Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 970911 -10 Authorizing a Contract with East Harris County Soccer Sports Association The ordinance authorizes a contract with the East Harris County Soccer Sports Association for the development of a park and the organization and management of a sports program for the citizens of Baytown and the surrounding area. The association plans to develop over forty soccer fields and to construct picnic areas, gardens, playgrounds, walking /skating trails, and other sports - related facilities. The proposed facilities are to be located at the intersection of North Main and County Road 1942 on Harris County property. The Commissioners Court of Harris County and the City's Parks Board have studied the proposed development on several occasions and both are supportive of the association's efforts. Harris County has shown its support by allowing the association to proceed with its development plans on its park property and by committing $25,000 to assist the association in achieving its objectives. For these services, the City agrees to pay the association a total of $25,000. Council Member Hinds moved to adopt the ordinance. Council Member Escontrias seconded the motion. Council Member Almendarez said he was concerned about the project, because the location would prevent the complex from benefiting the inner city children in Baytown. He would prefer that it be more centrally located. There are children living in Baytown who do not participate in sports at school, because they do not have transportation. 970911 -9 Minutes of Regular Session - September 11, 1997 The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Byford, Escontrias, Hinds, DonCarlos, and Sheley Mayor Alfaro Nays: Council Member Almendarez ORDINANCE NO. 8068 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST TO A SOCCER DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRAM CONTRACT WITH THE EAST HARRIS COUNTY SOCCER SPORTS ASSOCIATION, INC.; AUTHORIZING PAYMENT BY THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, THE SUM OF TWENTY -FIVE THOUSAND AND NO /100 DOLLARS ($2$,000.00); MAKING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF.

Proposed Resolution No. 1322, annual review and approval of the City's Investment Policy and Strategy in compliance with the Public Funds Investment Act as amended 1997. The Public Funds Investment Act has been amended by the 1997 Legislature. In general the amendments further defined provisions of the previous version, enhanced reporting requirements, and required training for investment personnel. The amendments have been incorporated into our investment policy as part of our annual review and approval. All additions have been underlined and all deletions struck through. A copy of the memorandum summarizing the amendment is enclosed. We recommend approval. b. Proposed Ordinance No. 970911 -15, authorizes placement of road humps on Adams Street. Adams Street is one of two streets approved for road hump placement prior to the program being placed on "hold." Funds are available in the current budget. The Growth Management and Development Advisory Commission has approved this request. We recommend approval. 970911 -12 Minutes of Regular Session - September 11, 1997 C. Proposed Ordinance No. 970911 -16, amends Chapter 7, "Buildings," of the Code of Ordinances, Section 7 -10, "Construction board of adjustments and appeals," Subsection a(7) to include journeyman plumber or master plumber. Currently, Subsection a(7) provides for the appointment of a journeyman plumber to the Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals. Recently, the individual serving as a journeyman plumber became a master plumber and is, therefore, no longer eligible to serve. However, since there are few journeyman plumbers, the administration recommends that the provisions be amended to include journeyman plumber or master plumber. We recommend approval. d. Proposed Ordinance No. 970911 -17, awards the annual fire hydrant contract to Golden Triangle Pipe in the amount of $33,143. Invitations to bid were mailed to five suppliers and we received three bids and one no- bid. The fire hydrants are installed by the Public Works crews. We recommend approval. e.

Invitations to bid were mailed to two suppliers and we received two bids. We recommend approval. IZ. Proposed Ordinance No. 970911 -21, awards the bid on sole source basis for a scanning image module and maintenance and support to Weltec in the amount of $16,920. An automated, high speed imaging system is our first major step towards converting all of the historical data currently on paper into a digitized format. This information, as well as any future documentation, will then be available for quick retrieval from a personal 970911 -13 Minutes of Regular Session - September 11, 1997 computer either via our internal network or by CD -ROM. This imaging software is the most critical part in achieving this task. It is readily compatible with the new server software we are utilizing, is extremely flexible in its capabilities, and is fully expandable for future integrations. We recommend approval. i. Proposed Ordinance No. 970911 -22, authorizes the purchase of two utility vehicles from the State Purchasing and General Services Commission for Harris County Organized Crime and Narcotics Task Force in the amount of $58,948. Funds will be from generated program income. The State of Texas Criminal Justice Division has authorized Organized Crime to spend $65,000 on the utility vehicles. No City funds will be used. We recommend approval. j. Proposed Ordinance No. 970911 -23, authorizes a professional service agreement for Houston High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Program. Since September 1990, the City has administered federal funds designated for operation of the HIDTA Major Offender Project. This agreement is similar to that which was entered into last year and is contingent on funding by grant award made available through the Office of National Drug Control Policy. No City funds will be used. We recommend approval. k. Proposed Ordinance No. 970911-24, authorizes placement of twenty -five street lights. The Growth Management and Development Advisory Commission approved the request for placement of ten street lights in the Pinehurst Subdivision, ten street lights in the Lakewood Subdivision, and five street lights in the East Point Subdivision.

Proposed Ordinance No. 970911 -25, authorizes removal of traffic control signals at North Pruett Street and Morrell Avenue and authorizes installation of stop signs on Morrell Avenue at its intersection with North Pruett Street. North Pruett Street and Morrell Avenue intersection do not meet the minimum vehicular volume warrant for a traffic signal. The Growth Management and Development Advisory Commission 970911 -14 Minutes of Regular Session - September 11, 1997 recommends removal of the traffic signal at North Pruett Street and Morrell Avenue and to permanently install stop signs on Morrell Avenue at North Pruett Street. We recommend approval. Council Member Escontrias moved to adopt the consent agenda items "a" through 'J" except item "g." Council Member Almendarez seconded the motion.

This grant will be used on the trails in Holloway Park. Texas Department of Transportation Mayor Alfaro and the City Manager met with TxDOT last Friday regarding the problems on Interstate 10 with accidents. Some of the speed reduction efforts are flashers, advance warning signs, change the message on the changeable sign to read "reduced speed —left lane closed ahead," extra lane drop signs during lane closures, paint 55 mph on the lanes in the existing 55 mph speed zone, and paint 55 mph on the extended speed zone. The speed zone will be extended to about 2 -1/2 miles on either side of the construction area. There will be a radar monitoring sign on I -10 to monitor and provide feed back to the public. There will probably be some extra funding for speed enforcement. 970911 -19 Minutes of Regular Session - September 11, 1997 Adjourn As there was no further business to be transacted, the meeting was adjourned.
