City Manager's Report
CETA Summer Jobs Program - The registration held in
Baytown for the CETA Summer Jobs Program was very successful
with 130 persons registering for jobs; 90 met the criteria
and will be considered for summer employment. Sixty positions
will be sponsored by the city, the school district, the YMCA
and Lee College. For those who were unable to register but
are interested, there will be an additional registration on
Saturday, May 14 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the TEC
Building at 9937 Homestead Road in Houston.
30512 -2
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - May 12, 1983
Clean City Commission - Council was provided with a
copy of the Keep America Beautiful Week Report which reflected
a very successful week of activities.
Planning Commission - The Planning Commission has requested
a work session with Council to receive possible input from
Council on extension of city facilities should the planning
area be extended to Interstate 10.
Another matter that the Administration felt needed to be
discussed in a work session was the possibility of Baytown
joining with Harris County in the establishment of an educa-
tional loan program for Harris County. This is the only
metropolitan county in the state without an educational loan
program. This type program must be established by a city.
If Baytown should elect to do this, Baytown could contract
with the county to make the program available to students
throughout the county. Without this type program in Harris
County, the high school graduate who desires to attend college
in Harris County is not eligible for a student loan. There is
a program under which bonds can be sold to make this program
available and there is no liability on the part of the city.
Banks are no longer interested in providing this service;
therefore, laws have been adopted which permit cities to
establish a non - profit corporation, appoint a board, and
sell bonds to make student loans available. The Administration
will ask Mr. Masterson and attorneys to be present to discuss
this with Council. Harris County is very interested in
establishing this program with the city. The city's role
after establishing the program would be to appoint the
board members. This would be the same type arrangement that
is in existence for housing loans. The bonds would be
federally guaranteed; therefore, there is absolutely no
liability to the local taxpayers. There is a criteria
established in order for a student to qualify for a loan.
Council scheduled a work session for Tuesday, May 24,
at 5:00 p.m. to meet with the Planning Commission and to
discuss the possibility of the City of Baytown establishing
an educational loan program for Harris County.
Houston - Galveston Area Council - A map which had been
prepared by Houston - Galveston Area Council indicating the
travel time from various parts of the county to downtown
Houston was posted in Council Chamber. The map indicated
that the travel time from Baytown to downtown Houston is
less than from other parts of the county. This should help
to attract residential development in Baytown. The report
also indicated that several projects that are of interest
to residents of Baytown are in the 20 -year plans of the
state highway department. Loop 201 from Hunter to Ferry
Road is scheduled for completion in 1987. That project
is scheduled to have the contract let in September, 1983.
Also, in the 20 -year plan is State Highway 225 to Loop 201.
That project is expected to be constructed during the period
1987 to 1990 and the completion of Loop 201 is scheduled
for the years 1990 -2000.
Councilwoman Wilbanks inquired if the City of Baytown's
Planning Department agreed with the information provided for
Decker Drive. Bill Cornelius, Director of Traffic and
Planning, stated that he had not reviewed the report, but
the data will be reviewed.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - May 12, 1983
Drainage - Drainage work being conducted in the
Pringle /Rotan Subdivision is approximately eighty -five (85 %)
percent complete. Specifically, East Francis is complete;
Alva is nearing completion and Hines is about fifty (50 %)
percent complete. Dayton Street is complete and the work
on Surrey is about ninety -five (95 %) percent complete. East
Lobit is about fifty (50 %) percent complete.
Sliplining - The contractor on Phase II of the sliplining
project is working in the West Sterling area just west of
Pruett Street where 600 feet of the 2,000 feet needed has
been installed.
The two contractors in the Lakewood area are very close
to completing the work. On Contract No. 2, a final inspection
is expected in about ten (10) days. Contract No. 3 should
be completed within a week. Therefore, both contracts
should be completed by the end of May which will complete
all the work in the West District that was being constructed
with grant funds. The total of all the work in the West
District including the plant is about $7,000,000; $5,500,000
is EPA money and $1,500,000 is local funding.
Quail Hollow Lift Station Modifications - About one -third
of the work has been completed on the Quail Hollow Lift
Station Modifications.
Questions /Comments of Council
Councilman Philips commended the Planning Commission for
bringing to the attention of the Administration the problem
of construction taking place without plats being finally
filed.
Mr. Lanham, in response to an inquiry from Council,
stated that the Administration is presently working on other
areas that will need ordinance change.
Councilman Fuller pointed out that the City has the
legal right in the event a contractor does not conform to
city requirements to tear out the newly constructed facility.
Mr. Lanham emphasized that his directive will delay
some projects and that Council would be hearing from these
developers; however, he felt that this is something that
needs to be done.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Johnson,
Randy Strong, City Attorney, stated that he had not received
a copy of the final legislation on billboards, but when he
did he would report to Council on how that legislation would
affect the City of Baytown's ordinance.
Councilman Simmons mentioned that he had received a
call from a gentleman at 2104 Carolina concerning brush
pickup. Mr. Lanham stated that the brush pickup schedule
is on a three week basis.
Councilman Fuller mentioned the meeting of Harris County
Mayors' and Councilmen scheduled for May 19 and that he
would hope that the City of Baytown Council would make
every effort to support this group.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - May 12, 1983
Consider Request of Hoesch Tubular Products Company for
Exemption Under Resolution No. '767
Mr. Wolfgang Schmidt, President of Hoesch Tubular Products
Company, requested exemption as provided under Section 6 of
Resolution No. 767 for new manufacturing industries. The
Hoesch Company is located at 2600 Spur 55. The company is a
manufacturing facility for endfinishing and normalizing of
tubing and casing with approximately seventy people in its
employ. The majority owner of the company is Hoesch America,
Inc., a Georgia corporation, which in turn is controlled by
Hoesch Werke AG, a German company. Until recently, the
company was being directed from abroad. Wolfgang Schmidt
became President of the company on April 11 1983, and Max
Tejeda became Executive Vice - President.
Councilman Philips stated that the provision of the
Industrial District Resolution is to recognize new industry
and he felt the request of the company is consistent with
the provision of Section 6 of the resolution; therefore, he
moved that the request of Hoesch Tubular Products Company
for exemption under Resolution No. 767 be approved; Council-
woman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks and Fuller
Mayor Cannon
Nays: None
Councilman Fuller inquired if Mr. Schmidt agreed that
his company would sign the Industrial District Agreement at
the end of the four -year period. Mr. Schmidt replied in the
affirmative.
Hear Report on Community Development Activities
Jerry Fletcher, Community Development Co- ordinator,
highlighted some of the items included in the Community
Development Report on the Community Development Block Grant
Program. A copy of that report is on file in the office of
the City Clerk, as well as the office of Community Development.
After Mr. Fletcher had completed his review of the report,
Councilman Johnson inquired concerning the request made at
the public hearing for a community building. Mr. Fletcher
responded that the staff had not recommended that a community
building be constructed and the board had concurred with that
recommendation. The staff's recommendation is based on the
fact that the Community Center is in such close proximity to
the suggested neighborhood center and the fact that room
rental at the Community Building is so reasonable. Councilman
Johnson responded that from what he gathered, the Community
Building is not utilized by persons from the lower socio
economic groups and that he could understand the desire of
the people to have a place in their own community to utilize.
Mr. Fletcher pointed out that if the City elected to construct
a community building in the neighborhood, the city would be
required to furnish funding for maintaining that structure
because HUD does not furnish any funds for that purpose.

Councilwoman Wilbanks inquired if applications were
being sought for rehabilitation of homes. Mr. Fletcher
responded that at this particular time, applications for
rehabilitations of homes were being accepted and placed on
hold until further funding.
Council thanked the Community Development Advisory
Committee and staff for its efforts.
Consider Request to Change Name of Martin Luther King
Street to Oak Street
Two maps were posted in the Council Chamber which
depicted the areas where persons resided who had signed both
the first petition to change the name of Oak Street to
Martin Luther King Street and the second petition to change
the name back to Oak Street. The petition received in 1981
contained the names of approximately 50 signers who resided
in the area, while the petition recently filed contained 232
signers, but not all those persons reside in the area.
Councilman Philips stated that as he had reviewed the
request, he felt that he was looking at only part of the
request because he would rather go ahead and look at the
petition on the basis of if Council changed the name back to
Oak Street, what other street would be appropriate to be
named Martin Luther King. He felt that Council should be
considering the whole picture rather than looking at one
segment at the time.
Councilman Fuller concurred that it would be difficult
for Council to make a decision at this time since Council
would need more information on which to base a decision.
Councilman Johnson asked that Mr. Jones, the presenter
of the second petition, step forward to inform Council what
street his group would have in mind to be named Martin
Luther King Street. Mr. Jones responded that at this time,
the neighborhood council did not have a definite street in
mind. The group would like a boulevard to be named for Mr.
King. However, as far as Oak Street is concerned, the group
felt that the atmosphere in the area of Oak Street is not
that which Mr. King represented. Mr. Jones stated that he
is the chairman of the Tri- Cities Young Adult Council and
that that group does not favor the street being named for
Mr. King. Mr. Jones stated that he was completely unaware
that the first petition had been circulated and he did not
feel that 50 people can speak for a neighborhood of 1100 or
more people.
Mayor Cannon mentioned that a possible solution could
be to see that the street is cleaned up to represent Mr.
King's ideals. Mr. Jones stated that after getting the name
changed back to Oak Street, the neighborhood council intended
to work on cleaning the street up. Mr. Jones added that he
felt by taking the name Oak away from Oak Addition would be
taking something away from Oak Addition itself.
Mayor Cannon explained that there was a great deal
involved with the change of a street name such a notifica-
tion to various entities involved and the necessity of the
residents to change addresses on all their correspondence.
30512 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - May 12, 1983
Mr. Jones felt that if a portion of Oak Street were to
remain named for Martin Luther King, that the entire street
from beginning to end should be changed to reflect the name
Martin Luther King. He couldn't understand why the street
name had only been changed from Gentry Street to Riggs
Street to begin with.
Mr. Jones stated that he would have no disagreement
with the entire street being named Martin Luther King because
the neighborhood council would clean the street up.
Several Council members stated that they were interested
in getting the problem worked out because it had not been
very long ago that Council had been presented with a petition
to change the street name which was done in good faith and
now Council is being faced with another petition.
Mr. Jones said he felt that the residents of the community
would want the entire street to be named Martin Luther King.
The point was made that the signers of the petition had
asked that the street name be changed back to Oak Street;
therefore, Council felt that the position of the residents
of the area was still unclear since Mr. Jones had indicated
that perhaps the residents would really want to have the
entire street named for Mr. King.
Mayor Cannon suggested that Mr. Jones go back and get
with his group in order that a unified presentation can be
made to Council. If cleaning up Oak Street would provide
proper reverence for Martin Luther King, then Council will
do all that it possibly can to help with cleanup. If the
request is to change the name of the street, Council will
address that issue. Also, if the group desires that another
street be named Martin Luther King Street, then Council
would want to address that issue. However, if the group
does desire to have another street named, the current
petition does not address that issue.
The pastor of Central Heights Church of Christ addressed
the Council to state that he did not feel that the street
named for Martin Luther King gave Mr. King the proper repre-
sentation. He agreed that the street should be cleaned up,
but he felt that the street should be renamed.
Since there were no other persons desiring to speak to
the issue, Mayor Cannon moved to the next item.
Consider Proposed Resolution No. 839, Supporting Legislation
Strengthening the State Law Regarding Driving While Intoxicated
Councilman Simmons stated that he felt the resolution
to be a very strong emphatic resolution and he commended the
City Attorney's office for drafting the resolution; however,
he did question the timeliness of the resolution considering
the stage that the legislature is in. While talking about
DWI, he felt that if Council is really concerned about doing
something about the DWI problem, there is a local problem,
as well as a county -wide problem. In that context, Councilman
Simmons referenced the breath test supervision program which
has been funded federally and which has been administered by
the North Harris County College. This program has a breath
30512 -7
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - May 12, 1983
test technical supervisor who certifies all the operators
of nine stations in Harris County that have an intoxilyzer.
These federal funds will expire on September 30; therefore,
North Harris County College approached Harris County about
possibly picking up a part or half of their $53,000 budget.
In the letter that was addressed to Commissioners Court, the
point was made that without this program, the blood alcoholic
level evidence obtained by use of the breath test instruments
commonly known as intoxilyzers will not be admissible in
court. When a suspected DWI is brought in, after being
tested, if the test indicates .10 the person is legally
intoxicated. If this program is not funded, there will be
a very serious problem with proving up DWI cases in court.
Commissioners Court has granted $30,000 to the college
contingent upon the college raising the remainder from other
sources. The college has approached Galveston County and
as yet, there is no indication what Galveston County will
contribute; however, the amount probably will be minimal
since there is only one station in Galveston. The college
will approach Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Cancellation
of this program will seriously jeopardize enforcement of
DWI charges in Harris County and in Baytown. The resolution
is to s trenghten any legislation that would help in this
area, but no matter how strong the legislation is if there
is no enforcement, these offenders will not be convicted.
Chief Henscey verified that without the program, the police
department would not be very successful in filing a DWI
charge. The breath test supervisor certifies the machines
and appears on every DWI case to testify.
Councilman Simmons stated that there is a problem
locally which would nullify any legislation if there is no
enforcement. Therefore, he moved to table the resolution
and place an item on the next regular Council agenda to
consider and discuss the necessity and the feasibility of
the City of Baytown making a financial commitment or contri-
bution to sustain the breath test supervision program
Councilman Philips stated that Council had already gone
on record in consort with Texas Municipal League at the be-
ginning of the session when the inpact was strongest as a
supporter of legislation regarding driving while intoxicated.
Mayor Cannon stated that he could see no problem with
adoption of a resolution to let Baytown's representatives
know that the City Council of the City of Baytown is on
record for strong DWI legislation.
Councilman Fuller seconded the motion.
Councilman Johnson inquired as to the procedure if
Council tabled an item. The City Attorney explained that the
item could be placed back on the agenda by vote of Council.
Councilman Philips inquired if Council had specifically
requested that Baytown's representatives support the pothole
bill. Mr. Lanham responded that Council formally took action
on the pothole bill and others, but had not taken formal
action concerning DWI legislation. However, this was part
of the TML legislative program which was specifically aimed
at penalties for driving while intoxicated such as revoking
the license for any individual -who would refuse to take the
breath test, increase the maximum DWI penalty from $500 to
30512 -8
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - May 12, 1983
$2,000, establish a mandatory jail term for any person convicted
of DWI twice within a five -year period and establish longer
jail terms and license suspension for repeat offenders. That is
what TML started supporting, but probably there have been numerous
changes since the session began. Several bills have been
introduced. Mayor Cannon inquired what had City Council endorsed
as far as DWI legislation. Mr. Lanham responded that the
Council has formally taken no action. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Wilbanks
and Fuller
Nays: Councilman Johnson

Consider Authorization to Advertise for Sale of Property at
129 North Bayshore Drive
At the time the owner of 129 North Bayshore Drive dedi-
cated that lot to the City of Baytown, the plans were that
the Brownwood area would be cleared under the buy out program.
The city has no use for the lot and must currently maintain
the lot. The next door neighbor to the lot has indicated a
desire to purchase the lot. The Administration requested
authorization from Council to advertise for sale of the lot
at 129 North Bayshore Drive.
Councilman Johnson moved to authorize the Administration
to advertise for bids for sale of the lot at 129 North
Bayshore Drive; Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion.
The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks and Fuller

Consider Plans and Specifications for Rollingbrook Drive
Extenstion and Authorize Advertisement for Bids
Johnnie Busch with the firm of Busch, Hutchison and
Associates was present to discuss plans and specifications
for Rollingbrook Drive extension. Rollingbrook will be ex-
tended from near Decker Drive across the undeveloped property
and connect back to Garth Road. The street will be a fifty -
one (51') foot wide street consisting of two lanes of traffic
in each direction with a continuous left turn lane. There is
also a bridge incorporated in the construction plans across
Goose Creek Stream. Extensive drainage appurtenances have
been planned for the project - -storm sewers, box culverts,
inlets, ditches, etc. There is no median for a majority of
the street, but there is a channelization median near Garth
Road to provide a left turn slot, along with a transition
section along the west end of the project. The thickness
of the roadway is slightly heavier than what is customary for
Baytown. Historically, thoroughfares in Houston, Harris
County and Baytown have consisted of seven (7 ") inches of
concrete pavement over lime stabilized subgrade. The seven (7 ")
inches of concrete pavement is not adequate in some cases;
30512 -9
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - May 12, 1983
therefore, the criteria for the thickness of Rollingbrook
was taken from the American Association of State Highway
officials. This road is expected to generate very high
volumes of traffic; therefore, the engineers are proposing
nine (9 ") inch thick reinforced concrete pavement over
lime stabilized subgrade. The specifications call for very
specific perimeters of compaction which are very similar
to those used by the state highway department and other
agencies. The drainage system for this project has been
designed to carry a 25 year storm. A new outfall ditch
will be constructed which will discharge the drainage
from that area to Goose Creek Stream. The estimated cost
for the project without right of way purchases is $3,736,443.
If Council authorizes advertisement for bids, Council should
be able to award a contract by June 9.
Councilman Philips moved to approve the plans and
specifications for Rollingbrook Drive Extension and to
authorize advertisement for bids; Councilman Fuller seconded
the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks and Fuller

Consider Sesquicentennial Master Plan
The Sesquicentennial Committee Chairman, Sam Bramlett,
and one of the Vice Chairpersons, Barbara Hinds, along with
Bobby Rountree, Director of Parks and Recreation, were present
in the audience. Each had worked on the Sesquicentennial
Master Plan. Bobby Rountree explained that one of the
criteria for Baytown to be established as an "Independence
Community" is to set up a structure. Part of this includes
the organizational chart which is attached to the master
plan, as well as the plan itself. However, the master plan
is only a guide since work will be progressing through the
year 1986. As work progresses, the plan will become more
specific. The Sesquicentennial Logo Contest is currently
in progress which will allow all Baytown's activities to
be identified with Texas' 150th Birthday. The winner of
the logo contest will receive a plaque and recognition since
this logo will be used throughout these next few years.
Sam Bramlett, Chairman, introduced Mrs. Hinds and stated
that Roy Fuller, Jr. was also serving as a Vice Chairman.
He mentioned that there are others who will be nominated
to fill the various vacancies. He stated that the committee
would be back to report on activities and ask for help if
necessary. Many organizations have already begun work -- Ster-
ling Municipal Library, the Bay Area Heritage Society, etc.
In the year 1986, there will be continuous activities planned.
Councilman Fuller moved for approval of the Sesquicen-
tennial Master Plan; Councilman Simmons seconded the motion.
Councilwoman Wilbanks mentioned that if the committee
felt that money would be needed for the fiscal year 1983 -84,
plans should be made to include that request in the proposed
budget for Parks and Recreation. Mr. Rountree stated that
a grant had been applied for in this regard. The vote follows:

Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 30512 -61 Authorizing Final
Payment for 1982 Street Improvement Program
In response to an inquiry from Council, Mr. Lanham
clarified that the original contract was awarded for the
amount of $524,503.20, but two change orders had been presented
to Council which totaled $89,071.55, bringing the adjusted
contract to $613,574.75. Total work performed to date is
for the amount of $700,223.64, thus resulting in an overrun
of $86,648.89 or 14.12 %.
Most of the overrun is comprised from additional curb
and gutter work on Aron, Gresham, and West James, plus
additional hot mix asphalt that was used when overlaying
Pecan Manor, Pecan Street, Cedar, Bayou and Elton. Additional
concrete driveway replacement was necessary on Gresham and
West James. The Administration emphasized that this is not
an unusual occurrence on street improvement programs because
it is very difficult to estimate quantities until the work
actually begins; therefore, usually, specifications are
drawn on basis of minimum requirements.

THE 1982 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, AND PROVIDING FOR THE
EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.
Consider Appointment to Council District No. 5
Councilman Johnson placed into nomination for appointment
to Council District No. 5, Mr. Gerald E. Dickens, 201 West
Jack. Councilman Johnson stated that he had been concerned
about Mr. Dickens' age until he had spoken with him for 1h
hours. He mentioned that Mr. Dickens is 25 years old and
30512 -13
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - May 12, 1983
that he is Precinct Judge for Precinct 99. Mr. Dickens
is fluent in Spanish, French and German and is a graduate
of Ross Sterling. He attended Texas A &M, but upon the
death of his father, he moved back to Baytown to work for
U. S. Steel as German interpreter. Presently, Mr. Dickens
is employed by Anchor Realty.
Mayor Cannon recognized Mr. Joe Lorenz, a resident of
Council District No. 5, who stated that he felt that the
law should be changed so that if an office holder desired
to run for another office, it would be mandatory that that
person resign to do so. Mr. Lorenz stated that probably
the young man who was nominated would make a fine Council
person, but the citizens of District No. 5 would now have
a representative who was appointed by Council, rather than
elected by the people.
Councilwoman Wilbanks stated that she had heard this
from others also; Councilman Fuller concurred that he felt
this gentleman had a good point and at a later time he
would like to address this issue.
Mr. Lanham pointed out that the Charter would need to
be amended in order to provide for an election should a
vacancy occur.
Councilman Philips seconded the motion. He said
that he had visited with Mr. Dickens and had found him to
be politically aware.
Councilman Johnson suggested that if Council did appoint
Mr. Dickens that the Mollie Knowlton Civic Association might
like to invite him to a meeting of that group.
Councilman Fuller pointed out that the persons being
considered has some youth which is a good opportunity for
Council to interrelate with the younger segment of the
community.
In response to an inquiry from Mr. Lorenz, the City
Attorney stated that in order to have the Charter amended,
citizens would need to circulate an initiation petition to
call an election for Charter amendment, or City Council
could call such an election on its own. Mr. Lorenz requested
that City Council consider calling an election for the
purpose of amending that provision of the Charter.
Mayor Cannon pointed out that this was not the first
occurrence of a vacancy on Council being filled by Council
appointment. Eileen Caffey had been appointed to Council
District No. 2 when Mayor Hutto was elected. Councilman
Cannon stated that he did not personally know Mr. Dickens
and that he would have another name to place in nomination
if he were not serving as Mayor; therefore, he would vote
against the appointment.
The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons
and Fuller
Nays: Mayor Cannon
Abstained: Councilwoman Wilbanks

Recess Into Executive Ses's'ion to Di's'cuss Contemplated' Litigation
The open meeting was recessed into executive session to
discuss contemplated litigation. When the open meeting
reconvened, the following business was conducted:
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing the City Attorney
to Make Offer for Land Acquisition for Location of
Elevated Water Tower
The Administration recommended that Council authorize
land acquisition for location of the new elevated water tower
with certain conditions. The City Attorney explained that
the ordinance as proposed would authorize the purchase of
the approximately one -acre tract from Sammie G. Hughes for
the sum of $11,825 subject to the city having a title policy
issued. The owner of the property has not completed payment
of the property and there is a lienholder that releases will
be required from. Another contingency would be that the city
will need to check with its insurance company regarding the
close proximity of pipelines.
Councilman Simmons moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Fuller seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Wilbanks and Fuller
