He stated that the hearing was for the purpose of receiving public input with regard to the basic cable rates submitted by Star Cable Company, and everyone desiring to present information at the hearing would be given ample opportunity to do so. However, he encouraged each speaker to be as brief and to the point as possible, noting that the hearing was 941208 -3 Minutes of the Regular Session - December 8, 1994 not an adversarial type proceeding, but an opportunity for all interested persons to be heard on the submitted basic cable rates. He asked that all questions be directed to him, and with the aid of City staff, he would attempt to answer such questions. The Mayor asked if a representative of Star Cable Company was present to summarize its basic cable rate submission. Since no representative of Star Cable Company was present, nor did anyone register to speak, Mayor Alfaro declared the public hearing to be closed. Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 941208 -3, Authorizing a Contract with Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District for a Youth Sports Program For a number of years a group of parents have been working with the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District to get a girls varsity fast pitch team organized. This program will provide the Girls Varsity Fast Pitch Teams from Robert E. Lee and Ross S. Sterling High Schools with Field G at the Gray Sports Complex for games during their first year of play. The Girls Fast Pitch Association supports this program. The administration recommends approval. Council Member Escontrias moved for approval of the ordinance. Council Member Pruett seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Benavides, Byford, Escontrias, Hinds, DonCarlos, and Pruett Mayor Alf aro Nays: None ORDINANCE NO. 7186 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST TO A CONTRACT WITH GOOSE CREEK CONSOLIDATED INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR A YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAM; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 941208 -1, Creating the Baytown Transportation Authority, Describing the Territory to be Included in Such Authority and Containing Findings and Other Provisions Related Thereto The proposed ordinance would create a Baytown Transportation Authority. The board's role would be to investigate more thoroughly the transportation needs, what ,, 941208 -4 Minutes of the Regular Session - December 8, 1994 the tax could be used for and what the tax amount should be. Council has discussed the various items that this one -cent sales tax could be used for. It will be the board's role to develop a budget, develop a program, and call for an election. It is important to remember that if the board, after getting into the study of this, determines that it is not in the best interest of the public or the best interest of the community, they are not obligated to call an election. The administration recommended approval. Council Member Pruett moved for adoption of the ordinance. Council Member DonCarlos seconded the motion. Council Member Benavides moved to table Item 4 to a later date to allow time for a work session, because she had unanswered questions. Council Member Escontrias seconded the motion and stated that he, too, had some unanswered questions. He emphasized that this in no way reflected on the people who were being nominated. He just felt that more clarification work needed to be done. He felt that Council needed to be absolutely clear in its directions to the board in terms of what Council expected as output. Also, he had other concerns and questions that he would like to address. Mayor Alfaro pointed out that State law outlines the board's responsibilities as he had indicated in a letter to Council. Council Member Benavides questioned the diversity of the board. Mayor Alfaro responded that should be discussed under Item 5. Another concern of Council Member Benavides was the timing of an election with zoning already scheduled for a May, 1995 election. Mayor Alfaro felt that Council could communicate that to the board and that the board would take that under consideration. Council Member Escontrias stressed that he was not certain that Council had exhausted and determined that there is a need to satisfy since there had been only one work session held, and at the public hearing, all but one of the persons who spoke were against the proposal. At this time, Mayor Alfaro recessed the discussion on Item 4 to hold a public hearing. Hold public hearing on basic cable rates submitted by TCI Cablevision of Texas., Inc. on FCC Form 1210 at 6:45 p.m. Mayor Alfaro called to order the public hearing concerning the basic cable rates submitted by TO Cablevision of Texas on FCC Form 1210 at 6:45 p.m., and informed 11 those present desiring to speak to register on the list provided in the lobby which would provide the speaking order for the hearing. He stated that the hearing was for 941208 -5 Minutes of the Regular Session - December 8, 1994 the purpose of receiving public input with regard to the basic cable rates submitted by TCI, and everyone desiring to present information at the hearing would be given ample opportunity to do so. However, he encouraged each speaker to be as brief and to the point as possible, noting that the hearing was not an adversarial type proceeding, but an opportunity for all interested persons to be heard on the submitted basic cable rates. He asked that all questions be directed to him, and with the aid of City staff, he would attempt to answer such questions. The Mayor called upon Mr. O. C. Oliver or a representative of TCI to summarize its basic cable rate submission. Mr. Oliver explained that the company must file the FCC Form 1210 every quarter. The 1210's basically deal with any external costs that TCI pays such as adding or deleting a channel and the cost for the preview guide. In Baytown, five additional channels have been added. Council had no questions of Mr. Oliver. Since no one registered to speak, Mayor Alfaro declared the hearing to be closed. Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 941208 -1, Creating the Baytown Transportation Authority, Describing the Territory to be Included in Such Authority and Containing Findings and Other Provisions Related Thereto Mayor Alfaro opened discussion on the motion to table Item 4. Council Member Escontrias continued that in addition to the concerns raised at the public hearing, he had received numerous calls at home which had to do with work session type items. Mayor Alfaro responded that the calls he had received were overwhelmingly in favor of creating a Baytown Transportation Authority. Council Member Benavides reiterated the need for more clarification as well as the need for a more diverse group which would include minorities. Mayor Alfaro noted that Item 5 is where board appointments should be addressed. The vote on whether to table Item 4 follows: Ayes: Council Members Benavides and Escontrias Nays: Council Members Byford, Hinds, DonCarlos, and Pruett Mayor Alfaro W 941208 -6 Minutes of the Regular Session - December 8, 1994 The vote on adoption of the ordinance follows: Ayes: Council Members Byford, Hinds, DonCarlos, and Pruett Mayor Alfaro Nays: Council Members Benavides and Escontrias ORDINANCE NO. 7187 AN ORDINANCE CREATING AN AUTHORITY WITHIN THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 1118X, TEXAS REVISED CIVIL STATUTES; DESCRIBING THE TERRITORY TO BE INCLUDED IN SUCH AUTHORITY; DESIGNATING A NAME FOR SUCH AUTHORITY; CONTAINING FINDINGS AND OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO; PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. Consider Confirmation of the Mayor's Appointments of Baytown Transportation Authority Board of Directors As required by the legislation, it is the Mayor's responsibility to appoint a five - member board with confirmation by the Council. His recommendations follow: Mr. Thomas Hadnot, engineer with Exxon Chemicals; Mr. Lamar Kelley, businessman inside the City of Baytown; Mr. Fritz Lanham, Executive Director of Baytown United Way; Mr. Jon Pfennig, attorney with Reid, Strickland & Gillette; and Mr. Mark Tiller, CPA with Tiller & Company. Council Member DonCarlos moved to approve Mr. Hadnot, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Lanham, Mr. Pfennig, and Mr. Tiller to the Baytown Transportation Authority Board of Directors. Council Member Byford seconded the motion. Council Member Benavides stated that the board should be more diverse. She explained that Baytown is comprised of more than twenty -five percent Hispanics, but no Hispanic has been named. She emphasized that she had no problem with the 941208 -7 Minutes of the Regular Session - December 8, 1994 people being recommended. However, she felt that there are some qualified minorities and this is a very sensitive issue; therefore, Council should leave it open. Mayor Alfaro explained that he had spoken to some minorities and some Hispanics who were not able to serve on the board because of time constraints. He stressed sensitivity to this issue, and reiterated from his note to Council that if the responsibility rested with each member of Council, possibly other issues would have been considered. He emphasized the difficulty and the fact that he was trying to do what was best for the entire community. At this time, collectively, he felt that these are the best five people available for the job. There were over thirty people considered. He did not talk to all thirty of them, but he did talk to some that were unable to serve because of time constraints. He noted that this five - member board will not be able to do the job by themselves. They will have to form various subgroups to get the word out to the community and inform the community of what this is all about. Then, if an election is called, they must be certain that the people have the necessary information to make the best decision. The voters will make that decision. However, he stressed his understanding of Council Member Benavides' concern, because he had considered that issue, but he had recommended the people who he felt were the best for the City of Baytown. Council Member Escontrias stated that this is the first major policy- making body Council has appointed in his year and a half on Council. During that period, Council has appointed a lot of committee members, and by and large, Council has done a very good job of trying to diversify. He felt this to be an opportunity to provide some Hispanic representation and still have a qualified group. He emphasized that this is an excellent slate but felt that one could always find reasons not to be inclusive of the ethnic makeup of the community. He mentioned that during his last two or three years on the school board, appointments were always diversified which makes for a better team. Mayor Alfaro responded that he appreciated Council Members Benavides' and Escontrias' comments; however, he would stand behind his appointments because he felt they are the five best people at this time. Council Member Pruett commented that the appointments were for two -year terms and as appointees change, minority representation will take place. However, at the present time, he felt these are the five best people for the job. Council Member DonCarlos stated that he felt Mayor Alfaro had done an excellent job and had done his homework in choosing the gentlemen selected. He noted Council seems to, at times, move toward a quota system for race or gender for inclusion on committees. He agreed with Council Member Escontrias that Council has 941208 -8 Minutes of the Regular Session - December 8, 1994 done an excellent job in diversifying committees. However, a five - person committee does not necessarily lend itself to diversification as much as larger committees would just for diversification's sake. Since Mayor Alfaro was comfortable with these people and had chosen them for specific tasks, he had confidence in the Mayor's ability to make these appointments pursuant to State statute. Council Member Byford concurred. Council Member Escontrias stressed that his vote would not be a personal thing, but his conviction is there are qualified Hispanics to select from. Council Member DonCarlos emphasized that this is the Mayor's prerogative, and the Mayor feels these are the best qualified people. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Byford, Hinds, DonCarlos, and Pruett Mayor Alfaro Nays: Council Members Benavides and Escontrias ORDINANCE NO. 7187 AN ORDINANCE CREATING AN AUTHORITY WITHIN THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 1118X, TEXAS REVISED CIVIL STATUTES; DESCRIBING THE TERRITORY TO BE INCLUDED IN SUCH AUTHORITY; DESIGNATING A NAME FOR SUCH AUTHORITY; CONTAINING FINDINGS AND OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO; PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. Consent Agenda: Council considered the consent agenda as follows: a. Proposed Ordinance No. 941208 -4 awards bid for and installation of brake retarders for two fire engines on sole source basis to Mile -Hi T Fire Equipment, Inc. in the amount of $18,766.40. Repeated stops of these heavy vehicles result in reduced brake performance, high maintenance costs, and increased risk to fire fighters and other drivers. A Telma retarder is an electro- magnetic device that helps slow the vehicle. It is 941208 -9 Minutes of the Regular Session - December 8, 1994 air cooled and has no contacting parts. One unit was retrofitted in 1992, and Telma retarders were included on three new units in 1993. We recommend approval. b. Proposed Ordinance No. 941208 -5 awards bid for trucks. Invitations to bid were mailed to eleven suppliers and we received three bids. The trucks will be used by the Inspection, Utility Construction, Parks and Recreation Departments, and Baytown Area Water Authority. We recommend awarding the bid to the lowest bidder for each item as follows: Item 1 Burnham Chevrolet $12,364 Item 2 Knapp Chevrolet 28,100 Item 3 A. C. Collins Ford 17,874 Total 58 338 We recommend approval. C. Proposed Ordinance No. 941208 -6 awards bid for microcomputers and laser printers as follows: Items 1 -5 and 7 PC Outlet, Inc. $14,480 Item 6 Spectrum Computers 2,164 Total 16 644 Invitations to bid were mailed to seven suppliers and we received seven bids. The microcomputers will be used by the Communication, Health, Emergency Management, Human Resources, Inspection, Planning, Community Development, Engineering, Emergency Medical Services, and Legal Departments. We recommend rejecting bids on Items 8 and 9. The two bids received on Item 8 exceed the specifications, as well as budgeted funds. We will redefine the specifications and rebid this computer. The low bid received by Dell Computer on Item 9 does not meet specifications. Dell bid a 941208 -10 Minutes of the Regular Session - December 8, 1994 lower grade model than specified. We will purchase these printers from the state contract. We recommend approval. d. Proposed Ordinance No. 941208 -7 awards demolition of structure at 6400 Bayway Drive (old tire storage business, Jinglebobs, etc.) to Daniel's Dump Truck Hauling in the amount of $12,000.00. There were 18 bid packages picked up and 6 bids were submitted. Cherry Demolition, low bidder, is rescinding their bid because it was based on a building at a different location. A copy of the letter is enclosed in the packet. We recommend approval. e. Proposed Ordinance No. 941208 -8 awards bid for demolition of structure at 2201 Decker Drive (the old Ramada Tower Restaurant) to Daniel's Dump Truck Hauling in the amount of $10,000.00. There were 18 bid packages picked up and 6 bids were submitted. We recommend approval. f. Proposed Ordinance No. 941208 -9 revises regulations of cable rates for the basic service tier to clarify when operator can apply for annual inflation adjustment. This amendment brings the City's local regulations in compliance with federal law. On January 27, 1994, the City Council passed Ordinance No. 6909, which enacted local regulations for rates charged cable television subscribers for the basic service tier consistent with those established by the Federal Communications Commission ( "FCC "). However, the FCC has revised its regulations necessitating a revision of the City's local regulations. Pursuant to the regulations established in the above - referenced ordinance, local cable operators could adjust their rates for inflation one year after the initial rate determination or fifteen (15) months from the effective date of Ordinance No. 6909. The FCC regulations as amended allow the first annual inflation adjustment to be made after September 30, 1994, and thereafter, consistent with the FCC rules and regulations. We recommend approval. 941208-11 Minutes of the Regular Session - December 8, 1994 g. Proposed Resolution No. 1231 authorizes additional time to make a final determination regarding the proposed update of the maximum permitted rates for regulated cable services submitted by TCI Cablevision of Texas, Inc., on FCC Form 1210. This resolution authorizes additional time in order for City Council to review the update of the maximum permitted rates for the regulated cable services submitted by TCI Cablevision of Texas, Inc., (TCI) in order to determine the reasonableness of the rates charged to subscribers for its basic service tier. On January 27, 1994, City Council adopted regulations regarding the procedure the City of Baytown would utilize in analyzing the rates and the regulated cable services charged by cable companies. The ordinance allows Council by resolution to invoke additional period of time in order to make a final determination regarding the reasonableness of the submitted rates. TCI submitted Form 1210 updating their maximum permitted rates on December 2, 1994. However, the City of Baytown has been unable to review its submission; therefore, the additional ninety (90) days should give administration and council enough time to adequately review TCI's submission. We recommend approval. Council Member Escontrias moved for approval of consent agenda Items "a" through "g." Council Member Hinds seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Benavides, Byford, Escontrias, Hinds, DonCarlos, and Pruett Mayor Alfaro Nays: None For bid tabulations, see Attachments "A" through "D."
