RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends payment in the amount of $29,907.14 to Wes Lochridge and Asssociates of Dallas, Texas for emergency roofing repairs provided at the Julie Rogers Theater. BACKGROUND The Julie Rogers Theater sustained significant water intrusion throughout the structure during Hurricane Rita, due to extensive damage to the roof system. The repairs provided by Wes Lochridge and Associates were temporary in nature, and were a stopgap measure to halt further water damage until a replacement roof system could be appropriately designed and installed. The new roof system is currently out for bid. The work was performed between December 22, 2005 and January 5, 2006 upon the recommendation of the City's insurance carrier. At the time, the extent of damage was unknown and payments to contractors could not be authorized until final settlements were processed by the City's insurance carrier. Remuneration by the insurance carrier has been made to the City, therefore, the City is responsible for compensating the contractor. BUDGETARY IMPACT Due to the nature of the damage, the expenditure will be funded by insurance settlement. e PREVIOUS ACTION None.

BACKGROUND The Board ofDirectors for the Jefferson Theatre Preservation Society has requested that the City of Beaumont consider taking over the operation and management duties of the Theatre. The Theatre was fully restored nearly three years ago with the cost of the renovation totalling approximately$6 million, $2 million of which came from Section 108 funds which are being repaid by the City of Beaumont over a 20-year period using Community Development Block Grant funds. The Jefferson Theatre is owned by a limited partnership which acts as the Landlord for the building. The Preservation Society is the tenant who currently operates the Theatre. Due to tax credits used as a part of the renovation effort, the ownership of the Theatre cannot change for a period of 66 months commencing from the time the renovation was complete in November of 2003. Therefore, the ownership of the Theatre would remain as is until June 2009. The attached agreement is for a one-year period with an option to renew and would commence immediately if approved by the Council. Once the tax credit period expires,the Limited Partnership would grant the City the right of first refusal to purchase the Theatre for one dollar. The City's Convention Facilities Division currently manages the activities of the Civic Center, Julie Rogers Theatre, Harvest Club, Fair Park Coliseum and Riverfront Park. The City has box office, technical and maintenance staff on the payroll as well as equipment used to stage a production. The City would also help preserve the historic Theatre while ensuring that the $2 Million City investment is carried out as intended. BUDGETARY IMPACT The budget for the Convention Facilities Division is$860,000 for FY 2006. The net cost for the City to assume operations and maintenance of the Jefferson Theatre is estimated to be an additional $100,000 per year. It should be noted that any emergency maintenance repairs which may occur,and are not budgeted for,will be the responsibility ofthe City. The City does not anticipate assuming any debt or outstanding bills. The Purchasing Division believes the Theatre can be insured as a part of the City's insurance policy with a minimal cost.

We raised$6 million dollars, two million of which came from federal dollars provided by the City of Beaumont, and almost three years ago the fully restored theatre was reopened for public enjoyment.

BACKGROUND On April 10,2006,the Historic Commission denied a request for a certificate of appropriateness that would allow a metal carport at 2501 Hazel. Yvonne Sharpton had a nonconforming metal carport/storage room constructed without a certificate of appropriateness or a building permit. The carport actually extends into the street right-of-way. The carport is located where a lawfully nonconforming beauty shop and lean-to carport originally sat. The beauty shop and carport were destroyed during Hurricane Rita. Sec. 30-21.2 of the Zoning Ordinance states that accessory buildings must be compatible with the scale, shape,roof form,materials,detailing and color ofthe main building. Accessory buildings must have pitched roofs. Prefabricated metal accessory buildings are permitted in a rear or side yard if they are completely screened from view from any abutting street. The Zoning Ordinance states that in an historic district,a lawful nonconforming building or structure destroyed by an act of God may be rebuilt at the same location as long as the building does not increase whatsoever the degree of nonconformity. However, it is the determination of the Planning Manager that the degree of nonconformity has increased and therefore must receive approval by the Historic Landmark Commission or, upon appeal, by City Council. BUDGETARY IMPACT None. PREVIOUS AC'T'ION At a regular meeting held April 10, 2006, the Historic Landmark Commission voted 9:0 to deny the carport. SUBSEQUENT ACTION None.

Box 3827 Beaumont, TX 77704-3827 I am asking permission to allow me keep the structure in question that is located at the corner of Ninth-and Hazel Streets, at 2501 Hazel Street. This structure was built on the space and was not pre-fabricated. This carport faces Ninth Street. I propose to pull the structure back-off the city easement and to paint it as close to the house color as possible. The structure is 12x26 and built- of the.same materials as the previous structures. The driveway is of crushed limestone rock which was used by the city for their repairs: I 1975, in keeping,with zoning requirements at that time, a beauty shop and carport were built on this space and they'were of the same materials as this new structure. Hurricane Rita.destroyed the building, and due to Historical District codes,I am unable to rebuild this shop. Therefore, I have lost.-my primary means,of livelihood. As.a result, my means are,very limited. I have already spent$2,400 on the carport. The beauty shop was uninsured and I r have suffered a very significant loss. I am a widow and, due to my health; have only been"able to work three days,a week. Other repairs need to be made, and as you know, it has been very difficult to find workers since the hurricane. request that you accept this proposal and'grant'an additional four months for completion. I believe that it will take this amount of time to have the permit approved and find cost-effective, competent workers. I agree with the Oaks Historical District's goals of keeping the area neat, clean, and appropriate in appearance. However, with these,efforts, we need to be reminded to be considerate of the people who have made this area their home for many years. Also, in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita, an extra degree of consideration is needed.

BACKGROUND On April 10,2006,the Historic Commission denied a request for a certificate of appropriateness that would allow the colors that Conni Rogers painted her house. The main body of the house and the trim were painted two shades of blue. No certificate of appropriateness was applied for or approved prior to painting the house. Sec. 30-21.2 of the Zoning Ordiance states that property owners shall use a dominant color that complies with the officially adopted Acceptable Color Range. Any dominant color that is not within the officially adopted Acceptable Color Range must be reviewed and approved by the Historic Landmark Commission based upon their appropriateness to and compatibility with the structure, blockface and the historic district. Ms.Rogers states that she had the two shades of blue in mind for well over a year and was not aware that the colors were inappropriate with the Historic District guidelines. She says that she is financially unable to repaint the house. BUDGETARY IMPACT None. PREVIOUS ACTION At a regular meeting held April 10, 2006, the Historic Landmark Commission voted 8:0:1 to deny the paint colors. SUBSEQUENT ACTION None. RECOMMENDED BY Historic Landmark Commission, City Manager, Public Works Director and the Planning Manager. 4/18/2006 To City Council: RE: CA-1164 My name is Conni Rogers. In April 2Q02 I was blessed to become the privileged property owner of 2270 Hazel,Bmt, Tx. I was delighted. The house was nearly new,built in 1§98, was at a reasonable price, and was in a great neighborhood. In February of 2006, I had my house painted. I was totally unaware of needing to obtain pre-approval or to what I've since learned is called a"Certificate of Appropriateness". There is no mention of any rules due to living in the .Oaks Historic District in any of my house papers nor has anyone ever mentioned anything. I do not wish to make trouble or create any problems,however I must appeal your denial and ask for your reconsideration. I am the sole provider for the household. My roommate is disabled. I work as a waitress at Waffle House. My total gross income for last year was $4,162 (not including change). When I bought this house I knew right away I wanted to paint it someday. I have been saving all my change (pennies,nickels, dimes, and quarters) from waitressing for 4 years to pay to have my house painted. I cannot tell you how many trips I have made with my mayonnaise jar full of coins to the coinstar at Kroger's. I had two major surgeries in the summer of 2005 which I still owe thousands for. I am on food stamps and struggling to make ends meet. I chose the colors I did because I felt it would compliment my beautiful green lawn. I have had the two shade blue idea in my minds eye for well over a year not knowing it was inappropriate because of the Oaks Historic rules. I even planted flowers(which have unfortunately since been claimed by Hurricane Rita)and purchased blue solar lights to correlate with a blue house. I have had many compliments on the house since it has been painted. Including neighbors, friends, strangers, and ironically,the postman who delivered the first letter from you. I take great pride in my house and its appearance. My yard is always very well kept and maintained. When I painted the house the colors I did, I'was trying to improve the look of my property as well as the neighborhood. I am financially unable to repaint my house. I have heard only positive remarks about the colors I chose. I would be very grateful for your compassionate reassessment on the denial of my paint color.

RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends awarding a bid for a three (3) year fuel management contract to various vendors as reflected in the attached bid tabulation. BACKGROUND G OUND The bid separates the fuel management system into three (3) elements: • Section I requires the vendor to provide fuel and fuel cards(with associated accounting and reporting responsibilities on the part of the vendor)for use by City employees at the City's automated fueling locations and at vendor-supplied retail locations throughout the City. • Section II is the provision of bulk fuel to the City's non-automated fueling locations: Water Utilities, Water Reclamation, Loeb Water Well, Fire Stations 1, 4, and 10, and the Fire Training Grounds. • Section III is for fuel delivery to the City during periods of declared emergency. The City's fleet fueling system consists of two (2) major fuel dispensing centers located on Lafin (30,000 gallon capacity) and Concord (20,000 gallon) Roads. These automated dispensing centers provide drivers of City vehicles and equipment with gasoline and diesel fuel. A fuel card is issued to each vehicle and each employee authorized to drive a vehicle is given a secure Personal Identification Number (PIN) for access to the system. A cardreader at the sites electronically retrieves information, such as the employee's name, vehicle unit number, fuel type, fuel quantity, mileage or hours, gallons dispensed and transaction date and time when fuel is dispensed. This information is collected electronically from both sites and uploaded to the fleet Annual Contract for Fuel Management May 10, 2006 Page 2 system software providing fuel and usage history for each vehicle or equipment unit. A tank monitoring system at each site also retrieves data related to the maintenance of the fuel inventory for upload to the fleet software. Bid specifications request a vendor to provide fuel cards, fuel to the City's automated sites, and access to off-site retail fueling locations, while providing the City with detailed transaction information as described above. The awarded vendor shall be responsible for performing and reporting inventory control tests as required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The vendor will be compensated for fuel provided as it is dispensed to City vehicles, following submission of the required usage reports and invoice. The estimated annual fuel usage for this section of the contract is 180,000 gallons of gasoline, and 245,000 gallons of diesel. The expenditure for Section I for the prior contract year was approximately $1,555,000. The bid received from Fleetcor Technologies for Section I is $0.129 per gallon above the published Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) weekly average price for markets in the south central section of the United States. Fleetcor held the previous fuel contract for automated sites at a cost of$0.0575 above OPIS. That pricing had held firm for a five (5)year period, and rising transportation and distribution costs in recent years necessitated a significant price increase over the previous contract for the vendor to keep pace. Section II of the contract requests a vendor to provide bulk fuel delivery to the City's non- automated(no cardreading devices or employee ID system) fueling sites as described above. The estimated annual usage at the non-automated sites is 12,000 gallons of gasoline, and 90,000 gallons of diesel. The vendor is compensated for the fuel delivered after the fuel is off-loaded into City tanks. The fuel is dispensed at the City locations by appropriate division personnel for use in City vehicles. The only bid received for this section of the bid was from Tri-Con, at $0.086 per gallon above the OPIS weekly average for gasoline and diesel tankwagon delivery, and $0.0272 above OPIS for diesel transport delivery. The expenditure for Section II for the prior contract year was approximately$230,000. Tri-Con has successfully held the contract previously. Section III of the contract provides for fuel delivery to City tanks during periods of declared emergency. Three (3) vendors have provided bid pricing as described in the attached tabulation. The vendors are from Beaumont, Houston, and Broussard, Louisiana, which will provide the City with fuel delivery resources from east and west of Beaumont. This should serve to protect the City's capability to obtain fuel in the event of a weather emergency. The City will issue a letter of intent to each of the bid respondents for emergency fuel delivery indicating the bidder's stated pricing, and reiterating the City's intent to purchase fuel at said pricing during periods of emergency (subject to each vendor's capacity to deliver). The City shall have discretion to utilize the fuel vendor it deems most advantageous during an emergency, and shall not be restricted to purchasing from any of the three (3) respondents.

RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends renewing the contract with Beaumont Wings, Inc. (BWI) for ten (10)years as the Fixed Base Operator(FBO) at the Beaumont Municipal Airport. BACKGROUND On January 25, 2000, City Council approved the sale of BWI and assignment of the existing FBO contract to Gary Giarraputo. The previous owner,whose participation began in 1991, asked to be released from his obligations due to health problems. The current contract expires March 31, 2007. Mr. Giarraputo is requesting that the agreement be renewed under the same terms and conditions for a period of ten (10) years, with an option for an additional five (5)years, subject to mutual agreement at that time. Beaumont Wings has six (6) full-time employees, including three (3) licensed aircraft mechanics who provide maintenance and repair services at an on-site shop. This shop was built by Mr. Giarraputo on airport property and is under lease with the City of Beaumont until 2031. The company,run by owners Gary and Barbara Giarraputo,has established a good working relationship with the aviation community. BWI has sufficient aircraft and refueling equipment to continue to successfully serve the needs of the community. The renewal of this contact will allow the FBO to revise his business plan and seek the financing needed for an additional airplane to be used to provide flying lessons and a refueling truck. Renew FBO Contract/Beaumont Wings. Inc. May 11, 2006 Page 2 Since his affiliation with the City,the staff has been very satisfied with Mr.Giarraputo's dedication, performance and cooperation. Mr. Giarraputo is optimistic about the potential that exists at the airport and wants to continue to build his business. He has assisted the City on various projects and is participating in the Airport Development Plan which is currently underway. BUDGETARY IMPACT None. PREVIOUS ACTION None. SUBSEQUENT ACTION None.

RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends participation in a two (2)year contract with Cingular Wireless for the purchase of wireless data access services at the rate of$49.59 per month per mobile computer plus an activation fee of$2,995 through the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program, TEX-AN 2000. BACKGROUND The City's recent public safety communications system upgrade included the purchase of approximately 146 mobile computers installed in Police, Fire, and EMS vehicles. Each mobile computer requires an air card and wireless high speed data access services in order to function within the wireless communication system. TEX-AN 2000 contracts provide all Texas Building and Procurement Commission Cooperative Purchasing Program participants with access to competitively bid telecommunication services including wireless high speed data access services.Cingular Wireless is an authorized TEX-AN 2000 contractor offering data access services and equipment. A two(2)year contract with Cingular Wireless includes an air card for each mobile computer at no charge to the City. This results in a cost savings of approximately$7,300 by eliminating the need to purchase 146 air cards at $49.99 each. The contracted monthly rate for the data access service is $49.59 per mobile computer.The total estimated annual cost ofproviding data access service for 146 mobile computers is approximately$86,882. A one-time activation fee of$2,995 is also required.

The Program is adopted with the annual operating budget and allows for project evaluation at a comprehensive level and also provides the financial information necessary to plan and anticipate potential changes to the tax structure, user fees, and bonded indebtedness. Generally, a capital improvement has the following characteristics: relatively high monetary value (at least $50,000), long life (will last at least 10 years), and results in either the creation of a fixed asset, or the revitalization of one. Fixed assets are resources owned by the City which have monetary value, long-term character and will be held or used. Examples are land,buildings,and improvements to land otherthan buildings. Included within the above definition are the following specific items: purchase, improvement and development of land; construction of newfacilities for the delivery of City services; remodeling of existing facilities; and the planning/engineering costs related to speck improvements of the type listed above. The Capital Program includes a listing of all Public Works, General Improvements and Water and Sewer improvement projects along with project descriptions and cost estimates. Public Works includes street and storm water drainage projects; General Improvements include general government municipal buildings and facility improvements. Water and Sewer includes all projects related to water and sewer infrastructure. Approved projects are classified in two phases: design or construction and planned. A project classed in the design or construction phase is under design and rights-of-way may be acquired or is underway or will be within the recommended time schedule. Projects classified as planned are projects in the preliminary development or design stage. Financing for the Capital Program is provided by the "cash flow" approach, whereby debt is issued to generate enough cash to pay the expenditures anticipated during the year for both existing and new projects. This approach provides the most efficient use of citizens' dollars by allowing multi-year projects to be initiated without issuing debt for the full cost of the projects at the time of project commencement. All available funding sources are considered including Certificates of Obligation and Community Development Block Grant funds. ■ Based on a "cash flow" approach, the City issues Certificates of Obligation (CO's) on an as needed basis, to provide sufficient cash flow for active Public Works and General Improvement projects. Weather, planning, design and construction costs all factor into the decision of when and how much debt to issue. Utilities Department has taken an aggressive approach to identify and implement The Water U p 99 PP fy necessary improvements to the water and sewer systems. In many instances, these renovations are required to meet federal and state mandates as well as meet the needs of the City's growth. Funding for Water and Sewer projects is determined similar to the Public Works and General Improvement projects in that it uses the cash flow approach; however, Water Revenue Bonds are issued rather than tax supported Certificates of Obligation. This type of bond is serviced utilizing revenues from water and sewer usage. The Capital Program includes projects to enhance the quality of life the City of Beaumont strives to achieve for its residents. This plan represents our best effort to allocate available resources toward projects that provide the most benefit for the citizens of Beaumont. The City Council will annually review and approve updates to this plan, and projects may be revised during this process.
