the reorganization within the Police Department that began with the October 1997 collective
bargaining agreement and continues with the October 1997 collective bargaining
agreement. Furthermore, they will accurately reflect the current organization of the Police
Department as well as allow for the utilization of the police specialist positions.

FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lane Nichols, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: January 23, 2001
AGENDA MEMO DATE: January 16, 2001
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider an ordinance amending the ordinance which
authorized the issuance of City of Beaumont, Texas, Waterworks and Sewer System Revenue
Bonds, Series 2000.
RECOMINJENDATION
The administration recommends approval of the ordinance amending the ordinance authorizing
the issuance of Waterworks and Sewer System Revenue Bonds, Series 2000, to correct a
discrepancy between the bond ordinance and the Official Statement regarding the first interest
payment date.
BACKGROUND
This ordinance change is recommended by Orgain, Bell and Tucker, our bond counsel, to correct
the discrepancy between the bond ordinance and the Official Statement. Specifically, the bond
ordinance stated that interest was to accrue from the date of delivery of the bonds which was the
closing date, whereas the Official Statement states that interest will accrue from the date the bonds
were dated, which is August 1, 2000. It is essential that the official statement be accurate.
Therefore, it is necessary to amend the bond ordinance to comply with the language in the official
statement.
BUDGETARYIMPACT
None.
PREVIOUS ACTION
On August 10, 2000, the City of Beaumont passed the ordinance at issue which authorized the
issuance of Waterworks and Sewer System Revenue Bonds, Series 2000.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
No subsequent action is necessary.
RECOMMENDED BY
City Attorney, City Manager, and Finance Officer.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Approve/Deny an ordinance amending the ordinance which authorized the issuance of the City
of Beaumont, Texas, Waterworks and Sewer System Revenue Bonds, Series 2000.

Re: $25,000,000 City of Beaumont,Texas,Waterworks and Sewer System Revenue
Bonds, Series 2000
Dear Lane, Beverly and Kandy:
As you will recall, last year the City issued the above referenced Bonds. The first interest payment on
these Bonds will be due on March 1, 2001.
Deri Ward of Wells Fargo discovered that there was a discrepancy in the Bond Ordinance and the
Official Statement regarding the first interest payment. Specifically, the Bond Ordinance states that interest on
the Bonds will accrue from the date of delivery, which is the closing date, whereas the Official Statement states
that interest will accrue from the dated date of the Bonds, which is August 1, 2000. For purposes of closing,
the Purchaser paid the City the accrued interest on the Bonds from August 1,2000 to the date of closing.
Thus, to correct this discrepancy, we need to have the City amend the Bond Ordinance to provide that
interest will accrue on the Bonds from the dated date of August 1, 2000. Enclosed is an Amendment to the
Bond Ordinance that I have prepared for this purpose.
F:\FOX DOCUMENTS\BOND\BEAUMONT W&S BONDS,SERIES 2000\AMENDMENT TO BOND ORDINANCE\LETTER TO
CITY I-1l-0LDOC
I have already spoken to Frank Ildebrando about this and he agrees that it is appropriate for the City to
amend the Bond Ordinance. I still need to discuss and resolve with Frank who should receive notice of the
amendment once it has been approved by the City and it is likely that we will send copies of the amendment to
the Depository Trust Company and the bond insurer.
This amendment only affects the first interest payment that is due on March 1, 2001. Thereafter, for all
future interest payments, interest accrues from the date of the last interest payment.
I believe that this change to the Bond Ordinance is relatively minor and needs to be made simply to
correct the discrepancy in the Bond Order so that the Paying Agent will be authorized to pay to the Bond
holders the amount of interest that should be paid to them on March 1, 2001, based on the fact that the City
received the accrued interest at closing using the August 1,2000 date.
There will be no legal fees or expenses charged to the City for approving and passing the enclosed
Amendment.
Accordingly, once you have had an opportunity to review this matter, please call me to discuss any
questions you have and to discuss making arrangements to place this matter on the City Council's agenda for
approval.
I very much appreciate your help and assistance.
Yours truly,
Orgain Bell&Tucker, L.L.P.
