P. 0. Box 3827
Beaumont,Texas 77704
Dear Mayor and City Council,
The Federal Highways Administration will hold a scoping meeting at 7 p.m. 1T:iitrsday,
September 23rd at the Port Arthur Civic Center to receive public comments regarding the
reconstruction of State Highway 87.
Local leaders have long considered reconstruction of the highway to be a matter of regional
importance and I would appreciate your support for the project. I have attached sample Ianguage
for a resolution of support which I would ask the City Council to consider at its earliest
convenience.
I would also ask that a member of the City Council attend the meeting to present the resolution to
the FHWA, if possible. I believe this would amplify your statement of support and demonstrate
that the project truly is a regional issue. If no one is available, I would ask you to for-ward the
resolution tome and l will be glad to present it on behalf of the City Council.
Thank you for your support:If*you have any questions or need ad' difion irifbrrnaticn, please'
contact me. -

RECOMMENDATION
N O
Administration recommends payment of Southwestern Bell's property damage claim in the amount
of$81,686.24
BACKGROUND
In December, 1997, the City of Beaumont Transportation Department damaged Southwestern
Bell's underground cable and conduit at Wall Street and Pearl. The damage occurred during
installation of the lights for the parking lot west of the Julie Rogers Theater. The administration
has determined that the City is legally responsible for damages resulting from the failure to request
proper locates prior to excavation in a non-emergency situation. Bell has also agreed to drop ten
smaller claims which were being processed.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
The liability trust fund will be reduced by $81,686.24.

Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Michel G. Bertrand, Fire Chief
MEETING DATE: September 21, 1999
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 13, 1999
REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval of Fire Station 11 reassignment or a staffing plan for
the fire station located at 6375 Walden Road.
RECOMMENDATION
Since 1997, fire administration has recommended redeploying the crew from Fire Station No. 11 at
2185 Sabine Pass to the Walden Road location. The facility on Sabine Pass may then be utilized by
Beaumont E.M.S. as Medic 3 Station. Redeployment of Medic 3 from its Washington Boulevard
location would provide a cost savings of$5,600 per year lease payments. In response to Council
discussion and community concerns, the administrative recommendation has been revised to place
a ready reserve pumper at the Sabine Pass location, staffed by off--duty personnel in times of
anticipated need. Should staffing be necessary, overtime expense will be incurred.
Based on Council's direction to retain fire service from the Sabine Pass location at minimal or no
additional cost,alternative recommendations were studied.After a comprehensive review of various
options, the administration has provided the following alternative staffing plans for Council's
review.
Alternative staffing plan no. 1 involves departmental reorganization and redeployment of personnel
and equipment from both fire suppression and non-suppression divisions. Alternative staffing plan
no. 2 involves hiring of additional personnel, with funding for the plan provided through General
Fund revenues.
Regardless of what action Council takes on this issue,this fire service area will be closely monitored
by the administration. Monthly status reports and quarterly analysis of fire system performance will
be presented to Council for review.
Staffing Plan for Fire Station
September 13, 1999

BACKGROUND
In 1990, the fire department became aware of deficiencies in response distance and time in the
southwest sector of the community. At that time, no action was taken to correct the deficiencies.
Subsequently, in 1996, an updated study was conducted to examine the fire protection needs within
this sector. The updated study found that serious deficiencies still exist.
To correct this inadequacy, the Insurance Services Office (I.S.0), an independent rating
organization, recommended two options. The report received in September of 1996 recommended
to either relocate one of the two engine company crews located at Fire Station No. 1 to a proposed
site in the vicinity of Interstate 10-South and Walden Road, or to relocate the engine company crew
from Fire Station No. 11 to the same site.
By the time the I. S. O. report was received in September, 1996, an initiative was already underway
to consolidate the services provided by Engine 1 and Snorkel 1 at Fire Station No. 1._ The purpose
of consolidating these two pieces of equipment was twofold. First,to replace an aging Snorkel unit.
Second, to provide a unit that could be kept in service 100%of the time. Due to staffing constraints,
Engine 1 was frequently placed out of service. On June 13, 1996, a purchase order was issued to
acquire a 100' aerial apparatus that could serve both as a pumper and/or ladder platform. The
department accepted delivery of Truck 1 and the resulting consolidation was implemented April 22,
1997. Consequently, the only recommended option remaining was to relocate the crew of Fire
Station No. 11.
On February 11, 1997, a presentation was made to Council establishing the need for three fire
stations. The presentation focused on the construction of the facilities and the need to adequately
staff the stations with existing personnel. Council authorized to execute an agreement for
architectural services on May 26, 1998. Council awarded the contract for construction of the three
facilities to Daniels Building& Construction on September 29, 1998. Target date for completion of
construction was scheduled for September 30, 1999.
In the period following the award of the construction contract,fire department staff began to prepare
for the implementation of the remaining recommended option,which was to redeploy the crew from
Fire Station No. 11 to the Walden Road site. As the time to make the redeployment has approached,
public concern over the proposed changes emerged.
If Council were to consider and approve the original recommendation, staffing the Walden Road
location would not require hiring additional personnel. The strategy provides more balanced,
uniform coverage for the entire community, greater efficiency in operations, and is the most cost
effective option.
Staffing Plan for Fire Station
September 13, 1999
Page 3
Analysis of Alternative Staffing Plans
Alternative Staffin@ Plan No. 1
Rename the Walden Road facility Fire Station No. 5. As a short term means of staffing the station,
relocate Truck 1 from Fire Station No. 1 to the Walden Road location. This apparatus was selected
due to its staffing pattern,maneuverability and combined function capability. Relocate Truck 3 from
Fire Station No. 3 to Fire Station No. 1 to maintain ladder service to both the downtown area and
South Park.
This alternative strategy can be implemented for FY2000,but should not be considered a long range
solution. Continued operation of an additional fire station places an added burden on the already
stressed resources of the fire department. In planning for the long range fire protection needs of the
community and safety of firefighters, additional staffing in the fire suppression division and
apparatus realignment will be necessary.
In FY2001, consolidate the services of Engine 9 and Truck 4, located at Fire Station No. 9, 7010
Gladys, by purchasing a single pumper/ladder apparatus. This is similar to the consolidation of
Engine 1 and Snorkel 1. If Council were to approve this alternative, all other scheduled apparatus
replacements would be deferred for FY2001. After the consolidation, the pumper currently located
at Fire Station No. 9 would be relocated to proposed Fire Station No. 5. Truck 1 and Truck 3 would
be restored to their original locations.
If fire administration is directed to provide staffing at the Walden Road station through utilization
of personnel in non-suppression divisions,the following divisions would be affected: fire prevention,
fire training, and fire administration. Although the total number of personnel necessary to staff the
station will be provided from within the department, the adoption of this alternative will create a
negative impact on services provided.
To compensate for this negative impact,reassignment of the three Deputy Chief positions from fire
suppression (24 hour shifts) to day positions (40 hours per week) is required. One Deputy Chief
position would be assigned to fire suppression, one to fire training, and one to fire prevention.
Investigation of the feasibility of civilianization of the fire communications division will be explored
as a means of restoring the reassigned positions from non-suppression divisions.
Current staffing in the fire prevention division consists of seven personnel, which is below current
recommended levels. It is anticipated that three personnel from this division (Grade I, 11, 111) could
be reassigned with the adoption of this alternative. It is estimated that fire safety inspections will
be reduced by over 50%. Due to the reassignment of the only full-time fire/arson investigator,
fire/arson investigations and clearance rate may also experience a negative impact. Public fire
education and safety programs will be significantly reduced. A reduction of personnel from the fire
prevention division will increase the potential for personal risk to citizens and firefighters and may
result in a greater fire loss. The long term result may be an increase in community fire insurance
Staffing Plan for Fire Station
September 13, 1999
Page 4
rates due to increased fire losses.
Current staffing in the fire training division consists of three personnel, which is also below current
recommended levels. It is anticipated that one position from this division (Grade III) could be
reassigned with the adoption of this alternative. Reassignment of this position will eliminate the
program manager for fire and hazardous materials training. The department is regulated by the
Texas Commission on Fire Protection and Environmental Protection Agency in these two areas.
Reassignment of this position may result in suspension of certifications, which in turn, may result
in possible fines due to non-compliance.
Current staffing in fire administration consists of four personnel, including the Fire Chief and
Assistant Chief. It is anticipated that two positions from this division (Grade III - Administrative
Assistant, Grade II - Supply Officer) Nvill be reassigned with the adoption of this alternative.
Reassignment of the Administrative Assistant will eliminate the position responsible for
management of civilian staff, will negatively impact budgeting and purchasing functions, and make
the possibility of transition to an advanced life support first responder program very difficult. The
Supply Officer maintains the protective clothing program to meet state mandated standards,
coordinates maintenance and supply needs of all fire department facilities, and serves as liaison to
vendors and suppliers. Reassignment of this position could result ip inability to meet state mandated
protective clothing standards, and deterioration of existing facilities and equipment.
Alternative Staffing Plan No. 2
Authorize twelve new firefighter positions, consisting of three Grade III (Captain), three Grade II
(Driver/Operator) and six Grade I(Firefighter)to staff the Walden Road station. Initially, a reserve
pumper could be utilized. It would be necessary to replace the pumper within four years. First year
start-up costs are estimated at$700,000. Recurring costs for personnel, operations and maintenance
for following years are estimated at$670,000 per year.
Summary of Alternatives
The resulting impact of alternative strategies would include continued overlapping service coverage
in the southeast part of the community.Also,it will require an extension of the service life of already
aging fire apparatus. Alternative staffing plan number 2 would necessitate promoting three Grade
II positions to Grade III (Captain), reducing the total number of Grade II positions by three, and
maintaining the current number of Grade I positions for FY2000.
For FY2000 and a portion of FY2001,Engine 3, located at Kenneth and Woodrow, will experience
an increased volume of first responder calls due to the temporary relocation of Truck 3. Response
times for ladder truck service to the south end will be increased during this period, as well. Although
Truck 1 can operate as a pumper, its limited water capacity will require locating a ready reserve
apparatus at the Walden Road station for incidents requiring larger volumes of water carried on the
apparatus.
Staffing Plan for Fire Station
September 13, 1999
Page 5
BUDGETARY IMPACT
The administrative recommendation will impact the budget through overtime expense only in times
of anticipated need for the ready reserve pumper to be staffed. Due to the uncertainty of this
contingency, there is no accurate way to forecast this expense. It is estimated at approximately
$5,000 per year.
Alternative Staffing Plan No. 1
Total budgetary impact of this alternative staffing plan in FY2000 is estimated at $10,000. This
includes the cost of upgrades at an additional station from Grade II to Grade 111, Grade I to Grade
11, and station maintenance costs. Some overtime expense is likely.
In FY2001, a combined pumper/ladder apparatus will be purchased to consolidate Engine 9 and
Truck 4. Estimated cost for this unit at time of purchase is $550,000. This will be an increase above
the cost of scheduled replacement of a pumper by$225,000. Although there will be a short term cost
increase, long term benefits will be derived through replacing two units through a single purchase,
thereby addressing multiple needs with a single piece of equipment. This would allow the
reassignment of the pumper located at Fire Station No. 9 to Walden Road and eliminate the initial
need to purchase a new pumper.
Alternative Staffing Plan No. 2
Total budgetary impact in FY 2000 for this alternative strategy is $700,000. In following years, it
is estimated that budgetary impact will total approximately $670,000 per year.
PREVIOUS ACTION
On February 11, 1997,a presentation was given to Council in workshop outlining the need for the
construction of three fire stations. The presentation focused on the location of the facilities and
utilization of existing personnel to staff the stations. Council unanimously approved architectural
services on May 26, 1998 and awarded the construction contract for three fire stations September
29, 1998. A presentation was given to Council on issues surrounding fire station locations and
strategic issues on September 7, 1999.No formal action has been considered by Council in reference
to relocation and staffing requirements.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
If the administrative recommendation is approved by Council, the crew from Fire Station No. 1 I
would be relocated from Sabine Pass to Walden Road. No other Council action would be required.
If alternative staffing plan no. 1 is approved by Council, reassignment of the three Deputy Chief
positions will require an agreement with the Firefighter's Union and an examination of civil service
statutes. Civilianization of the communications division will require an examination of civil service
statutes and case law, and will also require an agreement with the Firefighter's Union.

September 13, 1999
Page 6
If alternative staffing plan no. 2 is approved by Council, in FY2000, authorization for three Captain
positions would be required, as well as reduction of three Driver/Operator positions. In FY2001,
Council will consider authorizing purchase of a pumper/ladder unit for the consolidation of Engine
9 and Truck 4.

Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Ingrid Holmes, Public Health Director
MEETING DATE: September 21, 1999
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 15, 1999
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consideration of the following alternatives to enhance the
current EMS system.
1. Solicit request for proposals (RFP's) for a one year pilot project
to provide emergency medical services to the community by a private
ambulance staffed with two Paramedics.
2. Add one ambulance unit staffed with two Paramedics to the City's
EMS Division.
3. Continue the current EMS delivery system and implement
management initiatives to improve response times and cost
effectiveness.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends that Council approve alternative number three that allows for
restructuring of the current system while also soliciting RFP's from private companies to
determine if dual paramedics can be achieved from private ambulance companies without a
subsidy from the City.
BACKGROUND
On September 13, 1999, the Administration met with representatives of the local ambulance
companies to discuss the ramifications of issuing an RFP for securing ambulance services staffed
exclusively with certified Paramedics. Based on that meeting, it is not certain whether a subsidy
would be required. With a competitive RFP process it may be possible to achieve compatible
Council Agenda Item - EMS
Page 2
September 15, 1999
service levels with City EMS at no cost to the City.
In addition to implementing the alternative(s) selected by Council, the Administration has
determined that it is in the City's best interest to proceed with initiatives that would enhance the
current EMS system. Staff is implementing the following actions.
1. Prepare and issue an RFP to privatize EMS billings and collections to increase revenues. The
goal is to achieve a 50% increase in payment for services rendered. Based on current revenues
of $800,000, an additional $400,000 would be received and the City's EMS subsidy would be
reduced to approximately $900,000.
2. Develop and implement modified emergency medical dispatch protocols which allow for better
management of the EMS calls received in the Fire Communications Center. The City EMS
system will concentrate on service response to trauma and life threatening calls. The non-
emergency calls for service will be transferred to private ambulance companies from dispatch or
the incident scene.
3. Revise first responder protocols and practices to facilitate effective utilization of City EMS
calls.
4.Anal ze current staffing and scheduling to determine y g b e the most cost effective method.
5. Relocate Med Station No.3 from Washington Blvd. to Fire Station No. 11 on Sabine Pass to
address medical service needs of that neighborhood and achieve savings of $5,600 per year in
lease payments.
In October 1998, the City of Beaumont was faced with the announcement of the withdrawal of a
contract by American Medical Response that provided EMS coverage to two areas of the
community. At that time, management and staff explored various options to resolve the situation
and finally decided to replace, through city funds, one of the two ambulances that had been
removed as a result of the contract withdrawal. This replacement is located at 6490 Calder,
leaving the void in the north end of the community.
Overall, response times clearly indicate that the major concern is in this (north end) area. As a
result, increasing response times demonstrate the need to acquire additional ambulance coverage.
Since the inception of the city's 9-1-1 ambulance service, the department has utilized private
ambulance companies to respond to rollover calls. (Those calls that the city cannot respond to
because all units are committed to other calls). From August to December 1998, the city used
private ambulance companies 37 times. By 1999, that number increased to 127. To date, there
have been no formal complaints regarding their use and/or service. These systems are often
Council Agenda Item - EMS
Page 3
September 15, 1999
staffed with a paramedic and EMT. Currently responding to most of these rollover calls are
Goldstar Ambulance Company, and Rural Metro. Other local ambulance companies also provide
assistance when requested to do so.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
1. If Council approves alternative number 1 to contract with a private provider, there will be a
loss of approximately $200,000 in revenues in addition to any subsidy which is required.
2. If Council approves alternative number 2 to acquire a 5th ambulance unit, it will cost an
additional $400,000 annually.
vZ 3. If Council approves alternative number 3 to maintain the current system with management
initiatives, additional revenues are expected from privatized billing serves ces. Additionally, the
relocation of Med Station No.3 to Fire Station No. 11 will save $5,600 er year in lease
payments. ,/ ti-& 0 -(-
PREVIOUS ACTION
On September 7, 1999, the Administration was requested to take Council comments into
consideration and provide alternatives for an enhanced EMS service.
On August 10, 1999, council was presented with information concerning four alternatives that
address the need to provide additional emergency medical services to the north end of the city.
Each alternative provided information regarding advantages and disadvantages to the system as
well as cost impact. This issue was discussed at the August 31, 1999 council meeting with council
deferring action until September 7, 1999 to acquire additional information on private EMS
service.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
If the first alternative is approved, Council will review the final selection and approve a contract
with a private ambulance company from the submitted request for proposals. If the second
alternative is approved, Council will modify the proposed FY 2000 Annual Operating Budget. If
the third alternative is approved, Council will review the final selection and approve a contract
for the provision of privatized billing services.

Services Division of the Clean Community Department.
RECOMMENDATION
Council consideration for the Clean Community Department to perform all grass mowing activities
for vacant properties and for properties that owners fail to mow.
BACKGROUND
A major administrative initiative is to improve the visual appearance of the city. An important
aspect of this is in maintaining public/private property to quality standards. Currently, mowing of
vacant property has been performed by private companies under contracts with the City. With the
department's management directing the work of city employees, more work will be performed
without the need for numerous inspections, re-inspections, contractor assignments and other task
associated with contract management. The entire program will be streamlined for efficiency and
effectiveness. A better program will be achieved with City employees resulting in a more attractive
city as related to overgrown grass and weeds on vacant properties
BUDGETARYIMPACT
The F.Y. 2000 requested annual.budget for mowing.contracts is $,130,000. Projected F.Y. 99
contract expense is $140,000. Our proposed budget for city mowing that includes five (5)
employees, equipment, equipment maintenance, fuel and supplies total $142,200. A City operated
program would add $12,200 to the requested F.Y. 2000 budget and $2,200 to projected F.Y. 99

We feel that the number of parcels will continue to increase as more condemned
structures are removed by City Crews and Community Block Grant Funds. Fiscal
Year '99 is projected to have an 8% increase in cutting over Fiscal Year '98.
Recommendation
It is my recommendation that the City of Beaumont's Clean Community Department
perform all aspects of the Mowing contracts for the following reasons:
1. Quality control and customer service procedures would be better
managed.
2. Request for service and complaints are received by the City and must
be relayed to the contractors, sometimes resulting in misunderstandings
and/or delays in mowing parcels.
3. A contractor will include a profit and a return on capital investment in
a bid while the City is looking only for the lowest cost and more quality
for that cost.
4. The City, under a long term contract, will pay for a capitol investment
in equipment (tractors and mower decks) for a contractor. The City can
buy tractors and mowers for ourselves without additional mark-up for
return on investment and use those tractors and decks for many years.
5. Estimated life for tractors and decks is 8-10 years. Based upon past
equipment maintenance, a 10 year life is achievable making the purchase
a good.investment.
6. Mowing cost by the City may be a little higher than contractor's cost at
first because of wages. However, turnover of contractor employees is
usually greater because of low wages and benefits. A stable work force
provides more efficiency and better service.

August 17, 1999
7. With a City operated program, the City can control its own future in
mowing parcels by having the ability to make timely changes in its
programs when change will reduce cost.
8. With our own equipment and personnel we would have a greater
opportunity to expand our mowing programs in the future if expansion
becomes beneficial.
Page 4 contains a proposed budget for F.Y. 2000 that includes the total cost of
performing this function in house with Regular City Employees.
Summary
Considering the population shift from East to West meaning more parcels that will
need mowing in the community, mowing expertise of the City's Clean Community
Department, uniform service for all mowing activities, and historical good
management of the department, it would be beneficial and cost effective to have a
complete in-house operated mowing program. Our intent is to provide the best
service to citizens at the lowest possible cost.
I will be available to discuss the proposal with you at your convenience.

MEETING DATE: September 21, 1999
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 15, 1999
REQUESTED ACTION: Adopt the 1999 property tax rate.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends that Council adopt a rate of$0.635 for the 1999 tax year. The tax
rate would be apportioned $0.35 to the General Fund and $0.285 to the Debt Service Fund.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with truth-in-taxation laws
in adopting their tax rates. Beginning with tax year 1998 (FY 1999) Senate Bill 841 required a
taxing unit's governing body to hold a public hearing and publish public notices for a tax increase.
Taxing units are required to hold a public hearing to impose an amount of property tax revenue
that exceeds the preceding year's property tax revenue even if the tax rate remains unchanged.
Based on the calculation by the Jefferson County Tax Office, the published increase in total tax
revenues will be 1.15%
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Property tax revenue in the proposed FY 2000 Budget is calculated at the current rate of$0.635
and totals $23,034,000 for the General and Debt Service Funds combined.

Council Agenda Item
TO: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
FROM: Tom Warner, Director of Public Works
PREPARED BY: Tom Warner, Director of Public Works
MEETING DATE: September 21, 1999
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 9, 1999
REQUESTED ACTION: Council authorize the Mayor to approve the proposed 111-10 Frontage
Roads Project schematic. The limits of the project are from Walden
Road to FM 364 (Major Drive).
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of the IH=10 Frontage Roads Project schematic and
authorization for the Mayor to approve the schematic for the City.
BACKGROUND
The Texas Department of Transportation(TxDOT),Jefferson County and the City of Beaumont have
agreed in principle to participate in the construction of frontage roads on IH-10 between Walden
Road and Major Drive. The entities would participate on a one-third basis in the cost of constructing
the frontage roads. The County has also indicated they would be responsible for the preliminary
engineering,feasibility studies and any other studies required to prepare the plans, specifications and
estimates and construction letting support documents. As a part of the preliminary engineering, the
County has prepared a schematic for the IH-10 Frontage Roads. The schematic will be submitted
to the Federal Highway Administration for approval. Authorization for the Mayor to approve the
schematic is being requested since the formal agreement among the three entities has not been
executed. The engineers estimate to construct the frontage roads is $11,400,000. Based on this
estimate, the anticipated cost to the City is 53,800,000.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Although approval of the schematic will not have a budgetary impact, this action will signify a
commitment to the project. Also, a delegation from Beaumont will be attending the September
meeting of the TxDOT Commission requesting additional funding for this project. If additional
funding is received, the City's share will be reduced.

The City's Finance Officer compared the cost of financing the equipment purchased to the cost
of paying for the equipment in full. In the past, savings have been realized from this type of
arrangement. Based on the current investment rates, the City would earn $51,043 over the term
of the agreement resulting in a potential net borrowing cost of $979.
The first annual payment of $73,790.42 will be due one year after execution of the agreement.

Subject: Lease Purchase Financing
The City has accepted delivery of a Fire Pumper Truck costing $316,928.99 for which
lease purchase financing is available. The lowest quoted interest rate is a fixed rate of
5.29% for five years in arrears which was received from Banc One Leasing Corp. Group
to finance (Municipal Lease Purchase) the purchase of the truck.
If the City invested the purchase price of the truck at our current yield we would earn
$81,678. The cost of interest to finance the purchase of the equipment is projected at
$52,022. Since we will be making annual payments on the lease purchase, we must
factor in the annual payment as a reduction in the cash available for investment. As a
result we would earn $51 ,043 over the term of the lease purchase which is a net
interest cost of $979 and would retain the use of our money for the length of the
financing.
Purchase out of current Net cost from investment i
funds (loss of the use of of current funds and Lease
funds) Purchase financing
($81,111) $979
It is my recommendation that we use the Municipal Lease Purchase, which would allow
us the flexibility of keeping an adequate fund balance and realize the benefit of a net
borrowing cost of $979 on the purchase of a long-term fixed asset relative to the
payment schedule of the financing.

Consider approving a three-year contract for long term disability insurance

Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Karen Satterly, Employee Benefits Coordinator
MEETING DATE: September 21, 1999
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 14, 1999
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consideration of a three year contract for Long Term
Disability insurance.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends that the long term disability contract be awarded to the current carrier,
Prudential Insurance Company of America for three years effective January 1, 2000. Prudential will
provide the same level of long term disability benefits that are currently in effept and the long term
disability benefit cost will remain the same for the employees.
BACKGROUND
The City received proposals from three insurance companies for Long Term Disability insurance on
August 9, 1999. The companies that submitted proposals were Hartford Life, Prudential Insurance
Company of America, and Group Life & Health Insurance Company (Blue Cross Blue Shield).
Another proposal was submitted by Standard Insurance Company, however, the rates were
inadvertently omitted from the proposal. A copy of the proposal comparison is attached.
Long term disability is offered to Police and Civilian employees only with approximately 580 or 51%
of the eligible employees participating. This benefit will provide the employee with up to 60% of his
or her salary when disabled for a period in excess of 90 days.
The apparent low bidder was Hartford Life, however, the proposal did not meet the total benefits
specifications. Tfie nextlowest bidder wTucli nietiNd City s specificationswas-Pruddential: Pradetiti
offers an enhanced program which includes worksite modification, a child care program, etc. in an
effort to get the employee back to work.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
• Long term disability insurance is an optional benefit offered to Police and Civilian employees. There
is no monetary impact to the City because premiums are withheld from participating employees'
paychecks to pay for the long term disability insurance coverage. To date (8/99), the employees
have paid premiums of$71,174.

FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Glenda E. Lundy, Human Resources Director
MEETING DATE: September 21, 1999
AGENDA.MEMO DATE: September 15, 1999
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consideration of the handling of third party workers'
compensation claims.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends that City Council provide the City Manager or his designee with the
authority to initiate lawsuits and settle third party workers' compensation claim. All third party
workers' compensation claims presented for lawsuits and settlement must be reviewed and
approved by the City Attorney's office.
BACKGROUND
Recovering funds from vehicular accidents or injuries involving third party workers' compensation
claims has been an issue for the City's administration over the last ten years. Seventeen workers'
compensation claims have remained open with the oldest claim dating back to 1993. Total amount
paid as a result of these claims is approximately $537,000. To date, $77,700 has been recovered
and staff is anticipating receipt of $25,000 in the next couple of weeks, thus reducing the open
claims to fifteen(see attachment). In many cases, the City will not recover the total amount spent
due.to.settement negotiations.and/or,policy.limits. However, the monies that are recovered will
be returned to the workers' compensation line item providing a more favorable experience. Staff
,...'is:. ressive attempting- to-recover :atAeast..two�thirds: or -the lic ..limits; whichevat.
�g }y. mp �' � Y
appropriate, of the monies spent on such claims.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
The recovery of monies spent during prior years will reduce the City's liability and/or loss ratio.
All monies received will be considered as revenue unless monies are received in the same year as
the injury or accident.
PREVIOUS ACTION
Council provided approval for administration to settle two third party workers' compensation
claims in the amounts of $77,700 and $25,000 by Resolution Numbers 99-207 and 99-183
respectively. One of the claims involved medical malpractice while the other was a vehicular
accident.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION

AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 9, 1999
REQUESTED ACTION: Consider Change Order No. 1 for the Ector Street Ditch Crossing of
US 69, 96, 287.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of Change Order No. 1 in the amount of$75,735 for the Ector
Street Ditch Crossing Project. This amount represents the City's one-third cost of the total change
order.
BACKGROUND
The City of Beaumont, in July 1997, executed an agreement with the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) and Drainage District No. 6 (DD#6) for drainage improvements to the
Ector Street Ditch. The entities would participate on a one-third basis for the installation of
additional drainage boxes under US 69, 96, 287. TxDOT awarded the contract in February 1999 to
the low bidder at a cost of$1,203,163.39. For some unknown reason, the estimated quantity for
temporary special shoring was reduced after the estimated quanties were submitted to TxDOT for
bidding purposes. This item was reduced from 420 square meters to 245 square meters. The
proposed change order is to increase the amount of temporary special shoring to the actual quantity
used on the project.
