Council Letter 113
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Revisions to Food Service Sanitation Code
As discussed in a Council Work Session, four minor amendments to the City's
Food Service Sanitation Code have been recommended by the Health Department
to remedy particular concerns that have arisen since the new code was im-
plemented April 1, 1984. They are:
1. Changing the current food manager's certification exemption
for all non-profit organizations to read "non-profit organi-
zations, except those conducting schools, day care, nursing
home, halfway houses , or boarding home operations". This
change will require these groups to have a trained and certi-
fied food service manager on staff and will subject these
operations to the same requirements as their for-profit
counterparts, including the payment of the fee for such
training and certification. We are recommending that
schools be included because they serve a large volume of
children.
2. Changing the current food manager's certification exemption
for establishments providing only beverages and pre-packaged
food to read "food service establishments providing only
beverages, popcorn and pre-packaged foods". This will
exempt some ten establishments currently serving only popcorn
and soft drinks.
3. Establishing a new permit fee of $37.50 for seasonal con-
cession stands (Little League, school athletic concessions ,
Golden Gators, snow cone stands, etc. ) . This fee will cover
operations running over two weeks, but less than 120 days.
These establishments currently pay the full minimum $75.00
fee for regular food service establishments.
4. Changing the current grading and placarding system to include
a "superior" rating along with the "average" and "above average"
ratings. Under this system, when an establishment maintains
an "above average" rating for three consecutive inspections
with a grade of 80 or above, it would qualify for a "superior"
rating.
It is recommended that this ordinance be adopted.

Council Letter 107
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Plumbing Code Change Amendment
Over the past several months, there has been considerable discussion concerning
t:he use and installation of PVC (plastic pipes) in commercial buildings over
three stories in height. A principal product of smoldering vinyl is hydrogen
chloride, a toxic gas, that upon contact with moisture in the air or in the
lungs, turns instantly to hydrochloric acid. Inhalation is injurious or
deadly.
In the MGM Grand Hotel fire in Las Vegas , 78 of the 84 deaths resulted from
breathing toxic fumes. Approximately 60 percent of the hotel furnishings con-
tained polyvinyl chloride (PVC) . Commercial plastics have a high ignition
temperature, but all will eventually burn and emit thick smoke, large amounts
of poisonous carbon monoxide and a variety of lung-damaging chemical fumes.
The Plumbing and Mechanical Board of Review met in August of this year and
voted unanimously to disallow the use of Schedule 40 plastic drain waste and
vent pipes in buildings over three stories in height. It will be required
that buildings over three stories use cast iron pipes for topping out with
cropper arms on lavatories and sinks with chrome traps. Galvanized arms on
stinks and lavatories is permissible if drainage fittings are used.
Plumbing code changes of this nature are occurring throughout the major
Texas cities as a result of the Las Vegas fire, and are strongly recommended
by Beaumont's Fire Department.
It is recommended that this amendment of the Plumbing code be approved.

iron. Cast iron pipe shall be used for

Council Letter 108
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Appropriation. of Funds and Employment of Consultant Firm for Data
Processing Study.
At the Work Session on November 6th, Council discussed the employment of the
L.WFW Group, a professional consulting firm, to develop a long-range data pro-
cessing plan for the City. This plan will enable the City staff to:
- Plan for expenditures and resource requirements for informa-
tion processing.
- Identify high-priority information needs within the City
operations.
- Provide, guidance to City personnel regarding their various
departments'/divisions' status for information processing.
- Plan for the structured/controlled growth of the City's in-
formation processing systems.
The study approach to be utilized will incorporate the following work steps:
- Identify Management Information requirements.
- Review Management Information Systems.
- Develop resource requirements.
- Review potential (alternative) information processing
strategies.
- Prepare a long-range Information Processing Plan.
It is anticipated that the study will be completed in a 14-week period. The
total cost for the study is $47,190 with the monies necessary for the study to
be charged against the monies currently being reserved by the City for the
settlement of the bank stock case. It is reasonable to utilize a small portion
of this encumberance for this important study, because we believe the settle-
ment of the pending cases will release more than this amount for other uses.
It is recommended that this ordinance be adopted.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Award of Bids for Signal Equipment
Bids were recently received to purchase traffic signal equipment for fiscal
year 1985. This equipment will be used to upgrade existing signalized inter-
sections in the Highland, College and Liberty/Laurel Street Projects. In ad-
dition, the equipment will be used for new installations during the fiscal
year. The general specifications require all prices to be firm for one year
after date of award by Council .
The low bidders are recommended for all items except Items No. 2 and 5. Nor-
mally, Items 1, 2 and 4 are purchased as one unit. This year, the items were
separated so they could be purchased on an individual basis throughout the
year. The second low bidder for Item No. 2 was the low bidder on Items 1
and 4. It is recommended that Item 2 be purchased from the second low bidder
in order to maintain compatibility of equipment which would not be possible
if the low bid item were purchased. The difference in cost between the low
bidder and second low bidder is $6 per unit, or a total of $144. The low bid-
der for Item 5 does not meet the specifications; therefore, it is recommended
that this item be awarded to the second low bidder. A bid tabulation covering
this varied purchase is attached. Quantities are approximate.
It is recommended that the signal equipment bids be awarded as indicated below:

Subject: Landfill Certification Cell Program Phase II
On July 26, 1983, the City of Beaumont entered into an Engineering Services
Contract with Deevy and Shannon-Freese and Nichols Consulting Engineers, to
perform field surveying, engineering design and drafting to formulate con-
struction plans for the Landfill Certification Cell Program Phase I. The
construction of this phase is nearing completion and Phase II construction
plans are required.
The Phase II scope of work consists of performing all field surveying, en-
gineering design an- drafting necessary to develop sectors 3 and 4 of the
Sanitary Landfill . The work needed will include:
- Installation of a road southeasterly along Gulf Pipeline
corridor from the existing main access road to about 500
feet from the east property line; then, south to the south
property line of the tract.
- Installation of drainage ditches along the new road, and
along the east and south property lines of the tract.
- Installation of permanent and temporary levees around the
perimeter of the area to be developed.
- Installation of perimeter fencing around the area to be de-
veloped.
Deevy and Shannon-Freese and Nichols was the only consulting firm asked to
submit a proposal for Phase II Engineering Services because of their familiarity
with the project and accessibility to field data they collected for Phase I.
It is , therefore, recommended that the City Council consider a resolution
authorizing a contract with Deevy and Shannon-Freese and Nichols Consulting
Engineers to provide these engineering services at a not-to-exceed amount
of $17,460. Monies are available within the Landfill budget for this purpose.
It is recommended that this resolution be approved.

Council Letter 114
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: First Reading of Ordinance Amending Franchise with
Liberty Tele-Communications, Inc.
On August 21, 1984, the Council enacted an ordinance establishing
new rates for Liberty TV Cable which provided for an immediate
one dollar increase, with an additional one dollar to be charged
only when the company had installed standby power and provided
an opportunity for all subscribers to get a channel selector.
Additionally, that ordinance provided that the company could
institute one dollar increases during any 12-month period, commencing
on September 1, 1985 . In effect, this was a provision that
deregulated rate increases to the extent of one dollar per year.
As an element of the negotiation concerning the rate increase,
Liberty Cable agreed to amend the franchise to increase the franchise
fee to three percent of all cable revenues. Presently, the franchise
provides for three percent of basic cable service only. In return
for this franchise fee increase, the City agreed to extend the
term of the franchise until 15 years after April 1, 1984 .
Immediately prior to the third and final reading on the franchise
amendment, Congress passed comprehensive cable legislation. Two
of the major elements of this legislation provided that:
(1) franchises could require the payment of a franchise fee equal
to five percent of the cable operator' s gross revenues and '
(2) extinguished the City's right to regulate the rates of the
cable company at the end of a two-year period after the effective
date of the legislation. Because of this new legislation, we
recommended that the third reading of the franchise amendment be
deferred pending renegotiation with the cable company.
City staff met with Liberty to renegotiate a new franchise
amendment in light of the new legislation. As a result of the
renegotiation, the franchise amendment presented at Tuesday' s
Council meeting is recommended for your consideration.
The proposed franchise amendment would have the following effect:
1. Franchise fees would be increased to five percent of
the cable operator' s gross revenues .
Council Letter 114
November 9 , 1984
Page 2
2. The term of the franchise would be extended 20 years
from and after April 1, 1984 .
3. The City' s right to regulate the rates of the cable
system would be terminated.
4 . The franchise would provide that should federal
legislation or regulations ever be amended to provide
for franchise fee in excess of five percent, the City
could impose such fee automatically.
It is recommended that this franchise ordinance be passed on
first reading.

Subject: Beaumont Public Library System Endowment Trust
For approximately four months, the Beaumont Library Commission has been
studying the establishment of a trust for the Library System. After much
discussion among themselves and with the Director of Libraries, City At-
torney and Finance Director, they voted unanimously to recommend to Council
the establishment of the "Beaumont Public Library System Endowment Trust".
This will allow individuals who wish to give a gift to the Library and have
that gift provide benefits in perpetuity, to do so. Such an endowment cur-
gently does exist in the Miller Trust Fund. The Miller Endowment provides
some $150,000 annually to defray the operating costs of the Miller Library.
This Endowment Fund will provide benefits to the entire Library System.
It is recommended that this resolution be approved.

Council Letter 105
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
.Subject: New Flood Hazard Boundary Maps
The City's Code of Ordinances includes provisions for regulating development
in flood-prone areas as identified on the Federal Government's Flood Hazard
Boundary Map. The City adopted this ordinance so that Beaumont residents
and businesses would be eligible to purchase flood insurance.
The City has been incormed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
that, as of December 4, 1984, a new Flood Hazard Boundary Map will be in ef-
fect. This map will be used by FEMA to set flood insurance rates and by the
City to review building permit applications for compliance with Federal flood
insurance regulations.
The new maps will differ from those now in use in several respects:
- The 100-year floodplain (the area defined by FEMA as
being subject to a 1 percent chance of flooding in
any given year) boundaries will be changed. Several
areas in west Beaumont not currently classified as
floodplains will be designated as floodplains on the
new maps.
- Currently, all new construction in the City must have
a "top of slab" elevation of 15.01 feet above mean sea
level or higher. The new maps will show different mini-
mum elevations for each segment of each major flood-
prone stream or drainageway. This will make building
permitting less restrictive in some parts of extreme
south Beaumont and more restrictive in some parts of
north and west Beaumont.
- Under the new map, a critical portion of the floodplain,
designated as the Floodway, must be left undeveloped.
The staff is currently updating the flood hazard ordinance to comply with
FEMA's regulations. The map will be available for review and discussion
at the meeting.

Council Letter 112
Honorable Mayor and

Subject: Child Seat Restraint Law and Loaner Program
The Texas Legislature, during the recent special session, passed a law requir-
ing all children under the age of two riding in passenger cars or light trucks ,
to be properly restrained in an approved child restraint seat, and all children
between the ages of two to four to be restrained, either in an approved seat
or by seat belts. The law took effect October 31, 1984, but penalties will
riot be imposed until January 1, 1985.
Because of the cost of purchasing these seats (from $35 to over $100) , the
impact of this law on the poor and under-privileged citizens of our community
could be significant. The Health Department has been concerned that the bulk
of its clients would be severly impacted. As a result, the Department has ar-
ranged for the Jefferson County Medical Auxiliary, in cooperation with the
Health Department, to develop and staff a child care safety seat "loaner" pro-
gram out of the Health Department. The Health Department will provide office
space and furniture, utilities and telephones, and support services for train-
ing of volunteers, media contacts, and assistance with fund-raising outreach
to the community. The medical auxiliary will staff and run the program and
will be responsible for all operations.
Health Department employees and a few other individuals have contributed the
initial funds to purchase the first 20 seats. Health Department clients have
now signed up for the loaner program waiting list, now exceeding 100 individuals.
The medical auxiliary plans to launch the program with the initial 20 seats
on November 12, 1984, and begin an outreach for additional funds. Individuals
participating in the loaner program will be required to deposit $20 for an
infant seat and $15 for a toddler seat (of which all but $5 will be refunded
upon return of the seat) and also participate in a training demonstration
effort to ensure proper use of the device.
This effort marks the first time the Health Department has involved a volun-
teer group with its programs. This joint effort between the medical auxiliary
and the Health Department should prove of great value to our community.

Subject: Revised Community Development Block Grant Historic Preservation
Program Guidelines
The 1984 Community Development Block Grant Final Statement of Objectives and
Projected Use of Funds budgeted $87,250 for the Historic Preservation Program
which provides grants that help to maintain Beaumont's past and cultural
heritage by rehabilitating historic properties.
The Beaumont Historical Landmark Commission which administers the program,
met on October 3, 1984, to review the program guidelines. The Beaumont
Landmark Commission voted 4 to 3 to recommend to City Council that the guide-
lines be revised to require private matching funds for historic preservation
rehabilitation grants. The type of funding recommended is as follows:
- Residential property owned by a family of income that exceeds
80 percent of the City's median income will require the gran-
tee to provide a match of 10 percent private funding.
- Residential property owned by a family of income between 51
percent and 80 percent of the City's median income (moderate
income) will require the grantee to provide a match of 3 per-
cent private funding.
- Residential property owned by a family of income of 50 percent
or less of the City's median income (low income) will require
the grantee to provide a match of one percent private funding.
These revised guidelines all differ from the present in-place guidelines in
that our present policy requires no match under any circumstances as a require-
ment for receipt of a grant. As these proposed guidelines recommend a sub-
stantive change in procedure, we feel that is is appropriate to discuss the
issue fully in a Work Session.
