Cedar Bayou Water District Contract Sparks City Dispute
Baytown council remains split over whether a pre annexation contract by Cedar Bayou Water District No. 30 directors binds the city. The document promised five years of employment and a pay raise to two district employees, who were working in San Antonio over the weekend amid broader debates on integration. The Sun argues the district had no authority to enter the contract, leaving its validity uncertain as the dispute continues.
