Consider Proposed Ordinance, Selecting a City Depository
Every two years the City of Baytown receives bids for a city
depository. This year bids were received from InterFirst and
Baytown State Bank. InterFirst bid -1% under the treasury bill
yield rate; while Baytown State Bank bid +.18 over the treasury
bill rate. Since Baytown State Bank bid the higher yield for
deposited city funds, the administration recommended approval of
the ordinance selecting Baytown State Bank as the city's deposi-
tory.
Councilman Embry moved for adoption of the ordinance; Coun-
cilman Simmons seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,

Ordinance No. 4541
AN ORDINANCE SELECTING A CITY DEPOSITORY; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR
AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AND ATTEST TO A CONTRACT WITH THE
SELECTED DEPOSITORY; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Approving Continuation of an Agree-
ment with TML Insurance Trust Fund for Medical and Dental Insur-
ance for the City of Baytown Employees
For several years the City of Baytown has been a part of the
Texas Municipal League Insurance Trust Fund. Texas Municipal
League periodically takes bids from interested insurance
companies, and cities have the option of entering interlocal
agreements with Texas Municipal League to provide insurance
coverage for their employees. Texas Municipal League took bids
this year and awarded the contract to Hartford.
The administration recommended adoption of the Hartford
Retrospective Rating which keeps in effect the additional premium
clause which has offset rate increases in the past. Last year
the city used the APC to provide for a zero percent increase.
Selection of this alternative will represent a 3.87% increase of
which 1.3% is APC. The administration recommend approval of the
ordinance.
Councilman Simmons moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Philips seconded the motion. The vote follows:

DATE.
Consider Proposed Resolution, Establishing a Prevailing Wage for
the City of Baytown Construction Contracts
Baytown is required by state law to periodically establish a
minimum prevailing wage for construction projects. The adminis-
tration has taken the existing wage scale, along with the wage
scale used by two contractors working in Baytown and the wage
scale used by the State Highway Department for contracts in the
Baytown area to produce the recommended minimum prevailing wage.
The administration recommended approval of the proposed resolu-
tion establishing a prevailing wage for the City of Baytown
construction contracts.
Councilman Philips moved for the adoption of the proposed
resolution; Council Embry seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,

60911-4
Consider Proposed Resolution, Opposing Application by Harris
County Fresh Water Supply District lA for an Amendment to Their
Wastewater Discharge Permit
The administration has been notified by the State of Texas
Water Development Board that this district has requested an
amendment to their present wastewater discharge permit. The
district currently is permitted at 190,000 gallons per day. They
propose to amend their permit to allow an interim flow of 320,000
gallons per day and a final flow of 500,000 gallons per day.
Harris County Fresh Water Supply District 1A discharges its
sewage effluent into Goose Creek. This request for amendment is
similar to the request made by Coady Water District.
For many years the City of Baytown has worked to clean up
Goose Creek Stream. The administration feels a more suitable
alternative would be for Harris County Fresh Water Supply Dis-
trict lA to modify their sewage treatment plant, to construct a
pump station and force main which would pump to the city's West
District Plant, and to pay a capital buy -in fee for plant capa-
city. The administration recommended approval of the resolution.
A public hearing has been scheduled on the permit amendment
request. The administration recommended that a copy of the
resolution be forwarded to the proper authorities and that a
representative of the City of Baytown appear at the hearing.
Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the resolution;
Councilman Embry seconded the motion. Mayor Hutto pointed out
that Spring Gully would be affected by this permit amendment as
well. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Embry and Pruett
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Resolution No. 956
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS,
PROTESTING THE APPLICATION FOR AN AMENDED WASTE DISPOSAL PERMIT
FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES BY HARRIS COUNTY FRESH WATER
SUPPLY DISTRICT NO. 1A; URGING THE TEXAS WATER COMMISSION TO DENY
SUCH APPLICATION; REQUESTING THE COMMISSION TO ENCOURAGE A CON-
TRACT BETWEEN THE CITY AND DISTRICT; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFEC-
TIVE DATE HEREOF.
60911-5
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Bid for Hydraulic Pump
Emergency bids were taken to purchase a hydraulic pump for
the front end loader which operates at the brush burner. Emer-
gency bids were taken because the front end loader is essential
to the brush burner operation. Of eight potential bidders, only
one bid was received. Baytown Pneumatic bid $2,453.73. The
administration recommended approval of the ordinance.
Councilman Johnson moved for adoption of the ordinance;
Councilman Pruett seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons,
Embry and Pruett
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
ORDINANCE NO. 4543
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS,
DECLARING THAT AN EMERGENCY SITUATION EXISTS, AUTHORIZING THE
PAYMENT OF THE SUM OF TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY-THREE AND
73/100 ($2,453.73) DOLLARS TO BAYTOWN PNEUMATICS AND HYDRAULICS
FOR THE PURCHASE OF A HYDRAULIC PUMP AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFEC-
TIVE DATE HEREOF.
Consent Agenda
Council considered the consent agenda as follows:
a. Proposed Ordinance No. 60911-3, will award the bid for
the annual fire hydrant contract. Bids were sent to eight
vendors and six proposals were received. Janco Pipe and Fab.
submitted the low bid in the amount of $5,240.55.
We recommend the low bidder, Janco Pipe and Fab., be
awarded this contract.
b. Proposed Ordinance No. 60911-4, will award the bid for
the annual traffic paint contract. Bids were mailed to nine
vendors and five proposals were received. The low bidder meeting
specifications is Sherwin Williams with a bid of $9,228. This
paint is for the Planning and Traffic Department.
We recommend the low bidder, Sherwin Williams 07702, be
awarded this contract.
Im
60911-6
C. Proposed Ordinance No. 60911-5, will award the final
payment for the 1985-86 Sanitary Sewer Sliplining Phase I. The
contract for this project was awarded to Teal Contracting Com-
pany, Inc. of Beaumont in the amount of $169,606.21. The work
order was dated March 10, 1986, and work was to have been com-
pleted in 100 working days. Two change orders to slipline sewers
along McKinney Road and in a line segment between Amy and McFar-
land increased the total contract to $187,849.91 and the time of
construction to 120 working days.
Construction work has now been completed and meets the
contract requirements. All work was inspected by the contrac-
tor's representative and members of the city's Engineering De-
partment on September 5.
The final cost of the work was $182,377.82 and was
performed in 117 working days. The final cost represents an
underrun of $5,472.09. This was due primarily to some sliplining
segments being shorter than had been anticipated, and the provi-
sion of a new manhole to be provided by the contractor that
became more expedient for city crews to install.
Teal has already been paid $173,258.93. We recommend
that the project work be accepted by council and that payment of
the remaining balance of $9,118.89 be authorized.

City Manager's Report
Jail Contract - Since 1973 the City of Baytown and Harris
County have had an interlocal agreement for jail service. The
current budget and the proposed budget include approximately
$76,000 for the county's payment to the City of Baytown for that
service. The administration has been notified by Ms. Rodeheaver
that the contract will be terminated at the end of October. The
county has constructed a new facility in the Northshore Area
which facility contains a jail. Not only will the City of Bay-
town lose the revenue from the contract, but the city will need
to develop a plan for transportation of city prisoners to
Houston. The budget will be reduced by about $68,000, and there
will be the added cost of transportation of city prisoners to
Houston.
Fire Station at Tenth & Fayle Street - The Fire Station at
Tenth at Fayle should be complete next week.
Massey Tompkins Road Water Tower - The foundation subcon-
tractor has completed the structural foundation ring. The gen-
eral contractor has completed erection of the tank support sec-
tions. The remaining steel plate sections will be the tank
steel. The 3-inch plate girder is in place, and 80% of all the
steel needed for the project is on site. The total project is
about 34% complete.
Community Development - The Ash, Willow, and Huggins project
is about 70% complete. The concrete is in place on Huggins and
Willow, and the driveways are being poured. Once the curbs are
in place, traffic will be permitted on those streets.
N
60911-8
In response to an inquiry from council, Norman Dykes, City
Engineer, stated that the reason the street was set lower was to
alleviate the drainage problems of the area.
1986 Street Improvement - Hubco is the contractor on this
project. They are presently working on Chaparral Drive. They
had begun work on East Adoue, but the city needed to make utility
adjustments before work could proceed. All the service lines
must be lowered.
The contractor has made patches and repaired subgrade fail-
ures along the portion of Massey Tompkins that is part of this
++ contract. The contractor expects to asphalt these two streets
Friday and Saturday.
Beaumont street, Ward Road Drainage Project - Angel Brothers
has installed the first section of the box culvert at the Tenth
Street Detention Pond.
Drainage - City crews are about 20% complete on the Pin Oak
drainage work.
TML Conference - Council was reminded of the upcoming TML
Conference to be held in Houston beginning October 9 through 11.
Mayor Hutto is a member of the Resolutions Committee.
Questions/Comments of Council - Mayor Hutto reminded council
that shortly after his election, he had asked council: (1) to
move the City Manager's Report to the end of the agenda; (2) to
notify council of either the intention to ride or of having been
a rider with a police officer; (3) to notify the administration
of any complaints received rather than trying to resolve those at
the council table. He asked if council would like to make any
changes. He noted that he had found that problems that he had
been made aware of were often taken care of before the next
council meeting; council concurred. Council felt that the pre-
sent procedure is working well.
City Manager's Report - Continued
Auto Wrecker Permit - The Auto Wrecker Committee recently met
to consider the request for an auto wrecker permit which permit
was denied. Therefore, the applicant has appealed that decision
to city council. Council scheduled the regular meeting to begin
at 5:30 p.m. on September 25 in order to consider the appeal of
Mr. Adulfo Amador for auto wrecker permit.
60911-9
Recess
Mayor Hutto recessed the open meeting into executive session
to discuss pending litigation with regard to Campos versus City
of Baytown. When the open meeting reconvened, Mayor Hutto an-
nounced that there was no business necessary as a result of the
executive session.
AdJeurn
There being no further business to be transacted, the meeting
was adjourned.
