GENERAL BUSINESS
Consider an Ordinance amending the FY 2017 Budget.
In accordance with Article VI of the City Charter, the City Manager shall strictly enforce the
provisions of the budget as specified in the ordinance adopting the budget. He shall not
authorize or approve any expenditure unless an appropriation has been made in the budget
ordinance adopting the budget, and there is an available unencumbered balance of the
appropriation sufficient to pay the liability to be incurred. Approving the proposed
amendments will ensure that expenditures are within the approved budget.
The details of the proposed amendments are as follows:
Internal Service Funds are funded through transfers from other funds and/or user fees from
the departments that they support. The General Liability Fund does not charge user fees but
relies solely on transfers to fund its operations. A transfer of $1,000,000 is being proposed
this fiscal year to strengthen the fund balance for FY 2018. The Capital Reserve Fund
charges user fees to the departments that purchase fleet vehicles but relies on transfers
from other funds to purchase equipment and building improvements through this fund. A
transfer of $1,000,000 is being proposed this fiscal year to strengthen the fund balance for
FY 2018. Both transfers of $1,000,000 each will come from the Hurricane Ike Recovery Fund
which has sufficient funds that were already appropriated in the original budget.

The Henry Homberg Golf Course Fund is expected to fall short of budgeted revenues by
over $87,000 in FY 2017 due to a wet spring and summer season, resulting in less play than
anticipated. In addition, the budget for FY 2018 anticipates expenditures in excess of
revenues. For these two reasons, a transfer of $400,000 is being proposed this fiscal year to
strengthen the fund balance for FY 2017 and 2018. This transfer will come from the
Hurricane Ike Recovery Fund as well.

The General Fund is projected to exceed budgeted expenditures by over $165,000. The
main driver of this overage is a higher retirement ratio in the Fire Department than
anticipated as compared to historical experience within that department. A budget
amendment in the amount of $300,000 is being proposed to cover the overage and to
appropriate an extra contingency for any other unforeseen expenditures that may occur.

budget because at that time it was thought that these improvements would be completed

Ordinance 17-051
2. Consider amending Ordinance No. 17-042, abandoning a 6' wide utility easement along
Sulphur Plant Road, to include the conveyance of all improvements within the abandoned
easement.
Natgasoline, LLC, has requested the abandonment of the 6' wide utility easement located
along Sulphur Plant Road, just east of the Beaumont City Limit line. The easement was for a
water line. Due to the privatization of Sulphur Plant Road by Natgasoline and Martin Gas
Minutes —August 8, 2017
security, this portion of the easement is no longer needed. Abandonment of the easement
would allow much needed access by Martin Gas for maintenance purposes. A new water
meter, outside the privatized area, has been provided in the remaining portion of the
easement.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on June 19, 2017, the Planning Commission recommended
7:0 to approve a request to abandon a 6' wide utility easement along Sulphur Plant Road.
City Council approved this request at their July 11, 2017 meeting via Ordinance No. 17-042.
This amendment would clearly define that any and all improvements be conveyed along with
the abandonment of the easement.
Approval of the ordinance.
Councilmember Pate moved to ADOPT AN ORDINANCE THAT NATGASOLINE, LLC HAS REQUESTED
THAT ALL IMPROVEMENTS BE CONVEYED ALONG WITH ABANDONMENT OF THE 6' WIDE UTILITY
EASEMENT, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 17-042, AND THAT
ORDINANCE 17-042 BE AND IS HEREBY AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE CONVEYANCE OF ALL WATERLINE
IMPROVEMENTS AND APPURTENANCES WITH THE ABANDONED 6' WIDE UTILITY EASEMENT ALONG
SULPHUR PLANT JUST EAST OF THE BEAUMONT CITY LIMIT LINE. Councilmember Jordan seconded
the motion.

Ordinance 17-052
3. Consider a resolution approving Change Order No. 31 for the Concord Road Project.
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is managing the Concord Road Project. On
July 26, 2012, TxDOT entered into an agreement with Tradeco Infrastructura, Inc., in the
amount of $11,284,746.71 for the Concord Road Project.
On June 10, 2015, Tradeco delivered a voluntary letter of default to TxDOT abandoning and
terminating the contract. The Surety Bond held by American Home Assurance Company, is
acting in its capacity as the Surety for Tradeco and has chosen Texas Sterling Construction
Co., as the Completion Contractor. On September 1, 2015, Texas Sterling Construction Co.,
was given the Notice to Proceed with a Substantial Completion Date set at November 23,
2016.
Previous Change Order Nos. 1-30, resulted in a decrease of ($66,450.31) to the original
awarded amount making the new contract amount $11,218,296.40.
Proposed Change Order No. 31, in the amount of ($205,794.54), which also includes a
($27,956.19) Engineering and Contingency credit, is required to modify and adjust quantity
underruns, which resulted in a cost savings opportunity during the course of construction. If
approved, the new contract amount will be $11,012,501.86.
Minutes —August 8, 2017
Funds will come out of the Capital Program.
Approval of resolution.
Mayor Pro Tem Wright moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND HE IS

Mayor Ames read the announcement regarding Executive Session being held at the
conclusion of the General Business portion of the meeting.
WORK SESSIONS
Review and discuss the operations of the Code Enforcement Division
Chris Boone, Community Development Director reviewed and discussed the
operations of the Code Enforcement Division. Mr. Boone discussed the Program
Goals and Objectives, the enforcement activities, the cost of the program for FY 2016
and the Ward boundaries inspector areas. There was discussion in regards to the
cases opened by type, for the period of January 1, 2016 thru July 29, 2016, there's a
total of 5,383 cases that are opened. Mr. Boone discussed the coded violations in
each Ward relating to weeds, litter, junk motor vehicles and general nuisances, in the
reviews Wards III and IV held the most violations since they are deemed the older
parts of Beaumont. There's a total of 5,790 code violations throughout the City.
Unsafe structures were discussed per ward with Ward I at 12%, Ward II at 8%, Ward
I I I at 60% and Ward IV at 20%. Vacant lots for FY 2017 was discussed with Ward I at
14%, Ward II at 8%, Ward III at 49% and Ward IV 29%. The program challenges that
are being faced is that more people are living in apartments, in 2010, 36.3% of rental
units were single family homes; and 25% were in large apartment complexes. In
2015, 33.1% of rental units were single family homes; and 29% were in large
apartment complexes. This indicates as housing stock ages, residents are moving
out or are moving into apartment complexes. The other challenge is that the number
of vacant properties are at 20% and growing, the last Sheriff's sale which took place
in June had 31 lots in Beaumont and only 1 lot was removed from the list; whereas
approximately 21 was added to the City lots and the City is having to now mow those
lots that were added. Another challenge is absentee property owners and a lack of
clear ownership, that number is increasing as well. There is also a failure to appear in
court which is at a 72%, lack of redevelopment of vacant properties.
Minutes — August 8, 2017
Mr. Boone, also discussed the Code Enforcement improvements in recent years,
such as the number of inspectors increased following hurricanes, case research
changed from paper to computer-based, a computer-based case management
system was implemented, placing mobile terminals in inspector's cars, linking them to
the new 311 system, enhanced enforcement by filing charges on repeat offenders if
they can be found, and better interaction with residents, enhance mowing
specifications for better cuts, Council declarations for serious violations. There was
also discussion about possible future improvements, such as adding more staff and
increase mowing frequency and budget, increase fines and mowing fees, do a better
job of pursuing those that refuse to appear in Municipal Court, develop a "Side Lot"
Program, work with the Tax Assessor to encourage the sale of targeted properties,
target "Grow -Back" or Urban Tree Farms which is something that is being done in St.
Louis, MO.
Review and discuss possible advertising related to the Municipal Transit System
Chris Boone, Community Development Director reviewed and discussed advertising
relating to the Municipal Transit. Mr. Boone stated that the City would like to do more
advertising than what it is currently doing. The advertisement would include bus
wrapping on the outside of the bus as well as on the inside. The City would also be
doing bench advertisements at the individual bus stops. It was stated that this kind of
advertisement would improve the quality of life of the citizens and supplement
municipal operation cost. There is a company in the City of Beaumont called
Hightech Signs that is prepared to fund the installation of bus/benches and shelters
around the City, starting in key locations and expanding over time. Hightech Signs
proposes its appointment as the exclusive advertiser for the Beaumont Regional
Transportation Authority. Higtech Signs would like to be the company that the City
trust to plan and execute the advertising program for all bus benches and bus
advertising.
Review and discuss various library fees and charges
Bart Bartkowiak, Information Technology Director, reviewed and discussed various
library fees and charges. Mr. Bartkowiak stated that this Worksession was basically
to clean up somethings in the current Ordinance that deals with library fees and
charges. There was discussion in regards to the fees for nonresident library cards.
Currently a nonresidential individual card holder would pay $25.00 per year, this
would allow them to check out a maximum of ten (10) items instead of five (5) items
at any one (1) time. Currently a nonresidential family card holder would pay forty
dollars ($40.00) per year and this will entitle them to check out a minimum of fifteen
(15) instead of ten (10) items at any one time. There was also discussion of
increasing the late charge processing fee; the increases would include all books
increasing from 0.10 to 0.15, DVD's would decrease from $2.00 to $1.00, with no
replacement cost. Loan periods were discussed, in the current Ordinance, it states
that the loan periods established herein may not be extended by renewal, the
Administration would like the wording to be changed to, the loan periods may be
renewed by staff as long as no holds are present on the item. It was also requested
that cassettes, compact disc, audio books and framed prints be removed from the
Ordinance as the items have become obsolete.
Minutes — August 8, 2017
COMMENTS
Rental for use of meetings rooms were discussed, the rental rate for the use of a
meeting room rate would increase to twenty-five ($25.00) from the ten dollars
($10.00) an hour with a minimum use of two (2) hours instead of three (3). Council
stated it would like to see the rate set at an hourly rate instead of a minimum of two
(2) hours. It was also stated that if food was to be served, a refundable deposit of
seventy-five dollars ($75.00) instead of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) shall be paid in
advance of the use. Mr. Bartkowiak, also made mention of Fine Forgiveness Week
which will include, allowing patrons to return overdue or lost items with no fines; if an
item is lost the overwhelming majority of what the patron owes the library is the
replacement cost of the item; once an item is listed as lost the patron owes a
processing fee of $2.00 or $5.00 plus the replacement cost of the item; National
Library Week is in April and the Fine Forgiveness Week would run during that week.
The hope is that the City will get back items that would otherwise not be returned and
hopefully gain back patrons as well.
Review and discuss possible bike lanes on Magnolia from Gill Street to Laurel
Street
Dr. Joe Majdalani, Public Works Director reviewed and discussed possible bike
lanes on Magnolia from Gill Street to Laurel Street. There were three proposals
shown to Council regarding E. Lucas to Gill, Gill to Calder and Calder to Laurel.
When showing the map for Magnolia from Gill to Clader there is already four (4)
existing lanes with proposed bike lanes on each side of the street. On Magnolia
from Calder to Laurel there are three (3) existing lanes, it was proposed to make
that 2 lanes with bike lanes on both sides.
