Philips Councilman Jimmy Johnson Councilman *Perry M. Simmons Councilman Mary E. Wilbanks Councilwoman Eileen Caffey Councilwoman Allen Cannon Councilman Emmett 0. Hutto Mayor Fritz Lanham City Manager Randy Strong City Attorney Eileen P. Hall City Clerk Absent: Dan Savage Assistant City Manager The meeting was called to order with a quorum present and the invocation was offered by Reverend Mack Cook. Minutes Councilman Philips moved for approval of the minutes of the February 12, 1981 meeting; Councilwoman Caffey seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None Petitions None. 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 follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Wilbanks, Caf fey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None 10226 -3 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981 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: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None 10226 -4 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981 RESOLUTION NO. 758 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, CHANGING THE NAME OF OAK STREET FROM GENTRY STREET TO RIGGS STREET LOCATED IN OAKWOOD SUBDIVISION, TO MARTIN LUTHER KING STREET AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. 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. Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Philips seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3074 AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO SOUTHWEST VIDEO CORPORATION, INC., (WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF TELEPROMPTER CORPOR- ATION) THE RIGHT, PRIVILEGE AND FRANCHISE TO CONDUCT WITHIN THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, A CABLE SIGNAL DIS- TRIBUTION SYSTEM AND BUSINESS FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPERA- TING A RADIO AND TELEVISION SIGNAL SYSTEM TO RECEIVE, AMPLIFY AND DISTRIBUTE TELEVISION AND RADIO SIGNALS AND TO ENTER UPON, ERECT, CONSTRUCT, MAINTAIN, EXTEND, RE- PAIR, REPLACE AND REMOVE IN, UNDER, UPON, WITHIN, OVER, ABOVE, ACROSS AND ALONG ANY AND ALL OF THE PRESENT AND FUTURE PUBLIC ROADS, HIGHWAYS, STREETS, LANES AND ALLEYS OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN A SYSTEM OF POLE LINES, POLES, FACILITIES AND APPURTENANCES NECESSARY FOR RECEIVING, ORIGINATING, RELAYING AND DISTRIBUTING AUDIO AND VIDEO SIGNALS AND AUDIO AND TELEVISION ENERGY TO SUBSCRIBERS LOCATED IN AND ABOUT THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AS NOW EXISTING, OR AS SAID CITY LIMITS MAY HEREINAFTER BE EXTENDED; PRESCRIBING THE CONDITIONS GOVERNING THE OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM INSOFAR AS IT AFFECTS THE USE OF PUBLIC PROPERTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH SYSTEM, PRESCRIBING RULES AND REGULATIONS GENERALLY FOR THE OPERATION OF SUCH SYSTEM UNDER THIS FRANCHISE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS FRANCHISE BY THE COMPANY. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing an Agreement with Harris County for Bookmobile Service 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 Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3088 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN TO EXECUTE AND ATTEST TO A CONTRACT WITH HARRIS COUNTY WITH REGARD TO PROVIDING EX- PANDED BOOKMOBILE PROGRAMS WITHIN BAYTOWN AND IN UNINCOR- PORATED AREAS IN THE COUNTY AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFEC- TIVE DATE HEREOF. 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: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3089 AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING THE BID OF NUNN & SHUMWAY CON- STRUCTION CO., FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF WEST DISTRICT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND LAKEWOOD LIFT STATION AND AUTHORIZING THE CONTRACTING OF INDEBTEDNESS BY THE CITY FOR THE SUM OF THREE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX & 25/100 ($3,465,436.25) DOLLARS WITH REGARD TO SUCH CONTRACT. The bids in order from low to high with the total amount of each base bid, (eligible items & supplementary items) plus non - eligible items along with pre- determined calendar days are as follows: 10226 -7 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981 BIDDER AMOUNT BID CALENDAR DAYS Nunn & Shumway Construction Co. Houston, Texas $3,465,436.25 540 Basic Construction Co. Houston, Texas $3,543,775.00 540 Lem Construction Co. Stafford, Texas $3,572,060.00 540 Permian Construction Co. Katy, Texas $3,770,925.00 540 Chisholm Trail Construction Co. Pasadena, Texas $3,929,055.00 540 E. B. L. Inc. Houston, Texas $3,949,980.00 540 Jalco, Inc. Houston, Texas $4,118,890.00 540 Baytown Construction Co. Port Arthur, Texas $5,513,975.00 540 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 follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None 10226 -8 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981 ORDINANCE NO. 3090 AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING THE BID OF ANGEL EQUIPMENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STREET AND DRAINAGE IMRPOVEMENTS TO CHERRY AND PINE STREETS (1981 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM) AND AUTHORIZING THE CONTRACTING OF INDEBTEDNESS BY THE CITY FOR THE SUM OF THREE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTEEN & 50 /100 ($334,818.50) DOLLARS WITH REGARD TO SUCH AGREEMENT. For bid tabulation, see Attachment "A." 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 Wilbanks moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilwoman Caffey seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3091 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXPEND EIGHT THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED NINETY THREE & 55/100 ($8,393.55) DOLLARS AS THE CITY'S COST OF INTERVENTION BEFORE THE TEXAS PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION 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. 10226 -9 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981 Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Bid for Purchase of One 6 -Yard Dump Truck Four bids were received for the purchase of one 6 -yard dump truck. The low bid that meets specifications was sub- mitted by Joe Camp Ford for the amount of $20,484.21. The Administration recommended approval of the low bidder that meets specifications. Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Philips seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3092 AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING THE BID OF JOE CAMP FORD, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE OF ONE (1) SIX YARD DUMP TRUCK AND AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT BY THE CITY OF BAYTOWN OF THE SUM OF TWENTY THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY FOUR & 21/100 ($20,484.21) DOLLARS. For bid tabulation, see Attachment "B." 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 vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None 10226 -10 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 Nays: None With regard to demolition monies, there is $25,000 in revenue sharing which will be utilized along with the $15,000 in community development funds. RESOLUTION NO. 760 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR FUNDS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1981. 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. 10226 -11 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981 Councilman Philips moved to accept the recommendation of the Administration; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None 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 Mayor Hutto Nays: None 10226 -12 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981 Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Contract on Emergency Basis to Shur -Flo for Sliplining Sanitary Sewer The six (6) inch sanitary sewer line located between Utah and Maryland from Louisiana to Kentucky Street which is 850 feet in length has several cave -ins and is missing much of the old concrete pipe. Therefore, emergency tele- phone bids were taken for the repair as follows: Channel Construction Company: 5 inch liner -850 ft. @ $11.00 /ft. 18 taps @ $250.00 each TOTAL Shur -Flo Company: 5 inch liner -850 ft. @ $8.25/ft. 18 taps @ $250.00 each TOTAL $ 9,350.00 $ 4,500.00 $13,850.00 $ 7,012.50 $ 4,500.00 $11,512.50 Both companies can begin work immediately. The Administra- tion recommended awarding the bid to Shur -Flo. Revenue sharing funds in the amount of $50,000 were allocated toward sliplining. Councilman Philips moved to adopt the ordinance; Councilman Simmons seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3093 AN ORDINANCE DECLARING THAT AN EMERGENCY SITUATION EXISTS; ACCEPTING THE BID OF SHUR -FLO COMPANY FOR THE SLIPLINING OF THE SANITARY SEWER LINE BETWEEN UTAH AND MARYLAND FROM LOUISIANA TO KENTUCKY STREET; AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT OF ELEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED TWELVE & 50/100 ($11,512.:50) DOLLARS WITH REGARD TO SUCH ACCEPTANCE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. City crews made point repairs on Woodside. Sliplining is needed on Woodside, as well as other lines in that area. Over all there are over 20 cave -ins on the list. The engineers would like to put a bid together to bring to Council. There is approximately $38,000 in the budget for sliplining. Consider Appointment to Clean City Commission Councilwoman Caffey moved to appoint Jerry Zeringue to the Clean City Commission to replace Jo Roosa; Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None 10226 -13 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 26, 1981 Consider Appointment to Electrical Board Councilman Simmons moved to appoint Howard Clark Boyles to the Electrical Board to the place of journeyman; Councilwoman Caffey seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None Consider Appointment to Plannine Commission Councilman Johnson moved to appoint James W. (Woody) Butler to the Planning Commission to the place of attorney; Councilman Simmons seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None Mr. Lanham mentioned to Council that this appointment is to fill the unexpired term of Jon Pfenning whose term expires April, 1981. Council inquired if perhaps this appointment could be made to complete this term and for another term? The City Attorney stated that he had not researched the matter, but perhaps it would be best to fill the expired term and then to make an appointment for this place when other appointments are to be made. Consider Appointment to Urban Rehabilitation Standards Review Board Councilman Philips moved that David Corbin be appointed to the Urban Rehabilitation Standards Review Board to the place of registered engineer and that Ted Munkres be appointed to the place of registered home builder and that Reverend Peter Katt and William J. Gidley be reappointed. Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None Consider Appointments to Baytown Cultural Arts Council These appointments will be made at the next meeting. Consider Appointment of Auditor As Chairman of the Audit Committee, Councilman Johnson moved to accept the firm of Gerace, Hullum & Start as city auditors for 1980 -81 fiscal year; Councilman Cannon seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Caffey and Cannon Mayor Hutto Nays: None 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.
