Receive Petitions
The City Manager presented a petition signed by
approximately 40 persons who reside on or in the close
proximity to East Fayle who are petitioning City Council to
make the intersection of Tenth and East Fayle a four -way
stop intersection.
Councilman Philips stated that perhaps more police
surveillance would get the problem of speed cured. He
mentioned that Council has been working to create through
streets to alleviate traffic and to place a four -way stop
at that intersection would interfer with traffic movement.
Councilman Johnson stated that this is a dangerous
intersection. There is a business on one corner of the
intersection which makes it difficult to see east down Fayle
Street. Therefore, he felt it proper that the petition be
referred to the Traffic Commission for consideration and
made a motion to that effect. Councilman Cannon seconded
the motion.
Mayor Hutto stated that he didn't feel that stop signs
should be used to slow traffic, but perhaps the Traffic
Commission would have some alternates to suggest. The
vote follows:

City Manager's Report
Baytown Area Water Authority (Thompson Road Water Line) -
All of the Thompson Road water line has been successfully
pressure tested. At the last meeting, the Administration
reported that the portion of line from the plant south to
Interstate 10 passed the pressure test. That section of
line was put into operation and has been furnishing the city
with approximately two million gallons of water per day.
The remainder of the line has been disinfected and flushed.
A sampling of the line for water quality is underway. If
that sampling produces positive results, the entire line
should be in operation the first part of next week. With
both sections of line in service, BAWA will be able to
deliver approximately eight million gallons of water per day
to the city.
In response to a question from Council concerning
pressure, Mr. Lanham stated that once the east line from
Lynchburg Cedar Bayou Road and south to the central portion
of the city is in service, there should be no pressure
problems. During peak periods of water usage, some of the
wells will need to be utilized, but only for short intervals.
Texas Bus Lines - The Administration has been informed
that Texas Bus Lines has discontinued service between Baytown
and Houston effective April 3. The Administration received
a call three -four weeks ago from the secretary to the president
of Texas Bus Lines requesting a letter from the city indicating
that the city had no objection to discontinuance of service
due to the fact that there is now another bus company operating
between Baytown and Houston. The Administration had suggested
that the bus company needed to make a formal written request.
Randy Strong, City Attorney, explained that Texas Bus
Lines has filed with the Railroad Commission for voluntary
suspension of service between Baytown and Houston for one
year. A public hearing was held on the suspension of service,
but no notice was given to the city since it is not the
practice of the Railroad Commission to notify cities on
hearings involving voluntary suspension. However, there
will be another hearing May 1 in which citizens and others
may appear. It is too late for the City of Baytown to file
formal complaint in opposition, but the city could send a
representative to voice the city's position. If the Railroad
Commission does approve the suspension, it will be for a
one -year period and at the end of that time, Texas Bus Lines
would have to go back to the Railroad Commission if they
desire to completely cancel that route or extend the suspension.
Councilman Cannon commented that the Tri- Cities Bus
Line when viewed in the morning and late afternoon has very
few passengers.
Mr. Lanham stated that the question is really whether
the community can support the bus service.
Councilman Philips pointed out that since the bus
company ceased operation some twenty days ago with no negative
feedback, this is indication that the need is not there.
Council took no action.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
General Telephone Company Request for Rate Increase -
Randy Strong, City Attorney, reported that about one week
ago the intervening cities in the General Telephone Company
rate case before the Public Utilities Commission, through
Don Butler, rate counselor, filed their testimony based on
the study performed by Touche, Ross. That testimony indicates
that General Telephone should have a rate reduction of 6.9
million dollars per year. That is without a further reduction
for poor quality of service or 9.7 million dollars after
imposing a penalty for poor service. Monday, April 20, the
PUC staff filed their testimony and recommendations which
indicate that General Telephone Company has a rate deficiency
of 4.7 million dollars per year. However, the PUC staff
also recommended that the company be penalized by 4 million
dollars for poor quality of service. The net effect being
that the company should get approximately $750,000 increase.
These figures should be compared to the company's request
for 44 million increase. An important point is that last
year, PVC's final order was approximately 2 million below
the staff recommendation.
The case commences next week and Mr. Butler has esti-
mated that it will take approximately 2 weeks to present all
the testimony. The hearings examiner will probably make a
decision approximately 3 weeks after that; therefore, it
will be 4 -6 weeks before the final outcome is determined.
Houston Lighting and Power - Cost of Service Increase -
Included in the Council packet was a copy of the letter from
Houston Lighting and Power Company regarding cost of service
increase for the month of May. Included in the letter is
cost comparison based on 1500 KWH which reflects a signifi-
cant increase due to seasonal change in rates which are
higher in summer months.
1981 Capital Improvements Steering Committee - The 1981
Capital Improvements Steering Committee met last night and
completed work on their report. The steering committee will
be prepared to meet with Council next week if Council
desires to hold a special meeting. The committee will be
recommending a bond election for approximately 24 million.
In response to a question from Council, Mr. Lanham
explained that Council would not be able to officially call
the election at the special meeting because once Council
indicates the desired totals, the Administration will need
to consult the fiscal agent and bond attorney who will
prepare the ordinance calling an election. However, Council
will be able to indicate at the special meeting the totals
and the education program can begin. Council scheduled a
special meeting for Thursday, April 30 at 5:00 p.m. to
receive the report of the steering committee and make
decisions regarding a bond election.
Corps of Engineers - Notification has been received by
the Administration from the Corps of Engineers of application
from River and Gulf Transportation Company, Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, a subsidiary of U. S. Steel, for construction
of a barge dock facility on Cedar Bayou Stream. This
construction is to be near the present U. S. Steel barge
facility. Approximately 93,000 cubic yards of clay will be
dredged to a depth of 10.5 feet and the material will be
placed in an existing land disposal area. The Administration
can determine no reason for the City of Baytown to object or
to request that a public hearing be held. As part of the
application, there is a map depicting where the spoil areas
will be.
10423 -4
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
West District - Notification by telephone has been
received from the Environmental Protection Agency that EPA
has approved the award of the contract for the West District
Sewerage Plant construction. That notification will be
received in writing within a few days. The contract can now
be signed and the proper insurance documents can be provided
so that within two weeks, the contractor should have a work
order to begin construction. These are 1980 funds which are
not affected by federal cutbacks; however, this does not
include Brownwood, that would be 1981 monies.
1981 Street Improvement Program - The contractor is
making very good progress on the 1981 Street Improvement
Project. Dent, Northridge, Bellview, West Francis, West
Homan, Dailey, Duke, Highway Boulevard and West Wright have
been overlaid.
Drainage - City crews have begun work on Rosille and
are about 5% complete. The Ward Road Project is virtually
complete. MacArthur is approximately 50% complete. On the
Rosille project, the ditch depth will be elevated approximately
1 foot.
Sandblasting /painting of Park Street Water Tower - About
6 -8 months ago a contract was awarded on the sandblasting /painting
of Park Street water tower. Last spring /summer when the
city was experiencing water problems, the Administration
requested that the contractor hold up on that contract. The
contractor complied and now he is preparing to do that work.
Replacement of water line - City crews have replaced a
water line on Idaho Street which has experienced numerous
water leaks.
Community Development - The site preparation is approximately
85% complete and all of the storm sewer has been installed
on Pine and Cherry Streets. Both lanes on Cherry Street
have been paved.
Keep American Beautiful Day /Cultural Arts Day - Council
was reminded that Keep America Beautiful Day has been scheduled
for Saturday, April 25 and Cultural Arts Day is scheduled
for May 3.
Questions /Comments Regarding City Manager's Report
Councilwoman Wilbanks commented that she had received
another call concerning the curb at the intersection of
Memorial and Lindenwood.
Norman Dykes, City Engineer /Director of Public Works,
stated that that area had been inspected and the street
department will dig the area out that is sinking and backfill
same with cement stabilized material.
Councilwoman Wilbanks stated that she had received a
call regarding a three -way stop on Birdsong Drive at Allenbrook.
She requested that the Administration provide the Baytown
Traffic Commission with the necessary information to make a
decision regarding a three -way stop at that particular
intersection.
Councilman Cannon inquired concerning the status of the
light on Decker at the Olefins plant.
Mr. Lanham stated that the Administration plans to meet
with Exxon representatives to discuss all the lights along
Decker Drive.
10423 -5
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
Councilman Cannon stated that he would like to see a
brown bag placed over the light at the Olefins plant for a
short period to make a traffic determination.
Councilman Johnson inquired if the city was experiencing
any significant sewer problems in the Lee Heights area other
than the one he had called to the attention of the Adminis-
trator? Mr. Lanham responded that he was unaware of any
problems other than the one that Councilman Johnson had
called about.
Mayor Hutto informed City Council that he would be
appearing before the Redistricting Subcommittee in Houston
on April 24 at 1:30 p.m. to present the resolution of
Council outlining the city's stance on redistricting for
congressional and senatorial purposes.
Hold Public Hearing on Proposed Annexation of 4.3 Acres
West of San Jacinto Mall (7:00 p.m.)
No one present indicated a desire to testify. The City
Manager explained that the proposed annexation is located
west of the San Jacinto Mall and south of Interstate 10.
The proposed annexation will include Lone Star Bank property
and will extend across Interstate 10 and the service road.
In response to a question from Council regarding drain-
age, Norman Dykes explained that this property is part of
the area which has already received approval as part of the
proposed San Jacinto Mall project. Property in this area is
to be developed in phases and this is the first phase of
development.
Mayor Hutto inquired if anyone present would like to
speak concerning the proposed annexation. No one indicated
a desire to speak; therefore, the public hearing was closed.
Jim Cannatella Will Appear
Mr. Jim Cannatella, owner of Taxi Jim Cab Services,
appeared to explain his plan to expand services to include
the Baytown area. Basically, his plan is to link all the
surrounding communities together to have the population
necessary to develop a substantially sized (20 -40 car) taxi
service. A packet of information in this regard had been
furnished to City Council. Mr. Cannatella plans to have
centralized dispatching utilizing Houston as a base. Each
driver will be from the community he will be servicing and
will own his own car. Mr. Cannatella will provide insurance
for the vehicles and radios. With the areawide concept, the
drivers will have the capability of picking up a fare in one
community and moving through several communities with that
fare.
The City Attorney explained that according to Mr.
Cannatella's written proposal, the present taxicab ordinance
would have to be modified or Mr. Cannatella would have to
modify his plan to comply with the present ordinance. For
instance, the present ordinance requires that the cab be in
service at least 20 days during the month. The present
ordinance requires payment of $75 per year per cab. Mr.
Cannatella is suggesting a franchise fee above that of $150.
The present ordinance requires that when a request is made
for permits, notice must be given by publication that City
Council will be considering these permits at the next
meeting. There is not a specific requirement for public
10423 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
hearing, but the ordinance does address Council considering
whether public convenience and necessity requires that
additional permits be issued. Section 29 -15 has a long list
of items that Council may consider in determining whether a
permit should be issued.
Mayor Hutto suggested that perhaps Council would want
the City Attorney to inform Council how this plan could be
implemented if Council so desires.
In response to a question from Council, Mr. Cannatella
explained that he plans to have twenty -four hour service,
metered cabs available seven days per week.
Councilman Simmons stated that before considering any
changes to the ordinance, there should be some demonstration
of public necessity.
Mr. Lanham pointed out that probably any changes to the
ordinance would be subject to what determination Council
made from information presented during the hearing on necessity.
In response to a point made by Council, the City Attorney
explained that the present ordinance provides that the
permittee maintain a terminal within the city which is one
of the changes suggested by Mr. Cannatella. Also, the
present ordinance provides that sub - terminals at hotels,
depots and other places shall be designated by the Chief of
Police. Sub - terminals would be any place that cabs are
parked to receive calls.
Mr. Cannatella explained that he would only be dispatching
from Houston, He will have no cab service inside the city
limits of Houston. Presently, he is working toward obtaining
permit for radio. Morgans Point has granted approval to Mr.
Cannatella and requests are currently pending before LaPorte
and Deer Park Councils.
Mayor Hutto inquired if Mr. Cannatella would be required
to obtain permission from the Railroad Commission to operate
between cities? Mr. Cannatella responded that he was unaware
of any requirement.
Mayor Hutto stated that he had some concern that the
Administration could spend a great deal of time on changes
to the ordinance with no results. The Mayor stated that
probably this public hearing would be like so many others,
producing very little input.
Councilman Philips stated that his main concern is
absentee ownership concept. The City of Baytown has problems
from time to time when property is owned by absentee owners.
He felt that when a service is being performed for the
public, the person owning /operating the business should be
available for public contact.
Mr. Cannatella stated that if Council desired further
performance on his part, that perhaps he could start by
obtaining one or two permits with no changes to the city
ordinance. Mr. Cannatella stated that he could understand
Council's concerns.
Councilman Cannon inquired if there would be any problem
with granting the permits under the present ordinance?
Mr. Lanham stated that according to the present ordinance,
Council would need to determine that there is the need.
Currently, there is a cab company in operation in Baytown
and Council would need to determine if there is a public
10423 -7
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
need for more cab service.
Mayor Hutto stated that the next Council meeting would
be held on May 14 which would give Mr. Cannatella ample time
to get feedback from the other communities and to check with
the Railroad Commission concerning any requirement that that
agency may impose.
Council scheduled a public hearing to consider neces-
sity for May 14 at 7 :00 p.m.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Entex, Inc. to
Increase Rates for Residential and Commercial Gas Service
Entex, Inc. is requesting that the residential base
rate be increased from $5.14 to $5.67 and the commercial
base rate be increased from $5.64 to $6.17. The Administra-
tion felt this to be a very reasonable request and recommended
approval. The adjustment is less than 2% of the average
monthly bill.
Councilman Philips moved for approval of the ordinance,
Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
ORDINANCE NO. 3127
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF
BAYTOWN, TEXAS; DETERMINING AND FIXING THE SCHEDULES OF
RATES TO BE CHARGED BY ENTEX, INC. IN THE CITY OF BAYTOWN,
TEXAS, FOR NATURAL GAS AND NATURAL GAS SERVICE FURNISHED BY
IT TO RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL CONSUMERS; FIXING THE
EFFECTIVE DATES OF GAS RATES PRESCRIBED IN THIS ORDINANCE;
MAKING MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS AND REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES
IN CONFLICT.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Concerning Regulation of Adult
Commercial Establishments and Massage Parlors
At Council's request, the Administration had developed
an ordinance to regulate Adult Commercial Establishments and
Massage Parlors. The ordinance is very similar to Harris
County and City of Houston regulations.
Randy Strong, City Attorney, explained that the ordi-
nance would create Chapter 2? of the Code of Ordinances
which shall be entitled Adult Commercial Establishments.
Article I of the ordinance deals with massage parlors and
Article II deals with sexually oriented commercial enterprises.
Article I is patterned after that of the City of Houston
because that ordinance has prevailed in court and Article II
is patterned after Harris County order for the same reason.
The City Attorney reviewed different provisions of the
ordinance for Council and explained, in response to a
question from Council, that the 500 feet minimum was utilized
because the only section of the City of Houston ordinance
which did not prevail in court was the section that stated
the sexually oriented establishment was to be a minimum of
1500 feet from the establishments listed as being inconsistent
with the operation of a restricted establishment. The court
considered this to be unreasonable. Since the statutes
10423 -8
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
dealing with Alcoholic Beverages,-set a limit of 300 feet as
a minimum, the city staff felt that the court would hold
that 500 feet is a reasonable requirement. The difference
in fees was established due to the differences in methods
required to regulate each article.
The reason that the massage parlor provisions are more
involved is that in that case there are Health aspects
involved; therefore, the city legal staff has made an effort
to regulate the manner in which these businesses are conducted.
With regard to sexually oriented establishments, the city is
not really regulating the business. The city is only setting
limitations where these type businesses can be operated in
relation to certain classes of residences and businesses.
There are a number of state statues that deal with sexually
oriented establishments.

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Contract with
Harris County for Jail Services_
If authorized, the proposed agreement will continue the
contract that has been in existence for the last 4 -5 years.
Last year, the county paid the city $70,000 for a thirteen -
month period. This contract provides that the county will
pay $68,000 for a twelve -month period which is an increase
of of almost $3,400 over last year. The Administration
feels that the increase is reasonable and recommended approval
of the ordinance.
When the contract was first negotiated, an estimate was
made of how many prisoners the county would be placing in
the jail to determine what the contract amount should be;
however, since that time the contract amount has been
established according to inflation.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Change Order No. 1
to the 1981 Street Improvement Program
The proposed change order will enable the city to place
asphalt on the parking areas in Roseland Park. This has
been discussed by Council several times and there has been
much public input concerning dust. Material has recently
been hauled from streets that have been reconstructed to
Roseland. The material consists of asphalt and shell. One
of the items included on the bid for the 1981 Street Improve-
ment Program is asphalt; therefore, there can be a change
order to that contract which would allow the city to surface
the area where the materials have been hauled, rolled and
shaped. For just under $51,000, the parking areas in Roseland
Park can be surfaced. Remaining in 1975 Bond Funds is
approximately $200,000. The contract price for asphalt is
less than what has been bid in the last two years; therefore,
the Administration recommended approval of the change order.
Councilwoman Wilbanks moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Philips seconded the motion.
The Parks Board has approved this recommendation. Most
of the hauling has been accomplished by the street department
on weekends, but they are being paid from Park Bond Funds.
Council commended the city staff for the cooperation between
departments. The vote follows:

Sharon Road. Council took no action on this item
last fall because of the construction work on
Garth Road. The Harris County contractor is about
to complete the Garth Road project. Proposed
Ordinance No. 10423 -14, establishes the right of
way designations on Garth Road by removing the
stop sign for Garth Road at Lynchburg -Cedar Bayou
and authorizing the recommended stop signs at the
streets that intersect with Garth Road.
We recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No.
10423 -14, establishing right of way designations
on Garth Road.

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Amending the Animal Control
Ordinance to Prohibit Keeping of Certain Wild Animals
` The Administration has been receiving calls recently
concerning wild animals that are being kept in the city.
Some of these animals escape from time to time which concerns
others in the neighborhood. An ordinance has been prepared
that does not prohibit the keeping of wild animals, but the
ordinance does provide that such animals must be kept a
certain distance from residences, schools and child care
facilities.
The City Attorney explained that the present Animal
ordinance already makes it an offense to keep within the
city limits of the City of Baytown certain types of animals
within regulated distances of residences, churches or
schools. The present ordinance speaks to mainly domesticated
animals. Therefore, the proposed ordinance adds a new
definition which defines wild animals and provides that
those animals may not be kept within 500 feet of a church,
school, hospital, residence, or public place.
Councilman Cannon moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The vote follows:

Consider Proposed Resolution No. 769, Endorsing Passage of
Legislation Establishing a City Street Improvement Fund
A bill has been introduced that would establish a City
Street Improvement Fund that would provide money to cities
based on the number of miles of street within the city.
Approximately $1225 for each mile of paved street maintained
by the city would be paid to the city from this fund. In
the case of the City of Baytown, that would result in a
payment of approximately $403,000. The Administration has
no knowledge of what the possibilities of this bill being
passed are, but in the case of the sales tax, several
legislatures considered the proposal before it passed. Part
of the justification of the bill is that everyone who purchases
10423 -16
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
gasoline pays the gasoline tax whether they live outside the
city limits or not. Therefore, it seems appropriate that
some of that money should come to the cities. The Administration
recommended approval.
In response to a question from Council, Mr. Lanham
responded that the funds would be utilized strictly for
street maintenance and repair.
Councilman Simmons moved for adoption of the resolution;
Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks,

Consider Accepting Donation of Marquee Sign for Bicentennial
Park from Service League of Baytown
The Service League of Baytown has requested permission
to donate a marquee sign to the City of Baytown at an estimated
cost of almost $3,700. The only stipulation to the donation
is that only activities sponsored by the City of Baytown may
be displayed on the sign. The Parks Board has recommended
approval and the Administration concurred in that recommendation.
Councilman Simmons commended the Service League for its
interest in the community and moved to accept the donation;
Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion and commented that
the Service League frequently considers the community and
she too commended the League for its service.
Council concurred that there would be groups who pay to
use the facilities at the Bicentennial Park who are going to
object to not being able to advertise that event on the
marquee, but Council acknowledged that acceptance of the
marquee would mean compliance with the request of the donor.
The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Consider Authorization for Development and Administering
Physical Fitness Testing Program
Mr. Lanham explained that the Administration had been
contacted by employees regarding the development by the city
of some sort of physical fitness program. Larry Patterson,
Director of Personnel, explained that for about a three -year
period on several occasions members of the police and fire
departments have brought to the attention of the Personnel
Department the need for the development of some type physical
standard for both departments. This came to pass because of
some related heart diseases and problems in the fire and
10423 -17
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
police area and some of the injuries suffered due to poor
physical conditioning. Therefore, the Personnel Department
has developed a proposal for Council consideration. In that
proposal are outlined several goals that the Administration
would like to see such a program accomplish:
1. Increased aerobic capacity (oxygen consumption);
2. Increased strength and flexibility;
3. Improved percentage of individual body fat;
4. Improved resting pulse rates and blood pressures;
5. Improved levels of serum cholesterol, triglycerides,
and high density proteins.
These goals were established with the police and fire
personnel in mind, but provision was made for other employees
to participate on a voluntary basis.
Fitness testing can be hazardous if gone about incor-
rectly; therefore, the Administration has outlined a very
responsible fitness testing program in which an individual
would go through 9 steps and any time during that process
that that individual is determined to have a high risk, then
that individual will be required to have some type of
medical certification or verification from their doctor
before continuing in the program. First, the individual
would be sent through an orientation period to explain about
the fitness program. At which time, the individual would
be educated somewhat in the area of physical fitness - -what
would be expected of them, what some of the danger signs
are, how to become physically fit and how to maintain
physical fitness. Next, the individual would be asked to
complete a medical fitness questionnaire which would be
reviewed to determine the individual's cardiac risk factor.
The company physician would be working with the Administra-
tion in this regard. Blood pressure and pulse screening
would be done for these individuals. A body composition
assessment would be performed to determine total body
weight - -fat and lean. Then the individual would be put
through a submaximal test which is a simple three minute
step test to determine if that simple exercise would raise
them beyond a hazardous level as far as maximum pulse rate
and finally those individuals would be put through the
maximal testing. Maximal testing includes flexibility test,
muscular endurance, and 11 mile run or 3 mile walk. The
purpose there is not to test the individuals ability to run
1_6 miles or to walk 3 miles, but rather a time it takes that
individual to perform that feat and associate that with
oxygen uptake levels. The responsibility of the program is
divided into two sectors. The city's responsibility is that
testing and assessment will be provided. The individual
will have to make a personal commitment to attain fitness
and maintain fitness.
In response to a question from Council regarding proper
monitoring of the program, Mr. Patterson explained that some
employees would be i.nvolved in a fitness trainers course and
these people would be able to administer physical tests,
assess those tests and prescribe exercise programs for
individuals on an individual basis, as well as detect any
early warning signals that may be developing. They would be
doing the bulk of the work, but we would have the assistance
of the company physician. Now, he would not be present every
moment of testing, but during the maximal testing period, we
10423 -18
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
would hope to get his assistance.
Council inquired if all sworn personnel of the police
and fire departments could be required to participate in
this program? The City Attorney responded that the police
and fire departments are in a special position as far as
city personnel because they do engage in life saving and
hard physical stress situations. It would be allowable for
the fire and police chiefs to direct that all employees in
those departments submit to the testing in order to set
standards. The actual testing would be performed during the
normal work day or overtime would be paid for the testing,
but the maintenance of physical fitness would be left to the
employee to accomplish.
The Administration presented the information to Council
for consideration with the intent of bringing it back to
Council at a later time for action. If Council desires to
consider whether to make the program voluntary or mandatory
for persons presently employed is an option.
Councilman Cannon stated that he certainly would encourage
that option.
Chief Turner was present and stated the problem is that
the individuals who will take advantage of the program are
usually the ones who really don't need to participate.
Council commended Mr. Patterson for his efforts in this
regard.
Consider Reducing Retainage to Two (2 %) Percent for East
District Sanitary Sewer Contracts 1 and 2
The contractor has virtually completed the work and the
consulting engineers have recommended that the contractor be
paid all but two (2 %) percent for East District Sanitary
Sewer Contracts 1 and 2. The retainage on both contracts
would be approximately $39,000. The Administration recommended
approval.
Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Fuller seconded the motion.
In response to a question from Council, the City Attorney
explained that the bonding company has no problem with
reducing the retainage. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Consider City Participation of Oversizing Water and Sanitary
Sewer Lines on Garth Road
Norman Dykes, City Engineer /Director of Public Works,
directed Council's attention to a map which depicted an area
along Garth Road immediately south of Interstate 10. In
recent months, San Jacinto Mall, Meadow Lake Village and the
City of Baytown participated in a project to extend water
and sewer lines to serve the mall and Meadow Lake Village.
Now, there are developers between where the line stops at
the south property line of the mall up to the Interstate
that are interested in extending services to their property.
These developers feel that to serve their needs an eight
inch water line is necessary and a ten inch sewer line. Up
10423 -19
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
to that point, there is a sixteen inch water line. The
Administration feels that for future planning that the
sixteen inch line should continue on to the Interstate
because at some future time, it would be connected to a line
planned to be constructed down the Interstate by BAWA. This
would provide an adequate loop down Garth Road. That water
line will extend about 2965 feet which should cost approxi-
mately $38,675. The Administration feels that a twelve inch
line from where the present line stops on up to the Inter -.
state would be sufficient because much of the service in the
existing 18 inch sanitary sewer comes in at the south corner
of the mall. Therefore, we would really be looking at the
area on the east side of Garth up to the Interstate and the
possibility of some service across the Interstate on the
north side. With regard to financing, there is unappropriated
$50,000 in revenue sharing funds.
Mayor Hutto inquired if the engineers are reasonably
certain that a 12 inch sanitary sewer would be sufficient.
He stated that he would prefer to build the line larger to
accommodate future growth.
Councilman Philips stated that the city needs to plan
for future growth, but by the same token the engineers have
studied the situation and are making the recommendation and
Council needs to be good stewards of the public trust.
Mr. Dykes reminded Council that the long range plan
would be to construct a sanitary sewer treatment plant to
handle the requirements of the city in that area or to
enlarge the West District and pump the effluent there.
Councilwoman Wilbanks moved to authorize the adver-
tisement for bids on the various sized lines as recommended
by the Administration; Councilman Philips seconded the
motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto

Consider Election of Mayor Pro Tempore

Wilbanks and Fuller
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Making Appointments to Board
of Equalization /Appointments to Wrecker Committee
Appointments to the Board of Equalization must be made
prior to June 1; therefore, Council could make these appoint-
ments at either of the next two meetings. Mr. Lanham
inquired if Council would like to hold a work session prior
10423 -20
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
to the next Council meeting to discuss these appointments.
Councilman Philips inquired if Council would be interested
in reappointing those who had served previously or would
Council want to appoint a new board?
Mayor Hutto stated that he understood that one member
would not be interested in serving and possibly another.
The members of the equalization board for 1980 were Dot
Vidrine, 011ie Clevenger and Tommy Clayton.
Councilwoman Wilbanks inquired if those individuals
could be contacted to determine if they-are interested in
being considered for reappointment.
Councilman Cannon suggested that Council set a policy
that the Administration automatically contact everyone whose
terms are expiring to determine interest. That way if
someone is not reappointed, there will be no embarrassment.
Councilman Philips stated that Council needs to get
input from these people and the Administration could do
that.
Councilman Cannon stated Council could in turn contact
prospective appointees to get an indication of desire to
serve.
Mr. Lanham stated that the Administration would be in
contact with the Board of Equalization for 1980 to determine
their interest in being reappointed and report to Council
before the next Council meeting.
Councilman Philips stated that he would like to make
this sort of an open -type communication where Council would
approach an individual with the idea would you be interested
in serving if Council elects to appoint you; Council concurred.
Mr. Lanham inquired if Council wanted the Administration
to institute this procedure with appointments to the Planning
Commission, Board of Equalization and Wrecker Committee?
Councilman Johnson stated that he had been in contact with
members of the wrecker committee up for reappointment because
two of the three members are members which he had personally
recommended for the appointment. All three members expressed
a willingness to continue to serve. Two of the committee
members stated that one committee member has never made a
meeting and Councilman Johnson stated that that should be
taken into account even though this member is not up for
reappointment.
Mayor Hutto had been in contact with this member who
explained that there had been some misunderstanding which
has since been clarified and that he would like to serve.
Council agreed that this member should be given another
opportunity to serve.
Councilman Johnson moved that Mr. E. C. Simmons, Mr.
Rex Couch and Mr. Robert Walton be reappointed to the Wrecker
Committee; Councilman Philips seconded the motion. The vote
follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 23, 1981
Consider Appointments to Baytown Housing Finance Corporation
Board
These appointments are for two year terms and in the
past these appointments have been the same as those made to
the Baytown Housing Authority Board which appointments are
made by the Mayor. Members of the Housing Finance Corporation
are appointed by City Council; therefore, if Council desires
to continue this practice, 0. J. Howell and Vernon Shields
would be reappointed to serve. Both have been active members.
Alternatively, Council could appoint someone other than
these two gentlemen which would provide some overlap between
the Housing Authority Board and the Housing Finance Corporation
Board, but the same five individuals would not be serving on
both boards. Probably, they are functioning almost as one
board. The Administrative head of the Housing Authority is
also the Administrative Head of the Housing Finance Corporation.
Councilman Simmons moved to reappoint 0. J. Howell and
Vernon Shields to the Baytown Housing Finance Corporation
Board; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote
follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Greenbelt Committee
Councilman Johnson stated that he would like to resign
from the Greenbelt Committee since the meetings are held at
very inopportune times. He questioned if Baytown even
needed a representative on the committee since from the
information he had received it appeared that the committee's
activities really involved the Houston area.
Councilman Philips commented that in many instances
appointments are required to be filled by elected officials
and in those instances the attendance is poor. Since Judge
Lindsay has requested that the bylaws of the Transportation
Committee of H -GAC be examined that committee is recommending
that the Mayor appoint a representative to the committee.
This appointee will not necessarily need to be an elected
official. It was a consensus of the group, that in many
instances it would be better to appoint a staff person.
Clean Citv Commission
Councilman Fuller reported to the Council that he plans
to tender his resignation to the Clean City Commission,
Greenbelt Committee
Councilwoman Wilbanks requested that the City Manager
check to determine if Baytown needs a representative on the
committee and if so, could someone other than an elected
official be appointed.
