Consider Resolution No. 1 Authorizing an Agreement with the City of
Baytown for Jail, Traffic and Investigation Services, and Jail and
Communications Improvements
The Crime Control and Prevention District is a separate legislative body
from the City Council. The City, with the financial assistance of the District,
agrees to develop, organize, and manage certain programs of the district.
A Traffic Division will be created within the City of Baytown Police
Department comprised of six officers with the primary responsibility for enhancing
traffic safety. Investigation Operations will create one full -time detective position
designated to investigate incidents involving family violence; two full -time
positions designated to investigate crimes by juveniles; and one full -time position
designated to address chronic truancy. Jail Operations will create new jail
personnel positions while jail improvements will provide the additional resources
to build a jail facility compliant with State Jail Commission Mandates.
Communication improvements will provide officers with tools needed to perform
their duties and ensure equipment is FCC compliant. In addition, these
improvements will provide airtime in order for emergency calls to be handled
more efficiently and effectively.
The City is required to submit a verbal or brief written report of the
services performed and funds expended after the close of each fiscal year. The
Agreement covers the entire five -year initial term of the District and can only be
terminated for cause after notice and an opportunity to cure has been given.
In response to inquiry from Council, the City Manager said that collection
of the sales tax would start in July and payments in September.
In response to inquiry from Council, the City Manager said that it would be
necessary for funds to be expended in the areas approved by voters although
there might be some flexibility. He said that one possibility would be to pay off
the bonds sooner.
Council Member Almendarez moved to approve the Agreement; Council
Member Escontrias seconded the motion. The vote follows:
Ayes: Board Members Almendarez, Escontrias,
Godwin, and Sheley
