City council weighs three year terms and vacancy rules
Baytown officials debate increasing council terms to three years to align with state law on resignations when running for other offices and to require special elections for vacancies. A backup plan on filling seats may be proposed if the three year term measure fails. Council must choose ballot language by March 13 for May votes.

Texas moves toward mandatory premis es identification program
Tracking rules made effective through July 2008 require a $10 renewal every two years and would push toward an electronic livestock tracking system. Wisconsin already requires it, with Texas poised to follow. Critics like Baytown resident Robin Forrest oppose the plan as an early step toward animal tracking, arguing it unfairly targets horse owners who do not eat horses. The Texas Animal Health Commission will vote later this month, with a public comment period ending Monday.
