Consider Approval of Minutes for the Regular Meeting held on May 11, 2000 Council Member Sheley moved to approve the minutes. Council Member Mundinger seconded the motion. The vote follows: 20000523 -2 Minutes of Special Meeting — May 23, 2000 Ayes: Council Members Anderson, Mundinger, Murray, Godwin, and Sheley Mayor Alfaro Nays: None Abstained: Council Member Almendarez The motion carried. Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 000523 -1 Providing for the Transfer of Control of the Cable Television Franchise, Initially Granted to TCI Cablevision of Texas, Inc., and Subsequently Transferred to Texas Cable Partners, L.P., from Time Warner, Inc. (TWI) to AOL Time Warner, Inc., (AOUTWI) The ordinance imposes certain conditions for consent of transfer. On or about February 29, 2000, the City received FCC Form 394 setting forth the legal, financial, and technical information regarding the transfer of control of the franchise agreement with TCP to AOUTWI. According to the City's franchise regulations and agreement, the City "is empowered to take legal equitable action to set aside, annul, revoke or cancel a franchise or the transfer of a franchise, if such transfer is not made according to the procedures set forth in this article, or is not in the best interest of the city or the public." Baytown, Tex., Code §21 -35 (1) (1997). The City has, with the assistance of a consultant, analyzed the transfer to assess the legal qualifications of AOL/TWI to operate the cable system, the potential impact on subscriber rates and services, and all other legal factors germane to the transaction which the City can lawfully evaluate. Based upon such analysis, the City does not believe that the operation of the cable system by AOL TWI would adversely affect cable services to subscribers or otherwise be contrary to the public interest. Ultimately, unless the City fails to act prior to June 7, 2000, on the pending transfer request (which failure would result in such transfer being deemed approved by the City), the transfer will not be effective unless TCP agrees to the following conditions in writing: 1. the terms, conditions, and requirements of the TCP franchise agreement; 2. the terms, conditions, and requirements specified in Ordinance No. 8443, passed, approved, and adopted on the 12th day of November, 1998; and 3. TCP's agreement, expressed by acceptance of this Ordinance, that (i) all revenues collected by TCP, its parent, subsidiaries, or affiliates from the provision of internet and on -line services and 20000523 -3 Minutes of Special Meeting — May 23, 2000 access provided through TCP's cable modem platform within the City shall be included in the definition of "Gross Revenues" under the Franchise, whether specifically identified therein or not, so long as such services and access are deemed by applicable law to be "cable services," (ii) in the event such services are deemed by applicable law to be other than cable services, TCP shall obtain, or cause its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, or others to obtain, a separate franchise from the City to provide such services within the City through TCP's cable modem platform, and (iii) TCP shall not attempt to circumvent the intention of this provision to pay franchise fees on internet and on -line services and access by allowing a parent company, subsidiary, or affiliate to provide such services without compensation to TCP for the use of its cable modem platform. Council Member Mundinger moved to adopt the ordinance. Council Member Godwin seconded the motion. Council Member Almendarez commented that he was very disappointed in the way Time Warner and ABC handled their dispute. Council Member Murray inquired about the difficulty in making changes in the future. City Attorney Ramirez stated that the City's consultant was negotiating any changes and would have the information later in the week. He said this ordinance still needed to be adopted because of the time limit. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Almendarez, Anderson, Mundinger, Murray, Godwin, and Sheley Mayor Alfaro Nays: None The motion carried. 20000523 -4 Minutes of Special Meeting — May 23, 2000 ORDINANCE NO. 8912 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, PROVIDING FOR THE TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF THE BAYTOWN, TEXAS; CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE, INITIALLY GRANTED TO TCI CABLEVISION OF TEXAS, INC., AND SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED TO TEXAS CABLE PARTNERS, L.P., FROM TIME WARNER, INC., TO AOL TIME WARNER, INC.; IMPOSING CERTAIN CONDITIONS FOR CONSENT; PROVIDING FOR OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY.

The proposed tax reinvestment zone involves a tract of land on Decker Drive proposed to be improved with a 250,000 square foot warehouse. The warehouse will cost approximately $6,250,000. The warehouse will contain approximately 3,000 square feet of office space for administrative functions. $200,000 in personal property will be located in the warehouse. The construction of the warehouse will employ fifty to one hundred people. Once completed, the warehouse will employ seven to eleven full -time employees. The administrative offices will house seven to nine employees who would be transferred to the Houston office if the warehouse were not constructed. Mayor Alfaro called to order the public hearing and asked everyone desiring to speak to sign the list in the foyer as the list provides the speaking order for the hearing. He stated that the hearing was to receive public input and that everyone desiring to present information would be given ample opportunity to do so. However, he asked that everyone be as brief and to the point as possible. He said that this was not an adversarial -type proceeding but an opportunity for interested persons to be heard. Mr. Tristan Probst, attorney for Elastomers- EniChem, spoke in favor of the tax reinvestment zone. 20000523 -5 Minutes of Special Meeting — May 23, 2000 The City Manager said that the warehouse was fully equipped with sprinklers and all necessary equipment.

The FCC rules allow the City ninety days to review the proposed schedule of rates after which time TCP may implement such rates subject to a prospective rate reduction and refund if the City subsequently issues a written decision disapproving any portion of such rates. A representative of TCP will be present to summarize the rate submission. Mayor Alfaro called to order the public hearing and stated that everyone desiring to speak should sign the list in the foyer as the list provides the speaking order for the hearing. He stated that the hearing was to let the citizens of Baytown speak regarding Texas Cable Partners' proposed adjustments of cable, equipment, and service rates. There was no one present from Texas Cable Partners' to speak. Since no one else wished to speak, Mayor Alfaro closed the public hearing. Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 000523 -2 Amending Chapter 14, "Animals," Article II, "Impoundment," Section 14-40 "Sale or Destruction of Impounded Animals" of the Code of Ordinances Relating to the Sale or Destruction of Impounded Animals The proposed change will create a voucher system by which the person adopting the animal pays an adoption fee of $50.00 for an animal that is not spayed or neutered. This adoption fee includes a $40.00 voucher towards the costs for spaying or neutering the adopted animal. If the animal is already spayed or neutered, the adoption cost remains $10.00.
