March 30, 1984 Council Letter 412 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Subject: Ordinance Amending the 1984 Budget and authorizing Employment of Sibson and Company, Inc. The employment of Sibson and Company, Inc. for professional services related to the development of a Classification-Compensation Plan for the City of Beaumont is properly classified as a one-time, non-recurring expense. This program is a crucial part of our continuing efforts in the area of improve- ments within the work force of the City. As per the policy of this Council , expenditures of this nature are to be budgeted out of Fund balance in the General Fund. The ordinance recommended for approval transfers $115,000 from Fund balance to the professional services line item within the Personnel Department. This amount will be sufficient to employ Sibson and Company and will also cover any additional staff expenses that may be incurred in this long and complex effort. We have attached, for reference, Council Letter 390 which details the scope of the effort by Sibson and Company, Inc. It is recommended that the ordinance be approved. '- GQ-L Karl Nollenberger City Manager W/S March 23, 1984 1. Council Letter 390 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Subject: Classification and Compensation Program Enclosed is a proposal from Sibson and Company which describes a work plan for the redesign of a classification and salary administration program for full-time civilians of the City of Beaumont. Sibson and Company was founded in 1959 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson and Higgins, which is the City's current insurance broker through the Texas Municipal League. Sibson is a leading management consulting firm specializing in human rela- tions and compensation management, and is recognized nationally for high- quality work in salary compensation and administration, job evaluation, sales force compensation, performance appraisal and employee communication. Sib- son and Company is recognized as a leading source of information covering national trends and compensation levels and practices of the insurance in- dustry, banking industry, sales industry and public sector. This study is recommended because the last consultant study of the City's job classification and compensation program occurred in 1974. The primary objective of this project will be to establish equitable pay levels for ap- proximately 900 civilian jobs. To accomplish this task, the internal com- parison of jobs will be made by a City Department Head Committee. Analysis of external competitiveness will result from a market survey done by Sibson personnel . Sibson's job in this project will be to assume the role of facilitator to accomplish consensus group decision-making and team building among a City Department Head Task Force which will oversee this study. This approach will aid successful implementation through the participation and ownership Of City Department Heads in makin- decisions on program scope and implementa- tion. Procedures will be developed in establishing this new compensation plan which will allow for on-going maintenance and updating by the City staff after Sibson completes this assignment. Highlights of total project elements are as follows: I. Defining the Objectives and Scope of the Project. This element will take the form of interviews with De- partment Heads to define management philosophy and strategy to obtain input from key management personnel ( on desired compensation and classification practices. Council Letter 390 March 23, 1984 Page 2 II. Program Planning. Sibson's Chicago staff will conduct a program to train the Personnel Director and Assistant Personnel Director in the following areas: A. How to conduct job analysis; B. How to write job descriptions and instruct others in the writing of job descriptions; C. How to evaluate jobs; D. How to conduct job evaluation sessions; and, E. How to administer the salary program. III, Appointment of Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will consist of a group of Department Heads who will work on job evaluation and the internal ranking of jobs during the course of this project. After completion of this project, the com- mittee will have rotating membership to include a wide range of input from the City. Sibson and Company will work with the Compensation Committee and review al- ternative job evaluation methods to determine which best meets the City's needs. The Compensation Committee then will make the final policy making decision regard- ing the internal ranking of civilian jobs. Department Head jobs will be evaluated by the Consul- tants for review by the City Manager. IV. Conducting Market Surveys for Hourly and Salaried Jobs. A major objective of this project is to establish internal equity among jobs in the City of Beaumont. However, it will also be necessary to establish the external compe- titiveness and equity of the Classification Plan designed by the Compensation Committee. Therefore, Sibson and Company will conduct surveys of relevant private and public employers in relevant labor markets and analyze the survey results in order to make recommendations re- gaiding the pay levels associated with the classification of all jobs. Council Letter 390 ,larch 23, 1984 Page 3 V. Designing Pay-for-Performance Procedures. This work involves introducing pay for performance alternatives to Department Heads which will include the topics of goal-setting, performance planning and administration of pay. VI. Other Implementation Procedures. Other assistance provided by Sibson and Company will in- clude assisting the Compensation Committee with the task of internal ranking of jobs and assigning values to jobs and assisting the personnel staff in costing the new salary structure. VII. Designing the New Classification and Compensation Plan. Sibson and Company will provide a detailed Classification Manual to include the following sections: A. The Scope and Objectives of the Classification Programs; B. Job Analysis Procedures. C. Job Documentation and Description Procedures; D. Job Evaluation and Classification Procedures; E. Merit Pay Increases (if required) ; F. Structure and Progression Increases (if required) ; G. Promotions; H. Transfers; I. Appeals Procedures; , J. Requests for Reclassification; and, K. Updating the Plan. VIII. Time Table. At this time, it is estimated that the project will re- quire a minimum of approximately 180 days from beginning to completion and a maximum of 270 days. Project cost shall not exceed $115,000.

March 30, 1984 Council Letter 421 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Subject: Proposed Ordinance Prohibiting Sale or Gift of Certain Baby Animals The sale of certain baby animals as pets, particularly around Easter, poses problems concerning inhumane treatment these animals often receive and health problems and diseases they may spread to humans. The staff is proposing to ban the sale of these baby animals as pets, on a year-round basis, to solve these two problems. The ordinance would specifically allow the continued sale of these animals for commercial breeding purposes, or for educational , scientific or govern- mental purposes. Feed stores selling baby chicks to farmers, for example, would not be affected. Neither would 4H or FFA students or similar legiti- mate projects. The proposed ordinance would ban the sale of baby chicks, ducklings, goslings, skunks, raccoons, oppossums, foxes, turtles, or bats under three weeks of age - or rabbits under two months of age - as pets. The ordinance would also ban the dyeing of these baby animals. The baby chicks, ducklings, goslings and turtles are often implicated in the spread of salmonellosis - an acute gastro-intestinal illness with symptoms similar to the flu - and other illnesses. Young children often handle these young pets and become contaminated from their wastes. The baby skunks, rac- coons, oppossums, foxes and bats are prime carriers of rabies. In addition to these health concerns, these baby animals are often mistreated by their young owners and are severely injured or killed. The Humane Society must deal yearly with a number of cases of abandoned rabbits and chickens when the young owner's fascination with the animal has worn off - if the animal has survived. This ordinance will effectively end the major portion of inhumane treatment these animals receive and will significantly reduce the health problems associated with them. It is recommended that this ordinance be adopted. Karl Nollenberger City Manager ORDINANCE NO. ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE MAKING IT AN OFFENSE TO SELL, OFFER FOR SALE, BARTER, LEASE OR GIVE AWAY, OR CHANGE THE NATURAL COLOR OF CERTAIN BABY ANIMALS IN THE CITY OF BEAUMONT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL AND PROVIDING A PENALTY. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: Section 1 . It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to knowingly sell, offer for sale, barter, lease or give away baby chickens, ducklings , goslings , skunks, raccoons, foxes, turtles, opossums or bats under three ( 3 ) weeks of age or rabbits under two ( 2 ) months of age as pets, or to color, dye, stain or otherwise change the natural color of baby chickens, ducklings , goslings , skunks, raccoons, foxes, opossums, bats, turtles or rabbits. It is a defense to this section that the sale or exchange of such baby chickens, ducklings , goslings , skunks, raccoons, foxes, opossums, bats, turtles or rabbits was for commercial breeding purposes or for scientific, educational, or governmental purposes. Section 2 . That if any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance, or the application of same to a particular set of persons or circumstances, should for any reason be held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions of this ordinance, and to such end the various portions and provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.

The bids were as follows: Kinsel Ford $10,649.33 JK Chevrolet 10,997.00 The Community Facilities Department will use this light-duty truck to trans- port tables and seating and other materials from one of their sites to another. This item was in the Fleet Replacement Budget for this fiscal year with an estimate on its cost of $20,000. Kinsel Ford did not meet specifi- cations in their bid because they are supplying a 63 amp battery, as opposed to the 70 amp battery called for in the specifications. This is a minor de- viation and the price difference is $350. It is recommended that the bid of Kinsel Ford be approved.

It was determined that the batteries had to be replaced. This evaluation forced the staff to consider other alternatives, which resulted in the March 27th Council decision to approve the emergency purchase of a standby generator for the Civic Center.

This herbicide is classified as a growth- retardant chemical and acts to control broad-leaf grasses and weeds and does not affect narrow-leaf grasses, such as bermuda. The proposed purchase of an additional 30 gallons of a different herbicide will enable the Department to utilize a chemical for weed and grass control around ornamental plantings and ground cover areas. The Nalco-Trol I proposed for purchase is an additive agent, intended to be used to control drifting of the herbicides when they are being applied. Council Letter 413 March 30, 1984 Page 2 While Helena Chemical and Chem-Spray both bid $8,800 for 1,000 gallons of the MSMA herbicide, the bid of Helena Chemical had a shorter delivery date and purchase is recommended from Helena. The bid from Helena for the 30 gallons of herbicide for $2,310 is recommended as the lowest and best bid. Ilan Waters and Rogers bid of $1,585.80 for 60 gallons of Nalco-Trol I is the lowest and best bid for this item. The total expenditure amounts to $12,695.80.

Because of the re- quirement, the combined bid of Data Aids for $5,450.50 for the multiplexers and the line drivers is the best and lowest quote. The apparent low bids on the daisywheel teleprinter from Domino Computer and Devcom Mid-America do not include installation and maintenance, as was required in the bid. Therefore, the bid of Helena Labs in the amount of $5,715 is recommended for the teleprinter and the two serial printers. The quote of $10,064 from Devcom is recommended on terminals. It is recommended that the resolution approving purchases from Helena Labs, Data Aids and Devcom be approved. Karl Nollenberger City Manager i R E S O L U T I O N WHEREAS, bids were received for the purchase of computer equipment; and, WHEREAS, the following bids were submitted: Helena Laboratories 2 Serial Printers - $ 3 ,350. 00 1 Daisywheel Teleprinter - 2 ,365. 00 Data Aids 2 8-Channel Multiplexors - $ 4 ,996.00 2 Asynchronous Line Drivers - 454 .50 Anderson Jacobson 2 Lease Line Modems - $ 947.90 Devcom Mid America 16 Terminals - $10 ,064. 00 and, WHEREAS, the City Council is of the opinion that the bids submitted above are the best bids and should be accepted; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the bids submitted above in the amounts stated for the purchase of computer equipment is hereby accepted by the City of Beaumont.

March 30, 1984 Council Letter 409 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Subject: Purchase of Tractors and Flail Mowers for Parks Department On March 5th of this year, bids were received from several vendors for the purchase of tractors and flail mowers that are used in our Parks maintenance and grounds upkeep activities. The bids were as follows: Tractors Flail Mowers Audilet Tractors $16,940 $4,700 Oil City Tractors 25,326 4,242 International Harvester 23,878 4,400 Hyco Equipment 25,644 3,800 With respect to the purchase of the tractors, the apparent low bid received from Audilet Tractors failed to meet specifications with respect to the stipulated horsepower called for in the bid specifications. Therefore, in the particular case of the tractors, the lowest bid meeting specifications is that submitted by International Harvester for $23,878. In the case of the flail mowers, or cutters, used in mowing activities, the apparent low bid of Hyco Equipment for the flail mowers failed to meet specifications in that the weight of the unit was less than the specified amount called for in our bid. It is necessary, in this case, to call for a specific weight amount in that the weight of the unit directly relates to the materials used in the construction. Obviously, a heavier unit will stand up to the heavy usage placed on this type of equipment by our Parks Department. The second low quote received from Oil City Tractors for $4,242, is recommended for purchase. Some $30,000 for these purchases was budgeted in the 1984 Fleet Replacement Fund. The combined total of these bids is $28,120. It is recommended that the bid of International Harvestor and Oil City Tractors for these pieces of equipment be approved. 1�•x- t�1 I � Karl Nollenberger City Manager R E S O L U T I O N WHEREAS, bids were received for the purchase of two ( 2 ) tractors and two ( 2) flail mowers; and, WHEREAS, International Harvestor Co. and Oil City Tractors of Beaumont, Texas submitted bids in the amounts of $23,878 for the purchase of two ( 2) tractors and $ 4, 242 for the purchase of two ( 2 ) flail mowers, respectively; and, WHEREAS, the City Council is of the opinion that the bids submitted by International Harvestor Co. and Oil City Tractors are the lowest and best bids and should be accepted; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT : THAT the bids submitted by International Harvestor Co. and Oil City Tractors in the amounts of $23,878 and $ 4 ,242 for the purchase of two ( 2) tractors and two ( 2) flail mowers, respectively , are hereby accepted by the City of Beaumont. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the day of 19 Mayor - 12. March 30, 1984 Council Letter 418 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Subject: Amending Guidelines of the Commercial Rehabilitation Loan Program 1983 Jobs Bill Statement The 1983 Community Development Block Grant Jobs Bill Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds budgeted $100,000 for a Commercial Rehabilitation Loan Program in the Charlton-Pollard Neighborhood or Census Tract 17. This budget was approved by Council in May of 1983. The funds were to be used to provide rehabilitation loans for small busi- nesses such as laundromats, drugstores, cleaners, or other neighborhood con- venience stores. The City's Housing Rehabilitation staff advertised for proposals during a six-month period. No response to the request for pro- posals has been received. In order to attempt to resolve this lack of interest, the Program Adminis- tration Subcommittee of the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) met on March 22, 1984, to discuss the situation. It was determined that the pro- gram restriction allowing these types of improvements only in Census Tract 17 was incorrect because of the lack of interest in the area. Therefore, the Subcommittee recommended amending the guidelines of the Commercial Rehabili- tation Program to expand the program into the entire Community Development Strategy Area which includes Census Tract numbers 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 18, 22, 23, and a portion of 19 and 20. The Citizen's Advisory Committee re- viewed the Subcommittee's recommendation during the March 22, 1984, meeting and voted 9 to 0 to recommend that City Council amend the Commercial Re- habilitation Loan Program guidelines expanding the program into the entire Community Development Strategy Area. The Planning staff concurs with this recommendation. It. is recommended that that resolution be approved. Karl Nollenberger City Manager R E S O L U T I O N BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the Commercial Rehabilitation Loan Program budgeted in the 1983 CDBG Jobs Bill Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds in the amount of $100,000 be expanded to include the entire Community Development Strategy Area which includes Census Tract Numbers 7 , 8 , 9 „ 10, 15, 17 , 18 , 22, 23, and a portion of 19 and 20. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the day of 1984. Mayor - 13. March 30, 1984 Council Letter 419 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Subject: Amending Guidelines of the Community Development Block Grant Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program The present loan limits of the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program sets a maximum loan amount of $15,000. The Loan Advisory Board has the authority to increase the loan by ten percent if unusual circumstances exist. In ad- dition, up to a $1,500 energy conservation package can be added to the loan. When all options are added, it can increase the loan limit to a maximum of $18,000. In addition, many loan applications are being turned down because of ex- cessive costs and a lot of staff time is being spent on the excessive costs eases. The Program Administration Subcommittee of the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) met on March 2, 1984. It was determined that the Loan Advisory Board is currently exercising its authority to increase every loan when needed by the ten percent on a routine basis, thereby increasing the loan limit to a maximum of $18,000. Also, the Subcommittee concluded that many loan applications were being turned down due to excessive costs. Therefore, the Subcommittee recommended amending the guidelines of the Housing Re- habilitation Loan Program by raising the loan limit to a maximum of $18,000 with discretion remaining with the Loan Advisory Board to increase the loan limit by the ten percent for exceptional cases. The CAC reviewed the Subcommittee's recommendation during the March 22, 1984 meeting and voted 10 to 0 to recommend that City Council amend the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program guidelines by raising the loan limit to a maximum of $18,000. The Planning staff concurs with this recommendation. It is recommended that the resolution authorizing the amendment of the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program Guidelines be adopted.
