7. PROPOSED RESOLUTION
a. Consider a resolution adopting a Traffic Calming Policy for the City of Baytown.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
September 23, 2021
Page 7 of 20
Director of Public Works and Engineering Frank Simoneaux presented the item and noted that
this resolution adopts a revised Traffic Calming Policy for the City and repeals the existing
policy. The new policy was reviewed by the Council at their last meeting, which is a simplified
and more engaging process. It was revised for the calculation of speeding vehicles based on
comments from the Council and noted that staff recommended approval.
Mayor Capetillo then had those that had signed up to speak on this item to come forward and
present their comments.
Ms. Amber Villemez, resident on Tompkins Drive, noted that as she was walking her child out to
the driveway for his school bus that morning, and as he was charging down the driveway, she
noticed a car coming down the road and the driver passed the stop sign like it was invisible. The
driver pretended like she did not see the bus with its flashing lights and the stop sign. Her child
was halfway through the road, right in front of her car, and the driver sped right by him. Ms.
Villemez noticed the driver waving at the bus driver like it was nothing. She really thought she
was going to lose her child that morning, and not only did she yell at him to stop and watch the
car, but there were also kids, young kids, at the other side of the road waiting for their bus that
yelled to her son to stop. Ms. Villemez asked that if speed bumps were not an option, if they
could put cameras in the school buses or flashing lights on the stop signs as today was the worst
day of her life. Also, she requested if perhaps cops could patrol the area during bus pickups
because Tompkins Drive is very, very crazy. As she washes dishes, she can see out her window
with the stop sign in front of her house, and she can watch fifteen cars in 3 minutes pass by and
speed right through that stop sign. She noted that it is a real issue, and that day did it for her and
is ready to move because she almost lost her child.
Ms. Mary Hulen, resident on Tompkins Drive, noted that she lived next door to Ms. Villemez,
and also addressed the issue of drivers speeding through the stop sign at the corner of Tompkins
Drive and Canterbury Drive. She asked why speed bumps could not be installed on the street in
order to slow down traffic and deviate drivers from cutting through Tompkins Drive to avoid the
street lights on Massey Tompkins Drive.
Ms. Roni Lovelady, resident of Baytown, noted that she attended the meeting because she saw
Ms. Villemez' post that morning on the Next -Door Application and it brought back a lot of
memories for her from 35 years ago when she almost lost her child the same way with a similar
incident at a stop sign. She emphasized that children are our future and it is our job to protect
them from motorists that do not pay attention to the stop signs and bus flashing lights, which an
option she suggested could be to install dash cams on the school buses, but it was a traffic issue
that needed to be addressed.
Mr. Michael Hunter, resident on Canterbury Drive, commented that he had also witnessed
motorists speeding through stops signs in his neighborhood during bus routes. fie asked for the
police to patrol the area as they did in the past when he would ask friends on the police force to
watch the stop sign in front of his house, and they issued many tickets years back. However, Mr.
Hunter requested clarification on what the Traffic Calming Policy entailed and how the citizens
are able to implement it and make it work for them.

September 23, 2021
Page 8 of 20
Council Members Powell and Betancourth asked if staff could elaborate on the new process for
citizens to be able to submit complaints or issues in neighborhoods as it relates to traffic. Mr.
Simoneaux noted that the existing policy was somewhat cumbersome as it involved petitioning
and going door-to-door, getting signatures to signify support of specific traffic calming
treatment. However, the proposed new policy is more engaging with the public. It involved the
use of Baytown Engage website, in which citizens can log on to, answer about 5 questions that
starts the process, the City would then do an initial evaluation and go out and collect data. He
noted that the data is used to evaluate if there are speeders and if there is a higher traffic volume.
After that, then the results are put on the Baytown Engage website, which allows for feedback
from the public, and then staff analyzes that feedback and recommends the treatment. Therefore,
it is a much more simplified process, and easier for the public to engage in. Mr. Simoneaux
indicated that the new Traffic Calming Policy was attached to the agenda item on the City's
website so the public can access it for review.
A motion was made by Council Member Jacob Powell and seconded by Council Member Mike
Lester to approve Resolution No. 2749, related to Item 7.a. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Charles Johnson, Council
Member Chris Presley, Council Member Heather Betancourth, Council
Member Jacob Powell, and Council Member Mike Lester
Nays: None
Other: Mayor Pro Tern Laura Alvarado (Absent)
Approved
RESOLUTION NO. 2749
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN,
TEXAS, REPEALING RESOLUTION NOS. 1210, 1316, AND 1390
CONCERNING VARIOUS TRAFFIC CALMING POLICIES; ADOPTING A
TRAFFIC CALMING POLICY FOR THE CITY OF BAYTOWN; PROVIDING
A REPEALING CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE
THEREOF.
b. Consider a resolution approving the City of Baytown Investment Policy and
Strategy Statement in accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act, Section
2256.005(e) for the addition of an investment officer.
Finance Director Victor Brownlees presented the item and noted that the only amendment to the
existing policy was the addition of the name of the City's Controller, Monio Mark, as an
authorized investment officer for the City.
Council Member Presley commented that he had an issue with the fact that they were adding the
Controller as an investment officer and removing the Treasurer, since typically, treasury and
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
September 23, 2021
Page 9 of 20
controllership are separate and distinct duties for a very big reason, as that helps to maintain the
integrity of the external and internal controls of our public finances. He further noted that he did
not believe it was in the best interest of the taxpayer dollars, public finances, or checks and
balances, and would not support the amendment until he saw what qualifications in public
finance the Controller had as it related to portfolio management, portfolio risk management,
modern portfolio theory, macroeconomics, etcetera.
Mr. Brownlees suggested that he could have the discussion with the Finance Committee in
regards to the amendment, which Mayor Capetillo supported and noted that Council would then
base their decision off the Finance Committee's recommendation. Mr. Brownlees reiterated that
as the City's Chief Financial Officer, he would not have brought forward a proposal of this
nature if he, himself, was not happy with the suggestion. Furthermore, he confirmed to Council
that no single individual, including himself, at any time has the authority to disperse or invest
funds without someone else's knowledge, as the controls and responsibilities are segregated and
distributed across the department.
A motion was made by Council Member Heather Betancourth and seconded by Council Member
Chris Presley to suspend Item 7.b. for no later than sixty (60) days. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Charles Johnson, Council
Member Chris Presley, Council Member Heather Betancourth, Council
Member Jacob Powell, Council Member Mike Lester
Nays: None
Other: Mayor Pro Tern Laura Alvarado (Absent)
Approved
8. CONSENT
A motion was made by Council Member Charles Johnson and seconded by Council Member
Chris Presley to approve Consent Agenda Items 8.a. through 8.bb., as submitted. However, there
was discussion prior to the vote.
Council Member Presley inquired on the vehicle purchases from Silsbee Ford related to Item
8.d., and asked if staff had thought about obtaining a bid from a local dealership. Mayor
Capetillo noted that it was being done through BuyBoard, therefore, it was his understanding that
local entities can bid as well through the clearing house and then H-GAC, who runs the
BuyBoard, ensures that there are three valid bids submitted for competitive procurement.
The vote for the motion on the table was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Charles Johnson, Council
Member Chris Presley, Council Member Heather Betancourth, Council
Member Jacob Powell, Council Member Mike Lester

C. Consider a resolution nominating a person to serve on the Board of Directors of the
Harris County Appraisal District.
City Manger Rick Davis presented the item and noted that Mr. Mike Sullivan, who had been
serving on the Board of Directors since 2017, is a former appraiser and based on his desire to
continue to serve, staff recommended reappointing him for another term at this time.
Council Member Betancourth commented that she had a vague understanding of the position
itself and what Mr. Sullivan's role was on the Board of Directors of the Harris County Appraisal
District, as well as who he is and what is his philosophy on appraisal and taxing. She noted that
they have had several discussions in regards to property tax relief and giving that financial relief
to citizens, but it always comes back to, "Well, it's not the rate, it is the appraisal," and the
appraisal has always really been out of their purview or control, therefore, she requested more
information on the Board.
City Attorney Karen Horner noted that the City gets to nominate someone, along with all the
other cities in Harris County, except for Houston since Houston has their own nominee. You are
asked to nominate someone to be on that Board, and that Board serves much like Council, as
policymakers, they hire the Chief Appraiser and they set policy. They do not, however, go in and
actually do the appraisals themselves, but rather sit as a policymaker. She noted that this would
be the City's nominee, and then later they will have a chance to vote on all the different
nominees. They can pick the one that Council nominated or maybe somebody else at that point.

Council Member Betancourth noted that since this may be their only influence on the Appraisal
District, and asked if it was a time -sensitive nomination, which Ms. Horner indicated that the
City's nomination had to be provided by October 151h, however, they do have another Council
meeting prior to the deadline if they would like to wait to vote at that time in order to gather
more information about Mr. Sullivan on his opinion and views.
A motion was made by Council Member Heather Betancourth and seconded by Council Member
Chris Presley to suspend Item 9.c., to the October 14, 2021, Council meeting agenda. The vote
was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Charles Johnson, Council
Member Chris Presley, Council Member Heather Betancourth, Council
Member Jacob Powell, and Council Member Mike Lester
Nays: None
Other: Mayor Pro Tern Laura Alvarado (Absent)
Approved
