PARKS AND RECREATION
(on the cover) J
The residents of Beaumont welcomed the opening of two new neighborhood parks nestled
among the trees of the north end of the City. The parks have state-of-the-art playground
equipment with picnic areas, sprinkler devices for cooling off, covered shelters and parking.
They have multi-purpose playing fields that can be used for various sports. A special feature
common to both parks is an exercise trail with workout stations along the way.
Halbouty Park
Dedicated in February of 1995, this park covers 6.04 acres. The land was donated by
Michel Halbouty, a world renowned geologist, in memory of his father, Tom C.
Halbouty. Total cost of the project was $234,000 with half of the funding being
provided by a Texas Parks & Wildlife Department grant.
Lefler Park
Dedicated in April of 1995, this park encompasses 42 acres. Ten acres of this land
was donated by M. L. "Buddy" Lefler, a developer who formerly served on the City's
planning commission. This park was named for Lefler's father, M. L. Lefler, Sr., who
served as the City Attorney from 1934-1938. Subsequent donations made by Mr.
Lefler and his wife, Kay, provided for the acquisition of 32 more acres. Total cost of
the project was $384,000 with $190,000 being provided by a Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department grant.
This year also saw the completion of the Sterling R. Pruitt, Jr. Activity Center. This building,
located at Magnolia Park, covers 24,000 square feet and provides a positive recreational
alternative to the City's youth. The center features a gymnasium, weight-training room,
aerobics, crafts and shower facilities. The gym is large enough to accommodate two full-court
basketball games or a variety of games, including volleyball, badminton and table tennis. The
building also houses offices and meeting rooms for the Parks & Recreation Department.
Opened in May, with formal dedication ceremonies in June, the center received 4,000 to 5,000
visitors per week during the summer, with up to 2,300 visitors per week in the fall. The center
was named for Sterling R. Pruitt, Jr., the former Assistant City Manager of Beaumont, who was
a driving force in its creation. He was instrumental in obtaining the funding through a
Community Development Block Grant. The total cost of the project was $2.6 million.

September 12, 1995
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of City Council
and Citizens of the City of Beaumont
We are pleased to present the 1996 Annual Operating Budget for the City of
Beaumont, Texas.
The Budget has been prepared on a modified accrual basis in accordance with
provisions of the City Charter and has been reviewed by City Council at workshops and
at a public hearing held on September 5, 1995. The fiscal year 1996 Budget provides
for planned expenditures, net of contingency appropriations, for all operating funds
totaling $117,959,800. The final document has been modified to include the changes
requested by Council during budget hearings and workshops.
The Capital Improvement Program for fiscal years 1996-2000, adopted as a separate
document, provides for planned expenditures of $21,110,000 for all Category I projects.
Public Works projects are included at $19,500,000 and General Improvements at
$1,610,000.
This budget will either maintain or improve the current level of service in all
departments.
Respectfully submitted,

Priorities and Issues
With several local taxing entities proposing increases in their tax rates, City Council put
forth the challenge to produce a balanced budget focusing on maintaining the current
tax rate while continuing to provide the high level of service our citizens have come to
expect. One obstacle facing the City this year was the potential for significant operating
increases related to new services and the improvement of existing services.
With the opening of Halbouty and Lefler Parks, approximately 50 acres of park facilities
were added in FY 1995. The completion of Collier's Ferry Park, which is expected this
fiscal year, will add another 1 ,200 acres. This, coupled with the additional costs
associated with the opening of the Sterling R. Pruitt, Jr. Activity Center in June 1995,
motivated staff to explore financing alternatives to continue to provide these services
cost effectively. A new program provided by a local correctional institution allows the
City to enter into cooperative agreements for the use of offender labor at no cost. The
responsibility of the City is to provide transportation, a program supervisor, tools and
equipment. The Parks and Recreation Department entered into a pilot program in mid
FY 1995 for the use of offender labor. The jail system provided the manpower to
perform such tasks as clearing underbrush to make new areas of Klein Park more
accessible to the park patrons. This joint effort has been highly successful and has
made it possible to provide these new services without an increase in taxes.
The primary mission of this Council is to provide a streamlined government, increase
economic development opportunities and enhance the quality of life for the citizens of
Beaumont. Their commitment is evidenced by an article in the soon to be released
October issue of Texas Business Magazine. The City of Beaumont is ranked No. 3
among medium-sized cities as best-run in the state. The magazine based its selections
on a city's financial management, bond ratings, delivery of services, diversity of City
Council membership and staff, and stability. One way Council demonstrates their
dedication to Beaumont is by consistently providing programs of physical development
throughout the City.
Community Development Block Grant funds are regularly used to demolish dangerous
structures in residential neighborhoods which often house drug dealers. Demolishing
them not only provides vacant lots for new housing programs, thereby revitalizing
deteriorated neighborhoods, but also helps lessen the crime problem.
In a cooperative effort between the Chamber of Commerce, Jefferson County and the
City of Beaumont, the U. S. Postal Service was encouraged to locate one of about two
dozen computerized remote encoding centers in downtown Beaumont. This new facility
is expected to create 1,000 new jobs. The owners of the former TSO building showed
their commitment to downtown by donating the vacant structure to house the postal
center. The County agreed to perform renovations and supply 325 parking spaces. The
City committed to acquire and demolish the abandoned 12 story LaSalle Hotel and 10
story parking facility adjacent to the TSO site to provide the remaining 200 parking
iii
G r
spaces required. Tax Increment Financing resources will be utilized to provide for the
demolition of these structures which is expected to take place in late 1995. Removal of Y
this blighting influence will further uphold Council's commitment to economic
development and downtown revitalization.
The City's Clean Community program strives to promote and maintain the beautification
effort which began years ago with the efforts of the Clean Community Commission, now
referred to as the Beautify Beaumont Commission. At the forefront is the maintenance
of the arterial thoroughfares that give people their first impression of Beaumont.
Contract labor is used for litter pick up along certain major arterial streets and grounds
maintenance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway. A significant increase in cost will be
realized this year in part because of the recent opening of a major section of MLK
Parkway. This could impact the City's ability to maintain the additional level of service
expected. Because the offenders program has been so successful in the Parks and
Recreation Department, this avenue is being explored for assistance in this area.
Discussion is now underway with the jail system to provide the labor, thereby allowing .
the City to continue to provide this aspect of the effort to beautify Beaumont.
Public Works will also make some changes that should positively affect the
beautification effort. Budgeted in FY 1996 are two street sweepers which will be used
to take over and expand the street sweeping program currently under contract with an
outside agency.
Council's commitment to curbside recycling was put to the test over the last several
months. In July 1994, in an effort to conserve space, the City's landfill was closed to
external users. In the past, the revenue generated by fees collected from commercial
haulers and other cities was sufficient to cover the cost of the recycling program.
By January 1995 discussion of curbside recycling turned to methods of funding the
existing program. Options such as a recycling fee of $1.25 per household or $2.00 per
participant were explored; however, Council was determined to have no new fees.
Management then set its sights on how collection costs could be reduced. The current
private contractor was charging the City about $45,000 per month for once a week
collection and received additional income by selling the products collected. In March,
Council voted to have twice monthly collection and created convenient Saturday
drop-off points throughout the city. This brought the monthly cost down to $25,500 per
month, a savings of $234,000 annually.
For FY 1996 it was decided that our Solid Waste Department would assume the entire
recycling operation. The financial analysis showed that this could be accomplished at
approximately the same cost. Additional revenue would also be realized from the sale
of the items collected. By selling the recyclables ourselves, the City expects to
generate between $100,000 to $150,000 from the sale of the recyclable materials. If the
entire $150,000 is realized, the $300,000 cost of recycling would effectively be cut in
half.
iv
• Probably the most challenging issue Council faced this year was how to fund the
anticipated increase in debt service payments without raising taxes. In 1987, the City
favorably refunded most of its debt. The elected officials at that time opted for a
delayed payment schedule, which beginning in FY 1996, will increase the debt
payments for that one issue by $3.4M, from $4.2M to $7.6M, for the remaining ten
years of the bond issue. Total debt service requirements for FY 1996 are $10.7M. Of
this $10:7M, $400,000 has its own funding source, reducing the amount required to
$10.3M. The tax rate of $0.265 will generate $8.7M for FY 1996. To sufficiently fund
current debt requirements, Council approved the use of $1.6M received from a lawsuit
settlement in lieu of a tax rate increase in FY 96.
Generally, the primary reason for issuing debt is to provide funding for capital
improvements. This year's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes Category I
projects totaling $21,110,000. A Category I project is an approved project for which
funding has been provided or receipt is anticipated for FY 1996.
Public works improvements account for $19.5M of total Category I projects. This year's
CIP proposes no additional street or drainage improvement projects. The currently
approved street and drainage improvement projects are either under contract with work
in progress or the City is committed to provide matching funds for State participation
projects. The major funding source for completion of projects currently approved are the
proceeds from the issuance of $4.5M Certificates of Obligation in 1996 and available
fund balance.
General improvement Category I projects totaling $1.6M are also included in the FY
1996 Capital Improvement Program. Funds expected to be received through grants
total $700,000 and will fund a significant portion of the Collier's Ferry project. The
remaining costs are funded with available resources.
Budget Highlights
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for general governmental operations of the
municipality. Included in these activities are budgets for law enforcement, public safety,
public works, community services and administrative departments. Expenditures in FY
1995 are projected to be approximately $54.2M for these programs, and the budget
proposed for FY 1996 provides for an increase of $2.2M or 4%. Revenues projected for
FY 1996 are sufficient to fund the budget without a change in the current property tax
rate.
v
General Fund Revenues
By Source
38.3% Sales and use tax
20.1% Property taxes
9.7% Other
6.2% Utility fund in lieu
16.0% Industrial payments
9.7% Grass receipts tax
$57,567,600
Revenues are estimated to reach $57.6M for FY 1996, an increase of $1.9M. This
estimate is determined by looking at past trends and performances. The major revenue
sources are discussed as follows:
Sales and use tax represents 38.3% of the total revenue stream of the General
Fund and is very responsive to prevailing economic conditions. Revenues recognized
from sales tax for FY 1996 are expected to total $22M, an increase of $540,000 over
FY 1995.
Property tax revenue at 20.1% of the General Fund revenues is expected to total
$11.6M. There is no proposed increase in the property tax rate dedicated to the
General Fund. The increase of $260,000 is a result of an increase in the taxable
property values certified by the Jefferson County Appraisal District.
Industrial tax payments represent 16% of the total revenue stream of the General
Fund and are collected from companies located outside the City's taxing jurisdiction.
The payments are made contractually based on the assessed value of each company,
and as such, generate revenue much like a property tax. New contracts were
negotiated during FY 1995. Industrial tax payments are expected to increase by
$775,000 to a total of $9.2M in FY 1996. This represents the most significant increase
in revenues for the General Fund.
Gross receipts tax, paid by local private utility companies for use of public
rights-of-way, represents 9.7% of the General Fund revenues. Revenues received
result from contractually determined rates, applied to the companies' annual gross
receipts and are expected to rise to $5.6M, an increase of $227,000.
Vi
General Fund Expenditures
By Function
6.0%Administrative Services
8.7%Central Services
29.0% Police
4.9%Parks& Recreation
4.2%Community Services
2.7% Health Services
4.9%General Government
14.8%Public Mft
2.9% Public Safety 21.9% Fire
$56,393,900
Expenditures (net of transfers) for FY 1996 are expected to increase $2.2M or 4% for
total expenditures of $56.4M. Personnel costs, comprised of both wages and benefits,
total 77.3% of General Fund expenditures and are expected to increase $1.4M. The
proposal is based on full employment in current authorized positions with an annual
performance adjustment of up to 3% for all eligible employees, as well as estimated
contractual salary adjustments for fire and police. Also included are several new
personnel positions to perform new functions or take over previously contracted
activities. In Streets and Drainage two equipment operators were added to perform the
street sweeping function, which replaced the annual contract service for this activity. In
Community Services the addition of three full-time staff will be required for the
proposed Northend Library. The Parks division added two maintenance workers
relative to the increased maintenance of new park facilities. In the Clean Community
division, the addition of two employees related to the potential use of prison labor for
the cleanup of arterial roadways and maintenance of MLK Parkway is included. There
is no cost-of-living adjustment included. Operations are expected to increase $750,000
over those projected for FY 1995. The increase is across departments and is primarily
the result of increased vehicle maintenance costs of $325,000 and computer related
charges of $400,000.
DEBT SERVICE FUND
The Debt Service Fund is a legally restricted fund utilized to account for revenues
recognized to liquidate the debt service requirements for the City's general obligation
debt. This revenue is primarily earned through dedicated property tax revenue.
vii
Revenues are estimated to reach $9.4M for FY 1996. Net of the extraordinary $1.6M
lawsuit settlement expected to be received in FY 1995, revenues remain relatively flat
compared to FY 1995 levels. In lieu of a tax increase the lawsuit settlement will be used
to fund the increased debt service requirements for FY 1996.
Expenditures proposed for FY 1996 total $10.7M and are required to meet the current
debt service obligations.
WATER FUND
The Water Utilities Fund is used to account for one of the City's enterprise activities.
The Water Department is responsible for the production and sale of potable water for
domestic and industrial uses and fire protection; collection and treatment of wastewater
for the protection of public health and the environment; and maintenance and
construction of water and sewer services.
Revenues are expected to total $17.5M for FY 1996, which is an increase of $343,000
over those projected for FY 1995. This increase is in user fees and is the result of
growth in water consumption. There is no proposed rate increase.
Expenditures are projected to total $18.5M, which is $1.9M higher than FY 1995.
Proposed personnel costs comprised of both wages and benefits total $5.8M and are
expected to increase $521,000. The proposal includes performance adjustments of up
to 3% for all eligible employees and four additional positions in Production and
Reclamation. Proposed operating costs total $4.1M and provide for an increase of
$340,000 over FY 1995. Increases are primarily in the area of fleet charges and
chemicals. Debt service requirements are expected to remain constant at $3.8M for FY
1996.
SOLID WASTE FUND
The Solid Waste Fund, an enterprise fund, is used to account for the revenues
generated from managing solid waste for the City. Functions include the collection and
disposal of waste.
Revenues are expected to total $5.7M which is a slight increase of $47,000 over FY
1995. Estimated revenues do not include a rate increase for residential collection.
Recycling revenue, from the sale of recyclables, has been projected to generate
$114,000.
Expenditures proposed for FY 1996 are expected to increase slightly to $5.6M.
Proposed personnel costs, consisting of both wages and benefits, total $2.2M and
provide for an annual performance increase of three percent as is consistent with other
funds. The increase in personnel is related to the addition of seven equipment operator
positions in the recycling division, where this service will now be provided by City
Viii
employees instead of being contracted out as in the past. Operating costs are expected
to decrease $543,000 from FY 1995.This is a result of decreased vehicle maintenance
charges, relative to the purchase of new automated refuse collection trucks, and the
replacement of the recycling contract with City employees. Non-operating costs are
proposed to. increase by $335,000 over FY 1995. This is the result of increased debt
service payments which include the first year's payments on the automated refuse
collection trucks and recycling trucks.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special revenue funds are used to account for revenues allocated for restricted
purposes as specified by law. A brief description of the major special revenue funds
included in the FY 1996 budget are as follows:
Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund is used to account for the "HOT" tax received and used to
promote tourism and the arts. Revenues generated by the authorized tax are expected
to remain constant at $1.2M. Proposed expenditures are expected to increase slightly
to $1.26M. Funding for the Convention and Visitor's Bureau is expected to increase by
2.2% for FY 1996 and remain at approximately 55% of the "HOT" revenue.
Street Maintenance Fund is used to account for funds received from a street user fee
for the repair of streets in critical condition. Revenues are expected to remain constant
in FY 1996 with proposed expenditures for the street maintenance program equivalent
to the anticipated revenues.
Municipal Transit Fund is used to account for the operations of the Beaumont
Municipal Transit System. Revenues are projected to decrease by $677,000 primarily
due to a reduction in intergovernmental revenue. Expenditures are expected to
decrease $840,000 due to the completion of major capital improvements which were
80% grant funded.
Other Special Revenue Funds include Confiscated Goods, Fire Training, Tax
Increment Financing and various other grant and trust funds. Revenues are expected to
total $3.5M from these sources. Proposed expenditures total $4.8M. These
expenditures will fluctuate depending on revenue availability.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services
provided by one department to other departments of the City on a cost reimbursement
basis similar to an enterprise fund where costs are recovered through user charges. A
brief description of each fund included in the budget is as follows:
ix
Capital Reserve Fund is used to account for revenues and costs associated with the
purchase and replacement of the City's fleet vehicles and equipment, including
computers. Revenues are expected to increase to $3.8M. Expenditures related to the
purchase and replacement of vehicles and equipment are budgeted at $3M.
Fleet Management Fund is used to account for the activities associated with
maintaining fleet vehicles owned by the City. Both revenues and expenditures are
expected to increase slightly above the projected levels for FY 1995.
Employee Benefits Fund is used to account for activities related to administration of
the City's self-insured health and worker's compensation programs, along with other
employee benefit costs. Service charges to departments are made based on $4,200
per authorized position for the health program and 2.5% of base wages for worker's
compensation expenses. Expenditures are expected to decrease slightly from FY 1995.
General Liability Fund is used to account for activities related to the City's self-funded
general liability programs such as automobile liability, as well as other claims and
judgments asserted against the City. Revenues for this fund are limited to transfers
from general operating revenues; however, no transfer is proposed this year as current
reserves will be utilized. Proposed expenditures are expected to decline slightly related
to property insurance.

x
FISCAL POLICY
The overall goal of the City's fiscal policy is to establish and maintain effective management
of the City's financial resources. Formal policy statements and major objectives provide the
foundation for achieving this goal. Accordingly, this section outlines the policies used in
guiding the preparation and management of the City's overall budget and the major
objectives to be accomplished. In addition, the rationale which led to the establishment of
the fiscal policy statements is also identified.
BUDGETING
1. A comprehensive annual budget will be prepared for all funds expended by the City.
Rationale: Inclusion of all funds in the budget enables the Council, the
administration, and the public to consider all financial aspects of city government
when preparing, modifying, and monitoring the budget, rather than deal with the
City's finances on a "piece meal" basis.
2. The budget will be prepared in such a manner as to facilitate its understanding by
citizens and elected officials.
Rationale. One of the stated purposes of the budget is to present a picture of the
city government operations and intentions for the year to the citizens of Beaumont.
Presenting a budget document that is understandable to the citizens furthers the
goal of effectively communicating local government finance issues to both elected
officials and the public.
3. In addition to required public hearings, the Council will hold work sessions on the
budget which will be open to the public.
Rationale: Work sessions provide all citizens with a forum for meaningful
participation in the budget process. Work sessions enable citizens to: obtain an
understanding of the budget that cannot be acquired by the document itself; provide
public input to the proposed budget; and to monitor the Council's changes to the
proposed budget.
4. Copies of the proposed budget will be made available to citizens and elected
officials prior to the work sessions.
Rationale. Providing citizens with copies of the proposed budget in advance of the
work sessions enables the public to become better informed on the issues facing the
Council and the administration during the budget work sessions.
A
5. Budgetary emphasis will focus on providing those basic municipal services which
provide the maximum level of services, to the most citizens, in the most cost effective
manner, with due consideration being given to all costs - economic, fiscal, and
social.
Rationale. Adherence to this basic philosophy provides the citizens of Beaumont
assurance that its government and elected officials are responsive to the basic
needs of the citizens and that its government is operated in an economical and
efficient manner.
6. The budget will provide for adequate maintenance of capital, plant, and equipment
and for their orderly replacement.
Rationale: All governments experience prosperous times as well as periods of
economic decline. In periods of economic decline, proper maintenance and
replacement of capital, plant, and equipment is generally postponed or eliminated as
a first means of balancing the budget. Recognition of the need for adequate
maintenance and replacement of capital, plant, and equipment, regardless of the
economic conditions, will assist in maintaining the government's equipment and
infrastructure in good operating condition.
7. The City will avoid budgetary practices that balance current expenditures at the
expense of meeting future years' expenses.
Rationale: Budgetary practices such as postponing capital expenditures, accruing
future years' revenues, or rolling over short-term debt are budgetary practices which
can solve short-term financial problems; however, they can create much larger
financial problems for future administrations and councils. Avoidance of these
budgetary practices will assure citizens that current problems are not simply being
delayed to a future year.
8. The City will give highest priority in the use of one-time revenues to the funding of
capital assets or other non-recurring expenditures.
Rationale: Utilizing one-time revenues to fund on-going expenditures results in
incurring annual expenditure obligations which may be unfunded in future years.
Using one-time revenues to fund capital assets or other non-recurring expenditures
better enables future administrations and councils to cope with the financial
problems when these revenue sources are discontinued, since these types of
expenditures can more easily be eliminated.
xii
9. The City will maintain a budgetary control system to help it adhere to the established
budget.
Rationale: The budget passed by the Council establishes the legal spending limits
for the City. A budgetary control system is essential in order to insure legal
compliance with the City's budget.
10. The City will exercise budgetary control (maximum spending authority) through City
Council approval of appropriation authority for each appropriated budget unit.
Rationale: Exercising budgetary control for each appropriated budget unit assists the
Council in monitoring current year operations. It also acts as an early warning
mechanism when departments deviate in any substantive way from the original
budget.
11. Reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts will be
prepared monthly.
Rationale. The City's budget is ineffective without a system to regularly monitor
actual spending and revenue collections with those anticipated at the beginning of
the year. Monthly reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budget
amounts provide the mechanism for the Council and the administration to regularly
monitor compliance with the adopted budget.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
The Beaumont Police Department's primary responsibility is to provide law enforcement and public
safety for citizens in a way that advances and preserves democratic values. The department actively
enforces federal, state, and city laws and regulations. It is organized to respond in both a proactive,
as well as the traditional reactive manner. The department is committed to a Community Oriented
Policing concept and actively seeks input from citizens and neighborhoods in order to develop
meaningful solutions to community crime problems.
The department is structured into three divisions: Administration, Field Operations and Criminal
Investigations.
The Administration Division handles general administrative activities, such as planning and research,
training and procurement. The Narcotics and Vice unit is included in this division as these officers
work directly under the Chief of Police. Some of these officers participate in the Jefferson County
Narcotics Task Force. There is a five member community relations unit that operates the D.A.R.E.
(Drug Abuse Resistant Education) program in the public schools. Other programs in this area include
the Adopt-A-Cop program in elementary schools, and Neighborhood Watch programs. In 1995, the
department made a firm commitment to improving the quality of life in the community by starting the
P.A.L. (Police Athletic League) program to reach at-risk youth in our city. A school liaison officer

FIRE
The Fire Department's objective is to preserve human life and property and minimize casualties and
loss through rapid and effective response to emergency situations. The department administers
comprehensive and effective fire prevention and suppression activities. This is accomplished with
dedicated and trained individuals staffing eleven fire stations strategically located throughout the city.
Suppression personnel undergo extensive and continuing training in firefighting methods, first aid and
rescue techniques. Special teams have been established to handle hazardous materials, underwater
rescue and high-rise and heavy duty rescue situations. The firefighting force is also trained for quick
response and the use of techniques and extinguishing agents appropriate for the types of fires
encountered in an industrialized urban community. In addition to these suppression duties, the
department also performs the following functions:
The Prevention function promotes fire safety by inspecting for fire hazards, enforcing fire
codes, educating the public with programs and conducting demonstrations and drills.
The Communication's staff is responsible for receiving all emergency calls and efficiently
dispatching the proper equipment and personnel. All calls relative to Emergency Medical
Services are also dispatched through the Communications Division. This section also
maintains all fire alarm systems throughout the city.
The Arson function focuses on deliberately set fires through investigation of suspected arson
cases and enforcement of applicable laws and ordinances.
Unlike other City departments, the Fire Department maintains its own fleet, including all fire trucks,
automobiles and specialized equipment used in firefighting.
The department is able to boast the most extensive Fire Museum in the area including a model home
and safety center used to teach children fire safety. The Fire Training Grounds Facility operates on
funds it generates from courses in specialized industrial and municipal firefighting techniques. A
significant number of firefighters come from outside this area to participate in these training classes.

Dancers and the Bar-B-Square square dancers is just one way the community sees a return on the
investment in its senior citizens.
An ever growing need to keep children and teenagers "off the streets" has prompted the Recreation
Division to provide many coordinated activities in most area parks. The summer food service program
will provide a projected 41,000 meals to children 18 and under at eight (8) locations. From athletic
activities such as basketball, track, dancing and exercise to entertainment activities such as Neighbors
in the Park, Concerts in the Park and increased summer youth programs, the recreational needs of
the community are being met with an unconditional commitment to the future.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The Solid Waste Management Department is charged with the responsibility of managing
solid waste for the City of Beaumont. Functions include:
• Once a week collection of residential garbage and containerized green waste.
• Every other week collection of recyclables.
• Operation of a full scale composting facility.
• Operation of a Type I Sanitary Landfill.
• Administration of other waste reduction programs.
Landfill modifications to meet new federal Sub-Title "D" regulations have been approved by
the State. The construction of the first disposal cell under the new regulations will occur in
Fiscal Year 1996 at a substantially higher cost than prior cells.
The compost operation has been one of our most successful programs. Approximately
150,000 cubic yards of yard waste is processed annually, and the finished compost is
returned to citizens through distribution sites at six city parks and at the Landfill.
During FY 95, weekly curbside recycling was changed to every other week. This resulted in
substantial collection cost savings with little change in the volume of materials collected.
During FY 96, the department will strive to continue managing the City's solid waste programs
in an efficient and professional manner. Our objective is to always provide the highest level of
service to the citizens of Beaumont at the most economical cost.
