City Manager's Report 1984 Street Improvement Program - The contractor on this project continues to make good progress. Since the last Council meeting, the contractor has completed the work on Largo, North Pruett, Knowlton, Beaumont and Ferry Road. There may be some cleanup that remains, but for the most part the work is complete. The contractor is in the process of repairing Yupon, Winkler, and Greenbriar for surfacing. Winkler is complete and the contractor is about 50% complete with base repairs on the other two. The total project is about 85% complete. 41011 -2 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 West Humble /West Gulf Community Development Program - The contractor has poured the concrete pavement on both West Gulf and West Humble. The project is about 75% complete. Roseland Oaks /Burnett Drive Lift Stations - Both lift stations have been placed in service and are virtually complete. Garth Road /Rollingbrook Drive /North Main Repairs - Concrete pavement is in place at Garth Road and Sharon Lane. Curb work remains to be done. On Garth Road, the pavement, as well as the curb work has been completed. The same is true of Rollingbrook Drive. The north lane of Rollingbrook Drive was opened today. The North Main /Cedar Bayou repairs are scheduled for 8:30 a.m. tomorrow. The street should be ready for opening on Monday morning. The contractor is using a special type of concrete mix there so that the street can be reopened in three days rather than five. Drainage - A map in the Council Chamber reflected drainage projects that had been completed, as well as those listed for the new fiscal year. Notice regarding garbage bags - Council was furnished with a copy of the notice that each City of Baytown utility customer will be receiving in the next few days regarding the mandatory requirement that garbage bags be utilized. Thanksgiving Day - Council meeting change -- The second Council meeting in November would fall on Thanksgiving Day. Council scheduled the second meeting in November for November 20. Questions /Comments-F-rom Council In response to an inquiry from Council, Mr. Lanham said that the plans are that city forces will be utilized to complete the proposed drainage improvements for 1984/85. With regard to the Beaumont Street drainage improvements, that was included as part of the bond program, and until bonds are sold this project cannot be accomplished. The entire project has $4,000,000 allocated. This includes the line that would need to be constructed to drain the inter- section of Highway 146 and Ward Road which line would be extended on to serve Beaumont. Recognize Fred Hartman - Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons commented on the announced intention of Chairman Fred Hartman to resign his position on the Harris County Central Appraisal District Board. He said that as the city's appointee, Council had great confidence in him and the Council wishes him well. A man of Mr. Hartman's statute will always be treasured and remembered. Therefore, Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons suggested, with Council's concurrence, that the city at the time Mr. Hartman's resignation is consummated, adopt a resolution citing his accomplishments and thanking him for his service to the city, county and state. 41011 -3 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 Councilman Embry announced that the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Program which has been active in the Baytown community for the last two to three years extends a cordial invitation to Council members, the audience and all residents of Baytown to attend a town meeting which is scheduled for Tuesday, October 16, at 7:30 p.m. in Gentry Junior School. John Bradshaw, who is a prominent Houston psychologist and lecturer, will be the principal speaker at that meeting. Receive Interim Report on Cary's Bayou Slope Failure Norman Dykes, City Engineer /Director of Public Works, reminded Council that several months ago Council had author- ized McClelland Engineers to perform a study covering several questions concerning the Cary's Bayou slope failure. Tonight that firm has an interim report. Two gentlemen represented the firm - -Wayne Dempsey and Frank Marshall. Frank Marshall explained that the report is intended only to be a status report. This is not the final report. The firm has only been able to answer some of the questions posed, but in due time the firm intends to answer all the questions. The firm performed borings and set instrumenta- tion on the slide area in June, 1984. Since placement of the instrumentation, there has been very little slope movement. For this reason, the engineers are unable to tell how deep seated the landslide is. The characteristics of the area leave no question in the minds of the engineers that the area will continue to move in the future. When the movement occurs, the instrumentation will indicate how deep the slide is, and the engineers will have some indication what appropriate measures must be taken for the correction of the problem. The conditions that will precipitate a move will be a heavy rain, along with a norther. At that time, the engineers will go out and determine the base of the movement. Mr. Marshall referred to Plate No. 1 so that Council could get an idea of placement of inclinometers and piezo- meters. Inclinometers will let the engineers know where the base of the slide occurs. The piezometers are intended to let the engineers know the ground water condition in the slope as related to the bayou level. It may be January or February before any readings will be indicated. The questions posed as part of the engineers assignment are included in the report beginning on Page 6. Mr. Marshall reviewed those questions and responses with Council. A copy of Page Nos. 6 through 9 are attached to the minutes as Attachment "A." Brent Brunson, owner of property in the area, stated that his deck has dropped about 4h inches since July 1, 1984. , He felt that the interim report from McClelland Engineers was more definitive than that from Southwest Laboratories, but was concerned with the fact that the report indicated that the area had been filled at some point. He wondered if the engineers could determine the origin of the fill. 41011 -4 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 Mr. Marshall responded that from the three -inch hole the engineers gathered particles of debris; however, from that boring there was no way to determine all the materials present. Mr. Brunson inquired if the bulkhead that had been constructed was constructed correctly to begin with. The engineers responded that that question had not been addressed, but since it has failed evidently it should have been stronger. Council reminded Mr. Brunson that this is an interim report and the engineers are unable to address many points without information from the instrumentation in place. Ai full report will be given when that data is gathered. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Providing for Military Service Credits Under Texas Municipal Retirement System This will implement one of the items approved as part of the 1984/85 budget, which will allow employees of the city who were on active duty in the armed services or in the reserves during periods of conflict to pay $15 a month for each month of service in the armed services. The city will match that on a 2 to 1 basis, giving that employee credit for that period of time for retirement purposes. This ordinance will become effective November 1. The administration recommended approval. The maximum number of years that may be purchased is 5 years. Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Dickens seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3963 AN ORDINANCE ALLOWING CERTAIN EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY, WHO PERFORMED OR HEREAFTER PERFORM ACTIVE SERVICE IN THE ARMED FORCES (OR THEIR RESERVES OR AUXILIARIES) OF THE UNITED STATES UNDER HONORABLE CONDITIONS DURING PERIODS OF CONFLICT WITH FOREIGN FORCES, TO APPLY AND MAKE DEPOSITS FOR, AND TO RECEIVE SPECIAL CREDIT WITH THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR LIMITED PORTIONS OF SUCH MILITARY SERVICE, AND PROVIDING FOR PAYMENT BY THE CITY OF ADDITIONAL DEPOSITS TO THE SYSTEM ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH SERVICE CREDIT; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. 41011 -5 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 Consider Proposed Ordinance, Establishing Rates to be Charged by Entex, Inc. within the Corporate Limits of Baytown R. L. DeSalme, Division Manager of the BayPorte Division of Entex, stated that as required by law, on October 4, Entex filed a statement of intent with the City of Baytown requesting a $1.15 per month per customer rate adjustment. Information booklets and proper documentation were left for Council members and city officials explaining the request. He summarized the request for Council as follows: 1. Since 1976, Entex has adjusted its rates only for changes in operating expenses and the cost of purchased gas. No changes have been made for increases in the cost of money or increases in average plant investment per customer. 2. Since 1976, the average net investment per customer has increased from $145 to $210 -- a 45% increase. This increase has resulted from the continuing need for system improvements and replacements at considerably higher costs. 3. Interest rates have increased significantly since 1976. While current rates are lower than the all - time high levels experienced in 1982 -83, they remain significantly higher than those observed in 1976. 4. As a result of the foregoing facts, Entex has absorbed increasing costs each year since 1976. At current levels of interest rates and investment per customer the company is absorbing costs at the rate of $1.15 per customer bill. The $1.15 rate adjustment does not include any costs absorbed in the past. 5. The requested $1.15 bill adjustment will result in a 3.5% increase in an average residential customer's bill and amounts to only 3.8 cents per day. This increase will permit Entex to continue its program of keeping the distribution system operating effectively, safely and economically. In response to an inquiry from Council, Mr. DeSalme stated that the $1.15 increase is a flat increase across the board because any improvements to the system affect all customers of Entex. He also mentioned that the company, in addition to the $1.00 contribution made by customers to a fund to help those persons who are unable to pay their gas bill, contributed $100,000. Councilman Fuller moved to adopt the ordinance; Council- man Embry seconded the motion. 41011 -6 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 To the question what would happen if the motion is defeated, Mr. DeSalme responded that the City of Baytown's rate request would be removed from the Gulf Coast Division request and the company would request a general rate increase for Baytown. Usually, it is to the advantage of the city to be included in the division because the rate is figured on the entire division which provides for a smaller increase. Besides Entex has gone eight years without requesting a rate increase and will probably go another 6 to 7 years before filing for a rate increase. If Baytown elects to hold a rate hearing, likely rates in Baytown will differ from those of the surrounding area. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3964 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS; DETERMINING AND FIXING THE SCHEDULES OF RATES TO BE CHARGED BY ENTER, INC., IN THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, FOR NATURAL GAS AND NATURAL GAS SERVICE FURNISHED BY IT TO RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL CONSUMERS; FIXING THE EFFECTIVE DATES OF GAS RATES PRESCRIBED IN THIS ORDINANCE; MAKING MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS AND REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT. Consider Request of R.L. McRae and Ken Taylor for Variance to Driveway and Sidewalk Requirements' at 3804 Del Oro Drive Council had been furnished with a letter from Mr. McRae and Mr. Taylor explaining the situation and requesting that Council grant a variance to the City of Baytown driveway and sidewalk requirements for 3804 Del Oro Drive. The administra- tion had photos of the location, as well as Mr. Taylor. Mr. Lanham reminded Council that the driveways and sidewalks did not have the steel mesh required by city ordinance, and the curb that was constructed along each side of the driveway is extended across the sidewalk. Mr. McRae and Mr. Taylor felt that the sidewalk and driveway had been constructed to exceed specifications of the city. Mr. McRae stated that through his many years of experience with pouring concrete, his opinion is that the sidewalk is strong structurally, and the many engineers that he has worked with have led him to believe that the use of wire mesh in a sidewalk or driveway does not lend a great deal of strength to it. On the driveways, Mr. McRae used 3/8 inch rebar on 18 inch centers with a minimum of 5h inches of 5 sack concrete. Approaches to the driveway had a minimum of 5 to 5'h inches below the surface of the street. Mr. McRae stated that through an oversight the wire mesh was omitted and at this point 300 feet of concrete would need to be removed. Mr. McRae stated that Mr. Taylor is willing to give the city a letter that he will take care of any problems with the sidewalk. 41011 -7 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 Councilman Johnson stated that he had gone out to look at the sidewalk- driveway and definitely the thickness of 5� to 5 3/4 is there. He had checked with Pat Guidry who has been in the concrete business for 10 to 15 years who verified that 5 sack concrete was used. The stamped pattern of concrete is being used. It looks like tile. The curb was built on a slope. He stated that he would hate to ask that the concrete be torn out, especially since Mr. Taylor has stated that he would be responsible if the concrete should fail. He continued that if this home -had been a spec house, he might think that Mr. Taylor was try- ing to save a little money, but after looking at the house, it is plain that Mr. Taylor is not cutting corners. Councilman Fuller commented that there is something a little bigger to consider than whether it will last or whether it will stay. He also took exception because there is the possibility that Mr. Taylor may sell his home tomorrow. This is on public property and there are a series of codes and ordinances designed to protect the people and give everyone the rules of what can be done in building in this city. The inspection department is charged with enforcing these codes and ordinances. If Council approves this variance, every contractor, every builder will come before Council for a variance. This will encourage reacting without getting approval of the inspection depart- ment. If there is a problem with the ordinance, the ordinance should be changed, but as long as there is an ordinance on the books requiring wire mesh be placed before pouring concrete for sidewalks /driveways, then that ordinance should be enforced. Councilman Johnson reminded Council that variances have been granted in times past on various items, and he felt that it is wrong to think that every contractor in the city will ask for variances. Councilman Fuller emphasized that there are several short cuts that he could take himself, and he could come before City Council and say this is better. He would even put his engineer's stamp on the document to evidence same. He continued that he wouldn't get very far with that approach and he felt like this is the same circumstance. Mr. Taylor verified that he was not trying to cut corners, but through ignorance had installed the concrete without wire mesh. He felt that this is a sound sidewalk. Another discussion began on the installation of brick columns in the city's easement, along with a brick mail box, but since this matter was not on the agenda for con- sideration, Mr. Taylor was informed that this could not be considered. The city attorney mentioned that in general, variances are granted when provided for in the ordinance, but if there is a problem with an ordinance that does not provide for variance, then that ordinance needs to be amended like in the case of the animal ordinance. The city attorney 41011 -8 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 expressed the fact that he had a problem with granting a variance on the way the curb is designed where the sidewalk meets the driveway because that sidewalk in that area is within the City of Baytown's right of way. Case law holds that the building, maintaining and operating of the streets and sidewalks are proprietary functions of the city which means that the city is not protected by the Tort Claim Act when it comes to unlimited liability damages. Cities have been held liable for defects in these areas. The city would not be liable for trivial defects, but there is a potential hazard here with the size of the curb on the sidewalk and if Council grants a variance for that, then Council will have knowingly allowed the construction of a possible hazard on the public sidewalk. In response to an inquiry by Council with regard to the curb and what could be done about it, Mr. McRae stated that Mr. Manson with the inspection department had already suggested that that portion of curb be removed. However, a section of the sidewalk would have to be removed in order to lower the curb because in that particular section in most areas there is some distance between the curb and the property line. The reason that the curb extends so far back is because the property line itself is some 80 inches from the street curb. Mr. McRae stated that at this point he would only be able to build a driveway with no curb which would be difficult to tie to a city street and make it look right. Councilman Johnson moved to grant the variance on the sidewalk only; Councilman Dickens seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson and Dickens Nays: Council members Embry and Fuller Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Lease Agreement with Southern Pacific Transportation Company for Drainage Work in the Right of Way Behind Robert E. Lee High School This area is along the railroad between the bus barn and Robert E. Lee High School. The school district has indicated a willingness to provide the materials if the city will install the pipe. The project will consist of 200 feet of 30 inch pipe, the regrading of about 130 feet of ditch, and the construction of a junction box. This would eliminate the backing of water into the school parking lot. The railroad company is willing for this to be done; however, they ask that the city sign an agreement with the railroad and that the city maintain ownership of the structures that are placed. This is consistent with other work that has been done as a cooperative effort with the school district to solve a problem.1 The Administration recommended approval. No payment is required to the railroad company. 41011 -9 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 Councilman Embry moved to adopt the ordinance; Council- man Fuller seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3965 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST TO AN AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRANSPORTATION COMPANY WITH REGARD TO THE CONSTRUC- TION AND MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN DRAINAGE FACILITIES WITHIN RAILROAD RIGHT -OF -WAY; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Amending Section 31 -59, Sub - section c of the Code of Ordinances to Increase Reconnection Charge for Water Service The administration is recommending that the charge for reconnection of service after service has been discontinued for non - payment be increased from $6.50 to $10.00 during normal working hours and that it be increased from $10.00 to $15.00 after 5:00 p.m. The staff has checked with other utility companies and found that the recommended changes are consistent with what other utility companies are charging. Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Embry seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3966 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SUBSECTION 31 -59(c) OF CHAPTER 31 "UTILITIES" OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN TO INCREASE THE RECONNECTION CHARGE; REPEALING INCONSISTANT ORDINANCES; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Approving Utility Extension Agreement with the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation for a Water Main Extension Along Interstate 10 (North Side) Norman Dykes, City Engineer /Public Works Director, stated that at the present time there is a 12 -inch water main that stops at Reading Buick on the north side of Inter- state 10. The rest park, both north and south sides, is about to undergo a major overhaul by the State Department of 41011 -10 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 Highways and Public Transportation. They plan on an October letting for a contractor to go in and rennovate the rest park which will be closed to the public for three to four months. Recently, the park has tied on to the wastewater treatment facility. This park at the present time is served by a water well. The highway department would like to go to surface water and abandon the well. They have contacted the city about tieing into the water line at Reading Buick. The highway department, in order to service the rest park, could use a 4 -inch line down the Interstate and a 2h -inch crossing to the south side. The city would like to see a 12 -inch line continued down the Interstate for future use and not have duplicate lines. Landowners in the area have been contacted and the city has a commitment from property owners for $26,500 towards that line which would be applied later to their connection charges. The estimated cost of the line is $89,580. The highway department agrees to pay $38,500 to the city which is the cost of the 4 -inch line and the fl- inch crossing. Therefore, the staff requested approval of the agreement with the understanding that the engineering department will come to Council at the next meeting with a set of plans and requested authorization to advertise for bids for a 4 -inch, an alternate 12 -inch and also alternate 12 -inch under the Interstate to the south side. There is another developer on the south side that would like to participate if the cost is not too high. At this time, all that is needed is Council authorization to enter into the contract for the $38,500 with the highway department. Councilman Fuller moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3967 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WITH REGARD TO THE EXTENSION OF WATER SERVICE TO THE I -10 REST STOP; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Easements Across City -Owned Property This item will be discussed at a future meeting. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Change Order to 1984 Street Improvement Program Contract for Additional Curb and Gutter Work and Asphalt Work for City Hall Parking Lot Material has been added to build a base over which to add parking for city hall. This has been done over a period of several months and it is now ready for surfacing. Also, 41011 -11 Minutes for the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 it will be necessary to extend the curb where the base has been constructed. The 1984 Street Improvement contractor has agreed to perform this work based on the unit prices bid under that contract. Based on those unit costs and the staff's estimate of the quantity of the work required, the cost would be $2,966.33 which is less than the work could be done by city forces. The administration recommended approval of the ordinance. Councilman Fuller moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Dickens seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 3968 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN AUTHORIZING CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 TO THE CONTRACT WITH HUBCO, INC. FOR THE 1984 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. Consider Proposed Resolution No. 891, Encouraging the Con- struction of a Temporary Grade Crossing with Installation of Traffic Signals at Loop 201 and Elvinta and Encourage the Construction of an Overpass to Provide Permanent Relief at that Intersection This matter was discussed at the last Council meeting and the administration indicated that a resolution would be prepared and brought back to Council. Mr. Lanham said that he had received a couple calls concerning this matter; there- fore, there might be interested parties in the audience that might like to address Council. The administration recommended approval of the resolution. No one indicated a desire to speak. Councilman Embry moved to adopt the resolution; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons stated that it was his under- standing from the last Council meeting that this would not impair the plans of the highway department. Mr. Lanham responded that this was correct. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons Nays: None 41011 -12 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 RESOLUTION NO. 891 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, REQUESTING THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO CONSTRUCT TEMPORARY GRADE CROSSINGS AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS AT THE INTERSECTION OF ELVINTA STREET AT LOOP 201: AND ENCOURAGING THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN OVERPASS AT THAT LOCATION TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT MEANS OF RELIEF TO TRAFFIC AT THAT INTERSECTION. Consider drainage projects for 1984 -85 Each year at this time, the administration provides Council with a detailed drainage list and the estimated cost to perform that work. There are a total of 28 projects which involve work throughout the city. There is only one major project on Mockingbird at Clayton Drive in the area in front of the school. All this work would be done by city forces. If the administration should find that there is a need for a contractor to perform some of the work, that will be brought to Council at that time. This provides the authority to go ahead on some of these projects. Mr. Lanham indicated that he had spoken to several property owners along Clayton where it flooded last week and told them that this list would be presented to Council tonight, and if Council approved the list, city forces would be moved from the Greenwood project over to Mockingbird after the Greenwood project is completed. The staff keeps a record of calls from citizens regarding flooding and the city staff observes areas where drainage work may be needed in order to compile a list. This list is checked by the engineering department and if they determine a problem exists, that area is added to the final list. Councilman Johnson moved to approve the drainage list; Councilman Fuller seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons Nays: None A copy of the drainage list is attached to the minutes as Attachment "B." Consent Agenda Mr. Lanham requested that Item 15p be deleted since the subdivider was undecided as to whether or not he would be able to go ahead with the project, and only one bid was received on the project which was returned unopened. At this time, the engineering department has not heard back from the developer. 41011 -13 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 Item 15g in the preface indicated that the administra- tion was recommending Uranus Palton; however, the low bidder was Prosper Brothers. The administration recommended approval of the remainder of the items. In response to an inquiry from Council, Jerry Fletcher, Community Development Coordinator, stated that generally contractors are limited to two houses. This time two of the bidders were low on three houses; however, when houses are up to bid again, if these contractors are not up to date on their contracts, they would not be allowed to bid. This is board policy. It is up to the contractor to determine which house will be started first, unless there is a particular concern due to weather conditions and the condition of the house. Council considered the Consent Agenda as follows: a. Proposed Ordinance No. 41011 -8, will authorize the installation of a traffic signal for the inter- sections of Loop 201 with Garth Road and North Main. This traffic signal would be installed in conjunction with the construction of Loop 201's second contract. This is a recommendation of the Traffic Commission. b.

Consider Appointments to Clean City Commission Councilman Johnson moved to reappoint Barbara McGray to the Clean City Commission, to appoint Aggie Seligman to fill out the term of Lisa Petricek, and to appoint the following new members: Raymond Smith, Larry Haynes, Mrs. Ben T. Rhodes and Sharon Register; Councilman Embry seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Johnson, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons Nays: None Recess Into Executive Session to Discuss Acquisition of Right of Way Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons recessed the open meeting into executive session to discuss acquisition of right of way. When the open meeting reconvened, the Mayor Pro Tempore announced that there was no business to be transacted. Receive Petition Mrs. Alice Fritch of 513 Harold Lane, presented Council with a petition expressing opposition to the garbage ordin- ance requiring the use of garbage bags effective November 1. She said that there were approximately 100 names on the petition, but given more time she could have more signers. Mrs. Fritch stated that the majority of the people she had visited with felt that they should have the right to choose. She also stated that she works with the elderly and this will impact those individuals. Another problem that had 41011 -20 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - October 11, 1984 been mentioned is the problem of cats tearing into the garbage bags and if the garbage is strawn about, then the citizens will have to pick it up. Council accepted the petition and requested that the administration include an item on the next agenda to discuss mandatory garbage bag policy. Most of the Council members stated that they have not received many calls concerning the adoption of the new policy. Councilman Johnson suggested that Mrs. Fritch continue to circulate the petition. Mrs. Fritch stated that she felt that if given the opportunity she could prove to Council that this policy was not desirable. Mr. Lanham suggested that perhaps Council would want to consider adding an additional $1.00 to the exemption for senior citizens. Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons mentioned that another complaint has been that the exact change must be used in order to purchase the bags. Mr. Lanham responded that the only place that exact change must be used is at the fire stations be- cause there the money is deposited in a coin machine. Mr. Lanham pointed out that a majority of the people are presently using bags. Mayor Pro Tempore Simmons stated that the emphasis must be on the estimated savings of $186,000 and it is incumbent on the city to keep very accurate records to substantiate that there will be a savings of $186,000. Mr. Lanham reminded Council that under the zero base budget that had been prepared, two plans were presented - -one, proposed continuing to operate under the present system, which would have required replacement of two garbage trucks. The alternate plan was to go to mandatory bags, reduce the routes from 10 to 71 and purchase one truck, resulting in a savings of $186,000. Another point made was that the bag sales will cost the taxpayers $250,000 which means taxpayers are using the difference between the $186,000 and the $250,000. Mr. Lanham responded that according to the estimates the cost is about the same. If the taxpayer uses 4 boxes a year, the cost will be $14.00 and that is assuming the use of 4 bags a week. Councilman Fuller stated that perhaps a good compromise would be to give everyone one box of bags. A card could be mailed to each household and by carrying the card back in, the owner of the card could get one box free. Adjourn There being no further business to be transacted, the meeting was adjourned. L" Eileen P. Hall, City Clerk Attachment "A" McClelland Engineers, Inc. October 11, 1984 Report No. 0184 -4027 Page 6 Below the fill, firm to stiff natural clay was encountered. The natural clay ranges texturally from silty clay to sandy clay with undrained shear strengths ranging from about 600 psf to over 1800 psf. The stiff natural clay often exhibits a slickensided structure and contains organic matter at various as depths. This clay stratum also contains layers of silty fine sand and sandy silt. Four borings indicate a silty fine sand stratum at depths below 38 to 45 ft. Groundwater. We have measured the depth to water in the standpipe piezometers at intervals during* the summer months. These measurements indicate the groundwater is about E1 +4 at each piezometer between the residences. The groundwater level is about E1 +3 at the third piezometer near B6ring No. 5. These water levels have not changed significantly during the period of our observations. Response to Questions The Baytown City Council submitted a list of questions to be addressed by our geotechnical study. We have responded to these questions in this interim report to the extent possible. Questions which cannot be answered fully at this time will be addressed in our final report. (1) Is the area behind the three homes filled? .'hen? With what? To what extent? Yes, the eight sample borings drilled for this study, as well as the previous borings, encountered fill material. The fill depths from our borings range from about 4 to 17 ft. The fill material is generally firm clay and includes sand pockets, organic matter, and various debris. For a detailed description, refer to the report section, General Site Conditions. We cannot determine when the fill.was placed. We reviewed the subdivision plat recorded in 1969. This plat includes surface contours and indicates areas to be filled; however, the plat does not indicate fill placement at the site of the slope failure. We also reviewed aerial photographs dated before the development of the subdivision, but the scale of these photos is such that we could not make a determination concerning fill areas. McClelland Engineers, Inc. October 11, 1984 Report No. 0184 -4027 Page 7 (2) What could be done to hold the slope from slippage? We will address remedial measures after our slope instrumenta- tion has detected the base of the slide. (3) Why is bank failure worse near Mr. Pitts' yard? N The sheetpilirg has deflected to a greater extent, and the ground surface near- Mr. Pitts' yard (House No. 3806) appears more irregular. One factor may be that the flow of Carys Bayou has eroded the bank and removed soil support in front of the sheetpiling. A second factor may be that the fill is softer and /or deeper in this area. (4) What are the subsurface conditions? Develop a profile of natural ground vs filled area, if any, with soil conditions /types. Refer to Plates 12 and 13 which present the generalized soil stratigraphy along profile sections. Detailed descriptions of the soils encountered in our borings are presented on the individual logs. (5) What effect does the water table have, if any? How high is water table? A groundwater level above the base of the failure surface can add weight to the sliding material and also reduce the soil strength to resist movement. Our measurements of the water level in our piezometers over the summer months indicates the groundwater level is about 4 ft above the water level in the bayou. The water level measured by the piezometers may increase during prolonged wet weather. (6) Have improvements upstream to Carys Bayou (cleaning, etc.) caused or contributed to the slope failures? We believe the cleaning of Carys Bayou upstream from the site could possibly increase soil erosion along the bank; however, we do not believe bank erosion alone could cause a slope failure of the extent present at the site. McClelland Engineers, Inc. Report No. 0164 -4027 October 11, 1984 Page 8 (7) Does the bend of Carys Bayou contribute to or cause the slope failure? We are not certain contributes to the slope base of the failure. We slope failure, but we doubt (8) Which is likely to have failure? at this time if failure because believe the bend that the bend is happened first the bend of Carys Bayou we have not defined the could contribute to the the sole cause. - pipe failure of slope We believe, at this time, that the slope probably failed first. We base this opinion largely upon our observations of the length and extent of the slide scarp in relation to the pipe location. (9) Is the drainage pipe contributing to or causing the problems of land slippage? We believe the drainage pipe is contributing very little, if at all, to the land slippage. (10) If seepage of water from pipe is a factor, how large of an area Would be affected? Where would failure begin - at the pipe or at the toe of slope? We believe the seepage from the drainage pipe is confined to within close proximity of the storm sewer line. We are not sure where the failure would begin. (11) Would the slope have failed if there had been no pipe? At this time, our opinion is the slope could have failed without the presence of the storm sewer. (12) Did collapsing the original pipe cause unstable conditions contributing to the most recent slope failure? We understand the storm sewer line was repaired by collapsing the original pipe and placing cement - stabilized sand over it. Then a new sewer line was placed at a higher elevation and also backfilled with cement - stabilized sand. If our understanding is correct, then we do not believe this construction would contribute to the most recent failure. :J,cClelland Engineers, Inc. Report No. 0184 -4027 October 11, 1984 Page 9 (13) If all of the pipe, old and new, were removed, what type of backfill would be needed? We would recommend backfilling with cement- stabilized sand. (14) If all the pipe were removed and the ditch backfilled with recommended material, would the slope failure stop? We believe the slope movement is likely to continue. (15) Was the steel. sheetpiling driven deep enough to prevent failure of slope? This will be addressed later. (16) Why is the slope failing? We believe the slope failure is related to the extent and depth of the fill encountered at the site. We believe the area was he subdivision was developed. Probably filled prior to 1969, before t Some additional fill material may have been placed as the subdivi- sion was constructed. The fill contains various debris and probably was not placed under controlled conditions. Other factors may have contributed to the slope failure. One factor could be an increase in the groundwater suddenlevel lowering prolonged wet weather. A second factor could b of the water level in the bayou due to strong northerly winds. A third factor could be the presence of the storm sewer. (17) Are the three homes in danger of damage of sliding into the bayou? We believe the possibility of the houses sliding into the bayou to be remote. Although the slope failure has been inactive during the summer months, we believe the slope will move again in the future. We do not believe future slope movement will cause the homes to slide into the bayou. (18) Should have original line and disturbed soil at lower level been removed? We do not believe that removing the original line and soil at a lower level would have stopped the slope movement. PROPOSED 1984 -85 DRAINAGE ?ROJECTS 1. Greenwood - drainage system 2.
