1979 09 13 CC Minutes90913 -1 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN September 13, 1979 The City Council of the City of Baytown, Texas, met in regular session on Thursday, September 13, 1979, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber of the Baytown City Hall. The following members were in attendance: Fred T. Philips Jimmy Johnson Ted Kloesel Mary E. Wilbanks Eileen Caffey Allen Cannon Emmett 0. Hutto Fritz Lanham Dan Savage Scott Bounds Eileen P. Hall Councilman Councilman Councilman Councilwoman Councilwoman Councilman Mayor City Manager Assistant City Manager City Attorney City Clerk Mayor Hutto called the meeting to order and the invocation was offered by Councilman Allen Cannon. Minutes Councilwoman Wilbanks moved for approval of the minutes of the regular meeting of August 23, 1979, and the special meetings of August 27 and September 4, 1979; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None Receive Petitions None. 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 Mayor Hutto Nays: None 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. i iW 90913 -5 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 13, 1979 Councilwoman Wilbanks moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilwoman Caffey seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 2723 AN ORDINANCE APPROVING CONTRACTS BETWEEN ANGLETON GENERAL MECHAN- ICAL, INC. AND THE BAYTOWN AREA WATER AUTHORITY AND BETWEEN BRH COMPANY AND THE BAYTOWN AREA WATER AUTHORITY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A WATER TRANSMISSION LINE. Mr. Lanham explained that it will take approximately 270 calendar days to complete the water transmission lines. Ordinance - Authorizing an Agreement with Baytown Ambulance Company, Inc. Regarding Maintenance and Repair of Radio Equipment by that Company The City has an agreement with the Baytown Ambulance Company regarding the maintenance and repair of radio equipment. Under the terms of this agreement, the ambulance company leases three radios to the City. This enables these radios to be licensed under the City's public works' frequency. The City makes a token payment of $1.00 per year for the leasing of this equipment. The proposed ordinance authorizes renewal of this agreement and extends it until April 30, 1983. This is the duration of the existing contract for ambulance service with Baytown Ambulance Company. The Administration recommended approval of the ordi- nance. Councilman Philips moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Kloesel seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 2724 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN TO EXECUTE AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST TO A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH BAYTOWN AMBULANCE COMPANY, INC. AND PRO- VIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Ordinance - Awarding Bid for City Depository 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. Councilman Johnson moved to adopt the ordinance selecting the City Depository and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute and attest to a contract with the selected depository and providing for the effective date hereafter; Councilman Kloesel seconded the motion. The vote follows: 90913 -6 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 13, 1979 Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 2725 AN ORDINANCE SELECTING A CITY DEPOSITORY; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AND ATTEST TO A CONTRACT WITH THE SELECTED DEPOSITORY; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. 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: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 2726 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AND 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. 90913 -7 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. 90913 -8 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 Mayor Hutto 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 be Delivered One bid was received for the delivery of ready mix concrete. The bid tabulation is attached to the Minutes as Attachment "C." Gifford -Hill submitted the only bid price of $40.95 per yard. Four companies were mailed bids. These companies were contacted by telephone prior to the bid opening and encouraged to bid. The previous bid price was $38.20. The Administration recommended approval of the ordinance. 90913 -9 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 13, 1979 Councilwoman Wilbanks moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 2727 AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING THE BID OF GIFFORD -HILL CONCRETE FOR THE PURCHASE OF ESTIMATED QUANTITIES OF READY MIX CONCRETE ON A UNIT PRICE BASIS TO BE DELIVERED, WITH THE COMPENSATION TO BE PAID TO BE BASED UPON THE ACTUAL QUANTITIES SUPPLIED. Ordinance - Awarding Annual Contract for Purchase of Concrete from Plant Site Two bids were received for the annual purchase of concrete at plant site. The bid tabulation is attached to the Minutes as Attachment "D." D & V Concrete, Inc. submitted the low bid in the amount of $49.95 per yard. The Administration recommended approval of the ordinance. Councilman Kloesel moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 2728 AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING THE BID OF D & V CONCRETE, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE OF ESTIMATED QUANTITIES OF READY MIX CONCRETE ON A UNIT PRICE BASIS, WITH THE COMPENSATION TO BE PAID TO BE BASED UPON THE ACTUAL QUANTITIES SUPPLIED. Ordinance - Awarding Annual Contract for Purchase of Liquid Chlorine Two bids were received for the purchase of the estimated annual supply of liquid chlorine. The bid tabulation is attached to the Minutes as Attachment "E." Jones Chemical, Inc. is the low bidder for the one ton cylinder and Dixie Chemical Company is the low bidder for the 150 -1b. cylinders. Mr. Lanham explained that Jones Chemical Company gave the City a firm price for one year and the other did not. The Administration recommended approval of the low bidders. Councilman Kloesel moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 2729 AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING THE BIDS OF JONES CHEMICALS, INC. AND DIXIE CHEMICAL COMPANY FOR THE PURCHASE OF ESTIMATED QUANTITIES OF LIQUID CHLORINE ON A UNIT PRICE BASIS, WITH THE COMPENSATION TO BE PAID TO BE BASED UPON THE ACTUAL QUANTITIES SUPPLIED. 90913 -10 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 13, 1979 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- mission for water service to one of these homes. The Administra- tion recommended approval of Mrs. McFarland's request. Councilman Johnson moved to approve the request of Mrs. McFarland; Councilman Kloesel seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Kloesel, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None 90913 -11 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 13, 1979 Consider Request for Designation of Parking Lot at 2301 Decker Drive as Temporary Landing Field for Helicopters The Highway Committee of the Greater Baytown Chamber of Commerce has requested that the parking lot of the Ramada Inn at 2301 Decker Drive be designated as a temporary landing field for helicopters for the upcoming visit of the members of the Texas Highway Commission. The Administration recommended approval of the request. Councilman Philips moved to approve the request; Council- woman Wilbanks seconded the motion.
