Polyacrylamide Cationic Emulsion Liquid Polymer is used to dewater municipal biological waste sludge. Annual usage is estimated to be 50,000 pounds. Three (3) vendors responded and each company's product bid was tested by the Water Reclamation Division to determine dosage requirements. The bids received are as follow: COMPANY MANUFACTURER/ UNIT PRICE REQUIRED COST PER DRY TON PRODUCT NAME DOSAGE/ BASED ON REQ. TON DOSAGE Fort Bend Services,Inc. Ciba/FBS-5400 $0.895/lb. 10.5 lbs. $9.40/dry ton Stafford,TX Polydyne Inc. Polydyne Inc./Clarifloc $0.903/lb. 10.8 lbs. $9.76/dry-ton Parsippany,NJ SW-330 ClearValue,Inc. C1earValue,Inc./CV5580 $ 1.040/lb. 15.7 lbs. $ 16.33/dry ton Su garland,TX The bid specifications stated that the award would be based on a cost per dry ton basis. The actual cost per dry ton was determined by multiplying the price per pound by the pounds of polymer needed to process a ton of sludge. The lowest bid using this formula is submitted by Fort Bend Services,Inc. It is therefore recommended that the contract for Polyacrylamide Cationic Emulsion Liquid Polymer be awarded to Fort Bend Services,Inc. at a price of$0.895 per pound. Last year's bid was awarded at$0.945 per pound. The approximate annual expenditure is$44,750. Finance concurs that funds are available for this expenditure in the Water Reclamation Division's budget. INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM 8 City of Beaumont,Texas A - L Date: February 11, 1999 Central Services Department To: Ray A. Riley, City Manager From: Kirby Richard,Central Services Director Subject: Purchase of a Mailing Machine COMMENTS Authorization is requested to purchase a mailing machine budgeted in fiscal year 1999 through the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program. The program allows cities to participate in purchasing goods at contracted prices offered to the State. By participating with the State, cities can reduce the number of bids processed and take advantage of volume discounts. Local distributors are responsible for maintenance, service, and delivery of units in their authorized areas. Currently,the City uses a Pitney Bowes 6100 mailing system purchased in 1991. Included in the system is the mailing machine, an electronic scale, and an accounting system. Last year, the manufacturer discontinued the mailing machine and repair parts are no longer readily available. The accounting system is not year 2000 compliant and will soon become obsolete. The mail room processes approximately 175,000 first class pieces, 30,000 parcel post packages, and 16,000 certified, priority, and express mail pieces per year averaging 850 pieces per day. Outgoing mail is sorted by weight and class to determine the postage rate. First class letters weighing two (2) ounces or less are eligible for postage rate discounts if letters are pre-sorted and bar coded. Letters are posted at the reduced rate and forwarded to a contracted vendor for sorting by zip code, application of bar code, and delivery to the post office. The price paid to the contracted vendor per each first class mail piece is $ .04 resulting in a total rate of$ .31 for first class letters weighing up to one ounce. Rates for all other mail including parcel post, certified, priority, and express mail pieces are posted in house and delivered to the post office. Features required on a new postage machine include automatic sorting by weight, automatic calculation of postage,high speed application of postage,and a customized accounting system for tracking each department's mail costs. There are three postage systems available through the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program. All three were evaluated for compliance with the City's requirements. The following is an evaluation of each system: Purchase of a Mailing Machine February 11, 1999 Page 2 Pitney Bowes - Paragon II (American Made): The Paragon II processes 240 mail pieces per minute. The machine automatically stacks, weighs, and posts various sizes and thicknesses without manual sorting, including large flat mail pieces as thick as 5/8". Currently, large flat mail pieces require the manual application of a postage tape. Pitney Bowes is the only vendor providing "Weight on the Way." This feature weighs mail pieces up to 16 ounces,automatically sets the meter, and stamps each mail piece. The feeding deck and stacker both are large capacity, capable of processing 205 mail pieces without manual intervention. The feeding deck accepts mixed(size, sealed, or open) mail pieces without sorting. Up to 30 pounds of parcel post packages can be stacked on the scale at one time and as each parcel is removed from the scale, a postage tape is printed. Since the system is computerized, it is capable of automatically changing the date,calculating the cost of each mail piece by adding the presort and bar code costs, and printing monthly reports. Pitney Bowes provided a list of nine vendors using the Paragon 11 mailing system. All vendors are satisfied with the Pitney Bowes equipment and their service. Service is provided by the local Pitney Bowes service center. Franicotyp-Postalia M-5000 (German Made): The M-5000 processes 200 pieces per minute. Each mail piece must be handled and weighed before posting, i.e., by separating letters thicker than 1/4", separating sealed and unsealed pieces, and separating presort from non-presort pieces. Mail pieces thicker than 1/4" must be posted with a pressure sensitive strip. Pressure sensitive strips are also used on larger flat pieces. Problems experienced during onsite testing of this machine included the inability of separating pressure sensitive strips at perforated line, the pressure sensitive strip drawer jamming, water leakage from sealing system, and slow processing time. In addition,the postage meter date must be changed manually,the system is not password protected, rendering the system and postage unsecured, and the accounting system does not print a record of postage used or number of pieces posted. Service is provided by Franicotyp-Postalia in Houston. There are no Franicotyp-Postalia postage machines installed locally and references were not provided. Friden Neopost SM85 (French Made): The SM85 processes 200 mail pieces per minute. The SM85 is equipped with a large stacking capacity and is capable of stacking various sizes, but all pieces must weigh the same to be posted correctly. Mail pieces must be weighed individually. The machine processes letters up to %" thick,however,the operator must manually change thickness selection. The accounting system prints preprogramed reports but does not record additional costs such as presorting and bar coding. Service is provided in Beaumont. References from two(2)San Antonio companies and one (1)Beaumont company were provided. One San Antonio company did not respond to our request for a reference. The second company stated the departmental accounting system does not meet their needs and they are not satisfied with the training or service provided on this model. According to the local vendor,Neopost released the SM85 for sale in January , 1999. Purchase of a Mailing Machine . February 11, 1999 Page 3 One local company using a Friden Neopost brand machine stated maintenance and service were not acceptable. Based on our evaluation of the equipment, local maintenance, and product services, it was determined that the Pitney Bowes Paragon II best meets the City's requirements. It is recommended that the purchase of a mailing machine through the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program be authorized in the amount of$21,304 for a Pitney Bowes Paragon II mailing system. Finance concurs that funds are available for this expenditure in the Capital Reserve Fund. The Pitney Bowes 6100 will be disposed of according to the City's surplus property policies. • • C INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM -- City of Beaumont,Texas Engineering Division Date: February 17, 1999 To: Ray A.

NPDES required cities having populations greater than 100,000 people to obtain a permit to discharge to "public waters" that storm water collected by the city's storm sewer system. In compliance with the requirements of this legislation the City of Beaumont and Jefferson County Drainage District No. 6 (DD6) applied for and, effective October 1, 1998, were issued by USEPA, a permit for the discharge of storm water to waters of the U.S. The NPDES Permit is comprised of several parts, some of which require the City and DD6 to develope and implement throughout the term of the five (5) year permit, various monitoring programs aimed at limiting the amount of pollutants entering the storm water system. One such program deals with the collection and quantification of floatable trash and debris. That program requires the City and DD6 to select two locations to be monitored twice per year (minimally). In an effort to find monitoring locations which would yield meaningful results it was determined that the storm water detention basin which surrounds the Parkdale Mall parking lot met all the criteria set forth by the provisions of the NPDES permit. The management of Parkdale Mall has agreed to allow the City and DD6 to conduct floatable monitoring on Parkdale's property and has asked that an agreement be drawn for signature. Parkdale Mall would not be paid for the use of their property. The City and DD6, in return, would not be paid for collecting the floatable material, would agree to cause minimal disruption to Parkdale's normal operation and would repair any damage to Parkdale's property caused by the collection activity. A sample agreement is attached. It is recommended that City Council pass a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into agreement with Parkdale Mall for the collection of floatable material. Tom Warner �-PC Attachment TW-,1P(''im AGREEMENT By affixing signature hereto, I, Chad Johnson, as Manager of Parkdale Mall, hereby agree to allow the forces of the City of Beaumont (City) and Drainage District no. 6 (DD6) to enter onto property of Parkdale Mall two or more times annually, as may be determined necessary by the City and DD6, to conduct a program to collect and quantify floatable trash and debris from the detention basin located on the north and west sides of Parkdale Mall's parking lot. Signed Date Chad Johnson, Manager, Parkdale Mall By affixing signature hereto, I, Ray Riley, City Manager, City of Beaumont (City), hereby commit the resources of the City to repair any damage to Parkdale Mall's property caused by conducting the floatables collection program required by the provisions of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Discharge Permit. I also guarantee that the collection program will be conducted in such a way as to cause minimal disruption to Parkdale Mall's normal operations.

City Manager's Office City of Beaumont To: Mayor and Councilmembers From: Kyle Hayes Date: February 19, 1999 Subject: Contract with Beaumont Firefighters' Local 399 Council is requested to approve a resolution authorizing execution of a labor agreement with Beaumont Firefighter' Local 399. Mr. Riley, Lane Nichols and I met with Mike Minton and the Union's lawyer a number of times after arbitration and succeeded in producing an agreement on a three-year contract for the period from October 1, 1998 through September 30, 2001. The Union ratified the agreement last night with a vote of 79-67. The contract includes an increase in wages for all members of the bargaining unit to be distributed over the term of the contract as follows: each firefighter shall receive a one-time payment equal to $100 times the number of months the firefighter worked between October 1997 and September 1998; 5 percent, retroactive to October 1, 1998; 4 percent, effective October 1, 1999; and 3 percent, effective October 1, 2000. The City currently contributes twelve (12%) of a firefighters salary to the pension fund. Retroactive to October 1, 1998, the City shall contribute to the pension fund an amount equal to twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of each firefighters salary. Effective October 1, 2000, the City shall contribute to the pension fund an amount equal to thirteen percent (13%) of each firefighters salary. Relating to health insurance, the City will continue to provide the same standard medical plan provided to all city employees for all firefighters and eligible dependents. Retroactive to January 1, 1999, firefighters electing single or multiple dependent coverage will pay a premium of$10 per month. Effective January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2001, the premium for firefighters electing single or multiple dependent coverage may be increased in an amount equal to any increase in the premium rate for civilian employees. However, the maximum increase for firefighters will not exceed $12 in any given year. The City will provide the same prescription drug plan as in effect for civilian employees to all firefighters under the same terms and conditions. Under the terms of the contract, the City shall provide a dental plan for firefighters and eligible dependents with the minimum level of benefits being the same as those in effect at the present time. Retroactive to January 1, 1999, firefighters will pay a premium of$6 per month for single dependent coverage, and $10 per month for multiple dependent coverage. Effective January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2001, the premiums for single and multiple dependent coverage may be increased in the same amount by which premiums for dental coverage are increased for civilian employees, but not more than$5 in a given year. Presently, the City is bound by the entry level hiring procedures set forth in Chapter 143, Local Government Code (State Civil Service). The new agreement will allow the City to establish entry level selection procedures for Grade I Firefighters. This will benefit the `ire Ddpartment -- by having certified firefighters go straight to work instead ofsending a new hire to the academy for more than 17 weeks before filling a vacancy. The agreement will also remove the requirement of paying firefighters double time for responding to calls for any reason outside the city limits. Firefighters will receive double time only for responding to calls to industrial plants or storage facilities containing hazardous materials outside the city limits. We believe the proposed contract is fair and beneficial to both parties and therefore we recommend approval. The entire process resulting in this contract has been arduous and we appreciate the Union representatives for working with us to resolve the matter. 2 February 23, 1999 Consider a request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District for property in the 5200 Block of Allen Drive Mr. Michael Wirfs, the owner, operates a self-service car wash at 5195 Concord Road at Allen Drive.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM MR City of Beaumont,Texas Planning Division - -- - - Date: February 16, 1999 To: Ray A. Riley, City Manager From: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director Subject: AGENDA ITINERARY FOR FEBRUARY 23, 1999 - REQUEST FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE AVENUES/COLLEGE STREET AREA NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN. COMMENTS City Council is asked to consider a request for the adoption of The Avenues/College Street Area Neighborhood Plan. The Avenues/College Street Area Neighborhood Plan encompasses the area generally bounded by Martin Luther King Parkway on the east, Fourth Street to the west, Fannin to the north and Franklin to the south. Blight, in its many forms, has contributed to the deterioration of the neighborhood. However, the influx of a number of ethnic groups into the neighborhood has added a unique cultural flavor to the area. It is this important asset which the plan will use to influence the future growth of the area. The Planning Division worked with The Avenues Neighborhood Association in developing this neighborhood plan. The plan addresses land use, transportation systems, parks and open space, business development and housing revitalization. The Avenues/College Street Area Neighborhood Plan lists seven goals to be addressed. Goal 1 deals with the clean up and the overall physical condition and appearance of the area. Goal 2 deals with improving those social and environmental factors which impact the quality of life of the community. Goal 3 deals with preserving the residential and historic character desired by the residents and business community. Goal 4 addresses the adoption of a land use plan that describes a vision for the future of the neighborhood by directing development, providing for adequate parks and recreational_,;facilities and encouraging the establishment of buffer areas between incompatible land uses. Goal 5 deals with the development of an efficient and effective transportation network. Goal 6 addresses housing development and improving housing opportunities. Lastly, Goal 7 addresses the role of the City as facilitator of the revitalization efforts within the neighborhood. In November, 1998, The Avenues Neighborhood Association endorsed the plan. , At a Joint Public Hearing held February 15, 1999, the Planning Commission voted 7:0 to approve the - J -__..-- -f TL- A _-_._.. .,/('',11 C`r.-.,.,♦ 1--,., 1�T.,...L.l....-1,,.�,.7 T)1,- THE A VENUES / COLLEGE STREET AREA NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN r PURPOSE, INTENT AND SCOPE of this Document ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD The purpose of this document is.....

Thus,in the process of formulating goals and objectives one moves from the general to the specific. First,general goals are formulated;then objectives are defined and adjusted to be more applicable to the issues and needs that were identified during the;oats development phase of the planning process. The primary goal of this plan is to provide some general guidance in making decisions concerning new home construction and housing rehabilitation actions and the implementation of future public improvements. A second goal is to identify new development/re-development opportunities and to suggest some priorities for specific short-term implementation. A third goal is to make specific regulatory and physical improvements targeted to the area that will spur private sector development and redevelopment. Some of these goals and objectives should be accomplished by the City, some by area residents and business owners and operators, and others through the joint participation of all three. Some goals and objectives may be long-term(ten plus years)and other may be intermediate-term(four to nine years)or short-term(one to three years).

CONEMENTS City Council is asked to consider a request by the City Planning Division to abandon the 20' wide alley right-of- way extending across a vacant block of land from the 3500 block of Chaison Avenue to Avenue A. The U. S. Postal Service intends to replace its existing south end branch post office in the Stadium Shopping Center with a new facility located on the site of the former Giles Elementary School. The City purchased the 4.563 acre tract from the BISD and has offered to sell it to the postal service for $162,500. City Council Resolution No. 98- 250 passed on September 15, 1998, authorizes the City Manager to enter into a contract to convey the property to the United States Postal Service. The City Council changed the zoning of the subject property from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) to GC- MD-2 (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) on November 24, 1998. The GC-MD-2 District (established as a new district on 2/3/98)requires a specific use permit for a post office. A joint public hearing for the specific use permit will be scheduled on the Planning Commission agenda once the staff receives an application. The architects for the postal service are presently preparing a site plan. The 20' x 662.5' alley crosses through Block 60, Jef Chaison 2nd Addition and Lots 1-10, Block 5, Pear Orchard Addition. The new post office will sit astride the alley, thus the requirement for abandonment.-The-€acility will serve three zip codes and will cost about$4 million dollars according to our local postmaster. The building will contain 25,000 square feet. There have been no objections received by the Planning staff from those contacted. No utility easement is needed to replace the alley. At a Regular Meeting held February 15, 1999, the Planning Commission voted 7:0 to approve the abandonment of the 20' wide platted alley located in Block 5, Pear Orchard Addition and Block 60, Jef Chaison Addition.

Riley, City Manager From: Kirby Richard,Central Services Director Subject: Purchase of a Mailing Machine COMMENTS Authorization is requested to purchase a mailing machine budgeted in fiscal year 1999 through the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program. The program allows cities to participate in purchasing goods at contracted prices offered to the State. By participating with the State, cities can reduce the number of bids processed and take advantage of volume discounts. Local distributors are responsible for maintenance, service, and delivery of units in their authorized areas. Currently,the City uses a Pitney Bowes 6100 mailing system purchased in 1991. Included in the system is the mailing machine, an electronic scale, and an accounting system. Last year, the manufacturer discontinued the mailing machine and repair parts are no longer readily available. The accounting system is not year 2000 compliant and will soon become obsolete. The mail room processes approximately 175,000 first class pieces, 30,000 parcel post packages, and 16,000 certified, priority, and express mail pieces per year averaging 850 pieces per day. Outgoing mail is sorted by weight and class to determine the postage rate. First class letters weighing two (2) ounces or less are eligible for postage rate discounts if letters are pre-sorted and bar coded. Letters are posted at the reduced rate and forwarded to a contracted vendor for sorting by zip code, application of bar code, and delivery to the post office. The price paid to the contracted vendor per each first class mail piece is $ .04 resulting in a total rate of$ .31 for first class letters weighing up to one ounce. Rates for all other mail including parcel post, certified, priority, and express mail pieces are posted in house and delivered to the post office. Features required on a new postage machine include automatic sorting by weight, automatic calculation of postage,high speed application of postage,and a customized accounting system for tracking each department's mail costs. There are three postage systems available through the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program. All three were evaluated for compliance with the City's requirements. The following is an evaluation of each system: Purchase of a Mailing Machine February 11, 1999 Page 2 Pitney Bowes - Paragon II (American Made): The Paragon II processes 240 mail pieces per minute. The machine automatically stacks, weighs, and posts various sizes and thicknesses without manual sorting, including large flat mail pieces as thick as 5/8". Currently, large flat mail pieces require the manual application of a postage tape. Pitney Bowes is the only vendor providing "Weight on the Way." This feature weighs mail pieces up to 16 ounces,automatically sets the meter, and stamps each mail piece. The feeding deck and stacker both are large capacity, capable of processing 205 mail pieces without manual intervention. The feeding deck accepts mixed(size, sealed, or open) mail pieces without sorting. Up to 30 pounds of parcel post packages can be stacked on the scale at one time and as each parcel is removed from the scale, a postage tape is printed. Since the system is computerized, it is capable of automatically changing the date,calculating the cost of each mail piece by adding the presort and bar code costs, and printing monthly reports. Pitney Bowes provided a list of nine vendors using the Paragon 11 mailing system. All vendors are satisfied with the Pitney Bowes equipment and their service. Service is provided by the local Pitney Bowes service center. Franicotyp-Postalia M-5000 (German Made): The M-5000 processes 200 pieces per minute. Each mail piece must be handled and weighed before posting, i.e., by separating letters thicker than 1/4", separating sealed and unsealed pieces, and separating presort from non-presort pieces. Mail pieces thicker than 1/4" must be posted with a pressure sensitive strip. Pressure sensitive strips are also used on larger flat pieces. Problems experienced during onsite testing of this machine included the inability of separating pressure sensitive strips at perforated line, the pressure sensitive strip drawer jamming, water leakage from sealing system, and slow processing time. In addition,the postage meter date must be changed manually,the system is not password protected, rendering the system and postage unsecured, and the accounting system does not print a record of postage used or number of pieces posted. Service is provided by Franicotyp-Postalia in Houston. There are no Franicotyp-Postalia postage machines installed locally and references were not provided. Friden Neopost SM85 (French Made): The SM85 processes 200 mail pieces per minute. The SM85 is equipped with a large stacking capacity and is capable of stacking various sizes, but all pieces must weigh the same to be posted correctly. Mail pieces must be weighed individually. The machine processes letters up to %" thick,however,the operator must manually change thickness selection. The accounting system prints preprogramed reports but does not record additional costs such as presorting and bar coding. Service is provided in Beaumont. References from two(2)San Antonio companies and one (1)Beaumont company were provided. One San Antonio company did not respond to our request for a reference. The second company stated the departmental accounting system does not meet their needs and they are not satisfied with the training or service provided on this model. According to the local vendor,Neopost released the SM85 for sale in January , 1999. Purchase of a Mailing Machine . February 11, 1999 Page 3 One local company using a Friden Neopost brand machine stated maintenance and service were not acceptable. Based on our evaluation of the equipment, local maintenance, and product services, it was determined that the Pitney Bowes Paragon II best meets the City's requirements. It is recommended that the purchase of a mailing machine through the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program be authorized in the amount of$21,304 for a Pitney Bowes Paragon II mailing system. Finance concurs that funds are available for this expenditure in the Capital Reserve Fund. The Pitney Bowes 6100 will be disposed of according to the City's surplus property policies. • • C INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM -- City of Beaumont,Texas Engineering Division Date: February 17, 1999 To: Ray A.

NPDES required cities having populations greater than 100,000 people to obtain a permit to discharge to "public waters" that storm water collected by the city's storm sewer system. In compliance with the requirements of this legislation the City of Beaumont and Jefferson County Drainage District No. 6 (DD6) applied for and, effective October 1, 1998, were issued by USEPA, a permit for the discharge of storm water to waters of the U.S. The NPDES Permit is comprised of several parts, some of which require the City and DD6 to develope and implement throughout the term of the five (5) year permit, various monitoring programs aimed at limiting the amount of pollutants entering the storm water system. One such program deals with the collection and quantification of floatable trash and debris. That program requires the City and DD6 to select two locations to be monitored twice per year (minimally). In an effort to find monitoring locations which would yield meaningful results it was determined that the storm water detention basin which surrounds the Parkdale Mall parking lot met all the criteria set forth by the provisions of the NPDES permit. The management of Parkdale Mall has agreed to allow the City and DD6 to conduct floatable monitoring on Parkdale's property and has asked that an agreement be drawn for signature. Parkdale Mall would not be paid for the use of their property. The City and DD6, in return, would not be paid for collecting the floatable material, would agree to cause minimal disruption to Parkdale's normal operation and would repair any damage to Parkdale's property caused by the collection activity. A sample agreement is attached. It is recommended that City Council pass a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into agreement with Parkdale Mall for the collection of floatable material. Tom Warner �-PC Attachment TW-,1P(''im AGREEMENT By affixing signature hereto, I, Chad Johnson, as Manager of Parkdale Mall, hereby agree to allow the forces of the City of Beaumont (City) and Drainage District no. 6 (DD6) to enter onto property of Parkdale Mall two or more times annually, as may be determined necessary by the City and DD6, to conduct a program to collect and quantify floatable trash and debris from the detention basin located on the north and west sides of Parkdale Mall's parking lot. Signed Date Chad Johnson, Manager, Parkdale Mall By affixing signature hereto, I, Ray Riley, City Manager, City of Beaumont (City), hereby commit the resources of the City to repair any damage to Parkdale Mall's property caused by conducting the floatables collection program required by the provisions of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Discharge Permit. I also guarantee that the collection program will be conducted in such a way as to cause minimal disruption to Parkdale Mall's normal operations.

City Manager's Office City of Beaumont To: Mayor and Councilmembers From: Kyle Hayes Date: February 19, 1999 Subject: Contract with Beaumont Firefighters' Local 399 Council is requested to approve a resolution authorizing execution of a labor agreement with Beaumont Firefighter' Local 399. Mr. Riley, Lane Nichols and I met with Mike Minton and the Union's lawyer a number of times after arbitration and succeeded in producing an agreement on a three-year contract for the period from October 1, 1998 through September 30, 2001. The Union ratified the agreement last night with a vote of 79-67. The contract includes an increase in wages for all members of the bargaining unit to be distributed over the term of the contract as follows: each firefighter shall receive a one-time payment equal to $100 times the number of months the firefighter worked between October 1997 and September 1998; 5 percent, retroactive to October 1, 1998; 4 percent, effective October 1, 1999; and 3 percent, effective October 1, 2000. The City currently contributes twelve (12%) of a firefighters salary to the pension fund. Retroactive to October 1, 1998, the City shall contribute to the pension fund an amount equal to twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of each firefighters salary. Effective October 1, 2000, the City shall contribute to the pension fund an amount equal to thirteen percent (13%) of each firefighters salary. Relating to health insurance, the City will continue to provide the same standard medical plan provided to all city employees for all firefighters and eligible dependents. Retroactive to January 1, 1999, firefighters electing single or multiple dependent coverage will pay a premium of$10 per month. Effective January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2001, the premium for firefighters electing single or multiple dependent coverage may be increased in an amount equal to any increase in the premium rate for civilian employees. However, the maximum increase for firefighters will not exceed $12 in any given year. The City will provide the same prescription drug plan as in effect for civilian employees to all firefighters under the same terms and conditions. Under the terms of the contract, the City shall provide a dental plan for firefighters and eligible dependents with the minimum level of benefits being the same as those in effect at the present time. Retroactive to January 1, 1999, firefighters will pay a premium of$6 per month for single dependent coverage, and $10 per month for multiple dependent coverage. Effective January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2001, the premiums for single and multiple dependent coverage may be increased in the same amount by which premiums for dental coverage are increased for civilian employees, but not more than$5 in a given year. Presently, the City is bound by the entry level hiring procedures set forth in Chapter 143, Local Government Code (State Civil Service). The new agreement will allow the City to establish entry level selection procedures for Grade I Firefighters. This will benefit the `ire Ddpartment -- by having certified firefighters go straight to work instead ofsending a new hire to the academy for more than 17 weeks before filling a vacancy. The agreement will also remove the requirement of paying firefighters double time for responding to calls for any reason outside the city limits. Firefighters will receive double time only for responding to calls to industrial plants or storage facilities containing hazardous materials outside the city limits. We believe the proposed contract is fair and beneficial to both parties and therefore we recommend approval. The entire process resulting in this contract has been arduous and we appreciate the Union representatives for working with us to resolve the matter. 2 February 23, 1999 Consider a request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District for property in the 5200 Block of Allen Drive Mr. Michael Wirfs, the owner, operates a self-service car wash at 5195 Concord Road at Allen Drive.
