City Manager's Report
Clean City Commission - The City of Baytown has received
a very important communication from the Keep America
Beautiful, Inc. office in New York. A copy of that letter
was placed at the Council table.
Eva Smith, Chairman of the Clean City Commission, was
present to read that letter and to announce that the City of
Baytown will be presented with a KAB Day Award at the National
Awards Luncheon in New York City on December 10. Mrs. Smith
thanked the City, City Council, businesses, organizations,
schools, churches and individuals for their support and
cooperation.

recognition for Baytown.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
Bay Area Heritage Society - Another group which the
City of Baytown supports is the Bay Area Heritage Society
and Jean Shepherd, President of that group, reported that
last year when the Heritage Society reported to Council of
the great gift of the Sjolander papers, Councilman Allen
Cannon suggested to the Society that an application be made
to Atlantic Richfield Company's foundation.' The Bay Area
Heritage Society applied to the Atlantic Richfield Foundation
for funds for the Sjolander room at the museum. Just prior
to the meeting, Councilman Cannon presented Mrs. Shepherd
with a check for $5,000 from Atlantic Richfield Foundation.
Mrs. Shepherd on behalf of the Society, thanked Councilman
Cannon for his efforts.
Council commended the Bay Area Heritage Society for the
many hours of dedication toward the museum.
Houston Lighting and Power Company - Randy Strong, City
Attorney, stated that a few days ago, Houston Lighting and
Power delivered a copy of their statement of intent to
increase rates in their service area. The proposed increase
would result in a system -wide annual base revenue increase
of approximately $248,000,000 or approximately 9�% of the
adjusted total of the prior year or the prior test year.
Due to the voluminous material, Mr. Strong was unable to
review the material in detail; however, because of time
restraints, the legal staff plans to file a motion to intervene
before the Public Utility Commission. At the next Council
meeting, the Administration will come back to Council for
formal approval.
General Telephone Company - The Administration had
provided Council a copy of a memorandum regarding the status
of the General Telephone rate case. Mr. Strong reported
that General Telephone requested $45,000,000 dollars in
increased revenue with the Public Utility Commission granting
$2 million dollars increase. The Commission felt that most
of the increase that General Telephone Company requested was
unjustified at this time. Mr. Strong stated that it is his
understanding that most of this $2 million dollar increase
will be spread amongst mobile telephones, rail telephones
and services other than residential. General Telephone
Company is appealing this decision and the status of that
lawsuit will be some months off.
Municipal Court Judge - In accordance with Council
direction, a letter had been drafted to the Municipal Court
Judge for Council consideration.
Mayor Hutto stated that he felt it would be better for
Council to meet with Judge Donnelly personally to discuss
Council's concerns in regard to handling traffic citations.
Council had no objections
in a work session at 5:30 p.m.
meeting on July 23, 1981.
to meeting with Judge Donnelly
prior to the next Council
Drainage Work The City has not been able to accomplish
much work on construction projects since the last meeting
because of the rain. The City has completed drainage work
on Rosilee and the Beaumont Street /Donovan area.
Glen Meadow Subdivision - The Administration has received
appraisals for right of way needed in the Glen Meadow Subdivision
for the outfall system to drain that subdivision. The
Administration is working with Houston Lighting and Power
regarding a pipe line crossing that will be necessary.
10709 -3
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
Massey Tompkins Road - The Massey Tompkins Road project
is approximately 90% complete. The Harris County Flood
Control District contractor has completed the first phase of
constructing the ditch north of Massey Tompkins between
North Main and Barkuloo Road and the second phase which
extends in an easterly direction to Barkuloo Road has been
completed.
Street Improvement Program - The only additional work
that has been done since the last meeting was that the
contractor has completed the pouring of the curb and gutter
on Indiana Street.
Budget Process - The Administration is now involved in
reviewing the budget requests of the various departments in
preparation for submittal of a proposed 1981 -82 Budget to
City Council prior to the end of July.
Questions or Comments Regarding the City Manager's Report
Councilman Johnson stated that last week there was a
public hearing in Liberty County regarding the use of an
area in Liberty County as a PCP dump and requested that a
resolution be prepared to be sent to Liberty County support-
ing Liberty in protesting this proposed dump site. Councilman
Johnson felt that these proposed dump sites should be
located somewhere other than populated areas. The Administration
will prepare a resolution in this regard to be presented at
the next Council meeting.
Councilman Johnson inqured as to the status of the
meetings with Exxon regarding the traffic light at the
intersection of Bayway Drive and San Jacinto Street. Mr.
Lanham stated that the Administration has had three meetings
with representatives of Exxon and a plan is being prepared.
A plan is also being prepared for traffic lights on Decker
Drive.
Mayor Hutto inquired as to the work being done on the
railroad crossing on Baker Road between Decker Drive and
Bayway Drive. Bill Cornelius, Director of Planning and
Traffic, stated that Missoui Pacific was repairing the
railroad tracks.
R. L. Parker Will Appear
Councilman Johnson stated that Mr. Parker had called to
state that he would be unable to appear due to illness. He
will request to appear at a later date.
Receive Parks and Recreation Board's Annual Report
Wayne Gray, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board, was present to submit the 1981 Annual Report
for the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Mr. Gray
stated that this has been a good year for parks and recre-
ation in Baytown. Roseland Park was one of the most improved
parks during the last year. The asphalt parking and drive
areas at Roseland Park were accomplished at a minimum cost
by utilizing Public Works employees and old street materials
10709 -4
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
for the sub -base. The added parking and drive areas provide
for greater utilization of the park.
One item that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
included in their recommendation is that the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board visit with the County Commissioners
to encourage the development of a large water -based recreational
facility and include in that facility, a golf course for
East Harris County. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
requested Council's consideration and advice in that area.
Mr. Lanham reminded Council of the resolution that the
City Council passed approximately one year ago in which the
Council listed certain drainage and street projects that the
City would like the County to include in the next bond
program. The Council also included a statement about a
water -based recreational area or park in East Harris County.
This would be consistent with that resolution.
Mayor Hutto encouraged the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board to proceed in this regard. Councilwoman Wilbanks felt
that the Board should go to the County as an advisory group
and if the Board gets very positive reaction from Commissioner's
Court, the Council would then have the opportunity to visit
with the county which would give the City of Baytown a
second time to emphasize the program.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Setting Public Hearing on
Proposed Annexation North of Massey Tompkins Road
The proposed ordinance calls a public hearing on the
proposed annexation north of Massey Tompkins Road. A map
had been provided which depicted the area being proposed for
annexation. The area being proposed for annexation is a
populated area where water and /or sewer services are available.
There are approximately 65 homes in this area. The Adminis-
tration recommended approval of the proposed ordinance.
Councilman Cannon stated that in defining the general
area in this map, he had some general concern regarding the
depth that is defined and suggested that the area be squared
off with the existing city boundaries with some semblance of a
straight line.
Council expressed some concern that in attempting to
square the City limits, property would be divided. Mr.
Lanham responded that in proposing annexation property lines
are usually followed.
Council concurred with Councilman Cannon's recommendation.
Mr. Lanham stated that an item will be placed on the next
agenda to call a public hearing appropriate with changes in
the field notes.
10709 -5
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Traffic Signal
at Garth and Lynchburg Cedar Bayou Roads
The proposed ordinance authorizes the installation of a
traffic signal at Garth and Lynchburg -Cedar Bayou which is a
recommendation of the Traffic Commission. This location
does meet the warrants that have been adopted. Westbound
traffic on Lynchburg -Cedar Bayou at Garth Road exceeds the
requirements there for a street of this type coming into a
thoroughfare. During the period from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00
p.m. on June 3, 1981, the average flow was 120 -130. The low
during that period was 84 and the high was 168 vehicles.
This count was taken after school was out. During the
school year, the traffic count would be greater on Lynch-
burg -Cedar Bayou. Coupled with that statistic must be the
traffic count on Garth Road because it is the combination of
the two that makes this meet the warrant. For northbound
traffic on Garth Road between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and
11:00 p.m. the low count was 216 and the southbound traffic
during that time was 167. The combination of the northbound
and southbound traffic far exceeded the standard. The
Administration recommended approval of the proposed ordi-
nance.
Councilman Fuller moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion.
Councilman Philips felt that Section 4 of the proposed
ordinance should state "an offense under this chapter for
which another penalty is not provided is a misdeameanor
punishable by a fine of not less than $25.00 nor more than
$200" rather than stating $1.00.
The City Attorney suggested that rather than
change this one ordinance, Council might want to consider
changing the penalty clause to reflect .a minimum of $25.00
per offense regarding traffic signals. Councilman Philips
stated that he would support attacking the problem in that
manner. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
ORDINANCE NO. 3191
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN
AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNALS ON
GARTH ROAD AND LYNCHBURG /CEDAR BAYOU ROADS; PRESCRIBING A
MAXIMUM PENALTY OF TWO HUNDRED AND N01100 ($200.00) DOLLARS:
AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Stop Signs for
Birdsong at Edgebrook and Birdsong at Allenbrook
This ordinance was prepared in response to the petition
that was presented at the last Council meeting requesting
that three -way stops be established at the intersections of
Birdsong and Edgebrook and Birdsong and Allenbrook. This
petition was considered by the Traffic Commission and
rejected because it did not meet the warrants that have been
adopted by the City Council for three -way stops.
10709 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
One possibility for dealing with this problem, but
might not solve the problem, is to discuss with the county
the possiblity of a closed median on Baker Road at its
intersection with Allenbrook. This would eliminate some of
the traffic that is now making left turns off Baker Road
along Allenbrook. It would to some degree reduce the
amount of traffic that is coming on to Allenbrook from Baker
Road, but probably would not reduce the traffic that is
entering Birdsong at Garth Road. It would have an impact on
the after school traffic.
Mayor Hutto stated that he is sympathetic with these
citizens but there again the City is placing a stop sign to
regulate traffic in a residential neighborhood.
Councilman Philips stated that even if the City does
place stop signs at this intersection, motorists may elect
to disregard the signs. However, if this street is not a
designated thoroughfare, the City should discourage use as a
thoroughfare. If the street is primarily residential in
nature, it will never meet the traffic warrants.
Councilman Philips moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Cannon seconded the motion.
Councilman Cannon pointed out that Council is concerned
over motorists disregarding stop signs and red lights and
these stop signs are going to apply to every person including
residents of the neighborhood.
Councilman Fuller stated the City can place stop signs
at those locations and come back at a later date and remove
them. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
ORDINANCE NO. 3192

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Rehabilitation Contract
for 2105 West Humble
Three bids were received for a rehabilitation contract

$8,500. The repairs include leveling the foundation,
installation of a new roof, repair of windows and doors,
painting exterior trim, repairing ceilings and walls, repairing
kitchen cabinets and exterior painting. The Community
Development Advisory Board reviewed the bids and recommended
approval. The Administration concurred with that recommendation.
Councilwoman Wilbanks moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Cannon seconded the motion.
10709 -7
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
Councilman Fuller inquired as to who inspects the job
after it is completed to make sure all of the work has been
completed correctly. Mr. Lanham responded that an inspector
is on the job and in many instances, the building inspectors
go out to make inspection if the work involves electrical
and plumbing work. Mr. Lanham further stated that the
Community Development Program is a very difficult program to
administer. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon

Work to be accomplished includes repairing the foundation,
installation of a new roof, installation of a new hot water
heater, siding repairs, painting exterior trim, repair of
walls and ceilings, repair of damaged floors, repair of

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Bid on Emergency Basis
Concrete Channel on Goose Creek Drive
This is part of the project to relieve the flooding
problems in the Country Club area. At the last meeting, the
City of Baytown received easements from property owners in
that area and Council was informed of some of the steps that
would be taken to correct the problem. This is an additional
step in this process.
Norman Dykes, City Engineer /Director of Public Works,
explained that what is being proposed is a concrete channel,
valley gutter or concrete swale that will be 136 feet long
which is approximately the depth of the lot and 7J feet
wide. At the deepest point of the swale, it is approximately
2 feet deep. It will slope from the street at the top of
the curb and slope to the back towards Goose Creek. The
street out front being Goose Creek Drive. The purpose of
this is to allow the excess overflow water to flow overland
between the houses and out to the creek.
Four bids were received for the proposed project. The
low bid is that of Glenlen Paving for the amount of $5,250
and this includes labor and materials. Mr. Dykes recommended
that this project be done and that Glenlen Paving be awarded
this bid.
Mr. Lanham pointed out that this project is in addition
to the 48 inch pipe that the City is installing from Goose
Creek Drive back to Goose Creek.
Mr. Lanham explained that Mr. Dykes met with the residents
of that area to familiarize them with the plans. These bids
were taken on an emergency bases.
In response to a question from Councilman Cannon, Mr.
Dykes explained that the contractor expects to complete the
project within 45 working days.
Mayor Hutto felt that the proposed work will help to
alleviate some of the problems in Country Club but the real
solution to the problem will come when the Baker Road project
is completed.
Councilman Philips moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Fuller seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
ORDINANCE NO. 3195

TO SUCH ACCEPTANCE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE
THEREOF.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Change Order No.
2 for 1981 Street Improvement Program
The proposed ordinance approves Change Order No. 2 to
the 1981 Street Improvement Program in the amount of $13,408.00.
The major item in this change order is the construction of
an entrance road and parking lot for Tejas Park, located
west of Beaumont Street. This facility has been designed to
act as a retention pond in addition to providing an entrance
and parking area for the park.
In response to a question from Council, Mr. Dykes
explained that the street will be asphalt with concrete curb
and gutter. That the only time water will be standing on the
street is during heavy rainfall which would cause water to
stand for only a short time. This should not deteriorate
the asphalt.
Councilman Philips inquired why this item is being bid
since he has been observing city forces working in this
area?
Mr. Dykes responded that Public Works crews are coop-
erating with the parks department to perform all excavation
work and installation of drainage pipes from the retention
area out to the Beaumont Street drainage pipe. Also the
crews are laying the base material on the project. All the
contractor will be doing in this area is placing the surface
asphalt and installing concrete curb and gutter. Mr. Dykes
also explained that this work is being performed on over-
time status after the crews have completed regularly scheduled
assignments.
Mr. Dykes, in response to a concern of Council that the
City may actually be contributing to the flooding problem,
explained that by the way the city is designing the roadway
and parking area, it will act as a rentention pond which
will hold approxmately 100,000 gallons of water. The water
will be allowed to run off at a much slower rate which
should help alleviate some of the flooding.
Councilman Philips moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Simmons seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon

ORDINANCE NO. 3196
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 TO THE 1981
STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IN THE CITY OF BAYTOWN.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Change Order No.
3 for 1981 Street Improvement Program
The proposed ordinance authorizes Change Order No. 3 to
the 1981 Street Improvement Program to construct a walkway
for Crockett Elementary School. By change order, the contract
unit prices can be utilized and since this is a small
project, to advertise for bids would probably mean higher
bids. The school district is interested in having the
project completed prior to the beginning of school.
10709 -10
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
The school district came to the Administration to
discuss the possibility of the city providing a 4 foot
sidewalk from the dead end of E1 Rancho Drive in Chaparral
north down the city park property and across land owned by
Allen Meister and Eldon Berry to the southeast corner of the
school property. The property owners agreed to the project.
However, the Administration was concerned about the city
being involved in building something outside the city limits
which was not on city property. Especially, since it does
not tie in to anything the city has planned.
The alternate that the City has recommended is that the
sidewalk come along the northside of city park property with
the city paying that portion of the cost. Then for the
sidewalk to proceed north and the school district pay that
portion of the cost. When the park is developed, a walk
around the park is planned which should tie into the proposed
walkway. Since this walkway will be on park property, it
will be appropriate to spend park bond money on this project.
In response to a question from Council,
stated that the Administration's alternative
because the city would be expending city tax
there is direct benefit related to the city.

Consider Extending Terms of Baytown Cultural Arts Council
to June 1
Barbara Hinds, Chairman of the Cultural Arts Council,
requested that the Council consider changing the date for
appointing new members from February 1 to June 1. Most
cultural groups in Baytown present their program between
September and May which disrups continuity during a very
busy period. The Administration recommended approval of the
Cultural Arts Council's request.
Councilwoman Wilbanks moved to approve changing the
date for appointing new members to the Cultural Arts Council
from February 1 to June 1; Councilman Simmons seconded the
motion. The vote follows:

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
Consider Priority List for Implementation of Capital
Improvement Program Voted June 9, 1981
Council reviewed the priority list in the work session
earlier and suggested some changes. This is not something
that cannot be changed in the future because conditions can
change. The priority list will serve as a guide for the
present to schedule bond sales and provide the framework for
getting the projects underway in a timely manner.
Councilman Simmons felt it appropriate to have the fire
stations tranferred to the first year.
Councilman Cannon stated that in looking at the drain-
age, the Council discussed trying to have this moved ahead
in the priority list. The Highway 146 extension is not
dependent necessarily on the Adams Street box. Therefore,
there is no reason the Adams Street work cannot be done in
the 1983 -84 time frame and Highway 146 extension be done
concurrent with the Adams Street work. Mr. Lanham stated
that would move $275,000 over to 1982 -83 and move $2,691,000
over to 1983 -84 and move the others up a year. That would
be $70,000 up to the 1982 -83 period and the $753,000 to the
1983 -84 period. Councilman Cannon stated that he would like
for the whole project to be completed by 1983 -84. Mr.
Lanham stated that for 1982 -83 period $70,000, plus $38,000,
plus $275,000 will be included. For the 1983 -84 time
period, $2,691,000 plus $753,000 will be included.
Councilman Philips stated that if this will put a
strain on the city's ability to inspect the work, the city
should contract that and add that in as a supplement to the
city's inhouse capability.
Mayor Hutto stated that according to the plans, Rolling -
brook Drive will be completed in the 1983 -84 time span. Mr.
Lanham felt that this project will take a year or two to
construct. Mr..Lanham stated that if the plans are completed
in 1981 -82 and the contract is let by early 1982, the
project should be completed in 1983.
Councilwoman Wilbanks stated Rollingbrook will extend
from Garth Road to Decker Drive. Once again she called
Council's attention to that strip that is not completed on
Rollingbrook Drive from Garth Road to North Main. Mr.
Lanham explained that the City has an agreement with the
owner that when the property is developed, the road will be
completed.
Councilman Fuller stated that area is a real problem
area and very hazardous and inquired if there if any way
that the city can negotiate with the owner of this property.
Mayor Hutto stated that he is the trustee for this
particular tract of land and felt that if Council wanted to
discuss this at length, he would like to relinquish the
chair to the Mayor Pro Tem because he agrees with Councilman
Fuller that this work should be done.
Councilman Cannon stated it would be beneficial to the
whole project if that particular strip of land could be
completed.
10709 -12
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 9, 1981
Councilman Philips requested that the Administration
develop a plan with some alternatives. Assessment project
would be a possibility or totally funding the project.
Another alternative suggested was a payback -- the city
could put the street in place and whenever the property is
developed, the owner could pay the city back. The city
could advance the money, and the city could be reimbursed.
Councilman Simmons inquired if a subsequent owner would
be obligated? Mr. Strong stated that he will have to
research this matter.
Councilwoman Wilbanks felt that if the City Council and
the Administration work on the concept that the city is
trying to get this right of way across town, the problem
needs to be resolved.
Councilman Fuller stated that frankly the city needs to
resolve this problem whether the right of way goes across
town or not because of the amount of traffic that uses that
roadway. The Administration recommended approval of the
priority list with the changes that Council made.
Councilman Fuller moved to accept the priority list for
the 1981 Capital Improvement Program with the changes
outlined; Councilman Philips seconded the motion. The vote
follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Councilwoman Wilbanks requested that the Administration
prepare a new schedule for the next Council meeting reflect-
ing the changes.
In response to a question from Councilman Fuller, Mr.
Lanham stated that he will try to get Tom Masterson with
Underwood, Neuhaus, Inc. to meet with City Council.
Consider Appointments to Mechanical Board
Council was not ready on this item.
Recess and Reconvene
Mayor Hutto recessed the open meeting into executive
session to discuss pending litigation. When the open
meeting reconvened, Mayor Hutto stated that no business had
been transacted.
Unfinished Business
Mayor Hutto stated that he had been invited to attend
the Commander's Distinguished Visitors Tour for the 15th. U.S.
Air Force Headquarters on August 18, 19 and 20th. They will
pay everything except a couple nights lodging and meals.
Mr. Lanham explained this is something that they do regularly
for local government officials. Mayor Hutto requested
Council permission to attend this tour.
