REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider authorizing the City Manager to apply for and

Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Kirby Richard, Internal Services Director
MEETING DATE: March 22, 2005
AGENDA MEMO DATE: March 15, 2005
REQUESTED ACTION: Council authorize the City Manager to execute lease agreements for
a Remote Transmitter/Receiver (RTR) facility at the Beaumont
Municipal Airport.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute two agreements with the
Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) for continued occupancy and leasing property at the City's
municipal airport.
BACKGROUND
The City and FAA originally entered into an agreement in 1980 to provide approximately 111 square
feet of floor space in the terminal building and a 70' x 70'plot of land to operate a thirty (30) foot
guyed tower. The tower serves as a transmission device for the Single Frequency Outlet(SFO)and
Back-Up Emergency Communication (BUEC) equipment. Pilots departing from the municipal
airport can speak directly to the Jefferson County Airport tower prior to taking offthrough the SFO
system. BUEC equipment allows area air traffic to speak to the Houston Air Traffic Center in the
event of a power failure at other area communication points. All of the systems are maintained and
operated by the FAA for the general aviation public.
The lease agreement for the RTR facility expires in September 2005. The FAA wants to renew the
lease in the form of two agreements. A supplemental agreement is proposed to lease space within
the terminal building for placement and operation of the transmitting and receiving equipment. A new
lease agreement will provide for the land site of the RTR tower.
Both agreements have a term of ten (10) years, with FAA options to renew on an annual basis

thereafter. As consideration for the lease, the FAA agrees to pay $971.25 per year in quarterly
payments. Payments will remain the same if any extension is exercised.
A copy of each agreement is attached for your detailed review.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
FAA agrees to pay an annual fee of$971.25. Funds are deposited into the Municipal Airport Fund.

FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Tyrone E. Cooper, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: March 22, 2005
AGENDA MEMO DATE: March 18, 2005
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider an ordinance eliminating several boards,
commissions and other appointed committees.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends the elimination of the Airport Advisory Committee, Senior Citizens
Advisory Commission, Sister City Commission, Transit Advisory Committee and the
Reinvestment Zone No. 1 Board of Directors.
BACKGROUND
The staff has conducted a comprehensive review of all of the boards and commissions of the City
of Beaumont. This review was made for the purpose of determining whether these boards were
operating within the parameters of their enacting ordinances. Section 2-53 of the code of ordinances
is a general provision that establishes the procedures concerning appointments, terms, attendance,
qualification and duties of the boards and commissions. This section controls unless the specific
ordinance creating the particular board or commissions is in conflict. In those instances the specific
ordinances will prevail. During this review there were some discrepancies found that have since
been rectified. It was also discovered during the course of the review that several boards have not
met in quite a while and its members terms have long ago expired. The responsibilities of these
boards are being handled by yet other boards and or staff. One board has expired by the terms of its
creating resolution. This seems to suggest that several boards are no longer needed. It is the
recommendation of staff that the following Boards and/or commissions be eliminated:
Airport Advisory Committee, Senior Citizen Advisory Commission, Sister City
Commission, Transit Advisory Committee, and the Reinvestment Zone No. 1
Board of Directors.
The recommended elimination of these boards is by no means a comment as to the service of the
board members who willingly gave of their time to the City. It is just that these particular boards
are no longer effective in their operation and have become more of a burden than a benefit to its
members and the City.

FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Joris P. Colbert, City Engineer
MEETING DATE: March 22, 2005
AGENDA MEMO DATE: February 17, 2005
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution authorizing eminent domain
proceedings to acquire property at Willow Street and McFaddin
Avenue [825 McFaddin] for the future site of the Convention and
Visitors Bureau.
RECOMMENDATION
The property, which is located at 825 McFaddin Street and is described as being a 1597 x 75.75'
x 159.7' x 76.8' tract of land out of Tract 2, Block 4 in the Fuller Keith Addition, is to be used
for the construction of a new Convention and Visitors Bureau Office Building.
The administration recommends authorization to acquire the property by eminent domain.
BACKGROUND
The City Council on November 16, 2004, authorized the purchase of the property located at 825
McFaddin Street for a negotiated value of$5,000. This property is to be used as the future site
of the Beaumont Convention and Visitors Bureau. It has since been discovered that the property
is encumbered with abstracts of judgment and other liens which exceed the $5,000 offered. The
property owner, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, cannot provide clear insurable title
to the property without paying off these encumbrances. This cannot be accomplished at the$5,000
amount offered. As a result, the property owner has not accepted the $5,000 offered for this
property.
Eminent domain would allow the City to include the owner and any lien holder in the proceeding
and provide an opportunity to acquire good and sufficient title to the land, which title can be
secured by a policy of title insurance.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
The cost of this parcel is funded under the General Improvement Fund.

MEETING DATE: March 22, 2005
AGENDA MEMO DATE: March 18, 2005
REQUESTED ACTION: Consider contracting with SunGard HTE, Inc. (HTE) for the
purchase, installation and related training of a Customer Service
Utility Billing System, including a module for online payments.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends authorization of such contract with a proposed cost of$152,705.
Annual maintenance costs will be $10,510.
BACKGROUND
The current system is a custom written application purchased in 1990 and is no longer supported by
the vendor. The level of support that was being provided by the vendor become so poor that the
contract with the company was terminated.
The current system is not a code driven system and does not provide adequate editing capabilities for
authorized customer service staff. It does, however, require much support from Information
Services' staff. The software does not allow for any expansion of the system and it does not allow
for on line payments, which are very much in demand.
The interface into the financial system is cumbersome and inadequate,thereby,causing many manual
processes to reconcile. At this time,there are 23 enhancement requests from water customer service
that the current system is not capable of providing.
HTE provides a broad range of innovative software solutions to more than 2,200 government offices,
agencies and utility companies throughout North America. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in
Lake Mary, Florida, HTE was purchased by SunGard in March, 2003. The company's products
address the wireless computing requirements of a rapidly changing public sector market and support
the end-to-end delivery of e-government access to citizens and businesses.
Selected in 1990 as the City's primary financial software vendor, SunGard HTE currently provides
numerous modules including Government Management and Budgetary Accounting (GMBA),
Purchasing/Inventory, Payroll, Fixed Assets,Accounts Receivable,Cash Receipts,and others. The
new HTE Municipal Court Software Module will have the ability to interface with the existing
financial software and eliminate numerous manual processes currently being performed. It will also
provide additional internal controls related to cash receipts and disbursements at Cash Management
and Customer Service.
SunGard HTE is considered a sole source procurement due to their intricate interfaces with current
software modules and the existing hardware and software investments.
BUDGETARYIMPACT
Total costs of this enhancement is anticipated to be $152,705. Total annual maintenance for this
enhancement will be $10,510. Funds are available in the Water Utilities Fund to cover these costs.

workshop. State certified workshops encourage and assist disabled persons to achieve maximum
personal independence by engaging in useful and productive activities. Job programs are designed
for disabled individuals and marketed throughout the community. The State exempts political
subdivisions from competitive bidding requirements when contracting with a certified workshop.
BPS has been furnishing bi-weekly litter removal services on specific arterial streets since 1987.
In 1996, the contract was changed to provide litter removal services on a pay per hour worked
basis. This method allows staff to select the area in which litter removal services are of greatest
need and assign the contractor to that area.
BPS provides a crew of four (4) collection personnel and one (1) supervisor/driver, five (5) days
per week, excluding City holidays. BPS will be paid $12.09 per hour, per person worked. This
cost includes all labor, transportation, equipment, insurance, and litter disposal fees. The hourly
rate provides the City with the option of using the crews only when and where needed.

AGENDA MEMO DATE: March 9, 2005
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider granting a new solid waste collection and
transportation service franchise.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends granting a solid waste collection and transportation service franchise
to Arrow Waste, Inc.
BACKGROUND
According to City ordinances, a franchise agreement is required prior to a firm conducting
business within the City limits. Five (5) firms currently have nonexclusive franchise agreements
with the City and are doing business in this area. Arrow Waste has requested that the City grant
the company a franchise agreement for collection, hauling and transportation garbage or refuse
from locations in the City, and the disposal of such material in accordance with applicable laws.
Arrow Waste was formed in 2001 by Juan DeAanda. Prior to forming this company, Mr.
DeAanda owned Custom Waste of Houston from 1981 to 1996, when he sold it to Sanifill
Industries (Waste Management), due to illness in his family. After his Non-Compete status
expired in 2001, Mr. DeAanda formed Arrow Waste. The company is headquartered in Houston,
Texas, where it currently operates 12 trucks and employs 23 people.
In 2003 the company formed an additional waste disposal business known as Capitol City Disposal
of Austin which currently operates five trucks and employs seven people. Both companies,
Capitol City Disposal and Arrow Waste, are 100% minority owned and operated. Arrow Waste
anticipates operating 10-12 trucks in our area over the next five years with approximately 15
employees.

RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends granting a solid waste collection and transportation service franchise
to Triangle Waste Solutions, LLC.
BACKGROUND
According to City ordinances, a franchise agreement is required prior to a firm conducting
business within the City limits. Five (5) firms currently have nonexclusive franchise agreements
with the City and are doing business in this area. One of those firms, American Waste Services,
LTD, sold their solid waste collection division to Triangle Waste, effective January 14, 2005.
Triangle Waste Solutions has requested that the City grant the company a franchise agreement for
collection, hauling and transportation garbage or refuse from locations in the City, and the
disposal of such material in accordance with applicable laws.
Triangle Waste Solutions was formed in October 2003 by a private investor. Even though it is
a relatively new company, the entire employee base was generated from other companies in the
same line of work in our community. As a result, the company proudly boasts employee veterans
in the industry with over 60 years of "on the job" experience. In addition, the company's
equipment is all new and of the latest technology.
Corporate headquarters for Triangle Waste is located in Nederland,Texas. Twenty percent(20%)
of the company is minority owned, and the company has a 40% minority employee base. Initially
the company will operate one truck and at least two employees in the area, and anticipates

increasing its client base to require additional trucks and employees in the future.
The requested franchise agreement is generally the same as those previously approved by City
Council. It provides for a term of one year from its effective date and a franchise fee of seven
percent (7%) of gross revenues received for service. The term is extended on a month-to-month
basis after the expiration of the initial term. The Agreement also requires the firm to indemnify
the City and provide insurance which names the City of Beaumont as a named insured.

REQUESTED ACTION: Council adopt an ordinance, in accordance with Subchapter W to
Chapter 361 of the Texas Health and Safety Code, establishing a
Municipal Setting Designation for all property located within the
corporate City limits.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends adoption of an ordinance, in accordance with Subchapter W to
Chapter 361 of the Texas Health and Safety Code, establishing a Municipal Setting Designation
for all property located within the corporate City limits.
BACKGROUND
The City was recently contacted by Neches Street Properties, LLC requesting a Municipal Setting
Designation(MSD)for the property located at 1110 Neches Street. The facility at this location and
some immediately surrounding area have a shallow groundwater contamination plume present.
Natural attenuation(cleanup by naturally occurring processes) of the contaminants is in evidence
and additional engineered clean-up activities are currently being proposed to the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to expedite further clean up of the site. The Neches Street
Properties has entered into the TCEQ's Voluntary Cleanup Program.
The purpose of the MSD is to allow properties located within a municipality to limit the scope of
or eliminate the need for investigation or response action by addressing contaminant impact to
groundwater that has been restricted from use as potable water by ordinance. Although the City
has an ordinance requiring connection to the City's water system if service is provided within three
hundred feet of the property, this is not sufficient to meet the requirements in Chapter 361,
Subchapter W of the Texas Health and Safety Code. The designation as an MSD will require all
properties located within the corporate City limits to connect to the City's water system and will
prohibit the installation of water wells to be used for potable water sources.

AGENDA MEMO DATE: March 14, 2005
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider an ordinance establishing procedures to identify
structures, which have been tagged as a dangerous structure, as
having historical significance and providing time frames for their
repair and/or rehabilitation.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of an ordinance establishing procedures to identify structures,
which have been tagged as a dangerous structure, as having historical significance and providing
time frames for their repair and/or rehabilitation.
BACKGROUND
During the February 22, 2005 City Council meeting, a public hearing was held to provide citizens
an opportunity to address Council regarding structures that had been tagged as dangerous
structures. One of the citizens that addressed Council indicated he was restoring a "historical
structure" to its original condition. Additionally, he stated, in order to complete the restoration,
it was necessary to have many of the construction items, such as siding, molding, etc., custom
made in order to match the materials used when the structure was originally constructed. Based
on the anticipated time to complete a full restoration of the structure, the property owner was
requesting more time than is typically provided for other tagged structures. It should be noted that
although this particular structure was constructed in the early 1900's, no official historical
designation has been given to the structure.
In an attempt to address this structure and similar type structures in the future, City Council
requested staff to prepare procedures and criteria to identify tagged dangerous structures that may
have historical significance. Enclosed are the proposed procedures and criteria to identify potential
historical structures and the time frame established for repairs and/or rehabilitation.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
