Also, in recognization of Mr. Cannon's contribution to the community, Council honored him with a plaque. Comments From Mayor Hutto Mayor Hutto made the following comments: "I might say in passing that I am honored again to occupy this seat on the city council. I think that it's one of the greatest honors that the City of Baytown could bestow. I recognize many of you ladies and gentlemen in the audience this evening, and I recognize you as being genuinely concerned about the City of Baytown. I know you've been concerned about its image, about its prospects for the future and about the unity of its governing body. You have demonstrated this on many occasions, many many occasions, I might add, as indicated by your involvement in community affairs and the passage of the bond elections. We are certainly grateful for your interest and we certainly wish you to keep your interest in our city. During our past campaign, I have referred to many of you as the 'silent majority.' I referred to you again as law abiding citizens who seldom complain, never made public demands and want only that their city affairs be ran on a business basis. That's the 'silent majority' that I feel is responsible for my being here. I recognize many in the audience who have voiced displeasure at the treatment that they have received, on occasion, from this council, from this admin- istration and from various city departments. Generally, it has been rudeness, discourtesy, and sometimes lack of concern; however, sometimes it has bordered on harassment. Now, we 50411 -4 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 have no place in the City of Baytown for that. We are all public servants. I have no patience for those who deny common courtesy, basic freedoms, and constitutional rights for their fellow citizens. I recognize in the audience ministers of various faiths and denominations. There were issues brought up on this campaign that had no business being in this campaign. Religion has no business in politics, certainly, not on the level of the City government of Baytown, and I want to sincerely apologize at this time to the ministers that are in here for having to address this issue. We all have the same goal, and we recognize that no denomination has exclusive rights to pass out tickets to heaven. With the gentlemen's support on each side of me, we want to restore this city government to the policy of openness, responsiveness and courtesy. Elected or employed, we are all public servants. We will utilize the talents of the minority citizens by appointing them to our advisory boards and committees, and I intend to share the ceremonial functions of this office of Mayor with my fellow council members. This will insure their receiving the proper recognition for their services, and before we move into the agenda, I'm sure that those in attendance would like to hear from some of our councilmen with short, brief comments on their thoughts on how they will help us during the coming years." Comments from Council Councilman Dickens commented as follows: "Well, I would just like to say that I don't think that I've ever seen this Chamber this packed. I just wish that I could see this every Thursday night when we're up here. I can also see a large cross section. I know many of you. We're going to look forward to working with you in the future. The specific goal that I have in mind in the coming year is, of course, going to be a reduction in the tax rate. I hope that we can get support from you. Thank you." Councilman Fuller commented as follows: "Well, I'd like to say that I appreciate the opportunity of serving another term, and I certainly want to assure you that I'll do my very best to fulfill my obligations that I feel to work toward the betterment of the city. I hope to cooperate, and I will cooperate as a team, and it is a team effort of this council, and also, a team effort with the citizens of this community to improve our city, to improve our way of life here. I look forward during this term of working in that direction. Thank you again, and remember that the lines of communication, not only to me, but I'm sure to the rest of the councilmen are open at all times. Thank you." 50411 -5 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 Councilman Embry commented as follows: "I'd just like to say that I really appreciate the support of the citizens of Baytown. It is certainly grat- ifying and humbling to see the kind of support that has been given me. Let me just add that it's nice to be elected instead of appointed. I appreciate that very deeply. I'd also like to add that as I view the council, it's almost a sacred trust that the citizens have placed in this council. I want you to know that I personally feel, and I think that the rest of the council feels, that we should just be an instrument for you. We want, and we need and we solicit your input about any concerns you might have, any problems that you might have, anything that the council can do to respond to whatever your needs are. That's what government and I hope, city government of Baytown, is all about. I'll do my best to responsibly discharge the trust that you've placed in me. Thank you." Fritz Lanham, City Manager, commented as follows: "Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I have been honored to be city manager for this city for a number of years. It's a won- derful city. Baytown is blessed with the finest elected officials of any city in this state and the finest group of city employees. I'm honored to have all of you as my bosses, and I pledge to you that my staff and I will do the very best job that we know how to carry out the policies that you establish." Councilman Simmons commented as follows: "I would like to echo Mayor Hutto's statement that we are all public servants. If there comes a time when we are too irritated or too disgusted to respond to our constituents, then that's the time to step down from office. If we can't take the heat, we should get out of the kitchen." Councilman Johnson commented as follows: "Well, first of all, if I have knowingly, or unknow- ingly, or unwittingly offended anyone by being rude, I want to apologize. We are a team up here. You'll probably see us be rude to one another every once in awhile, probably tonight with a couple things that's coming up, but you can rest assured that we're the best of friends and that we're going to do what we think is right for the City of Baytown. My phone is listed in the book, and all you have to do is dial those seven numbers and I'll answer it." Councilman Philips commented as follows: "Well, I didn't know that we were going to come up with this little speech making, but here we go. Mister Mayor, Council and all the citizens here, I think that someone said one time that until you've run for office, you really don't know what the process really is. I think that every two years when I have made my campaign that each year it is different, but the opportunity to communicate back and forth with the people is something that I wish everyone of you 50411 -6 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - March 11, 1985 could experience. It really does give the citizens a chance to get their say in and I value that. I hope that as the next two years unfold here what I heard, talked about, and had said to me during this campaign I can make good use of. I also have an open telephone line and am glad to talk to anyone about their problems. I believe in a responsive city government. I think that if we are not responsive we cause frustration and unhappiness, and we do need to be responsive to the problems of the town. I also believe that this city should and is capable and will deliver the best city services of any city in the State of Texas, that includes police, fire, garbage, what have you. That's my goal -- excellent performance in those areas. I might say in closing that it's a pleasure indeed to work with Emmett Hutto again as our Mayor. It was a pleasure during his last term of office, and I look forward to it again. I thank you for your willing- ness to share the office as you've said you would do. Thank YOU." Mayor Hutto ended his comments as follows: "That's what makes it so good about being in this Chair -these people on each side. We're strictly a team and team players. So, I want the people in this audience to pass along to their friends and all put your two cents in. We want to know what it is. You call your councilman or mayor or write your councilman or mayor. We want your two cents put in. Again, I thank you for coming." After comments of Council, Mayor Hutto moved the following item up for consideration: Consider Proposed Ordinance, Amending Sign Ordinance Randy Strong, City Attorney, reviewed with council the amendments drafted for council consideration. Under Section 1, Subsection 5 the amendment makes the ordinance totally content neutral with regard to sign content. Section 2 adds a new provision regarding church signs which provides that any sign owned by a church is to meet all the structural requirements of the ordinance and must obtain the required permit, but will only be required to pay an initial operating fee. Section 3 deals with structural requirements and adds that any sign is designed so that the message can be changed through the use of removable letters must be constructed in the manner that these letters will not fall off or be blown off by wind. This requirement has been in place for portable signs since the inception of the sign ordinance, but it was noted that there are permanent type signs that have the same type lettering. Section 4 prohibits portable signs in residential areas. Section 5 prohibits the placement of a portable sign as an off - premise sign. Section 6 makes several changes in the regulations regarding portable signs. The effect of all this is that under the current ordinance, portable signs are completely prohibited. If these amendments are adopted, portable signs will be allowed within the city of Baytown. Businesses will be allowed to have one on- premise sign which means that the business may have a sign on its property advertising the business operating from that 50411 -7 Minutes of the Regular Meetin - April 11, 1985 property. Portable signs will not be allowed to advertise businesses not at that location. Section 7 rewrites the current section of the ordinance dealing with portable signs to remove the language that would prohibit same. It is basically a restatement of the current regulations and design requirements with the exception of Subsection b -2 which has been rewritten to require that a portable sign be constructed in a manner that would prevent letters from falling off or being blown from the side. Also, Section b -5, requires that electrically illuminated portable signs have ground fault circuit interruptors to reduce shocking hazards. Councilman Dickens moved for the adoption of the ordin- ance with the deletion of Subsection 25�- 10(B)(8); Council- man Johnson seconded the motion. Councilman Fuller stated that he would be unable to support the proposed amendment to the ordinance which would allow portable signs since he felt that those signs con- tributed to visual pollution, and although he did support the amendment dealing with church signs, he would not support the proposed ordinance because of the section dealing with portable signs. Councilman Dickens explained that his desire is to allow the placement of portable signs as off - premise signs. Therefore, the motion is simply to remove the section that prohibits the placement of portable signs as off - premise signs. This would allow the placement of portable signs anywhere in the city with the exception of residential areas. The city attorney explained that the proposed ordinance had been drafted along the lines that council had discussed earlier and because it prohibits off premise portable signs completely, it does not contain any requirements on spacing or anything for off - premise portable signs. If portable signs are going to be allowed off premise, then he felt that it might be wise to wait and draft some requirements along those lines, otherwise there would be no restrictions on portable signs at all. Council expressed concern with deviating from what the attorney had drafted. Councilman Dickens stated that rather than see the ordinance defeated, as long as his major objectives are met - -the church signs and that a small businessman may retain the use of a sign, he would support the ordinance as presented. Therefore, Councilman Dickens withdrew the motion and Councilman Johnson withdrew the second. Councilman Dickens then moved for adoption of the ordinance; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Embry, and Dickens Mayor Hutto Nays: Councilman Fuller 50411 -8 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 ORDINANCE NO. 4123 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN AMENDING CHAPTER 25h "STANDARD SIGN CODE" TO AMEND VARIOUS PROVISIONS DEALING WITH PERMITS AND FEES AND PORTABLE SIGNS; REPEALING INCONSISTENT ORDINANCES; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING A PENALTY; AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLI- CATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. Mayor Hutto called for a ten - minute recess. When the open meeting reconvened, the following business was conducted: Receive Petitions There were no petitions presented. City Manager's Report The city manager referred council to a memorandum dated April 9, 1985 which memorandum addresses the matters referred to the administration at the March 28, council meeting. A copy of that memorandum is attached to the minutes, along with its attachments as Attachment "A." Regarding undedicated streets, the administration had worked up a map that depicted streets similar to Jones Road which have never been accepted by the city because of sub- standard construction or the fact that street did not meet width requirements, or the fact that the street was never dedicated. Many of these streets are in the old Cedar Bayou area. Jones Road probably has more traffic on it than many of the others due to the fact that the marina is located in that area. The point was made that the garbage trucks traveling across these roadways add to the deterioration of the road- way. In many cases, the streets have not been dedicated, each property owner owns a share of the street that has been used as a roadway for a number of years. Council requested that the administration research whether the roadways depicted on the map have been dedicated and whether those meet City of Baytown standards. The city manager called council's attention to the fact that Highway 146 is an integral part of the City of Baytown's intra -city truck routes, and to eliminate that as a truck route would make it very difficult for Baytown to have a system of truck routes. Council requested that the administration check with the highway department to determine if some signing could be placed to alert truckers of the Spur 55 route. 50411 -9 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 Council had no problem with the administration's suggestion to alleviate the problem with the driveways along North Pruett. With regard to the drainage problem on Inverness Street near the Albert Fellow's home, Councilman Embry agreed that one area should not be singled out for attention unless it suffers to a greater extent than other areas in a heavy rain; however, he felt that this particular problem and other problems throughout the city are symptomatic of the fact that there is a need for a comprehensive drainage study. He concluded that while he agreed with the explanation, he did not feel that the explanation did away with the concern. The seismographic work has been completed and the crew has removed some of the tape. The no -left turns on Texas Avenue will be submitted to the Traffic Commission for consideration. The timing on the signals on Texas Avenue has been changed. The reason for no right turn on red at Texas Avenue and Highway 146 and Ward Road and Highway 146 is that a potential accident situation would exist at those locations if right turns on red were permitted. Councilman Philips requested that the Traffic Commission reconsider this matter since there are a number of intersections along Highway 146 where right turns on red are allowed which makes it confusing for motorists. The plan is to clear the debris from the entire Brown - wood area once the property is acquired in order to perform the task in an orderly and thorough fashion. Whether the pumps will be needed in the future depends on the final development plans for the area. The administration was unable to get the status report of the streets that were included under the county bonds program; however, a status report was given on drainage improvements. The status report on the streets and parks improvements is forthcoming. Council requested that the administration check on the resolution which was forwarded to the Commissioner's Court regarding improvements to West Baker Road. Also, it was noted that the City of Baytown only re- ceived one out of thirteen requested drainage improvements under the county's bond program. Mr. Lanham pointed out that included under the county's drainage program was the Bayway Drive /Baker Road Super Ditch and the ditch being constructed now north of Baker Road (1011` and intersecting Decker. Those were the two major problems that the City of Baytown was hoping to address. For the remainder of the comments, Mr. Lanham referred council to the memorandum. 50411 -10 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 Texas Municipal League Councils and Mayors Institute - The institute is scheduled for June 23. Transit Committee - The Baytown Transit Committee is planning a public meeting to get input from the community on the possible service that could be provided. The meeting is scheduled at the Baytown Jr. School Cafeteria on Thursday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m. Harris County Flood Control Ditch North of Baker Road - This project is about 95% complete. The contractor is in the process of cleaning up. Hopefully, this will help to alleviate the flooding in the Craigmont area. Drainage by city crews - The storm sewer on Ashbel Street is 80% complete; 98% complete on West Homan and complete on Largo /Terrace. Loop 201 Utility Adjustments - The contractor on this project has made very good progress and the work is about 50% complete. Questions /Comments of Council Council requested that Mr. Lanham follow up on the response from the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation with regard to the construction of Loop 201 at Elvinta. Councilman Dickens submitted proposed Resolution No. 909 for council consideration, formally recognizing and thanking Ernestine Moore Bright for her service to our community as founder of the Baytown Chapter of the American Diabetes Association. Councilman Fuller moved for adoption of the resolution; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Embry, Dickens and Fuller Mayor Hutto Nays: None RESOLUTION NO. 909 A UNANIMOUS RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, FORMALLY RECOGNIZING AND THANKING ERNESTINE MOORE BRIGHT FOR HER SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY AS FOUNDER OF THE BAYTOWN CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION. Harris County Mayors and Councils Association - Council- man Fuller announced that Jack M. Reber would be the speaker for the Harris County Mayors and Councils Association. Mr. Reber will be talking about energy from household garbage. 50411 -11 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 Elect Mayor Pro Tempore Councilman Simmons stated that last year he had the pleasure to serve as Mayor Pro Tempore which was an added diminsion to his experience as councilman, and he learned that he could do something for the city outside its boundaries and at the same time be of assistance to the Mayor. Councilman Simmons continued that he felt this honor should be passed along to others on council; there- fore, he nominated Councilman Roy Fuller to serve as Mayor Pro Tempore for the coming year;'Councilman Philips seconded the nomination. Councilman Dickens moved that the nominations cease; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Embry, Dickens and Fuller Mayor Hutto Nays: None Comments /Questions of Council Councilman Johnson mentioned that he had a few items that needed attention: 1. The problem of junked vehicles at 2101 E. Fayle; 2. The need for a sidewalk from Cedar Bayou Jr. School west to the convenience store; 3. A street light at Tenth Street and Lobit. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Determining and Fixing the Schedules of Rates to be Charged by Entex, Inc. for Natural Gas and Natural Gas Service Within the City Limites of Bavtown Entex, Inc. is requesting an increase of $ .84 a month for each domestic customer within the City of Baytown. From reading the material, the administration felt this to be a reasonable increase. This increase represents Entex's increased cost to provide service. In response to an inquiry from Council, Dick DeSalme, District Manager for Entex, explained that the company purchases all of its gas from suppliers, and over the last 24 months, there have been three decreases in the cost of gas with one increase. He feels that in August, the company will see another reduction in cost of gas. The company has a team of senior officers who go out to secure the best price available for gas. The end result of this is the customers receiving a lower rate for purchase of gas. Presently, 68.5 percent of each customer's bill is attri- uted to cost of fuel: Cost of service has not decreased, but has slowed in recent years. He mentioned that the Baytown district of the Houston Coast Division is presently operating with five less employees than in 1984. A crew has been completely eliminated through normal attrition. 50411 -12 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 However, based on the economy with residential construction, commercial construction and pipeline work, through November, 1984, the company was averaging installation of 25,000 feet of pipe a month and averaging 225 new customers. The trend for December slowed by 60 to 70 percent so the company will sacrifice for six or seven months until the economy justifies adding to the payroll. Councilman Philips moved to adopt the ordinance; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Hutto Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 4124 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS; DETERMINING AND FIXING THE SCHEDULES OF RATES TO BE CHARGED BY ENTEX, 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 Proposed Resolution, Opposing Proposed Billboard Legislation Actually, the proposed legislation will not affect Baytown under Baytown's ordinance, but what the legislation would do is those cities that have established an ordinance that results in the removal of billboards, cash payments would be required prior to the removal of non - conforming billboards. The issue that Texas Municipal League and Harris County Mayors and Councils Association is concerned with is the threat that this poses to the doctrine of local self determination. If adopted, this will result in some erosion of home rule. The administration recommended adoption of the resolution. Councilman Fuller moved for adoption of the resolution; Councilman Embry seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Hutto Nays: None RESOLUTION NO. 910 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, URGING DEFEAT OF PROPOSED BILLBOARD LEGISLATION POSING A THREAT TO THE DOCTRINE OF SELF DETERMINATION. 50411 -13 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 Consider Proposed Resolution, Opposing Proposed Mobile Home Legislation This is similar type legislation that would restrict cities abilities to regulate the placement of mobile homes. Texas Municipal League and Harris County Mayors and Councils Association is opposing the legislation because it results in the erosion of home rule authority. The administration recommended approval of the resolution. Councilman Dickens moved for adoption of the resolution; Councilman Embry seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Hutto Nays: None RESOLUTION NO. 911 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, URGING DEFEAT OF PROPOSED MOBILE HOME LEGISLATION POSING A THREAT TO THE DOCTRINE OF SELF DETERMINATION. Consider Proposed Resolution, Opposing Wording in the Proposed Transit Legislation Which Would Exclude Baytown The legislation has been introduced that would allow cities of 50,000 population or larger to, by referendum, establish a transit system and support that system through a local sales tax. Due to the manner in which the bill has been introduced, Baytown would be excluded from this option because one of the provisions of the legislaion says that this act does not apply to a city that is located wholly or partially either in a county that contains territory within the corporate limits of a principal city or within a federal standard metropolitan statistical area that contains a principal city. Baytown is in the Houston SMSA. This would preclude Baytown from using this vehicle. Councilman Philips stated that he supports the resolution with regard to putting Baytown in control of its own destiny; however, his support of the resolution does not indicate support of a transit tax. On that basis, he moved to adopt the resolution; Councilman Johnson seconded the motion with the same sentiments. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons, Embry, Fuller and Dickens Mayor Hutto Nays: None RESOLUTION NO. 912 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, URGING AMENDMENT OF PROPOSED MASS TRANSIT LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE ALTERNATIVES OF SOLVING MUNICIPAL TRANSIT PROBLEMS. Consider Request of Mobil Oil Corporation for Median Cut on Garth Road South of I -10 50411 -14 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 C. R. Peabody, Real Estate Representative for Mobil Oil, requested a median cut on the south side of 1 -10 at Garth Road. The company has stated that the request is being made in the interest of safety as well as convenience to Mobil's customers. All construction expenses, if granted, will be paid by Mobil Oil. This request has been to the Traffic Commission and the request was denied. The admin- istration recommended that the action of the Traffic Commission be upheld. Council discussed the matter fully and decided that no action would be necessary since, it would be a safety hazard to grant the request. Discuss Sewer Repair Policy Norman Dykes, Director of Public Works, explained that many times the only thing that the city crews can be sure of when they go out to check a line is whether the city's line is open. The city's lines are 6 inches or larger, and there are manholes on those lines which are put in by the city or the developer. The point is that there are access points on city lines that can be checked. Once the crew establishes that there is flow in the city line, the problem can be pinpointed to the private line. Private lines are normally 4 inch lines. This presents a problem for city crews to attempt to work on those lines because the city's equipment is geared to working on the larger lines. Plumber's equipment is designed to work on the smaller lines. The problem that the city runs into when attempting to work on private lines is that there are no access points. Many times, the homeowner may not have a cleanout at the house, and the stoppage may be in the yard or on out to the street. Many times crews will have to break into a line or in the older parts of town, the city has had difficulty locating the line. The city has already checked the main line, and the main line is open so the city crews may end up digging all over a citizen's yard to locate the line. This is work that is normally performed by a plumber. The policy that has been in place for a number of years is that the city takes care of the main lines, and the owner is responsible for the private line. There are always exceptions. The city has had cases where someone has had a problem in an area where new utility construction has taken place or street work. In a case like that, the city will go back and take care of a problem caused by that work. If a homeowner's line is bad, the property owner must replace the line to the main line. The line that goes on out to the street will deteriorate over a period of time. The city's policy is that the plumber takes care of the line to the right of way and if the line under the street is deteriorated, by paying $175 the city will replace that portion of line and make a new tap. In this manner the homeowner pays for a completely new line, just as he did when the home was first constructed. A new home pays the $175 to the city and pays a plumber to install the remainder. The work is divided at the right of way line with the city performing the work under the street to ensure that the work is installed properly. 50411 -15 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 A citizen who has had a problem with sewer stoppage on Bob Smith Road, Mr. Townsend, was present. He felt that the installation of a new sewer line contributed to the problem that he is having. In that case the city would perform the work at no charge; however, if the city crew finds that the problem is not attributable to the new sewer line having been installed, but is simply a deterioration of the line, then Mr. Townsend would be re- sponsible for the $175 charge. Council situation to that he under installation the problem, charge. asked that the administration investigate the make a determination. Mr. Townsend verified rstood that if the city determined that the of the new sewer line did not contribute to that he would be responsible for the $175 Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Lot Mowing Contract The administration recommended that this item be removed from the consent agenda, that the lot mowing contract specifications be revised and that the item be readvertised for bids. There were several bidders, but only two of the bidders met specifications. Bids were taken on two methods of being billed. One is minimum per lot charge, and the other is a per hour charge. As a general rule, the per lot charge is for an individual lot or two lots in a residential neighborhood. The hourly charge as a general rule is used for tract mowing. Presently, there has been a contract in place for three years with a $16.50 per hour charge and a minimum per lot charge of $18.50. The low bid that meets specifications is $16.00 per hour and per lot bid is $60.00. These costs are charged back to the property owner. The city is surveyed, and the property owner is notified that the lot needs to be mowed. If the property owner fails to mow the lot, the city has the lot mowed and bills the property owner for the cost listed under the contract, plus an administrative fee. In the cases where the property owner fails to pay the city, a lien is placed against the property so that the city ultimately collects for the mowing. Ms. Reba Eichelberger, attorney at law, representative of one of the bidders who met specifications addressed council. Ms. Eichelberger expressed concern with the open records policy of the city, but the city attorney explained that due to an unfortunate interpretation of the act's provision that information that would give a competitive advantage may be held closed, the previous bid information was held closed for two weeks prior to the bid opening. This problem has been resolved. However, another matter of the Open Records Act provides that if a record is being used or has been dead filed that the person making the request may be given a time and place at which to return to view the records. Therefore, Ms. Eichelberger's complaint that the record was not open because it was not immediately available to her upon request is inconsistent with what the statute provides. 50411 -16 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - April 11, 1985 Another point made by Ms. Eichelberger was that in reviewing the payments to the present contractor, there was one charge that represented approximately $1,000 for one lot. Mr. Lanham explained that in this instance the contractor was paid to clear a lot after Alicia which is not the normal lot mowing procedure. Ms. Eichelberger pointed out that her client would not have bothered to bid if he had been given access to the previous bid because it would not have been worth his while to load his equipment for that amount and he would not have paid $270 for a binder and $1,000 for insurance; therefore, she requested that council authorize reimbursement to her client. Council contended that any contractor interested in bidding a job should bid the job according to what his costs will be to perform the work. Also, council made the point that most insurance companies will certainly provide a certificate of insurance to an individual with the under- standing that the client will purchase the insurance if the bid is received. Council concurred that the item should be rebid. The city attorney informed Ms. Eichelberger that she could obtain a claim form through the city clerk's office to file a claim against the city. For bid tabulation, see Attachment "B." Consent Agenda Council considered the Consent Agenda as follows: a. Proposed Ordinance No. 50411 -3, will award the annual ready mix concrete delivered contract. Bids were mailed to five vendors and three proposals were received.

The original contract amount was in the amount of $55,656. One change order was issued in the amount of $3,035, bringing the amended contract amount to $58,691. The city has paid Gulf Coast Electric Company $51,765 to date, leaving an amount due of $6,926. The original contract provided for 150 calendar days to perform the work. An extension of 14 days were added because of bad weather after receipt of the generator from the supplier and to accommodate the revised electric service route to the City Hall basement. A total of 154 calendar days were used on this project, including a long period waiting for delivery of the generator. Funds for this project were provided in the Revenue Sharing Account, Entitlement XV. We recommend that Council authorize final payment of $6,926 to Gulf Coast Electric. f. Proposed Ordinance No. 50411 -8, will award the housing rehabilitation contract for 215 E. Murrill. Five bids were received.

Hall, City Clerk Attachment "A" M E M O R A N D U M April 9, 1985 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Fritz Lanham, City Manager SUBJECT: Items Referred to the City Administration at the March 28, City Council Meeting 1. Petition from residents along Jones Road to have roadway topped. Response: The policy regarding streets that have not been accepted by the city is that we blade the street with a maintainer and if the residents of the area purchase material, we will blade it and keep the street as free of potholes as we.can. These streets are not on a regular maintenance program and we respond to citizen complaints. Jones Road has, in the past, had a tack coat of asphalt applied to keep the dust problem to a minimum. Solutions are (1) apply a tack coat of asphalt which is a temporary solution to the dust problem, .(2) include Jones Road in a future annual street program (past policy has been to not include streets that have never been improved in the annual street program), and (3) improve Jones Road through a street paving assessment program. 2. Contact the Highway Department to determine their policy with regard to designation to truck routes. Response: We have been advised by Mr. Christie with the State Dept. of Highways and Public Transportation, that the state does not get involved in this type of— action although they request that we notify the affected Highway department districts. 1 We do not have authority to designate and post truck route signs outside the city limits nor could we enforce such a designation outside our city. With regard to truck routing in the Highway 146 -Spur 55 -FM 1405 area, the following factors should be considered: (1) Spur 55 between Highway 146 and Cedar Bayou Stream was designated a truck route in 1982; (2) Highway 146 is an integral part of our intra -city truck routing plan in that two existing truck routes -- Alexander between South Main and Highway 146, and Ward Road between North Main and Highway 146, terminate at Highway 146. if Highway 146 was not a designated truck route trucks using S. Alexander and Ward Road would have no designated truck route once they leave Ward on S. Alexander. (See attached truck route map); (3) Much of the through traffic will use Loop 201 rather than Highway 146 when the Loop is completed. 3. North Pruett and the Glen Arbor Area has been improved and people who have driveways opening on to that street are having difficulty backing out because of the dip between the end of their driveway and the asphalt. Response: There are seven driveways affected with varying degrees of severity. One of the worst is a result of the driveway not having a curb cut which creates a deep valley between the driveway approach and the street. Possible solutions to the problem are as follows: (1) We could saw cut the asphalt two feet away from the curb, take up the old asphalt and taper the approach from 3" down to 3/4 of an inch. This would be a very expensive remedy and would result in a weaker shoulder; (2) Since there are drainage inlets on both ends of all the affected streets, we could shoot grades on the gutters and fill them to an elevation so as not to affect the drainage. On the east side of N. Pruett near Spur 201, we would have to come behind the curb with some 6" pvc and put an•inlet in the street and connect it to the system. This would alleviate the problem with the least expense. 4. There is a drainage problem during heavy rains on Inverness Street near the Albert Fellow's home. Response: The entire storm sewer system serving Inverness was inspected by Public Works crews and no blockages or other problems were found. During heavy rains we experience temporary street flooding in the low area around the inlets which subsides quickly as the drainage system handles the runoff. Homes and yards in the low area are much higher than the street. An entire new drainage system of pipes and inlets would have to be installed from Inverness Street to Goose Creek to decrease the runoff time. During heavy rains temporary street flooding occurs in many parts of the city since the streets are carrying water to the storm sewer inlets. 5. We were asked to contact the seismographic crew in regard to properly marking the area of work as well as furnishing a flagman. Also they need to clean up after the job is completed in a given area. Response: We contacted the Seismographic Company and were advised that the work was completed in Baytown on April 8 and that a crew would be sent to remove the tape from the surfaces of the streets. 6. Councilman Philips asked that the no -left turns on Texas Avenue onto the one -way streets be removed. Response: We will take traffic counts at these locations and take this item to the Traffic Committee on April 22. 7. Mayor Cannon felt that the signals on Texas Avenue should be timed to begin flashing earlier but asked that Bill work with the Downtown Action Group in this regard. Response: The signals on West Texas Avenue at its intersection with Gaillard, Ashbel and Jones were changed to flash between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. This corresponds to the hours that the N. Gaillard and West Defee signal flashes. 8. City Council asked that Air. Cornelius take another look at the "no -right turns on red" along Highway 146. Response: The only intersections on Highway 146 that presently have this restriction are the Highway 146 traffic at E. Texas Avenue and all directions at Ward Road. The criteria for this type of control has been the high percentage of left turns. The reasoning is that a driver is usually concerned only with right turn approaches and does not look to the front for left turning traffic; thereby, creating a potential accident situation. 9. Ms. Gillum asked that Brownwood be cleared of debris and mowed. She also mentioned that there may be a future need for pumps in Brownwood. Response: We could not do an adequate job of mowing in the Brownwood area until the debris has been cleared away. The plan is to acquire all of the property in Brownwood and then clear the debris away. When this has been done the area can be kept mowed. Whether pumps will be needed in the Brownwood area in the future will be determined when the development plans - have been finalized. 10. The Administration was asked to get an overall status report on the county's bond program for the Baytown area. Response: See attached memorandum. 11. Get information from Goose Creek School District regarding revenues from oil production leases. Response: See Ken Mitchell's memorandum dated April 2. 12. Drainage Problem at 134 Woods Avenue. Response: A Public Works crew checked and found that several piped driveways downstream of 134 Woods had debris blocking the inlets. The debris was cleared away. The Steinman Outfall ditch was on last year's drainage program and was cleaned. This provides good drainage for this area. M E M O R A N D U M April 9, 1985 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Fritz Lanham, City Manager SUBJECT: Status of 1981 Harris County Bond Program Prior to the 1981 Harris County Bond Election, the Commissioner's Court requested that the Baytown City Council submit projects involving street improvements, drainage improve- ments, and parks improvements that Baytown mould like to see included in the bond program. The City Council at your meeting on March 28, requested that we check with Harris County on the status of the 1981 bond program. The following is a report on the drainage improvements. A report on streets and parks will be given to the Council when it is provided to me.
