Citizens Communication
a. Reverend Robert L. Bell Will Appear Concerning Improve-
ments in Oak Addition
Reverend Bell appeared to express concern with the
deterioration of Oak Addition, especially with regard to
drugs, prostitution and burglaries. He stated that many
elderly citizens were being victimized. He felt that more
police patrol was necessary in the area, and he agreed that
if a Neighborhood Crime Watch Program would help, he would
be willing to work on that aspect. Also, Reverend Bell felt
that signs were needed in close proximity to churches in the
area to indicate that traffic should slow down for the
church.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 10, 1986
Mayor Hutto stated that he understood Reverend Bell's
concerns and suggested that the Reverend and other members
of the community could meet with he and members of the staff
on Monday, July 14 at 4:00 p.m. at City Hall. Reverend Bell
indicated that this would be satisfactory. Mayor Hutto invited
other members of council to attend, if possible.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Setting Rates for Houston
Lighting and Power Company
Randy Strong, City Attorney, mentioned that at the last
council meeting, council had considered adoption of what
is generally proposed as the City of Houston ordinance.
That ordinance grants a rate increase of approximately
$159,000,000 in the base rate of Houston Lighting and
Power Company. At that time, the Office of Public Utility
Counsel had indicated that they had further information
that they would like for council to consider prior to making
a final decision. Part of that information was attached as
an exhibit to the memorandum to council furnished in the
packet.
Basically, there is a rate case where there are experts
from the light company, City of Houston, PUC staff and the
Office of Public Counsel. Each set of experts have their
own opinions about how the rates should be structured based
on what they feel the fair rate of return and financial
integrity of the company dictate.
In the memorandum that the city attorney furnished to
council, he attempted to point out the items that were the
major differences between the Office of Public Counsel
and the City of Houston ordinance. Basically, the City of
Houston is recommending $159,000,000 increase, while the
office of Public Counsel is recommending $69,000,000 decrease.
All the figures discussed include base rate only. The city
attorney did not feel that it would be fair to consider the
fuel costs because of the dramatic decline in fuel costs,
and regardless of which theory one accepts, the customers
are going to receive the benefit of fuel decrease. The
Office of Public Counsel is urging that customers receive
that decrease immediately. Under the Houston ordinance,
they will receive that decrease in due course as fuel
adjustments are made. The citizens and customers will get
that money back if there has been an over collection.
In response to an inquiry from council regarding the
city's alternatives, the city attorney said that the rural
case is already underway, leaving the city with two options:
The city can adopt the Houston ordinance. Baytown is a
part of the Coalition of Cities that is already represen-
ted in the rural rate case. If Baytown adopts the City of
Houston Ordinance, HL&P has indicated that they will not
appeal that action. Therefore, as far as the municipal
rate case, that would be over. However, the city would]
continue to participate in the rural rate case through the
coalition. Due to the manner in which the rate case has
been structured this year, cities will have more input into
the process than they have ever had in the past. If Baytown
60710-3
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 101 1986
elects to adopt a different amount than the City of Houston
ordinance, particularly if it is a lower amount, the light
company would have the option to appeal that decision to the
PUC which would mean that the city would have to appear
before the commission to conduct an appeal. If there would
be an attempt to try to consolidate that appeal into the
ongoing rural rate case, Baytown would be there in name only
because the legal staff does not have the expertise to have
much effect on the case. If council desires to follow that
route, there may be some help available from the Office of
Public Counsel. The other option would be, if the case was
not consolidated with the ongoing rural rate case, Baytown
would have its own separate hearing at some later date and
in that case, Baytown would probably end up with whatever
the PUC determines on the rural rate case.
Another option is if Baytown adopted the Houston ordin-
ance and the PUC came in at a lower rate, under the Public
Utility Regulatories Act, Baytown would have the option to
open up the rates again in a few months to attempt to have
the rates in Baytown lowered to match that which the PUC
develops. That may be part of the plan of the coalition if
the commission develops a lower figure.
The attorney made reference to an electric utility rate
survey which had been prepared by the PUC. It indicated the
standard residential rate for several companies around the
state and HL&P is in the middle range. The rate in 1986 for
500 kilowatts was $37.98 and for 1,000 kilowatts was $80.36.
If one looks at the right hand column, HL&P stands out
because it has the highest rate, but one needs to look over
to see that the company also has a higher useage as well.
Councilman Philips pointed that there are about 43
cities in the Coalition of Cities and about 38 of those have
adopted the City of Houston proposal which indicates that
that group is not going to take any unilateral action
against the City of Houston proposal.
The city attorney responded that that was correct and
this was the group appearing before the PUC in the rural
rate case. Also, he pointed out that about 5 out of 15
cities that are not part of the coalition have adopted the
City of Houston proposal.
The PUC staff figures have recommended a $135,000,000
increase in the base rate for HL&P which is very close to
the Houston figure. One of the primary differences is the
method in which depreciation is taken into account. If you
go back and use the same method, that brings those figures
much closer together. Therefore, both proposals are very
close on the basic issues.
Councilman Fuller expressed the feeling that Baytown
would have very little effect as one small entity involved
in the proceedings if Baytown should elect to go with a
different proposal than Houston; Councilman Philips concurred.
Councilman Fuller moved to adopt the ordinance; Councilman
Philips seconded the motion.
60710-4
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - duly 10, 1986
Mayor Hutto inquired how in the City of Houston's
recommendation did the Director of Public Service reconcile
the issue that HL&P is in extremely good financial condition
and that in 1985, the company earned over 17% return on
equity?
Ms. Jane Cater, Director of Public Service for the City
of Houston, responded that in the last rate case the PUC
authorized HL&P to earn 16.75% return on equity. They then
subtracted from the 16.75% fifty basis points which took it
down to 16.25% and that was a penalty for mismanagement of
construction of both the South Texas and Allen's Creek
Nuclear Projects. That 16.25% is comparable to 14.75% which
the City of Houston has authorized in this rate case. The
reason that it is down is that money rates in general have
come down over the past two years.
Mr. Boyle has commented that the Federal Energy Regu-
lation Commission has authorized a return on equity of 12.9%
for electric utilities regulated by FERC. That is what is
called a generic rate of return. This is an idea that has
recently been introduced in Texas. The Governor wrote a
letter to the three public utility commissions of Texas a
few months ago and asked that that idea be developed for use
in Texas. The three state commissions then asked for comments
statewide, and the City of Houston was one of over twenty
parties that filed comments. Houston was opposed to the
application of generic rate of return for primarily two
reasons: If it is a generic rate of return, the assumption
could be made that it is an average rate of return and if
that average were determined to.be 14.75%, if a utility were
riskier than average, the utility would be authorized a
higher rate of return, but if the utility would be less
risky than average, it would be authorized a lower rate of
return which could be 14.5%. If you then go into a hearing
with the assumption that this generic rate of return is
appropriate, a utility that is less risky is not going to
argue about it, because they should be given 14.5%, but
under the generic rate of return would be given 14.75%. On
the other hand, a utility that is entitled to a higher rate
of return will argue. Therefore, the argument that a generic
rate of return produces judicial economy and therefore, less
time in hearing will not hold true.
Ms. Cater stated that in February, for Central Power
and Light, which is the utility that serves the Corpus
Christi area, the state commission authorized 14.9% return
on equity. This is higher than the 14.75% recommended for
HL&P. Last month, in the GSU case the settlement number was
15.3% return on equity which is higher than is being recommended
for HL&P. Therefore, Houston feels that the 14.75% is
reasonable. It is a good indication of the risk associated
with investment in that utility and it truly reflects the
decline in money costs that have occurred over the past
years.
Mayor Hutto pointed out that the company can borrow
money now at 6-8% less than what they could 1h years ago.
60710-5
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 10, 1986
Ms. Cater referred to the information provided council
during the hearing on July 10. On Schedule 7 is the calcu-
lation of HL&P's weighted cost of capital. It shows that
their debt is acquired at a weighted cost of 8.76% and common
equity stock is at 14.75%. Those are each weighted by their
relative weighting in the capital structure to come up with
the weighted average cost of capital, 11.58% The 11.58% is
what is multiplied times the rate base and then revenue
requirement determinations are included.
Mayor Hutto noted that when prime was up to 20%, the
company still received over 14% return. Now their weighted
cost is about 8.75%.
Councilman Philips stated that from the information
shown, the company did not borrow much money at that time.
Ms. Cater indicated that the company has recently re-
financed a great deal of their high cost debt.
The city attorney pointed out that the Office of Public
Counsel is only recommending a percentage point less on
return on equity. Therefore, the experts involved in this
case all agree that this general area of rate of return is
appropriate.
Councilman Simmons commented that the options presented
by the city attorney are bad and worse. He considers the
Houston ordinance as bad because he disagrees with having
construction work in progress as part of the rate base. He
does not feel that the customer should have to pay for
building plants and facilities which increases the assets of
a corporation which if liquidated, the consumer would not
receive any benefit. The other alternate to adopt a different
rate and appear before the PUC is not feasible either.
The city attorney pointed out that the company must
construct new facilities because they are required to
furnish the service. If the company is required to build
new facilities because of growth, the theory is it is only
fair to put some of that cost back to the people forcing the
company to build new facilities.
Mayor Hutto pointed out that it is not out of the realm
of these cities that have already approved this to take a
second look and reconsider the adoption of the ordinance.
Councilman Simmons stated that there has been some
progress in that area because at one time, the company was
allowed 100% of the work in progress and that has been
decreased to 32%.
In response to an inquiry from council, the city
attorney explained that on Page 3 of the ordinance is what
the residential rate structure will be. The ordinance does
not go through and specify the rates for all the other
classes. The premises is that the rate structure will be
that which is set forth by the company in its petition as
to all of the classes, and the $159,000,000 increase will
be spread amongst all the different rate classes according
60710-6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 10, 1986
to the methodology which the company presented in their
petition with the exception of residential. Therefore, the
$159,000,000 is not just for residential, but a system -wide
increase. The vote follows:

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Establising a 50 m.p.h. Speed
Limit on Spur 330 (Decker Drivel from Rollingbrook Drive
to Wade Road..
Several months ago, the city asked the State Department
of Highways and Public Transportation for a traffic and
engineering investigation to determine what the speed limit
should be on that portion of Decker Drive. That investi-
gation revealed that 85 percentile speeds within this area
were between 48 and 52 mph. The Department of Highways and
Public Transportation has no objection to Baytown's request
to establish a 50 mph speed zone. The present speed limit
is 45 mph. The administration recommended adoption of the
ordinance.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 10, 1986
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute
an Intergovernmental Agreement with H-GAC for Funding for
Transit Planning -
The agreement would provide funds that will pay for 80%
of the cost associated with two transit planning projects
currently underway: working with the State Department of
Highways and Public Transportation to locate a Park and Ride
facility on state-owned right of way in Baytown and working
with National Transit Services, Inc. to initiate a non -
subsidized transit service between Baytown and Houston. The
city would provide 20% matching funding with in kind services
and the grant would be $5,000. The administration recommended
approval of the ordinance.
Councilman Johnson indicated that he would favor the
ordinance as long as Baytown would not need to expend any
funds, and this was not connected with establishing services
through METRO which the people had voted against. The vote

Consider' Proposed Ord'in'ance,' Awarding Bid 'for Carpeting
The proposed ordinance will award the bid for carpeting
of the community building's lobby and hallways. These areas
are heavily traveled and people have slipped there and
fallen at times. This area is used by employees to move
heavy equipment for the various programs available at the
center.
Seven bids were received. The low bid of Floor Gallery
does not meet the gauge and stitch requirements of the
specifications. The bid of Floor Gallery is $ .53 lower
than the bid that does meet specifications which is the bid
of Carpet World, Inc.
W. O'Brien* Reco'gni'zed
W. O'Brien, owner of Floor Gallery, stated that he had
a problem with the fact that his bid figures had been
adjusted and that he did not feel that all the bidders were
bidding on the same carpeting.
60710-8
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 10, 1986
With regard to the extension of the figures, the city
manager clarified that the city reserves the rights to make
correction in extension of figures, and with regard to the
specifications, council explained that the city desires to
obtain the widest spectrum possible on specifications in
order to assure that the city can obtain the best possible
price.
Councilman Fuller moved to adopt the ordinance; Councilman
Philips seconded the motion. The vote follows:

Consider Proposed Resolution No. 9511 Protesting the Application
Filed by Harris County Fresh Water Supply District No. 27
Harris County Fresh Water Supply District No. 27 (Coady)
has filed an application for a permit to discharge effluent
from a sewage treatment plant into Goose Creek Stream. The
district has no plant, and the City of Baytown is presently
providing sewage treatment services to the district. It has
been a goal of the City of Baytown for many years to eliminate
the discharge from waste treatment plants into the upper
reaches of Goose Creek Stream. The plant north of Baker
Road, on Goose Creek Stream was taken out of service and a
transmission line was constructed along Goose Creek Stream
to convey the sewage to the West Main Plant.
Since Baytown is providing treatment services to the
Coady District, along with the fact that it is a long
standing policy of the City of Baytown to reduce the dis-
charge of effluent into Goose Creek Stream, the adminis-
tration recommended approval of the resolution, protesting
the application filed by Harris County Fresh Water Supply
District No. 27.
Billy Plante, President of Harris County Fresh Water
Supply District No. 27, explained that the original permit
that the district held has expired. The contract with the
City of Baytown provides that the district must provide
two years written notice of any proposal to construct a
facility. The district needs to retain the permit in order
to utilize that as a bargaining tool to try to keep its rates
60710-9
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 10, 1986
as low as possible. This district is probably the highest
paying district with an average water bill for 3,000 gallons
of $24 of which $8 is paid for water and the remainder for
sewerage treatment.
Mr. Plante also stated that there has been considerable
back up of the system, and the district has expended $20,000
to close the system up and smoke it to correct points of
infiltration. There have been over 90 points of infiltra-
tion that have been corrected this year. If it comes to the
point that the Craigmont Station is not furnishing the
needed services to the district, the district would have to
make that known to council and then the district would need
to make a decision as to which direction to take.
Councilman Philips stated that Baytown expended a
great amount of money to prevent the dumping of effluent
into Goose Creek Stream, and he would not favor making
Baytown vunerable in that regard. However, if council
needs to go back and reconsider the rates, that is a
viable solution.
Mr. Plante stated that the rates were automatically
renewed for two years because of a provision in the contract.
Council assured Mr. Plante that the contract could be
renegotiated at the consent of both parties and that should
not be a detriment.
Mayor Hutto suggested that the administration work with
Mr. Plante in this regard.
Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the resolution;
Councilman Pruett seconded the motion. The vote follows:

Consent Agenda
Council removed Item d to be considered separately.
60710-10
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - July 10, 1986
Mayor Hutto commented concerning Item b, the establish-
ment of a construction speed zone on Highway 146 for the ship
channel bridge construction. He reminded council that the
state has established such construction speed zones in the
past and would allow the signs to remain in place over the
weekend and holidays when no work was in progress.
Council considered the Consent Agenda as follows:
a. We mailed bid invitations to five vendors and
received three proposals for automatic polymer
dilution/feed systems for the Central and East
Wastewater Treatment Plants. The low bidder is
Environmental Treatment Systems with a bid of
$16,170.
We recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No.
60710-5.
b. The Department of Highways and Public Transportation
has requested the city establish a reduced speed
zone along State Highway 146 along sections of the
roadway that will be affected by construction of
the new ship channel crossing. The Highway Department
has indicated that they anticipate a November 1986
letting for this project.
We recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No.
60710-6.
c. Invitations were mailed to nine vendors and six
bids were received for the purchase of uninterruptible
power source equipment for computers in the Police
Department and Municipal Court. The bid of Computer
Room Technologies for $1,995.00 is the low bid.
However, we had a provision in the bid to purchase
an additional UPS if we wished to do so and we
recommend that we purchase an additional UPS for
the City Clerk's computer system. Therefore, we
are recommending that Council approve the purchase
of four UPS's from Computer Room Technologies, the
low bidder.
We recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No.
60710-7.
e. Proposed Ordinance No. 60710-9, will amend the
city code to decrease the membership of the Mechanical
Board from seven to five members by deleting the
position of air conditioning and/or refrigeration
journeymen and the position of registered professional
engineer. The remaining five positions would be
as follows: registered mechanical engineer,
licensed mechanical contractor, licensed air
conditioning contractor, citizen not in the building
industry, and a general contractor.
We recommend approval.

someone has disposed of a mattress along Decker Drive between
Airhart and Rollingbrook Drive.
Councilman Philips noted that Texas Avenue near the Oak
Tree on the east side of the street is in a poor state of
repair.
Adjourn
