The legislation provides that the organizations must have received a determination letter from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts prior to submitting an application to the county appraisal district. As this time, we are aware of two organizations that have received determination letters from the State. The fiscal impact of exemptions granted to these two organizations would result in a reduction in tax income of approximately $1,700 per year. Other organizations may also be eligible.

Consider the motion to reconsider action taken on April 11, 2002 on plans and specifications for the State Highway 146 at El Chaco Drive Traffic Light Project. Resolution No. 947 established Council's rules of procedure. Section 3 of the resolution prohibits reconsideration of any item if the item has been previously considered and voted on by the Council within the previous six -month period, unless the Council by majority vote waives the restriction. For Council to reconsider its vote at the last meeting, Council must waive the prohibition on reconsideration of the item. Council Member Anderson moved to reconsider action taken on April 11, 2002 on plans and specifications for the State Highway 146 at El Chaco Drive Traffic Light Project. Council Member Renteria seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Anderson, Godwin, Mundinger, Murray, Renteria, and Sheley. Mayor Alfaro. Nays: None. The motion carried. Consider the amendment of plans and specifications for the State Highway 146 at El Chaco Drive Traffic Light Project to include installation of a full traffic signal. Additional information was gathered concerning the installation of a traffic signal at Highway 146 and El Chaco Drive, after the last Council meeting. Telephone conversations were held with representatives of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Beaumont District Office and ! Kimley -Horn and Associates. These conversations clarified and expanded the options available for Council consideration based on the studies performed for the traffic control measures. Page 5ofII Minutes of the Regular Session - April 25, 2002 The traffic studies indicate that the intersection of Highway 146 and El Chaco meet two of the warrants. TxDOT informed us that meeting one warrant will technically justify the installation of a traffic control signal. The recommendation of the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and of our consultants is to implement the least restrictive traffic control measure first. Staff's recommendation was based on the advise of the consultants. The further investigation revealed that a traffic signal is an available option for Council's consideration. Council Member Anderson moved amendment of plans and specifications for the State Highway 146 at El Chaco Drive Traffic Light Project to include installation of a full traffic signal. Council Member Mundinger seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Anderson, Godwin, Mundinger, Murray, Renteria, and Sheley. Mayor Alfaro. Nays: None. The motion carried. Consider Proposed Resolution No. 020425 -1, relating to the measure on the May 4, 2002 election ballot proposing the amendment of the Charter to mandate Fire Department staffing. Firefighters initiated a petition to amend the Charter, that, if approved, would require the City to maintain a minimum of 5 fire stations, a minimum of 1 fire emergency vehicle at each station and a minimum of 4 personnel, consisting of 1 officer, 1 fire equipment operator, and 2 firefighters at each station. Such proposition restricts future City Councils and is not the appropriate means for addressing operational (staffing) issues. In its commitment to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our citizens and our firefighters, the City Council hereby expresses its intent to examine all available alternatives for additional firefighter staffing in order to maintain maximum safety standards. The City Council hereby opposes Proposition No. 1 on the May 4`h ballot, to amend the Charter. Council Member Godwin moved adoption of the proposed resolution. Council Member Murray seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Anderson, Godwin, Mundinger, Murray, Renteria, and Sheley. Mayor Alfaro. Nays: None. The motion carried.

Page 6 of 1 l Minutes of the Regular Session - April 25, 2002 Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 020425 -3, the first reading of the Ordinance annexing property currently within the extra - territorial jurisdiction of the City of Baytown and being a 1.384 -acre tract east of Garth Road and north of Interstate Highway 10 and the Jack- In -The- Box restaurant property, in the George Ellis League, A -21. The City of Baytown has received a request to annex a 1.384 -acre tract of land owned by Mohamed Momin and proposed for the construction of a convenience store. Mr. Momin has filed and the City Council has approved a petition to annex this property. In accordance with state law, two public hearings were held on the proposed annexation on March 28, 2002. The final reading may not be held until 30 days after the publication of the first reading of the ordinance and will be scheduled for June 13, 2002, if the ordinance passes the first reading. Council Member Anderson moved adoption of the proposed ordinance. Council Member Mundinger seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Anderson, Godwin, Mundinger, Murray, Renteria, and Sheley. Mayor Alfaro. Nays: None. The motion carried. ORDINANCE NO. 9348 AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE EXTENSION OF CERTAIN BOUNDARY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AND THE ANNEXATION OF A 1.384 ACRE TRACT OF LAND OUT OF A 20.971 ACRE TRACT OF LAND IN THE GEORGE ELLIS LEAGUE, ABSTRACT 21, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS; WHICH SAID TERRITORY LIES ADJACENT TO AND ADJOINS THE PRESENT BOUNDARY LIMITS FOR THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS. Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 0204254, authorizing the City Manager to consent to the Consumer Price Index adjustment to the telecommunications rights -of -way access line rates for the use of the public right -of -way by certificated telecommunications providers. Since March 1, 2000, all telecommunication franchises in Texas are based on a fee per access line basis, which fees are set by the Public Utility Commission of Texas ( "PUC "). Pursuant to Chapter 283 of the Texas Local Government Code, the PUC is charged with annually adjusting the rates per access line for each municipality by an amount equal to one -half of the annual change, if any, in the consumer price index. Based on information obtained from the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, the PUC has determined that one -half the annual change in the CPI for 2001 is 1.15 %. Therefore, the maximum access line rates for all Texas cities have been increased by 1.15 %. The maximum rates will increase evenly for residential, business and point -to -point customers. The CTPs will start implementing the new rates no later than July 1, 2002, and the City should receive compensation based upon these new rates starting in the third calendar quarter of 2002. Council Member Mundinger moved adoption of the proposed ordinance. Council Member Anderson seconded the motion. The vote follows: Page 7ofII Minutes of the Regular Session - April 25, 2002 Ayes: Council Members Anderson, Godwin, Mundinger, Murray, Renteria, and Sheley. Mayor Alfaro. Nays: None. The motion carried. ORDINANCE NO. 9349 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO CONSENT TO THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI) ADJUSTMENT TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS RIGHTS -OF -WAY ACCESS LINE RATES FOR THE USE OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY BY CERTIFICATED TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 020425 -5, altering the prima facie speed limits on portions of Interstate 10, State Highway 146, Business Highway 146, and State Spur 55 within the corporate limits of the City of Baytown. The proposed ordinance was placed on the agenda to allow City Council to adopt the prima facie speed limits established by the Texas Transportation Commission on portions of Interstate 10, State Highway 146, Business Highway 146, and State Spur 55 within the corporate limits of the City of Baytown. Review of relevant issues while drafting the proposed ordinance revealed that Texas Administrative Code, Title 43, section 25.24 provides that the Minute Orders of the Commission establish the speed limits, without the need of further action of City Council. No action was taken. Consider the Statement of Intent to increase rates filed by Reliant Energy Entex. Reliant Energy Entex filed a Statement of Intent to raise rates. Reliant proposes a rate increase for residential and commercial natural gas service within the City for Reliant Energy Entex. Reliant Energy Entex currently serves approximately 14,147 residential customers, 809 commercial customers and 55 large volume customers in the City of Baytown. Reliant has filed Statements of Intent to adjust their residential and commercial rate schedules to compensate for the actual increase in operating expenses during calendar year 2001 as compared with calendar year 2000. The proposed increase would result in an increase in the average gas bill of approximately $0.48 per bill or $5.79 per year (3.8 %). The primary reason for the increase ($.41 out of the total $.48 increase) is due to a much higher uncollectible accounts expense. No action was taken on this item. Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 020425 -7 authorizing the City Manager to reimburse youth sports leagues for electrical costs. Questions were raised in early March regarding the payment of electrical services by youth sports groups in City -owned facilities. Upon review of the policy, it was determined that it would be in the best interest of youth leagues for Council to consider paying some or all of these costs. A memorandum is included in your packet with details of other city's practices and the estimate cost in Baytown. Page 8ofII Minutes of the Regular Session - April 25, 2002 Tim Elliot, 910 Ashbel, and Danny Klaus, 10011 Bayou Woods, spoke in favor of the ordinance. Council Member Godwin moved to table the ordinance. The motion failed for lack of a second. Council Member Mundinger moved adoption of the proposed ordinance. Council Member Renteria seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council Members Anderson, Godwin, Mundinger, Murray, Renteria, and Sheley. Mayor Alfaro. Nays: None. The motion carried. ORDINANCE NO. 9350 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO REIMBURSE YOUTH SPORTS LEAGUES FOR THEIR ELECTRICAL COSTS UP TO A MAXIMUM OF FIVE THOUSAND AND NO /100 DOLLARS ($5,000.00) EACH; AUTHORIZING TOTAL PAYMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED THIRTY THOUSAND AND NO /100 ($30,000.00); AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. Consent Agenda a) Proposed Resolution No. 020425 -2 amends Resolution No. 1531, adopted on February 28, 2002, to name a replacement election judge and alternate election judge in Precinct 533, and an alternate election judge in Precinct 28. The election judge and alternate election judge in Precinct 533 have reported their inability to serve due to a prior commitment. In their places, it is recommended that K.C. Compton and Salva Chapa be appointed. The alternate judge in Precinct 28 has indicated that he will be absent from the City on election day and therefore, unable to serve. In his place, the presiding judge for the precinct has recommended the appointment of Ms. Joanne York, who has experience in conducting elections. b) Proposed Resolution No. 020425 -3 requests the sheriff or constable to sell the property located at Reserve A, Block 1, Ginger Creek Estates 3, Peppermill Avenue at a public sale pursuant to Section 34.05(c) of the Texas Tax Code. In 1997, the Legislature amended the Tax Code to allow taxing entities to sell via a public sale property held by a taxing entity as a result of the receipt of an insufficient bid at a tax foreclosure sale. At a public sale, the property will be sold at a public auction at the courthouse door of the county on the first Tuesday of the month, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4 :00 p.m. The acceptance of a bid at such a sale is conclusive and binding on the question of its sufficiency. As such, it is believed that this process will provide the City an efficient mechanism for (i) returning deteriorated or unproductive properties to the tax rolls, (ii) enhancing the value of ownership to the properties neighboring those which have been bid off to the City in tax foreclosure sales, and (iii) improving the safety and quality of life throughout the City. This resolution authorizes the sale of the following property: Page 9 of I 1 Minutes of the Regular Session - April 25, 2002 Property Address: Peppermill Avenue, Baytown, Texas 77520 Legal Description: Reserve A, Block 1, Ginger Creek Estates 3 HCAD Account No.: 115 -116 -001 -0060 Number and Style of Suit: Cause No. 1987 - 42709; City of Baytown v.

This system used in the patrol cars to do real -time queries on various databases without being required to contact dispatch for this information. d) Proposed Ordinance No. 020425 -9 awards the purchase of one 2001 Wheeled Coach Type III Class IA demonstrator ambulance from Houston - Galveston Area Council in the amount of $64,200, including the H -GAC fee. The new ambulance replaces a 1992 Wheeled Coach ambulance. The ambulance will be used by the Health Department Emergency Medical Services Division. The HGAC fee is $1,200. The City will receive $5,000 on the trade -in of the old ambulance. e) Proposed Ordinance No. 020425 -10 authorizes a contract with Baytown Family YMCA for Youth Summer Recreation Programs. This contract includes a Tennis Program, a Special Population Program, and a Summer Park Camp program. This year's contract is substantially the same as last year's contract. Under the proposed contract, the YMCA will not pay for lifeguards because of the removal of the pool at Roseland Park. Similarly, they will not be using the pavilion at Roseland Park for the YMCA summer camp program. While the park sites are different, the services remain substantially the same.
