No attempt to contact this department has been made until 6/24/99 at which time Mr. J'un Lafleur called to request to be allowed to repair said structure. I have spoken with Mr. Jim Lafleur and also Mr. Mike Lafleur and tried to explain that the structure was condemned by City Council in October of 1998. Even though the structure had been condemned in October, extra consideration of thirty(30) days to repair the structure was given to their father. As of this time, no repairs have been made. Pam Loiacano, Field Supervisor, attempted to make an inspection on July 8, 1999 but was not able to enter the property because of locked gates. Viewing the structure from the street indicates there are no apparent repairs that have been made.

RECOMMENDATION Council approval of the Administration determination that the Guest Hotel should be closed due to extremely serious life/safety problems existing on the premises. BACKGROUND During 1997, Beaumont Fire/Rescue responded to the Guest Inn 109 times, with 99 of these runs being false alarms or fire alarm related. In 1998, there were 115 runs,with 108 being fire alarm related. Through June 21 of this year, there were 61 calls,with 59 being fire alarm related. The Fire Department has written more than 100 citations to the Hotel management for not maintaining their fire alarm system, and the problems continue. The Hotel has an inadequate fire alarm system and management does not heed fire safety codes and generally ignores warnings to achieve compliance.

Beaumont, Texas 77703. Some of us have been working at this HOTEL since it was reopened for business since 1991. Since Hotel's opening,we have been paid regularly and never missed a single time by its management although the Hotel have been suffered for years from financial difficulties primarily due to poor revenue caused by low occupancy and room rate. SNonetheless,the Hotel have accommodated an affordable and economical lodging requirements for the local community. At the same time, it provided a stable job opportunity for local residents. Lately, we become very anxiety and concerned since we learned that the City Fire Department(CFD)is trying to close the Hotel down. During the past CFD constantly intimidated to shut down the Hotel. This is because the Hotel has a chronic problem of false fire alarms. Needless to say, we as Hotel workers are quite embarrassed by such problems and they became a very nuisance. In some guest rooms even they are not occupied or unknown locations,the fire alarm went on quite frequently day and night without reasons. Even several times in a single day. Every time when a false alarm went on even in midnight,a fire engine and firemen came to the Hotel waking up the Hotel guests,employees,and some neighbors constantly as well. We feel such actions are more than desirable because they became such a routine and beside, wasting our tax payers monies unnecessarily. Following further describe the facts in details so that our Honorable Councilmerdwoman will understand the situation fully. The Hotel reopened for business as Ramada Hotel in 1991 after the ex Sheraton Inn Spindletop had been closed for a while. As requested by CFD, a central fire monitoring system was installed at a cost as much as $80,000 in 1991. Apparently the system was not installed correctly and properly resulting in today's problem. The Management of the Hotel at that time requested immediate correction by Sonitol of Houston Inc who was the original contractor installing the fire alarm system. An effort was made but obviously unsuccessful. While the Management was eager to correct the f1l0N i P ►_+ problem, had no choice but to ask a new company called National Gardian to correct the problem and resulted in even worse problems. Because National Gardian connected the central monitorial system to CFD. And as a result, Fire Engine and firemen were alerted and rushed to the Hotel, whenever there were false alarms. As of today since it was installed it has been about 9 years, almost all alarms were false and probably remains to be false in the future. We do not know how many smoke sensors were replaced unnecessarily at Hotel's cost during this time. At one time, the Management also installed the smoke sensors by relocating to guest rooms wall from ceiling as advised by CFD but did not solve the problem. They also tried to replace the central monitoring panel. None whatsoever proved to be working. In consideration of such serious problems apparently the State Fire Department was consulted by one of the previous Department Manager, and the State Fire Department found that the fire alarm system was not properly installed. As far as we know even up to today the problems were not corrected despite the fact the Hotel Management desperately desires to correct the problem. We must emphasize that by any means Hotel was in fault in fact they are innocent victim. It is clear that by blaming the Hotel and intend to close the Hotel down is totally unfair. Moreover,Our Honorable Councilman/woman must remember that so many families are depending on the Hotel's employment for living. Some of us has a sick member of family and some has a small baby. We are more than willing to testify in behalf of Hotel in these respects if so requested. Although we are not experts to advise what measures should betaken at this juncture, we are just full of anxiety and are very concerned about what we heard about CFD's intention. We feel CFD's petition is very unreasonable,unfair and very abusive. Your kind considerations of not allowing CFD to close the Hotel are mostly appreciated. Should you have any questions in this regard,you may contact us at the Hotel. RECEIVE D- Thanks.

Davis, Security for the Ramada Hotel Beaumont during the hours of 2230 ( 10 : 30 PM until 06: 30 AM) , Monday through Friday. Our problems started in March 1994, with the excessive fire alarms and the answering by the Beaumont Fire Department to what turned out to be false alarms . From installation, approximately 2 and 1 /2 years ago, the Beaumont Fire Department had only been required to answer 3 alarms . Once when all lights were out due to stormy weather and our phones were also down, once when an air conditioner .unit caught fire and once when a grease fire happened in the kitchen which was taken care of by our Ansel System. Beginning in March, 1994, the National Guardian Company, our Security Contract Company, would call the Fire Department when an alarm sounded and then check with us while the fire vehicles were in transit. At times our Security would have already located the problem false alarm and would be waiting for the Fire Department to arrive. The normal time for our Security to arrive in the problem area to check for fire or other problems would be approximately one minute. National Guardian had been contracted to maintain the system and gave us many reasons why thing were happening as they were but apparently did not improve the situation since the false alarms continued. The Hotel even went to the expense of installing a new system to replace the Sensican 2000 Alarm Panel with the now placed system, a Sensican 1000 , because the 2000 supposedly was not compatible with the Detectors, DS200HD, (Detector w/heat sensor) . Wiring has been torn out and replaced, detectors cleaned, sensitized and or replaced. We still had false alarms until the weather cooling off slowed them down. To each of National Guardian' s complaints, the Hotel apparently complied and even where no false alarms were noted, the detectors were cleaned. The previous (2) contract company and the one in charge when I was hired in January of 1992 was Sonitrol of Houston. There was never any problem with false alarms until the change in Security Companies . The false alarms immediately began and Nation Guardian would call the Fire Department immediately upon an alarm and then contact us too late to stop the Fire Vehicles already in route. It was felt by the Hotel that these calls were not required since Security already had the situation well in hand. National Guardian has apparently changed this procedure for a false alarm is no longer answered by the Fire Department and now contact is made with us at the Hotel. The Ramada Hotel Beaumnot would like to apologize for any inconvenience that we have caused the Beaumont Fire Department or City of Beaumont. The Hotel has made every effort to correct any problems and have brought in other companies to investigate our problem and have Sonotrol and National Guardian repairmen in to help correct the situation many times. The welfare and safety of our personnel and guests have at no time been compromised and they have or never will be placed in danger. Levoid C. Davis; Security, Ramada Hotel Beaumont: 3-13-95 SONITROL 1 . 6-5-91 Plan submitted by fax plan for installation of Fire Alarm System. 2 . The Installation plan called for installation of DS 200 Photoelectric Smoke Detectors with a Sensican 1000 main board in accordance with NFPA 72-E guarneteed to meet all local fire department standards and regulations . This would meet all State and Federal regulations . (Letter of June 9, 1991 from Sonitrol to Ramada Hotel) 3. This was sub-leased to Gary Allen Collins , 2405 Barnington Place Dr. , Sugarland Tx. 77473 . However the installer was a person by the name of Fernando. Mr. Fernando was a frequent visitor to the Lounge and usually stayed as long as it was open. If the Hotel Lounge was not open, he found another one. The installation was sloppy, not wired properly and needed much repairs afterwards. I estimate it took Mr. Fernando at least 3 to 4 months to do the job and was the only employee I saw performing the work. (Letter of July 10, 1992) 4 . The letter of July 10, 1992 stated that an action plan must be submitted to Ramada Inn by July 13, 1992, a year after original plan was submitted. There were 15 problems noted in the letter . (Note envoice and repair forms) The problems continued. 5 . The DS 200 Series dectors are UL listed as open area photo- electric smke dectors designed for use with commercial fire signaling system, NFPA 72-E (Automatic Fire Dectors ) with 135 degree Farenheigt Temp. The DS 20OHD series dectors were installed which are heat/smoke dectors with a recommended 50 feet space between dectors . The DS 200 HD specifications: Max Installation Temp.-100 degrees F.

(exemption) "should ambient conditions prohibit installation of Automatic Smoke Detectors , automatic heat detectors shall be permitted. Someone goofed or did not read the regulations. -P19 After receiving advice to hire a local company, an agreement with National Guardian dated on 9-1 -94 . Immediately the problems with false alarms increased. As a result of their services and materials , the number did not decrese causing a fine of over $16, 00 .00 to be charged to Mr. Ken Chen, Manager of the Ramada Inn. Beaumont, Tx. April 4 , 1996 Subject: Fire Alarm System, To whom it may concern, I am Levoid C. Davis, and am in charge of Security at the Ramada Hotel Beauomont duing the hours of 10 :30 PM and 06:30 AM. In the past we have been plagued with problems with the Fire Alarm System and many "false alarms . However, during this past year I can only remember one false alarm since the first of January. I have been employed at the Ramada Hotel for over four years and have witnessed a constant flow of incompetent and money grabbing repairmen personnel from local management companies . The most outstanding being the National Guardian Company. The records will show that there is a preponderance of false alarms while the National Guardian Company was contracted to do this work. The record will also show a constant threat of punishment instead of a willingness to work together to correct the problem by City officials responsible. It seems that someone wants the Hotel closed instead of the problem solved and the Hotel doing business. The charge, (A) Failure to maintain a safe Fire Alarm System, is to say the least outrageous . At no time has any guest, employee or anyone been injured or in danger while in the building. The opposite would be more correct. The system that is not responsible for warning the occupants is so sensitive that it over reacts to the slightest hint of smoke or heat. There is no way that any amount of smoke or heat no matter how small would fail to sound an alarm. The System and monitors installed and approved by the City are over sensitive because they are for a larger area than a normal room in a hotel. Please note that the monitors in larger areas, such as 20 square feet or more, have not been a problem. There have been no alarms for areas such as the lobby, hall ways and Ballrooms. Why was new system installed in the first place when the old system used by Sheraton Spindletop were of the type that sounded in a single room with an alarm mounted to the wall and gave a warning at the Front Desk indicating the area. These systems qualified under the State and City codes. Why was that system not activated Each time a false alarm sounded, Fireman answering it would proceed to knock on every door in the area of the alarm waking guests to "find the monitor" even though there was clear evidence of no problem and the absence of any fire had already been determined. Evidently this was done to harass guests so they would not return. The repair and upgrading of the system has been a constant thing and since National Guardian no longer performs work on the system, it is working excellant now. (3 ) It appears that the Ramada has spoent numerous hours and a large amount of money trying to furnish a safe atmosphere for their guests . Some examples . 1 . When the pull down type alarms were pulled as a prank by intoxicated patrons leaving the Club, plastic boxes were installed with a localized alarm is sounded when it it tampered with. 2 . When a monitor gives any signs of giving out false alarms , it was immediately replaced. 3 . Full cooperation was and is now being given to any City Officals who wish to consult with the Ramada about changes or upgrading of the system. No one seems to be interested and the Security was informed during Court tha "you don' t know anything about the system, " when he was trying to explain what happens during his hours of duty. 4 . Everything was done including a change to another Secuirity Company that has improved the system and almost cut out all false alarms. 5. Ramade allowed another Monitor Control Box to be installed even though this was not the problem. This antique Box that replaced a digital Box was not needed but no one would listen to our suggestions or explanations. No one considered the cost or whether the Control panel was the problem. ( 4 ) The Ramada is open for suggestions but would like to know exactly, A. where is Ramade' s falure in providing adaquate protection for the guests, B. why is there such a problem in letting the Naional Guardian Company go when they were not providing the maintenance contracted for, C. and why is Ramada continously singled out for such charges as presented by the City?

OF PACES Remarks : — This is not a complete summary. It is the type of suggestion the Hotel must submit regarding additional employment if a tax abatement can be secured. This is a simple summary of how much employment can be achieved with a full service hotel. I may have to go into detail about the potential of B Wing and C Wing and what the cost will be to bring them into line. There is a possibility that some tax relief can be achieved because of the condition of C Wing even if the hotel cannot get a tax abatement. Look this over and give me any suggestions you may have. I cannot pin down anyone on how much the 800 number is costing. Ken tells me it is $9 .00 per month or 9(r per minute. I had an appointment with the Police Dept. this morning at 10 AM to file charges against the writer of a counterfeit Visa Travelers Check passed at the Front Desk and again found my office locked. Like I informed you last week, I am tired of the games that Ken plays and if the working conditions are not improved, I feel it best to seek employment elsewhere. I have specimens and numbers that will allow the Front Desk or Sales to check a travelers check when presented so that no more counterfeit ones are accepted. I also have a client that wants to lease the club who will come in this week to talk it over.

I am heing charged with "FAIL TO MAINTAIN FIRE ALARM SYSTEM, and am scheduled to appear in Municipal Court, Beaumont, Texas on Mondav, Mav 6, 1996, at 1 :30 PM. The charae came from the fire alarms, mostly false, due to a of an over sensitive fire system that had been approved by the City Fire Marshal . I humblv request Your presence, or someone from Your office at this hparinq if at all Dossihle and invite as manv from vour office as necessary tc be a auest at this Inn and inspect our system. All of our records will be made available to you that will show that a Maintenance Companv has been emoloved by the Ramada Inn Beaumont at all times. It will also show that an estimated $15, 000 .00 has been spent in repairs or alterations to the system. I do not understand why I am beina charged with "Fail to Maintain". There have at all times been a warning system and no occupants have been in anv dancer. In fact, the system was too aood and alarms would sound for steam from shower baths, hair sorav, cellular phones and a real fire for sure, ( 2 ) As soon as a Maintenance ComDanv found the main reason for the Drohlem and a Diaital Communicator was connected to the system, the false alarms ceased . The fire alarm system is installed in the hotel and the hotel owns the system. I own nothing about the system and was not present when it was installed .

Austin TX Dear Sir; We are still having a problem with the Fire Alarm System that was installed by Sonitrol of Houston. This has been an ongoing problem since installation in 1992 with numerous false alarms . The false alarms are causing problems with our guests since a single alarm sets the central alarm off not to mention the continued answering by the Fire Department. A small amount of cigarette smoke or a guest taking a hot shower will cause the alarm to sound. Mr. Lance Levens of American Alarm has informed us that the whole system was poorly installed and is not compatible with a Hotel atmosphere. He suggested that we contact your office for help with dealing with Sonitrol. If you need any more information about the problem, he suggests your office contact him for a more detailed description and explanation of how we can correct the system. The system installed by Sonitrol does not meet NFPA 101 -17.3.4 .2. (4) , "IF SLEEPING ROOM SMOKE DETECTORS WERE REQUIRED TO INITIATE THE ALARM SYSTEM, THERE WOULD BE MANY TOO MANY NUISANCE ALARMS. " "SLEEPING ROOM DETECTORS SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO INITIATE THE BUILDING FIRE ALARM SYSTEM." An investigation by Deputy State Fire Marshal Michael Rodriquez confirmed in Case, L-51 -030-11 -7, "THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM WAS NOT PROPERLY DESIGNED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE INDIVIDUAL ROOMS WOULD INITIATE CHRONIC FALSE ALARMS IN THE ROOMS SMOKE DETECTORS RESULTING IN A GENERAL ALARM SIGNAL SENT THROUGHOUT THE HOTEL AND THE RESPONSE OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES FROM THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT.

ORIGIN On November, 28, 1994, this office received a complaint from Jack Maddox, Fire Marshal for the City of Beaumont, Texas, regarding Sonitrol Management Corporation improperly installing the fire alarm system at the Ramada Hotel, 2525 North 11th Street, Beaumont, Texas 77702. 11. INVESTIGATIVE ACTIONS AND CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY On February 13, 1995, a search of the State Fire Marshal's Office Licensing Administration records revealed that Sonitrol Management Corporation holds a certificate of registration to work in the fire alarm industry, and that Patrick Speight holds a license to work in the fire alarm industry. Page 2 Case L-51-030-11-7 On December 7, 1994, this investigator made contact with David Hicks, Chief Engineer for the Ramada Hotel, 2525 North 1 Ith Street, Beaumont, Texas, to obtain authorization to conduct the investigation at 2525 North 1 I th Street, Beaumont, Texas. Authorization was granted on December 7, 1994, and the investigation was conducted on that same day. The investigation revealed that Sonitrol of Houston, Sonitrol of Austin, and Sonitrol of Ft. Worth, joined to form Sonitrol Management Corporation on May 16, 1994. The investigation revealed that Sonitrol was awarded the contract to install the fire alarm system at the Ramada Hotel and subcontracted the installation to Benco Systems, Inc. Patrick Speight completed the installation on or about January 1, 1992. Patrick Speight stated that he signed the fire alarm installation record label on January 1, 1992, and that Benco was suppose to certify the system (an installation certificate was not discovered). On February 14, 1995, this investigator contacted Ben Reyes, owner of Benco Systems, Inc. Mr. Reyes stated that he had a verbal agreement with Sonitrol to installed the fire alarm system per the drawings provided by Sonitrol. Mr. Reyes further stated that it was Sonitrol's responsibility to certify the fire alarm system after inspecting Benco's work. Mr. Reyes informed this investigator that Sonitrol was concerned that his company did not attach the smoke detectors to back boxes. On February 14, 1995, this investigator contacted Jeff Matrachisia, technical support for Detection Systems, Inc. Mr. Matrachisia stated that the smoke detector installation information, at that time, did not indicate that their detectors should be supported and attached to an electrical back box. The Sensiscan 2000 control panel was found not to be compatible with the approximate 576, Detection Systems, Inc., Model DS 200HD, smoke detectors connected to MB200-2W bases, installed in the hotel. National Guardian discovered the problems while servicing the fire alarm system, and brought them to the attention of Jack Maddox. Sonitrol was in the process of correcting the violations (at no cost to the owner) prior to this investigator's site visit. Sonitrol replaced the existing Sensiscan 2000 control panel with a Sensiscan 1000 control panel. The new control panel is compatible with the existing smoke detectors, and the system was certified by Michael Waters, a partner of Security and Fire Engineering, on January 10, 1995. Page 3 Case L-51-030!-1 l-7 On February 14, 1995, this investigator contacted Jack Maddox. Jack Maddox stated that his fire inspectors accepted the system last week, and the previous false alarm problem appears to have been solved. Jack Maddox also stated he was pleased with Sonitrol's actions in correcting the violations and feels that Sonitrol has fulfilled their obligations on the project. On February 22, 1995, John Meace, Chief Engineer for Ramada Hotel (replaced David Hicks), contacted this investigator complaining of false fire alarm problems, and was very concerned that the Beaumont Fire Dept. was fining the hotel for each false alarms On that day this investigator contacted Jack Maddox. Jack Maddox stated that he was unaware of any alarm problem at the Ramada Hotel, and that he would investigate the problem as soon as possible. Jack Maddox contacted this investigator later in the day, and revealed that the bell silence switch had been deactivated (this action disabled the alarm monitoring contacts). The hotel personnel had documented 17 fire alamms since the fire alarm control panel had been changed and recertified by Michael Waters. John Mease stated that the majority of the alarms had been caused by cigarette smoke and steam from the occupied rooms, and cigarette smoke in the bar area. On February 23, 1995, this investigator contacted Michael Waters. Michael Waters stated that after investigating the problem, he discovered that the bell circuit power supply was defective, and he would have the system repaired as soon as possible. On March 8, 1995, this investigator was contacted by Michael Waters. Mr. Waters stated that Jack Maddox was allowing the owner of the Ramada Hotel to remove the fire alarm system in the unoccupied, third, fourth, and fifth floors in B wing, if the owner removed all the combustibles from that area, and also shut off the power. Mr. Waters believed that eliminating the fire alarm system in the unoccupied areas would help solve the unexplained false alarm problem. The unoccupied areas are not temperature controlled and some of the vacant rooms were exposed to the outside elements because of missing air conditioning units from the walls. Mr. Waters will be testing the fire alarm system with the Beaumont Fire Department as soon as the owner removes the combustibles from the unoccupied areas. On March 8, 1995, Jack Maddox informed this investigator that he is very displeased with the fire alarm system at the Ramada Hotel, and that a follow-up investigation from the TCFP may be required II1. ALLEGED VIOLATIONS I. On or about January 1, 1992, Sonitrol Management Corporation, through it's agent or employee Patrick Speight and Patrick Speight individually completed the Fire Lite Alarms, Model Sensiscan 2000 fire alarm system at the Ramada Hotel, 2525 North 1 lth Street, Beaumont, Texas, even though the system was not in compliance as follows, contrary to the Texas Insurance Code, Article 5.43-2, section 7(3)(1989) Page 4 Case L-51-030-11-7 a. The detection Systems, Inc., model DS2(X)HD smoke detectors are not compatible with the Fire Lite, model Sensiscan 2000 fire alarm control unit, contrary to NFPA 72E, Article 2-5. 1.2 (1987), and section 27.207(9) Fire Alarm Rules (1989); b. .After completion of the installation, a fire alarm installation certificate was not completed and properly distributed, contrary to section 27.219(d) Fire Alarm Rules (1989). c. The fire alarm system was not properly designed to take in consideration that the environment in the individual rooms would initiate chronic false alarms in the room's smoke detectors; resulting in a general alarm signal sent through-out the hotel and the response of emergency vehicles from the local fire department, contrary to NFPA 72, Article 4-6.1 (1987), and section 27.219(9) Fire Alarm Rules (1989).

This building is in major need of renovations for it is in such tragic shape. it should be condemned or closed down until such repairs are completed and meets City codes. For example, the "C" building in the rear is nothing but a serious drug haven and fire hazard. It is completely destroyed on the inside. There are old mattresses all over the place, wallcovering falling off of the walls, etc. It also is home to several rodents. The same also holds for `B" building. There are windows that are missing or broken out. Curtains flying out of the windows, etc. There are also a lot of wall plates on the electrical plug ins that are missing, and this is a violation of city code. In "A" building there are some exposed wires that have not been fixed. These are in the first few rooms. Also I believe that they are suppose to use Fire coded sheetrock on their walls, and they are using only ', inch. I think this also is a violation of city code. The interior walls around the window area are completely rotted. They have metal studs and they are completely eaten up with rust. This cw surely be dangerous. I feel that with a thorough investigation of this building, you will see what I am talking about, and I am quite sure that you will close this place down until this business comes in compliance with the city ordinances like everyone else has to.

The fire alarm system must be of the addressable type. In order to comply with the Bureau of Fire Prevention's order, the existing system will be replaced in it's entirety. The cost of the new system is $ 57,352.00 plus tax, 50% down at the time of the contract signing and 50% at the completion of the job.

I ITH STREET, BEAUNIONT, TEXAS 77703 TEL: 409-924-8888 FAX: 409-898-7569 DA`I'E: July 13, 1999 Honorable Coun;ilnien and Councilwomen Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: My name is Irma Mayes. I am a long time resident of Beaumont. We are present employees of Guest Inn Hotel, formally Ramada Hotel located on 2525 N. I l th Street, Beaumont. I would like to speak few words to express my opinion in behalf of all our co-workers from the bottom of my heart. I have been working at this Hotel for more than 7 years. Some of us here in this group, even have been worked longer. I must say and I must retaliate to you that during this 7 years, there have never been an actual fire accident, any what so ever at all. These was a prove that our Hotel fire protection system is really working effectively. We had worked diligently, responsibly and dependably, It is true that the present Hotel's fire alarm system constantly went on giving false signals. There have been such a chronic problem for nearly 8 years since 1991 when. it was installed. We can say that this problem can only contribute the fire alarm system itself has yet a technical and/or a mechanical faulty. Nevertheless, you can never blame on us as workers performance or management problems. Furthermore, you can not use this as a reason to close down the whole Hotel.. Based on the fact I know of, our Hotel was originally built as a Sheraton Inn, called Spindletop, the symbol of Beaumont, At that time, a complete working system although it was an old type which is very similar to our home alarm type. However, the City Fire Marshall insisted to demand the Hotel to change to a new system when it was reopened. Unfortunately the new system was never proved to be workable. In fact, it is resulted in today's serious problem, the chronic false alarm. Therefore, he can not deny and escape from his responsibility. He is try to seek a scapegoat to wash out his responsibility instead. He has a power which can be abusive. People can Pagc 1 not blame him either, But I must ask him today aid now -When you close down the Hotel for his own good, has he ever think how our 20 more employees well being or not. Do you ever think how they are going to live. Has he ever think this problem seriously? I bet he never think of Can he arrange employment for every one of us? Can he pay bills in our behalf. Let him explain to all of us today and now!!! Not long time ago, the fire marshall had talked to one of our co-workers which I quote " None of the worker here in this Hotel will cooperate with me regarding the alarm problem.. The only one willing to cooperate with me was ex General Manager by name of C.M. Because of his cooperation with Tne, The owner of the Hotel finally fired him. He may do likewise toward you if you do a good job. The owner accuse all manager of with a good performance and that it would be just a matter of time who will accuse you and fire you" unquote. Here I have a letter written by himself stating such thing which I like to present to you as an evidence. Such a statement by fire marshall obviously and sufficiently express his intention that he look at our alarm problem as a personal matter. He was playing his power for his own benefit. Wasn't he??`? The fire marshall did not know the actual story, He only concluded by his personal judgement without look in to the truth. Now let me tell you who is he and how he poorly behave as a General Manager. He took advantage of owner's absent and stole a large amount of cash from Hotel's petty cash account. He repaired his own Cadillac and charged to Hotel. The Hotel CPA have the evidence. If you are interested I can obtain. the evidence for you. He also sold his old lawn mower to Hotel secretly at a very high price. He collected many invoices as much as he can and charged to the Hotel. There are more than sufficient evidences at Hotel showing how he embelezed the Hotel's money for his own personal uses, No wonder he was asked to quite before he was charged for a felony. Such a person later find a job at one of country club here in Beaumont. However, he was recently fired again from his job due to his poor behave. Look!! Such. a awful person with bad records, fire marshal] keep appraising Page 2 :, a most cooperative person with him. Let me ask hire how he want us to cooperate with him. i strongly believe the judgement of fire marshall is a real problem. Don't you all agree!1! Fire Marshall repeatedly intimidates to close the hotel down. I must ask him by closing down the Hotel what he can accomplish forts He accomplish none. Absolutely none what so ever!!! (quite contrary, if the building ever closed, under the condition of no one taking care of, I bet you a lot of homeless people will sneak in to the building. Therefore, the building becomes more fire hazardous. You!! fire rnarshall!!! Will you and can you accept these responsibilities!11 You must speak out now loud and clear. Do you want be liable for the all consequential legal responsibility??? At last, I want to speak out for all our co-workers. We want to live!!!. We want spend the living expenses!!!. We want pay our bills!!!. We want to keep our present jobs!!!. There are our utmost right as a citizen!!! We even want to express our voice loud and clear to our President C lin.ton!!! "LIFE, WORK, PAYING BILLS AND TAXES are our basic human right. No one can even you fire Marshall can strip such human right from us. Tharik you!! Page 3 CITY OF BEAUMONT u, PUBLIC WORKS INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: July 9, 1999 r TO: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager FROM: Tom Warner, Public Works Director SUBJECT: CONCORD ROAD - PHASE H COMMENTS The construction of Concord Road from IH-10 to East Lucas was divided into three phases. The limits of construction for each phase are approximately IH-10 to St. Helena, from St. Helena to the railroad tracks and from the railroad tracks to East Lucas. Construction of Phase I began in December 1998 and is currently 36 percent complete with 30 percent of the construction time used. The Engineer for Phases I and II of the project recently submitted plans for construction of the drainage outfall associated with Phase II. Due to the length of the outfall (1.5 miles), roadway improvements to Concord Road are proposed to be included in a separate contract. The proposed outfall will be constructed within the Delaware Street right-of-way from Concord Road to Pine Street. The outfall will continue on Pine Street to Manning Street and then down Manning Street to the Neches River. There are fifteen parcels that will be acquired because of this construction. The estimate.cost for the drainage outfall is $5.0 million. Completion of the outfall is necessary before beginning the roadway improvements to Phase II of Concord Road. It is anticipated that roadway improvements will be let for bid and construction beginning in the fall of 2000. The estimated cost for the roadway improvements in Phase II is $ 3.5 million. The lans and p specifications for Phase III of Concord Road are approximately 65 percent complete. The anticipated letting date for this phase is January 2000 with construction starting in late February or early March of 2000. • To: Stephen J. Bonczek From: Tom Warner Subject: Concord Road Phase II June 9, 1999 Page 2 of 2 The Public Works Department is prepared to review the outfall plans and status of the Concord Road Project with City Council during the July 13, 1999 City Council meeting.
