PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 27th day of April, - Mayor Becky Ames - c RICH WITH OPPORTUNITY BEA,11M"GN* T• E• X - A - S TO: FROM: PREPARED BY: MEETING DATE: REQUESTED ACTION: City Council Agenda Item City Council Kyle Hayes, City Manager AC Tyrone E. Cooper, City Attorne April 27, 2010 Consider a resolution denying the request to approve the accumulation of vacation leave from year to year. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends denial of the request to carry over vacation leave from one year to a subsequent year. BACKGROUND The International Association of Firefighters, Local 399, on behalf of Firefighters James Landrum and Frank Neal, has requested the Council to consider the carry over of vacation leave from one year to a subsequent year. These two firefighters were, at one time, out on workers' compensation due to on-the-job injuries. Employees injured on the job receive full compensation while they are out on workers' compensation. James Landrum's previously earned vacation time was lost and not carried over while he was out on injury leave. Mr. Landrum retired from the fire service on October 31, 2009. Frank Neal was taken off workers' compensation and allowed to take vacation leave rather than lose it during the time of his injury leave. Neal wants restored the vacation time he has previously taken and be allowed to carry it over to a subsequent year to be used once he is released from his medical leave. The Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City and the IAFF Local 399 does not make an exception for the carryover of vacation leave. The Agreement at Article XIII, Section 2, states, in part: "All vacation time earned in a calendar year must be taken in the following calendar year." The Texas Local Government Code, at Section 143.046(c), gives to the City Council the ability to approve the accumulation of vacation leave from year to year for firefighters and police officers. In light of the fact that employees injured on the job receive full compensation and continue to accrue leave while on workers' compensation, the Administration is of the opinion that the carryover of vacation time is not merited. The Administration would recommend the denial of the request. RESOLUTION NO. WHEREAS, the City of Beaumont and the International Association of Firefighters, Local 399 (hereinafter "IAFF 399"), entered into a Collective Bargaining Agreement effective February 13, 2008; and WHEREAS, Article XIII, Section 2, addresses vacation leave, how it is earned and how it is to be scheduled and taken; and WHEREAS, the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Article XIII, Section 2, does not allow exceptions as to the absolute no vacation carryover provision; and WHEREAS, Local Government Code, Section 143.046(c), gives to the municipality's governing body the ability to approve the accumulation of vacation leave from year to year; and WHEREAS, neitherthe Beaumont City Manager northe Beaumont Fire Chief have been delegated authority to grant exceptions to Article XIII, Section 2, to allow the carryover of vacation leave from year to year; and WHEREAS, any past exceptions made to such provision were not in compliance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement or Local Government Code, Section 143.046(c); and WHEREAS, the City Council for the City of Beaumont does not intend to amend the Collective Bargaining Agreement except as provided for by Article XXXIII; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the request by IAFF 399 on behalf of Firefighters James Landrum and Frank Neal to carry over vacation leave from one year to a subsequent year and is of the opinion that it would not be in the best interest of the citizens of Beaumont to grant the request and, therefore, the request should be denied; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the statements and findings set out in the preamble to this resolution are hereby, in all things, approved and adopted. THAT the request by the International Association of Firefighters, Local 399, on behalf of Firefighters James Landrum and Frank Neal to carry over vacation leave to a subsequent year be and it is hereby denied. THAT the meeting at which this resolution was approved was, in all things, conducted in strict compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 551. 2010.

BACKGROUND On the 10th day of November, 2009, an arbitrator selected for arbitration for the grievance of James Mathews ruled that James Mathews should be fully reinstated forthwith. City Attorney for the City of Beaumont appealed the ruling of the impartial arbitrator to the 60'' District Court alleging the arbitrator had gone beyond his jurisdiction and entered an arbitration award in error. Firefighter Mathews responded, and the matter was heard by the Judge of the 60' District Court who ruled that the arbitration award was correct based on Article 143.53(f). The Judge entered a judgment dismissing the City's appeal and a writ of mandamus directing the City to immediately restore firefighter Mathews to his former position with full back pay and benefits. Although there has been amendment to Local Government Code 143.052, there are numerous cases prior to this amendment holding that substantial compliance with the requirement that a firefighter be given a detailed list of reasons for discharge or indefinite suspension, each tied to a specific rule. However, there has not been a case directly in point decided since recent amendments holding that such a strict standard is required. In view of the fact the City would like to clarify its duty in this respect, it is the opinion of this office that a proper way to do so is to appeal the judgment dismissing the appeal of the City and the writ of mandamus. This office seeks authorization to file an appeal to review said opinion of the Judge in this matter. BUDGETARY IMPACT It is the recommendation of this counsel that firefighter Mathews be returned to duty and payment be made for his past lost wages and benefits. Therefore, the appeal would not incur any additional liability in this respect; and the amount of attorney's fees and court costs required in such an appeal will be relatively small. RESOLUTION NO. THAT The Parker Law Firm be and is hereby authorized to appeal No. B-185,387; The City of Beaumont, Tx v. James Mathews currently pending in the 60`' District Court of Jefferson County, Texas, regarding the dismissal of the City's appeal and writ of mandamus to immediately restore firefighter Mathews to duty with full back pay and benefits. 2010.

RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approval of the zone change. BACKGROUND Faust Engineering & Surveying, Inc., has applied for a zone change. The property owner owns 3.8 acres at the northeast comer of Baker and Wescalder. On part of this property, the owner operates a business. All of the 3.8 acres is zoned LI. The owner would like to construct a house on 0.74 acres of his lot. Light Industrial zoning does not allow residential uses. Therefore, the subject property must be rezoned to allow the construction of a house. Most of the property in the area is zoned RS. At a Joint Public Hearing held April 19, 2010, the Planning Commission recommended 7:0 to approve a zone change from LI (Light Industrial) District to RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District for property on the north side of Baker Road, 287.10' east of Wescalder Road.

RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approval of the zone change and specific use permit request, subject to the following conditions: Enclose the dump truck parking area with an 8' tall wood screening fence for a distance of 50' along Concord and 50' running north to south so that the trucks cannot be seen from Concord. Limit the number of dump trucks to two. BACKGROUND Evilio Hernandez has applied for a zone change and specific use permit. Mr. Hernandez states that he has owned the subject property for 15 years. The Hernandez family lives at 6840 Concord, just north of the property. Mr. Hernandez states that the reason for the zone change and specific use permit is to enable him to park up to two dump trucks on the property. Mr. Hernandez drives a dump truck for a living. He has been contemplating buying a second dump truck as a back-up for the current truck. Mr. Hernandez states that no more than two dump trucks would ever be parked on the property. Mr. Hernandez states that his property is currently surrounded by commercially zoned property. While the land west of Concord is zoned commercially, the land east of Concord and north of "The Concord Curve" has historically been residentially zoned. In the past, as well as more recently, there have been some rezonings to commercial. On the east side of Concord, the nearest commercially zoned property to Mr. Hernandez's is approximately 800' south. Those rezonings that have occurred have been south of the intersection of Concord and Highway 105. The widening of Concord will stop at Highway 105. While it could be argued that the widening of Concord will be conducive for commercial development, the same cannot be said for that part of Concord north of Highway 105. Between Highway 105 and Eastex Freeway, all the property fronting on the east side of Concord is zoned RS. That portion of Concord has a 60' wide right- of-way and an 18' pavement width. At a Joint Public Hearing held April 19, 2010, the Planning Commission recommended 5:0 to approve a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to GC -MD -2 (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling -2) District and a specific use permit to allow the parking of dump trucks in a GC -MD -2 District at 6820 Concord, subject to the following conditions: Enclose the dump truck parking area with an 8' tall wood screening fence for a distance of 50' along Concord and 50' running north to south so that the trucks cannot be seen from Concord. Limit the number of dump trucks to two. BUDGETARYIMPACT None. The "20% Rule" Section 3040. D. of the Zoning Ordinance states the following: Protest: The City Council shall not amend, supplement, change, modify or repeal any regulation, restriction or boundary or approve a Specific Use Permit where a protest against such change, signed by the owners of twenty (20) percent or more either of the area of the lots included in such proposed change or of the lots or land immediately adjoining the same and extending two hundred (200) feet therefrom, except by the favorable vote of three-fourths (3/4) of all the members of the City Council. This means that in order to approve a zone change or specific use permit when the 20% rule has been invoked at least six Council members must vote in favor of the Ordinance. On File 2022-Z/P, a protest of 34% was received, therefore invoking the Rule on this case. ORDINANCE NO.

On November 16, 2009, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on a request to consider a Jack-in-the-Box restaurant at this same address. In that request, the subject property was to be used for parking and drive-thru facilities for the restaurant. The restaurant itself would be located in that portion of the property zoned GC -MD. At the public hearing, a number of individuals voiced concerns over traffic, noise and loitering. At that meeting, the Planning Commission voted to deny the request. Prior to City Council voting to approve or deny the application, the applicant withdrew the request. The new request proposes that the most easterly 40' be landscaped and screened with an 8' tall wood screening fence along the east property line. The dumpster site would also be located in this area. The remaining 50' of the RCR-H zoning would be used for parking and a drive-thru.

RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends the authorization of a contract with Emergicon LLC, of Dallas, for debt collection services for designated EMS accounts. BACKGROUND The Town of Flower Mound has awarded a contract to Emergicon LLC, in compliance with bidding requirements of the State of Texas to provide EMS debt collection services. Terms and conditions of the contract extend prices and volume discounts to other governmental entities as permitted under Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code. Participation in the contract requires a joint purchasing interlocal cooperative agreement between the governmental entities. Currently, the Cash Management Division of the Finance Department handles the billing and debt collection services related to EMS accounts. After the City has exhausted all collection efforts, accounts are sent to the contracted collection agency, currently Municipal Services Bureau of Austin, as a last attempt to collect unpaid balances owed by individual customers. These accounts are usually turned over to the collection agency after they are at least 90 days delinquent. All amounts collected by the collection agency are subject to a 19.5% collection fee. Emergicon LLC, provides medical control services, billing and collection services, continuing education programs, continuous quality improvement services and other clinical support services. Emergicon LLC, will not duplicate any services performed by City Staff or the current collection agency. Emergicon LLC, specializes in finding previously unidentified sources of payment and will provide additional review and clarification for accounts billed to commercial insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid. The City will also utilize Emergicon's continued education programs and continuous quality improvement and clinic support services. Emergicon LLC, charges 18% of the total amount collected on the account if the account is older than 180 days and 6% if the account is less than 180 days old. Emergicon LLC April 27, 2010 Page 2 The service agreement is attached for your review. BUDGETARY IMPACT In FY 2009, the City billed $5.1M in charges related to EMS and collected $2.7M or 53%. After being ninety (90) days past due, a total of $1.6M in billings was sent to the collection agency, with $32,000 being collected. After entering into the contract with Emergicon LLC, it is anticipated that we will collect $200,000 to $250,000 during the first year of the contract, resulting in fewer accounts being turned over to the collection agency. RESOLUTION NO. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the City Manager be and he is hereby authorized to execute a contract, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A," with Emergicon LLC, of Dallas, for EMS debt collection services. 2010.
