ACCEPTING A TWENTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($20,000.00)
CONTRIBUTION FROM EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF
THE CITY OF BAYTOWN’S RECYCLYING PROGRAM; AND PROVIDING FOR THE
EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF.
Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 070111-1, authorizing the closure of Center Street at
Elvinta Street.
City Manager Jackson explained that the proposed ordinance authorizes the closure of Center
Street at Elvinta Street. City Manager Jackson gave a brief history explaining that the City of
Baytown received complaints about traffic in the School Court Subdivision. As such, in
accordance with the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Calming Policy (the “Policy”), the City and
representatives from the neighborhood met to discuss the traffic concerns, a petition was filed
and a traffic study was performed. Specifically, C. J. Henche & Associates completed a traffic
study for Center Street between McKinney and Elvinta Street to determine whether the area of
study qualified for consideration of implementing measures under the Policy. The traffic study,
which included traffic speed and volume studies, concluded that traffic calming measures were
warranted due to the cut through traffic. C. J. Henche & Associates, the traffic engineer,
recommended that Center Street be closed at Elvinta Street in order to eliminate cut through
traffic within the neighborhood. On December 13, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Commission
found that the proposed street closure is consistent with the Policy and recommends the closure
of Center Street at Elvinta Street. Public Works estimates the cost to close the street to be
$2,683.40.
Discussion was had regarding the number of homeowners that did not sign the petition.
Mayor DonCarlos called Mr. Flewellen to explain about the homeowners who did not sign the
petition. Mr. Flewellen also signed up to speak on this item.
Porter Flewellen, 103 Center Street, Baytown, Texas (281-422-0075) – Mr. Flewellen explained
that many of the homes were vacant. He also pointed out that although these homeowners did
not sign the petition, this does not mean that they are opposed to the street closure.
Page 4 of 12
Minutes of the Regular Session Meeting— January 11, 2007
Council engaged in discussion about the granting of this request possibly setting a precedent for
arbitrary street closures in the future. Mr. Jackson explained that the closure of a dedicated
public road is the most extreme traffic calming measure which is why the Traffic Calming
Policy’s process is not an easy one. In this case, each step of the policy has been followed and
met and the proposed street closure is consistent with the policy.
Mr. Jackson briefly summarized the process taken as follows:
Mr. Flewellen brought the request to Council. (Council urged staff to be expeditious in
reviewing the process).
The original petition filed was not in compliance with the policy’s petition. The
applicants resubmitted a new application to close the road as the plan requested.
Study was completed.
The study’s conclusion warranted closure of the road.
Discussion was had regarding alternatives to the closure. Mr. Bob Leiper, Deputy City Manager
explained that the study would have identified alternatives such as speed bumps and stop signs if
they were needed or would have resolved the problem.
Mr. Flewellen thanked Council and encouraged other residents to follow through with the Traffic
Calming Policy with good intentions and good reason to do so.
Council Member Caskey moved to approve the ordinance as submitted. Council Member
Murray seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council Members Capetillo, Murray, Mahan, Caskey, Renteria and Sheley

ORDINANCE NO. 10,516
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS,
AUTHORIZING THE CLOSURE OF CENTER STREET AT ELVINTA STREET; MAKING
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE

Mayor DonCarlos recognized students from the local schools.
Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 070111-2, authorizing interlocal agreements with Goose
Creek Consolidated Independent School District for (i) limited inspection services for the
new high school located at the intersection of North Main Street and Wallisville Road, (ii)
the off-site sanitary sewer construction project concerning the new high school, and (iii)
inspection services for Crockett Elementary School.
City Manager Jackson explained that the proposed ordinance authorizes interlocal agreements
with Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District for (i) limited inspection services
Page 5 of 12
Minutes of the Regular Session Meeting— January 11, 2007
for the new high school located at the intersection of North Main Street and Wallisville Road and
item (iii) inspection services for Crockett Elementary School. Mr. Jackson stated that item (ii)
was not ready.
Mr. Jackson explained that Crockett Elementary School on Barkaloo Road is being renovated
and expanded. The District is requesting a contract with the City to allow the Building Services
Department to perform plan review, issue building permits and conduct inspections. The District
will pay the applicable permit and inspections fees for these services.
He also explained that the third high school is being constructed at Wallisville Road and North
Main Street. It is anticipated that this facility will be annexed into the City prior to completion.
To facilitate a smooth transition from an ETJ project to an in-city project, the District has
requested a contract to allow the Building Services Department to work with District’s third-
party inspection agency for the issuance of a City building permit and to provide limited
inspection services. These inspection services will include all final inspections and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy. Upon completion of annexation, this permit and process will
transition without change or additional fees. Because of the limited scope of the services
provided by the City, the permit and inspection fees are set at $42,056.
Council Member Mahan moved to approve the ordinance as amended, authorizing interlocal
agreements with Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District for items (i) and (iii)

Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 070111-5, authorizing the City Manager to negotiate
th
and execute an agreement with Bayshore Fine Rides, Inc., for its 19 Annual Car Show
thst
and Cruise on Texas Avenue to be held on April 20 and 21, 2007; granting a variance to
the distance requirements contained in the Live Outdoor Exhibition Ordinance for such
event; and exempting such event from the application of the City’s Peddlers and Solicitors
Ordinance.
City Manager Jackson explained that the proposed ordinance authorizes the City Manager to
th
negotiate and execute an agreement with Bayshore Fine Rides, Inc., for its 19 Annual Car Show
thst
and Cruise on Texas Avenue to be held on April 20 and 21, 2007; grants a variance to the
distance requirements contained in the Live Outdoor Exhibition Ordinance for such event; and
exempts such event from the application of the City’s Peddlers and Solicitors Ordinance.
Mr. Jackson also explained the City of Baytown received a request for funding from Bayshore
th
Fine Rides, Inc. for its 19 Annual Car Show and Cruise on Texas Avenue to be held April 20,
2007, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and April 21, 2007, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., between
Felton and Commerce Streets. The proposed ordinance grants such request and authorizes the
City Manager to negotiate an agreement for funding up to $10,000 of hotel occupancy tax
revenues. This agreement would be similar to those executed with other organizations in
accordance with State law governing the use of Hotel Occupancy Tax funds.
Additionally Mr. Jackson explained that the proposed ordinance grants to Bayshore Fine Rides,
Inc., a variance to Section 42-286(e) of the Code of Ordinances pertaining to the distance
requirements for live outdoor exhibitions and to Chapter 74 of the Code of Ordinances pertaining
to peddlers and solicitors. The live outdoor exhibition ordinance regulations prohibit any live
outdoor exhibition activity within 500 feet from property used as a residence, school, hospital or
church. Because this event will be within the prohibited distance of residences, a variance from
Section 42-286(e) is necessary for the event to occur on Texas Avenue. The outdoor vendor
ordinance requires permitting, bonding, and insurance from each merchant selling goods or
services at the event. A variance from Chapter 74 of the Code of Ordinances is necessary in
order to exempt such merchants from complying with such requirements. Granting the variances
contained in the proposed resolution is consistent with the action Council took with respect to the
th
18 Annual Fine Rides Show on Texas Avenue and Christmas on Texas Avenue.
Mr. Dale Hughes, President of Bayshore Fine Rides addressed Council and gave an overview of
th
the organization explaining the philosophy, goals, and objective of the 19 Annual Car Show
and Cruise to be held on Texas Avenue. He stated that all vendors will be required to provide
insurance. Mr. Hughes also stated the Texas Avenue location received positive feed back last
year and he feels the event will showcase the Baytown Downtown District.

explained that the funds will be used towards advertising and entertainment in hopes to attract
