Discuss and take appropriate action on appointment process for establishment of the permanent Boards of Directors for: a) The Baytown Crime Control Prevention District; and b) The Baytown Fire Control, Prevention, and Emergency Medical Services District.

Minutes – June 8, 2006 Page 4 Receive and discuss the recommendation from Community Development Advisory Committee regarding the FY2006-07 Community Development Block Grant Budget. City Manager Jackson gave a brief overview of the Community Development Block Grant, its history, and informed Council of the declining Federal funds available. He then introduced Mr. Greg Stubbs and Ms. Tiffany Foster with the City of Baytown’s Planning Department. Mr. Stubbs spoke briefly on the activities of the Community Development Advisory Committee and turned the meeting over to Ms. Foster. Ms. Foster informed Council that the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) is comprised of nine concerned citizens appointed by City Council. The CDAC is charged with preparing a Community Development Block Grant budget recommendation for City Council consideration. She explained that Staff solicited funding proposals from local organizations for programs designed to benefit low to moderate income persons and areas in Baytown. There were 19 proposals submitted totaling $1,499,049. The CDAC held two public hearings to hear verbal requests and ask questions of the applicants. They held two subsequent meetings to discuss the proposals and prepare a budget recommendation. On May 30, 2006, the CDAC finalized their budget recommendations, which includes 13 programs totaling $1,026,742. She further explained that the City of Baytown’s 2006-07 allocation is $851,294, a decrease from last year’s allocation of $948,143. Funding for the proposed budget includes $127,925 in unexpended funds from previous program allotments and $47,523 in projected program income received from repayment of demolition, homebuyers’, and housing rehabilitation liens.

During and after her presentation, Ms. Foster fielded numerous questions concerning alley ways, sidewalks, spray parks, home buying seminars and allocations of funds, all of which she addressed accordingly. She advised Council that following the June 8 City Council meeting, the proposed budget will be published for a thirty-day public comment period. Any comments received will be presented with the proposed budget to Council on July 13, 2006 for approval. Staff must submit the approved budget to HUD no later than August 15 for a 45-day review. If approved, funding will be available on October 1, 2006. Committee Member, Joe Frank Robins addressed Council reminding them that over the past years their funds has decreased from $1.6M and is down to less than $900K. He urged Council to support the presented budget. With no other discussion required, Mayor DonCarlos moved to the next item on the agenda. Minutes – June 8, 2006 Page 6 Discuss the selection of streets for: a) The remaining funds in Year Four of the 2001 Street Bond Program, and City Manager Jackson brought Council’s attention to the updates included in their packets and reminded them of their previous discussions and decisions. He further explained for the viewing audience that these funds were approved by the voters in 2001 and were only for the total reconstruction of streets. b) Work Order Four in the Street Maintenance Sales Tax Mill and Overlay Program. City Manager Jackson reminded Council of the allocation methods used previously and urged them to make a decision regarding the allocations. Council engaged in brief discussion regarding the proposed street list presented to them and different methods of allocation with Council Member Murray urged Council to include a traffic component to the allocation method chosen. Mayor DonCarlos suggested that additional discussion was needed and moved to the next item on the agenda. Receive a report and provide direction to staff concerning the annexation of property used as a vehicle storage facility by J.E.W. Inc. City Manager Gary Jackson reviewed with Council that on April 27, 2006 the City Council considered granting a variance to J.E.W. Inc. from the requirements of Sections 102-167(a) and 102-196(b)(6) of the Code of Ordinances, requiring tow truck operators performing non-consent tows to maintain a vehicle storage facility inside the City limits. At that meeting, the City Council’s direction to staff was to grant a 120-day variance from the ordinance beginning April 28, 2006 to J.E.W. Inc. and to Jimeez’s Towing and Recovery and to assist J.E.W. Inc. with annexation of the subject property that is used as a vehicle storage facility. The persons submitting the annexation petition, Teresa and Joe Rice (who own the Wrecker business, J.E.W. Inc.), are not the legal owners of the subject property. The owner of the property is Margaret F. Smith, Trustee of the Bennie F. Smith and Margaret F. Smith Living Trust. Ms. Margaret F. Smith, Trustee is selling the property to Mr. and Ms. Rice, but the title to the property does not transfer until the final payment has been made which should occur on or about March 15, 2022. Under Texas law, the owner of the property must petition for the property to be annexed under the voluntary annexation process. Therefore, staff contacted Ms. Margaret F. Smith, Trustee, via letter; however, Ms. Smith has not petitioned for annexation of the subject property. Another problem is that the subject property is not contiguous to the city limits since there is a railroad track between the subject property and the city limits. Resolution 1664 passed by the City Council on July 22, 2004 requires that if a street or road is required to be annexed, the petitioner is required to provide a legal description of such road or street—the cost of which shall be borne by the petitioner. While railroad tracks are not specifically mentioned in Resolution 1664, staff believes that the intent of the resolution—to make the petitioner pay for a survey of property between the City limits and the desired annexation—would also apply in this case and no survey Minutes – June 8, 2006 Page 7 has been received by staff for the railroad property. Additionally, should the City seek involuntary annexation, this would encompass the annexation of a total of four properties. This option is not the wish of the land owner, Ms. Margaret F. Smith. Council engaged in brief conversation and introduced Ms. Teresa Rice with J.E.W. Inc. who signed up to speak on this agenda item. Ms. Rice explained the situation they have with their property and their relationship with Ms. Smith. She informed Council that their hands are tied in regard to this issue and their company has enjoyed working on the City’s rotation list. She reminded Council the J.E.W. had been there for the City when other companies on the rotation list would not work due to a holiday or the nature of the call. Ms. Rice fielded a limited number of questions from Council. Council then engaged in lengthy deliberations over the matter with the main topics of concern being the impact of the company being outside the city limits and the benefits they might have compared to other tow truck companies that are inside the City limits. Council directed Staff to bring back valuation and tax summaries on the involved properties outside of the city limits for comparison purposes. Council reviewed the inspection report provided to them indicating that the aforementioned storage facility is not in compliance with the current Ordinance. With additional discussion required, Mayor DonCarlos recommended tabling the item and moved to item 12 on the agenda. Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 060608-1, approving Change Order No. 6 to the Emergency Operations Center and Police Academy Construction Project and approving a change in the General Fund Capital Improvements Program Fund of the FY 05-06 Budget to fund this change order. City Manager Gary Jackson reviewed with Council that Proposed Ordinance No. 060608-1, approves Change Order No. 6 to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Police Academy (PA) Construction Project with Frost Constructors, Inc. This change order will increase the contract amount not to exceed $505,647. The original contract amount with Frost Constructors, Inc., was $2,711,266.35 and Change Order No. 1 increased it to $2,767,349.95. Change Order No. 2 increased the contract amount to $2,825,214.95, Change Order No. 3 increased it to $2,849,885.95, Change Order No. 4 increased it to $2,854,148.95, and Change Order No. 5 increased it to $2,856,527.95. Change Order No. 6 will increase the contract amount not to exceed $3,362,174.95. This change order includes a number of items associated with the EOC of which, the major ones are as follows: a. Applying a waterproofing coating to the exterior walls to correct the current leaks. b. Structural knee bracing to ensure the design strength for the building. c. New ventilation system dampers as part of the waterproofing process. d. New louver covers as part of the waterproofing process. e. Demolition and replacement of drywall, insulation, electrical panels and conduit as part of the repair from previous leakage and waterproofing process. f. New kitchen vent hood; and Minutes – June 8, 2006 Page 8 g. Additional railing, movable partition supports, additional access flooring, reconfiguration of the showers, and a vent pipe resolution allowance. As previously mentioned, this change order and all above referenced work items are only related to the Emergency Operations Center and not the Police Academy. He noted that some of the items requiring the additional work/expenses of this and previous change orders are being reviewed by outside legal counsel for the potential legal action to recover our additional costs from parties under contract related to this project. Mr. Jackson informed Council that Todd Barnett from Chamberlain, Hrdlicka Law Firm was present to update Council on the law firm’s investigation into potential claims. Mr. Barnett reviewed with Council that as of now the project is shut down and has been since October 2005 due to water infiltration into the building through the materials. He urged Council to get the project moving again even if it is at the City’s expense, those monies can be recovered at a later date, once responsibility had been determined. City Manager Jackson and Mr. Barnett eased Council’s mind that there were instruments in place that covered the architect and contractor in regard to these types of claims. Mr. Barnett continued by informing Council that through the process of due diligence, design flaws were found to be the blame for the moisture issue and that no matter how well the structure was built, the moisture problem would still have been an issue. His firm recommends moving forward with the same contractor and explained his reasoning for same. Mr. Barnett fielded numerous questions and concerns from Council, which he and City Manager Jackson addressed accordingly. Mr. Barnet introduced Mr. Blank F. Harper with Harper Brawner, LLC. Mr. Brawner informed Council that no matter how structurally sound the building was built, the materials would act like a sponge absorbing the rain and moisture, especially with high winds. He reviewed with Council the recommended moisture proofing process. Mr. Brawner fielded questions from Council which he addressed accordingly. Based on the practical action of getting the project moving forward again, it is suggested that the City fund this change order until such time the matter is resolved. This moves the City in two directions simultaneously: 1) readying the building for use; and 2) determining who is legally responsible. Council Member Murray moved to approve the Ordinance as presented. Council Member Renteria seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Renteria, Caskey, Capetillo, Mahan, Murray and Sheley Mayor DonCarlos Nays: None The motion carried. Minutes – June 8, 2006 Page 9 ORDINANCE NO. 10,345 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, MAKING A CHANGE IN THE CITY OF BAYTOWN’S FISCAL YEAR 2005-2006 BUDGET FOR MUNICIPAL PURPOSES IN ORDER TO REPROGRAM FUNDS IN THE GENERAL FUND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM FUND FOR THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER; AUTHORIZING CHANGE ORDER NO. 6 WITH FROST CONSTRUCTORS, INC., FOR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER AND POLICE ACADEMY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT; AUTHORIZING PAYMENT BY THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED FIVE HUNDRED FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($505,647.00); MAKING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. Mayor DonCarlos returned to the agenda order and moved to item 11 on the agenda. Receive and take appropriate action regarding a request for an extension to the Taft Circle Apartments rehabilitation agreement. Mayor DonCarlos introduced Mr. Bobby Rood the new property owner of Taft Circle Apartments. Mr. Rood explained to Council that he is seeking a six-week extension to the current agreement. He informed them of the health and roofing materials issues that have hindered his progress. He explained that the roofing materials are ready and that processes can begin immediately for the apartments in Tract 1. The roofing project for Tract 1 should take about 6 weeks. Mr. Rood plans to demolish and remediate Tract 2 of the property and replace with townhomes which he intends to sell. The demolition would take approximate 6 to 8 weeks after asbestos abatement (assuming there are no delays with the abatement process) which would take at least 50 working days. He further explained the replacement townhomes would be 3 story in design with a garage on the first floor and living area on the top two floors. Mr. Rood fielded various questions from Council, most significantly Council wanted Mr. Rood to sign a written timeline and provide certain loan information. Mr. Rood informed Council he would be willing to sign the timeline and provide them with the requested information early next week. Mr. Rood assured Council again that he has secured funding through Sam Houston Mortgage in the form of a bridge loan and is working toward severing all ties with the previous owners. He desires to start work immediately upon issuance of permits. Mr. Rood thanked Council for their time and consideration. Mayor DonCarlos introduced Mrs. D. Heyen who signed up to speak on this item on the agenda. Mrs. Heyen urged Council to not approve any extension without Mr. Rood providing the requested documentation. She also voiced concern in having the asbestos abatement done properly. The complex has been a sore spot in the community much too long. Minutes – June 8, 2006 Page 10 Mayor DonCarlos recommended tabling this item until the requested information was received the following week. Council was informed that the agreement would be in its 15 day cure period and this would provide ample time for receipt of the requested information from Mr. Rood and allow for additional discussion and possible decision at the June 22, 2006 Council Meeting.
