Minutes of the Regular Session — November 11, 2004
Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 041111 -1, amending Chapter 90 "Taxation," Article II "Ad
Valorem Taxes," Section 90 -27 "Exemptions," of the Code of Ordinances by adding a new
subsection to enact a tax cap for residential homesteads of citizens over the age of 65 and
disabled citizens pursuant to Section 1 -b, Article VIII, Texas Constitution.
A 2003 amendment to the Texas Constitution, H.J.R. 16, and an enacting bill, H.B. 136, provide that a
city may cap the homestead taxes of persons over the age of 65 and the disabled, similar to the current
mandatory cap on school district taxes. For example, if the cap is enacted, a person over 65 who
currently pays $800 in city property taxes will never pay more than that dollar amount during that
person's lifetime or during the lifetime of certain surviving spouses. The cap can be enacted by the
Council, but once enacted, the tax cap is permanent.
The following persons registered to speak to Council concerning Proposed Ordinance No. 041111 -1:
Steve Coycault, Sr., 3411 Lausanne Ave., Pasadena, Texas
Mr. Coycault, representing the Texas Silver - Haired Legislature, requested that Council freeze City of
Baytown taxes for senior and disabled citizens, per Proposition 13, passed on September 13, 2003.
Lee LeBouf, 3529 Gail
Mr. LeBouf urged Council to adopt the ordinance enacting the tax cap.
Bob Carr, 1708 Narcille
Mr. Carr urged Council to adopt the ordinance enacting the tax cap.
Jane Roberts, 1707 Chilton
Ms. Roberts urged Council to adopt the ordinance enacting the tax cap.
Carol Brumley, 1301 Dwinnell
Ms. Brumley urged Council to adopt the ordinance enacting the tax cap.
The following persons registered to speak to Council regarding Proposed Ordinance No. 041111 -1, but
declined to speak when given the opportunity:
Jesse Brumley, Sue Duncan, and Don Duncan.
City Manager Jackson noted the Attorney General opinion which ruled that cities cannot retroactively
apply the property tax. The budget year begins on October 1, 2004 and any tax cap passed by the City
Council cannot go into effect until after December 31, 2004. The Attorney General's ruling was
against the City of Pasadena, which passed the cap earlier this year. Mr. Jackson explained the impact
of the adoption of the tax cap.
Council Member Murray moved adoption of the proposed ordinance. Council Member Anderson
seconded the motion.
Page 3 of 14
Minutes of the Regular Session — November 11, 2004
Council Member Sheley proposed the adoption of additional exemptions in lieu of the tax cap. He
presented a chart of such additional exemptions, asserting that this would result in a lower tax bill for
all homes with a value of $150,000 or less. He expressed concern that the adoption of the tax cap
would place a burden on the children of those who would currently reap the benefit. He emphasized
that additional exemptions would help persons over the age of 65, the disabled, and those with lower
incomes. He stated that if the tax burden were shifted to businesses, they would pass it on to their
customers. He reminded Council that the tax cap is permanent.
Council Member Murray said that the vote was to authorize governmental bodies to cap taxes and he
intended to vote in favor of the ordinance.
Mayor Mundinger stated that the citizens wanted longer -term assurance that the tax cap would be
permanent.
Council Member Mahan suggested that exemptions be raised for a one -year period to gauge public
response. If the tax cap is still preferred, it could be adopted at that time.
Council Member Anderson voiced his support of the tax cap.
The vote follows:
Ayes: Council Members Anderson, Mahan, Murray, Renteria, and Sheley.
Mayor Mundinger.
Nays: None.
The motion carried.

The following person registered to speak to Council concerning the selection of Council Member,
District 3:
Reba Eichelberger, 2008 Oak Shadows
Ms. Eichelberger voiced her support of Charles Shaffer as the representative of Council District 3, and
argued that, because the vacancy had been created by former Council Member Mundinger's election to

Minutes of the Regular Session — November 11, 2004
Conduct a public hearing to receive input concerning the adoption of an ordinance to participate
in the Texas Enterprise Zone Program as amended by the 78th Texas Legislature and to
consider and nominate Bayer MaterialScience LLC as an enterprise zone project.
The public hearing was called to order at 7:40 p.m.
Input may also be received concerning local incentives available to business enterprises within the
jurisdiction of the City of Baytown, regardless of whether those business enterprises are located in an
enterprise zone. The local incentives to be discussed may include, but are not limited to, tax and other
financial incentives, benefits, and programs. Texas Government Code, Chapter 2303, "Enterprise
Zones" requires the City Council to conduct a public hearing at which persons interested in the
proposed enterprise zone project nomination and incentives are given the opportunity to provide input
and to be heard. Notice of the public hearing was published in The Baytown Sun on November 1,
2004, more than seven days prior to today's date.
No one appeared to speak at the public hearing.
The public hearing was closed at 7:43 p.m.
Council Member Anderson did not immediately return after the recess.
Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 041111 -2, ordaining the City's participation in the Texas
Enterprise Zone Program, identifying and summarizing local incentives available, designating a
liaison for communication with Interested parties, and nominating Bayer MaterialScience LLC
to the Office of the Governor, Economic Development and Tourism through the Economic
Development Bank as an enterprise project.
Bayer MaterialScience LLC has applied to the City for designation of BMS as an enterprise project.
The City's nomination of BMS was approved at the last council meeting. However, because of the
competition statewide to receive the remaining enterprise project designations, the City desires to
expand the local incentives that may be available in an enterprise zone as well as within the City and
its extraterritorial jurisdiction. Such local incentives will be the subject of the public hearing held
immediately prior to the consideration of this ordinance by the City Council.
Council Member Mahan moved adoption of the proposed ordinance. Council Member Sheley
seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council Members Mahan, Murray, Renteria, and Sheley.
Mayor Mundinger.
Nays: None.
The motion carried.

ORDAINING THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION IN THE TEXAS ENTERPRISE ZONE PROGRAM

Prior to the consideration of Proposed Ordinance No. 041111 -3, Gary W. Smith, City Clerk,
announced that Council Member Anderson filed a conflict of interest affidavit relating to this item and
would not participate.
Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 041111 -3, authorizing the abandonment of the sixteen -foot
easement on the rear lot lines of Lots 1 through 54 in the Trailwood Subdivision, Harris County,
Texas, contingent upon the payment of fair market value.
Section 2 -767 of the Code of Ordinances, City of Baytown, provides, in part, as follows:
...upon the payment of a fee of $100.00 or the appraised market value of the easement
based upon not less than one appraisal, whichever is greater and after abandonment of
the easement, the City will deliver a quitclaim deed to the owners of the fee simple title
thereto.
The homeowners' association petitioned for this abandonment. This property was originally platted as
a utility easement for the installation of underground electrical service by the developer. Instead, the
developer installed overhead electrical service in the front of the property and these rear lot easements
have never been used for utilities. All of the other utilities companies have executed releases as to
their respective interests in the easement. The ordinance establishes the fair market value of the
easement to be 25% of the value of the land upon which the easements are located, as determined by
the latest certified appraised value by the Harris County Appraisal District. Upon a property owner's
payment of the appropriate amount, the Mayor will execute a quitclaim deed to that portion of the
easement located on the property owner's property.
Council Member Murray moved adoption of the proposed ordinance. Council Member Mahan
seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Council Members Mahan, Murray, Renteria, and Sheley.

Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 041111 -4, approving a contract with the Texas Department of
Transportation for additional supplemental funding for Phase III of the Goose Creek Stream
Greenbelt Trail.
This phase was to build a pedestrian/bicycle trail from West Texas Avenue to Britton Park. The cost
estimates for the project have increased significantly from the original nomination ($1,404,500) of the
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act Enhancement Program. Additional funds have been
made available from the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) to
supplement this project. The proposed contract amendment adds $350,000 exclusively from CMAQ
funds. No additional City funding is required. The estimated total cost of Phase III, including
construction, engineering, and testing services, is $2,560,750. CMAQ funding will total $1,156,250
and enhancement funding will total $1,404,500. With this agreement, the City should receive a rebate
from the Texas Department of Transportation after completion of the trail. The amount of the rebate
depends on the actual cost of the trail construction and could be as much as $200,000.

a. Proposed Ordinance No. 041111 -6 authorizes the payment of the water quality
assessment fees to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). These
fees fund a state program to assess the quality of the river basins of the state. This is
being done in compliance with the Federal Clean Water Act. TCEQ is required to
recover the reasonable cost of the assessment program from wastewater permit holders
and water rights holders.
The Wastewater Treatment Fee, assessed annually each October 31 in accordance with
30 TAC, Chapter 305, Subchapter M, is imposed on each permitee holding a permit
under the Texas Water Code, Chapter 26. All fees shall be deposited in a fund for the
purpose of supplementing other funds appropriated by the legislature to pay the
expenses of the Commission to administer water quality programs, consistent with the
provisions of the Texas Water Code Chapter 26, the rules and orders of the
Commission, and the provisions of the Commission permits governing waste discharge
and water treatment facilities. Point calculations are based on the daily average flow
limits and permitted parameters specific in the permits. The combined fees for Water

rental contract to Aramark Uniform Services, Inc., in the amount of $60,000. Aramark

h. Proposed Ordinance No. 041111-13 approves an Interlocal Agreement with the
Baytown Municipal Development District (MDD) providing funding for the re- striping
of Texas Avenue between Pruett Street and Commerce Street. Since the traffic patterns
would change with the re- striping, it will be necessary to have a traffic engineer develop
the layout, turning movements, and ensure ADA compliance. Cost estimates for these
design services are $12,000 - $15,000, while the actual striping application is estimated
at $20,000 to $30,000. The interlocal agreement will authorize up to $45,000 for the
