Proposed Ordinance No. 040610 -3 approves an interlocal agreement with the Baytown Municipal
Development District (MDD) and an amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with the MDD to provide
additional funding for construction of improvements to the Wayne Gray Sports Complex. On
September 12, 2002, the Council approved an interlocal agreement with the MDD to provide funding
in an amount not to exceed $224,000 for the design of improvements to the Wayne Gray Sports
Complex. The City expended $219,000 for the professional fees for the design of the improvements.

amount not to exceed $1,966,000 for construction of the improvements. This proposed ordinance
approves this interlocal agreement. The original budget for the design and construction of the project
was $2,190,000. The amended MDD agreement provides an additional $100,000 to allow awarding
the base bid and to provide a $57,877 contingency for use as may be required during construction. The
agreement is similar to agreements previously approved for joint projects.

Minutes of the Regular Session — June 10, 2004
Troy Bryant, First Vice - President of the Girls Fast Pitch Softball Association, registered to speak to
Council in favor of improvements to the Wayne Gray Sports Complex.
Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 0406104, amending the 2003 -2004 budget to reallocate
$75,000 in Hotel -Motel funds and $94,000 in Capital Improvement Program Funds to provide
additional concession /restroom construction in the Wayne Gray Sports Complex Renovation
construction contract.
The budget for the design and construction of the Wayne Gray Sports Complex Renovation Project is
$2,290,000. The proposed ordinance allows Council to reallocate eligible Hotel -Motel Tax (HOT)
funds and General Fund Capital Improvement Project Fund (CIPF) funds so that alternate bid #2,
concession stand/restrooms, can be awarded with the base bid on the following agenda item. This
project is eligible under the Hotel Occupancy Tax statutes amended in the last session to allow certain
home -rule municipalities which both border a bay and have a population of less than 80,000, to use
HOT funding for maintenance, improvement, or operation of facilities that attract tourists, including
parks and parking facilities. CIPF funding is available from undesignated project funds included in the
current year budget. It is preferable that this type of work interior to the fields be completed in
conjunction with the site work (underground utilities, grading and drainage) that is part of the base bid.
Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 040610 -5, awarding a construction contract for the
renovation and expansion of the Wayne Gray Sports Complex.
Proposed Ordinance No. 040610 -5 awards a construction contract in the amount of $2,143,000 to
Morganti Texas, Inc. for the renovation and expansion of the Wayne Gray Sports Complex. Since the
creation of the Municipal Development District (MDD), the renovation of the existing Sports Complex
and expansion of the facility on the North Main property has been a long awaited venture. Through an
interlocal agreement between the City and MDD, the 60 -acre project will include the renovation of the
4 -field complex for youth softball, construction of 4 new adult softball fields, and construction of a
concession/restroom facility. This will result in a total of 10 fields at the end of Phase One. The
Rotary Club of Baytown will donate $20,000 toward the construction of the pavilion at a later date. A
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department grant application was not successful that would have added other
upgrades to the park project.
A pre -bid conference was held on April 26, 2004 with eight contractors present. Because of the
complicated project, the bid opening was extended to May 21, 2004. Of the five bids we received, the
low bid was from Morganti Texas, Inc., with a base bid of $1,974,000, and alternate #2 (additional
concession/restroom facility) bid of $169,000, for a total contract amount of $2,143,000. Construction
is expected to begin in July and take 300 calendar days (weather depending), with completion in the
spring of 2005. Funding is available from the MDD, HOT fund transfer and General Fund CIPF
transfer.
Council Member Renteria moved adoption of proposed ordinance Nos. 040610 -3, 040610 -4, and
040610 -5. Council Member Anderson seconded the motion. The vote follows:

estimated to be 30 calendar days and will be funded by the Water and Sewer Fund, Utility
Construction budget.

Minutes of the Regular Session — June 10, 2004
Since the previous council meeting, wherein this bid was discussed, staff has reviewed whether it is
appropriate for the City to expend public funds for the relocation or replacement of a private water or
sewer line. Section 402.901 of the Texas Local Government Code, in conjunction with Article 11,
Section 12 of the Texas Constitution, requires that a municipality assess the cost of any relocation or
replacement of a private water or sewer line against the property on which such line is located.
However, during the last legislative session, Section 26.049(h) was added to the Texas Water Code,
which appears to give the City authority to perform the work without assessing the cost of the
relocation or replacement against the property; provided no debt is issued for such work. Because of
this new statute, there is some authority by which the City may proceed with the Hill Terrace and
Shreck Water Service Relocation Project as originally contemplated.
Council Member Anderson moved adoption of the proposed ordinance. Council Member Renteria

Development District to provide funding in an amount not to exceed $200,000 for the design of traffic
signal synchronization on North Main Street (Texas Avenue to East Baker Road) and on Alexander

construction of the Garth Road synchronization in year one, followed by separate design and
construction of North Main Street and of Alexander Drive. In 2003, the City submitted a project
proposal for funding traffic synchronization on these next two streets through the Houston - Galveston
Area Council (H -GAC). These projects are included in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) for
possible funding in 2005. In order to receive funding, the design on the projects must be complete and
ready for bid. This funding, available within current allocations for street synchronization, will fund
engineering and design for both of these corridors so that our chances for funding in the 2004 -2005
cycle are enhanced. The City's Architect and Engineer (A &E) Committee will be utilized to
recommend a qualified firm(s) and the City Council will consider the A &E recommendation in
