Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Renewal of the Annual Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Service Contract The proposed ordinance authorizes the renewal of the annual solid waste collection and disposal service contract for the amount of $505,596. This contract was originally awarded from April 1, 1991 to March 31, 1992 and included six additional one year renewal periods, each year renewable upon the City of Baytown's approval and the contractor's desire to renew. Browning- Ferris Industries would like to exercise their option to renew the contract for solid waste collection and disposal. Upon renewal, this contract shall be effective from April 1, 1993 to March 31, 1994. BFI has the option to renew this contract for four remaining additional one year periods upon approval from the City of ' Baytown. 9 930325 -4 Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993 An increase is in line with the landfill increase based on the CPI -U (Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers) and passed on to the city. The cost per unit for collection and disposal will increase from $6.95 to $7.00. BFI collects 6,019 units per month, resulting in a total increase per month of $1,045. The administration recommended approval of the ordinance. Council member Byford moved for adoption of the ordinance. Council member Swofford seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Benavides, Byford, Swofford, Alfaro, DonCarlos and Pruett Mayor Credille Nays: None Ordinance No. 6571 AN ORDINANCE RENEWING THE CONTRACT OF BROWNING FERRIS INDUSTRIES FOR THE ANNUAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZING PAYMENT BY THE CITY OF BAYTOWN OF THE SUM OF FIVE HUNDRED FIVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED NINETY -SIX AND NO /100 DOLLARS ($505,596.00); MAKING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. Consider Proposed Ordinance, Authorizing Renewal of the Sanitary Landfill Contract. The proposed ordinance authorizes renewal of the sanitary landfill contract for the amount of $290,604. This contract was originally awarded from April 1 1986 to March 31, 1987, and amended to expire on March 31, 1995. Compensation shall be adjusted annually based on the CPI -U for February each year. The CPI -U for February 1993 is 143.1, which is 3.2% over last year. The cost of loose solid waste will increase from $4.28 per cubic yard to $4.42 per cubic yard. The city disposes of approximately 13,200 cubic yards of loose solid waste per year. The cost this year for loose solid waste will be $58,344. The cost of compacted solid waste will increase from $4.68 per cubic yard to $4.82 per cubic yard. The city disposes of approximately 48,000 cubic yards of compacted solid waste per year. The cost this year for compacted solid waste will be $231,360. The cost for sewer sludge will increase from $7.27 per cubic yard to $7.50 per cubic yard. The city disposes of approximately 120 cubic yards of sludge per year. The cost this year for sewage sludge will be $900.00. 930325 -5 i Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993 Herb Thomas, Director of Public Works, explained that Public Works plans to participate with Champion International Corporation in placing drop off containers in Baytown to collect newspapers and magazines. They have a need for these newsprint fibers for their new de- inking plant soon to be in production. Start up of the program will involve placement of two containers in Baytown, one at the Gray Sports Complex and one at the fire station located on Bayway Drive near Baker Road. The attractive compartmentalized containers will each hold approximately two tons of magazines and eight tons of newspapers. Based on their experience in similar locations, Champion feels that each container would be full and ready for exchange each week. Considering the above estimate of volume collected, the following estimated cost and revenue apply as of March 1993. COST PER CONTAINER Champion Collection Fee $42.50 per hour times 3 hours $ 127.50 REVENUE PER CONTAINER - SALE OF FIBERS TO CHAMPION 2 Tons of Magazines at $12.50 Per Ton $ 25.00 8 Tons of Newspaper at $20.00 Per Ton 160.00 Grand Total $185.00 One container with ten tons of paper recycled will reduce the landfill fees $150.00, further enhancing the cost /revenue comparison. Considering that approximately 13% of all materials landfilled are newsprint, this program would be instrumental in the city's efforts to reduce cost and protect the environment. For the program to work it must be well publicized and the containers must be placed in areas of high exposure. The container areas must be kept neat and clean. Materials other than newsprint placed in the containers will reduce the value and therefore the revenue received by the city. Our plan is to have solid waste personnel inspect the site and the container each day, Monday through Friday, to control housekeeping and the quality of the material collected. The two container plan for Baytown can be expanded to additional units if positive results are obtained. Council was very interested in the project, and Council member DonCarlos suggested that expansion of the program should include an area that would be more centralized. 930325 -7 Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993 Consider Proposed Resolution, Establishing Criteria for Installation of Street Lights The Growth Management and Development Advisory Commission is recommending that council adopt criteria for installation of street lights. The city budget allocates $50,000 for installation of new street lights. These criteria are to be used only for installation of new street lights using city funds and will not alter or affect city requirements for new developments. The first part of Attachment A to the resolution provides information regarding minimum site limiting considerations that are to be applied to all sites for which installation will be requested. If a site does not meet the second part of the criteria listed in Attachment A, an installation at that site may not be possible even if the site is given a high priority ranking under the first part. Upon approval by council the staff will review and prioritize the existing requests. They will also work with Houston Lighting & Power and the Police Department to help identify the first two priorities of the criteria. Those are: (1) all major street intersections and, (2) high persistent crime problems which are documented by the Police Department and which could possible be mitigated by installation of a street light. The administration recommended approval of the resolution. Council member Swofford moved for adoption of the resolution. Council member Byford seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Benavides, Byford, Swofford, Alfaro, DonCarlos and Pruett Mayor Credille Nays: None Resolution No. 1178 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, ESTABLISHING CRITERIA FOR INSTALLATION OF STREET LIGHTS; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. 930325 -8 Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993 Consider Increasing the Ceiling on Community Development Funds for Housing Rehabilitation Projects The current $18,000 ceiling was established by council in 1989. The cost of materials and labor have been rising steadily and the housing rehabilitation project grant limits have remained at $18,000. The HUD representative has recommended increasing the ceiling to $25,000 but the administration is recommending increasing the ceiling to $21,000. The increased amount will allow the city to continue the rehabilitation projects at a similar level. If the limits are not increased, reduction of the amount of rehabilitation being performed will be necessary. The increased level may also encourage other contractors to become involved in the program. An average of 18 homes are rehabilitated annually. Council member Pruett moved to authorize increasing the ceiling on Community Development funds for housing rehabilitation projects from $18,000 to $21,000. Council member DonCarlos seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Benavides, Byford, Swofford, Alfaro, DonCarlos and Pruett Mayor Credille Nays: None Consider Approval of Plans and Specifications for Installation of Water Lines on West Bay Road and F.M. 565 and Authorize Advertisement for Bids Busch, Hutchison & Associates has completed plans and specifications for the installation of a water line along West Bay Road to serve Miles, Inc. with potable water. The project will begin at the intersection of Highway 146 and F.M. 565 where a 12" water line will be installed approximately 1,100 feet to the city limit line on F.M. 565. The cost of this line will be borne by the City as part of the services provided to the newly annexed portion of Baytown in Chambers County. The estimated cost is $39,000. The line to Miles will begin at the intersection of F.M. 565 and West Bay Road, and extend approximately 4,800 feet southward to the plant. Miles, Inc. has agreed to pay the cost of an eight inch line to serve their needs. The estimated cost is $85,000. F9 930325 -9 Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993 We have requested the engineer to take alternate bids to oversize the eight inch line to a twelve inch line. The additional cost is estimated to be approximately $40,000. If we choose to oversize this line, the additional cost would be borne by the City. Council member Swofford moved to approve the plans and specifications and to authorize the administration to advertise for bids. Council member Pruett seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Benavides, Byford, Swofford, Alfaro, DonCarlos and Pruett Mayor Credille Nays: None Consent Agenda: Council removed Item a, Consider Proposed Ordinance, amending the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 2, "Administration," Division 5, "Community Development Advisory Committee," Subsection (c). Council had three versions of the ordinance for consideration. Version 6 of the ordinance would provide for two year terms. Versions 6a of the ordinance would provide for two years terms with the provision that a member may not be appointed to a third term until such time as four years have passed since the expiration of said member's second term. Version 6b would provide for two year terms with the provision that a member may not be appointed to a third term until such time as two years have passed since the expiration of said member's second term. Council member Pruett moved for adoption of version 6a. Council member DonCarlos seconded the motion. Council member Alfaro indicated that he would prefer the version of the ordinance providing that a member may not be appointed to a third term until such time as two years have passed since the expiration of said member's second term. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Benavides, Byford, DonCarlos and Pruett Mayor Credille Nays: Council members Swofford and Alfaro W 930325 -10 Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993 Ordinance No. 6573 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2, "ADMINISTRATION," ARTICLE II, "BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS," DIVISION 5, "COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, "SECTION 2 -59. COMMITTEE- CREATION, MEMBERSHIP, APPOINTMENT," OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS; PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. Consent Agenda - Continued The administration requested that Item f, awarding annual safety equipment contract be removed from consideration. Council considered the Consent Agenda Items b through m as follows: b. Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -7 amends Ordinance No. 6449 related to length of terms for members of the Baytown Area Community Long - Range Planning Commission. On November 23, 1992 Ordinance No. 6449 was adopted. Section 2 -65 of the ordinance states that after the initial terms, all further "appointments shall be for three year terms. Eight of the initial terms were for four year terms, while seven were for three year terms. Thus, an inconsistency in the initial terms and subsequent terms exist. Therefore, the proposed ordinance will change the existing wording to provide that subsequent terms shall be for four year terms instead of the three year terms. We recommend approval. C. Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -8 authorizes payment in the amount of $9,092 to the Texas Water Commission for annual wastewater quality assessment fees. The Wastewater WQ Assessment Fees are imposed on each permittee holding a permit under the Texas Water Code according to Senate Bill 818, which was passed by the Texas Legislature in the 1991 regular session, to perform water quality assessment on each river basin. Commission rules (TAC, Sections 320.21 - 320.22) were adopted to provide an equitable funding procedure. The fee is assessed on the basis of final flow and traditional pollutant limits. Flow calculations are based on the Daily Average Flow Limits in the permit. 930325 -11 Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993 The list of assessment fees is as follows: PLANTS AMOUNT Central District $4,756.00 East District 2,900.00 West District 946.00 Pinehurst 290.00 Lincoln Cedars 200.00 TOTAL $9,092.00 We recommend approval. d. Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -9 authorizes a refund of taxes in the amount of $1,932.16 for Thompkins Green Apartments. Thompkins Green Apartments has received a settlement of a lawsuit against HCAD which decreased their value and created this refund. Our Tax Office approves this refund. We recommend approval. e. Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -10 awards the annual service awards contract as follows: Section 1,II, & III Ray Branch & Assoc. $3,166.80 Section IV L & L Engraving 637.00 TOTAL $3,803.80 These awards are presented to retirees and employees at the annual City Employees Picnic. Invitations to bid were mailed to eight suppliers and we received three bids and one no bid. We recommend approval. 930325 -12 Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993 g. Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -12 awards the bid for a computer fileserver and network system to Fortune Systems for the amount of $7,500. This system will be used in the Planning Department. Invitations to bid were mailed to ten suppliers and we received two bids. This will connect all their personal computers and printers and allow all users to share software. We recommend approval. h. Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -13, awards a sole source purchase of Versaterm Systems Lexicon software for the Police department from Universal Computer Technologies, Inc. in the amount of $5,900 for the Police Department. This software is used by data processing personnel to write programs and enhance system capabilities. The software provides a dictionary of computer applications available for police use. We recommend approval. i. Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -14 authorizes payment in the amount of $9,917 for a maintenance agreement on sole source basis for Police and Municipal Court software to Universal Computer Technologies, Inc. This annual maintenance and support contract for the Police Department and Municipal Court covers the Police MiniCAD system, System Records, Police Versonnel (Personnel), and the Court Case Management system. We recommend approval. j. Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -15 awards a bid for a computer networking system for the Police Substation to Kent Electronics for the amount of $30,728.50. This is the second low bidder meeting specifications. The low bidder, Phoenix Data Systems, does not meet specifications. They quoted a bridge instead of a bridge /router. Invitations to bid were mailed to ten suppliers and we received four bids. We recommend approval. 930325 -13 Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993 k. Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -16 designates a two -way stop at the following intersections: Humble Street at its intersection with Whiting Street; Republic Street at its intersection with Whiting Street; and American Street at its intersection with Whiting Street. This is a recommendation from the Growth Management and Development Advisory Commission. When the portions of the subject streets were transferred to Lee College, the west side of the subject intersections became driveways for traffic exiting from the college. As such, the traffic must statutorily yield, but not stop, for traffic on the other streets. However, the college has installed stop signs for traffic exiting these driveways. Thus, the subject intersections are in fact "T- intersections" in which the streets must yield to traffic on Whiting Street. A review of accident records did not indicate a history of accidents. However, the extensive amount of on- street parking along Whiting Street does create a visual obstruction for traffic along the subject streets. We recommend approval. I. Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -17 designates a yield intersection on Rollingwood Circle at its intersection with Rollingwood Drive. This is an recommendation from the Growth Management and Development Advisory Commission. At present, the traffic on Rollingwood Drive must yield, by statute, to traffic on Rollingwood Circle. This is confusing to motorists due to the geometry of the subject roadways. By taking this action, the city will clearly assign the right of way to Rollingwood Drive which is a through street. Approximately four houses are located on Rollingwood Circle. A review of accident records did not indicate a history of accidents. However, the geometric alignment of the subject roadways creates a confusing situation which could result in an accident. We recommend approval. m. Proposed Ordinance No. 930325 -18 accepts the dedication of a utility easement by Bruce T. Clayton, Gary E. Bailey and John Rowland. A 12' utility easement is being dedicated along the west side of this property. A plat showing the property is included in your packet. We recommend approval. 930325 -14 Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993 Council member Swofford moved for approval of the Consent Agenda Items b through m with the exception of Item f.

URBAN DESIGN COMPETITION - The City of Baytown Planning Department, in conjunction with the Enterprise Zone Strategy Team, would like to solicit competitive proposals from school of architecture /urban design and planning for a conceptual design of the Texas Avenue Corridor and the West Baytown areas. The entries will emphasize historical character, as well as suggest a new identity. We anticipate students from the various universities forming teams to compete. The entries will be judged and the City of Baytown will purchase the first, second and third place entries for $1000, $500 and $250 respectively. This activity is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and is being funded as part of our EDA grant. Council had no objections.
