Consider authorizing the City of Beaumont to intervene before the Public Utility Commission

Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lane Nichols, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: February 26, 2002
AGENDA MEMO DATE: February 18, 2002
REQUESTED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City of Beaumont to intervene
before the Public Utility Commission in various fuel cases to be filed in the future.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Attorney recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City of
Beaumont to intervene before the Public Utility Commission in various fuel cases which will be filed
by Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., in the future.
BACKGROUND
It is anticipated that Entergy-Gulf States will be filing various fuel related cases in the next twelve
(12)months. When these cases are filed,they are often"fast tracked," providing a very short period
of time within which to intervene, do discovery and make a presentation. In June of 2001 Council
authorized the City to intervene in such cases through the year of 2001. Intervention in such cases
had a significant impact on the final determination by the Public Utility Commission in arriving at just
and proper fuel factor and fuel surcharges for customers of Entergy-Gulf States, Inc. For example,
Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., had included recovery of some extraordinarily high cost purchase power
in their fuel reconciliation case which included the July 23, 1999, black-out period. The City was
successful in having those expenses excluded because the purchases were made from an affiliate of
the company. The City's participation is important to assure that Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., is only
allowed to collect actual allowable fuel costs and use such costs in setting fuel factors.
BUDGETARYIMPACT
There is no direct cost to the City related to these cases because the company is required by law to
reimburse the City for its costs of intervention. However, the City's budget may be significantly
affected if the cost of electric energy is higher than it should be.
PREVIOUS ACTION
The City Council passed a resolution in June of 2001 allowing such interventions for the period of
time through December of 2001.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDED BY
City Attorney.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Approve/Deny a resolution approving the intervention in various fuel cases filed and to be filed by
Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., with the Public Utility Commission of Texas.

Consider a request for a modification to the previously approved partial tax exemption for

Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
MEETING DATE: February 26, 2002
AGENDA MEMO DATE: February 12, 2002
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a request for a modification to the previously approved
partial tax exemption for 232-275 Crockett and 373-375 Pearl to allow the tax exemption at 100%
of the pre-renovation value for a period of ten(10)years.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the modification to the tax
exemption for 232-275 Crockett and 373-375 Pearl.
BACKGROUND
The Crockett Street Development, Ltd, is renovating five buildings for use as an "entertainment
center"consisting ofvarious restaurants and entertainment venues. The buildings are being renovated
in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Over $3 million is
being spent to renovate the buildings.
BUDGETARYIMPACT
Approval would allow a historical tax exemption for a term of ten (10) years and would hold the
existing taxable value of the structures at their pre-renovation value ($184,760).
PREVIOUS ACTION
At a Public Hearing of the Historic Landmark Commission on December 13, 1999,the Commission
approved a partial historical tax exemption for 232-275 Crockett Street and 373-375 Pearl Street.
The original ordinance assessed the value for ad valorem taxation at$1,800,000. If the property was
assessed for less than$1,800,000 after renovation, the applicant was to guarantee yearly payments
of$50,000. A re-evaluation of the City Ordinance determined that once the restored buildings are
certified by the Historic Landmark Commission they shall have the assessed value for ad valorem
taxation equal to the assessed value prior to preservation for a period of ten years. At a Public
Hearing of the Historic Landmark Commission on February 11, 2002, the Commission voted 7:0:1
to approve a modification to the previous tax exemption and will apply to the properties being
renovated in Block 16.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDED BY
City Manager, Executive Assistant to City Manager/Economic Development Director and the
Planning Manager.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Approve/Deny a request for a modification to the previously approved partial tax exemption for 232-
275 Crockett and 373-375 Pearl to allow the tax exemption at 100%ofthe pre-renovation value for
a period of ten years.

of Beaumont Industrial District.
WHEREAS, Company owns land and/or improvements within the City of Beaumont
Industrial District which are a part of the manufacturing, industrial, and refining facilities
of said Company.
WHEREAS, the Company recognizes the benefits of this Agreement and an
obligation to contribute to the revenue needs of said City in an amount commensurate with

GAMAGREEMEMTRINITY-O"l.WPD 1 /9
In view of the above and foregoing reasons, and in consideration of the mutual
agreements herein contained, Company and City hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
COMPANY'S OBLIGATION
A. Annual Payment. Commencing with the calendar year 2002 and each calendar
year thereafter for the duration of this Agreement, the Company will pay the City a certain
sum which will be computed on the assessed value of the Company's facilities and .
property, real, personal, and mixed located on Company's land covered by this Agreement
(herein referred to as the "Properties").
B. By the term "Assessed Value" is meant the 100% valuation of the Trinity
Industries Properties, as determined by the Jefferson County Appraisal District for ad
valorem tax purposes.
C. The term "Assumed City Taxes Due" shall be calculated by the following
formula:
Assessed Value divided by 100 x the current ad valorem tax rate adopted by
City Council of City = Assumed City Taxes due.
D. Payment Procedures
(1) The payment for 2002 shall be in the amount of$92,197 and shall be due
and payable on or before March 15, 2002. The 2002 payment is calculated as follows:
G:\CG\AGREEMEN\TRINITY-08.01.WPD 2/9
Assumed City Taxes Due:
$18,148,940 / 100 X 0.635 = $115,246
Year 1 80% of Assumed City Taxes Due = $92,197
Each October thereafter, the Finance Officer of the City shall obtain the current
Assessed Values set by the Jefferson County Appraisal District for the Company's
Properties having taxable situs within the areas described in this Agreement. For example,
in October, 2002, the 2002 Assessed Values shall be used in calculating the payment due
February 1, 2003.
If the Assessed Values of the Properties for a tax year are in question and/or under
litigation with the Jefferson County Appraisal District, payment shall be computed on the
most recent certified Assessed Values of the Properties by the Jefferson County Appraisal
District. The Company shall notify the City following resolution of the Assessed Value
question and an adjustment for the payment,without interest,will be made within thirty(30)
days following such resolution.
(2) After the Assessed Value of the Company's Properties have been
determined, the annual payment due shall be calculated in accordance with the following
schedule:
The 2002 annual payment shall be eighty percent (80%) of Assumed City
Taxes Due. The 2003 and 2004 annual payments shall be 80% of Assumed City Taxes
Due.
G:\CG\AGREEMEN\TRINITY-08-01.WPD 3/9
The 2005 through 2008 annual payments shall be seventy-five percent (75%) of
Assumed City Taxes Due.
(3) City hereby agrees to bill Company for annual payments due hereunder on
or before January 1 each year. Company shall pay such amount to City on or before
February 1 each year. Upon receiving the annual payment due, the Finance Officer of the
City shall issue an official receipt of said City acknowledging full, timely,final and complete
payment due by said Company to City for the Properties involved in this Agreement for the
year for which such payment is made. If payment is not made on or before any due date,
the same penalties, interest, attorneys' fees and costs of collection shall be recoverable
by the City as would be collectible in the case of delinquent ad valorem taxes. Further, if
payment is not timely made, all payments which otherwise would have been paid to the
City had Company been in the city limits of City will be recaptured and paid to the City
within sixty (60) days of any such event.

ARTICLE III.
SALE BY COMPANY
Company shall notify City of any sale of any or all of Company's Property, including
facilities, to any person or entity, if the value of such property substantially affects the
current assessed value of the property as set forth by the Jefferson County Appraisal
District. As to payments due under this Agreement no such sale shall reduce the amount
due the City under this Agreement until the purchaser of such Property has entered into
an Agreement in lieu of taxes with the City that provides for a continuation of payments to
the City as if no such sale had been made. It is the intent of the parties that no sale of any
of Company's Properties will affect the amount to be paid to the City under this Agreement.

MEETING DATE: February 26, 2002
AGENDA MEMO DATE: February 15, 2002
REQUESTED ACTION: Consider an Amendment to Municipal Ordinance 99-45,
Section 21-75 changing Grade I and Grade III positions.
RECOMMENDATION
Council consideration of an amendment to Municipal Ordinance 99-45, Section 21-75 changing
Grade I Positions from 194 to 195 and Grade III positions from 12 to 1 l.
BACKGROUND
As of January 31,2002,Grade III Lieutenant J.R. Smith retired.In keeping with the reorganization
within the Police Department that began with the October 1997 collective bargaining agreement, a
reduction of the Grade III position is needed. By reducing this position and increasing the Grade I
position,this will accurately reflect the current organization ofthe Police Department as well as allow

Dear Mr. Bonczek,
As of January 31, 2002, Grade III Lieutenant J. R. Smith retired. I am therefore requesting that
the City Ordinance Section 21-75 be amended reducing the number of positions in the Grade III
category by one from 12 to 11. I then wish to take those positions and increase the Grade I
authorized personnel by one position from 194 to 195. This request is in keeping with the
reorganization within the Police Department that began with the October 1997 collective
bargaining agreement and continues in the current collective bargaining agreement.
Furthermore, it allows for the utilization of the police specialist positions in the Criminal
Investigations Division.
Below is a summary of the changes in proposed personnel allotments:
Current: Proposed:
Grade I 194 195
Grade II 53 53
Grade I11 12 11
Grade IV 3 3
Deputy Chief 2 2

I will be glad to provide any additional information necessary.
Sincerely,
