Rocky Rodriguez Will Appear
Rocky Rodriguez, owner of property along Texas Avenue,
appeared to make certain inquiries concerning the contract
between the City of Baytown and Arnold Development. First,
Mr. Rodriguez felt that the provision of the contract that
gives Arnold Development exclusive rights to the use of
the study for a period of two years after completion of the
study and provides that the base information will not be
released to any other party during that period is a violation
of the open records act.
50912 -2
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Sept. 12, 1985
The city attorney responded that he believed that council
had agreed to those provisions, because if that information were
to be released, this would give an unfair advantage to
competitors. He also mentioned that one of the provisions
of the contract is that if this amendment is found to be in
violation of any law, statute, ordinance, etc., it would not
be binding. Therefore, if there is a determination that that
provision does violate the open records act, the provision
would not be binding on either party.
Mr. Rodriguez challenged the contract under Article 11,
Section 3 of the Municipal Corporation Act which prohibits
the loan of credit by a municipality to a private venture. He
felt the contract provided Mr. Arnold with money to perform
a study which Mr. Arnold should be performing on his own.
Mr. Rodriguez next made reference to the portion of
the contract that mentioned the Texas Community Development
Act of 1975. He pointed out that the act required that
any city desiring to utilize its provisions must adopt by
resolution or ordinance the act and subsequently, hold
public hearing in accordance with the act's provisions.
The city attorney explained that until the city decides
on a plan, there would be no reason to adopt the provisions
of the act, nor to hold a public hearing.
Mayor Hutto, in response to a question from Mr. Rodri-
guez, stated that the Planning Commission had made no
recommendation to council with regard to the study on
Texas Avenue.
Mr. Rodriguez also made reference to Section 56 of
the Charter, but the city attorney pointed out that that
provision is dealing exclusively with bond projects.
Mr. Rodriguez pointed to the section of the charter
that provides that the director of finance is to approve
all appropriations, and inquired if the finance director
had verified that the $180,000 was on hand. Mr. Lanham
responded that the finance director had verified that
the $60,000 was on hand for the first phase of the contract.
Another point made by Mr. Rodriguez was that the charter
provides that the director of finance shall have the power
and shall be required to examine and approve all contracts,
orders and other documents by which the city government
incurs financial obligations, having previously ascertained
that moneys have been appropriated and allotted and will be
available when the obligations shall become due and payable.
Although the director of finance had verified that the
$60,000 was available, he had not personally examined the
contract prior to its execution.
Mr. Rodriquez maintained that when council targeted
Texas Avenue for study that they were treating that area
as a "privately owned subdivision" which would be contrary
to charter provisions. The city attorney disagreed with
Mr. Rodriguez's definition of "privately owned subdivision."
50912 -3
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Sept. 12, 1985
He pointed out that all the contract did was to designate
an area to be studied. Besides that, the study will include
the entire community's relationship to this particular
area.
Mr. Rodriguez in his closing remarks reminded council
of their oaths of office, and asked council to reconsider
and repeal the amendment to the contract.
Hold Public Hearings on Proposed Annexation of a Portion
of Amoco Chemical Corporation, Chevron and Hoesch
Tubular Products at 7:00 p.m.
Mayor Hutto opened the public hearing on the proposed
annexation of a portion of Amoco Chemical Corporation,
Chevron and Hoesch Tubular Products. He asked all inter-
ested parties to sign the register since that would provide
the speaking order for the hearing. The mayor informed
those present that Texas law provides that two public
hearings on annexation must be held with one hearing being
on site, if requested. Since no request for on site hearing
had been made, both hearings will be conducted in the council
chamber. A service plan for the area has been developed
and will be on hand in the city clerk's office for examin-
ation by any interested party.
Maps posted in the council chamber depicted the areas
being proposed for annexation. It is necessary to annex
a portion of the Chevron facility to get to the area to be
annexed belonging to Amoco Chemical Corporation.
Annexation of these properties is consistent with the
policy adopted by council in conjunction with the execution
of industrial district agreement. Under industrial district
agreements, approximately twenty (20 %) percent of the property
is annexed and taxes are paid on that portion. There are
no requirements for additional equipment, personnel or
facilities to support annexation of these properties.
Wolfgang Schmidt, President of Hoesch Tubular Products
Company, appeared to state that his company had asked for
exemption under the new construction portion of the indus-
trial district agreement and that the company is requesting
annexation of twenty (20 %) percent of their facilities in
order to execute an industrial district agreement with the
City of Baytown. He expressed his company's pleasure at
being located in Baytown, and how the company plans to be
a very active part of the Baytown Community.
Since no one else had indicated a desire to speak,
Mayor Hutto declared the hearing to be closed.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Amending Junk Car Ordinance
State law has been modified concerning the disposal of
junk cars; therefore, it is necessary to amend the code of
ordinance to conform with state law. The administration
recommended adoption of the ordinance.

Councilman Fuller moved to adopt the ordinance; Council-
man Philips seconded the motion. The vote follows:

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Contract for Employee
Assistance Program
This program has been in effect for just under one year.
The program provides counseling services for employees who have
need of counseling. The contract is with Family Service
Center which is a United Way agency, and it is time to
renew the contract. The administration feels that this is
a good service for employees who are in need of that type
of help since early preventive measures can eliminate the
need for medical attention at some future date.
In response to an inquiry from council, Mr. Lanham
said that since the project went into operation, there
have been 35 different counseling sessions, and through
the first year of operation, 17 employees have utilized
the program. The administration feels that after the
employees become more aware of the program, that there
will be greater participation. The administration
recommended adoption of the ordinance.
Councilman Philips moved to adopt the ordinance;
Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Sept. 12, 1985
Hold Public Hearing on Proposed Annexation of a Portion of
Amoco Chemical Corporation, Chevron and Hoesch Tubular
Products at 7:15 p.m.
State law requires that two public hearings be held on
proposed annexations. Mayor Hutto opened the second public
hearing and stated that if anyone in attendance desired to
speak, they should sign the register provided in the hallway.
No one indicated a desire to speak; therefore, the public
hearing was closed.
Barry Cox, Volunteer Fireman, District No. 6, Will Appear
to Report on Volunteer Activities
Mr. Cox reported that the Five Station Committee had
determined that there are 20 active volunteers and the
$7,000 should be distributed evenly to each volunteer
equaling $350 per volunteer.
In response to an inquiry concerning guaranteed funding
of the $7,000 for future years, Mr. Cox was told that this
council is unable to bind future councils, but the committee's
recommendation will be considered during the future budget
work sessions for this year.
Mr. Cox thanked council for its past support and stated
that the volunteers are trying to increase volunteer par-
ticipation.
Roxanne Gillum Will Appear
Ms. Gillum expressed concern with the cost of con-
demnation proceedings in process to acquire Brownwood for
park purposes and the fact that the city had retained
outside attorneys from Houston to assist in those proceed-
ings. Ms. Gillum felt that the city manager and city
attorney had advised council to make decisions which have
and will continue to adversely affect the financial con-
dition of the city government; therefore, she requested on
behalf of the citizens of Baytown that they submit their
resignations. In the event that the resignations are not
forthcoming, she requested that city council remove the city
manager and city attorney.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Contract for Massey
Tompkins at North Main Improvements
The city manager pointed out that the ordinance had
been drafted with the assumption that this is to be an
assessment project. Council did adopt at an earlier
meeting the initiation ordinance to begin assessment pro-
ceedings with the understanding that at a later date the
decision would be made on whether the project would
actually be an assessment project. By awarding the con-
tract on this basis, the contractor will not be allowed
to commence work until all assessment proceedings have
been completed.
50912 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Sept. 12, 1985
The director of public works /city engineer explained
that the project will consist of removing the dip on the
west side of North Main and construction of a concrete
roadway 730 feet on the east side of North Main with about
200 feet of transition back to the asphalt roadway. The new
construction will be 49 foot wide back to back of curb.
There will be a median and protective turn lane on Massey
Tompkins to turn.south. The administration recommended
adoption of the ordinance.
Council discussed the various aspects of proceeding
from this point and whether the final decision on assessment
could be made at a future point. The city attorney explained
that it would be necessary to develop cost estimates and
acquire appraisals to determine benefit to the property in
order to hold a hearing on benefits. At that point, council
may determine if the project is to be on assessment basis.
Councilman Simmons moved to adopt the ordinance;
Councilman Embry seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Embry, Dickens and Fuller
Nays: Mayor Hutto
Council scheduled the public hearing on benefits for
October 24 at 7:00 p.m.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Sept. 12, 1985
Consider Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement
for Bids for Con'structi'on of,Eleyated Storage Tank
Norman Dykes, Director of Public Works /City Engineer,
distributed a copy of the plans and specifications to council.
The 2,000,000 elevated water storage tank is to be erected
on the one -acre site that the city purchased south of Massey
Tompkins near Raccoon Drive. This was included in the 1981
Capital Improvements Program, and bonds were sold in January
of this year. The estimated cost for erection of the tank
is $2,000,000. The tank will be a round or spheroid type
on legs with a diameter of approximately 105 feet. From the
top of the tank to the ground will be about 144 feet with
about 35 feet of water in the tank. The tank will be tied
into the twelve inch water main that's looped on the north-
east side of town by a sixteen inch water main. The companies
that will be bidding will have different variations of tank
design, but the tanks will be all on legs. Presently, the
largest elevated storage tank in Baytown is 500,000 gallons.
Councilman Dickens suggested that the city specify that
only U.S. made steel be used in the production of the tank,
but the city attorney advised that the Texas Supreme Court
had ruled that only American made steel cannot be specified.
Therefore, Councilman Dickens asked that U.S. Steel be
notified that the City of Baytown will be soliciting bids
for a 2,000,000 gallon elevated water tank and recommend
that they contact the companies that the city will be soli-
citing bids from. The administration recommended approval
of the plans and specifications and authorization to advertise
for bids.
Councilman Dickens moved to approve the plans and speci-
fications and to authorize advertisement for bids; Councilman
Fuller seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Embry, Fuller and Dickens
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Consider Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement
for Bids for Clearing of Airhart Park
Bobby Rountree, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated
that the first phase in the development of Airhart Park would
be the clearing of the site in order to perform necessary
survey and drainage work. While clearing the area, the area
for the ballfields on the north side of the property will be
cleared. The parks' department will be working with the
contractor as far as what trees to save. A minimum amount of
underbrush will be cleared and trees of four to six inches
in size around the roadway will be cleared to clear out an
area for picnic, shelters and playgrounds. The Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department has provided a grant for the total
development of this park for the amount of $115,000. The
estimated cost for the clearing is $30,000 to $35,000.
50912 -8
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Sept. 12, 1985
At a later date, the staff will come to council with

The administration asked that Consent Agenda Items m
and r be removed. The bids on the Hoffman blower came in

City Manager's Report
Architect Drawings for Location of Fire Administra-
tion /Garage - The city manager directed council's attention
to the architect drawings posted behind the council table.
One set of drawings depicted the location of the fire
administration building and garage which is to be located
across from the police building. The architect has developed
two plans with regard to location of that building. The
first plan would put the front door of the fire administra-
tion building across from the front door of the police
building. This would be desirable, but perhaps not the
best utililization of the land. The plan that the admin-
istration would favor is the plan that would put the building
further to the east to leave land for future development.
Also, the tentative plan for the Tenth Street Building
is posted.
Mayor Hutto suggested that council members drop by
the city hall to examine the various drawings and make a
decision on this at their leisure.
Brownwood Cleanup - Final inspection of the first phase
of Brownwood cleanup will be made next week by the city staff
and also a representative of Federal Emergency Management
Agency. Therefore, the city should be able to make final
payment to the contractor at the next meeting. There was
one house on South Bayshore that the contractor was unable
to operate equipment on the land.
East District Sanitary Sewer Work - The contractor has
installed the wet well at the East James Street Lift Station
and has done other work in preparation to pour concrete.
The other contractor has installed about 640 linear feet of
sewer pipe and 6 manholes.
Tenth Street Detention Pond /Park - Williams Brothers
has been unable to complete work on the detention pond /park
due to the rains.
Hydromulching of the Tenth Street Detention Pond /Park -
The hydromulching of the Tenth Street Detention Pond /Park has
11, begun and about 1/3 of the contract has been completed.
Rollingbrook Water Line - The 12 inch line to serve the
Randall's complex is about 85% complete.
50912 -16
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Sept. 12, 1985
Loop 201 (Central Segment) - The highway department was
scheduled to receive bids for the central segment of Loop
201 yesterday, but the administration has not received
notification as to the low bidder. The estimated cost for
this portion of Loop 201 is about $11,000,000.
School Zones - Calls have been received concerning
the new times for school zones. Council had established
school zones for 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to
4:00 p.m., but even though school at the elementary schools
begins at 8:30 a.m., breakfast is served beginning at 8:00
a.m. and there are some elementary classes that dismiss
at 2:45 p.m.
Councilman Johnson will contact Mr. Closs with the
school district to determine the best times for school
zones.
Garbage pickup - Since there had been a letter addressed
to the Editor of the Baytown Sun regarding Monday /Thursday
versus Tuesday /Friday garbage pickup, Councilman Simmons
suggested that the administration look at the first six
months of the year switching the days for garbage pickup,
but Mr. Lanham said that people are creatures of habit
which could produce more complaints than the present situ-
ation. Therefore,:he suggested that the city pickup on
holidays other than Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving
and pay overtime. The cost would be about $1,100 for each
of the holiday pickups.
Gray Sports Center - In response to an inquiry from
Councilman Johnson, Bobby Rountree, Director of Parks and
Recreation, stated that four or five years ago because it
was not cost effective to do so, council approved the
closing of Gray Sports Center and Jenkins Park facilities
on Sunday. Therefore, Mayor Hutto asked that Councilman
Johnson get with Mr. Rountree to discuss the matter further.
Kilgore Road Pavement Cut - Norman Dykes, Director of
Public Works /City Engineer, in response to an inquiry from
Councilman Johnson regarding the patching of a pavement
cut on Kilgore Road, stated that the contractor would be
billed for the patch work performed by city crews.
Recess Into Executive Session to Discuss Pending Litigation
Mayor Hutto recessed the open meeting into executive session
to discuss pending litigation. When the open meeting reconvened,
Mayor Hutto announced that there was no action necessary as a
result of the executive session.
Adjourn
Since there was no further business to be transacted, the
meeting was adjourned.
