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.

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

ESTABLISHING CRITERIA FOR INSTALLATION OF STREET LIGHTS; AND PROVIDING

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,

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.

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:

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:

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

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.

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.

City Manager's Report
EDWARD BURN MEMORIAL STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - Chief Shaffer has requested permission to submit a grant
under this program. The goals of the program are to identify promising and effective
programs for prevention and controlling of gang drug trafficking and violence.
Selected sites will implement a test comprehensive Gang Prevention and Control
Prototype being developed by the Police Executive Research Forum. No matching
funds are required and the staff feels that the Valdez Program is an excellent candidate
for this grant. The staff will submit an application for $188,000. Council had no
objections.
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.
Council member Alfaro suggested that weighing factors be assigned before
sending out the proposals. Mr. Rountree responded that those factors would be
assigned.
OLD ENGINE 895 - Miles, Inc. and Jim Stallings of ISC, Inc. have developed a
plan to restore the appearance of Old 895. ISC has agreed to provide labor and
materials to replace metal parts. Miles will take care of water and sand blasting, plus
painting, using a highly durable polyurethane coating based on Miles resin. Resources
will also be provided through Miles by CCC Scaffolding, SIPCO, Brown and Root and
DuPont.
David Ondrias, Director of Parks and Recreation and his staff, will continue to

Subdivision continues to progress well. It is about 50% complete.
DRAINAGE CREW - The drainage crew is progressing and will be in the Wooster
area after May.
WOOD CHIPS - Public Works has produced approximately 2,700 tons of wood
chips since March, 1992. We have saved approximately $200,000 per year in landfill
cost by utilizing the chipper.
MASSEY TOMPKINS ROAD IMPROVEMENTS - The city manager commended
Kent Laza, City Engineer, on the development of a letter to be forwarded to residents
along Massey Tompkins Road concerning what they might expect with regard to the
improvement. There will also be a form attached with a self - addressed, stamped
envelop to provide information concerning the residents. Entex will be installing new
gas mains and switching all existing services to it; therefore, it may become necessary
to contact the residents.
Work has begun on the project. Mr. Dykes has secured all the land on the east
end of the project and the fences have been moved.
STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - The contractor is presently preparing the
base repairs on Jones and Eighth.
CURED IN PLACE PIPE CONTRACT - Work has begun on televising and cleaning
of Ward Road and Cedar Bayou sewer lines.

Minutes of the Regular Session - March 25, 1993
WOODCREEK APARTMENTS - Council was provided with a letter explaining
what procedures are being implemented with regard to that apartment complex.
Mayor's Report to the Citizens
Mayor Credille mentioned two events (1) the opening of the Ron McLemore
Police Substation which was made possible through the effort and dedication of many
citizens and businesses in the community, and (2) the Red Cross celebrated its 50th
anniversary, recognizing numerous volunteers. The Mayor commended the citizens
of Baytown for their community spirit.
Adjourn
There being no further business to be discussed, the meeting was adjourned.
