Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 27, 1987
Consider Authorizing Readvertisement For Rehabilitation Contract
For 1213 Bookertee
This contract was originally awarded to Morgan Construction,
and under the contract terms, he was to begin the project within
30 days, with 30 days to complete it. It has been over 100 days,
and he has not begun the project. The Community Development
Advisory Board has recommended that the contract be terminated
and that the administration be authorized to readvertise for
bids.

Consider Recommendation of the Community Development Citizens
Advisory Committee To Appoint One Of Its Members To The Economic
Development Foundation
The Community Development Advisory Board has requested that
one of its members be appointed to the Economic Development
Foundation. However, according to the by -laws of the Economic
Development Foundation, the mayor, the city manager, and one
member of council appointed by council are on the board of the
foundation. Since the Economic Development Foundation is
chartered by the State of Texas, this would require a change in
the by -laws. The only time the by -laws can be amended is at the
annual meeting in January.
Therefore, Mayor Hutto suggested that the administration
draft a letter to the Economic Development Foundation explaining
that council feels that this matter should be addressed by the
foundation. Council members had no objection.
The City Manager also pointed out that the Community
Development Advisory Board should be notified that their request
should be made to the foundation.
Consent Agenda
Council considered the Consent Agenda Items "b" through "k"
as follows:
b. Proposed Ordinance No. 70827 -4, will award the contract
for Sharon Road /North Burnet Utility Improvements to Angel
Brothers Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $43,543.25. There
were five bidders. The engineering estimate was $53,000.
We recommend approval.
C. Proposed Ordinance No. 70827 -5, will authorize final
payment to Rawhide Roofing for repair of the brush burner pit in
the amount of $2,170. One change order for repair of an
additional 62 square feet was added. The total amount of the
contract is $10,659.
70827 -5
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 27, 1987
We recommend approval.
d. Proposed Ordinance No. 70827 -6, will approve payment to
Utility Supply Company for purchase of 15" PVC pipe in the amount
of $2,090.40. On April 9, city council approved the purchase of
materials needed to extend a 15" sewer line to Forest Gate Subdi-
vision. The estimated quantity of pipe needed was 280'. Since
the city does not have an annual contract for 15" sewer pipe, the
Public Works Department took letter bids and received a low bid
of $6.70 per foot from Utility Supply Company. A purchase order
was issued in the amount of $1,876.
Bids for the 15" PVC pipe were as follows:
Utility Supply Company $6.70
Municipal Supply Company $6.74
Golden Triangle Supply $6.80
Utility Supply delivered 312 feet of pipe to the job.
The additional pipe was needed and utilized by Angel Brothers to
extend the sewer line past the subdivision driveway. The city
was invoiced for pipe delivered, which was 312 feet, at a total
cost of $2,090.40.
We recommend approval.
e. Proposed Ordinance No. 70827 -7, will authorize a mutual
aid agreement with Chambers County. The purpose of this agree-
ment is to provide mutual aid for the City of Baytown and Cham-
bers County, in meeting any emergency or disaster from enemy
attack or other cause, natural or otherwise. This agreement is
made pursuant to the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Texas Revised
Civil Statutes, Article 4413 (32c), and Texas Revised Civil
Statutes, Article 6889 -7, commonly referred to as the Disaster
Act of 1975.
This agreement recognizes that the prompt, full and
effective utilization of the resources of the respective cities
and counties is essential to the safety, care and welfare of the
people thereof in the event of a major emergency or disaster.
The coordinators of Emergency Management of both groups shall
constitute a committee to formulate plans and take all necessary
steps for the implementation of this agreement.
We recommend approval.
70827 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 27, 1987
f, Proposed Ordinance No. 70827 -8 authorizes a contract
for rental of seven copiers to Global Services in the amount of
$40,701.36. Invitations to bid were mailed to 13 vendors, of
which seven returned bids, and two no -bid.
Global Service's alternate bid for all seven copiers
appears to be the most advantageous to the city, and it is recom-
mended that this company be awarded the contract. The initial
contract is for one year. It can be extended for two additional
one year periods at the same price.
We recommend approval.
g. Proposed Ordinance No. 70827 -9, awards the bid for the
purchase of a Caterpillar 3208 engine for the Solid Waste
Division to the low bidder, Jack Roach Ford, in the amount of
$4,990. Invitations to bid were mailed to three vendors, of
which two returned quotes and one no -bid.
We recommend approval.

We recommend approval.
i. Proposed Ordinance No. 70827 -11, awards the bid for

After calling the vendors that did not bid, it was determined
that five vendors were out of business and three vendors were not
local and could not economically bid.
We recommend approval.
k. Proposed Ordinance No. 70827 -13, awards the bid for
portable air cylinders to the low bidder, Weis American Fire

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Emergency Contract For
Rehabilitation at 1606 Duke To Second Low Bidder, Uranus Palton
Arthur Morgan, 301 Danubina, doing business as Morgan Con-
struction, appeared to state that he had completed $6,524 worth
of work at 1606 Duke. Also, he indicated that the bid submitted
by Mr. Palton was excessive.
Brent Barnes, Community Development Planner, explained that
Mr. Morgan had installed used materials at 1606 Duke, which Mr.
Morgan refused to remove and replace with new materials. At the
time Mr. Morgan's contract was terminated, Mr. Morgan removed all
of the electrical wiring that he had installed which required
extra work on the part of a second contractor to rewire. Also
the second contractor was required to remove all the used
materials and start from scratch.
The Community Development contracts specify that in the
event a contract is cancelled and a second contractor must com-
plete the contract, the original contractor will be paid the
difference between the original contract amount and the second
contract amount. Therefore, Mr. Morgan is entitled to about
$1,500.

Mayor Hutto called upon the city manager to summarize the
budget proposal for the 1987 -88 fiscal year. The city manager
explained that the city charter requires that the city manager
present a proposed budget to the city council prior to the end of
July each year. In considering the final adoption of the budget,
the city council studies the document presented by the city
manager, as well as citizen input from the public hearing prior
to adoption of the final budget document. The final budget
document must be adopted no later than September 27 in accordance
with the provisions of the city charter.
a
70827 -ii
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 27, 1987
In preparation of the budget proposal, the staff has again
been very sensitive to the economic environment of the community.
The proposed budget includes estimates of both revenues and
expenditures and the two must be in balance. Therefore, in
developing the budget document the staff must look at both
revenues and expenditures.
l
In order to present a balanced budget for 1987 -88,
reductions in expenditures in many areas have been recommended
and a revenue increase is being proposed. Various funds make up
the proposed budget. The largest of these funds is the general
fund which supports such things as streets, drainage, fire,
police, and several other departments of the city. This year the
general fund is $19,551 less than the approved budget for the
current year. The solid waste fund is up $36,073. The water
fund is down $173,561 less than the current year's budget. The
general obligation interest and sinking fund is the fund from
which payments are made on bonded indebtedness. Money goes into
that fund as taxes are collected to cover principal and interest
payments. That is up over the current year by $342,039. The
reason for this is that over $12,000,000 in bonds have been
issued over a two year period. The total budget is up $186,105
or .573 above current year. The proposed budget for 1987 -88 is
.07 greater than six years ago. This reflects good stewardship
of public funds. There are few organizations who have had this
small an increase over a six year period.
Grouped within the major funds mentioned above there are
thirty -five department and division budgets. Proposed are
increases in fifteen of these and decreases in twenty. The major
departments affected by the proposed decreases are the library,
fire, police, public works and parks and recreation. It has been
recommended that eleven positions be eliminated resulting in a
savings of $321,000. Some positions have been combined and
operations have been merged in order to bring about needed
economies. Capital outlay has been reduced again.
There are expected increases in insurance cost for which
funds have been included. Performance based pay increases of 2%
are recommended again for next year in the period April through
September. The amount of the increase would be dependent upon
performance. Some would get more, some would get less than 2 %.
Civil Service employees would get a 2% across the board increase
in April. Improvements in the retirement system are recommended
at a cost of $20,000 a year. Funds have been included to
continue supporting the economic development effort and for
proceeding on some of the recommendations of the Strategic Plan-
ning Commission.
70827 -12
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 27, 1987
In developing the budget recommendation, the staff was faced
with declining revenues. Sales tax would have been down had the
state legislature not broadened the sales tax base. Franchise
tax is expected to be down - not the rate but the total amount.
Inspection fees and interest income are expected to be down.
Both industrial district revenues and property tax revenues would
have been down without a recommended change in the tax rate. In
order to balance the revenues with the proposed expenditures,
there must be an increase in taxes or service charges. The
proposed budget reflects an increase in the tax rate of 4 cents
from 60 1/2 cents to 64 1/2 cents.
It is important to note in this regard that:
1. A final tax roll has not been received; therefore the
estimates which have been used are subject to change
after the Appraisal District has completed its hearings
and developed a final tar, roll. The administration
expects to receive the final roll in mid - September.
2. Tax revenues would decline below the current year
without the proposed increase.
3. With the reevaluation of property, most property owners
will have a reduction in property values, and as a
result some will be paying less city taxes next year
even after the four cent increase.
4. Finally, with regard to the impact of the proposed tax
increase, if property on the tax roll is considered,
and property in the industrial district on which indus-
trial district payments are paid is considered, single
family homes will pay about 21% of the total, while
industries will pay 40%. So the major impact fails on
non - residential taxpayers.
The City Manager ended his presentation by stating that the
budget represents consideration of many factors and many hours of
work, as well as staff judgements as to how to best provide
services to the community within financial constraints. After
the public hearing the city council will made the final determin-
ation as to the levels of service to be provided by the various
city departments and the dollar amount of the finally adopted
budget.
Mayor Hutto reiterated that the city council would not make
a final determination on the budget at this meeting. City

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 27, 1987
Council, at this meeting, is interested in receiving input from
the citizens of Baytown. Mayor Hutto encouraged those who had
registered to speak to respect the five- minute time limit and
asked that speakers not be repetitive. Mayor Hutto recognized
those who had registered to speak as follows:
Gene Kinney, Jr., 5100 Parsley Avenue, stated that the
average citizen in Baytown does not desire to have increases in
taxes to support such things as a marina, golf course, etc, nor
are they supportive of decreases in the fire and police
departments. He suggested that there should be some belt
tightening rather than a tax increase.
Ron Moser, President of the Police Officers Association for
the City of Baytown, stated that the association was supportive
of the letter which Lieutenant Charles Shaffer had provided to
council on Tuesday, August 25. Mr. Moser expressed concern with
the proposed cuts of three patrol officers and one jailer in the
police department budget. The association feels that the
lessening of patrol officers will be directly related to increase
in crime due to decreased visability.
He stated that because the association understands the
current budget problems, no pay increase is being requested;
however, the association is asking council to consider increasing
the employee contributions to the Texas Municipal Retirement
System from .05 to .07. In the salary survey performed by Water,
Trego & Davis last year, 7 of the 8 cities surveyed in comparison
with Baytown, at the time of the survey, were already providing
.07 employee contributions. One of the cities was providing .09.
With recent changes in the TMRS Act, it is now possible to
increase contributions by .01 rather than the past requirement of
.02 increments which would allow for a.01 increase this year and
a .01 increase next year to get Baytown to the .07 norm.
Lastly, the association, urged council to reconsider the
performance based pay plan and consider reinstating step
increases for civil service employees. The association feels
that this would be closer in keeping with the guidelines set
forth under Section 8 of 1269m for civil service employees, plus
providing incentives for younger employees of the Baytown Police
Department.
Rocky Rodriguez, 601 W. Cleveland, addressed the proposal to
reduce the fire and police budgets. He noted that in the
proposed budget there are funds included as follows:
70827 -14
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 27, 1987
* 10,000 Airport Study
* 15,000 Goose Creek Stream Study
$160,000 Community Image
1_25s0OO Economic Development
$210,000
This $210,000 can and should be used to maintain adequate
fire and police protection. Mr. Rodriguez maintained that if
one analyzes the participation in the town hall meeting, of the
353 in attendance, after deleting all duplications, city council
members and out of towners, there is a total of 219 which is less
than 1/2 of 1% of the population of Baytown which he felt was not
representative of the entire community.
Roxanne Gillum expressed concern with the proposed cuts in
fire and police department budgets. Also, she expressed the
opinion that the City of Baytown did not need to acquire more
debt by the issuance of bonds to fund the Baytown 2000 projects.
For a source of more revenue, Ms. Gillum suggested that
perhaps Baytown would want to look at an industrial development
tax that would increase in increments and that the additional
$70,000 for brush pickup be utilized to fund the police
department.
She expressed support of the fire and police personnel in
their request for reinstatement of the step plan for civil
service personnel.
Ms. Gillum feels that Baytown 2000 should not be pursued at
the expense of departments such as fire, police and the library.
The library has had more business this year than last year, yet
it is operating on about 1/3 of the budget that it had 2 years
ago.
Becky Brown expressed the opinion that to cut the fire and
police department budgets would cause the citizens of Baytown
concern for their safety.
Marion Koontz, representative of the Baytown Professional
Fire Fighters Association, stated that the proposed budget
provides for reducing the fire department work force by demoting
three drivers, laying off three city fire fighters and taking one
of the mini pumpers out of service. These positions are
presently being used to supplement a serious manpower shortage.
The fire fighters and equipment are used in the northwest section
of the city to assist in establishing water supplies, as
additional personnel in fire fighting, for providing supplemental
resue capabilities, as well as county response.
W
70827 -15
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 27, 1987
APN The main reason that the city's response is in need of the
additional supplementation is that the present city response
consists of three fire surpression personnel with three
additional personnel arriving 5,6, 7 or 8 minutes later. Two of
the people there are going to be staying with their equipment
which leaves four people to do everything that must be done at a
fire. These four people will be fighting the fire, providing
rescue, ventilation, salvage, etc. In other cities like Houston,
the very same fire would be handled by twelve or fifteen people.
Two years ago a commitment was made by council to address
the problem by hiring three additional fire fighters every year
for three years. Three people have been hired, but the same
shortage exists, and now the proposal is to eliminate the three
people who were hired to help address the problem. Presently,
the Baytown Fire Department is operating at a level that is about
.16 or .20 below minimum standards that are recommended by the
State Hoard of Insurance and people who pay insurance, pay a
penalty for that. Therefore, the fire fighters do not feel that
their request to keep their work force the same is unreasonable
at this time.
Rebecca Jasso, representative of the Baytown Area Women's
Center, requested support of the matching requirement of a grant
that the center has through the City of Raytown from the
Governor's Criminal Justice Division. The grant is for $30,000
and requires a $6,000 match. The funds provided by the grant
have helped BAWC establish an emergency accompaniment program in
the Baytown area. Presently, BAWC is working with two local
hospitals to provide services to victims of sexual assault and
family violence, both children and adults that come into the
emergency room to get treatment. The program funds two part time
staff people. One is a counselor who is trained to work with
victims, and the other is a part time volunteer coordinator who
helps to recruit most of the volunteers who do most of the work.
Currently, there are volunteers on call twelve hours a day from
6:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m., 365 days a year. This program has
been a great benefit to the City of Baytown and has helped to
create a better city to live in. The $6,000 must be provided by
the City of Baytown in order for BAWC to receive the grant.
The city manager mentioned that funds to support this
program have been included in the proposed budget.
Jean Shepherd, 7616 Bayway, expressed concern with the
proposed cuts in the fire and police departments. She felt that
cuts in the fire department could lead to homeowners inability to
70827 -16
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 27, 1987
acquire insurance and that cuts in the police department could
lead to response time that would be intolerable, resulting in the
attraction of the criminal element to the community.
Judy Hardy, commented that at present, it may not be the
best time to study the feasiblity of an airport when the FAA has
just declared Baytown and this general area within the flight
patterns that they will be controlling, and either Hobby or
Intercontinental must be contacted prior to landing or flying in
this area.
Ms. Hardy suggested that cuts be made in areas other than in
basic services and questioned the salary proposed for a greens
keeper and the fact that a supervisory position is being included
under the EMS budget.
Mery Rosenbaum, representative of the Lakewood Neighborhood
Watch Program, stated that he and Mr. Frank Whalen were present
as representatives of the watch program to urge that no positions
be cut from the police force because the number of criminal
offenses are rising.
He pointed out that Baytown has one of the lowest ratios of
police to citizens of comparable Texas cities. Baytown presently
is below the national average and the average of southern cities
for the number of police per thousand people. Baytown police are
very effective and the proposed reduction is a fraction of 1% of
the budget, that is the amount taken up in the manpower
reduction. It's only about 1% of the property tax.
Wallis Hunt, 900 Elmwood, commended Councilman Simmons for
objecting to assessing a utility tax and for recommending the
repeal of the telephone long distance tax. Mr. Hunt asked that
council consider eliminating the utility franchise tax and
recommended that council attempt to use qualified volunteers to
perform studies.
Stephen Donnelly, stated that the city needs to keep the
basic services up and to keep the police and fire departments
whole. He said that Baytown needs to stop spending money on
appeals of judgements that have gone against us. With the
economy being what it is, he felt that it is unrealistic to be
considering Baytown 2,000 at the expense of current services.
Mayor Hutto thanked the citizens who appeared to express
their thoughts. He informed those present that input from the
public hearing would be taken into account prior to a final
decision being made on the budget.
70827 -17
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - August 27, 1987
Councilman Johnson recommended that council use the $70,000
proposed to go to the four week trash pickup to keep the police
department manpower at current level. That would leave a balance
of $309000 which council would need to fund from some other
source.
Consider Appointment To Traffic Commission
Councilman Philips moved to appoint Thomas P. McLaughlin to
fill the unxpired term of M.T. Haynes on the Traffic Commission.
Councilman Johnson seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons
Embry, Fuller and Pruett
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
