City of Beaumont Council Agenda Item UIE! g TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager MEETING DATE: June 24, 2003 AGENDA MEMO DATE: June 17, 2003 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a request for a zone change from RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) to LI (Light Industrial) District for the property at 2055 Hemlock. RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approval of the request for a zone change from RM-H(Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density)to LI(Light Industrial)District for the property at 2055 Hemlock. BACKGROUND Joseph Durousseau Jr., the property owner of 2055 Hemlock, originally made this request in June, 2001. M r. D urousseau wanted to open a welding shop. At that time, the Planning Manager recommended denial of this request. That denial was based upon the fact that it was spot zoning. At the original public hearing,there was discussion about ExxonMobil's plans for the old Charlton- Pollard school site which is just north of the subject property. That property was zoned RM-H. The Planning Commission decided to table Mr.Durousseau's request until such time that a zone change was granted for the Charlton-Pollard school site. In April,2003,ExxonMobil asked for and was granted a zone change to LI for the Charlton-Pollard school site. Mr. Durousseau has now asked that his request be considered again. BUDGETARY IMPACT None. PREVIOUS ACTION At a Regular Meeting held June 16,2003,the Planning Commission voted 6:1 to approve the request for a zone change from RM-H(Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density)to LI(Light Industrial)District for the property at 2055 Hemlock.

RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends the award of a bid for the purchase and installation of two (2) IBM iSeries 9406-810 mainframe computer systems in the amount of $257,265 to Sirius Computer Solutions of San Antonio,Texas. The computers will replace the systems in City Hall and the Police Station. BACKGROUND IBM Corporation is the sole source provider of the IBM iSeries 9406-810 systems and only distributes their iSeries through IBM Premier Business Partner companies. Proposals were requested from five(5) IBM Premier Business Partners but only one (1) company submitted a proposal. In 1998, the City upgraded both the Police and City Hall mainframe computers to the IBM Series 620. While this provided sufficient and ample growth opportunities from 1998 to the present, it has become outdated and is inadequate for the City's needs. The City Hall system, an IBM 620 with 79 Gigabytes (GB) of disk storage and 1,536 Megabytes (MB) of memory, has 1,001 users and is at 80%utilization. Software applications operating on the City Hall mainframe computer system include Water Utilities billing, Finance, Payroll, Purchasing, Code Enforcement, Fleet Management, Environmental Health, 911 Police hot site, Fire 911, and Municipal Court. Annual upgrades of the current software applications require additional memory and storage space and records from each application continue to increase as data is stored from prior years for user retrieval. As utilization approaches 90%,the system processes data much slower than acceptable and the processing platform becomes unstable with a high probability of system errors. Users are currently experiencing considerable delays receiving reports and data during periods ofhigh usage. Purchase of IBM Mainframe Computer June 20, 2003 Page 2 The proposed IBM Model 810 for City Hall includes 4,096 MB of memory with a maximum of 16 GB, 315.72 GB of disk storage with a maximum of 14 Terabytes(TB)and two internal servers with 2,048 MB of memory. The proposed system will eliminate the need for two smaller independent servers currently used to operate the Facility Management, Civic Center, Convention and Tourism, Juvenile Suspect Database, shared drive, and Water Utilities, Streets and Parks Work Management software applications. These applications will be placed on the mainframe computer, relinquishing the smaller servers to be used for an upcoming e-commerce software application. The same model is proposed for replacement of the IBM 620 system located at the Police Station where utilization by 446 users is currently at 64%. The proposed system will include 2,046 MB of memory with a maximum of 16 GB and 105.24 GB of disk storage with a maximum of 14 TB. Software applications assigned to this system are 911 Computer Aided Dispatch, Records Management, Pawn Shop and Evidence Inventory, Case Imaging, Personnel Module, offense and crime reporting, mobile data computers,problem tracking and Fire 911 hot site. A hot site provides Police and Fire with a backup on both systems to prevent the loss of dispatching capabilities in the event of a system or power failure. Although, utilization of the system does not exceed the recommended reserve, the current operating system will not support upgrades for future software applications. Upgrading to the new systems will increase processing speed, eliminate two (2) small servers, decrease annual hardware and software maintenance costs, provide adequate growth for 5-7 years, provide immediate access to reports and data, and restore functions lost due to software upgrades not supported by current operating systems. Replacement of the mainframe computer systems were scheduled for Fiscal Year 2004 budget consideration. The IS staff researched the market for current pricing and discovered that the systems were available at a substantial savings if purchased by June 30, 2003. The following chart indicates the savings to be realized from purchasing the system prior to June 30, 2003: Description Price prior to June 30 Price after June 30 Savings iSeries 810 City Hall $90,142 $180,284 $90,142 iSeries 810 Police $68,479 $136,958 $68,479 Installation $9,700 $9,700 0 Total $168,321 $326,942 $158,621 In addition,there is considerable savings to be realized from the purchase of a five(5)year hardware maintenance and a three(3)year software support agreement. At the present annual rate, a five(5) year hardware maintenance and a three (3) software support agreement for the IBM Series 620 system totals $281,563. The cost of the maintenance and support agreements for the proposed systems is $88,944, a savings of$192,619. Purchase of IBM Maintain Computers June 20, 2003 Page 3 Description Proposed Current Savings Price Price City Hall Software Support (3 Year) $10,910 $96,270 $85,360 City Hall Hardware Maintenance(5 Year) $39,371 $55,034 $15,663 Police Software Support (3 Year) $10,910 $76,770 $65,860 Police Hardware Maintenance(5 year) $27,753 $53,489 $25,736 Total $88,944T $281,563 $192,619 The cost for both systems including equipment, maintenance and installation is$257,265. Based on the potential savings if the system were purchased prior to June 30, it was decided to proceed with the purchase from this budget year's funds. BUDGETARY IMPACT The cost of the systems will be distributed as follows: Police Confiscated Goods Fund $111,992 Capital Reserve Fund $75,240 Solid Waste Fund $6,270 Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund(CVB) $141 Municipal Court Technology Fund $3,181 Water Fund $10,160 IS Division $50,281 Although, this project was not budgeted, there have been savings in the above stated accounts to offset the cost. In addition, the City will be reimbursed a pro-rata share of its prepaid software maintenance. Reimbursements due the City, along with the systems minimal trade-in value total $29,633. PREVIOUS ACTION None. SUBSEQUENT ACTION None. RECOMMENDED BY City Manager, Central Services Director, and Chief of Police. Purchase of IBM Maintain Computers June 20, 2003 Page 4 RECOMMENDED MOTION Approve/Deny the purchase and installation of two (2) IBM iSeries 810 mainframe computers, a three(3)year software support agreement and a five(5)year hardware maintenance agreement in the amount of$257,265 from Sirius Computer Solutions. 6 June 24,2003 Consider authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for the presentation of a Broadway Theatrical Series V~ City of Beaumont �• Council Agenda Item � g TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Kirby Richard, Central Services Director MEETING DATE: June 24, 2003 AGENDA MEMO DATE: June 18, 2003 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for the presentation of a Broadway Theatrical Series. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Jam Theatricals, Ltd. (Jam) to partner with the City for the presentation of a three-show Broadway Theatrical Series at the Julie Rogers Theatre. BACKGROUND In April 2000, City Council approved an agreement with Theatre League of Louisiana (TLL) to collaborate with the City for the first of a three-show Broadway Theatrical Series. Due to the overwhelming success of the inaugural season, the City was able to realize a net show revenue of approximately $19,000. Unfortunately, the following season failed to generate revenues as substantial as the first. This, along with an aggressive three-show performance of"Cats"and its considerable financial risks, prompted the City to allow TLL to present the series independently. The third season was extremely well received. However, prior to the last show, TLL filed for bankruptcy due to financial investments not connected with the Beaumont series. The last show of the series, "Saturday Night Fever,"was presented with additional financial support from Hibernia Bank, the series' sponsor. Due to TLL's financial condition,they are no longer in a position to present a series. However,the series was an overall success and there is still a desire to continue the tradition that has been cultivated over the past three years. Taking this into account, it is requested that the City enter into a partnership agreement with Jam to provide the necessary services to present such a production. Broadway Theatrical Series Agreement June 18, 2003 Page 2 Jam has agreed to accept all risk associated with the season and the presentation of shows. They will cover 100%of any losses associated with the series,leaving the City with basically no financial risk. At the end of the season, Jam will pay the City ten-percent (10%) of all profits derived from the presentation of the series. The amount of profit is determined by adding all show revenues from the individual presentations to any sponsorship money received and subtracting associated expenses. The City is responsible for processing subscription ticket sales,along with phone orders and walk-up sales on the night of the performance. Credit card usage fees incurred for series ticket sales will be combined with other expenses to determine profitability of the series. Building rental fees will be received by the City from the 10%profit sharing at the end of the season. Jam is responsible for all marketing and plans to work with local agencies for advertising placement. They will maintain public liability insurance coverage for venue, naming the City as an additional insured. Event staffing costs for all performances will also be deducted from revenues, with Jam accepting the risk if there is a financial loss. The term ofthe proposed agreement is for three years,but provides an evergreen clause which allows at least three years to be remaining at any given time. As one year expires, another year is added to the term. This allows Jam to be working a couple of years in advance to secure the best shows possible. The City does have the option of dissolving its relationship with Jam if it so desires. Two years notice must be given by the City of its intent to change the terms of the agreement. This provides some security to Jam in case they already have the future seasons booked. The following titles and dates have been tentatively secured for the proposed 2003/2004 season: Show Title Appearance Date Seussical November 10, 2003 Fame December 6, 2003 Unsinkable Molly Brown March 7, 2004 Series tickets will be priced at$45,$40 and$30 per show,depending on the desired seating location. The production of "Greater Tuna" for October 24 - 26, 2003 will also be offered to season subscribers but will not be part of the series. Jam is also attempting to present David Copperfield in the spring of 2004 but this has not been confirmed. Copperfield would be offered to season subscribers but, in an effort to keep prices affordable,would not be included in the series. A copy of the substantial agreement is attached for review. Broadway Theatrical Series Agreement June 18, 2003 Page 3 BUDGETARYIMPACT The City will not assume any financial risk but additional revenue above the facilities established rental rates could be received. PREVIOUS ACTION None. SUBSEQUENT ACTION None. RECOMMENDED BY City Manager, Central Services Director and Convention Facilities Manager.

Dickinson. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Receipt and Release Agreement associated with the final payment under the settlement of the Estate of David E. Dickinson. BACKGROUND David E. Dickinson, a resident of Washington, D.C., grew up in Beaumont and spent many years working at the Beaumont Public Library. His will makes a very substantial bequeath to the library to be used for the purchase of books(not computer software) selected by the Director of the Public Libraries of the Beaumont Public Library System with the approval of the Beaumont Library Commission. On January 22,2003,the City received the primary portion of the amount willed to the City. A little over$40,000 in cash was retained until it was determined that there were no taxes due on the Estate. The attorneys who probated the Estate now wish to forward that money to the City of Beaumont and ask that the City Manager execute a Receipt and Release Agreement which would require the City to promptly return amounts to the attorney for the Estate as necessary to cover any claim for taxes that might be filed against the attorney as a personal representative of the Estate. BUDGETARY IMPACT This action will provide additional funds for the purchase of books for the Beaumont Public Library System. PREVIOUS ACTION The Council earlier authorized the receipt of the devise. SUBSEQUENT ACTION No subsequent action by the City Council is anticipated. RECOMMENDED BY City Manager and City Attorney. RECOMMENDED MOTION Approve/Deny a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Receipt and Release Agreement in the matter of the Estate of David E. Dickinson, Deceased. wnr City of Beaumont •�• Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Kirby Richard, Central Services Director MEETING DATE: June 24, 2003 AGENDA MEMO DATE: June 17, 2003 REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval to award a bid for the purchase of three(3) check valves for use by the Water Utilities Division. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends award of a bid for the purchase of three(3) 18" check valves in the amount of$38,946.00 from Mid-Tex Valve Sales of Lakehills, Texas. BACKGROUND The valves are to be used to replace the existing valves in the Wall Street and Avenue C sewer lift station, which have deteriorated to a point of disrepair due to the corrosive environment within the station. The specified valves utilize stainless steel components and will provide a significantly longer life than the cast iron valves being replaced, which have been in service for approximately 20 years. Bid notices were provided to seven (7) vendors, with four (4) responding with bids as reflected in the attached bid tabulation. Water Utilities personnel have determined that the lower bidders on the check valves did not meet specifications, particularly with regard to construction of the internal components and the size of the valves. The size and fit of the valves are critical in order to tie into the existing piping and pumps. The valves must be fabricated to fit the application, as the size required is irregular with respect to the industry. The primary exceptions to specifications by each of the lower bidders are as follow: • Hugh M. Cunningham - Took exception to allowing repairs on the valve seat without removing the valve from the line. The seat is the mechanism allowing tight shut-off of the line, and must be replaceable without removal due to time and expense constraints inherent with valve removal and bypass. Purchase of Three(3)Check Valves June 17, 2003 Page 2 • Rural Pipe - Requires additional filler flanges due to improper sizing. This compromises the integrity of the seal. • Golden Triangle Pipe & Water - Quotation stated the valves do not meet size specifications. This compromises the integrity of the seal. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funds are available for this expenditure in the Water Utilities Fund. PREVIOUS ACTION None. SUBSEQUENT ACTION None. RECOMMENDED BY City Manager, Central Services Director and Public Works Director.
