complete. Carriage Lane is about ninety -five (95 %) percent
complete; Coachlight Lane is about fifty (50%) percent
complete and Dayton is about fifty (50%) percent complete.

30224 -2
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 24, 1983
Craigmont /Ponderosa Water Line Project - This project
is nearing completion with only seven (7) service connections
remaining to be made. The new system has been put into
service. The old fire hydrants and valve boxes will be
removed. Final cleanup remains to be completed.
Group W (Cable TV) - Earlier in the week, Mr. Lanham
met with Mr. Johnson, representative of Group W, who stated
that the new system is in service and the old system has
been taken out of service. The company is in the process of
removing the old cable. The company has about 4800 subscribers.
The company is instituting a change in its rates from the
present basic charge of $7.50 with a $1.00 charge for
converter box rental to a flat fee of $8.50. The rate for
premium service will be increased from $10.45 to $11.45.
WOR will no longer be carried locally and that station will be
replaced with a Health Network. The company's goal is to
have about 10,000 customers by the end of 1983.
Ed Issacks - At the last Council meeting Mr. Issacks
had requested that the City provide some drainage relief to
his property located south of Nolan Road. Drainage relief
has been provided.
Houston Lighting and Power Company - Council had been
provided with a copy of a letter from Houston Lighting and
Power which indicated that the charge for 1,000 KWH for the
month of March will increase to $73.83 from the $70.01
charge for February. Fuel costs will no longer be shown as
a separate item on the utility bill.
General Telephone Company of the Southwest - There will
be a meeting in Austin tomorrow by cities served by General
Telephone Company of the Southwest. On February 11, GTE
filed an application with the PUC for a system -wide rate
increase in the amount of 85.4 million dollars per year.
Representatives of cities will meet to discuss this filing.
Mayor Hutto and the City Attorney, Randy Strong, plan to
attend that meeting where action that should be taken in the
pending case will be discussed. Telephone company rates are
regulated by PUC and one of the things that GTE has requested
is permission from PUC to offer OMS (Optional Measured
Service). This rate would be based on the minutes used and
distance between telephones. In the work session that
Council had with representatives of GTE several months ago,
this possibility was mentioned. This would possibly be an
answer to some of the people on fixed incomes who do not
desire EAS (Extended Area Service). This is somewhat of an
answer to that; however, there are no calls included in the
basic rate.
Councilman Simmons stated that he could not understand
why the company had not addressed EAS since the company's
own survey showed that sixty -six (66 %) percent of the Baytown
residents did not use it.
Mr. Lanham stated that if Council would ask for that
study, the company would do this, but what they would do is
compute what the cost would be and then the company would
have to go to the PUC and ask to eliminate EAS. OMS may be
an alternative to that. This would allow the people who
want EAS to pay $20.65 for unlimited number of calls and
those who feel that they do not need EAS would pay a base
rate, plus frequency.
30224 -3
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 24, 1983
Councilman Cannon stated that he would like to give the
people the opportunity to try OMS prior to making a definite
decision.
Mr. Lanham stated that the Administration had asked
that question of Mr. White but if Council is interested the
Administration can do so. There was no further discussion.
Randy Strong, City Attorney, explained that the city
has not intervened separately on rate cases in the past.
This is a meeting for cities to get together with Texas
Municipal League to determine if TML will hire Don Butler to
intervene on behalf of TML for all cities.
Pending Legislation - Recently, Council had adopted
three resolutions encouraging legislative action in the area
of Civil Service Law changes, the Pothole Bill and the 9 -1 -1
Concept. At the last meeting of Harris County Mayor's and
Councilmen's Association, a number of resolutions were
adopted which deal mainly with General Law cities. If
Council would like, the Administration will draft letters to
Baytown's representatives concerning the following proposed
legislation:
(1) House Bill No. 194, Financing Certain Utility
Improvements, which law will authorize any city to
contract with a residential property owner to
relocate or replace a sewer service line; provide
for the property owner to reimburse the city for
the cost of such line over a period not to exceed
five years; require that the cost of the line be
assessed against the property on which it is
located.
(2) House Bill No. 588, Uniform Telephone Rates, which
amends Article 1446c, Vernon Civil Statutes, the
Public Utility Regulatory Act, to require uniform
city -wide telephone rates in any city served by
two or more telephone companies. The membership
voted to amend that proposal to read to provide
for reasonably similar rates.
(3) Legislation that would amend the various statutes
which require that certain appointed city officials
reside within the city limits of General Law
cities to allow such cities to appoint and retain
such city officials regardless of his or her
residence.
Council favored the Administration forwarding letters
to the various representatives of the City of Baytown with a
copy of those letters to be forwarded to Mayor John Morrison
of Katy, President of Harris County Mayors and Councilmen.
Texas Municipal League held a meeting a few days ago
where all the bills that have been introduced at that time
which affected cities were reviewed. Mr. Lanham reviewed
some of the bills pending which would affect Baytown. The
Pothole Bill had been mentioned earlier and in response to
an inquiry from Council, Mr. Lanham stated that the Adminis-
tration was not aware of how Baytown's representatives stand
on support of this bill, but the Administration will be in
contact with Baytown's representatives in this regard. There
is a joint resolution which would require a Constitutional
amendment to become effective. This resolution would allow
30224 -4
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 24, 1983
the State to guarantee locally issued water development,
flood control, sewerage, and water related bonds issued by
cities. This would help cities bond rating, but this is the
only help that it would provide. One important bill relating
to county -wide appraisal districts that cities need to work
to get adopted is one that requires delivery of information
needed for budget purposes by a certain date. A bill has
been introduced which will require cities to pay for any
billboards that must be removed due to requirements of
cities. Another bill that would be of interest to cities is
the amendment of the Municipal Annexation Act to eliminate
the requirement that a public hearing must be held in the
area proposed for annexation.
The bills discussed the most were those relating to
utility regulations. One aspect of a bill concerning the
PUC that the Texas Municipal League is not taking a position
on is the provision which would require that the PUC Board
be elected and not appointed. Some of the things involved
in this bill besides the issue of the Commission deal with
prohibition of automatic fuel pass throughs and grant allowances
for construction work in progress only when the utility
company can show that this inclusion is necessary to maintain
the solvency of the utility. The two things that most of
the bills concerning utilities do deal with are how the
commissioners are selected -- elected or appointed and the
fuel pass through.
Mayor Hutto mentioned that for those who had not yet
received Houston Lighting and Power Company utility bill,
the fuel cost is not listed separately which tends to give
the ordinary consumer a false impression of the bill being
lower. Mayor Hutto suggested that Council allow the Admin-
istration to forward letters to Baytown's representatives
and the Chairmen of the various committees handling bills
related to utilities. Particularly, Mayor Hutto felt that
the Public Utility Commission should be appointed rather
than elected. He felt that that became a definite issue in
the last election and can get the attention of the Governor
as quick as anything else. To be elected to a PUC, even in
small regions, would involve considerable amounts of money
which money will not come from local small contributions.
He mentioned that he had talked with several Mayors in the
area and all of those had agreed that the better procedure
is to have the Public Utility Commission appointed rather
than elected. To have the commission appointed, gives the
average citizen a better voice since the Governor is accountable
to those citizens.
Mayor Hutto stated that another bill deals with automatic
fuel pass through and he felt that Council should endorse
something that would prohibit charging customers for such
things as lobbying, political and charitable contributions,
wasteful expenditures and purchase of overpriced fuel from
affiliated companies. The pure cost of the fuel should be
in the rate base. Mayor Hutto mentioned that the County, as
well as the City of Houston have lobbyists in Austin and the
best lobbyists that the City of Baytown can have are the
Council members by writing, contacting or going to Austin to
make themselves heard.
30224 -5
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 24, 1983
Councilman Philips stated that he favored appointment
of PUC members, but he also favored a staff being appointed
to audit the utility companies to determine that the fuel
and the costs that consumers are being charged are efficiently
assessed costs. For instance, it is known that the efficiency
of boilers can be improved by some twenty (20%) percent and
he felt that the PUC-should have a staff that could get
into whether a utility is operating at peak efficiency.
That is when the fuel costs will come down - -when the fuel is
burned more efficiently.
Mayor Hutto stated that in order for Council to be
effective in the laws that it would like to see established,
now is the time to authorize the Administration to draft
letters expressing that support. The Committees will be
meeting February 28.
Councilman Fuller stated that he supported the appointment
of PUC members by the Governor because he felt that by
appointment better qualified people are selected who have
expertise in that particular field. Whereas if a political
foot race is made of it, there is no telling what kind of
qualifications will be represented with politicans running
for office. Another point is that the Governor himself is
held accountable for what happens at the PUC level if appoint-
ments are made by the Governor.
Council expressed no objections to the Administration
forwarding letters concerning bills that are very important
to cities.
Councilman Philips added that he would also support the
drunk driver legislation. Mayor Hutto suggested that that be
handled under a different letter since probably a different
committee would be handling that.
Mr. Lanham inquired if the majority of Council felt that
Baytown should support the appointment of PUC members and
that the automatic pass through should be eliminated.
Councilman Cannon stated that the costs will still be there.
Mr. Lanham explained that some of the proposed bills try
to tie that down more clearly so that the only thing that may
be passed through is fuel costs. What will ultimately happen
is that the fuel costs will be part of the rate base and when
the company goes before the PUC for a rate increase this will
be scrutinized very carefully.
Councilman Philips pointed out that by looking at January,
February and March, the base rate remains the same ... $33. ?6,
but the fuel costs continue to escalate. Since the fuel costs
are not regulated, but the base rate is, the costs for fuel
continue to escalate. Fuel costs have decreased in all areas
except costs for fuels to operate electrical facilities.
Mayor Hutto suggested that the Administration include in
the request that the fuel costs still be shown as a separate
part of the bill.
30224 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 24, 1983
Councilwoman Wilbanks suggested that the emphasis
of the letter be directed to the fuel costs issue rather
than the appointment of the PUC members.
Councilman Simmons stated that he favored the appoint-
ment of the members of the PUC and that he would not favor
enlargement of the PUC. Council had no further comments.
Councilman Cannon mentioned that there is a large
pothole at the entrance to the park on Beaumont Street.
E. F. Green, Gulf Coast Community Services Association,
Will Appear
Mr. E. F. Green, Chairperson of the Bayshore Community
Development Association, which is one of the ten delegate
agencies of the Gulf Coast Community Services Association,
appeared to request Council assistance. The City of Houston
and Harris County have designated this agency as the poverty
agency for both Houston and Harris County. All of the concern
for the needy is not involved in this agency for there are
other agencies that do the same type work. This agency is
responsible for needy people who have no other source of
help. The agency is requesting consideration of a need for
transportation for the elderly to clinics, hospitals,
doctors, etc.
Bill Lawton, Director of Special Projects with Gulf
Coast Community Service, continued the request for funding.
Mr. Lawton stated that he had come before Council to outline
the needs of a program which addresses the needs of the
elderly of the community. Bayshore Incorporated for a period
of approximately four (4) months operated a program for the
elderly to get people of low- income status to the Medical
Center in Houston and doctors' offices and food stamp service
centers. In Houston, Harris County and in this community,
transportation is a number one problem. Bayshore Incorporated
owns two 15 passenger vans with the capability of transporting
60 -80 people per day at 4 one - passenger trips per day to
the various centers in this community, as well as those in
Houston. What is needed is money to service the need in
terms of gasoline and a driver. Since Baytown is not
serviced by MTA, the two 15 passenger vans can suitably
assist in transporting the people of this community. The
proposal outlines the cost of one van, a driver and gasoline.
There are people in the community who have no ability to get
to the food store, doctor's office or Medical Center. The
program had been a very viable program for the past 4 months,
but there are no funds to continue operation on a daily
basis.
Councilwoman Wilbanks agreed that this type service is
needed in Baytown and inquired where the vans are being housed.
Mr. Lawton stated that the vans have been housed in LaPorte
because free storage was offered in LaPorte, but the vans could
be housed in this community.
Mr. Lawton explained that his group had solicited funds
from other areas, but due to budgetary constraints in these
areas, no money is available at this time.
30224 -7
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 24, 1983
Council expressed an interest in the program with the
provision that the program be geared more to the Baytown
area. Council requested that the Administration meet with
Mr. Lawton and Mr. Green to discuss the possibilities, but
that the discussion be based on an expenditure of approximately
$20,000.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing the Contract for
Senior Citizens Taxicab Program
At the last regular Council meeting, Council approved
the transfer of taxicab permits to Mrs. Joy Hart. The contract
to provide senior citizens taxicab services must now be
executed by Mrs. Hart, owner /operator of Red Top and Safeway
Cab Companies. The only change made in the proposed contract
is increased insurance coverage which is consistent with the
recommendation of the City of Baytown insurance consultant.
The Administration recommended approval of the contract.
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

TION FOR SENIOR CITIZENS FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES WITHIN THE
CITY LIMITS OF BAYTOWN, AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE
HEREOF.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Contract With Harris
County for Bookmobile Services
The proposed contract will continue the service at the
current level, but the amount paid by the County has been
increased by eleven (11%) percent. The contract has been in
existence for several years. The Administration feels that
the contract is good for both the City of Baytown and Harris
County. The Administration recommended approval of the contract.
Councilman Fuller moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Change Order A
To Contract No. 3, West District Sewer Replacement,
Sliplining and Point Repair
A map posted in the Council Chamber depicted the areas
that needed to be added to the contract now in progress.
When the system study was made several years ago, EPA would
not authorize sliplining the lines which are now deteriorated
to the point that sliplining is absolutely necessary. The
contractor has agreed to perform the necessary work at the
prices quoted for the original bid items. This will take care
of all the lines along Spring Bayou. There is a lift station
in that area that needs to be replaced or upgraded when
more bonds are sold. These lines are not eligible for
EPA funding. The estimated cost for Change Order A is
$65,000.
In response to an inquiry from Council, Ray Swofford,
with the engineering staff, explained that in order to try
for EPA funding of this project another study of the system
would need to be performed. In order to do that the City
would have to apply to EPA which procedure would take from
4 -5 years.
Councilman Philips moved to adopt the ordinance; Council-
man Simmons seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Approving BAWA's Selection
of Depository for the Authority's Funds
The Baytown Area Water Authority Board received bids
for depository for the Authority's funds. The Board
recommended that the bid be awarded to the high bidder,
First American Bank & Trust of Baytown for plus .51 above
the treasury bill rate for a two -year period. Three bids
were received. Interfirst had planned to bid, but due to
a death in the bank president's family, no bid was submitted.

Consider Reduction of Retainage on Caldwell Street
Improvement Project
Due to poor weather conditions, the contractor on the
Caldwell Street Improvement Project has been unable to
complete that project. All that remains on the project is
minor cleanup. Therefore, the Administration recommended
that the retainage be reduced to one (.01 %) percent or
$1,767 which is sufficient to cover the remaining work.
Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of reduction of
retainage on Caldwell Street Improvement Project to $1,767;
Councilman Philips seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks, Fuller and Cannon
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Consider Specifications for Telephone System for City Hall
Entitlement No. 13 of the revenue sharing program
includes money to replace the telephone system for City
Hall. Larry Patterson, Assistant City Manager, reviewed
proposed specifications for Council. Prior to the review,
Mr. Patterson explained that a great amount of research had
gone into development of the specifications. Staff members
had received a great amount of help from the Product Information
Network, along with vendors. Two prebid conferences have
been held. What the staff attempted for the most part was
to write a very general set of specifications that have
included some things that should be included in a phone
system, and allowed for other type options that could be
included in any type phone system. One of the things requested
is an electronic type phone system that will provide all the
memory features and ability for those to be restored if
there are power failures or fluctuations. The specifications
also request that the system have the capability of switching
from digital to analog. The system should be bid to accomo-
date for future growth. Equipment needed with any phone
system has been specified as number of telephones, trunk
lines and individual stations. The system should also give
features to allow better management control over phone bills
such as accounting features. Council had been furnished
with a copy of the proposed specifications. The Administration
requested approval of the specifications and authorization
to advertise for bids.
30224 -10
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 24, 1983
Councilman Philips moved to approve the specifications
and to authorize the Administration to proceed with adver-
tisement for bids; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion.

Consent Agenda
In response to an inquiry concerning the establishment
of yield intersections along Danubina, Bill Cornelius, Director
of Planning and Traffic, explained that this change was
requested by a resident of one of the streets along Danubina.
No one appeared before the Traffic Commission to object.
Council considered the Consent Agenda as follows:
a. Proposed Ordinance No. 30224 -5, will authorize
final payment for the Glen Meadow Drainage Improve-
ments. The Glen Meadow Subdivision drainage
improvements have been installed in accordance
with the Engineering Department's plans and specifications.
Along with these improvements, a 6" water main was
installed in the same easement. This 6" main was
paid for by a developer. All improvements have
been inspected and have passed their respective
tests. The original contract amount for the
drainage and water main was $112,081.50. There is
an overrun of $9,887.16, resulting in a total of
$121,968.66. The contractor, Tidal Construction,
Inc. has been paid $84,730.72. The final payment
in the amount of $37,237.94 is due.
We recommend the final payment of $37,237.94 be
paid to Tidal Construction, Inc.
b. Proposed Ordinance No. 30224 -6, will establish

Consider Modifications to Proposed Sign Ordinance
Mayor Httto called the special meeting to order and
requested that Council continue its review of the proposed
sign ordinance. Council suggested the following modifications:
(1) A removal bond will be required for the placement
of off premise signs.
(2) The visibility triangle will be expanded to include
any visual obstruction by an on- premise or off - premise
sign.
(3) Portable signs are to be erected to provide that
the sign will fall over rather than be blown apart
by the wind.
(4) The height limitation will be altered to provide
a maximum of 42 1/2 feet for regular height streets,
but in the event of an overpass or elevated roadway,
25 feet maxiumum from road level of overpass to
top of sign will be required. (The Administration
is to look at this suggestion to determine if this
is the best alternative).
(5) Temporary space extensions will be allowed for a
period of ninety (90) days.

Minutes of the Special Meeting - February 24, 1983
The Administration will look at the provisions for
portable signs to determine alternatives for handling the
permitting of portable signs. Council did not seem to favor
extending the distance to 1,000 feet from a commercial or
industrial activity for placement of off premise signs.
Council scheduled a special meeting for March 24', 1983
at 5:00 p.m. to continue discussion of modifications to the
proposed sign ordinance. The City Attorney will provide
Council with an updated version of the proposed ordinance
prior to that meeting.
Ad j ourn
Council adjourned the special meeting in order to call
to order the regularly scheduled meeting.
