City Manager's Report
Safety Bulletin - Council was provided with a copy of
a safety bulletin which indicated for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 1982, there was a twenty (20 %) percent
_ reduction in employees' on- the -job injury and a twenty -nine

30113 -2
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
Houston Lighting and Power Company - The cost comparisons
provided by the company for January compared to November and
December reflected cost of $66.64 for a user of 1,000 KWH
compared to $78.01 for November and $76.54 for December.
Councilman Cannon pointed out that in the month of
October, there was an over recovery of $25,000,000 of which _
Houston Lighting and Power Company's customers received no r
rebate.
Councilman Philips stated that he would hope that the
PUC under Governor White's direction would move toward
making the company more accountable for the efficient use
of fuel, as well as purchase at the best price.
West District Wastewater Treatment Plant - Final inspection
of this facility was accomplished on January 12 by the
consulting engineer and representatives of the City of Baytown.
All was determined to be in order.
A change order was approved on the project in the West
District which Naylor is performing and a new completion
schedule has been submitted with a completion date of
April 7, 1983. Other rehabilitation work that is underway
in the West District is about seventy -eight (78 %) percent
complete.
Sliplining - Sliplining in the area of East James, East
Texas and Roseland Oaks is about seventy -two (72 %) percent
complete. The other sliplining contract which involves the
sliplining of lines in Eva Maud, Whispering Pines and along
Alexander Drive has been completed.
Caldwell Street - This contract has been completed with
exception of cleanup.
1982 Street Improvement Program - For the most part this
project is complete with the exception of Aron Street. All
other streets have been surfaced. Cleanup does remain on
the project.
Glen Meadow Drainage Project - This project is about
thirty (30 %) percent complete.

Questions and Comments from Council
In response to an inquiry from Council regarding the
status of the sign ordinance, Mr. Lanham stated that it
would be necessary to have another work session and that he
would hope to be ready for that in another two weeks.
30113 -3
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
Mr. Lanham, in response to Council inquiry, explained
that the work on East James Street is being performed by
city crews and a contractor. The contractor has installed
about 490 feet of pipe on East James and has about 300 feet
remaining. There were major obstructions in the line which
had to be eliminated prior to performing sliplining. City
crews are open cutting and installing intermediate portions
of sewer pipe (about 300 feet) that could not be sliplined.
Twenty -five (25%) percent of the work has been completed.
Councilman Cannon brought up the fact that the Lemley
baby had been rejected for treatment in Houston and suggested
some thought by Council as to what could be done to cure
that situation. Council determined that the Administration
should be in contact with the local medical association in
this regard and that the county should be encouraged to take
a hard look at the capacity for care of premature infants.
Consider Authorization to Advertise for Bids for City of
Baytown's Insurance Needs
Council had previously been furnished with a copy of
the report prepared by The Wyatt Company on risk management
and insurance program for the City of Baytown. Council had
discussed that report during a work session prior to the
Council meeting and had reviewed specifications. The Admin-
istration recommended that Council authorize the advertisement
for bids for City of Baytown's insurance coverage.
Councilman Fuller moved that the Administration be
authorized to advertise for bids for City of Baytown
insurance coverage in line with the study performed by The
Wyatt Company; Councilman Cannon seconded the motion. The
vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -1, Abandoning a Portion
of North Sixth Street
The Administration was contacted by a person representing
the property owner regarding a two -foot encroachment into
the City of Baytown's street right of way on Sixth Street.
All utility companies have been contacted and report that it
would be no problem for the encroachment to be abandoned.
An appraisal was performed. The Administration recommended
Council approval and payment by the property owner of $100,
which is the minimum payment allowable by ordinance for
abandonment of city -owned property. The tract of land being
considered for abandonment is 21.4 feet in length and 2.1
feet in width. The building encroaching on the property is
a garage. The property is in process of being sold and the
title company is insisting the matter be resolved.
Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Philips seconded the motion. The vote follows:

Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -2, Authorizing a
Contract with First Presbyterian Church of Goose Creek

Council had authorized the support of the operation and
maintenance of transportation program for senior citizens to
the extent of $15,000 from revenue sharing funds and $11,000
toward the senior citizens nutrition center for hot meals.
These two contracts are annual contracts.
Randy Strong, City Attorney, explained that on prior
contracts, the City had required the contractor to carry
Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance with limits
of $100,000; $300,000 and $100,000. That has been changed
in compliance with the recommendation of the insurance
consultant to a $500,000 combined single limit. This is the

Hold Public Hearing on Protest of Application for Wine and
Beer Retailer's Permit at 100 West Baker Road
Mayor Hutto called the public hearing to order concerning
the application for Wine and Beer Retailer's Permit at
100 West Baker Road. All those persons interested in testi-
fying during the hearing were given ample opportunity to
sign the register in the lobby. Afterwhich, Mayor Hutto
administered the oath to those desiring to testify. He
explained that the hearing was being conducted in compliance
with Section 4.14 of the Code of Ordinance and Section 1141
of the Alcoholic Beverage Code for the purpose of receiving
evidence and public input prior to making a recommendation,
if any, to the Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Mayor Hutto
encouraged each speaker to be brief and to the point and
informed those present that a recording was being made of
the proceeding.
Knox Askins, Attorney for Angel Brothers, Inc., applicant
for Wine and Beer Retailer's Permit at 100 West Baker Road,
spoke in favor of the application on behalf of Angel Brothers.
First, he stated that the application is framed as an on- premise
beer license for a facility which will be a combination
convenience grocery store, self- service gasoline station.
The applicants presently have three establishments of this
type in Baytown and have been in this type business in
Baytown for about 15 years. The reason for the application
for an on- premises license, even though this will not be a
club or lounge is that it is quite common for those in this
type business to secure on- premise rather than off- premise
beer license for the reason that if a customer purchases
a beer in one of the stores and opens the beer before
leaving the property lines of the establishment, this is
considered to be consumption on premises. Although the
applicant has no intention to have a sit -down facility,
in keeping with almost every convenience store owner /operator,
application is being made for on- premise permit as a matter
of protection.
Mr. Askins emphasized that this application was in no
manner an application to operate a lounge and the applicant
would have no objection if Council were to approve the
application contingent that no lounge -type operation would
exist at that location.
The location of the establishment is 100 West Baker
Road which is near the intersection of North Main Street
in a heavily developed commercial area. Mr. Askins pointed
out that the petition contained only five signatures of
persons residing within 300 feet of the proposed location
and that there are no churches or schools within that distance.
30113 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
He stated that from reading the petition, it appeared that the
signers were objecting to the sale of alcoholic beverages at
this location whether on or off - premise. He reminded Council
that the issue is not wet /dry since the voters of Baytown had
decided that Baytown would be a "wet area."
The petition cites a number of violations all but two
belong to Mr. Angel's brother. This record is extremely
good since the chances are that someone with false identifi-
cation could purchase beer illegally at anytime. Since, in
Mr. Askin's opinion, there was no evidence presented within
the petition that would be relevant reason to deny the
applicant, and since the applicants have an excellent record
as citizens of Baytown and businessmen, he urged that Council
vote favorably on the application.
In response to an inquiry from Council, Mr. Askins stated
that to his knowledge, the applicant had complied with all
requirements of the City.
Councilman Johnson pointed out that Mr. Angel would
probably construct the facility at that location whether Council
voted favorably on this application or not. Mr. Askins
responded that the applicant would need Council approval
since he did intend to sell beer.
W. M. Green, 11 Dent, Baytown, Texas, referred to the
petition and the six (6) items specified in the petition as
examples of what could happen with an on- premise license at
that location. He pointed out that once the application
would be approved, the applicant could elect to set up tables
and allow people to congregate and drink on the parking area.
If this were to happen, there would be cases of intoxication
which would be a hindrance to others. He also pointed out
that this location is adjacent to a residential area and
very near Sterling High School. There are small children
that wait adjacent to this business for school buses.
Theresa Moore, 2 Dent, explained that her residence is
across from the proposed location and her property is bounded
by the business on one side. Mrs. Moore stated that the
manner in which the driveway into the business has been
poured would cause the residents some concern with an
on- premise license, along with the fact that there are
children who will be riding bikes in that area and who will
be waiting for school buses at that location. Mrs. Moore
feared that the children would be endangered.
In response to inquiry from Council, the City Attorney
explained that Council does have the authority by State law
to approve applications for the sale of beer. Therefore,
in this case, rather than simply making a recommendation to
the County Judge and Alcoholic Beverage Commission, Council
would be making a determination as to the sale of beer at
that location.
Councilman Philips stated that in most cases in the
past when Council has reviewed applications for alcoholic
beverage permits, the situations involved protecting the
peace where a tavern has caused problems in the neighborhood
due to noise, parking and other problems related to a tavern -type
operation. In hearing both sides, Councilman Philips stated
30113 -7
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
that he was not convinced that denying the application would
change the circumstances in the neighborhood. There are
already alcoholic beverages available for sale at nearby
outlets. The fact that the applicant is saying that no
lounge atmosphere or music will be provided to encourage
people to stay at that location and consume alcoholic beverages
persuaded him to say that the applicant would be doing a
minimum thing with sale of alcoholic beverages, would be
keeping the peace and would not create a tavern -type atmosphere
there. For those reasons, Councilman Philips moved to
approve the application for on- premise license.
Councilman Fuller stated that legally he could see no
way that the application could be denied.
Councilman Philips reiterated that approving or denying
the application will not change the circumstances that there
are outlets existing in the area for sale of alcoholic
beverages.
Councilman Simmons stated that there is legislation
being proposed that would preclude any convenience -type
store unless there are provisions made for seats and tables
being granted an on- premise permit.
Councilman Fuller seconded the motion.
Councilman Cannon stated that he could support application
for an off - premise license, but because of the nearness of
the high school, he could not support an on- premise license.
The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, and Fuller
Mayor Hutto
Nays: Councilman Cannon
Mayor Hutto closed the public hearing and recessed for
five minutes. When the meeting reconvened, the following
business was transacted:
Consider Proposed Resolution Nos. 824, 825, 826 and 827,
Approving Creation of San Jacinto Place Utility District
Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 Respectively
Council held a work session previously with representa-
tives of Pacer Development Company regarding the possible
formation of four municipal utility districts in the vicinity
of San Jacinto Mall. During that work session, discussion
centered around the fact that the owners would like to form
municipal utility districts in order to provide funds for a
portion of development costs. The owners have indicated a
willingness, if the City of Baytown would permit the formation
of these districts, to permit Baytown to annex the areas.
At the time of annexation by the city, the districts would
discontinue taxation. The Administration did meet with
representatives of Pacer Development on several occasions.
The documents presented to Council prior to the meeting are
based on those meetings and the staff feels that Baytown's
interests are protected, along with those of the developer.
30113 -8
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
Randy Strong, City Attorney, reviewed the documents for
Council. He mentioned that the initial document as to each
district is the petition to the city that a municipal utility
district be created which documents describe the general
nature of the work to be performed in each district - -
construction of waterworks, sanitary sewer systems and
drainage systems, along with estimated costs for development.
Attached to the petition is a description of the area being
proposed for inclusion in the municipal utility district,
along with a resolution for Council consideration to create
each of the four districts. This resolution is very similar
to past resolutions presented for creation of municipal
utility districts. The resolution contains the City's
requirements and conditions under which the district may
issue bonds and what interest rate at which those bonds may
be issued. The resolution specifies that the Director of
Public Works must approve plans and specifications for
construction of water, sanitary sewer and drainage facilities
within the district. Those facilities are required to be
constructed in accordance with City of Baytown specifications,
and the resolution allows the city to inspect during construction.
Prior to the sale of any lot or parcel within the district,
approval of the Planning Commission must be obtained, a plat
must be recorded in the Deed Records of Harris County and
the district must otherwise comply with all rules and regulations
of the Planning Department. Added to these particular
resolutions, is the provision that prior to any of the
districts issuing bonds or other obligations that are to be
paid out of revenues, the districts must submit for City
Council review and approval a water and sewer rate feasibility
study.
Another condition of the resolutions is following
creation of the district and prior to the sale of bonds, the
districts will sign the allocation agreements attached to
the resolutions. The allocation agreement is very similar
for all four of the districts. What this does is allow the
city at some point in the future to annex the district,
bring it within the city limits of the City of Baytown and
tax the property. The district would continue to exist as a
separate district, providing water and sewer service to its
customers to allow the district time to pay off its bonded
indebtedness. In effect, the city would be annexing the
district but would not be assuming its bonded indebtedness.
The city will contract with the districts to provide sewer
service. The districts will obtain water from Baytown Area
Water Authority. Under the allocation agreements, initially
the districts would not be annexed. There would be some
time period before the city would annex the district.
During that period the district would collect ad valorem
taxes. Upon annexation, the district would cease the collection
of ad valorem taxes. However, the district would continue
to collect revenues for water and sewer service to pay for
bonded indebtedness.
Article I of the allocation agreement provides that
upon repayment of all the district's obligation, the district
and the city will take steps necessary to dissolve the
district. Earlier in that article, requirements are discussed.
One requirement is that the city may not annex the district
at all until at least ninety (900) percent of the facilities
30113 -9
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
for which bonds have been issued have been installed or
annexation may take place after some specified time period.
Article 1182 -c.1 of State law specifies that the only step
necessary to dissolve a district is for City Council by two -
thirds majority vote to pass an ordinance dissolving the
district. Upon this dissolution, the city would take over
the assets of the district.
The Administration recommended approval of the proposed
resolutions. Mr. Lanham called Council's attention to the
fact that the allocation agreement provided that the city
and district agreed that the city may annex all of the
territory within the district at the earlier of such time as
at least ninety (90 %) percent of the facilities for which
district bonds had been authorized are installed, or five
years after the date of issuance of any obligations to
finance the facilities. The Administration requested Council
guidance in that regard. Mr. Lanham mentioned that the only
existing similar situation is the Industrial Districts where
the policy is that in the case of new industries, no taxes
are paid the first year and 1/3 of the anticipated value is
paid the second, third and fourth years, which provides a
four -year moratorium.
Councilman Fuller moved to adopt the proposed resolutions
with the modification in the allocation agreements that the
time at which the City may annex be four years rather than
five. Councilman Philips seconded the motion.
Dan Sharp, representative of Pacer Development, was
present and indicated the company would be agreeable with
this modification. The vote follows:

Consider Approval of Grant Amendment for Central Sewer
District Systematic Sewer System Evaluation Survey
Council took action previously to apply for a grant to
continue the Central District work. Ivan Langford, Consulting
Engineer, explained that approval was being sought for grant
amendment in order that the city may proceed with participation
in the EPA Construction Grant Program for performing the
Central Sewer District Systematic Sewer System Evaluation
Survey. This was done in the West District and as a result
of that, the city obtained grant funds for sewer system
rehabilitation. This was not done in the East District
because it would not have been cost effective under EPA
formula. However, the city is still attempting to
rehabilitate sewer lines on basis of deterioration in the
East District. The estimated costs for the Systematic Sewer
System Evaluation Survey would be $496,269.24, which includes
fixed fee contract of $32,000 for engineering services. If
the grant amendment is acceptable, EPA will pay seventy -five
(75 %) percent of the $496,269.24, leaving $124,067.31 as the
city's share. The city's portion will be funded from the
Sanitary Sewer Grant Fund. The survey will consist basically
of smoke testing the Central Sewer District, limited televising
(between 5% to 10%), cleaning of lines, quantification
testing, field evaluations, a physical inspection of all
manholes that can be located, noting the condition of the
manhole and the materials that the manhole is composed of.
Some of the manholes will not be located, but where sewers
come together, there should be a manhole. Some manholes will
not be entered because of structurally bad conditions.
30113 -11
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
Council had previously dropped the Central District from the
EPA Grant Program but it was determined that seventy -five
(75`}0) percent funding could be available. Once the study
is made, the city can go forward to complete the facility
plan and the Environmental Assessment to complete the
Step 1 services for the Central Sewer District.
In response to an inquiry from Council, Mr. Langford
stated that the engineers must furnish documentation as to
all costs. Mr. Lanham mentioned that the City of Baytown
would have an individual to monitor the contract. The
Administration recommended approval of grant amendment for
Central Sewer District Systematic Sewer Evaluation Survey.
Councilwoman Wilbanks moved for approval of grant
amendment for Central Sewer District Systematic Sewer
Evaluation Survey. Councilman Simmons seconded the motion.

Consider Authorization to Advertise for Bids for 1982 -83
Sanitary Sewer Sliplining - Phase II
Several areas of the city have been experiencing collapsed
sewer line problems. Those have been put together into one
program, totaling an estimated $90,000. Areas involved are
1400 linear feet of 12 inch line on West Sterling from South
Jones to Felton; 358 feet of 12 inch line on Defee from
Felton to Hemphill; 245 feet of 12 inch line on Hemphill from
Defee to West Texas; 1440 of 6 inch line between West Main
and Bolster from Thibodaux to Lee Drive; 460 feet of 6 inch
pipe on Linwood, 460 feet of 8 inch pipe on Linwood. The
Administration requested authorization to advertise for bids.
Councilman Simmons moved to authorize the Administration
to advertise for bids for 1982 -83 Sanitary Sewer Sliplining -
Phase II; Councilman Philips seconded the motion. The vote
follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Annual Gasoline and
Diesel Fuel Contract
The ordinance was written to provide Council with the
option of awarding the contract; however, the Administration
recommended that bids be rejected and that the Administration
be authorized to advertise for bids on another basis.
30113 -12
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
The City of Baytown requests bids on gasoline and diesel
fuel every year. Due to market conditions, the successful
bidders have not been able to give the city a price that
would be in effect for a whole year. Bids have been awarded
in the past on the basis of low bidder who gave a bid that
was good for thirty (30) days. After that time, the bidder
could change the billing to the city as the market changed.
The Purchasing Department has worked very diligently to
derive a method by which the city could obtain competitive
bids and at the same time have those bids tied to something.
For instance, the city's depository contract bids are tied
to treasury bill rates. Purchasing came up with platts
oilgram pricing which the Administration felt all potential
bidders were familiar with. There is a publication which
comes out on a regular basis that provides this information.
A pre -bid conference was held with prospective bidders
and there were no objections expressed. The Administration
felt the companies would be able to bid on that basis. Prior
to receipt of bids, the Administration was contacted by one
of the vendors indicating that that company would not be
able to bid. When the bids were received, only one bid was
actually received that was based on the city's specifications.
A no bid was received and another company bid, but took
exception to the city's specifications. Two other potential
bidders indicated that they were unable to bid. Exxon felt
that the bid should be tied to terminal or rack price.
Dennis Trigg, owner of HTB Petroleum Products, the only
company that had bid to City of Baytown specifications
addressed Council. Mr. Trigg stated that standard rack
pricing is what the major oil companies will sell to a given
consumer at a time and place of delivery for their product.
Platts oilgram is a publication which takes the average prices
of products that have been traded in the previous 24- hours.
When the city went out for bids, a pre -bid conference was
held at City Hall. O'Roark, Exxon, Gulf and HTB all had
representatives present. No one indicated that their company
could not bid on that basis. HTB did bid and bid exactly
to specifications. Using the base period of November 30,
platts low for regular grade gasoline was $ .90 a gallon,
exclusive of taxes. HTB bid this to the city at 3.7 over
low water platts. Exxon stated that they could not bid
on low water platt basis, but would bid the product at
$ .913 per gallon as of December 30, 1982 which is 30 days
after platts were issued. Gasoline in that 30 -day period
dropped $ .575; therefore, HTB could have lowered their bid
by $ .575 and still have come in under the Exxon bid.
In response to an inquiry from Council, Mr. Trigg stated
that rack price to a distributor means that the distributor
can go to the refiner and purchase the product at that rack
and sell to whomever. Exxon would have a rack price for a
wholesale distributor, rack price for a consumer which would
be the City of Baytown, and a rack price for retail service
stations. That rack price is similar to platts and changes
from day to day.
30113 -13
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
In the discussion that followed, Council discussed the
possibility of the City purchasing gasoline and diesel fuel
as needed by calling to obtain the best-price. However, the
Charter of the City of Baytown would prohibit this type
purchase. Purchases of this type must be made on a formal
bid basis. The possibility of bidding based on rack prices
was also discussed, but it was noted that there is no
publication indicating what that price would be and that
price would vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Mr. Lanham stated that he felt the plan that the
Administration had developed was a good plan, but perhaps
a bit premature. Mr. Trigg responded that this was not
the first circumstance of a governmental body using oil
platts to obtain bids because Harris County receives bids
on that basis.
Councilman Philips moved to rebid the contract;
Councilman Simmons seconded the motion.
In response to an inquiry from Council, Mr. Lanham
stated that the Administration would rebid the item on
rack price basis.
Councilman Fuller stated that he could not support that
because platts oilgram is a nationally recognized figure
published daily, whereas rack prices vary from manufacturer
to manufacturer on a daily basis.
Mayor Hutto stated that he could support the motion if
the item would be rebid on a platts oilgram basis. Councilman
Philips had no problem with this.
Councilman Cannon stated that he could not support
that because that is the basis on which the bid was taken;
Councilman Johnson concurred.
Councilman Philips stated that it appeared that perhaps
not all parties involved were really certain of how to bid
on the basis requested. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips and Simmons
Mayor Hutto
Nays: Council members Johnson, Wilbanks, Fuller
and Cannon
Councilman Fuller made the point that all prospective
bidders were invited to a pre -bid conference where each
was informed how to bid the item and there were no objections.
HTB Petroleum bid the item as specified by the City of
Baytown.
Councilman Johnson moved to adopt the ordinance,
awarding the contract to HTB Petroleum; Councilman Fuller
seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Establishing School Speed Zone
on Bayway Drive for Baytown Junior School
The school district was contacted regarding participation
in the cost of flashing signals at this location, but favored
establishing a regular school speed zone. The temporary
signs are in effect from 7:15 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from
2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Administration, after checking
with the school superintendent, recommended that the school
speed zone be established for 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and
3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The school district has requested that
the crossing be painted and that for the first few days the
police department pay special attention to that area. The
Administration recommended approval of the ordinance.
Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Mr. Lanham stated that the crossing would be painted and
that the police department would work the crossing the first
few days to call attention to the school speed zone.

Consent Agenda
Jerry Fletcher, Community Development Planner, in
response to a question from Council, explained that the
problems that Mr. Plummer had been experiencing with his
workers was simply a misunderstanding between he and the
workers concerning on what basis the workers were to be
paid. Since that time, Mr. Plummer had not used the same
crew and is no longer experiencing problems.
30113 -15
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
Councilman Simmons expressed reservations with regard
to awarding the contract for Annual Concrete Pipe to General
Concrete because he was not sure that that company could
provide the 24 ", 30" and 36" pipe requested. He pointed out
that the difference between the low bidder with 1/2 day
delivery and the next low bidder with 1/2 day delivery was
only $242. In an emergency situation, if the pipe is not
available, this could cost the city much more than the
difference in the two bids.
A representative of the company was present to state
that the company does stock those sizes of pipe and the
company has several different places to obtain pipe. He
stated that the company would honor the bid.
Mr. Lanham stated that if an order is placed by the
city which the company could not honor, the Administration
would report to Council for further action.
Councilman Simmons stated that he was of the opinion
that the bid of General Concrete was the lowest, but perhaps
not the best bid. Therefore, he moved to reject the low bid
and that the contract be awarded to the next low bidder,
Whites Supply, since Gifford Hill was disqualified due to
five (5) days delivery. The motion died for lack of second.
Councilman Fuller moved to adopt the ordinance awarding
the annual concrete pipe contract to General Concrete Products
Company; Councilman Philips seconded the motion.
With regard to the question concerning the bid for
purchase of a 1/2 ton pickup for the utility department, no
alternate bid had been requested. The company had elected
to bid an alternate for a bed which was one foot longer than
specified. Since Council had determined to remove Item f
from the Consent Agenda, the motion on that item was voted
on after consideration of the Consent Agenda. Council
considered the Consent Agenda Items a through a and g through
m as follows:
a. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -6, will award the
contract for the rehabilitation at 109 Graham
Street. Four bids were received. Prosper Brothers
submitted the low bid of $7,608.80.
We recommend the low bidder, Prosper Brothers, be
awarded this contract.
b. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -7, will award the
contract for rehabilitation at 323 East Gulf
Street. Four bids were received. Prosper Brothers
submitted the low bid in the amount of $6,967.22.
We recommend the low bidder, Prosper Brothers, be
awarded this contract.
C. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -8, will award the
contract for the rehabilitation at 210 W. Francis.
Four bids were received. Mark Plummer submitted
the low bid of $6,095.00
30113 -16
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
We recommend the low bidder, Mark Plummer, be
awarded this contract.
d. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -9, will award the
contract for the rehabilitation at 1004 Johnston.
Four bids were received. Mark Plummer submitted
the low bid of $6,900.00.
We recommend the low bidder, Mark Plummer be
awarded this contract.
e. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -10, will award the
bid for the purchase of flexible base material.
Three bids were received. Parker Brothers &
Company, Inc. submitted the low bid of $63,000 for
7,000 tons of flexible base material at F.O.B.
plantsite ($9.00 /ton) and alternative one of
$83,510 for 7,000 tons of flexible base material
at F.O.B., 1601 West Main Street in Baytown
($11.93 /ton).
We recommend the low bidder, Parker Brothers &
Co., Inc., be awarded this contract.
g. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -12, will award the
bid for annual brass fittings contract. We received
six (6) bids. Jones Supply submitted the low bid
of $23,209.18. However Jones Supply does indicate
a delivery time of stock to eight weeks with a
factory shipment. It also requires a minimum
order of 500 pounds. Golden Triangle, who is the
next low bid with a bid of $24,577.80 does not
require a minimum order and has a delivery time
which meets specifications.
We recommend Golden Triangle be awarded this
contract.
h. Proposed Ordinance No. 3011 -13, will award the bid
for the annual photographic supplies contract. We
received one bid. That was the bid of Southside
Camera Center in the amount of $12,719.
We recommend Southside Camera Center be awarded
this contract.
i. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -14, will award the
bid for the purchase of rear loading solid waste
collection vehicles. We received three (3) bids.
Davis Trucks & Equipment submitted the low bid of
$92,970. The Council has budgeted $110,000 for
the purchase of these bids.
We recommend the low bidder, Davis Trucks &
Equipment, be awarded this contract.
30113 -17
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 13, 1983
j. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -15, will award the
bid for the annual water meter contract. We
received six (6) bids on fourteen items. Various
vendors were the low bidder on different items.
The City's recommendations are as follows:
Items 1, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13, we recommend Neptune
Water Meter Company.
Items 2 and 6, we recommend Rockwell International.
On items 3 and 4, we recommend Ernie Bradley Sales
& Service.
In items 5, 7, and 14, we recommend Utility Supply.
On item 10 we recommend Hershey Products, Inc.
The total bid of all these items is $60,016.
k. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -16, will award the
bid for the annual cement stabilized sand contract.
Two bids were received. Keown Supply submitted
the low bid of $71,125. Keown Supply is located
in Beaumont, Texas and is located 72 miles from
Lee Drive. The Public Works Dept. feels that this
distance is too far to travel with stabilized
sand. This is based on the fact that stabilized
sand will harden during the time involved. Therefore,
we feel it is not feasible because of the time and
money involved to award the bid to Keown Supply.
The second lowest bid was that of Anahuac Towing
and Shell in the amount of $76,375. They are
located 8 miles from Lee Drive.
We recommend Anahuac Towing and Shell be awarded
this contract.
1. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -17, will award the
bid for a 1/2 ton pickup for the Utility Dept.
Six (6) bids were received. San Jacinto Ford
submitted the low bid of $8,103.37. Council has
budgeted $9,550 for this purchase.
We recommend the low bidder, San Jacinto Ford, be
awarded this contract.
M. Proposed Ordinance No. 30113 -18, will award the
bid for the annual calcium hypochlorite contract.
We received four (4) bids. Van Waters & Rogers
submitted the low bid of $12,411.25.
We recommend the low bidder, Van Waters & Rogers,
be awarded this contract.

Consider Approving Baker Road Beautification Plan
To beautify Baker Road, the plan is to plant approximately
250 trees -- pines, red and white crepe myrtles in the medians.
No flower beds will be developed so maintenance will be
minimum. Estimated cost of the project is $5,000. Beautify
Baytown Association is committed to an $800 donation and the
Clean City Commission has agreed to begin a drive to acquire
donations from entities located along Baker Road. At the
present time the Administration is seeking approval of the
plan with a goal of receiving necessary funding from local
organizations to fund the project.

City Manager's Report
Cable Television (Group W) - The Administration had
received a brief report from the manager of Group W, the
cable television company that serves Baytown. He reported
that as of January 18, all existing customers have been
changed to the new plant and the company is in process of
taking the old system out a little at a time. It appears
that the change over will be completed before the March
deadline.
Councilman Philips commented that the company needs to
be contacted regarding the unslightly condition of the
company's lot off Main Street. There is also an unused
spool of cable which has been near the intersection of James
and Danubina Streets for several months. He felt that
perhaps the company had simply lost that spool.
30127 -2
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 27, 1983
Houston Lighting and Power Company - Council had received
a copy of the fuel cost increase that will become effective
in February which is an increase from January of $3.24.
Council was also furnished with a copy of a notice filed
by the light company regarding their quarterly filing with
the Public Utility Commission. The company is requesting approval
of the commission for cost of fuel from affiliated interests.
The City Attorney explained that there had been a recent
question or dispute over whether HL&P should be allowed to
pass through under its rate as to fuel purchased from an
affiliated interest, Utility Fuels, Inc. which both companies
HL&P and Utility Fuels, Inc. are owned by Houston Industries.
Therefore, a hearing has been scheduled for March 1, 1983,
before the PUC. At that time, the PUC will be looking at
all the cost factors incurred by Utility Fuels and rate of
return that should be allowed to Utility Fuels for sale of
coal, etc. to HL&P. In a sense this will be like a mini
rate hearing, only the PUC will be looking at Utility Fuels
rather than HL&P. There is some disagreement between the
General Counsel of HL &P and some of the cities as to how
this should be handled. The City of Houston and the City
of Lake Jackson have been working on this. Both have
intervened on March 1 and both cities are planning to have
separate hearings to adopt an ordinance as to what rate of
return should be allowed Utility Fuels. At some point,
Baytown may want to adopt its -own ordinance designating
what rate of return should be allowed Utility Fuels. There
is also a rule pending before the PUC which would set up
quarterly hearings on the overall fuel cost adjustments.
That will be a different hearing. The hearing on March 1
only applies to fuel purchased from this affiliated company.
Texas Municipal League - Council had been furnished
information regarding a legislative seminar to be held in
Austin on February 14. Mr. Lanham stated that any Council
member who wished to attend could notify his office and
arrangements would be made accordingly.
Drainage - Glen Meadow Subdivision Outfall System is
about seventy (70 %) percent complete. City crews have
completed a number of projects. Work has been completed
on Milner and Dallas. The Hardin Road and Oakwood projects
are about fifty (50 %) percent complete. Work has begun on
a project on Carriage Lane and on Mapleton. Minor drainage
work has been completed on Airhart, Ash and Riggs.
1982 Street Improvement Program - The contractor on this
project, Skrla, Inc., has completed all but cleanup. The
project is ninety -nine (99 %) percent complete.
Craigmont /Ponderosa Water Line Project - The contractor
on this project is in the process of installing meters to
tie into the new lines. The lines did pass pressure tests,
as well as the bacteriological tests.
Sliplining - The contractor that is working on East
James expects to complete installation on January 28. In
the Roseland Oaks area, the contractor continues to work on
the six -inch lines. Approximately 5440 linear feet in that
area has been sliplined; one 350 foot linear section remains
to be completed.
30127 -3
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 2 7, 1983
Sanitary Sewer on Garth Road - The contractor on this
project has completed about ninety -five (95 %) percent of
that project.
Questions and Comments of Council
Councilman Fuller commented that the Administration
would need to check to make certain that the sliplining
contractors are cleaning up after completion of the work.
Yards have been left unlevelled.
Councilman Johnson recognized Sergeant Jones of the
Baytown Police Department for being recipient of the 100 Club
Award and asked that his personnel file be updated to include
this information.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Philips, Mr.
Lanham stated that the City of Baytown does have an emergency
procedures plan in the event of crisis with the water system.
In response to the questions from Councilman Cannon
regarding the reason that East James Street has been in a
state of disrepair for such a long period, Mr. Lanham explained
that after a contract had been let for sliplining along
James, areas were discovered that had completely deteriorated.
Therefore, it became necessary to break the street to replace
the parts of the line which could not be sliplined. All of
that line has been replaced. Now, the concrete can be
replaced.
Care for premature infants - Councilman Cannon stated
that he had checked further into the events which took place
prior to the death of the Lemley baby. He had been informed
that there were five (5) beds at Jefferson Davis Hospital
when the Lemley baby arrived. These beds were held for
infants yet to be born. He felt that this was unfair treatment
at a charitable institution. He felt that at such an institu-
tion, the practice should be first come, first served.
Based on what he had learned, he felt that this type occurrence
happens on a regular basis. Councilman Cannon stated that
he felt that the city needed to work with local hospitals to
try to turn this situation around. He suggested that perhaps
the local hospitals could work through H -GAC to obtain
funding to establish a neonatal unit for the Baytown area.
He suggested that charity hospital care should be provided
for the Baytown area, but did not really know the mechanism
to accomplish this.
Councilman Fuller suggested two -way communication with
the county to determine if satellite charity care could be
provided in the Baytown area.
Councilman Simmons suggested that Commission Fonteno's
office should be contacted. He stated that he was in atten-
dance at a hospital district board meeting where the hospital
district administrator outlined that there had been an epidemic
of new births with limited neonatal space. Therefore, a
bond issue would be proposed in the fall to address that.
30127 -4
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 27, 1983
That would be the City of Baytown's opportunity and chance
to support the bond issue with a provision specifically that
certain funds be allocated toward care in the Baytown area.
Councilman Simmons pointed out that even though this is a
charitable facility, the mothers who were in the hospital to
deliver their children had preregistered to be there and
were therefore, entitled to the bed space.
Councilman Cannon responded that this was an emergency
case and the bed space that was available should have been
provided.
Receive City of Baytown Audit Report for the Period Ending
September 30, 1982
Dave Start, representative of Gerace, Hullum, Start and
Company, Certified Public Accountants, stated that the first
thing he wanted to address was the question raised by Councilman
Simmons when the financial statements were presented last,
dealing with vested benefits that result from accruing sick
leave, vacation and holiday pay. That information could be
found in Footnote 2, Page 9. Last year, Council had been
told that Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) had
issued a statement indicating that those type liabilities
should be recorded and charged to earnings by commercial
enterprises, but that they had backed off from municipal
entities and were waiting on the National Council on Governmental
Accounting to issue its position. That position has now
been issued. The National Council has determined that for
fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1982, which will
be the City of Baytown's 1983 -84 fiscal year, those liabilities
should be recognized and recorded in the balance sheet. In
the instance of governmental type funds, one would record as
a liability through a charge to fund balance, the current
portion of that vested benefit that would be expected to be
liquidated in an ensuing year. The balance of that liability
would be recorded in the general long -term debt fund just as
the general obligation bonds are. The portion of that
vested benefit that applies to the enterprise funds should
be recognized in the balance sheet in those funds and charged
to fund equity, just as a commercial enterprise would do.
The National Council has suggested that early implementation
is desirable, but is not requiring that implementation for
cities until the year ending September 30, 1984. The liability
that is disclosed in the footnotes is a good estimate with
the existing payroll system. It should be a relatively easy
programming function to produce a fairly exacting measurement
of what that vested benefit actually is.
Councilman Simmons stated that in looking at the footnotes
under vested employee benefits, the total of the accrued
vested sick, vacation and holiday pay as of September 30,
total $1,874,000. Looking at last year's figures, that
represents an increase of $202,000 in those vested benefits.
He stated that he had no arguments with vacation or holiday
pay, but he had real reservations about the accrual of unused
sick time. Of that $1,874,000, 75% of that total is accrued
sick pay. In this particular year from last year, 68.3% of
that $202,000 was in accrued sick pay. Councilman Simmons
inquired from where was a person paid who terminated employment?
30127 -5
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 27, 1983
Mr. Lanham responded that an amount of money is included
in the budget each year for that purpose. If more retirement
or resignations are experienced than anticipated, that
budget account overruns. Presently, there is very little
employee turnover.
Councilman Simmons stated that he did not want all
employees in the room who work for the city to become unduly
alarmed because of what he said, but the City's policy is to
grant 15 days sick leave which is to cover minor illness
like colds, flu, etc. However, two things should be addressed
such as in the event of extended illness or injury, unless
incurred on the job where workmen's compensation would take
over, that after the 15 days of sick leave is used, then the
employee gets hospitalization and everything, but would be
off pay.
Mr. Lanham responded that once an employee uses
all his sick leave, he is off pay.
Councilman Simmons said that he really felt that the
program should be likened unto car insurance, where
one pays a premium with a deductible and is not really
concerned with the small amounts, but if the whole car
is demolished you want to be protected. He continued
that he really didn't have the answer, but when he
looked at sick days, if one is legitimately sick, one
is entitled to that pay, but if that is not used, the
employee should not be paid for it. He mentioned that
the County does not accrue sick days. An employee is
allowed so much sick time for service. He also mentioned
that the point had been made that if the city were to
allow 15 sick days which would not accrue, the employee
would use the sick days which would be a loss of time.
Councilman Simmons stated that this would really be a
small percentage of the dedicated city workers. The
way the county handles its program is that if one is
entitled to 30 days, a review committee will review
your record and if your record indicates no abuse,
then if that 30 days is used up, at the discretion of
Commissioner's Court, another 30 days can be allocated.
Secondly, he stated his concern with this increase.
Assuming that the 500 employees of the city remain
static, which it probably will not, accrue this increase
of $138,000 through 10 years, that would represent
$1,300,000 added to the present $1,409,000, for a total
of $3,000,000 in unfunded liability. That amount would
be decreased by those people who are being terminated
and retired, but he did not feel that Council could
look at those figures grow each year, knowing that there
will never be a time of reckoning. Since the bond rating
companies like Moody and Standard and Poors take a
very jaundice eye at unfunded liabilities which
ultimately will effect the bond rating. He pointed out
if the trend continues, possibly in ten (10) years
there could be $5,000,000 there. If the percentages
would hold, three - fourths of it would be accrued sick
leave. Therefore, Councilman Simmons suggested that
the Administration perform a comparative study over a
ten -year period projecting yearly increases utilizing
the present system of paying 90 days on- termination and
120 on retirement. Mr. Lanham interjected that the
employee could accrue sick leave for use with no limit.
30127 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 27, 1983
Councilman Simmons responded that what he was saying is to
show the increases that the Administration would project
as projected under the present system. Secondly, project on
a ten -year basis, if in the event, Council should say that
the plan should be moderated to like 45 days for termination
and 60 days maximum for retirement. Councilman Simmons
stated that he felt that there needed to be a cap on this
program, but he did not feel that it could really be discussed
intelligently until there were statistics or basis to
determine how this ultimately will be held in line.
Mr. Lanham inquired if while making the study, the
Administration should take into account with respect to fire
and police, there is no choice. Councilman Simmons responded
that since this was a part of State law, civil service
employees would have to be excluded. He added that probably
the study should be based on 500 employees like there would
be no increase for ten years. Councilman Simmons continued
that he really did not know how reliable the information
would be, but he felt that when the figures were produced
it would be pretty amazing. He felt that ultimately acquiring
the figures would lead the City to a plan similar to the
county's to protect the City employees because there is a
small percentage that would ever have catastrophic- illnesses.
This could result in a tremendous savings to the city and
would help city employees in the event they were sick for
60 -days, they would be paid for it.
Councilman Philips stated that in order to get some
prospective on this, probably it would be good to go back in
time for some period to see what the actual hard dollar pay
outs have been so that Council can look to the past to see
what that looks like to get a better fix on what the projection
actually is.
Councilman Simmons inquired on Page 10 regarding the
retirement plan if when speaking of the city, that included
the city's part alone or combined city and employee contributions.
Mr. Start responded that that figure was an amount received
from TMRS as the city's portion only. Councilman Simmons
stated that the reason he was asking for the clarification
was that there had been an $84,000 increase this year over
last in that contribution. Another question that Councilman
Simmons put forth was what does the Net Assets for Benefits
mean? Mr. Start responded that that represented assets of
Baytown's pension plan and the $7,679,000 of vested benefits,
there is in the fund $4,948,000 of that amount. There is a
$2,500,000 unfunded vested benefit at this point that is being
amortized over a twenty -five year period.
Councilman Simmons pointed out that if in the event this
$7,000,000 were due tomorrow, the City would only have the
$4,900,000 to cover that? Mr. Start stated that basically
what that means is if the plan failed today or as of December
31, 1981, the participants in the plan would receive about
2/3 of what current level of benefits would be. 'j
Councilman Philips inquired if the City has an agreement
with Texas Municipal Retirement System that should something
happen to one group of cities or a city that their reserve
would come into plan.
Mr. Start stated that from what he had reviewed, TMRS
is basically a collection of individual funds and City of
Baytown assets would not be used to fund City of Houston
liabilities. Council had no further questions of Mr. Start.

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Appropriating Funds for Brush
Burner Pit Reinforcement
The Administration requested permission several months
ago to advertise for bids for the purchase of steel sheeting
to be used in connection with the city's brush burning operation.
The sheeting has been purchased and installed. Dirt work
around the area has been completed. Therefore, it is
necessary to transfer from Unappropriated Revenue Sharing
Funds, which is derived from the interest earned on investing
revenue sharing funds, $34,777.86. During the first ten
months of operation of the brush burner, the City would have
paid $77,000 in fees and if this figure were to be annualized,
it reflects a savings of $91,000 annually in fees. The city
has more than paid for the cost of this equipment.
Councilman Philips commended the Administration and those
staff members from Public Works for a job well done.

AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OF THE CITY OF
BAYTOWN TO APPROPRIATE $34,777.86, FROM UNAPPROPRIATED SURPLUS
TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION -BRUSH WITHIN REVENUE SHARING
FUNDS, ENTITLEMENT 13; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE
HEREOF.
Mr. Lanham explained that there are funds remaining in
unappropriated revenue sharing surplus. The Administration
would like to advertise for bids on several items some of
which would save money, others are items that are needed.
One of the items would be to take bids to replace the
speaker system in the Council Chamber which the estimated
cost to do this is $6,000. There are two other things that
the Administration would like to do. One involves the fact
that City Hall was burglarized recently; therefore, the
Administration would like to advertise for bids to build
security doors at the two hallways, and for energy savings
an additional set of doors at the entrances to the building.
The total estimate to accomplish these projects is $16,000.
Council had no objections.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing an Inter - Governmental
Agreement with H -GAC for Small Area Transit Study
A copy of the proposed contract had been furnished to
Council. The proposal is to conduct a small area transit
study through an inter - governmental agreement with H -GAC.
This study will be unlike the study made in 1977 in the
this study will include data on non - residents who work or
shop in Baytown.
Mike Weaver, Planner with H -GAC, explained that the
study is two -fold (1) to look at an internal type shuttle
system for the City of Baytown and (2) some type linkage
to the MTA along the I -10 corridor. If the study indicates
that something would be feasible for Baytown, H -GAC would
probably be before Council next year with another contract
to fund a service plan for what it would take to implement
some type service for the residents of Baytown and East
Harris County. The study will involve Baytown, Crosby,
Channelview, North Shore - -the whole East Harris County area.
Numerous options will be considered. One could be to take
the plan to the voters of the City of Baytown to opt into
the MTA or the City could consider contracting with MTA for
a service or a City of Baytown service could be considered.
There is a bill pending before the State Senate which would
allow citizens with over 50,000 population to call a tax
referendum election within those municipalities to have a
transit authority within those cities. From the manner in
which the bill is written, Council would be in charge of
the transit authority.
Councilman Philips commented that Clear Lake has found
this to be a very attractive service. MTA is providing a
small mini bus that transports people to their mall. Council-
man Philips continued that he felt there to be a growing need
for this kind of activity as evidenced by the success of the
senior citizens taxicab service. The Administration recommended
approval of the ordinance.

Consider Proposed Resolution No. 828, Endorsing 9 -1 -1 Concept
for Harris County
The proposed resolution would put the Baytown City Council
on record as endorsing the 9 -1 -1 Concept. This proposal is
intended to speed up the handling of emergency calls and
reduce citizen confusion. The cost for this service is to
be 3% of basic service on the telephone bill.
Councilman Philips stated that that was the only part
of the proposal that caused him difficulty. Council has been
working with the telephone company to get the rates decreased.
He felt that the concept was good, but felt that the county
should fund it. Everyone that owns a telephone will have to
pay for this service, while anyone traveling through the
county could utilize the service. The funding of the program
should come from sales tax or some funding that is more wide
spread than having the telephone user pay for the service.
Mr. Lanham pointed out that the legislation would enab'le
the county to issue bonds.
Mayor Hutto pointed out that the service will be county-
wide; therefore, those citizens of Baytown traveling in
Harris County could utilize the service anywhere within the
county.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 27, 1983
Consider Proposed Resolution No. 829, Supporting Texas
Municipal League Task Force Reform Act Concerning
Amendments to Article 1269M
The Committee of the Texas Municipal League has been
working for several months on possible amendments to 1269M
which is the State law relating to Fire and Police Civil
Service. The Committee's recommended changes or something
similar to what they have proposed will be introduced before
the Legislature. A summary of the proposals had been provided
to Council as follows:
1. To clarify the definitions of "firemen" to insure
that civilian employees not hired in compliance
with article 1269m and who perform non - firefighting
duties within the department shall continue to
remain outside the provisions of article 1269m.
2. To eliminate the three -year residency requirement
for appointment of civil service director.
3. If authorized by the City Council or the legislative
body, to allow the police and fire chief to appoint
qualified officers to the top two positions immediately
below the chief. This amendment would not affect
those individuals currently holding such positions
in a department.
4. Allow City Council to voluntarily establish assignment
pay for employees who are required to perform highly
specialized fire and police functions.
5. To more clearly define the conditions under which a
firefighter or police officer may be considered to
be either temporarily or permanently disabled
and to further establish a time period in which
the position may be declared vacant and again
filled.
6. To remove the Texas residency requirement for fire
chief candidates and to require that any appointee
to that position be eligible to obtain intermediate
certification within two years from the date of
appointment.
7. To allow the Civil Service Commission, on a local
option basis, to establish an alternate promotional
testing procedure which allows that a part of the
overall score be determined by a three person oral
evaluation board selected by the Commission (police
only).
8. To allow the fire and police chiefs to take dis-
ciplinary action against an officer who is charged
with a criminal felony, class (A) or (B) misdemeanor,
or acts involving moral turpitude even though the
alleged act was not discovered for more than six
months from the date of occurrence. The present
law prohibits such action after six months.
30127 -11
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 27, 1983
9. To allow the chiefs of the fire and police departments
the authority to assign "uncompensated duty" on
normal days off to temporarily suspended employees
who request such assignment in lieu of suspension
time.
10. To provide repeal of the provisions of article
1269m in a city by the same method which allows
enactment.
Mr. Lanham stated that these were only proposed changes
and there could very well be other changes made before the
legislative committees. The Administration felt that the
proposed changes would give management in the police and
fire departments some of the tools needed to perform their
jobs as chief administrators of those departments and in
addition, clarifies some provisions that have needed clarification.
The Administration recommended approval of the resolution.
Councilman Philips moved for adoption of the resolution;
Councilman Simmons seconded the motion.
In response to questions of Council, Mr. Lanham stated
that the proposed change with regard to Civil Service Director
would not affect Baytown since the Personnel Director is
also the Director of Civil Service. The difference is that
the present article requires that the director be a resident
of the city for three years and there is no reason for that.
Councilman Cannon pointed out that the amendment which
would allow the police or fire chief to appoint the two positions
immediately below the chief should be one level.
Councilman Cannon also took exception to the amendment
which provided that a firefighter or police officer may be
considered to be either temporarily or permanently disabled
and to further establish a time period in which the position
may be declared vacant and again filled. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, and Fuller
Mayor Hutto
Days: Councilman Cannon
No one in the audience had indicated a desire to speak,
but after Council had acted on the resolution, Mayor Hutto
discovered that Sergeant Shaffer desired to address Council.
Sergeant Shaffer, representing the Police Association, stated
that the police officers could see no advantage whatsoever
to proposed amendment five and felt that there would be no
benefit to any police officer within the State of Texas.
Councilman Cannon pointed out that if the resolution
remained as presently written, the State representatives
would feel that the Baytown City Council was in complete
concurrence with the proposed amendments. Again, he
stipulated his disagreement with the proposed change which
would allow fire and police chiefs to appoint the top two
positions immediately below chief. He felt that the chief
should appoint only one level below chief.
30127 -12
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 27, 1983
Council requested guidance from the City Attorney as to
what action could be taken. The City Attorney advised that
Council could vote to withdraw earlier action or to reject
the proposed resolution and make an entirely different
motion, or Council could vote to attach a letter to be
forwarded with the resolution.
Councilman Fuller moved that the resolution be accom-
panied with a letter identifying the two specific points as
discussed by Council -- that chiefs of the fire and police
departments be allowed to appoint one level below chief
and all reference to the disability provisions be deleted.

Consider Change in Pavement Thickness for Rollingbrook Drive
Extension from Decker Drive to Garth Road
Busch, Hutchison has been working on plans for Rolling -
brook Drive and asked McClelland Engineers, Inc. to make
soil studies in that area. McClelland Engineers have
recommended that rather than have the seven (71') inch concrete
pavement as is the City of Baytown's standard that the thickness
be changed to nine (91') inches. That would result in a cost
increase based on estimates from $2,784,000 to $2,930,000.
The Administration recommended approval of the change.
Norman Dykes, City Engineer, explained that the Engineering
Department had given McClelland Engineers traffic volumes
as projected by the City of Baytown's Planning Department
and this is the design that that company recommended; the
Engineering Department concurred. In talking with highway
department engineers and others, on major thoroughfares
many entities are going to the thicker pavement.
In response to questions from Council, Mr. Dykes
explained that drainage is included as a necessary part of
the project.
Councilman Philips moved to authorize the additional
pavement thickness for Rollingbrook Drive Extension. Council-
man Fuller seconded the motion.
Mr. Lanham responded to a question from Council that the
project would be constructed under the assessment procedure,
but assessment is charged based on enhancement to the property.
Councilman Cannon pointed out that the County had gone
in and put asphalt on Shelton Road which has worked quite well.
Eighteen wheelers use the road extensively without problem.

Consider Master Thoroughfare Plan Revision
The Planning Commission had worked on this for several
weeks and recommended the proposed changes. Council had been
furnished with a copy of the proposed Thoroughfare Plan.
The streets to be designated as major thoroughfares were
shown in black. Major thoroughfares are expected to carry
20,000 vehicles per day or more. Those streets shown in
brown are primary arterials and are expected to carry from
14,001 to just under 20,000 vehicles per day. No collector
roads are being proposed for the revised plan.
Councilman Cannon stated that for long range planning,
the City needed to look toward a through street from Spur
201 to Barkuloo.
Mr. Lanham explained that the master thoroughfare plan
is used by the Planning Commission in considering plats and
is used by the city in developing capital improvement programs,
and it can be used to talk to the county concerning bond
funds to build projects. The Administration recommended
approval.
Councilman Johnson moved for approval of the master
thoroughfare plan revision; Councilman Simmons seconded
the motion. The vote follows:

Consider Plans and Specifications for Quail Hollow Lift
Station and Authorization to Advertise for Bids
Norman Dykes, City Engineer /Director of Public Works,
explained that the Quail Hollow or Baker Road Lift Station
is located just east of Goose Creek on the north side of
Baker Road. It was originally designed as part of the
Quail Hollow Subdivision. It has been added to as that
area has grown. At the same time that this area has expanded
greatly, the lift station on the west side of Goose Creek
which is Craigmont Lift Station and that service area has
also grown causing that lift station to become overloaded.
The Coady Fresh Water District and Decker Terrace pump into
the Craigmont station. The engineers feel that a good plan
would be to take all the flow east of Goose Creek and put
it into the Quail Hollow Station and not let any of that go
into Craigmont. That will relieve some of the load at Craigmont.
30127 -15
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 27, 1983
As development occurs in the area east of Goose Creek, lift
station enlargement fees are being collected as that
growth causes the necessity to enlarge lift stations.
There is budget money, as well as developers money available
to perform this project. The project will provide for
excess capacity for future use.
Mr. Lanham explained to Council why that area went to
the Craigmont plant. At one time there was a sewer treatment
plant that had been constructed by the water district prior
to that area being annexed into the city. This plant served
Craigmont, Country Club and Ponderosa. The treatment plant
was taken out of service a few years ago and a lift station
constructed. The suggested plan will help alleviate some
of the problems at Craigmont. Both lift stations flow to
a large gravity flow line along Goose Creek up to Baker Road.
Ken Streeter, Consultant Engineer with Langford Engineering,
explained that two new raw sewerage pumps would be installed
and that the four inch pumps would be removed. The Adminis-
tration recommended approval of the plan and requested
authorization to advertise for bids.
Councilwoman Wilbanks moved to approve the plans and
to authorize the Administration to advertise for bids;
Councilman Cannon seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon

Consent Agenda
Mr. Lanham explained that on Consent Agenda Item a,
the Administration was not recommending the low bid be
accepted because the difference was only $10 and the
Administration had received conflicting reports concerning
the low bidder. Atlas Enterprises has provided the fourth
of July fireworks since 1977 with excellent performance;
therefore, the Administration recommended that the bid of
Atlas Enterprises be accepted.
Council considered the Consent Agenda as follows:
a. Proposed Ordinance No. 30127 -6, will award the bid
for the purchase of Fourth of July fireworks.
Three (3) bids were received. The low bid was
that of Zambelli Internationale in the amount of
$2,490. The second low bid was that of Atlas
Enterprises which was $2,500. Atlas Enterprises
has provided our fourth of July fireworks since
1977. Due to our past satisfaction with Atlas,
and the minimal difference between these two bids,
and because of the nature of the product and the
unfamiliarity with Zambelli Internationale, we
feel the lowest and best bid for the City of
Baytown for this product is that of Atlas Enterprises.
We recommend Atlas Enterprises be awarded this
contract.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - January 27, 1983
b. Proposed Ordinance No. 30127 -7, will award the bid
for the purchase of a mini tape recorder. Only
one bid was received. That was the bid of Nagra
Magnetic Recorders for the sum of $3,512.48.
Council has budgeted $3,773 for this purchase.
We recommend the low bidder, Nagra Magnetic Recorder
be awarded this contract.
C. Proposed Ordinance No. 30127 -8, will award the
Annual Polyethylene Pipe Contract. Two (2) bids
were received. The Rohan Company submitted the
low bid of $2,075.
We recommend the low bidder, the Rohan Company be
awarded this contract.
d. Proposed Ordinance No. 30127 -9, will authorize the
final payment on the 1981 Sliplining - Phase III.
The total final project costs is $206,038.98.
Payments of $176,037.30 have already been made.
The final payment is in the amount of $30,001.68.
The total final project costs represents an overrun
of 6.630 or $12,817.98. This overrun was due to
the number of service connections and linear feet
of sliplining on Alexander Drive exceeding our
estimate.
We recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No.
30127 -9.
e. Proposed Ordinance No. 30127 -10, will authorize
final payment on the 1982 -83 Sliplining - Phase I.
The final costs of the project was $19,423.39. A
payment of $17,586.32 has already been made.
Final payment is in the amount of $1,837.07. All
work provided by the contractor has been performed
satisfactorily and in accordance with plans and
specifications. The total cost of the project
represents a 1.9% underrun of $376.61.
We recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No.
30127 -10.

Recess Into Executive Session to Discuss Contemplated Litigation
Mayor Hutto recessed the open meeting into executive session
to discuss contemplated litigation. When the open meeting
reconvened, Mayor Hutto announced that no action had been taken.
Request to Dedicate ,Street
Mr. Lanham mentioned to Council that the Administration
had received a letter from Mrs. Shearer and her daughter,
who are the holders of mortgages on properties located along
Shearer Drive. Shearer Drive is just east of North Main
across from Dent Addition. This is a small area that was
developed without being subdivided. Shearer Drive is not
built to standard, nor is it an improved street. The Shearers
have been asked by the mortgagees to dedicate the street to
the City of Baytown in order that it might be maintained in
an adequate manner. The policy is that Council will consider
accepting designations of this type if streets are brought up
to standard. Standards involve a curb and gutter street.
Mr. Lanham stated that the letter had been addressed to Council,
but if Council so desired, the Administration would notify the
Shearers of what the policy is. Council had no objections.
