City Manager's Report Trash Transfer Day - The Clean City Commission has scheduled a Trash Transfer Day for April 7. The location for trash transfer has not been established, but Robert E. Lee High School officials have been contacted in this regard. 40322 -2 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 General Telephone Company of the Southwest - Representa- tives of cities which will be affected by the request of General Telephone Company for rate increase met in Austin recently. The City Attorney reported that Don Butler had been retained to represent Texas Municipal League, and Hess and Limm have been retained as experts who will be looking at the rate base of the company, rate of return, capital items, etc. This firm will be preparing the testimony and testifying at the hearing. The City Attorney provided Council with an excerpt of the information filed by General Telephone which provided existing rates and the proposed changes. He reviewed the information for Council which would provide that the base rate for residential phones would increase from $17.80 to $20.75. The hearing will be held on May 29 before the Public Utilities Commission. The total rate request represents $84.8 million. Lee College Anniversary Celebration - On April 28, Lee College will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary and on that same day, the American Diabetes Association is sponsoring a 25 -mile bike race. In that connection, the city has been requested to close off certain streets in the vicinity of Lee College - -Lee Drive, between Market and Gentry; Gulf Street, eastbound land between Gulf and South Whiting; South Whiting between Gulf and Lee College and Gentry, Carnegie and Market Street, right lane only. Lee College is aware of the bike race and has no objections. The route is similar to the area that is closed for the Fourth of July parade. Drainage - The work on North Burnet has been completed; Woodside is 90% complete; Meador is 65% complete. Rollingbrook - West of Garth Road - The contractor is making excellent progress - -lime stabilization is about 60% complete; bridge construction is 50% complete and reinforced concrete pavement is about 35% complete. The contractor is prepared to pour additional concrete. City Personnel Recognized - Councilman Philips asked that the departments involved be apprised that the work on Edgewood and Woodside has been neat and very professionally performed. Councilman Dickens recognized Ed Shackelford for the work performed on Jack Street. Mr. Lanham mentioned that Ed is-now a registered professional engineer. Bayway Drive /Baker Road Drainage - The box culverts have been installed under Bayway Drive and telephone conduits, city water and sanitary sewer mains have been relocated. The project is about 45% complete. 40322 -3 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 Federal Emergency Management Agency - FEMA has reported regarding Brownwood that there has been no increase in the number of offers accepted. In fact, there was a decrease of one due to a previous miscalculation. There are seven additional parcels that are ready to be closed on March 29; nine were closed two or three weeks ago. The number of in- dividuals declining the offers has reduced from 35 to 30, and the number of offers pending has increased to 59. Questions /Comments From Council Councilman Philips mentioned the fire truck that has been at a repair shop since before Christmas. He stated that probably in this case there have been extenuating cir- cumstances, but in the future, perhaps rather than the lowest bid, the staff should consider the bidder that can get the equipment back into service in the shortest possible time. In response to Councilman Simmons, Mr. Lanham assured all present that the scheduling of Trash Transfer Day on April 7 had no correlation to the Municipal Election to be held that same day. Steve Harned Will Appear Stephen Harned, Meteorologist in charge, National Weather Service, along with Ron Stagnow of the National Weather Serive were present to honor Fletcher Hickerson, Coordinator, Baytown Emergency Management and Preparedness for his work in emergency management and preparedness. Mr. Hickerson was presented with a public service award from the National Weather Service in Washington which was a two part award consisting of a very nice plaque and a letter from Richard E. Hallgren, Assistant Administrator for Weather Services. A copy of the letter is attached to the minutes as Attachment "A." Consider Appeal of Ben D. Reading, dba Reading Buick, Inc. From Decision of Auto Wrecker Committee to Deny Application for Auto Wrecker Permit Steve Hebert, Attorney for Reading Buick, had presented a written request to delay consideration of the appeal until April 29 meeting; Council had no objections. Review Draft of Ordinance Regulating Construction or Recon- struction of Grade Crossings Several months ago, the City of Houston adopted an ordinance regulating construction or reconstruction of rail- road grade crossings. That ordinance was several pages long because it included sections regarding franchising and other items which were not included in the proposed ordinance for the City of Baytown. 40322 -4 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 Ron McLemore, Assistant City Attorney, explained that after the ordinance was adopted in Houston and during the negotiations with the railroad companies, Houston determined that the railroad companies had a preference as to the type crossings which preference had not been included in the ordinance; therefore, Houston is currently working with the railroad companies to modify its ordinance. In the proposed ordinance, the assistant city attorney has attempted to add the type things that might be preferred and leave room for negotiation. The ordinance provides that the railroad companies must maintain their crossings in good repair. The problem is what is good repair and what triggers that repair or replacement. These things will be addressed by attaching Schedules-= and II to the ordinance. Schedule I will be adopted with the ordinance and will provide detailed speci- fications for construction as well as the regulations that will trigger replacement or repair. After the ordinance is adopted, with Schedule I, the Administration will begin to negotiate with the railroad companies and the city engineer will begin a study by which priorities for repair or recon- struction will be established, as well as timetables to accomplish this end. The key to the ordinance will be in the first schedule - -the standard by which the determination will be made whether a crossing needs repair or reconstruction. Basically, two classes of crossings have been established- -first class and second class. The first class crossings will be on arterial streets, major thoroughfares or ones that have high volumes of traffic. The second class will be those in residential areas that are not arterial streets. On the first class, the railroad company will be able to elect the type construction desired and on the second class, the city will choose the materials. Reference in the ordinance to the closing of a crossing is provided so that the railroad company may place the city on notice that a particular crossing is to be closed in which case the tracks are removed. The Administration has developed a map which depicted those crossings which number 2,000 or more vehicles a day and those below 21000. Twenty -nine crossings numbered 2,000 or more vehicles a day and eleven numbered below 2,000. Houston uses 10,000 vehicles a day. Section 5 of the ordinance requires a flagman or signal - ization device at crossings which makes it an offense for a railroad company to have a train go through a crossing without a flagman or signalization to warn of approach. This provision is currently in effect in another section of the Code of Ordinances. In response to an inquiry from Council, Mr. Lanham stated that the railroad company would pay for these improve- ments up to their right of way, but in some cases, it may be necessary for the city to perform some street work. Mr. Lanham suggested that the Administration bring_ to Council a recommendation for adoption of an'ordinance, allow Council to look over the proposed ordinance and then send the ordinance to the railroad companies with a specified time to respond; Council had no objections. 40322 -5 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 Consider Preliminary Approval of Street Dedications to Extend Bush Road South and Burning Tree, St. Andrews, Ironwood and Alamance Drive East _ Johnnie Busch, representative of the developer, was present and stated that these streets are part of what is planned as a future subdivision. The developer plans to improve the streets and pave them in accordance with City of Baytown regulations. Since at the present time, the developer is not subdividing any property, it is necessary to obtain preliminary approval from Council. In the future the property adjacent to the streets will be subdivided in some manner, but at this point the developer has not decided on lot size. The developer requested that Council give some special con- sideration for the street name of the street that will be extended across from Bush Road. The subdivision ordinance specifically provides that extensions of existing streets will bear the name of that extended street. The developer would like for the street that will extend from its southern terminus at Country Club View to Baker Road to be named Cynda Brooke. The developer would like to maintain the name Cynda Brooke because it is more in keeping with the names of the other streets. Mr. Lanham stated that another consideration would be to check with the county to see if the county would consider renaming Bush Road. The county has work scheduled for Bush Road and that may be a good time to work with the.county to have the name changed. Councilman Philips stated that since Baker Road is such a tremendous divider that he would have no problem with allowing the developer to name the street that is to be within the subdivision Cynda Brooke and allow Bush Road to remain. Councilman Fuller pointed to the fact that the street in question will be a well traveled street into the subdivision; therefore, he felt that the city should ask for a left turn lane. Mr. Busch stated that the right of way could be widened for channelization of traffic. Mr. Lanham reminded Council that action on naming of the street would not be required, the only necessary action is preliminary acceptance of the street dedications. The decision on the naming of the street could be made later. Councilman Dickens moved to grant preliminary approval of the street dedications to extend Burning Tree, St. Andrews, Ironwood and Alamance Drive east and Bush Road south, but the extension would be named Cynda Brooke. Councilman Philips seconded the motion. Mr. Busch stated that the streets would be constructed in accordance with City of Baytown standards, afterwhich the streets will be inspected by the engineering department and upon approval, the developer will dedicate the street right of way to the City of Baytown. Council will need to accept that dedication. 40322 -6 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 Perry Walker, Chairman of the Planning Commission, was present and stated that the Planning Commission approved the extension of the streets, but would not approve the renaming of the street to Cynda Brooke because that is con- flict with what the subdivision ordinance provides. It would be up to Council to make that decision. Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks clarified that it is the res- ponsibility of Council to approve street dedications in those areas outside of a subdivision, and then Council would be dealing with an exception to the ordinance when considering the renaming of an extended street. The vote on the motion follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks Nays: None Consider Proposed Ordinance, Second and Final Reading on Proposed Annexation of San Jacinto Crossing and Adjacent Property Adoption of the proposed ordinance will finalize the annexation of San Jacinto Crossing and adjacent property. The Administration recommended adoption. Councilman Philips moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Dickens seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3772 AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE EXTENSION OF CERTAIN BOUNDARY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AND THE ANNEXATION OF SAN JACINTO CROSSING WHICH SAID TERRITORY LIES ADJACENT TO AND ADJOINS THE PRESENT BOUNDARY LIMITS FOR THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Placing the Newly Annexed Territory in Council District No. 6 In order to allow persons who reside in the newly annexed territory to vote in the April 7 Municipal Election, it is necessary to include this area in the proper council district. The Administration recommended approval. Councilman Dickens moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Fuller seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks Nays: None 40322 -7 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 ORDINANCE NO. 3802 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN ADDING CERTAIN PROPERTY TO COUNCIL DISTRICT NUMBER SIX (6); REPEALING ORDINANCES INCONSISTENT HEREWITH; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Contract for Improvements To Rollingbrook Drive South Lane from Garth Road to 880 Feet East Eight bids were received for this project which repre- sented a low of $66,116.25 to a high of $128,517.20. Harris County Engineering and Pruett Construction Company both recommended Hubco, Inc. as responsible and qualified contractor. The contract provides for completion in 45 working days, and the project will be funded through the 1981 Capital Improvements Program. The project will be 25 feet wide because the south half of the street is the only portion to be paved. The pavement will consist of seven inches of concrete with lime stabilization and storm drainage. A left turn lane will be constructed which will not be included in the assessment against the property owners. State law provides that 90% of the paving costs and all of the curb and gutter costs can be assessed against the property owners. Therefore, based on this low bid, the maximum amount that can be assessed is approximately $49,000. The contractor will not be able to begin work until a hearing on benefits is conducted. The Administration recommended approval of the low bidder, Hubco, Inc. of Houston. Councilman Philips moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Fuller seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3803 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR THE ROLLINGBROOK DRIVE IMPROVE- MENT PROJECT (SOUTH LANE FROM GARTH ROAD TO 880 FEET EAST) TO HUBCO, INC. FOR SIXTY SIX THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN AND 25/100 ($66,116.25) DOLLARS; DIRECTING THAT NO WORK BE STARTED ON SAID PROJECT UNTIL COMPLETION OF THE ASSESSMENT PROCEEDINGS; MAKING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. For tabulation, see Attachment "B." 40322 -8 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 Consider Scheduling Date for Hearing on Benefits for Rollingbrook Drive East of Garth Road Paving Assessment Project Councilman Philips moved to schedule the hearing on benefits for April 26; Councilman Dickens seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks Nays: None Mr. Lanham pointed out that the notice that would be published and mailed to the abutting property owners would include the maximum amount allowable by law which is $54.90 per front foot. After the hearing, Council will set the actual assessment. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Contract for Sanitary Sewer Line at IH -10 Rest Park The Administration has been talking with representatives of the highway department for several months concerning this project. The highway department presently operates a small wastewater treatment plant on the north side of Interstate 10 at the rest park. They are interested in connecting to the city's sanitary sewer system. A six inch line would be required to serve the highway department's need, but a sixteen inch line would serve a larger area. Therefore, bids were taken for the six inch line with an alternate bid for a sixteen inch line. The low bid on the sixteen inch line is Truco for $130,972. Jess Lovelace was low bidder on the six inch line for $81,730. The highway department has agreed to pay $50,000 toward construction of the line with no reimburse- ment; other property owners have committed to pay $50,000. Therefore, there are commitnents of $100,000 to pay toward the line which would leave $30,972 for the city to pay. The city would be able to collect at least a portion of the $30,972 as others tie into the line. Therefore, the Admin- istration feels that the best plan for the city is to construct the sixteen inch line since the big cost in this construction is boring under Interstate 10. Councilman Fuller moved to adopt the ordinance; Council- man Dickens seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks Nays: None For tabulation, see Attachment "C." 40322 -9 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 Consider Proposed Ordinance, Amending the Mechanical Code To Repeal Journeyman and Apprentice License Classifications The Mechanical Board has recommended amendment of the Mechanical Code to repeal journeyman and apprentice license classifications. The State of Texas is currently issuing licenses to air - conditioning contractors, but does not recognize the journeyman or apprentice license classifications. The state licensing at the present time in not mandatory, but will become mandatory in 1986 and does address those areas outside municipalities. The proposed amendment will bring the City of Baytown's ordinance into compliance with state law. Individuals who are currently licensed by the city or become licensed air - conditioning contractors by the city prior to 1986 can continue to renew their city licenses. Those who elect to obtain a state license will be able to perform work within the city without obtaining a City of Baytown license. New contractors seeking license after 1986 will be required to obtain a state license. The Admin- istration recommended adoption of the ordinance. Councilman Fuller moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Philips seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3805 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 16 1/2, "MECHANICAL CODE," BY THE DELETION OF REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO JOURNEYMEN AND APPRENTICES; CHANGING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN AIR CONDITIONING CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW; REPEALING ORDINANCES INCONSISTENT HEREWITH; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Approving Industrial District Agreement with Houston Lighting and Power Company The proposed contract was written based on the policy that was adopted a few years ago which increased the industry's payment to the city from 29.6% of the amount that would be paid if the industry were totally annexed to 35 %. Houston Lighting and Power has paid $393,000 for this fiscal year. Assuming the same tax rate and going to the 35% formula, Houston Lighting and Power Company will pay $465,000 under the new contract. The contract is the same as those approved for other industries for a term of seven years. D Councilman Philips moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Fuller seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks Nays: None 40322 -10 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 ORDINANCE NO. 3806 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST TO AN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AGREEMENT WITH HOUSTON LIGHTING AND POWER COMPANY; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing an Interlocal Agreement With Harris County for Jail Services The proposed contract will continue the arrangement that the city has had with Harris County for several years. The contract increases the payment from a guarantee of $73,400 to $75,000 and sets a maximum of $76,000. The Administration feels that this is a good arrangement for both the county and the city. The Administration recommended approval of the contract. Councilman Simmons moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Dickens seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3807 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST TO A CONTRACT WITH HARRIS COUNTY PROVIDING FOR JOINT PARTICIPATION BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE COUNTY WITH REGARD TO THE FURNISHING, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF JOINT JAIL FACILITIES; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Consent Agenda Prior to Council consideration of the Consent Agenda, Mr. Lanham requested that Item "h" be removed from consider- ation. The City Attorney addressed Item "i" which Council had given preliminary approval on at the last Council meeting. The ordinance contains the formal lease agreement, along with the description of the 10 X 27 foot rectangular area described as Tract A and the 1 X 8 foot rectangular area which is Tract B in the lease. The appraisal from the tax department figures to $84 a year as the fair rental value for the two tracts. In response to inquiry from Council, the City Attorney stated that the bank would have to comply with the provisions of the sign ordinance in order to erect the new signs and maintain the Quick Silver sign. Council considered the Consent Agenda Items a through g and Item j as follows: 40322 -11 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 a. Proposed Ordinance No. 40322 -7, will award the bid for a one ton utility truck. Bids were mailed to eleven vendors and the city received proposals from six companies.

Only one bid was received from Stewart & Stevenson, that being a bid of $30,383. The reason only one bid was received is this backhoe per specifications is a smaller unit which we use to get in between houses and in to other tight areas. At the present time, Stewart & Stevenson is the only manufacturer making such a piece of equipment. We recommend the low bid of Stewart & Stevenson be accepted. 40322 -12 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 g. Proposed Ordinance No. 40322 -13, will award the bid for full actuated traffic signal control equipment. Bids were mailed to four vendors and three responses were received.

S. Army Corps of Engineers to Hold a Public Hearing on the Permit Request Of Tx Tx Corporation The Administration became aware of the request to the Corps of Engineers after the agenda was posted. The applicant proposes to construct bulk transfer facility, a barge mooring area and perform certain dredging in the Houston Ship Channel near Spilmans Island and Hogg Island. The plan is to dredge more than 1,000,000 cubic yards of material, provide a mooring area and barge transfer facility. The Administration was made aware of this by a call from a Baytown Sun reporter. The Corps of Engineers was contacted and asked to send a copy of the official notice. That notice established a deadline of March 12 for protest or request for hearing. Mr. Lanham contacted a representative of the Corps and was in- formed that if Council took action requesting that a hearing be held, that request would be taken into account. The thing that has people in Morgans Point concerned is the type material that will be handled. According to the application, ships will be loaded and off loaded at the proposed bulk handling facility. In other words, the barges will be moved from the mooring area to the loading and unloading area. The primary product to be handled is petroleum coke. The secondary products to be handled include concrete clinkers, limestone aggregate and potash. Barges will be shuttled from the barge loading area to be loaded or unloaded by a barge mounted enclosed bucket clamshell. The engineering firm that has been handling the application was contacted to obtain information about plans for control of dust to prevent par- ticles from blowing through the air. However, in order to make a response to the application, the Administration feels that more time is needed in order to gather more information. Therefore, the Administration recommended that Council ask the Corps of Engineers to hold a public hearing on this issue to provide those answers, not only to Baytown and its citizens, but to others in the area. Congressmen Fields has been contacted about this and he too, is asking that the Corps hold a public hearing so that more information can be obtained. Council members Philips and Fuller stated that coke is a messy material that carries long distances. Councilman Fuller moved for adoption of the resolution; Councilman Philips seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Simmons, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tem Wilbanks Nays: None RESOLUTION NO. 870 A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PERMIT REQUEST OF TXTX CORPOR- ATION TO DO CERTAIN WORK IN THE HOUSTON SHIP CHANNEL NEAR THE CITY OF BAYTOWN; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. 40322 -15 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 22, 1984 Transportation Stud Councilman Fuller stated that Council had held a work session on the Houston - Galveston Area Council's transporta- tion study which was a very good study, and he inquired if Council intended to review this at a future work session in order to plan to move ahead. Councilman Philips stated that from his experience on the Transportation Planning Commission for H -GAC, the park and rides are very useful and people are happy to have the facility. He felt that sooner or later Council would need to recognize that people live in Baytown who want to travel to Houston, and in order to provide some mechanism to accomplish this, it will be necessary to become involved with Metro. He encouraged the holding of another work session on the subject. Councilman Philips stated that he felt that Metro would be willing to enter an agreement with the City of Baytown on a trial basis. Mr. Lanham mentioned that another thing that the study pointed to was special legislation that would give cities such as Baytown the authority to levy some type of tax. Therefore, if Council is thinking of asking the legislature, in cooperation with other cities, for that type authority that decision probably needs to be made soon. Councilman Philips asked that the Administration try to get information on the proposed legislation so that Council could review it. Council scheduled a work session for 5:30 p.m. on April 12. Adjourn There being no further business to be transacted, the meeting was adjourned. Eileen P.
