City Manager's Report
Postal Service - Council was reminded of the public
meeting that Congressman Jack Fields will be conducting
regarding postal service in Congressional District No. 8.
Mayor Hutto will represent the City of Baytown. The meeting
will be held in the Jacinto City City Hall which is located
on Market Street Road at the corner of Mercury and Market
Street Road.
Baker Road - Harris County received bids today on the
Baker Road Project and the apparent low bidder is Durwood
Green Company for the amount of $6,874,000 which is over
$1,000,000 below the estimate.
Presidential Budget Cuts - The City of Baytown could be
affected by a number of the proposed presidential budget cuts.
The area in which Baytown will be most affected would be sewer
system grants. Council was given two sheets from a letter
dated January 23 from the Texas Department of Water Resources
10226 -2
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981
which lists projects which have received preliminary approval
and Baytown is listed with five projects. Brownwood and the
long range improvements to the Central and East Districts are
included in these projects. The total amount represented is
in excess of $18,000,000.
Step 2 for Brownwood which consists of the plans is not
listed; therefore, the Administration feels that this has
already been funded.
The West District work which Council will be awarding
bids on later in the meeting should not be affected since
those are included under 1980 funding; however, everything
included under 1981 funding will undergo scrutiny.
Houston Lighting and Power - Fuel adjustment for the
month of March for Houston Lighting and Power increased from
$24.49 to $29.03 for the user of 1,000 KWH. This will result
in an increased bill for the user of 1,000 KWH from $50.11
to $54.83.
Drainage - City crews have completed approximately 75%
of the work on Marvin Road; 30% of the work on Craigmont
Boulevard; 7576 of the work on East Ward /Kilgore Road Project.
Harris County Flood Control District is involved in the
improvement to the ditch north of Massey Tompkins Road in
the vicinity of the new school which is located on Barkuloo.
The first phase of work has been completed and the second
phase is now being constructed.
The City is replacing a six (6) inch water line on Oak-
wood Street. There have been several breaks in this line
over several months. The work on the line has been completed
with the exception of testing and cleanup. The crew will
then replace a two (2) inch cast iron line where there have
been a number of breaks.
East District Sewer Line - The contractor on the East
District Sewer Line has completed laying the gravity and
force lines. Cleanup is in progress and all the work in-
cluding cleanup should be completed in approximately two
weeks. The lift station contractor has completed most of
the structural work and delivery of mechanical equipment
is expected in June.
Consider Proposed Resolution No. 759, Commending the Baytown
Police Chaplain Corps
Councilman Cannon stated that he had requested that this
item be placed on the agenda for consideration. He mentioned
that the Police Chaplain Corps had been formed a little over
one year ago and had been a great aid to the citizenry, as
well as the officers. Reverend Cook was asked to introduce
the members of the Chaplain's Corps present. Councilman
Cannon read Proposed Resolution No. 759, commending the
Baytown Police Chaplain Corps and moved for adoption of the
resolution; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote

RESOLUTION NO. 759
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN
COMMENDING THE BAYTOWN POLICE CHAPLAIN CORPS.
Greg Brittian, Antenna Maintenance, Inc. Will Appear
Greg Brittian, President of Antenna Maintenance, Inc.
appeared to request that Council consider another franchise
to operate cable television service in Baytown. He felt
that this would provide a competitiveness that would lend
itself to more efficient cable service for Baytown.
Council explained to Mr. Brittian that at present Coun-
cil is in the process of adopting a franchise agreement which
is a non - exclusive. Therefore, if Mr. Brittian would like
to work up a proposal which would establish certain facts
about his operation for instance financial support and just
what he intends to provide with regard to service, Council
would have no problem with considering another proposal.
Mr. Brittian was informed that the company presently being
considered for franchise agreement has posted $250,000 bond
to insure its proposal.
*Councilman Simmons present.
Hold Hearing on Proposed Annexation of 5.574 Acres at the
Northwest Corner of Bush and Baker Roads (Cedar Ridge)
at 7:00 p.m.
Mayor Hutto called to order the public hearing on
proposed annexation of 5.574 acres at the northwest corner
of Bush and Baker Roads (Cedar Ridge). Everyone desiring
to be heard at the hearing was given an opportunity to
register on the list provided.
Fritz Lanham, City Manager, explained that the owner
of this property requested annexation. The owner plans to
build apartments at this location. With this annexation,
the city's boundary limits will square at this particular
location.
Since no one present indicated a desire to speak, Mayor
Hutto declared the public hearing closed.
Consider Proposed Resolution No. 758, Changing the Name of
Oak Street Between Riggs and Gentry to Martin Luther King
Street
Council was presented with a copy of a petition which
had been signed by 50 citizens of Baytown requesting that
the name of Oak Street be changed to Martin Luther King
Street. The resolution that has been prepared would imple-
ment such a change for that portion of Oak between Riggs and
Gentry Drive.
Councilman Philips moved for adoption of the resolution;
Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows:

Councilman Johnson commented that this is certainly an
appropriate time to do this, since this is "Black History
Week." The resolution will take effect within 10 days of
passage.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Second Reading on Proposed
Franchise Agreement with Teleprompter, Inc. for Cable
Television Service
The proposed franchise agreement was adopted on first
reading at the February 12, 1981, meeting. By Charter,
the ordinance adopting franchise must be read at three
separate meetings of Council and at least 30 days must pass
between the first and third reading. The Administration
recommended adoption of the ordinance on second reading.

The proposed ordinance authorizes an agreement with
Harris County for continued bookmobile service in the city
limits and in certain unincorporated areas of the county on
10226 -5
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981
the same basis that it has existed for the past several years.
The new contract would begin on March 1 and includes a 15%
increase over the 1980 contract amount. The total that the
city would be paid under this contract is $19,550. The Admin-
istration recommended approval of the contract.
Councilwoman Caffey moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion.
In response to a question from Council, Mrs. Wilhite,
City Librarian, explained that a monthly report is generated
for the city's use; therefore, there is no problem with
furnishing the county with a copy of that report.
Councilman Philips inquired if the city is to provide
no increased service, why the contract stipulates that the
City of Baytown will provide no fewer than twenty -five (25)
additional hours of service per week?
Mrs. Wilhite explained that the contract is a standard
contract which has been utilized since 1974. At one time,
the city attempted to alter the wording which the County
Attorney's office took exception to; therefore, since that
time the contract has never been altered in any manner.
The county understands that the city is agreeing to provide
25 hours over and above that which would be provided should
no contract exist.
Mr. Lanham informed Council that the Commissioner's
Court had acted on this agreement and money had been included
in the budget for this service.
Councilwoman Wilbanks pointed out that the contract
specifies the areas and institutions to be served.
Council concurred with Councilman Philips that the
wording of the contract is vague and should be changed prior
to being presented to Council next year. Council felt to
avoid any delays in service, the contract could be approved
as presented. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon

ORDINANCE NO. 3088

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Contract for West
District Wastewater Treatment Plant and Lakewood Lift
Station
On February 19, 1981, bids were received at City
Hall for the construction of West District Wastewater
Treatment Plant and Lakewood Lift Station, Job No. 044 -15,
Contract No. 1, EPA Project No. C -48 -1151. Eight bids
were received. The low bidder is Nunn & Shumway Construction
Company, Houston, Texas, for the amount of $3,465,436.25
with the completion time of 540 calendar days.
10226 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981
The engineers reviewed the bid documents and bond
accompanying the low bid and all were found to be in order.
Therefore, contingent upon U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency approval, and availability of necessary funds, the
consulting engineers recommended that the project entitled
"Construction of West District Wastewater Treatment Plant
and Lakewood Lift Station" be awarded to Nunn & Shumway
Construction Company Inc., Houston, Texas, on the basis of
their low bid of $3,465,436.25 with the completion time of
540 calendar days.
The local share of the costs of this project will be
approximately $866,000 - -25% of the total cost. There is
$477,000 remaining in the 1970 Bond Fund that was earmarked
for the West District Sewerage Treatment Plant and Council
appropriated $325,000 revenue sharing funds toward the West
District; therefore, approximately $64,000 could be acquired
from next year's revenue sharing funds. With 540 calendar
days, it will be several months before it will be necessary
to have the $64,000 available. The Administration concurred
with the consulting engineers' recommendation.
Councilman Cannon moved to adopt the ordinance awarding
the contract for construction of the West District Waste-
water Treatment Plant and Lakewood Lift Station to Nunn &
Shumway Construction Company, Inc.; Councilman Johnson
seconded the motion.
Mr. Lanham mentioned that additional bids will be
received later for the force main and gravity sewer from
the Lakewood Lift Station to the new plant, plus the
rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer collection system
within the West District. Probably it will be toward the
end of 1981 before bids are received for this work.
In response to an inquiry from Council, Randy. Strong,
City Attorney, explained that Section 2 of the ordinance
tracts state law and that the City Manager is only authorized
to approve any change order involving a decrease or an increase
in cost to $5,000 and anything above that up to twenty -five
(2570) would need to be approved by City Council. This provision
of the law allows Council to add to the project up to twenty -
five (2570) without having to rebid. The vote follows:

Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon
Mayor Hutto

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Contract on Street and
Drainage Improvements to Cherry and Pine Street
On February 19, nine bids were received for street and
drainage improvements to Cherry and Pine Streets. The engi-
neering department of the city prepared plans and specifi-
cations and bid the project. The base bid was for concrete
streets with curb and gutter, sidewalks and storm sewers. The
alternate bid includes the replacement of water lines and
house connections on Cherry and Pine Streets. This was not
done on Cedar Street and once work begun, water lines had
to be replaced; therefore, the work had to be performed by
city forces. The low bid with the alternate is Angel Equip-
ment Company for the amount of $334,818.50. There is $350,000
available for the project. The Administration recommended that
the contract be awarded to Angel Equipment Company, including
the alternate.
Councilman Simmons moved to adopt the ordinance; Council-
man Philips seconded the motion.
Angel Equipment Company has been in business in Baytown
for several years. Billy Angel is the owner of the company
and the company has performed work similar to this in the
past.
Councilman Johnson made reference to a news article
which indicated that some contractors find it simplier to
cut through telephone lines rather than making other arrange-
ments and stated that he would certainly hope that no contractor
for the City of Baytown would use such practice. The vote

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Participation in
Study for General Telephone Rate Case
The City Attorney stated that he had communicated with
the General Counsel for the Public Utilities Commission
concerning investigation into General Telephone Company
service and had inquired if they would be interested in
conducting a hearing in Baytown. The Public Utilities
Commission General Counsel staff is not large enough to
conduct hearings throughout the service area. They are
encouraging groups to hold hearings and send transcripts to
the staff. On March 12, a regional hearing will be conducted
in League City regarding General Telephone Company service.
A transcript will be made of that hearing; therefore, anyone
who desires to participate should be encouraged to attend
that hearing. There will be separate hearings in Austin
on the requested rate increase which citizens may attend.
The proposed ordinance will authorize the city's partici-
pation in intervention by Texas Municipal League and various
cities in the General Telephone rate case before the Public
Utilities Commission. The cost for the City of Baytown's
share is $8,393.55. The Administration recommended approval
of the ordinance.

Councilwoman Caffey seconded the motion. The vote follows:

REGARDING GENERAL TELEPHONE COMPANY'S REQUEST FOR RATE INCREASE
AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.
Mr. Lanham informed Council that a regional meeting is
scheduled for March 12 at the League City Civic Center from
6:00 - 10:00 p.m. for public comment relative to service and
the proposed rate increase.
In response to Council's inquiry whether Dan Jackson,
Assistant City Attorney, would attend this meeting, the City
Attorney explained that the purpose of the hearing is to receive
comments from consumers. The City of Baytown is already active
in the suit and Baytown is on the steering committee for rate
intervention. Citizens should be encouraged to participate at
the hearing to register complaints so that those complaints will
be forwarded to the Public Utilities Commission. However, if
Council desires Mr. Jackson can certainly attend.

Consider Approval of Baytown Area Water Authority Resolution
Authorizing the General Manager to Seek Amendments Through
Legislative Means to the Special Legislation Creating the
Baytown Area Water Authority Specifically Section 5,B(1)
and 5 C of House Bill 967
When the legislation creating the Baytown Area Water
Authority was passed, it provided that any governmental entity
that purchased water from the Authority had to have an elec-
tion. In the case of Baytown, it was important that an
election be held because Baytown was guaranteeing the bonds
of the Authority. Other potential customers that the Author-
ity might sell to are not making that guarantee. They are
agreeing to buy water for a set fee. The proposed amendment
eliminates the requirement that another entity hold an
election; however, that option would be open if such entity
found that to be desirable. The BAWA Board recommended
approval of the amendment and the Administration concurred
in that recommendation.
In response to a question from Council, the City Attorney
explained that in negotiating the various contracts for sale
of water, the determination would be made as to who is to
build transmission lines.
Councilwoman Wilbanks moved for adoption of the proposed
BAWA resolution; Councilman Cannon seconded the motion. The

Consider Proposed Resolution No. 760, Authorizing Application
for 1981 Community Development Block Grant Funds
The Community Development Advisory Committee held various
hearings for recommendation of allocation for 1981 Community
Development Block Grant funds which total $665,000. A total
of $450,000 will be utilized toward streets and drainage
improvements. The funds would be expended in Airhart Addition
and Oak Addition.
In response to an inquiry from Council regarding the pos-
sible use of Community Development funds for refurbishing
downtown Mr. Lanham stated that there are Urban Development
Action Grants which are to be consolidated with the Community
Development Program and at this point, it is not clear how
that will be implemented or whether this will produce more
funding or less funding.
Councilman Philips requested that the Administration keep
on alert regarding possible funding to refurbish the downtown
area.
Jerry Fletcher, Community Development Coordinator,
explained that changes may be made in the suggested programs
up to ten (10 %) percent. Anything above that would require
an amended application. The Administration recommended
approval of the resolution.
Councilman Philips moved for adoption of the resolution;
Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon
Mayor Hutto

With regard to demolition monies, there is $25,000

Consider Plans for 1981 Street Improvement Program and
Authorize Advertisement for Bids
Council approved a list of streets to be included in
the 1981 Street Improvement Program. The engineering
department prepared plans which with Council approval will
be bid and returned to Council for award the second meeting
in March.
A large core sample was taken of an existing street
that is to be reconstructed. The top layer will consist
of 1� inches asphalt and the bottom layer will consist of
8 inches cement stabilized material. No sampling was taken
of streets that are to be overlayed since the base is in
good condition. Funds are available in the street budget
to cover the estimated cost of $388,000. The Administration
recommended approval of the plans and authorization to advertise
for bids.

Consider Participation on Oversized Water and Sanitary Sewer
Lines on Raccoon Drive
The location where these lines are to be constructed is
in the Raccoon Drive, Kings Bend, Whispering Pines area.
There is a developer who plans to establish a subdivision off
Raccoon Drive. He plans to lay the water and sewer lines down
Raccoon Drive to the existing city facilities. The developer's
plans are to lay a 10 -inch sanitary sewer line and tie into a
manhole near the new lift station that is part of the East
District Project. The East District Project which is approxi-
mately seventy -five (75 %) percent complete was designed to
take care of a service area up to Lynchburg Cedar Bayou Road. The
Administration would like to participate in the construction
of a 15 -inch sized line that will be 15 -feet deep rather than
10 -feet deep. The estimated cost to the city will be $23,800.
This would save the city many dollars later, plus this will
avoid the duplication of lines. The Administration would
like for the city to advertise for bids for the sewer line -
both the 10 -inch and 15 -inch to determine what kind of bids
will be received. After receipt of bids, a determination
can be made as to the costs and if the city would like to
participate in construction of an oversized line.
The developer plans to lay an 8 -inch water line up
Raccoon to the development. At present, there is no water
line located there. Presently, the Kings Bend, Whispering
Pines area is on a dead -end water system feeding from the
south. At Sjolander, west of the railroad, there is a section
of 12 -inch line that was just laid that came off the BAWA line
at Barkuloo Road and went to the new Gentry School and the
stadium. The plan is to connect that 12 -inch line east from
Sjolander to Raccoon and down Raccoon to Kings Bend. This
would provide a looped system for Kings Bend, Whispering Pines
area, as well as a loop in the reverse to the future develop-
ment northward, including the school and stadium. The Admin-
istration would like the city to take bids on the proposed
12 -inch line that the city will ultimately need and the 8 -inch
line the developer is willing to install to determine the
difference in cost to install the larger line. This is only
about a 1700 foot section of line, both water and sewer, but
this is 1700 feet that the city would not have to duplicate
later. Estimated cost for increasing both lines is $37,200
to take care of the above described service area.
Possible source of funds for this would be from the
revenue sharing funds since $50,000 in revenue sharing is
unappropriated.
Councilman Johnson moved to authorize the Administration
to receive bids as recommended to allow the city the option
of participation in oversized water and sanitary sewer line
to the Raccoon Drive area; Councilman Philips seconded the
motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon

10226 -14
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981
Councilman Cannon mentioned that he had read an article
having to do with emergency vehicles and insurance coverage
and he inquired if the city's firemen and policemen for both
non - emergency and emergency traffic situations are covered
by the city's insurance with regard to personal liability?
The Administration will look into the details of just what
coverage is provided and report to Council.
Welders are working tonight and if all goes well the
BAWA line should be ready for testing tomorrow. At the
Decker Drive portion, 22 joints have been welded and 10 near
the plant.
Councilman Philips stated that he had received a couple
of calls recently from persons who are concerned with businesses
who are established as antique dealers who are actually selling
worthless items as antiques as well as displaying these items
in such a manner as to cause the neighborhood to decline. The
Administration is checking into the possibility of an ordinance
to regulate this type business.
The city has received the money from the sale of property
at 514 East Texas Avenue.
There being no further business to be transacted, the
meeting was adjourned.
