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. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 24,2022 Page 4 of 12 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: Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Mayor Pro Tem Chris Presley, Council Member Charles Johnson, Council Member Heather Betancourth, Council Member Jacob Powell, and Council Member Mike Lester Nays: None Approved RESOLUTION NO. 2773 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, GRANTING THE PETITION OF PORT 10 LOGISTICS, LLC, FOR THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 18.95 ACRES OF LAND IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, LOCATED GENERALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 10 BETWEEN THOMPSON ROAD AND WADE ROAD, AND SITUATED IN THE WILLIAM HILBUS SURVEY, ABSTRACT NO. 336, BAYTOWN, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS; AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF A SERVICE PLAN; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF.

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.
