invited comments from
other Council members.
Mayor Hutto felt that the City Charter is explicit on what
a conflict of interest is.
Councilman Kloesel felt that it is not fully understood by
all of the officers and the employees of the City. Councilman
Philips inquired if the City Charter requires those persons to
make a statement that they understand it and are in compliance.
Mr. Lanham explained that the City Charter does not do that.
Councilman Cannon felt that the City Charter is specific
enough for Council members. If the Council feels that there is
a conflict with employees, the matter should be brought to the
City Manager's attention for appropriate action.
Councilman Kloesel stated that Council's big function is
policy- making. At the present time, the City does not have a
policy on Code of Ethics. The Council does not have a policy
that would really cover the problems that are involved with the
conflict of interest and a business code of ethics or ethics
policy. Councilman Kloesel further stated a policy is needed
that is written so that everyone can understand what Council's
position is.
Councilman Kloesel moved that the conflict of interest and
business ethics policy proposed by Councilman Philips be adopted
by the Council in lieu of the proposed ordinance; Councilman
Philips seconded the motion subject to some scrutiny by the City
Attorney to "square up" the language.
Councilman Johnson inquired if Council will be trying to
legislate morals.
Councilman Cannon felt that the Council will be infringing
on people's rights, unless it impairs job performance.
Councilman Philips pointed out that in a sense, the proposed
policy is not bringing up anything new. It is saying that a
person has read the charter and understands the charter. The
policy could be rephrased to state as covered in the charter, do
you understand that it is a conflict of interest to have employ-
ment which is countered to the best interest of the city.
Mayor Hutto stated that he understood what Councilmen
Kloesel and Philips were trying to do, but he felt that the City
has the mechanics in the City Charter and within the Administra-
tion to resolve problems of conflicts of interest as far as City
employees are concerned.
Councilman Philips impressed upon Council that what-he was
attempting to do was to present an alternative to the proposed
ordinance which would be less punitive, and that would merely
call to the attention of certain higher level people, both
employees and non - employees, that there is existing an ethics and
conflict of interest, and ask would you please sign a piece of
paper stating that you are aware of it with no punitive action or
anything of that nature to be involved.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 13, 1979
Councilwoman Wilbanks expressed the view that the document
presented needed to be rephrased by the City Attorney prior to
Council action or a vote at the present time would reflect her
attitude toward the concept, as presented in present form.
Councilman Philips agreed and requested that the City Attor-
ney take the intent of the proposed policy and square it up with
the Charter so that in a basic sense, the Council would be taking
those charter provisions and spelling them out in such a way that
when the City wanted to call that to a certain person's atten-
tion, the city could do so and they could respond by saying,
"Yes, I understand." Councilman Philips inquired if he could
make a motion to that effect.
Councilman Cannon felt that this would take a great deal of
the City Attorney's time and he personally did not feel that the
attorney's time should be expended in this manner. The vote
follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips and Kloesel
Nays: Council members Johnson, Wilbanks, Caffey and
Cannon

Resolution No. 697 - Designating the Appraisal District in Which
the City of Baytown Will Participate
This had been discussed at the last meeting, and the Mayor
appointed a three member committee of the Council to meet with
the School Board to discuss the action that that entity might
take with regard to whether Baytown should be in Harris or
Chambers County appraisal district. If no action is taken, the
City will be split into two appraisal districts along the county
boundary lines. Action must be taken tonight if the Council
chooses to join either the Harris County District or the Chambers
County District. All of the property within the city limits
would be placed in one of those districts. Mr. Lanham explained
that the feeling at that meeting was that no action should be
taken and that way, the City will be split along the county
lines. There is the option of joining one of the county dis-
tricts at a later date. If Council takes no action, the City
will have until October 3, 1981, to finally decide which ap-
praisal district that Baytown wishes to join. The Administra-
tion's recommendation at this point is that no action be taken.
Councilman Cannon stated that the committee of Council mem-
bers had a very good meeting with the School Board and the Board
of Regents. Councilman Cannon stated that if the City makes a
decision to go one way or the other, the City is committed to
stay with that county. By waiting until October 3, 1981, the
City Council can then make a final determination.
Mr. Lanham explained that the City Council can participate
in the selection of board members in both counties. However, the
City's vote in Chambers County will be very small because at the
present time, the vote in Chambers County would be based on the
assessed value for tax purposes. Mr. Bounds explained that the
bulk of Baytown's vote would be in Harris County because it is
based on population. Council took no action.
Ordinance - Awarding Annual Contract for Purchase of Concrete to

Consider Authorizing Advertising for Bids for Reroofing of
Municipal Service Center with Polyurethane Foam
The Municipal Service Center is a metallic building with a
metal roof which is not very energy efficient. The Administra-
tion requested permission to take bids to seal the roof with
polyurethane foam. Bids would be taken and the Administration
would come back to Council with a recommendation.
Councilman Philips inquired as to how the foam would be
applied. Norman Dykes, City Engineer and Director of Public
Works, explained that it would be sprayed on the outside of the
existing roof and explained that several people have done this to
metal buildings which has helped insulation.
Councilwoman Wilbanks inquired if this particular building
would have been included in the energy study that Council had
talked about a few weeks ago. Mr. Lanham explained that it would
be included in that study, but the Administration has not received
any encouragement that the City is going to receive the grant.
Ed Shackelford, Office Engineer, explained that the City is
having difficulty locating someone who would audit the building
for a reasonable price.
Councilman Philips inquired if the Administration has con-
sidered blowing some more insulation in the roof as an alterna-
tive and suggested that the polyurethane will probably last a
certain length of time. Councilman Philips requested that an
alternate of blowing mineral wool in the roof and see if that
will give some relief. He asked that the cost effectiveness and
particularly the maintenance life of the polyurethane be con-
sidered.
Mr. Lanham commented that the Administration can investigate
this and will come back to Council at the next meeting with cost
estimates.
Councilman Cannon stated there is a builder in Pinehurst who
is using polyurethane in the walls, and it seems to be very
efficient.
Councilman Philips commented that he would like to see the
City do this right in order to assure the finished product would
be effective in both summer and winter.
Consider Request from Mary McFarland for Water Service Outside
City Limits
Council received a copy of a letter from 'Mary McFarland re-
questing water service to a home that she owns outside the city
limits across the Harris County Flood Control Ditch from Bud
Lane. This is west of the Sports Complex. Mrs. McFarland owns
several homes in this vicinity. Council has already granted per-
