Discuss Exchange of Park Street Right of Way for Exxon Property
The Administration has been approached by the Economic
Development Foundation and Exxon concerning the exchange of Exxon
owned property for property on which Park Street is located.
This subject has been discussed informally over the years.
One of the goals of the Economic Development Foundation is
to provide an industrial site with direct access to industrial
utilities and petro- chemical feedstock for manufacturing. Exxon
is aware of this and has joined with the foundation in pursuing
this goal. They have offered a 53 -acre tract of land adjacent to
the chemical plant in exchange for Park Street and its right of
way.

The public safety issues that would be solved are important
factors. Industry is more cognizant of the need to protect the
public today than it was many years ago when this narrow street
was constructed. The elimination of this street would not only
significantly reduce the possibility of an incident, but it would
also eliminate the expenditure of public funds for street and
drainage maintenance.
There are several reasons this proposal merits considera-
tion:
1. The potential for accidents and injuries due to the
narrow pavement and right of way would be reduced.
2. The potential public exposure to possible chemical
spills or releases and fires would be reduced.
3. The widening and upgrading of Baker Road to four lanes
will make it a more reliable route for general trans-
portation as well as evacuation in the event of a
hurricane.
4. Traffic counts indicate that over 60% of the vehicles
entering or exiting Park Street are industry related.
5. Obtaining property to be developed as an industrial
area has potential to: attract new businesses and jobs
to the community; broaden the tax base; generally
improve economic status of the community; and increase
sales tax revenues for the city.
6. Exxon would be responsible for the street and drainage
maintenance. Park Street floods in the vicinity of
Stauffer Chemical, after only moderate rains.
Council expressed an interest in such an exchange and asked
the administration to place an item for action on the next
agenda.
Three people had registered to speak to this item, but
indicated they would speak on the matter at the next meeting.

Of the cities with a fixed cap, Baytown has the lowest cap

Two cities have variable caps which are based on the individual
customer's consumption during non - irrigation months. Each
customers cap is based on average monthly water consumption for a
three -month period. The three -month period is the same for all
customers. The report included the water and sewer rate
structures of Baytown, along with 11 other Texas cities and
examples of their bills at various consumption levels.
Mr. Lanham reviewed some of the statistics with council. He
mentioned that the information included in the report for Baytown
is based on one month. Therefore, council requested that the
administration gather information for the months January,
February, and March and present an updated report to council in
April.
Consider Plans and Specifications for Water and Sewer Line Exten-
sions to Whataburger on the North Side of IH -10 and Authorize
Advertisement for Bids
Whataburger, Inc. is planning to build a new restaurant on
the northeast corner of Interstate 10 at Garth Road. They have
requested water and sewer service from the City of Baytown.
Plans are to extend utility lines from Garth Road approximately
500 feet east to the proposed site. The City of Baytown, with
approval of council, will advertise for bids and oversee
construction of the project in order that Whataburger will be
eligible for reimbursement as other development connects to the
new line.

890112 -5
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Jan. 12, 1989
The City of Baytown Engineering Department has determined
that a 6 -inch water line and a 6 -inch sewer line are the minimum
requirements to serve Whataburger's facility. However, Norman
Dykes, City Engineer /Director of Public Works, recommended that
the City of Baytown oversize these lines to a 12 -inch water line
and a 10 -inch sewer line to allow for future development. Over -
sizing of the lines will cost the City of Baytown about $7,000.
Included in Whataburger's request was notification that the
company would be requesting annexation. The parcel of property
in question is presently located in a municipal utility district.
This district has been dormant for several years. The Texas
Water Commission advises that there is the possibility that the
district could be disbanded. Therefore, the administration
suggested that council approve the plans and specifications and
authorize the administration to advertise for bids and request
that Whataburger work with the administration to have the utility
district disbanded.
Councilman Simmons moved to approve the plans and specifica-
tions for water and sewer line extensions to Whataburger on the
north side of Interstate 10 and to authorize the administration
to advertise for bids. Councilman Embry seconded the motion.
The vote follows:
Ayes: Council members Philips, Johnson, Simmons
Embry, Fuller and Pruett
Mayor Hutto
Nays: None
Representatives of Whataburger were present and stated that
the company would work with the administration on the disbandment
of the utility district.
Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Payment of $6,016.60 to
Texas Municipal League for Participation in General Telephone
Rate Case
The General Telephone rate case was filed in 1984. Since
the case has continued for a long period of time, resulting in
the attorneys and experts working for the cities requiring
payment, the Steering Committee for the cities has determined
890112 -6
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Jan. 12, 1989
that each participating city should contribute an assessment of
10 cents per capita, based upon the population shown in the most
recent TML Directory in order to pay some of the expenses
incurred. The administration recommend approval.
In response to an inquiry from council, Randy Strong, City
Attorney, explained if the case continues over a long period of
time, the City of Baytown may be asked to contribute towards the
expenses of counsel again. However, when the case is settled
General Telephone Company will be required to pay all the
expenses incurred.

Consider Proposed Ordinance, Awarding Annual Plastic Garbage Bag
Contract
The administration recommended that council award the bid to
the low bidder, Arrow Industries, for the amount of $140,000.
This price is a 14% increase over last year's price. The cost to
the city (including sales tax) is $5.04 per 50 bag roll. The
administration recommended award of the contract to the low
bidder and to increase the cost of garbage bags from $4.50 to
$5.00.
Councilman Pruett moved for adoption of the ordinance.

City Income Tax
Mayor Hutto stated that he had spoken with Representative
Richardson, who is supporting a bill that would prohibit cities
form levying income tax on individuals or corporations. Mayor
Hutto favors adoption of this bill and asked council if there
were any objections to putting an item on the next agenda expres-
sing support of that bill. He felt with the passage of this bill
future councils would not be at liberty to impose an income tax
on the citizens of Baytown.
Council had no objections. There will be an item in this
regard on the next council agenda.

Opposition to 50% Pay Increase For Federal Employees
Councilman Simmons stated that he had received several calls
from citizens who are upset about the proposed 50% pay increase
for federal employees. Therefore, he suggested that the adminis-
tration forward a letter to our congressmen, state senators, and
the Speaker of the House expressing council's strong opposition
to a 50% pay increase for federal employees and that an item be
placed on the next council agenda for adoption of a resolution to
follow that letter.
Councilman Fuller pointed out that the increase itself was
not a problem. The problem was the size of the increase.
Mayor Hutto noted that the Speaker of the House, Jim Wright,
should be the one to get the letter.
Councilman Philips pointed out if the matter is not voted on
then it will be automatically approved.
City Manager's Report
Underground Fuel Tanks - Recently, the federal government
has established guidelines for the monitoring of underground
storage tanks to reduce infiltration of the underground water
supply. Some of the standards will require corrosion protection
to the tanks, installation of a leak protection system, installa-
tion of spill overflow prevention equipment, and monthly monitor-
ing and reporting procedures. One of the biggest problems with
the legislation is that it will require the city to demonstrate
financial responsibility to clean up in the event of a spill.
The National League of Cities has argued that cities face
emergencies all the time. Cities have the authority to borrow,
tax and issue bonds to pay for emergencies. EPA has denied that
request even though they have allowed states to do so. The
requirement is that tank owners must obtain $500,000 worth of
insurance per occurrence or an aggregate of $1,000,000 for 1 -100
tanks. EPA has outlined several ways to do this - pollution
liability insurance, trust funds, risk retention groups and self
insurance. Of these, self- insurance appears to be the best
option; however, EPA has not devised the financial tests for
self- insurance at this time. The test is scheduled to be in
place in 18 months. We will need to be in compliance within 24
months.
990112 -17
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Jan. 12, 1999
The city owns seven tanks, but one of these is empty and
will be removed. Another tank is old and plans are to remove it.
' There is a timetable for compliance under different aspects of
the law. The administration will be reporting from time to time
on what is required.
East Grand Parkway Committee - The committee has selected a
consultant to perform a study that is necessary to get FAA
approval. The engineering firm selected is Hoyle, Tanner and
Associations, which firm is associated with Busch, Hutchison &
Associates.
Community Development - A ten year report has been prepared
on Community Development activities. The report lists amounts of
money allocated to Baytown, and in general terms, how those funds
have been expended. Council was furnished with a copy of the
report.
No Smoking Ordinance - At a recent council meeting, council
was asked to consider a no- smoking ordinance. Randy Strong, City
Attorney, stated that state law already makes it illegal to smoke
in a number of areas. Also, the statute empowers governmental
entities to prohibit smoking within their jurisdictions. To
date, some 30 to 40 cities throughout Texas have adopted no-
smoking ordinances. The legal staff has reviewed ordinances from
Houston and Austin which prohibit smoking in all public places.
Public places are defined broadly and smoking is defined as even
carrying lighted tobacco products. These ordinances provide that
the owner of an establishment may designate an area as a smoking
area. The size of the smoking area is based on the number of
smokers who usually frequent that area. There are exceptions in
both ordinances that allow nightclubs, bars, restaurant lounges
that are separate from dining areas to be designated as smoking
areas. Both ordinances require private employers to adopt
smoking policies which would address concerns of non - smokers, as
well as smokers within their premises.
Council mentioned that the legislature is presently in
'" session and will be looking at establishing smoking regulations;
therefore, the city attorney suggested that perhaps council would
want to delay action to check out pending legislation.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - Jan. 12, 1989
Fireworks Possession - The present ordinance does not
prohibit possession of fireworks. It makes it illegal to dis-
charge fireworks within the city limits. Recently, the adminis-
tration has received a couple of calls from citizens suggesting
adoption of a possession ordinance to help discourage fireworks
stands from setting up just outside the city limits. The city
manager informed council that from December 23 through January 2,
the Police Department received 72 calls about fireworks being
discharged.
In response to an inquiry from council, the Police Chief
stated that no citations were issued on these calls because when
the police arrive on the scene no one discharges fireworks.
Council felt that it would be unrealistic to attempt to
enforce a possession ordinance. Mayor Hutto suggested that the
state should have a prohibition against selling fireworks or
provide a method by which cities could control the sale of fire-
works in the extra - territorial jurisdiction.
Grassroots Involvement Program - Texas Municipal League has
developed a questionaire involving grassroots involvement and has
requested that council complete the questionaire.
Texas Municipal League Legislative Briefing - A legislative
briefing and luncheon has been scheduled by Texas Municipal
League to be held in Austin on February 13.
City Hall Annex Site - The Texas Historical Commission has
approved a medallion for the city hall annex site. Dedication
ceremonies are set for 3:00 p.m. on January 29.
Sidewalk Construction - The project is about 10% complete.
Those sidewalks in the vicinity of Lee High School have been
completed, and the contractor is working in front of Sterling
High School.
Sliplining - The sliplining project is about 60% complete.
