Baytown plans hires to boost police and tourism budget
The council discussed boosting police staffing with 15 new full-time posts funded partly by CCPD sales tax, while expanding hotel tax funded advertising to boost Baytown as a vacation destination. Proposals include 7 police positions and new patrol and jail staff, plus funding for Bayou Bowl NHRA events and a larger chamber tourism contract. The budget totals about 99.8 million with a 1 percent raise for non civil service staff, hearing set for August 23.
