Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 22, 1983
City Manager's Report
Senior Citizen Taxi Program Survey - Council had been
furnished a copy of the Senior Citizen Taxi Program Survey.
The report indicated that presently there are 515 people
enrolled in the program. The number has been about the same
for the last several months. During the first six months
of 1983, 341 of the enrollees used the service, which is
almost 68% of the number who have cards. According to 64%
of the users the service has improved since their enrollment
in the program. The report also contained a questionaire
regarding bus service and responses to that questionaire were
included.
"Councilman Simmons present.
Revenue Sharing - The City Manager has received an
unofficial report that revenue sharing, after having passed
the House, has passed the Senate and has been referred to
the Conference Committee.
Brush Clearance - The burn sites have been closed to
the public; therefore, persons wishing to dispose of debris
may use the Hazelwood Landfill.
Brush Pickup - This activity is continuing with city
crews working a six -day week. All contractors have been
dismissed. Beginning next Monday, city crews will be using
three brush pickers, plus one gradall and will start anew
on the pickup of brush. Prior to Hurricane Alicia, brush
pickup was handled on a three -week schedule to cover the
entire city. Since there is still debris that will need to
be removed, it will probably take longer this next time
around. It may be necessary to hire additional trucks to
be loaded with debris for disposal at the landfill.
Policing of the Brownwood Area - The Administration's
plan is to remove the command post at the entry way into
the Brownwood area on October 6, but an officer will be on
duty at all times patrolling the area.
Regulation of Cable Television - Several cities have
banned together through Texas Municipal League to defeat
Senate Bill 66, Federal Telecommunications Act of 1983,
which would regulate cable television. In as much as the
City of Baytown does not regulate cable television rates,
the Administration feels that enactment of this act would
have very little affect on Baytown.
Randy Strong, City Attorney, explained to Council that
originally the cable television industry had introduced some
legislation that was very restrictive on local ability of
cities to regulate and control cable services. The National
League of Cities worked a compromise bill with the cable
lobby, Senate Bill 66, which has passed in the Senate. The
cities affected by this legislation feel that Senate Bill 66
is bad for several reasons:
30922 -3
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 22, 1983
1. It would prevent cities from exercising their
traditional role of rate regulation. This is true.
In five (5) years in the Baytown area, cities will
not be able to regulate rates of cable television
companies. However, this will not affect Baytown,
because Baytown is not regulating rates now.
2. Cities will not be able to protect consumers from
unreasonable and unjustified rate increases. Again,
Baytown is not regulating rates now. Even under
the compromise, if rate regulation continues, the
cable operator can raise its rate index by five
(5%) percent, or whatever the Consumer Price Index
is, whichever is greater.
3. Another objection that the cities have is that
cities will not be able to insure non - discriminatory
access to the system. The Attorney stated that he
was unable to determine exactly what this objection
meant, but if it meant that the company had to
provide an access channel, the current franchise
agreement for cable television service, requires
that the company make time available for the city
or local schools for educational purposes and so
forth. In fact, the company is supposed to have
all the public buildings and schools wired up to
the outside of the building.
4. The compromise agreement violates the sanctity of
existing contracts between cities and cable companies.
That may be a problem for other cities, but the City
of Baytown's franchise agreement will not be affected
by the bill as it is presently written.
5. The bill would virtually grant a monopoly in perpetuity
to existing franchise holders, depriving consumers
of the latest state of the art technology, and
cities would find it difficult, if not impossible,
to change cable operators, even after the franchise
term has expired. There is some element of truth
to that. If a franchise is about to expire, you
do have to deal first with that operator, but there
are some specific reasons that cities can deny
renewing license to an incumbent operator. One
of the reasons was that the system of services do
not meet the community needs. If the system is
outdated, then one could argue that it is not meeting
the community needs by having the capability to
provide the updated services. In fact, the way
the bill is written, since there are some clear
guidelines in what the cable company must do to
keep its franchise, may be a benefit to the city.
In the City of Baytown's case, the most current
equipment has recently been installed with a
capability to expand to some 400 plus channels if
the demand exists. Since the company has a city -wide
system now, they probably already have a financial
monopoly. However, the existing franchise is a
non - exclusive franchise which would allow another
company to operate.
30922 -4
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 22, 1983
The City Attorney concluded by stating that from Baytown's
standpoint, he didn't feel that any of the reasons listed
by the cities objecting to SB66 applied to Baytown.
Mr. Lanham stated that if Council had any interest in
the City of Baytown's participation in the attempted defeat
of SB66, an item could be placed on the next Council agenda.
The cost to the City of Baytown would be $600 to participate;
Council indicated no desire to participate.
Rollingbrook Drive Extension - The contractor has one
hundred (100 %) percent of the road and ditch right of way
cleared, and some drainage material has been moved onto the
site. A temporary ditch has been constructed to drain
standing water from the area.
1983 Street Improvement Program - The contractor is working
in four areas -- Dayton Street, Brown Loop, Nolan Road and
Jack Street.
Sanitary Sewer on Rollingbrook - The contractor has
laid the eight (81') inch sanitary sewer pipe up to the bridge
at the east fork of the street.
Questions /Comments of Council
Mr. Lanham, in response to inquiry from Council, stated
that now that the city is cutting back on its debris clearing
efforts, crews will begin work on pothole repairs.
The parks contractor has been performing satisfactorily.
He has completed about sixty -five (65 %) percent of the work in
this area and started work at Roseland Park today. There is
no prohibition against his working in more than one area, but
he will not be paid until the work is completed.
Councilman Johnson requested that attention be paid to
the glass on the sidewalk in front of what used to be the
Nu -Royal Cafe on Texas Avenue. Councilman Fuller stated that
there was also glass broken out of the building across from
the bank.
Mayor Cannon mentioned that Sometime back, Council had
discussed the problem of barges on San Jacinto River, but
no formal action had been taken. After Hurricane Alicia,
it is evident that the barges could be blown up onto IH -10
or worse, the barge action could knock the bridge completely
out. Since the hurricane, Congressman Fields has shown an
interest in the problem; therefore, Mayor Cannon requested
that the Administration prepare a resolution for consideration
at the next meeting.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors is encouraging cities to
pass resolutions expressing concern and support of the National
Government in this Korean airliner incident. A resolution
had been prepared by the Legal Department, and a copy of
that resolution was placed at the Council table. Mayor Cannon
asked Council to review the resolution, and let him know if
there were any objections to his signing off on the resolution.
30922 -5
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 22, 1983
Mayor Cannon recognized State Representative Tony
Polumbo as a member of the audience.
Councilman Johnson stated that he had received a copy
of the Austin American Statesman which contained an extensive
article on the Brownwood destruction. In that article, the
statement was made that there was looting and that a week
passed before the city placed any patrols out there. This
is an untruth. Councilman Johnson stated that he intended
to write a letter to the editor of the newspaper requesting
a correction.
Mayor Cannon added that the same reporter had called him
and that he had been misquoted in the article.
Ms. Pat Collins who previously resided at 122 MacArthur
stepped forward to commend the Baytown Police Department in
their efforts to protect the Brownwood area.
Mrs. Peggy Williams Will Appear
Mrs. Peggy Williams, who resides at 1418 Kilqore Road,
reported to Council that the marina behind her house had
an excavated area where all sorts of materials had been dumped
for several years. This became a real problem when Hurricane
Alicia came through and the materials from that excavated area
were strewn throughout the area.
Mr. Lanham stated that he would have the matter investigated,
but it sounded like this activity may be classified as a
landfill activity which would be regulated by the State
Health Department.
Consider Authorizing The Administration to Lease Office Space
For Use in Providing Assistance to Disaster Victims
Since the Red Cross has moved out of the Teen Center,
FEMA feels that this will free up enough space for their
operations to continue in that location; therefore, it will
not be necessary to lease additional office space.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Amending Chapter 17, Section
17 -2, Firearms and Target Ranges to Prohibit the Discharge
Of Shotguns Within 500 Feet of City Limits
Council previously adopted an ordinance which prohibits
the discharge of weapons within 5,000 feet of the city limits.
This ordinance was adopted to deal with the problem of a
rifle range which was being operated north of Coady, because
bullets from that range were coming into the city limits.
In response to that, the ordinance was adopted which pro -
hibited the discharge of all types of weapons within 5,000
feet of the city, but it made no distinction between rifles
and shotguns. It developes that there are persons within the
5,000 feet who would like to be allowed to hunt birds on
their property and invite their friends-to hunt. The Adminis-
tration has studied the problem and feels that there is no
need for the 5,000 feet requirement to apply to shotguns.
30922 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 22, 1983
Therefore, an amendment has been drafted and is recommended
by the Administration which would provide that it is an
affirmative defense to prosecution if a shotgun is discharged
just outside the 500 feet, but within the 5,000 feet, if
the discharge is confined to property owned or lawfully
hunted by the persons charged and the shell consists of shot
no larger than No. 4 Birdshot. What this would do is to
permit a person to hunt with the type of shot indicated
on property that he owns or lawfully hunts as long as it
does not occur within 500 feet of the city.
Councilman Johnson moved for the adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Dickens seconded the motion.
In response to a comment from Representative Polumbo,
the City Attorney verified that the proposed ordinance would
not be in conflict with state law. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks,
Fuller and Dickens
Mayor Cannon
Nays: None
ORDINANCE NO. 3679
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 17 -2, "FIREARMS AND TARGET
RANGES" OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES PROVIDING FOR AFFIRMATIVE
DEFENSE; PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE; CONTAINING A SAVINGS
CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing an Agreement with
FEMA Concerning Section 1362 - Property Acquisition Program
This proposed agreement was reviewed at the last Council
meeting, and Council agreed that the Administration should
submit the agreement to FEMA with certain changes. Those
changes have been submitted to FEMA, but no response has
been received. Therefore, it is possible that a special
session of Council may be necessary if the agreement is
received too far in advance of a regularly scheduled meeting.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Increasing Rate Charged for
Sewer Service
The budget that Council approved at the special meeting
last week was based on increasing the rate charged for sanitary
sewer service from $4.50 for the first 2,000 gallons to $5.00
and increase the charge for each 1,000 gallong of water above
that from $ .85 to $1.00. The limit of 10,000 gallons of
water would still apply. This represents about a fifteen
(15 %) percent increase and will generate $350,000 in revenue.
The Administration recommended approval of the ordinance.
.r
Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Fuller seconded the motion, stating that he did
not like the increase, but realized that the increase was
necessary. The vote follows:

CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE
DATE HEREOF.
Consider Approval of 1983 -84 BAWA Budget
The Baytown Area Water Authority Board has reviewed
and approved the proposed 1983 -84 BAWA Budget; however, the
law that established BAWA requires that City Council also
approve the authority's budget. The proposed budget is
reduced below the current budget by about $164,000. It is
based on anticipated revenues that BAWA would receive next
year from the sale of water to the City of Baytown and others.
The Administration recommended approval of the 1983 -84 BAWA
Budget.
Councilman Simmons moved for approval of the 1983 -84
BAWA Budget; Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The
vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks,
Fuller and Dickens
Mayor Cannon
Nays: None
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Repealing Ordinance No. 3671
and Awarding the Bid for Janitorial Services at the Baytown
Police and Municipal Court Building to Jani -King
By the adoption of Ordinance No. 3671, Council awarded
the bid for Janitorial Services at the Baytown Police and
Municipal Court Building to Town and Country; however, Town
and Country was unable to secure the necessary number of
personnel to perform the bid. Therefore, the Administration
is recommending that Ordinance No. 3671 be repealed and
that the bid for Janitorial Services at the Baytown Police
and Municipal Court Building be awarded to Jani -King for the
amount of $12,367. Jani -King is requesting that $1,400 of
the contract be expended immediately due to the fact that
extra work will be required to put the building in shape to
maintain it on a regular basis.
Mayor Cannon expressed concern that the low bidder had
reneged on the contract and inquired about the possibility of
more stringent requirements for bidders. Mr. Lanham responded
that to add a bidder's bond requirement would cause the bids
to be higher in order that the cost of the bond be covered.

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Designating All Way Stop at
Rollingwood Drive and North Burnett Drive and Establish-
ing Yield Signs on Gulfway Drive at Spring Lane
The Traffic Commission recommended the establishment of
all way stops at Rollingwood Drive and North Burnett based
on a petition presented to that body. Mrs. Beverly Manne,
192 North Burnett, stated that she had been a resident of
Baytown for 35 years and was very familiar with the streets
in her neighborhood. The neighborhood is quiet and there
are seldom two cars at the intersection at one time. Besides
that, Lakewood Subdivision is situated off from the highway
and persons traveling in the neighborhood usually live there.
There is not a great amount of through traffic. Mrs. Manne
felt that Council should be more cautious about establishing
four -way stops and requested that Council table the matter
for further study or vote it down.
Bill Cornelius, Director of Planning and Traffic, in
response to Council inquiry, stated that although no official
counts had been taken, that department had had enough experience
in making counts to know that the necessary warrants for
establishment of all way stops could not be met in a residential
neighborhood. A stop sign was installed in July on Rollingwood
by Council action. The petition came in after that installation.
Councilman Fuller felt that the portion of the ordinance
dealing with the establishment of the all way stop should
be tabled until there is more history on the stop sign in
place. Therefore, Councilman Fuller moved to adopt the ordin-
ance with an amendment to the ordinance to exclude the estab-
lishment of the all way stop at Rollingwood and Burnett Drive
and that the establishment of all way stop be tabled; Council-
man Dickens seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks,
Fuller and Dickens
Mayor Cannon

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Expressing the Desire of the
City Council to Continue Its Present Group Policy with
Texas Municipal League Insurance Trust Fund for Life
Insurance, Major Medical Benefits and Basic Medical
Benefits for the City of B ytown's Employees
During budget work sessions the Administration had in-
dicated that the Texas Municipal League Group Insurance
would increase by twenty -seven (27 %) percent, but the staff
would continue to negotiate for a better package. Richard
Hare, Director of Personnel, in working with Texas Municipal
League has arranged to add dental coverage to the policy
within the twenty -seven (27 %) percent increase, out patient
coverage has been clarified and the city will continue to
fund premium payment clause. Under the dental coverage,
there is a $50 deductible clause for basic and major dental
services. There is no deductible for preventative services.
The policy will pay eighty (80 %) percent of the costs for
preventive and basic care and for major care, fifty (50 %)
percent of the cost. The policy does not cover costs for
orthodontic care. The Administration recommended approval
of the ordinance.

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Renewing Contract with Texas
Municipal League Workers Compensation Joint Insurance Fund
Fes° Adoption of this ordinance would continue the contract
with Texas Municipal League for Workers Compensation Insur-
ance coverage. This coverage was established several years
ago by Texas Municipal League and periodically bids are
taken. Recently, the carrier has been changed and now
Johnson and Higgins is handling coverage. There is a fund
modifier of seventy -five (75 %) percent; therefore, Baytown
is charged seventy -five (75 %) percent of the annual rate and
the remainder according to Baytown's experience. Last

year Baytown received a refund of approximately $56,000.
In the last two years, Baytown has saved about $190,000 due
to its good experience. The Administration recommended
approval of the ordinance.

Consent Agenda
Council considered the Consent Agenda as follows:
a. Proposed Ordinance No. 30922 -8, will authorize the
final payment for improvements to the Quail Hollow
Lift Station contractor. Artex Construction has
completed the modifications to the Quail Hollow
Lift Station as specified by the plans and speci-
fications. The contract was awarded in the amount
of $69,987. Total work performed to date is in
the amount of $69,987. Artex Construction has
been paid $20,290.61 leaving a balance of $49,696.39.
We recommend that Artex Construction be paid the
final amount of $49,696.39 for the modifications
to the Quail Hollow Lift Station.
b. Proposed Ordinance No. 30922 -9, would award the
annual masonry, lumber, paint and construction
materials contract. Bids were mailed to fourteen
C14j vendors. Only one (1) complete bid was
received. We received two partial bids. Possibly
Hurricane Alicia and related business damages
prevented most of the vendors from responding to
the requested proposal. Deer Park Lumber Company
was low bidder submitting a bid of $25,798.55.
Because of the interference'of Hurricane Alicia
with these bids, and because of the fact that it
may be possible for us through readvertisement,
to receive more bids and perhaps more competition,
the administration is recommending that the bid
received be rejected, and we readvertise for bids
for the annual masonry, lumber, paint and construc-
tion materials contract.
30922 -11
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 22, 1983
C. Proposed Ordinance No. 30922 -10, will award the
annual traffic paint contract. Bids were mailed
to seven (7) vendors; three (3) vendors responded.
Pinkley Sales Co. submitted the low bid of $10,686.
Council has budgeted $15,300 for this purchase.
We recommend the low bidder, Pinkley Sales Company
be awarded this contract.
d. Proposed Ordinance No. 30922 -11, will award the
bid for the purchase of front end loader and
backhoe. Bids were mailed to fifteen (15) vendors;
eight (8) bids were received. Hyco Equipment
Company submitted the low bid of $22,898. Council
budgeted $45,000 for this purchase.
We recommend the low bidder, Hyco Equipment Company
be awarded this contract.
e. Proposed Ordinance No. 30922 -12, will award the
bid for the purchase of side loading solid waste
collection vehicle. Bids were mailed to seven (7)
vendors; three (3) bids were returned, two of
which were no -bids. Benjamin Feld and Associates
submitted the low bid of $67,598. Council has
budgeted $85,000 for this purchase.
We recommend the low bidder, Benjamin Feld and
Associates be awarded this contract.
f. Proposed Ordinance No. 30922 -13, will award the
contract for the housing rehabilitation at 1215
West Carver. Three (3) bids were received. The
low bidder was Uranus Palton who submitted the bid
of $7,078.23. The office estimate for this project
was $7,500. This is the recommendation of the
Community Development Advisory Committee.
g. Proposed Ordinance No. 30922 -14, will award the
contract for housing rehabilitation at 1715 West
Humble. Three (3) bids were received. John Kidd
submitted the low bid of $6,920 for this rehabilita-
tion. The staff estimate for this project is
$7,350. The low bidder, John Kidd is the recommen-
dation of the Community Development Advisory
Committee.
h. Proposed Ordinance No. 30922 -15, will award the
contract for housing rehabilitation at 1020 Dailey
Street. The low bidder on this project was Uranus
Palton who submitted a low bid of $9,052.86. Mr.
Palton is a new contractor with housing rehabili-
tation program. It is the past practice with the
Community Development Advisory Committee to only
award one bid to a person until an initial project
is completed and inspected so that we can review
that contractor's work and develop a feel for
30922 -12
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 22, 1983
their craftsmanship. Mr. Palton has been contacted
in regards to this requirement and is in agreement with it.
The second low bid was submitted by John Kidd in the amount
of $9024. Mr. Kidd has indicated due to his current work
load that he would be unable to perform this contract.
Therefore, the Community Development Advisory Committee
recommends awarding the contract to the third low bidder,
that of Prosper Brothers Construction for the sum of $9,790.
The staff estimate for this project is $9,850.
i. Proposed Ordinance No. 30922- 16,_will repeal
Ordinance No. 3672, and award the bid for a 3/4
ton long bed pickup to Bayshore Dodge /Toyota, Inc.
City Council had awarded the bid for this truck to
San Jacinto
Ford at its August 25, 1983 meeting. When we contacted
San Jacinto Ford on the 26th to give them a firm order,
we were informed that the truck in question had been
damaged by Hurricane Alicia and had been taken by the
Ford Motor Company. Mr. Hugh Wood had located another
truck for us, but the cost of this vehicle was greater
than the original truck bid. Based on the new
pricing on these vehicles, we are recommending that the
bid for the 3/4 ton long bed pickup truck be
awarded to the second low bidder, Bayshore Dodge /Toyota,
Inc.
We would also recommend the alternate for painting
the vehcile be accepted. This would bring the total
bid price to $9,920.33. This is an increase of $81
over the original bid of San Jacinto Ford including
the paint.
j. Proposed Resolution No. 848, will extend the Emergency
Operations Regulation No. One. This action will extend
previous Council action as to provide for actions
the City may deem necessary to respond to the clean -up
operations in regards to the emergency created by Hurricane
Alicia.
The Administration recommended approval of the Consent
Agenda as submitted with the exception of Item b, on which
the recommendation was to reject the bid received and rebid
the contract.
Councilman Johnson moved to adopt the Consent Agenda with
the exception of Item b which should be rejected and rebid;
Councilman Dickens seconded the motion. The vote follows:
