Consider Proposed Ordinance Amending the Contract for Development of Bayland Park
Hotel and Marina between the City of Baytown and Miller Brown Development
Company, Inc.
The contract for the development of Bayland Park Hotel and Marina was
executed on November 10, 1992. This proposed ordinance allows the City to execute
an amendment to the original contract. The amendment will allow the developer to
assign all of its rights and obligations for marina development to Busch Hutchison and
Associates, Inc. and for hotel development to Privatization for America, Inc. (PFA).
Currently, the design phase on all dredging, bulkhead, breakwater, and floating docks
is complete, and construction is in progress on all three. Busch Hutchison has
prepared the plans and specifications for the infrastructure project; therefore, the only
remaining work to be performed by Busch Hutchison is the design and engineering for
public rest rooms and retail buildings. By assigning the remaining engineering and
architectural work on the marina to Busch Hutchison and by performing a portion of
the work with City staff, there is an estimated cost savings of approximately One
Hundred Forty -Four Thousand and No /100 Dollars (5144,000.00).
Approval of the amendment will provide Privatization for America (PFA) with a
180 -day exclusive right -to -work agreement with the staff and council to formulate a
specific funding formula and to assess both the positive and negative aspects of the
project. The agreement does not commit the City nor PFA to the project. PFA is
considered to be one of the nation's leading privatization advisors to governments and
universities. Council Member DonCarlos moved for adoption of the ordinance.
Council Member Escontrias seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council Members Benavides, Byford,
Escontrias, DonCarlos, and Pruett
Mayor Alfaro
Nays: None
ORDINANCE NO. 7071

AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BAYLAND

940825 -3
Minutes of the Regular Session - August 25, 1994
Consider Proposed Ordinance Approving Water Supply Contract Between the City of
Houston and Baytown Area Water Authority
Along with the City Manager, City of Baytown staff members, Ignacio Ramirez,
Monte Mercer, and Herb Thomas, have been working on this contract proposal for
over one year. The proposed contract will change the current contract term from
2006 to December 31, 2020. The contract sets the maximum amount of raw water
to be delivered at 11.9 mgd and eliminates the take or pay provisions of the current
contract. Under the existing contract, BAWA is paying for 13 mgd and would have
to pay for 16 mgd starting January 1, 1996, whether we use that amount or not.
(BAWA is currently using approximately 11.0 mgd.) This contract provides for a five
percent (5 %) penalty on the amount of water taken over ten percent (10 %) of the
maximum mgd of 11.9 or amounts over 13.09 mgd. This is a significant change from
the existing contract which penalizes ten percent (10 %) on the entire amount for the
month in which too much is taken, not just the amount over the maximum. In July
1992, BAWA was penalized Eleven Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($11,000.00.) If
BAWA were operating under the current contract, the penalty would have cost One
Hundred Ninety -Seven and No /100 Dollars ($197.00.)
The proposed contract will legitimize BAWA's sale of water north of IH -10. The
current contract prohibits the sale of water north of IH -10, but BAWA has done so
under a gentlemen's agreement with the San Jacinto River Authority. Another
important provision of this contract is BAWA must implement a water conservation
plan to be approved by TNRCC. Customers of BAWA will also be required to adopt
conservation plans. The administration recommended approval of the ordinance.
Council Member Escontrias moved for adoption of the ordinance. Council Member
Byford seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council Members Benavides, Byford,
Escontrias, DonCarlos, and Pruett
Mayor Alfaro
Nays: None
ORDINANCE NO. 7072

Minutes of the Regular Session - August 25, 1994
Hold Public Hearing on Basic Cable Rates Submitted by TCI Cablevision of Texas, Inc.
(TCI) at 6:45 p.m.
Mayor Alf aro called the public hearing on the basic cable rates submitted by TCI
Cablevision of Texas, Inc. to order at 6:45 p.m. He informed those present in the
audience desiring to speak to sign the register in the lobby. This register would
provide the speaking order for the hearing.
He then called upon 0. C. Oliver, General Manager for TCI Cablevision, to
summarize the company's basic cable rate submission. Mr. Oliver stated that he had
been general manager in this area for about one and one -half years. Mr. Oliver
explained that the FCC required basic rate implementation by June 1993 which was
done under Form 393. Later, the ruling was made to utilize Form 1200. Therefore,
393 rates are no longer in effect, 1200 rates are in effect. Customers have received
notice for implementation of Form 1200 rates. The administration has received a
complete package which outlines the rate process step by step. The company utilizes
what is called a "We Care Program" to receive input from its customers. The
responses to the "We Care" cards are kept on file for public record. There are nine
(9) component differences between rates under Form 1200 and Form 393. The
company uses a formula to calculate these rates. Mr. Oliver pointed out that between
Form 393 and Form 1200 rates, the basic rates have decreased. He handed out the
new rate schedule to council.
The City Manager explained that staff members had attended a meeting with
TCI to obtain a general explanation of the basic rates. The staff has heard from
Pearland, Friendswood, and other cities that are interested in retaining Reed -Stowe
Co., Inc. to represent them in any kind of rate case. One area of concern is, if rates
are set too high, the City will be required to refund franchise fees for that period.
After the city staff is able to meet with TCI and Star, the administration requested the
option of deciding whether to retain Reed - Stowe. The cost to Baytown for the group
to retain Reed -Stowe is estimated to be Two Thousand Five Hundred and No /100
Dollars ($2,500.00); individually, it is estimated to be Four Thousand Five Hundred
and No /100 Dollars ($4,500.00.) The City Manager requested that option because
there may be a lot of expertise required. Once base rates are established, in the
future, only adjustments will be made to the base rate. Council voiced no objections
concerning retaining Reed -Stowe based on the staff's assessment of the situation.
The staff will be in touch with Mr. Oliver to arrange a meeting. There being no
individuals desiring to speak, Mayor Alfaro closed the public hearing.
Consider Proposed Ordinance Amending Chapter 10, "Emergency Medical Service,"
of the Code of Ordinances, Section 10 -3(a), "Fees"
Medicare has changed the criteria for reimbursement. Under the new Medicare
guidelines, the billable code includes oxygen and the delivery device together;
940825 -5
Minutes of the Regular Session - August 25, 1994
therefore, the recommendation is to combine the charges to Twenty and No /100
Dollars ($20.00) under oxygen.
Currently, to administer an EKG or endotracheal intubation, there is a separate
charge of Twenty -Five and No /100 Dollars ($25.00) each. These charges no longer
meet the Medicare criteria for reimbursement. Therefore, in order to recoup expenses
which can no longer be charged, the recommendation is to increase the base rate from
One Hundred Fifty and No /100 Dollars ($150.00) to One Hundred Sixty and No /100
Dollars ($160.00.)
The following MICU /EMS providers were contacted to compare their base rate
charges:
Baytown
$150.00
Allyn /Stat -Care (Navarre)
345.00
La Porte
150.00
Beaumont
195.00
North Channel
225.00
Victoria
245.00
Houston
285.00
Baytown is still well below others. The administration recommended approval of the
ordinance. Council Member Byford moved for adoption of the ordinance. Council
Member Benavides seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council Members Benavides, Byford,
Escontrias, DonCarlos, and Pruett
Mayor Alfaro
Nays: None
ORDINANCE NO. 7073

PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF.
Hold Public Hearing on Basic Cable Rates Submitted by Star Cable Company (Star
Cable) at 7 :00 p.m.
Mayor Alfaro called a public hearing on basic cable rates submitted by Star
Cable Company to order at 7:00 p.m. He informed those present desiring to speak
to sign the register in the lobby.
940825 -6
Minutes of the Regular Session - August 25, 1994
John Brown, President and General Manager for Star Cable, addressed council.
Mr. Brown stated that there are two ways to determine what rates should be. One
is the bench -mark method or cost - per - channel method while the other is cost of
service. Those analysis have been submitted to the City of Baytown as prescribed by
FCC. Star Cable usually serves in rural areas and is the provider of service north of
the city in Chambers County. Star Cable chose cost of service analysis as opposed
to the bench -mark method, because they are a rural cable company. Most cable
companies have seventy -two (72) homes per mile, while Star Cable has twenty -seven
(27) homes per mile. However, the cost is the same to construct one mile of cable
for both companies. Star has greater costs because of low density.
Arrangements have been made for the chief operating officer and chief
accountant to meet with city staff members concerning the requested basic rate. Star
Cable serves from Cedar Bayou north to IH -10 along Highway 146. With regard to
customer service input, Mr. Brown stated that every year the company sends out
questionnaires requesting a reply from all customers. The replies are based on a scale
of one to five with five being the highest. Last year the company received a rating
of 4.02; this year 4.24. Mr. Brown verified that when the company sends out the
questionnaire, it is customary to offer a chance to win one years free service for
response within a given period of time. This concluded Mr. Brown's presentation.
Since no one had signed the register to speak, Mayor Alf aro closed the public hearing.
Hold Public Hearing on Proposed 1994 -95 City of Baytown Budget for October 1,
1994, Through September 30, 1995, at 7:10 p.m.
Mayor Alfaro called to order the public hearing on the proposed 1994 -95 City
of Baytown budget for October 1, 1994, through September 30, 1995. He reminded
those in attendance desiring to speak to sign the register in the lobby. He then
requested that City Manager Bobby Rountree summarize the proposed City of
Baytown budget for 1994 -95.
Several work sessions have been held on the proposed budget. A copy of the
proposed budget is on file in the office of the City Clerk, as well as Sterling Municipal
Library, and may be reviewed during normal office hours. The budget document
includes an estimate of anticipated revenues and expenditures for operating
departments, along with the principal and interest requirements for general obligation
bonds, revenue bonds, and certificates of obligation. The proposed budget is based
on expenditures of Forty -Seven Million Twenty -Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty and
No /100 Dollars ($47,024,560.00) an increase of One Million Seven Hundred Fifty -
Seven Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty -Nine and No /100 Dollars ($1,757,829.00) or
Three and Seven - Tenths Percent (3.7 %) from the authorized level of 1993 -94. The
proposed 1994 -95 budget will not require a tax increase nor an increase in solid waste
fees. It will require an increase in water and sewer fees due largely to the sale of
bonds for mandated capital improvements to our sewer infrastructure. The proposed
budget includes a four percent (4 %) increase for all full time employees. The changes
in the employee and retiree health benefits last year has had a positive impact;
940825 -7
Minutes of the Regular Session - August 25, 1994
therefore, changes will not be necessary this year. The proposed budget also
recommends increasing the number of holidays for the employees from eight (8) to
nine (9). There have been nine (9) employee positions eliminated due to
reorganization of various departments.
The City of Baytown budget is composed of five (5) different funds. The
General Fund, the largest fund, is supported by sales taxes, property taxes, industrial
taxes, fees, and charges. It funds the general operation departments such as Fire,
Police, EMS, Parks and Recreation, Library, etc. It funds all departments other than
those who have their own fund. The General Fund is budgeted at Twenty -Four Million
Nine Hundred Fifty -Four Thousand Five Hundred Fifty -Two and No /100 Dollars
($24,954,552.00.)
The General Debt Service Fund is used for the payment of general long -term
debt of principal and interest on bonds sold. It is funded from a portion of the
property taxes. The General Debt Service Fund totals Four Million Nine Hundred
Thirty -Six Thousand Forty -Three and No /100 Dollars ($4,936,043.00.)
The Water and Sewer Fund is supported by water and sewer fees. It funds the
Water and Sewer departments, as well as the water and sewer debt service funds.
The Water and Sewer Fund totals Thirteen Million Six Hundred Thirty -Three Thousand
Seven Hundred Fifty -Eight and No /100 Dollars ($13,633,758.00.)
The Solid Waste Fund is supported by sanitation fees and funds the Sanitation
Department including the contract with BFI. Funding for the Solid Waste is Two
Million Four Hundred Sixteen Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy -Seven and No /100
Dollars ($2,416,977.00.)
The Garage Fund is funded through funds budgeted in each department. Its
primary purpose is vehicle maintenance. The Garage Fund is budgeted at One Million
Eighty -Three Thousand Two Hundred Thirty and No /100 Dollars ($1,083,230.00) for
a total of Forty -Seven Million Twenty -Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty and No /100
Dollars ($47,024,560.00.)
Over fifty -two percent (52 %) of the General Fund goes toward Public Safety.
The police package will provide an effective means of reducing gang activity and
violent crime; reducing over all crime, and promoting community policing. The crime
deterrence program is based on overtime funding to accomplish specific tasks. These
programs include a warrant program targeting those who fail to appear on Class "C"
misdemeanor charges, a training program that enables patrol strengths to remain
static, a traffic enforcement program designed to enhance traffic safety and reduce
accidents, and a mobile substation program designed to promote the community
policing concept. The total for these programs is approximately One Hundred Three
Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($103,000.00.)
In order to reduce the number of hours that officers are required to be outside
of Baytown processing prisoners, an automatic fingerprint information system
940825 -8
Minutes of the Regular Session - August 25, 1994
(A.F.I.S.) is included in the proposed budget at a cost of Eighty -Five Thousand and
No /100 Dollars ($85,000.00). Any reduction in the out of town time will enhance
preventive patrol and reduce police response time. Before being charged in the
District Attorney's Office, every prisoner must be finger printed on the A.F.I.S. at the
Harris County Substation in Wallisville. Round trip time for this process is a minimum
of one hour. From January 1, 1994, to March 31, 1994, Baytown filed four hundred
twelve (412) cases in the District Attorney's Office. This averages Thirty -One
Thousand One Hundred Twelve and No /100 Dollars ($31,112.00) per year in salary
and benefits not including transportation costs or vehicle maintenance.
The proposed budget includes Thirty Thousand and No /100 Dollars
($30,000.00) to implement a Seventh Grade Dare Program which will complement the
existing Fifth Grade Dare Program. Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School
District has agreed to fund fifty percent (50 %) of the program.
The proposed budget includes One Hundred Forty Thousand and No /100 Dollars
($140,000.00) to replace nine (9) police vehicles and One Hundred Thirteen Thousand
Six Hundred Sixty -Seven and No /100 Dollars ($113,667.00) for the purchase of an
IBM Risk System for the Police Department and Municipal Court to serve as a backup
computer system. The Police Department is a twenty -four (24) hour operation relying
totally on the computer for all information and operations. Other items have been
included for the Fire Department and EMS, but these are the major items.
Being proposed for 1994 -95 bond sale is Two Million Four Hundred Thirty -Five
Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($2,435,000.00) in general obligation bonds. When
the citizens were considering the bond proposal, they were told that One Cent per
year increase would be needed to fund the bonds. However, since that time, only
Three Cents has been required rather than the Six Cents first anticipated. Plans are
to sell Three Million Eight Hundred Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($3,800,000.00) in
sewer revenue bonds for the Highway 146 Sanitary Sewer System, sliplining for
infiltration and the diversion project from Central to West District. There are no plans
to sell water revenue bonds.
Funding requirements include a water increase of Fifteen Cents per one
thousand (1,000) gallons taking the rate from Two and 08/100 Dollars ($2.08) to
Two and 23/100 Dollars ($2.23) and a sewer increase of Seventeen Cents per one
thousand (1,000) gallons taking the rate from One and 79/100 Dollars ($1.79) to One
and 96/100 Dollars ($1.96). A homeowner with an average of seven thousand
(7,000) gallons water and sewer usage can expect an increase in cost of
approximately One and 60/100 Dollars ($1.60) per month. No tax rate increase is
included nor any increase in fees.
The City Manager ended his presentation by thanking the Finance Department
staff, the administrative directors, the department directors, and division heads for
their efforts in preparation of the budget. Also, he thanked the city employees who
continue to provide quality services during difficult economic times. Since no one had
registered to speak, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
940825 -9
Minutes of the Regular Session - August 25, 1994
Consent Agenda:
Council considered the consent agenda as follows:
a. Proposed Ordinance No. 940825 -4 awards the annual electrical services
contract to Baytown Electric Company in the amount of $22,400.
Invitations to bid were mailed to fourteen suppliers. We received four
bids and two no bids. This annual contract is used by all departments
for miscellaneous electrical work.
Last year was the first year for an electrical services contract. Based on
last year's usage, cost estimates were increased, and this year the
contract was divided into two sections to allow companies without
bucket trucks capable of serving 60' poles to bid. Each section could be
awarded to a different company; however, Baytown Electric Company
is the low bidder meeting all specifications for both sections.
We recommend approval.
b. Proposed Ordinance No. 940825 -5 awards the annual janitorial services
contract to Quality Janitorial, Inc. in the amount of $39,600. Invitations
to bid were mailed to seventeen suppliers. We received five bids and
three no bids. This annual contract is used by seven individual
departments for cleaning services. Quality Janitorial was the low bidder
meeting all specifications for each item.
We recommend approval.
C. Proposed Ordinance No. 940825 -6 awards the purchase of uninterrupted
power supply from H -GAC in the amount of $25,280. The UPS will
provide uninterrupted power to all sensitive electronic equipment for the
city -wide radio systems and computer equipment operated within the
Communications Department (Dispatch). The UPS will protect the radio
system, logging recorder, and computers from power outages, surges,
and other fluctuations.
We recommend approval.
940825 -10
Minutes of the Regular Session - August 25, 1994
d. Proposed Ordinance No. 940825 -7 authorizes a refund of 1993 taxes in
the amount of $967.28 for Matherne's Inc. This refund is a result of
HCAD putting this account on the tax roll in error. There were no assets
at this location, 312 Bob Smith Road, in the name of Matherne's.
We recommend approval.
e. Proposed Ordinance No. 940825 -8 authorizes a refund of 1993 taxes in
the amount of $638.32 for Julia Howard Curtis. This refund is a result
of the over 65 exemption and a general homestead exemption not being
applied by HCAD.
We recommend approval.
f. Proposed Ordinance No. 940825 -9 approves the final payment for the
Craigmont Sanitary Sewer Sliplining Project - Phase II to Horseshoe
Construction in the amount of $31,174.31. The original contract
amount was $594,500 with one change order that resulted in no amount
of dollars spent. The total amount of final contract is $604,117.50, less
previous payments of $572,943.19, resulting in an overrun of
$9,617.50. We have inspected the work and find this project complete
and recommend award of final payment.
We recommend approval.
g. Proposed Ordinance No. 940825 -10 amends Ordinance No. 6019 to
correct the Assessment Roll for Baker Road/Roll ingbrook Connection
Boulevard. After a public hearing on October 10, 1991, City Council
adopted Ordinance No. 6019, levying assessments against the property
abutting Rollingbrook /Baker Connection Boulevard and the owners of
said property for the payment of a part of the cost of improving portions
of that street. On July 22, 1993, the project was formally accepted by
City Council and the property owners were billed for the first payment.
Recently, the property owners were billed for the second annual
payment. Emmett 0. Hutto, Trustee for Parcel No. 14, shown on the
assessment roll as a 6.5 + acres residual of a 60 acre tract, contacted
the City Clerk concerning incorrect acreage shown on the assessment
roll. In March, 1993, HCAD corrected the tax roll to reflect ownership by
Emmett 0. Hutto, Trustee of 3.2846 acres, with Harris County Flood
Control owning the remainder of the tract. The assessment has been
revised to reflect the change in acreage for a total assessment of
$17,884.63.
We recommend approval.
