3. REPORTS
a. Receive and discuss a presentation from Build Baytown I, LLC, regarding the
development of a public golf course at Evergreen Park.
Economic Development Manager Bret Gardella introduced the item regarding the development of
a public golf course at Evergreen Park. Mr. Gardella invited Mr. Rio Valeriano to speak on behalf
of Build Baytown I, LLC about the golf course. Mr. Valeriano provided a brief biography of
himself and introduced Mr. Richard Buckton, a Golf Course Architect. Mr. Valeriano noted that
Mr. Buckton cultivated a concept where Baytown would have a first of its kind, eighteen-hole,
championship golf course at the Evergreen site.
(Zoom)Mr. Richard Buckton discussed his thoughts and features about the property. He noted that
one of the challenges in proposing the development for the subject property had been due to the
limited amount of land. With only 105 acres, Mr. Buckton relayed they only had the three of the
following options: 1) a nine-hole golf course of par-35 and 3,100 yards; 2) an eighteen-hole golf
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
February 24,2022
Page 3 of 12
course of all par-3s all being 160 or 175 yards; or 3)a 6,200-yard par-70 with eight par-4s, six par-
3s, and four par-5s of an eighteen-hole golf course. Mr. Buckton explained the different layouts,
an aerial image of the overall plan, and the sequencing of the holes in greater detail through a slide
presentation, with the assistance of Mr. Valeriano.
Mr. Valeriano then introduced the Mr. Mark Mattingly with Operations of the Golf Course, who
was also tuned in through Zoom. Mr. Mattingly briefly expanded on the previously discussed
design concept. He spoke on behalf of the operations and services provided by Landscapes
Unlimited under their Landscapes Golf Management division. The fundamental services of their
management company revolved around four key items: 1) food and beverage, 2) agronomy, 3)
financial management,and 4)marketing/revenue management. Landscapes Golf Management had
specialists for each key item and regional support teams out in the fields as their full-time job. Mr.
Mattingly continued to discuss the evolution and departmental structure of their company that
separated them from other competitors. Mr. Mattingly displayed images of their golf course
constructions as well as their company's key leaders that would ensure the project's success
through the slide presentation. Mr. Mattingly then differed to the digitally-present representatives
of Landscapes Unlimited, Mr. Jake Riekstins and Mr. Jack Morgan, who similarly introduced
themselves and the construction side of their company.
(Zoom)Television Producer Jeff Tinnell spoke on behalf of the tourism and promotional aspect of
the future golf course. Mr. Tinnell discussed the different areas they could document for different
types of channel outlets to bring in golf enthusiasts. Mr. Tinnell gave a few stats regarding the
value of golf tourism, and believed he could create promotional content for the City of Baytown
to capture that audience.
Mr. David Hinkle, who was present at the meeting, unveiled the brand name of the golf course, T-
36 at Baytown. The name was developed by the "T" signifying golf tee and "36" signifying Mr.
Buckton's vision and the fact that, on any given week, you can play a total of 36 holes. Beyond
the branding, Mr. Hinkle discussed how the golf course would be a great asset to the Baytown
community as a gathering spot and a start to the growth of the south side of Baytown.
With that being the end of the presentation, Mayor Capetillo noted several individuals had signed
up to speak regarding this item and asked them to come forward to present their comments.
Mr. David Kadjar noted that he favored Baytown having a golf course, yet challenged Council to
consider citizens as well to make the business deal work for everyone.
Dr. Chris Warford indicated that he had lived in Baytown his entire life, and his dad was one of
the original members of the Old Goose Creek Country Club, so felt like he had some experience
in what he would like to see Baytown do. He spoke in favor of the golf course as presented and
noted that although citizens want a regular eighteen-hole golf course, he hoped Council would
consider that what was presented offered something that can happen sooner and quickly, rather
than waiting a long time from now. Dr. Warford noted the golf course would be a valuable asset
for Baytown and they need to remember it would benefit our schools, our kids, and would be an
opportunity to bring golf back to Baytown in so many ways.
Before continuing to the next speaker, Mayor Capetillo took a point of privilege and recognized
that they had School Board President, Mr. Richard Clem, in attendance of the meeting.

Mr. David Isaac, resident of Baytown,noted that he approved the golf course due to golf bringing
culture and athletics to Baytown. He noted with the developing mall, the golf course, the Hotel
Convention Center, and the possible Battleship, there could be something cohesive here in
Baytown to create a unique experience. Mr. Isaac's closing comment was for Council to give the
golf course a chance and to work a little harder to keep the company in check unlike Fidelis with
the San Jacinto Mall development.
Mr. Chet Theiss expressed his reservations over the proposition as he had hoped for a traditional
eighteen-hole golf course and discussed how the compression of that to a nine-hole course could
have safety issues. Mr. Theiss petitioned Council to acquire some of the adjacent properties to
create a more traditional course.
With there being no one else registered to speak, Mayor Capetillo opened the floor for questions
and comments from Council.
Mayor Pro Tem Presley expressed his reluctance in Baytown having anything that would be the
"first of its kind."He acknowledged that the compressed course was a patent-pending concept,but
discussed the concept's shortcoming in the perspective of the citizens he spoke to. Mayor Pro Tern
Presley opined the single largest issue was how the process was being conducted and that
discussing the project out in an open session should have been the first step to allow Council to
deliberate other options, and then with clear direction, citizens could have their preferred type of
course that could have been advertised nationally for an extended period of time.
Council Member Lester commented he was originally one of the naysayers on the project because
of the potential cost. He did, however, enjoy the presentation as it answered several of his
questions. Yet, Council Member Lester still shared the same concerns as Mr. Theiss in regards to
safety, as well as the over the functionality of the compressed golf course. He made note that they
were still in the process of negotiating, and that now they had to really figure out the details to
make sure the proposition was a good deal for the city. The golf course would be in Council
Member Lester's Council District, so he would be pushing for that right deal. He additionally
pushed for getting the project out in public and appreciated the developers that came in to present
the development. He cautions that rushing in to the project would result in mistakes and problems
that would arise later down the line which Council did not want to happen.
Council Member Alvarado commented over the project being the "first of its kind" as not a bad
thing. They would have to be the first in something at some point in time and Council had, in fact,
done just that with the Ninja Course at Pirates Bay. Council Member Alvarado added Council
continuously talked about spurring innovation within the City. She did,however, wanted to make
sure to look at the project carefully to ensure it would be good for the public and the City at large.
Not only was Council Member Alvarado looking at the project itself, but of the development that
would come around that area. She was not interested in seeing any more logistic centers around
99,but hoped for more retail,restaurants, and other businesses around there to support the project.
Council Member Alvarado lastly noted that she was never in favor of a municipal golf course, so
the proposition could be beneficial.
Mayor Capetillo commented many individuals came to him stating Baytown needed a golf course
and here they were now with that exact opportunity. Mayor Capetillo noted they would be mindful
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
February 24,2022
Page 5of12
from the business aspect, and because of that he would not focus on the golf course itself The golf
course would be a catalyst for development. His caution with a traditional 18-hole golf course was
that they would be just another municipal course and believes their golf course would have to be
different. Council spent a lot of effort to bring in economic development, and they now had an
investment opportunity that would be small in comparison to the development possibility of the
area. Mayor Capetillo ended on the note that they would be cautious from a financial, safety, and
time-sensitive standpoint and that Council would continue the conversation.
Mayor Pro Tern Presley clarified he stood behind his original comments and clarified that the basis
of his statements was due to the loss of money. He relayed there were deals Council wished they
could go back and spend more time on in order to be more efficient financially.
Mayor Capetillo closed the item reiterating his favorable opinion regarding the golf course's
uniqueness and economic development opportunity.
b. Receive the City of Baytown's Quarterly Financial and Investment Reports for the
Quarter Ending December 31, 2021.
Finance Director Victor Brownlees presented to Council Baytown's Quarterly Financial and
Investment Report. In the first quarter(ending in December), Baytown received over one-third of
the entirety of the city's property tax receipts for the year. Sales tax continued to be, in Mr.
Brownlees words, incredibly robust as it was 17% up year over year.
The General Fund, on the revenue side,was healthy largely due to IDA revenues and 85%of those
IDA revenues had already came in at the end of December. The City did have until the end of
January and Mr.Brownlees anticipated they would have almost 100%collection by that stage.The
city was down on expenditures. Mr. Brownlees believed that was a reflection of the ongoing issues
all departments were having in filling vacancies. The upside of that, on the financial side,was that
the city was at 22%in spending at the quarter mark of the year.
On the Aquatics Fund, Mr. Brownlees noted the main season had not started yet and that the fund,
prior to the main season, yielded a surplus. Thus, the Aquatics Fund had the ability to repay a
portion of its loan to the General Fund.
The Hotel/Motel Fund remained hot at 28% in the first quarter. Mr. Brownlees relayed the City's
revenues from that hot tax were incredibly healthy and on the spending side, they were only at a
4%.
The Water and Sewer Fund, Sanitation Fund, and Storm Water Utility Fund all yielded surpluses
in the first quarter. Mr. Brownlees commented the Sanitation Fund in particular had a huge loss a
number of years ago where it was in red. He stated that was no longer so. The Street Maintenance
Fund was healthy because of sales taxes, and the expenditures was where it was expected to be.
Investments did have a change quarter over quarter. In looking at the markets, Mr. Brownlees
stated industries would inevitably go up, but perhaps not as high as anticipated given the current
state of events and its effect on the market. Mr. Brownlees conveyed they would be moving lower
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
February 24,2022
Page 6 of 12
from the pools and in to other higher-yielding investments over the next couple of quarters. With
that, Mr. Brownlees anticipated earnings would start to increase.
All in all, Mr. Brownlees summarized the city had a good report for the first quarter.
4. PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS
a. Consider a resolution granting the petition for the proposed annexation of
approximately 18.95 acres of land situated in the William Hilbus Survey, Abstract No. 336,
Harris County, Texas, located generally south of Interstate-Highway 10 between Thompson
Road and Wade Road.
Planning Development Director Martin Scribner presented the item and explained that it was
concerning the nineteen acres south of Interstate-Highway 10 between Thompson Road and Wade
Road. The applicant additionally applied for a rezoning to Light Industrial, as properties east of
the area were similarly zoned as well. Mr. Scribner relayed staff had been working with the
applicant for some time to make sure all was appropriate. The item was for the application for
annexation, so Council would see more on the matter in coming months.
Mayor Capetillo noted an individual, Mr. Nick Pontikes, had signed to speak; however, they had
no further comments.
A motion was made by Council Member Charles Johnson and seconded by Council Member Laura
Alvarado to approve Resolution No. 2773, related to Item 4.a. The vote was as follows:

b. Consider a resolution granting consent to the inclusion of 2.1131 acres out of the
George Ellis League, 21, in Harris County, Texas, being located North of Wallisville Road,
East of Garth Road, North of I-10 and West of N. Main Street, into Spring Meadows
Municipal Utility District.
Interim City Attorney Trevor Fanning presented the item and noted the item was in regards to the
Municipal Utility District (MUD) asking Baytown's permission to annex two acres in to its
territory. That MUD in particular had sought annexations twice previously in the fall. Some of the
conditions that staff had been working on was a Strategic Partnership Agreement that would notify
the City of bonds and things of that nature.
A motion was made by Council Member Heather Betancourth and seconded by Member Charles
Johnson to approve Resolution No. 2774,related to Item 4.b. However,there was discussion prior
to the vote.
Council Member Lester relayed Council had discussions with some of the MUDs in that area. He
inquired if the item would impact closing the city limits off again and Mayor Capetillo clarified
the item was actually concerning West Meadows. Mr. Fanning added the area was two acres and
believed it was for proposed gas stations. Council Member Lester stated the City did not need to
annex anymore property and raised the question to make sure they were not ignoring one MUD
and picking another.
Mayor Pro Tern Presley interjected that with the MUD policy, the item did not really meet the
guidelines on minimum acreage size. City Manager Rick Davis responded that the guidelines
pertained specifically and generally to create a MUD or a Public Improvement District ("PID").
The City did not have those same kinds of guidelines for the annexation of existing or contiguous
areas.
The vote for the motion on the table was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Mayor Pro
Tem Chris Presley, Council Member Charles Johnson, Council Member
Heather Betancourth, and Council Member Jacob Powell
