Debbie Borel, and Convention Services Manager Claudie Hawkins,for a great job in organizing the
celebration. Mr. Bonczek reported finalizing a request for proposals fora five year contract with a five
year renewal extension for the Tyrrell Park horse stables and facilities.
City Manager Bonczek reported working with the Small Business Revolving Loan Program to find ways
to improve the administration of the loans,taking applications,and processing with the Lamar Small
Business Development Center. He said the lawfirm of Crutchfield, Decordova and Chauveaux would
perform the loan closing for a fee paid by the applicant,and stated the loans could be sold at a discount

WORK SESSION
Presentation from the Metropolitan YMCA
City Manager Bonczek introduced YMCA Consultant Mr. Brian Cormier,who gave a summary of the
YMCA proposal as shown in Exhibit"A." Mr. Cormier spoke of recommendations and findings from
recent visits of the local YMCA's, stated the YMCA was in a critical position, in danger of having its
charter removed,and filing bankruptcy. He suggested with a public/private partnership there would be
an opportunity for rebirth of the YMCA, expressed there is an opportunity to form this partnership by
taking the grants now in place, beginning construction,and building anew facility and additions at the
current L. L. Melton Family Center.
Mr. Cormier spoke of the proposed partnership having seasoned YMCA professionals in place,
development programs,and services for the youth and families. He requested Council consideration
in partnering with the YMCA by assuming responsibility of maintenance and upkeep of the renewed
facility atthe L. L.Melton location,and suggested the City purchase the property for$250,000 payable
in installments of$50,000 for five years, put the property on the market,or develop the property. Mr.
Cormier stated this would put the YMCA in a sound financial position, allowing the YMCA to move
forward with the Melton project immediately, producing bottom line results with the City receiving
something for their investment, while investing in the youth of the community.
Minutes -June 25,2002 Page 9
Mr. Cormier discussed the current budgets for the entire operation and for each facility separately,
including programs and memberships,and a breakdown of services to various groups within the City
as shown as Exhibit"B." He reported operational costs at the L. L.Melton YMCA is$30,000 per year.
Councilmember Goodson expressed appreciation to Mr. Cormier for his frank discussions,and was
accurate in believing the proposal was essentially to reform the YMCA's in Southeast Texas under
reduced management structure where all the facilities would have some common management at the
regional level and minimize cost by consolidating administration. He mentioned concerns with the
Downtown YMCA and the City being instrumental in pursuing funding. Before proceeding any further,
Councilmember Goodson requested financial information, property appraisals, and Parks and
Recreation Superintendent Lou Cappi, a former YMCA employee, evaluate the facilities.
Councilmember Samuel established any prospective maintenance costs would be derived from the
general fund and discussed an proposed arrangement with Jefferson County to provide fire services
in exchange for the property.
Councilmember Patterson expressed disappointment in the way the YMCA approached this matter,
and stated advantages and disadvantages in the overall program. She expressed dismay in the
YMCA of U.S.A.,the Metropolitan Board of Directors,"the transition team"and how they approached
the YMCA branch boards.
Councilmember Patterson stated in order to improve the facility and move forward with projects, be
productive,successful,and keep the Melton and West End YMCA's open, Network Consultant Emily
McGay visited the facility and forwarded a findings memorandum. Councilmember Patterson
discussed the following conditions to be met to maintain a charter: 1). The YMCA must have their
books audited for 2001-2002 (Councilmember Patterson reported not being audited in 1999); 2).
Dismantle the branch boards, rebuilding a effective metro board to oversee all operations including
Downtown and Melton YMCA; 3). Hire a CEO, either a YMCA senior director or skilled community
leader,who would commit to achieving their Senior Director certification within three years. The CEO
would be required to fulfill the senior director requirements,oversee the work of the branch program
managers,and complete necessary national and United Way reports; 4). Pay dues to YMCA of U.S.A.,
the balance remaining on 2001 by April 1, 2002, resume payments on past due amount of$23,589
beginning in April; and 5). Meet the requirements of United Way;
Councilmember Patterson confirmed these conditions will be formalized in the Spring by the
Committee on Memberships Standards(CMS)as part of a recommended probationary status forthe
Beaumont YMCA,and noted if the YMCA is unable or unwilling to abide by these conditions bythe Fall,
the CMS could result in the revocation of the charter. Councilmember Patterson stated the only board
active in volunteering, raising contributions (over$100,000 in the past four years), meeting YMCA
goals, and attacking the deficit, has been dismantled.
Councilmember Patterson referenced number nine of the proposal and read the following: "If the city
rejects this proposal, I recommend that the YMCA of Beaumont give the Melton facility which is on city
property to the city and let them deal with the HUD grant decision and take the heat for not doing
anything in the neighborhood,sell the downtown property to a church or private investor and use the
money to go toward improvement at the West End YMCA and merge it with the YMCA in Port Arthur
leaving only one YMCA program center in Beaumont. I would still run a capital campaign for both
centers as outlined but the Melton Center would no longer exist as a YMCA center, if at all."
Councilmember Patterson stated these types of threats, intimidation,and mandates are disturbing.
She remarked the City has been very generous to the Melton and itemized the many contributions,and
Minutes -June 25,2002 Page 10
reported$1,796,500 is available to start construction immediately. Councilmember Patterson verified
rehabilitation plans are in place with the exception of authorization from the YMCA.
Mr.Cormier commented the presented information was a basic financial position,not a certified audit,
and recommended moving forward with an independent audit before starting the capital campaign.
He did not believe in moving forward with new facility construction if a facility maintenance program was
not in place to insure quality staff and program services, and the proposal was to development
partnerships. If the City is to assist with maintenance,Mr.Cormier commented,there should be a joint
partnership working agreement to meet and discuss needs of maintenance and operations with
designated representatives.He emphasized maintaining a partnership with the United Way. He stated
the YMCA could not afford to operate the facility without changing significantly in terms of its structure.
(Councilmember Samuel and Mayor Pro Tern Smith left Council Chambers at 3:25 p.m.)
Councilmember Patterson extended Mr.Cormieran invitation to a meeting Thursday nightto present
the proposed public/private partnership to the community, answer questions, and have a clearer
understanding. Mr. Cormieragreed to attend the meeting. Both Councilmember Patterson and Mr.
Cormier concurred the Melton YMCA facility should be built immediately.
(Councilmember Samuel and Mayor Pro Tern Smith returned to Council Chambers at 3:37 p.m.)
FY 2003 Budget
Council member Goodson requested updates ofthe three enterprise funds,a ceiling on the amount of
money that can be transferred,and budget projection percentages and differentials. He commented
on family insurance contributions and questioned impacting contribution levels. Councilmember
Goodson mentioned the possibility of being unable to generate new revenues to balance the budget,
and noted a $75 Million budget with a $2.2 Million plus deficit would take a three percent decrease
across the board.
Mayor Lord thanked the audience fortheir patience and interest in listening to questions and answers
which gives an understanding of the problems presented to Council.

businesses and jobs.

YMCA
We build strong kids,
strong families,strong communities.
Dear Mayor Lord,
I come to you today to propose a partnership between the city of Beaumont and the
YMCA. Due to a number of ill-advised management decisions over a period of time,the
lack of strong leadership and a well-organized visionary plan for the future,the
Beaumont YMCA is in danger of going out of business by year-end 2002.
However,with the help of the city and or county,the foundation for two exceptional
facilities that will offer quality programs and services to thousands of youth and families
for many future generations is a strong possibility. In numerous communities throughout
the country,these public/private partnerships have led to winWm results for all parties
(the community,the organizations,and the participants).
In a true partnership,both partners contribute something7f6r the benefit of the venture =
with the hope that this investment will pay dividends in the future. We are asking the city
and or the county to consider a$250,000.gift over five years or.approximately$961.54
weekly as a lead gift in a capital campaign to develop first class facilities for our family
YMCA program centers. In addition,we are asking the city to support the operating cost
of the Melton YMCA program center beyond it's generated income to support staff and
program cost. It is our opinion that the majority of staff expenses could be covered with
United Way and contributed income,leaving the membership and program fees to be
applied to operating overhead with some annual subsidy. This would be the investment
of the city/county to help provide quality facilities,programs,and services to all parts of
the community for future generations for a relatively minor commitment,in return for
what the YMCA is prepared to give up and invest back into this community.
In return for approval by the city council,the YMCA is prepared to conduct a minimum
of a$3+million capital campaign(including a$1.5 million grant already in place)to
renovate and enhance both its Melton and West End program centers. The YMCA would
negotiate,contract and supervise all the construction to completion and then donate the
Melton program center to the city of Beaumont in exchange for it's commitment to assist
with annual operations. The YMCA would staff and operate the facility with
involvement and approval of this centers budget jointly by the City Manager and the
YMCA. The YMCA would further donate to the city of Beaumont the downtown
YMCA property and the"Y House"residence for seniors for future lease,sale,
development or joint ventures as it would deem in the communities best interest as part of
its ongoing downtown development program.
EXHIBIT "A"
In our opinion,all entities would benefit from such a partnership. The city would be
given a quality family program center,debt free,on land that it already owns and in a
neighborhood that is desperately in need.of such services. The city would be given
valuable downtown property for future opportunities and a fully renovated senior citizen
housing facility that has already been totally renovated and is self-supporting.
The YMCA would be re-organized under new leadership(a new board,a well-trained
and dedicated staff and a new structure)to include facility program centers in both
Beaumont and Port Arthur and other communities in the future. The YMCA would
improve their facilities at all program centers and offer key core programs in specific
areas(i.e.childcare,aquatics,wellness,tennis,seniors,and selected sports at some
centers). The YMCA would be a community asset for this area and regain its credibility,
fiscal strength and address it's Christian mission in service to the community and its
dedicated staff and employees.
The community would benefit with top quality facilities,programs and services for its
neighborhoods,good earner and employment options for hundreds of full and part time
staff,strong quality volunteer leadership development,the potential for several
collaborations with other groups and agencies and a good point to make with present and
future business leaders for economic development.
It is our sincere hope that the city of Beaumont will give this proposal its prayerful
consideration and approval. This opportunity is unique and will not be available again in
its present state. his not often that we get the chance to achieve inch it positive result
with such a modest investment.
Sincerely,
Brian Cormier
YMCA of the USA Consultant
Findings and Recommendations
My recommendation to the Board of the Beaumont, Texas YMCA and to the Board of
the Port Arthur, Texas YMCA is contained in the proposal to the Mayor of the City of
Beaumont (see attached). My findings and recommendations in the first week of
analysis of the situation regarding YMCA work in this area of Southeast Texas are as
follows:
1. Negotiate a partnership agreement with the city of Beaumont to deed them the
newly renovated Melton YMCA program center facility as of January 1, 2003 as
outlined in the proposal. Deed the downtown YMCA property along with "Y
House"to the city of Beaumont for future development. In return, receive a lead
gift for facility development over 5 years and facility operating commitment for
the Melton program center.
2. Recommend to each existing Board the approval of the proposal and a capital
campaign effort for the total Association. Develop a projected budget for capital
improvements at each of the program centers.
Possible in Place
$1.5 grant $1.75m Melton- a new gymnasium,renovated existing facility,
pool bubble and equipment
5.25 city $225m West End—a new facility with enclosed pool,a fitness
center,childcare center,upgraded pool
515 operations I 1.00m Port Arthur—a new gym floor,a new pool pak
$2 million $5 million dehumidification system,selected facility
up-grades.
Must raise additional$3 million to achieve goal.
3. Approve the restructuring of the YMCA in all three communities to form"The
YMCA of the Golden Triangle'with 3 program centers i.e.,the Melton Family
YMCA program center,the West End Family YMCA program center and the Port
Arthur Family YMCA program center.
This would call for the re-organization of the Board of Directors and changes to the by-
laws along with a new charter from the YMCA of the USA. Seek total forgiveness of
previous debt from the YMCA of the USA and any other major stockholders that may be
necessary.
4. Under this new YMCA and Board,commission standing committees with
representation from all areas and direct the CEO and top leadership team to
propose a new staff chart of organization with appropriate salary/wage guidelines
and benefits to attract,train and retain quality staff and employees that will
provide quality programs and services for the community in a manner that best
serves its needs and addresses the mission of the Association.
S. Develop a strategic corporate plan that serves as a guide for the association's
leadership,a tool for the establishment of work performance standards and
reviews and a blue print for success of the association.
6. 'Ile financial position is shaky at best with no formal audit for over 3 years
- The staff is comprised of a few part time and full time high school and
college students,approximately 2 long-term office support staff,3 trained
program support stall;and no seasoned YMCA professionals.
- Strong leadership is absent and co-coordinated direction,policies and
procedures are not in place.
- Membership is very low at Melton and only fair at West End.
Some good programs are in place(aquatics,tennis,aerobics,selected
sports)but YMCA Mission happens only by accident and membership and
program fees are all over the ballpark.
- The facilities are a mixed bag with Melton having a building in poor
condition and a pool and playing fields in fair condition.
- _ West End has a building in poor condition,pools in fair condition_and
tennis courts and playing fields in relatively good condition.
Downtown has a residence in good condition but provides no income,
racquetball courts in fair condition but closed and the remainder of the
property in poor condition and not in use.
Vehicles are in fair condition and will be in need of replacement soon.
Parking lots are in need of re-surfacing and striping.
• Most equipment is in poor condition and in need of replacement.
7. With the assistance of the Houston YMCA,a basic financial position can be
established and official audits should be required as of 2003 under the new
association.
8. The potential for this YMCA to double in size and be a solid dues paying
association under respectable leadership if this proposal is accepted is very strong.
9. If the city rejects this proposal,I recommend that the YMCA of Beaumont give
the Melton facility which is on city property to the city and let them deal with the
HUD grant decision and take the heat for not doing anything in the neighborhood,
sell the downtown property to a church or private investor and use the money to
go toward improvement at West End and merge it with the YMCA in Port Arthur
leaving only one YMCA program center in Beaumont. I would still run a capital
campaign for both centers as outlined but the Melton Center would no longer
exist as a YMCA center, if at all.
10. If one of these two courses of action are not taken soon,the facility development
at Melton will eventually drain the assets of West End into bankruptcy and both
centers will close,the West End property will need to be sold to pay off the debt
and YMCA facilities will no longer exist in Beaumont. The United Way has
already given notice that this will be the last year of funding if significant positive
direction is not made by year-end. However,if we can pull off the partnership
agreement,it is my opinion that the United Way would even consider an increase
for future funding based on projected community impact of new facilities and
quality staff and program services.
I regret not being able to be present to move this plan forward,if approved, in a more
expeditious manner but will give it my undivided attention upon my return in June.
Respectfully,
Brian Cormier
