111E:QUESTED ACTION: Council consider resolution authorizing the City Attorney to
intervene in the name of the City of Beaumont in the lawsuit
styled City of Nederland vs. Entergy-Gulf States Inc et al
RI:COIIUVIENDATION
Administration recommends authorizing the City Attorney to intervene in the name of the City of
Beaumont in the lawsuit styled City of Nederland vs. Entergy-Gulf States Inc et al.
BACKGROUND
At an executive session held on August 8,2006,we discussed with the Council the possibility of the
City of Beaumont separating from the class of municipalities designated in the lawsuit City of
Nederland vs. Entergy-Gulf States Inc et al and pursuing its own interests in the name of the City
of Beaumont. This suit was filed in 1998 as a class action with the City of Nederland representing
the interests of some sixty(60)cities,towns,and villages against Entergy-Gulf States,Inc. The basis
of the suit is whether Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., has properly made payment to the various cities in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the electric franchise agreements. The agreements
provide for a percentage of gross receipts to be paid to the cities in compensation for the use and
occupancy of its public rights-of-way. There is evidence that the company has not used its total gross
receipts in the calculation of the franchise payments, thereby resulting in an underpayment to the
cities.
We are hereby requesting authority to intervene in the above-referenced lawsuit in the name of the
Cit,�of Beaumont, independent of the class designated in the lawsuit.
RESOLUTION NO.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BEAUMONT:
THAT the City Attorney, or his designee, is hereby authorized to intervene in the name of
the City of Beaumont in the lawsuit styled City of Nederland vs Entergy-Gulf States Inc
et al, Cause No. E-159,725,thereby separating from the class of municipalities designated
in said lawsuit.
PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 30th day of

MEETING DATE: January 30, 2007
AGENDA MEMO DATE: January 23, 2007
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider the purchase of two (2) passenger vans for
the Best Years Center.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends the purchase of two (2) 2007 Ford Club Wagon 15-passenger vans
from Philpott Motors in the amount of$43,812 for the Best Years Center of the Parks and Recreation
Department. The purchase will be made through the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB)
Buyboard cooperative purchasing program. The Texas Local Government Purchasing Cooperative,
administered by TASB,complies with all state bidding statutes. Membership with Buyboard allows
municipalities to purchase items from their contracted vendors. The total cost of$43,812 includes
a Buyboard administrative fee of$400.
BACKGROUND
The Best Years Center(BYC) functions as a multipurpose center for seniors providing congregate
meals, education, and training. Additionally, the BYC provides transportation to and from the
center to individuals in need of this service and provides transportation for senior day trips to
Galveston and Houston throughout the year.
The new vans will replace two (2) passenger vans, a 1993 Chevrolet G30 12-passenger van and a
1994 Dodge B35015-passenger van,currently being used by the BYC,because they are beyond their
useful lives. The vans being replaced will be disposed of according to the City's surplus property
policy. The new vans are expected to be delivered within 120 days.
BUDGETARYIMPACT
The City of Beaumont Best Years Center is a sub-recipient of the Social Services Block Grant for
Emergency Disaster Relief Funds for Hurricane Rita and Katrina through the South East Texas
Regional Planning Commission. Funds for this expenditure in the amount of$43,812 will be
provided by this grant. The grant requires no matching funds.

BACKGROUND
Mark W.Whiteley&Associates,Inc.is requesting a zone change from RS(Residential Single Family
Dwelling)District to GC-MD(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)District for a 41 acre
tract of land located on the east side of Major Drive, 276' south of Peveto.
Mr. Whiteley states that the purpose of the request is to allow for the development of health care
related facilities on the subject property,beginning with a full care nursing home and a future assisted
living center and other related medical and health care facilities. The property owner plans on
constructing a roadway with a 60' wide right-of-way through the subject property to provide for
future access. This roadway, as proposed,would provide for the development of the property with
a minimum number of curb cuts on Major Drive.
Along S.Major Drive,a number of rezonings to GC-MD have occurred over the years. The nearest
GC-MD zoning is a 1.65 acre tract southwest of the subject property.

a request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to GC-MD-2

RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval of a request for a zone change from GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)District to GC-MD-2(General Commercial-Multiple Family
Dwelling-2)District for the above locations.
BACKGROUND
In 2003,the City Council approved the rezoning of an 8 block area of the South Park Neighborhood
from RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) District to RCR(Residential
Conservation and Revitalization)District. This area encompassed the land bordered by East Virginia
to the north,Rolfe Christopher to the west, Cochran and Heisig to the east and Florida to the south.
This Phase 1 zoning change was made to implement a portion ofthe South Park Neighborhood Plan.
The Plan designates this area as a"Redevelopment Area." A redevelopment area would allow for
residential, some commercial and other uses that would compliment the existing neighborhood and
the university community.
0 Phase 2 of the implementation process is to now look at the GC-MD area that is surrounded by East
Virginia to the north,Rolfe Christopher to the west,Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway to the east and
Florida to the south.
The subject area consists of a variety of land uses with the majority of the land consisting of multi-
family,single family or vacant. Very little commercial exists. This area has deteriorated significantly
over the years. Many of the properties have become off-campus student housing. As Lamar
University continues to make great strides in improving its campus environment,there is an increasing
concern over what could be developed in the areas surrounding the university. To create an
environment that is conducive to the growth of the university,it is very important to control the type
of development that occurs.
GC-MD-2 zoning, along with the already existing RCR zoning,would provide the controls that are
needed. GC-MD-2 zoning would require a specific use permit for any new use that is proposed for
the study area.
At a Joint Public Hearing held January 22, 2007, the Planning Commission voted 7:0 to approve a
request for a zone change from GC-MD(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)District to
GC.-MD-2 (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District for property located in the

Consider approving change orders related to the renovation of the Julie Rogers Theatre
•u.,• City Council Agenda Item
■ ,
TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Tom Warner, Director of Public Works
MEETING DATE: January 30, 2007
AGENDA MEMO DATE: January 25, 2007
REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval of Change Orders for the Julie Rogers
Theatre renovation.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of Change Order Nos. 10-15 for repairs and renovations to the Julie Rogers Theatre in the
amount of$56,753.43 to Bruce's General Construction.
BACKGROUND
Although, the renovation of the Julie Rogers Theatre scheduled for completion in May 2007 is
progressing smoothly, there are additional changes that must be made to complete the renovation.
The following is a summary of the requested change orders:
Change Order No. 10-Includes material and labor to modify the auditorium floor to accommodate
a new seating layout. Seating layout had to be changed to meet current Building Codes. The layout
required a concrete extension in the wheelchair platform area. Electrical and communication lines
have to be relocated in this area. Additionally,a price was requested to paint both the auditorium and
balcony concrete floors, The new seating layout will require the filling of existing holes used to
anchor the previous seats and painted floors will conceal the repair work.
The cost of this change order is $24,73391. Of this amount, $5,356.10 will be submitted to the
City's insurance carrier for reimbursement. Although this work is not related to hurricane damage,
the City's insurance includes additional coverage for work performed to meet current building codes.
The seats were damaged by the hurricane but the new seating layout must be done to comply with
current codes, therefore, the insurance carrier will cover costs associated with code requirements.
Julie Rogers Theatre Renovations
January 25, 2007
Page 2
Change Order No. 11 - In the original construction project, the 2' floor concession area was
inadvertently omitted. Although the cabinets can still be utilized, the countertops were chipped and
the cabinet doors warped and broken. New laminate countertops and new cabinet doors will
compliment the 2'floor lobby area. The total cost of Change Order No. 11 is$5,092.50.
Change Order No. 12 - This change order consists of miscellaneous repairs in various rooms and
corridors. It includes painting, sheetrock repair, and wood trim replacement and repair. The total
cost of Change Order No. 12 is $9,284.10.
Change Order No. 13 - The original plans did not include any work to be done in the wheelchair
lobby entrance and the performer's dressing rooms. During the remediation all carpet was removed
from the performer's dressing rooms. New carpet will be installed in the performer's dressing rooms,
which include one on the 1'level and three on the 2'level.
The area outside the?floor elevator entrance was also carpeted. Heavy sound and stage equipment
on rollers is moved to the stage via the elevator. Previously,this area was carpeted but transporting
stage equipment caused excessive wear. A more practical solution in lieu of carpet is a brick paved
floor similar to the southeast entrance lobby floor.
The southeast entrance is the only wheelchair accessible entrance to the building. Although the
storefront doors are in compliance with ADA regulations,an automatic door would provide a greater
degree of accommodation. Included in this project is the installation of an automatic door,new glass
and glazing of the sidelites and transom and electrical connections.
The total cost of Change Order No. 13 is $11,369.17.
Change Order Nos. 14 and 15 include remodeling the wall inset to mount ADA drinking fountains
and additional painting. In the original plans, there was no modification for drinking fountains
specified. After construction began it was discovered that the drinking fountains specified would not
meet ADA regulations as designed. Another style was selected but it required wall modifications.
Additionally, no work was included in the original contract for painting the Rose Room or Chorus
Dressing Rooms. In order to reduce costs,the dressing room's laminated cabinets were retained and
the color selected for the walls had to be changed. Both change orders total $6,273.75.
Change Orders to date total $280,291.60 or 15% of the original contract amount.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Funding will be provided by the City's insurance carrier and the Capital Program.

RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, on August 15, 2006, the City Council of the City of Beaumont, Texas,
passed Resolution No. 06-229 awarding a contract in the amount of$1,845,000 to Bruce's
General Construction, Inc., Beaumont, Texas, to furnish all labor, materials, supplies and
equipment to renovate the interior of the Julie Rogers Theatre; and,
WHEREAS, Change Order No. 1 was executed on November 2, 2006 for plumbing
repairs in the amount of$5,331.75 thereby increasing the contract to $1,850,331.75; and,
WHEREAS,the City Council of the City of Beaumont,Texas, passed Resolution No.
06-366 on December 5, 2006 approving Change Order No. 2 in the amount of$65,380.01
increasing the contract amountto$1,915,712.76 forthe installation of a concrete ramp and
handrails in auditorium entrances, additional plaster repair in the auditorium ceiling and
installation of rubber flooring in concession areas and elevator; and,
WHEREAS, Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $9,979.20 executed on
December 12, 2006 for additional paint prep work on auditorium ceiling beams due to
water damage; and,
WHEREAS, Change orders No. 4, 5 and 6 were required as shown below:
Change Order No.4 submitted December 12, 2006 in an amount of$17,139.07
includes:
1) Installation of new ceiling grids and ceiling tiles in foyers and stairways, control
room, 2nd floor concession area, and 1 St floor meeting room. These areas were
omitted in the original plans and specifications. After construction began and these
areas were opened, damaged ceiling tiles and rusted grids were discovered.
2) Installation of drywall in restrooms to accommodate raised floor. Drywall had to be
raised to accommodate raised floor in restrooms.
3) Add an overlay of sheetrock to paneled rooms previously scheduled for repainting
in the 2nd floor offices. The existing paneled walls were scheduled to be painted but
upon closer inspection, damage to the 30 year old paneling was noted, thus the
decision was made to overlay the paneling with sheetrock.
4) Furnish and install acoustical ceilings in 2"d floor north and south corridors. The
original plans called for recessed lighting with plaster ceilings. Since these are
office and dressing room corridors that will not be open to the public, it was decided
to lower the ceiling and install acoustical tiles.
5 Replacement of rusted metal studs found in restroom walls janitor closets and other
P .J
interior room walls. The studs were rusted from water leaks not known until existing
I
walls were removed.
Change Order No. 5 submitted December 13, 2006 in an amount of $38,396.45
includes:
1) Leveling of restroom floors.After demolition of existing restrooms, itwas discovered
that the floors were not level due to the settling of the foundation on the north and
south sides of the building. The floors need to be raised 2 '/2 to 3 '/2 inches to
accommodate the installation of new restroom facilities and flooring. After
consulting with a structural engineer, it was determined that the floors could be
leveled by using concrete and a leveling compound. In addition, all plumbing stub
outs and drains must be raised to accommodate the new floor.
2) Additional stencil work by Conrad Schmitt in the west auditorium entrances. Conrad
Schmitt's original bid included lobby and hallway stencils. It was decided to
continue the same pattern in auditorium vestibules. The cost for this additional
artistic stenciling is $2,278.50.
3) Plumbing repairs. These include replacing air conditioning drains, storm drains and
miscellaneous plumbing repairs.
Change Order No. 6 submitted December 21, 2006 in an amount of $71,896.82
includes:
1) New and revised lighting. The original specifications for lighting were based on a
decorating scheme designed by LaBiche Architectural Group. The award of the
construction bid included an alternate bid item using the artistic design work by
Conrad Schmitt Studios for painting the lobby walls, auditorium and corridors. The
design scheme includes beautiful floral patterns in soft pastels, stenciled and hand
painted on wall panels and hand-painted ceiling murals. The lighting fixtures
originally specified are not appropriate for the new design concept. Included in this
change order are new chandeliers for the north and south lobbies. The contractor
allowed $10,715 in his bid for cleaning and repairing the existing chandeliers. New
chandeliers were selected after it was discovered that the existing chandeliers had
damage beyond repair. The price forthe four chandeliers including four mechanical
lowering devices, new wiring and wall controls, and installation is $55,060. In
addition, new chandeliers not scheduled for replacement in the original bid were
selected for the Green Room, the Ticket Lobby and corridors. Most of the cost was
offset by the deletion of numerous fixtures originally specified that did not
compliment the architectural integrity of the building.
Change Order No.'s 4, 5 and 6 in the total amount of $127,432.29 increased the
contract amount to $2,053,123.25; and,
WHEREAS, Change Order No.'s 7, 8 and 9 were required as shown below:
