Receive Petitions
Council was presented with a petition requesting a four
way stop sign be placed at the corner of North Burnett Drive
and Rollingbrook Street in the Lakewood Subdivision. Also,
the petition requested that the deep curve coming into Lake-
wood Drive be striped. There were one hundred thirty six
signatures on the petition. Mr. Lanham suggested that this
petition be referred to the Traffic Commission.
At this point Councilman Fuller commented that through
the years the traffic density has built up in this area and
now there is more traffic due to people trying to avoid the
traffic going down Pin Oak to Bayway and having to stop at
30811 -2
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 11, 1983
the light there during traffic periods. This is one of the
reasons for the increased traffic on Rollingwood. Council-
man Fuller stated that he felt this was a reasonable request.
Bill McElhannon, a resident of Lakewood, then addressed
the Council. He referred to the two sharp curves coming off
of Decker onto North Burnett. The construction of these two
curves causes people who are speeding to lose control and
end up in the yard of a couple of Lakewood residents.
Twenty mile per hour signs have been posted at this spot and
also a stop sign off Rollingwood. Mr. McElhannon feels that
the requests stated in the petition would help to alleviate
this problem.
Councilman Johnson made the motion that the petition be
accepted and referred to the Traffic Committee. Council-
woman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Wilbanks,
Fuller, Johnson and Dickens
Mayor Cannon
Nays: None
At this point Council was presented with a second
petition presented by Stanley Nelson with the Bayshore
Community Development Program. The petition was a request
for emergency funds for the month of September. This program
has been operating since April 11, 1983, on funds from Gulf
Coast Community Development and funds which have been raised.
As of the last day of August, there will be no more funds
available from Gulf Coast until sometime in October. The
amount of funds needed to operate for the month of September
is estimated to be $3,000. Mr. Nelson requested that Council
consider this petition as this program has proven to be very
helpful to many of the older citizens in the City of Baytown,
transporting approximately three thousand people in the City
of Baytown and La Porte area during the last few months. He
stated that ninety five percent (95 %) of these people have
been from the Baytown area. At this point Councilman Philips
asked what this $3,000 would be used for. Mr. Nelson
replied that it would go toward salaries, supplies, vehicle
insurance, telephone service, maintenance, oil and gas.
This is based on the last four months operating figures.
Councilwoman Wilbanks asked what were the major areas in
which people use this transportation service. Mr. Nelson
responded that one of the vans operated primarily in the
City of Baytown; another operates in the La Porte, Lomax,
Shore Acres area and also helps out in the Baytown area.
People are transported to shopping areas, medical facilities,
social security offices, and social service organizations
and activities. Mayor Cannon suggested that this item be
put on the agenda for the next Council Meeting. Councilman
Philips stated that he hoped Council could find a way to help
this problem, but that he would like to see any support
provided by the City of Baytown go to the portion of opera-
ting costs that applied to Baytown's needs. Councilman
Philips suggested that Mr. Nelson also make this request from
La Porte. Mr. Nelson stated that La Porte did give the program
$2,500. Councilman Philips made the motion to accept the
petition. Councilman Fuller seconded the motion. The vote

the State Commission stating that Baytown's application had
been approved. The City was commended on this excellent
organization and its master plan of activity scheduled to
celebrate Texas's first one hundred fifty years.
Drainage work - Mr. Lanham stated that drainage work
has continued in spite of the rains. The work on Carlton
has been completed, and the work on Garth Road, north of

Mr. Lanham stated that the Budget had been delivered to
Council and asked when they would like to start the budget
work sessions. Council decided to hold these work sessions
on August 22, 23, and 24 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Council had been provided notices from Christin Hartung,
President of TML Region XIV, inviting Council to a meeting
of the TML to be held on September 8, 1983, which is the
regular Council Meeting time. Mr. Lanham asked Council if
they wanted to change the Council meeting in order to attend.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 11, 1983
Hold Public Hearing on the Annexation of Willow Creek Shopping
Center, Phase II (7:00 p.m.)
Mayor Cannon called the public hearing concerning the
annexation of Willow Creek Shopping Center, Phase II to order.
The Mayor indicated that everyone present desiring to testify
at the public hearing should sign the register provided in the
lobby since this register would provide the speaking order
for the hearing. There were no names registered and no one
in the audience wishing to testify. Mayor Cannon explained
that this hearing was called so that citizens could present
information for or against this proposed annexation. He
also stated that there had been no one to testify at the on-
site hearing which was held at 5:30 p.m. At this point Mr.
Lanham described the area to be annexed. The property is
located just north of the Willowcreek Shopping Center which
is at the northwest corner of Garth and Baker Road. The
property that is three hundred feet west of the center line
on Garth Road is presently in the city limits. This property
to be annexed is located just west of that three hundred
feet and north of the existing shopping center. It is 2.169
acres of land. Mr. Lanham provided Council with a service
plan for providing service to the area. There being no
discussion to be brought before Council, Mayor Cannon closed
the public hearing. - 0 -
At this point, Mayor Cannon stated that he knew of at
least two groups present who were not on the agenda but
would like to appear before Council. The first person to
appear before Council was Mr. Melvin Roark, 1205 Windy Lane.
Mr. Roark stated that he had a drainage problem that was
causing his home to flood. He stated that the problem is
from the utility easement that runs behind his house. The
rain water from the Trailer City, located south of him is
running onto his property. Mr. Roark asked for Council
approval to have drainage work done on the utility easement.
He stated that he had fifteen feet of the utility easement
on his property. Mr. Roark told Council that some work had
been done already, and he had been told that more work would
be done to the culverts. Mr. Lanham stated at this point
that normally the City does not do drainage work in easements,
but the city will need time to study this problem and see
what can be done. Mayor Cannon then suggested that this
problem be turned over to the Administration and asked them
to have a report for Council at the next meeting.
The second person to address Council was Mrs. Carry Barry,
owner of Barry's Oil House at 4911 N. Main. She was representing
a group of small business owners along North Main. Mrs. Barry
stated to Council that she realized that when this section of
North Main was completed there will be more traffic and
their businesses will be rewarded for the inconvenience, but
that future rewards will not pay the bills now. One problem
pointed out by Mrs. Barry was that the detour signs are
misleading since they do not specify the road is open after
6:00 p.m. everyday, causing there to be virtually no traffic
at all. Mayor Cannon informed Mrs. Barry that the City is
really caught in the middle of all this since it is a county
project. Councilman Fuller pointed out that he feels that
the Council does have a basic responsibility to the citizens
of Baytown even though it is a county project. Councilman
Philips then stated that it was is understanding that there
was a full time inspector at the site and asked Mrs. Barry if
30811 -5
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 11, 1983
she had been in contact with him regarding some of these
problems. Mrs. Barry replied that she had not. Councilman
Simmons stated that he had been in contact with Mr. Ed Denk,
who is Commissioner Fonteno's general superintendent,
informing him of some of the problems and asking him if he
could have his inspector on this job become more involved.
Also, Councilman Simmons asked the Mayor to appoint a committee
composed of two council members with an engineering background,
two members from the citizens who live in the immediate
North Main area, two members representing the contractor,
and one member from the County Inspection Department. At
this point, Mayor Cannon asked if there was a representative
from the construction firm present who would like to address
the Council. Mr. Glen Angel addressed Council and answered
some of the questions Mrs. Barry had asked. He informed
Mrs. Barry that if the rains will allow, they will be able
to install the huge box culverts within the next seven
working days. He went on to say that by September 1, ninety -
five (95 %) percent of the storm sewer should be in, and the
temporary road could be opened.
At this point Mr. Charles Froust, 4806 North Main,
addressed Council. He stated that he felt there had been a
real lack of communication between the contractor and the
businesses along North Main, and he felt that a committee as
proposed by Councilman Simmons might help with this problem.
Mayor Cannon asked if everyone involved was in agreement as
to the forming of this committee. He was told by all
involved that they were in favor of this. Mayor Cannon
stated that this would be a rough committee, but that there
would be seven people on it to try to resolve these problems.
Mayor Cannon appointed Council members Fuller and Philips to
represent the Council. The group of citizens appointed Mrs.
Carrie Barry and Mr. Charles Froust to represent them. Mr.
Billy Angel and Glen Angel stated that they would represent
the contractor. Councilman Simmons stated that he would be
in touch with Mr. Denk so that a representative could be
appointed from the county. Mayor Cannon appointed Councilman
Philips to be the chairman of this committee.
Mayor Cannon stated that he wanted to also appoint a
committee to study the noise ordinance. He told Council
that he would also like to have someone with an engineering
background on this committee. Mayor Cannon appointed Council-
man Fuller as chairman of this committee and asked that
Councilman Philips serve with him. He told Council that he
would like to have representatives from industry and the
Chamber of Commerce to also serve on this committee.
Consider appeal of Joe E. Fertitta from the decision of the
Chief Building Inspector regarding buffer fencing
Mr. Joe Fertitta, owner of commercial property located
at 619 Morrell Street, asked Council that a waiver be given
regarding his property and the property at 615 Morrell.
Council had been provided with a copy of a letter signed by
Mr. Fertitta and Steven L. Jensen, owner of the property at
615 Morrell. The letter indicated that both are agreeable
to this variance. However, city records indicate that the
true owner of the property located at 615 Morrell, is Mrs.
Richard L. Knapp, the mother of Steven L. Jensen. Mr.
30811 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 11, 1983
Fertitta informed Council that he had mailed a letter to
Mrs. Knapp in Louisiana to be signed that will prove she is
also in agreement to this variance. Councilman Johnson made
the motion to approve this variance subject to the receipt
of this letter. Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion.
The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members
Fuller, Johnson
Mayor Cannon

Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 30811 -1, Levying Assessments
Against Property Abutting Rollingbrook Drive Extension and
The Owners thereof for the Payment of a Part of the Costs
Of Improving and Paving said Street
Mr. Lanham stated that Council had been provided with a
great deal of material concerning these assessments, including
letters from several of the abutting property owners, and a
report which provided information on other assessment projects.
Councilman Simmons then read a memo to Council that was
addressed to Mr. Lanham from Norman Dykes, City Engineer.
The memo stated that the project was bid $2,417,690 under
the budgeted amount.
Councilman Simmons then stated that he wanted to ask a
few questions. He asked if the right of way costs were in-
cluded in the budgeted amount. Mr. Lanham responded that
they were; that the budgeted amount was the total, including
engineering, right of way, pipeline adjustments, everything.
Councilman Simmons then asked if all the right of way for
this project had been acquired for this extension. Mr.
Lanham stated that it had either been acquired or was in
court, in litigation. At this point, Randy Strong, City
Attorney, stated that the city had acquired all the right of
way, but there was still a question of the total amount to
be paid on one tract because they have appealed to the Board
of Commissioners, but the property has been acquired and
that is not an issue anymore. Councilman Simmons went on to
state that when the 1981 Bond issue passed which included
the Rollingbrook Drive Extension, the purpose was to facilitate
the flow of east -west traffic and improve mobility in general
by providing another main artery. He stated that he felt
that any enhancement to the abutting properties was a secondary
effect rather than the primary purpose of voting these
bonds.
Councilman Simmons went on to say that property owners
along Rollingbrook extension have a triple exposure in
paying for the project. One, like every other citizen they
have their pro rata share of the bond issue; two, they are
faced with this assessment that is being discussed tonight
to recover 100% of the curb cost and ninety percent (90 %) of
paving cost; and three, these property owners are subject to
increased ad valorem taxes as a result of this enhancement
which will probably result in re- evaluation and higher
taxes. The normal citizen who will use this road, and to
whose benefit it is to be constructed will only be required
to pay their pro rata share. He said that there are several
30811 -7
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 11, 1983
precedents in Baytown where in situations like this, such as
Garth from Park Street to Decker, the property owners gave
the right of way in exchange for no assessment. Also, the
extension on Ward Road from North Main to Highway 146 in the
vicinity of Houston Lighting & Power was also an arrangement
with the Martin heirs whereby for a token payment of $1,200
and donation of the right of way, they were not assessed.
More recently he added that on the construction of Park
Street to Pruett Street to the bridge, there was no assessment
since the main value to be derived from it was to move
traffic. He stated that the point he was making was that
there have been other cases in which the right of way was
given in place of any assessments.
At this time Councilman Simmons passed out some data
that he had composed that represented an alternative to the
existing assessment. His suggestion was that the property
owners be assessed a sum equal to that already paid for
right of way, unless the amount exceeded the percent of
construction costs that could be legally assessed. Council
discussed Councilman Simmon's proposal in detail. One point
that was brought up by City Attorney, Randy Strong, was that
using the amount paid for right of way to determine assess-
ments had no basis in state law. He added that Council
would be "on poor ground" if it supported assessing enhance-
ments greater than supported by testimony from Engineer
Johnnie Busch and Appraiser Gerald Teel, even if the assess-
ment did not exceed the maximum amount allowed by law.
Councilman Philips stated that he had a problem with this as
it would mean a zero assessment in some cases. He suggested
assessing a flat rate of a certain amount per linear foot to
all property owners. Mayor Cannon and Councilman Dickens
questioned whether the flat rate applied to all properties
could be used since there was no testimony to support such
an assessment. Councilman Fuller stated that he liked
Councilman Simmons proposal but did not think that the flat
rate would work because he did not think it would be fair to
all property owners. Councilman Johnson stated that he
agreed with Councilman Fuller that this would not be fair.
There was more discussion and more figures were presented
using both the proposals presented by Councilman Simmons and
Councilman Philips.
Councilwoman Wilbanks brought up the point that in
dealing with this figure for right of way payment on the
Busch tract, that the Council is really dealing with some-
thing that is not an established figure since they are in
court over this. Councilman Simmons suggested that if the
Busch heirs are agreeable they might withdraw this suit.
Mr. Raymond Martin, one of the Busch heirs, addressed the
Council. Mr. Martin stated that the Busch heirs would like
to exchange the right of way payment for no assessment, and
as far as they are concerned this would clear up any litiga-
tion. Mr. Lanham stated that the way this would have to
work would be that the property would be assessed, the
Busch's would then pay, and then the assessment could be
shown as paid.
Mr. Lanham suggested that another approach would be to
take a percentage of the enhanced figure submitted by Mr.
Teel. He suggested that two thirds might be a good percentage.
30811 -8
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 11, 1983
Councilwoman Wilbanks stated that taking the percentage of
Teel's enhanced values would keep the same configuration of
values. The Council then discussed the assessments using
this two thirds percentage, and filled in the chart on the
assessment roll to be attached to the minutes and to be
referred to as "Attachment A ". The final decision of the
Council was that with the assessments levied against the
nine parcels of land, total construction cost to be recovered
by the City would amount to $398,045.70. Councilman Simmons
made the motion to adopt the ordinance. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Fuller. The vote follows:

Fuller, Johnson, and Dickens

Review Plans for Baker /Bayway Drainage Ditch
Norman Dykes, City Engineer, provided Council with a
set of plans and a map which showed this area in detail. He
stated that this project is planned for the future, and only
a few changes will have to be made to accommodate the whole
area. The first three hundred feet of the ditch off Bayway
Drive is piped and then it goes to open ditch back to the
back of the first property, makes a couple of curves, goes
back to the Exxon property, and then goes north up to Baker
Road where it ends. It drains to the Harris County Flood
Control Ditch that goes out to the Bay. An eighty four inch
pipe will be installed that will take care of the drainage
in the immediate area. Future plans call for two nine by
seven boxes. He stated that the ditch is approximately
ninety feet wide at the top, eight feet wide at the bottom,
and about twelve feet deep.
Councilman Fuller asked if there would be any open
ditches adjacent to anyone's home or residence. Mr. Dykes
informed him that there would be none. There will be an
open ditch near Baker Road, but there are not any homes in
that area. He added that the flood control district has
gone out for bids on the project and the bids are due on
September 1. There being no further discussion, the motion
was made by Councilman Fuller to approve the plans for the
Baker /Bayway Drainage Ditch. Councilman Dickens seconded
the motion. The vote follows:

Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 30811 -2, Authorizing Agreement
With Exxon Pipeline Company to Adjust a Ten Inch Pipeline
And Authorizing Expenditure of Funds
Mr. Lanham reported to Council that this project is
related to the Baker /Bayway Drainage Ditch that was just
discussed with Norman Dykes. It is the last of the pipelines
that will need to be adjusted. The estimated cost for
raising it is $61,421 and the agreement with the County is
that the City will be responsible for any utility adjustments.
Councilman Fuller asked if the finished elevation on the
pipeline would be within the City's specifications as far as
pipeline cover. Mr. Dykes responded that we do not have an
ordinance on pipelines. Councilman Fuller asked that Council
make a note of this and discuss it at a later date. Councilman
Philips asked where the money for this would come from. Mr.
Lanham responded that it would come from the bond fund.
Councilman Philips moved that Council adopt this proposed
ordinance. Councilman Fuller seconded the motion. The vote

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 11, 1983
Consider Setting Public Hearing on City of Baytown's Budget
Mr. Lanham suggested to Council that the hearing on the
city's budget be held at 7:00 p.m. at the next regular
Council meeting which will be August 25, 1983. Councilman
Philips made the motion to schedule the budget hearing for
the next Council meeting. Councilman Dickens seconded the
motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Wilbanks,

Mr. Lanham informed Council that they would also need
to set a proposed tax rate at the August 25 meeting. This
is not the final tax rate but just a legal requirement.
City Attorney, Randy Strong, explained to Council that this
is when a determination is made as to whether the tax rate
will exceed the three percent limit that calls for a public
hearing. He stated that if Council determines that the
three percent rate will not be exceeded, there will be no
need to schedule the public hearing on the tax rate.
Discuss Request of the City of Mont Belvieu for Annexation
of the land in the Vicinity of Highway 146 - Interstate
10 Area
Council was provided with a letter from Fred R. Miller,
Mayor of the City of Mont Belvieu, regarding annexation of
land in the vicinity of Highway 146 - Interstate 10 area.
The area discussed is the tract of land bounded on the north
by Interstate 10, on the south by Needlepoint Road, on the
east by Highway 146, and on the west by Cedar Bayou. The
City of Mont Belvieu is interested in annexing this territory.
The land is in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City
of Baytown. In order for the City of Mont Belvieu to annex
this land, the City of Baytown would be required to release
the area as well as de -annex the portion of the ten foot
strip running along Interstate 10.

Mr. Lanham stated that the City has had numerous calls
from real estate people asking about the possibility of city
service to an area of land in that vicinity. He stated that
the response had been that it was not economically feasible
for Baytown to provide city services out there that are
provided in the city proper.
Councilman Johnson stated that he had received calls
from people in Julie Ann Villa about a petition that is
being passed around that will be presented to the City of
Mont Belvieu. Mr. Lanham stated that the City of Mont
Belvieu would still have to come back to the City of Baytown
for permission.
30811 -11
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 11, 1983
Mayor Cannon added that he felt that honoring this
request would be giving up the territory to the bayou.
Councilman Johnson stated that he had some reservations
about that also.
Mr. Lanham suggested that Council might want to have a
meeting with Mayor Miller of Mont Belvieu to discuss this
proposed annexation. Council agreed that this would be a
good idea, but they would have a work session on this before
they invited anyone from the City of Mont Belvieu.
Council decided to hold a work session at 5:30 p.m.
before the Council meeting on August 25, 1983, to discuss
this further before taking any action.
