health benefit savings vehicle that allows an eligible employee to accumulate assets to pay for medical
expenses for the employee,his spouse and/or dependents in retirement on a tax-free basis. The plan
allows the member to invest dollars in the Vantagepoint Mutual Funds for financial needs during
retirement. RHS offers a number of benefits, including tax-deferred accumulation of earnings and,
if account assets are used to pay for tax qualified medical benefits for the member,his spouse and/or
his dependents, the additional benefit of tax-free withdrawals.
The RHS plan will be available to eligible civilian employees and may be the subject of negotiation
with the unions representing Firefighters and Police Officers.

City of Beaumont
Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Lane Nichols, City Attorney
PREPARED: Lane Nichols, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: July 13, 2004
AGENDA MEMO DATE: July 6, 2004
REQUESTED ACTION: Council to consider a resolution authorizing the City Attorney's
office to institute litigation against the Hampton Inn, Interstate Inn
and Scottish Inn concerning unpaid local hotel occupancy taxes.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends that the council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Attorney to
institute legal actions against the Hampton Inn, Interstate Inn and Scottish Inn to collect unpaid
local hotel occupancy taxes.
BACKGROUND
The City of Beaumont has instituted a local Hotel Occupancy Tax as allowed by Chapter 351 of
the Tax Code of the State of Texas. Under that statute, hotels and motels within the City of
Beaumont are required to collect the tax from persons who utilize their facilities and pay that tax
on a monthly basis to the city. Currently the Hampton Inn owes penalty and interest for a three-
month period. The Interstate Inn owes taxes, penalty and interest for two months and the Scottish
Inn is past due four months for the payment of taxes, penalty and interest. Our office has written
collection letters to each of these entities on various occasions, but they have had very little effect.
Section 351.004 of the Tax Code allows the city's attorney to bring suit against a person who is
required to collect the tax, who has failed to file a tax report or pay the tax when due. The
lawsuit may also seek to enjoin the operation of the hotel in the municipality until the tax is paid
or the report is filed. In addition to any tax owed, the statute allows us to seek reasonable
attorney's fees and a penalty equal to fifteen (15) percent of the total amount owed.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Funds due under the Hotel Occupancy Tax are placed into a fund, a portion of which is used for
Convention and Visitor's Bureau activities, the operation of the Civic Center and support of the
arts.
TO: City Council MEETING DATE: July 13, 2004
FROM: Lane Nichols, City Attorney AGENDA MEMO DATE: July 6, 2004
PREVIOUS ACTION
None.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
If authorized by council, we would institute litigation against those entities which failed to pay,
seeking an order of the court enjoining them from operation until they make proper payment.
RECOMMENDED BY
City Manager, City Attorney, Director of the Convention and Visitor's's Bureau and the Finance
Officer.

PREPARED BY: Brenda Beadle, Purchasing Manager
MEETING DATE: July 13, 2004
AGENDA MEMO DATE: July 8, 2004
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider awarding an annual contract for work uniforms.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends an annual contract for the purchase of civilian employee work uniforms
from Shepherd's Uniform and Linen Supply Company, Inc. of Beaumont, Texas, at the unit prices
listed on the attached Bid Tabulation for the estimated yearly amount of$44,941.
BACKGROUND
City employee work uniforms include men's and women's pants and shirts, as well as other items
such as jackets, coveralls, and caps when appropriate. Currently, approximately 400 civilian
employees are issued three (3) to five (5) sets of uniforms each year. Individual City departments
determine the number of uniforms issued to each employee.
Vendors were given approximate yearly usage quantities and were asked to provide an itemized price
list and samples of their work uniforms. The specifications requested a surcharge quote for oversized
items which are generally defined as items in sizes greater than a 2X shirt or 48"waist size. The bid
specifications indicated that delivery is required within ten(10) days after a receipt of a purchase
order. In addition, the specifications required the successful bidder to have a physical storefront
within the city limits of Beaumont to expedite the measurement of employees and issuance of
uniforms throughout the contract period.
Bids were received from four(4)vendors and are detailed in the attached Bid Tabulation for review.
The apparent lowest bidders were Gordon International of Port Chester,New York,and WearForm
of Houston,Texas. Neither Gordon International nor WearForm currently have a storefront within
the city limits of Beaumont and both vendors quoted delivery times exceeding ten(10) days. The
lowest qualified bidder is Shepherd's Uniform and Linen Supply Company,Inc.of Beaumont,Texas.
