Council discussed hiring an executive search firm with projected costs between twenty and twenty five thousand or a broader search with staff involvement and targeted recruitment for minority or female candidates.

The panel also approved a fifty thousand dollar increase to the Baytown Chamber contract to promote events at Houston Raceway Park as part of Race Week. This marketing could boost nearly one million dollars in local sales and hotel tax revenue. funds come from a three hundred seventy five thousand hotel motel contingency. The meeting will be rebroadcast on Time Warner Channel 16.
