Council Letter 76
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Hotel-Motel Room Occupancy Tax Increase
The recently-concluded session of the Texas Legislature passed and has ap-
proved HB 1836 which has granted to Municipalities the authority to increase
the occupancy tax from 4% to 7%, effective September 1, 1983. This tax can
be used for a wide range of convention and tourist-related activities, as
well as support for local art-related functions.
The fiscal year 84 City budget now before you has anticipated this increase,
which will be used for support of Convention and Visitors Bureau activities,
funding for the Arts and for operation and maintenance of the City's Civic
Center Complex. Passage of the 7% tax will enable us to operate these
functions outside of the General fund of the City which is, at this time,
a crucial consideration. We estimate that this tax will yield some $950,000
in 1984 at the 7% level or $600,000 at the 4% level . The increase in the
tax will provide only 10 months of actual income to the City in the next
fiscal year due to the payments being made on a quarterly basis after the
end of the quarter. The additional 3% collection rate will yield $35,000
per month in additional revenue which is the reason the Council is being
requested to consider this ordinance before the completion of budget dis-
cussions.
It is our recommendation that the ordinance be approved.

On May 16, 1983, the City and the International Association of Firefighters,

Subject: Addition to Fair Park
At last Tuesday's work session, plans were discussed for a 3.636-acre expan-
sion of Fair Park to provide for a new entrance from Concord Road, to improve
the traffic flow, and create additional space for parking storage. The YMBL
is currently negotiating for the purchase of 1.536 acres of land fronting
on Concord Road north of the Central Garage property and west of the park.
Another 2.1 acres between this property and Fair Park is owned by the City
and is currently being used as a maintenance and storage yard for the garage.
It would be converted to park use upon relocation of the garage to the new
service center on Lafin Drive. A resolution being prepared for consideration
Tuesday would dedicate this property for park purposes, effective at that
time.
It is recommended that the resolution be approved.

Subject: Purchase of Emulsified Asphalt
This resolution would authorize the purchase of approximately 8,000 gallons
of emulsified asphalt from Texas Emulsions, Inc. , of Port Arthur at 90 cents
a gallon, for a total cost of $7,200.
Emulsified asphalt is used in recycling asphalt base material for reuse after
it has been removed from streets.
The Texas Emulsions bid was the only bid received, although notices of the
letting were sent to six companies. Texas Emulsions is believed to be the
only firm in this area which sells emulsified asphalt.

Council Letter 77
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Purchase of Tractor-Loader
A wheel tractor-loader purchased on July 19 for the Water Reclamation Plant
was found, upon delivery, not to meet the specifications, requiring a heavy
duty solid front axle. The supplier, Universal Tractor and Equipment Co. ,
is unable to furnish a solid-axle tractor. The company's offer to weld the
adjustable axle on the model offered would not meet the requirements.
It is therefore recommended that the tractor-loader be purchased on a bid
from Hyco Equipment Co. , which is the apparent third low bid, but in fact
the lowest bid meeting the specifications. Hyco has been contacted and has
confirmed the bid, and promised delivery in 30 days.
The bids, which were received on June 22nd, are as follows:
Hyco Equipment Company, Beaumont $14,619.00
Universal Tractor, Beaumont 13,791.00
International Harvester, Beaumont 13,349.00
Oil City Tractor, Beaumont 15,774.00
Equipment Headquarters, Beaumont 15,950.00
The cost, based on this bid, would be $14,619, or $828 more than the Univer-
sal bid. The matter has been referred to the City Attorney for a determina-
tion of what recourse-the City may have to recover the difference from Uni-
versal .
The tractor will be used in the removal of sludge from the plant's dewatering
unit, an industrial type application requiring a heavy duty solid axle.
It is recommended that the purchase be authorized based on the bid of Hyco
Equipment Co.

WHEREAS, on July 19 , 1983 a bid was awarded to Universal
Tractor and Equipment Company for one ( 1 ) wheel tractor with a front
loading utility loader; and,
WHEREAS, the tractor delivered by Universal Tractor and
Equipment Company did not meet specifications because it did not
have a heavy solid front axle; and,
WHEREAS, Hyco Equipment Company was the lowest bidder
meeting specifications in the amount of $14, 619 .00 for said
equipment;
NOW , THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT:
THAT the bid of Hyco Equipment Company in the amount of $ 14 ,619 .00
for the purchase of a wheel tractor with front loading utility
loader is hereby accepted by the City of Beaumont and the City
Manager is hereby authorized to pay for same upon acceptable
delivery .

Council Letter 79
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Realignment and Reorganization of City Departments
In the 1984 budget which has been presented to Council , there are several
changes in the organization structure of the City. I believe these changes
will allow us to deal more effectively and efficiently with the problems
which now confront the City. We have prepared amendments to the Code of
Ordinances which are summarized as follows:
1. The Department of Finance and Administration is now de-
signated as the Department of Finance and included within
that Department are the divisions of Accounting, Central
Collections, Data Processing, and Purchasing and Central
Stores-
2. A separate Department of Administration is created under
the City Manager or his designee. This Department has res-
ponsibility for Budget and Research, Building Maintenance
and Operations and the Personnel and Safety functions of the
city.
3. In the Health Department, language is provided which clarifies
that the Administrative head of the Department shall be the
Director. This change is necessary in order to accommodate
recent. changes in State law concerning the administration
of local and State-supported health agencies.
4. A change was also made in the Division of Environmental Con-
trol where we have added the responsibility of animal control
to this Division. This change merely reflects actual adminis-
trative practice.
5. In the Department of Community Facilities, language is added
• updating the areas of responsibility assumed by this Depart-
ment.
6. The landfill operation has been removed from the Department of
Solid Waste and transferred to the Department of Urban Trans-
portation. The nature of the landfill operation is more
Council Letter 79
August 25, 1983
Page 2
comparable with the activities in Urban Transportation than
Solid Waste in such areas as equipment operation and environ-
mental engineering. The departmental personnel in Urban
Transportation should be able to provide backup in these areas
to insure an efficient operation as we open a new landfill .
It is our feeling that these administrative changes are proper and necessary
both from a view of formalizing past practices with respect to administration
as well as clarifying recommended changes in various areas of City management.
It is recommended that the Code of Ordinance amendments be approved as sub-
mitted.

Subject: Firefighters Arbitration Expenses
We are requesting payment of $2,704.20 to Charles Kothe, the City's member
of the arbitration panel and $2,276.47 to Preston J. Moore, the neutral mem-
ber. Sixty-five thousand dollars was appropriated for estimated expenses in
this case. The payment of these two final bills will exceed the original es-
timate by $3,081.96. Exceeding the estimate resulted from an expansion of
the scope of services of Coopers and Lybrand to include an analysis and evi-
dence concerning pension benefits.
Approval is recommended.

Council Letter 78
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Utility Extension Policies
The City Council has received a request to extend utilities into an area
located outside the existing corporate limits of the City of Beaumont. This
request has pointed out that there are no existing policies governing this
type of situation. The City Council has requested staff to develop such
policies and to have them reviewed by the Planning Commission.
The proposed policies for governing the extension of municipal utilities into
the extra-territorial jurisdiction area of the City, as developed by the City
staff, have been recommended for adoption by the Joint City/Development Com-
mittee and the Planning Commission by a 5 to 0 vote on August 19th. In ad-
dition, the legislative committee chairman of the Homebuilders Association
has indicated general agreement with the policy recommendations. The pro-
posed policies would allow utilities to be extended to serve areas outside
the corporate limits if the following conditions have been met:
- The developer would agree to meet all City codes and ordinances
including zoning and building codes.
- The developer would agree to annexation if requested by the
city
- The developer would agree to a service contract for payment
in lieu of taxes.
- The development would be in accordance with the Comprehensive
Plan and would be compatible with surrounding development.
The Water Utilities Department has submitted for review by the City Council
amended Certificates of Convenience and Necessity for its facilities and
service areas in Jefferson County. Most of the new land to be included in
the service area is currently being served by City utilities. The major
area proposed to accommodate future growth outside the corporate limits is
"Area #5" located west of Major Drive and north of Calder, bounded on the
west by the LNVA Canal . This area is shown as a growth unit in the Land Use
Plan and future extension of utilities into the area would be in accordance
with the Comprehensive Plan.

sity as approved by the Public Utility Commission of
Texas. "

Council Letter 80
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Certificates of Convenience and Necessity
On March 1, 1976, the City of Beaumont filed applications with the Public
Utilities Commission for Certificates of Convenience and Necessity for its
water utilities facilities and service areas in Jefferson County. The en-
closed map marked Exhibit "C" was included with the application. All of the
City as of March 1, 1976, as well as the areas shown in black color outside
the City limits were included in the service areas. Subsequently, Certifi-
cate No. 10998 for its water utility service and Certificate No. 20400 for
its sewer utility service were assigned to the City of Beaumont.
It is required under the Public Utility Commission regulations that we up-
date the Certificates periodically to reflect the service area which the City
serves or plans to serve in the near future.
Since the original filing, parts of Areas 2, 3 and part of 4, shown in
yellow color on Exhibit "D", have been annexed to the City with water and
sewer service being provided to these areas. Area #1, located west of Port
Arthur Road and south of Spindletop Avenue is also being provided service.
This area includes Texas Gulf Sulphur and a few small businesses and homes
which have been served since the early 1950's. Area #2 is located south of
Florida Avenue and east of the sewage treatment plant and consists of the
solid waste landfill site and other property to the east which is not in the
City presently. Area #3 is located south of Washington Boulevard, west of
the LNVA Canal and was annexed in June, 1983. It is presently being de-
veloped as a residential subdivision. Area #4, located along U.S. Highway 90,
west of Municipal Airport, part of which was annexed in 1982, is the site
of Betz Laboratory and Mobil . Area #5 is located west of Major Drive and
north of Calder, bounded on the west by the LNVA Canal , and on the north by
the City limit line. Different portions of the south section have been an-
nexed on two occasions since 1978 and development continues. Boys Haven,
located in the northeast corner of this area is served by both water and
sewer and is outside the City limits.
The original application for certificates in 1976 included some businesses
which we have industrial contracts with in our service area. Also, the
City provides water to three municipal utility districts - Cardinal Mea-
dows Water District, south of the City, Northwest Forest Municipal Water
District on Highway 105, four miles from the City and West Jefferson County
Utility District for emergency water needs only.
Council Letter 80
August 12, 1983
Pagd 2
An application to amend the existing water utility certificates along with
the necessary maps, documents, and notices has been prepared. Upon approval
for filing, notice will be mailed to those entities listed on Exhibit "B"
and proper notice will be published in the paper for a public hearing on
this issue.
It seemed appropriate to renew this application now in light of the utility
extension policy under consideration by the City Council presently.
