sewer and water rates is being re-
quested. Council is expected do
adopt an ordinance specifying the
rate increase in its next meeting.

Councilman Fred Philips mov-

cond from Councilman Roy
Fuller.
Baytown officials believe they
have avoided the problem of hur-
ricane cleanup crews cheating, a
situation which could jeopardize
federal government refunds in
area counties.
Although the federal refund
could be as much as 75 percent for
eligible hurricane-related expen-
ditures including brush pickup,
Baytown officials conservatively
estimate the city will get a 50 per-
cent refund.
; In order to receive the refund,
governing entities must docu-
ment all expenditures and the
federal government must then ap-
prove them.

'about Baytown’s documentation,
