Consent Agenda
a. Proposed Ordinance No. 050324 -6 amends Chapter 6 "Alcoholic Beverages,"
Article I "In General," by adopting a new section to be numbered and entitled 6 -3
"Late hours" to authorize the sale of mixed beverages and beer between the hours
of 12 midnight and 2 a.m. on any day of the week. The proposed ordinance will
allow the continuation of the existing practice of holders of on- premise licenses to
sell alcoholic beverages during the extended or late hours. Prior to 2003 the
Alcoholic Beverage Code allowed late hours for any on- premise license holder if
the licensed premises was located in a county with a population of more than
500,000. In 2003 the Legislature amended the statute to allow late hours for
licensed premises located in a city or a county with a population of 500,000 or
more. The amendment allows an interpretation that would prohibit late hours in
Baytown. The proposed ordinance will remove the confusion and allow late
hours permits to be issued in Baytown as has been the common practice.
b. Proposed Ordinance No. 050324 -7 approves final payment of $31,120.17 to D &
W Contractors, Inc., and accepts the Baytown Nature Center Entryway Project.
The original contract was awarded to D & W Contractors, Inc., for $549,309.90
and the contract duration was 200 calendar days. Change Orders No. 1 -4 for a
total of $10,565.18 were approved administratively and increased the contract
amount to $559,875.08. Items included in these change orders were as follows:
revisions to the sanitary sewer and HVAC systems, clarification of landscape
items, additional sidewalk, additional electrical work, and widening of the
entrance road to provide easier access for buses and trailers. Change Order No 5,
also approved administratively, was a balancing change order and increased the
final contract amount by $5,268.10 to $565,143.18. Change Order Nos. 1 -5
resulted in an overall project cost increase of 2.88% and increased the contract
time to 210 calendar days. The contractor finished the project in the allotted time
and their workmanship was satisfactory.
C. Proposed Ordinance No. 050324 -8 authorizes the issuance of City of Baytown,
Texas, General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2005; authorizing the
redemption prior to maturity of certain outstanding obligations; authorizing the
advance refunding of certain outstanding obligations and the execution and
delivery of an escrow agreement and the subscription for and purchase of certain
escrowed securities. The estimated savings at today's rates would be
approximately $51,720 per year. Interest rates may change by the time that the
City locks in rates on Wednesday. Therefore, we will not know the precise
savings until the Refunding Bonds are sold.
d. Proposed Resolution No. 050324 -5 authorizes the City Manager to submit an
application to the U. S. Department of Homeland Security for, and take all further
action related to, the fiscal year 2005 Assistance to Firefighters Grant program for
the purchase of one (1) Type 1, Class IA medium duty ambulance. For the first
time, the grant program is open to "Non- affiliated Emergency Medical Service
Organizations." If awarded, the funding is proposed to be used to replace one of
our older ambulances with one similar to that purchased in the City of Baytown
FY 2004 -2005 budget.

submit an application to the U. S. Department of Homeland Security, and take all
further action related to, the fiscal year 2005 Assistance to Firefighters Grant
program for the purpose of providing equipment and training in the Fire
Department. The training and equipment will improve fire ground operational
readiness and firefighter safety. The grant is an "80/20" match grant. The grant
amount is $228,000 ($182,400 funded by grant with $45,600 local match). The
City's match will come from Capital Replacement fund and Fire Department
contract services revenues.
