The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Cannon Nays: None Receive Petitions No petitions were presented. City Manager's Report Introduction of New Finance Director - Mr. Lanham introduced Ken Mitchell, the new Director of Finance for the City of Baytown. General Telephone Company Rate Request Increase - General Telephone Company of the Southwest has filed for a rate increase totaling $4,800,000. Under the Public Utilities Regulatory Act of 1975, original rate jurisdiction of tele- phone companies was placed with the Public Utilities Com- mission, not with cities; therefore, the city has no rate making function with regard to the request. In the past, 40223 -2 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 23, 1984 Texas Municipal League has helped to organize an intervention by interested cities in rate cases through the legal assistance of Don Butler who does this type work for the Texas Municipal League and other cities. Presently, a number of cities are before the PUC to participate in the Southwestern Bell case, and recently, the City Attorney attended a meeting in Austin on the AT &T rate case. Past history has been for the city to participate with TML and other cities, and the City Attorney expects to hear from TML shortly in that regard. Unless Council has objections to this type participation, probably the Administration would go ahead and give an initial agreement to that concept and then report back to Council if there is a cost involved; Council expressed no objections. Residential Energy Cost Control Program - Last week Harold Cheek, Administrative Assistant in Public Works Department, attended a meeting with representatives of state government and Houston Lighting and Power Company where a residential energy cost control program was discussed. Houston Lighting and Power has plans to have a highly publicized program during the period March 2 through May 31. The company has asked that the city participate in this by calling the public's attention to the availability of the program. The Administration suggested that the city participate in this by providing materials on the program in the City Hall lobby area, as well as the possibility of a brief message on water bills. The company will provide a quick energy savings test and walk through audit. The company is going to promote the installation of water heater jackets by encouraging local groups to sell those. HL &P and the Houston Air Conditioning Council will provide inspection and tune up of residential central air conditioning units, and the cost of this is $40 unless the family is low income. Council had no problems with the Administration cooperating with the light company in making the citizens of Baytown aware that these services are available. 1984 Population, Land Use, Growth Report - The 1984 report indicates that the population estimate is 58,538 which is about 1100 below the estimate for 1983 -- 59,635. In the housing inventory table, a net loss of 55 single family or low density family units is reflected. One of the reasons for that is the Brownwood situation where more than 300 homes were taken out of the inventory. There was not construction of new homes to offset that. The 152 is another minus figure in high density units. There were 618 units which remain unrepaired due to storm or freeze damage as of December 31. Many of those are on East James at Townlake Apartments which have been vacated while in a state of repair. The vacancy rate in the high density units is estimated at 17% which is about what it was last year, but if the 618 units that are now vacant are taken into account the per- centage is about 22 %. The storm, cold weather and economic conditions have all contributed to the reduction. However, there are definite signs that the economy is greatly improved. 40223 -3 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 23, 1984 Street Sweeping Schedule - For the last several months, the street department has been sweeping virtually all of the residential areas in the city on a regular basis, along with the thoroughfares. This resulted in the thoroughfares not being swept as often as needed and in some cases, street sweeping was being provided in residential areas where it was not needed. Therefore, a street sweeping schedule has been devised to assure proper sweeping of the thoroughfares. A copy of the schedule is attached to the minutes as Attachment "A." Council had no objections to instituting this schedule. Gift of Trees - Donations of $1,350 have been received through the Gift of Trees Program which money is being used to purchase quality oak trees of good size, and in addition to that, the Parks Department has transplanted more than 150 trees in various parks where several trees were lost during Alicia. Those two programs together are helping to replace many of the trees lost during Alicia. Accident Incident Report - In 1981 -82, there were 153 accidents involving city employees and last year, there were 108. Mr. Lanham commended the employees and supervisors for the reduction. Highway 146 Improvement - The Administration did contact the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation regarding work on Highway 146. The contractor has begun to work on Highway 146 this week. The reason that work had been halted is the fact that a temperature of 55 degrees is necessary, as well as a dry surface. Brownwood - FEMA has reported that 200 appraisals have been completed; 53 offers of FEMA have been accepted; 29 have rejected the offers; 55 are pending and 9 of the proposals have reached agreement and are scheduled for closing on February 29. Purchase dragline for brush pit operations - At the last Council meeting, the problems at the brush burning pit were discussed. The contractors are nearing completion of the work authorized at that meeting. The Administration had mentioned when this was discussed that the damage to the walls was the result of the heat and the concentrated load imposed by the front end loader that had been used to push the brush into the pit. The Administration has been looking at the various options available for lease or purchase of a dragline. It is possible to purchase a used dragline. The Administration inquired if Council had any objections to the taking of bids for the purchase of a used dragline. Council encouraged the Administration to be very careful in the selection of a used dragline, but expressed no objection to seeking bids. Mr. Lanham emphasized that the staff would develop specifications to assure that the equipment was in a good state of repair to minimize down time and assure a more efficient brush burner operation. Bayway /Baker Road Drainage Project - That project has begun again and the box culverts are being installed under Bayway Drive, and the contractor is about 25% complete on that part of the project. 40223 -4 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Feburary 23, 1984 Rollingbrook Drive West of Garth - Lime stabilization is 45% complete; bridge construction is 45% complete; 11% of the pavement has been installed and 95% of the drainage work has been completed. Questions /Comments of Council Councilman Fuller reported that the 9 -1 -1 Board met on Friday and arrived at the fee that was to be charged which equals to 1.76% of the phone bill or about $ .20. The decision to go with the $ .20 was based on figures developed on what it will cost to actually issue bonds. The cost to install the 9 -1 -1 System is estimated to be anywhere from $5,500,000 to $6,000,000. On a 15 year bond sale, the interest paid would equal about $6,000,000 and if the board went to a 25 year bond program, the interest payment would be about $12,000,000. The board felt that the people would prefer the "pay as you go" approach which would result in everyone paying about $2.50 a year for about two years because the plans are for the program to be installed within two years. The board has appointed an executive director who will begin working on a full time basis in April. The phone company is gathering all the necessary information for the preliminary work and in short order, the board will be able to authorize purchase of equipment. Councilman Johnson mentioned that at the beginning of the discussion on 9 -1 -11 Council had adopted a resolution supporting that proposition based on the thought that the initial cost would be anywhere from $ .03 to $ .04 with the $ .20 coming into play after the system is operational. Councilman Fuller stated that in the beginning that he too felt that in the initial stages of the program, it would not be necessary to expend the full $ .20, but as the figures to institute the program were developed, it was plain to see that it would be best to expend the $ .20 at the begin- ning to save the interest on the bonds. When the 9 -1 -1 proposition was being discussed, the people were promised that the cost would never exceed the $ .20, and the board has maintained that level of expenditure. In the future, the board feels that it may be possible to cut that amount down a few cents. However, Councilman Fuller emphasized that even if the cost are not reduced, the maximum amount that can be assessed is $2.50 a year to put in a program that is so widely accepted in the community. Councilman Johnson clarified that he was in favor of 9 -1 -1, but felt that the reason for going to the $ .20 should be specified since it was a deviation from what was originally anticipated. City Employees Honored - Councilman Dickens mentioned that in Wednesday edition of the Baytown Sun there was an article mentioning that the Baytown Pilot C ub had honored 11 persons for their service to the community and 8 of those were City of Baytown employees. Councilman Dickens stated that this was indicative of the high caliber individuals who work for the City of Baytown. 40223 -5 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 23, 1984 Phone System at City Hall - Larry Patterson, Assistant City Manager, reported to Council that the phone system had been fully installed and in place about one month prior to Hurricane Alicia. One of the reasons this particular system had been recommended to Council was the environmental control features. At the time of Alicia, humidity in the building was very high, in fact water was standing on the floor, but the equipment continued to perform through the emergency. Later it was learned that several circuits were burned, but the company responded immediately to correct the problems. For long distance calling, Sprint is being utilized which has produced a considerable savings, and in the future, more changes are going to be made which will produce even more of a savings. The base charge will be reduced from $1,000 a month to about $340 a month. Mayor Cannon requested that attention be given to Ferry Road at Cedar Bayou Bridge with the thought of placing a barricade at that location. Jim Lovell Will Appear Mr. Lovell appeared to express his concern and that of his constituents in the furniture business with the apparent increase of vendors who operate along the roadside by selling furniture, as well as other merchandise from trucks. Mr. Lanham stated that in order to sell or offer for sale goods or merchandise upon or from a truck or other vehicle, an itinerant merchant's permit is necessary, unless that individual has obtained a 30 -day rental or lease to occupy that space. In the event the individual obtains a 30 -day rental or lease for the space, no permit is necessary. A permit may be obtained by making application to the City Clerk's office. A charge of $10 is assessed, and the permit is issued for a one year period from the date of issuance. The Chief of Police has instructed his people to stop and ask if the vendor has a permit or a lease agreement. Council expressed concern that the citizens of Baytown would be afforded little protection should they purchase merchandise from these vendors and then later have a problem. Also, the point was made by Mr. Lovell that these people pay no property taxes and possibly they do not pay sales tax. The Legal Department will research the law concerning itinerant merchants and report to Council. 40223 -6 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 23, 1984 Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Renewal of the Contract With Harris County for Bookmobile Service This contract is the same as the current contract with the exception that the amount has been increased by 3% over last year's contract. The Administration feels this to be a good program, both for the city and the county and recommends adoption of the ordinance. Councilman Fuller moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilwoman Wilbanks seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Cannon Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3777 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN TO EXECUTE AND ATTEST TO A CONTRACT WITH HARRIS COUNTY WITH REGARD TO PROVIDING BOOKMOBILE PROGRAMS WITHIN BAYTOWN AND IN UNINCORPORATED AREAS IN THE COUNTY AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Amending the Swimming Pool Ordinance to Regulate Public and Semi - Public Hot Tubs and Spas The proposed ordinance is directed toward the regulation of commercial or multi - family spas, not backyards spas owned by a family, although the fencing requirement of the ordinance would apply in all cases. The ordinance will not affect whirlpools or spas that are emptied after each usage which is the case in the public schools. Basically, this ordinance will provide for the type of construction that is allowed for these facilities; it will insure installation of proper circulation systems and it will regulate chlorination and the ph of the water, which will provide for the protection of the public with regard to safety and health hazards. The Administration recommended adotpion of the ordinance. Councilman Fuller moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Dickens seconded the motion.

The rafters needed extra bracing, some wall studs were deteriorated and had to be replaced, and the wall heater malfunctioned, causing an intense heat buildup which damaged the heater beyond repair. The heater had been certified by a local licensed plumber, but a vent pipe which was inside the wall and could not be inspected caused the problem. The change order will increase the contract by 22% or $1,314; therefore, Council authorization is necessary. Councilman Dickens moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Fuller seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Simmons, Wilbanks, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Cannon Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3779 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 TO THE CONTRACT WITH JOHN KIDD FOR THE REHABILITATION OF 1705 MARYLAND.

Adoption of the ordinance will make the name change official. The Administration recommended adoption of the ordinance. Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Dickens seconded the motion.

Consent Agenda The consent agenda was considered as follows: 40223 -9 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 23, 1984 a. Proposed Resolution No. 866, will authorize the signatures for withdrawal of funds from the City's depository in accordance with Section 77 of the Charter.

In the absence of the city manager, checks may be countersigned by the city clerk. This resolution would authorize the signature of Kenneth Mitchell, Finance Director, as the city treasurer and Lawrence Patterson, Assistant City Manager as his deputy and Fritz Lanham, City Manager and Eileen Hall, who would be able sign in the absence of the City Manager.

Proposed Ordinance No. 40223 -7, will repeal Ordinance No. 3769 and authorize traffic signals at the intersection of Garth Road and Birdsong. Ordinance No. 3769 was approved by City Council on Feb. 9. However, due to an error in the legal notices, this action is necessary. Justification for this signalization is based on the volume warrant. The estimated cost for signalization of this intersection is $21,000. This proposal has been reviewed by the Traffic Commission and they are in agreement with the signalization of this intersection. We recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 40223 -7. 40223 -10 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - February 23, 1984 e. Proposed Ordinance No. 40223 -8, will repeal Ordinance No. 3770, and authorize the installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Garth Road and Sharon Lane. There was an error with the legal notice on Ordinance No. 3770 so action is needed on this ordinance. Also, in conjunction with the installation of a traffic signal, a southbound left turn bay of approximately 150 feet should be provided. Also needed is an easement to accommodate the installation of the mall side of the intersection. The justification for the signalization is based on the accident warrant. The estimated cost of the left turn bay is $7,500; the estimated signalization cost of $20,000.

Dykes FROM: Harold Cheek K'r" SUBJECT: Street Sweeping Schedule The street department is'currently following the schedule indicated below in its street sweeping. Thoroughfares Swept Twice .a Month During Daytime 1. Loop 201 2. Decker Drive 3. Market Street. 4. Lynchburg Road 5. West Main 6. North Main 7.- East Texas Avenue 8. Baker Road 9. Garth Road' 10. Rollingbrook Drive Thoroughfares Swept Twice a Month During Nighttime 1. Highway 146 2. Defee Street 3. Sterling Street -.4. Downtown Areas S. Martin L. King Street b. City Hall -Civic Center Complex Streets Thoroughfares Swept Once - Streets Swept During the a Month During Daytime Remainder of a Month 1. Ward Road 1. Residential Areas 2. East James 3. Park Street 4. Lee Drive 5. Pruett Drive 6. West Texas Avenue The normal procedure is to sweep the thoroughfares which are swept twice a month during the first and third weeksof a month. Thoroughfares des - ignated- as being swept once e-a month are scheduled during the second week of a month. The remainder of a month is reserved for incompleted thoroughfare sweeping that was unable to be finished because of inclement weather or equipment breakdown and residential street sweeping. Furthermore, the above schedule shows the sequence of the thoroughfares swept during a month. For example, Highway 146 would be the first thoroughfare swept in a month during nighttime. It would be followed during subsequent nights by the sweeping of Defee Street, Sterling Street, and so on. Likewise, Loop 201 would be given first priority on the first week of the month during daytime, followed in order by Decker Drive, Market Street, and so forth.' Occasionally; the sweeper may get ahead of schedule. Therefore, it may not be starting on Highway 146 at the beginning of a month. Nevertheless, the plan above indicates whatis usually accomplished during a month. - Because of the unscheduled nature of inclement weather and equipment breakdowns, it is impossible to adhere to a rigid schedule of sweeping certain thoroughfares on certain dates and times each month. However, there is no reason why the above schedule cannot be followed closely. This. plan enables the street department to exert a maximum effort in sweeping thorough- fares given the City's current resources of manpower and equipment. HC /np TITLE.
