Consider Proposed Ordinance, Establishing the Classifications, Allocating the Number of Positions, and Approving Appointment of One Assistant Chief by the Fire Chief Council had met in a work session prior to the council meeting concerning reorganization of certain areas within the Fire Department as follows: 1. Eliminating six Driver positions whose primary responsibilities are to respond to fires within the County. Fully manned fire companies will respond to County fires which will eliminate the safety hazard of a man responding to fires alone; 2. Reclassification of the Fire Marshal's rank to an Assistant Chief with the added responsibilities of training, safety, communications and maintenance; 3. Elimination of one Captain position in Prevention, and the creation of two Lieutenant positions in Prevention; 4. The creation of one Lieutenant position in Training; 5. Rename /reclassify all four Captains to the title of Battalion Chief with same duties and responsibilities and existing rank as currently titled Captain. 5W 920212 -10 Minutes of the Regular Session - Feb. 13, 1992 The net effect of these changes will be the elimination of four Driver positions (through attrition) . The four retirements on January 31 will result in positions for these four drivers. The elimination of these driver positions will total a savings of $141,600 in personnel costs annually, or a savings of $82,600 for the remainder of the 1991 budget year. A portion of these funds will be used for repair of safety items on equipment, and additional training of personnel as required by law. The most important aspect of the reorganization will be a more effective use of manpower within the department. The recommendation is for Council to establish the classifications listed below and allocate the number within each classification as follows: 1 - Fire Chief appointed by the City Manager 2 - Asst. Fire Chiefs 4 - Battalion Chiefs 19 - Lieutenants 15 - Equipment Operators 30 - Firefighters The administration recommend approval of the ordinance.

The proposed ordinance requires all businesses dealing with new and used tires to store these tires in an enclosed structure or container that prevents the collection and holding of moisture. Tires may be displayed for sale, but must be appropriately stored after the hours of operation in an enclosed structure meeting all building code requirements. Tents and /or tarpaulins will not meet the requirement. The administration recommended approval of the ordinance. Councilman Credille moved for adoption of the ordinance. Councilman Pruett seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Delgado, Hullum, Swofford, Alfaro, Credille and Pruett Mayor Hutto Nays: None Ordinance No. 6151 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 15, "HEALTH AND SANITATION ", OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN BY ADDING ARTICLE V "STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION OF NEW TIRES OR REUSABLE WHOLE USED TIRES ", SECTION 15 -28, "DEFINITIONS AS USED IN THIS ARTICLE ", SECTION 15 -29, "STORAGE OF TIRES ", SECTION 15 -30, "TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL OF TIRES ", "SECTION 15 -31, "AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE "; PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PRESCRIBING A MAXIMUM PENALTY OF TWO THOUSAND AND N01100 ($2,000.00) DOLLARS FOR THE VIOLATION THEREOF; AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. 920212 -12 Minutes of the Regular Session - Feb. 13, 1992 Consider Proposed Ordinance, Amending Chapter 12 "Fire Prevention and Protection," to Regulate Storage of Tires At the time that council reviewed the proposed ordinance, the owner of a tire business was present. He expressed a problem with Item 12 -46 -4 which read as follows: "at least five feet of unobstructed clearance shall be maintained at all times between stored tires and all walls, or all fire barriers required by this Code. This provision shall not apply to tires stored in racks secured to a wall." He felt this requirement to be too stringent since it would require too much space between stored tires and walls. After examining the ordinance further, the tire business owner concurred with the recommendation of the administration that Item No. 4 be deleted since Item No. 3 would take care of the concerns of the Fire Official. The administration recommended adoption of the ordinance as revised with the deletion of Item No. 4. Councilman Alfaro moved for adoption of the revised ordinance. Councilman Credille seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Delgado, Hullum, Swofford, Alfaro, Credille and Pruett Mayor Hutto Nays: None City Manager Rountree complimented Assistant City Attorney Warren Lee, Captains Olive and Davis, and Fire Chief Leiper for their work on these two ordinances.

Presently, there is a 16" force main that pumps water along IH -10 to a discharge point on the San Jacinto River. One option is to build a parallel 20" force main along with substantial upgrades to the effluent pumps at a cost of $705,000 initially and $19,000 annually to operate and maintain the system. 920212 -20 Minutes of the Regular Session - Feb. 13, 1992 Another option to this system would be a direct release into Spring Gully (Slapout Gully) which is located adjacent to the plant site. This would require the treated water to pass between Lakewood Subdivision and Lynchburg. However, no pumping would be required and the release facility would be a very simple, inexpensive structure. The total cost for this option is $10,000. This option would increase flow in Spring Gully 3 to 4 inches. Herb Thomas, Director of Public Works, verified that extensive testing is performed on the effluent from West District and the water meets all standards. The city manager stated that the staff would like to ask Langford Engineering to proceed with their work, utilizing the option of a direct release to Spring Gully, if council had no objections. Council voiced no objections. Community Development Program - HUD representatives reviewed the City of Baytown's Community Development Program. Once again, Baytown's program was given very high marks due to the efforts of Richard Harris, Director of Planning and Traffic and Brent Barnes, Community Development Coordinator. Marina - The City Manager mentioned that the staff is still working with Miller Brown Company in California on the marina, but there is no specific information to report at this time. However, it appears that the company may need additional time as originally discussed. Texas Highway Department (Loop 201 and Spur 330) - The City Manager, Kent Laza, and Fritz Lanham, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee, met with representatives of the Texas Highway Department to address overpasses for Loop 201 and Spur 330. At that meeting the group learned that there has been some changes in how the department rates projects. They tend to feel that the overpasses along Loop 201 will not rate very high because Loop 201 carries 20,000 cars a day, and there are two lane roadways in the Houston area that carry 20,000 cars a day. 920212 -21 Minutes of the Regular Session - Feb. 13, 1992 One of the things emphasized by the state is the Pruett overpass. They felt like if the city dropped this overpass, the project would rate higher because the traffic on Pruett is so low. The emphasis was placed on the fact that Baytown will not only be competing district -wide, but state -wide for the funding. Their suggestion was for the city to close the access point into that subdivision. If that is done, the state will put a turn around at Garth Road. That particular overpass would cost anywhere from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 of the $34,000,000 budgeted for the entire project. The cost would be greater for this overpass because of its close proximity to Garth Road, causing the on and off ramps to be elevated. Currently, the overpass at Texas Avenue and the one at Highway 146 near the bridge are one project and the remainder of the overpasses are in another project. The City Manager expects to receive a letter from the Highway Department concerning the Loop 201 overpasses in the near future. The Decker Drive (Spur 330) project is separate and has been funded. The Highway Department is still in the process of getting right of way for that project. Parks and Recreation Workshop - The Parks and Recreation Department held their annual workshop here this month and 600 to 700 people attended. City of Pasadena Charter Commission - Bobby Rountree, City Manager, has been asked to participate in a discussion with the Charter Commission of Pasadena on Saturday to discuss the city manager form of government. Recycling - The Baytown Recycling Works is open on Tuesdays from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 to 3:00 p.m. Adjourn There being no further business to be transacted, the meeting was adjourned.
