Members of City Council
.Subject: Release of-Securities .
The City's bank-deposits are in the process of.being transferred from Texas
Commerce Bank-Beaumont to First City Bank under the new depository contract
which became effective October 1st. As the transfer continues, Texas Com-
merce is gradually reducing the collateral pledged against the deposits. The
bank has requested .that the City authorize-the withdrawal of another $5,240,000
in treasury notes. and various kinds of bonds, thereby reducing the collateral
to $9,985,000. City deposits in this bank will total less than $500,000 as of
November 1st.
It is recommended that the withdrawal be authorized.

Subject: Visual-Approach Slope Indicators (VASI) at Municipal 'Airport -
In August, 1979, Visual Approach Slope Indicator systems, (VASI-4), were in-
stalled on runways 12 and 30, at Beaumont Municipal Airport. The VASI-4 is
a visual landing aid for use under visual flight rules. It gives white and
red signals to provide the aircraft pilot with information to enable him to
follow the correct approach angle to the touchdown point on the runway.
A VASI-4 system is defined as including. four lamp housing assemblies, and one
power and control assembly. The four lamp housing assemblies in a particu-
lar system are identical and cannot be interchanged with different makes or
.models. The VASI systems at the airport were manufactured by Crouse-Hinds
Sepco Corporation. The lamp housing assemblies are No. 25950-A and each
assenwiy'arequares four No. 10037-108 frangible couplings to be inserted
between the mounting standards and the concrete foundation.
On September 12, 1983, the VASI system for runway 30 had one lamp housing
assembly destroyed by an aircraft that ran off the side of the runway while
la dliog. The'ep lot reported the incident, and stated he landed too fast,
and too far down the runway. A claim .has been filed with the pilot's in-
surance agent; .i n Austin, Texas.
A 'IASI can operate as a complete system only. The system has been turned
off and the Federal Aviation Administration has been requested to issue a
notice to airmen concerning the VASI system being out of service. It is
extremely important that a lamp housing assembly replacement be obtained so
pilots will have a visual reference while landing on runway 30. This is
most important for night operations.
Two bids were received for replacement of this unit. Crouse-Hinds Sepco
Corporation was the low bidder at $1,630.76. Nunn Electric bid $1,955.32.
It is recommended that the bid of Crouse-Hinds Sepco be accepted.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: -Franchise Agreements with REM Waste Control , Inc., Browning-Ferris
-Industries, Inc. and Waste Express, -Inc.
At its October 4, 1983 meeting, Council enacted an ordinance requiring all
companies that provide closed commercial container garbage collection service
to enter into a franchise agreement with the City of Beaumont. These franchise
agreements have been developed. and are now ready for Council approval . The
franchise agreements must be read at three separate regular meetings of City
Council . The final reading may not be less than 30 days f rom the first meeting.
Franchises will be effective 60 days after final passage.
These franchise agreements with REM Waste Control , Inc. , Browning=Ferris: In--
dustric , Inc. and Waste Express, Inc. are limited to the regular collection
of garbage from enclosed, mechanically-emptied dumpster type coptainers at
locations in the City. other than single-family residences. The City will ,
on a monthly basis, receive 5 percent of the companies ' gross revenues for the
term of the franchise agreement, which is five years. The companies ' rates
must E •,niform as to customer class and will be filed with the City Clerk.
In addi iu-n, the companies will be required to carry liability insurance and
will furnish a performance bond of $500,000. There is specific language in
the agreement --that addresses service and equipment standards as well as a
remedy provided for interruption of service.
Stuff feels :these franchise agreements are fair to the compainies and provide
.an adequate level of protection for.the consumer.
It is recommended that the franchise agreements be approved by City Council .

Subject:_ Transi t Reduced Fare-Days - - -
Reduced fare days -have been-used .as a promotion"and-ridership appreciation -
day for Beaumont Municipal -Transit for approximately -six-years. -Typically,
fares have been reduced to a nickel and transfers have been free. The re-
duced fare days are 'not specified in the City Code and .separate Council
action-for each reduced fare- day is currently necessary. It is recommended
that an ordinance be passed allowing the City Manager to set up to two re-
duced fare days each calendar year for the transit system. Such an ordinance
would eliminate the necessity of Council action on a case-by-case basis.
Reduced fare days in the past have generally been on the day after Thanks-
: giving, on the Friday before Easter, or near some other holiday or anniversary.
As part of the promotion, merchants are usually asked to assist in publicity.
The ridership on reduced fare days generally increases over normal levels by
approximately 200 percent to 300 percent. Revenues fall to approximately
30 percent to 40 percent of normal levels, resulting in--a-revenpe''genera ti on
drr!) for the day -in the range of $500 to .$700.
Should an ordinance be adopted, the next anticipated reduced fare day is -the
da_v after Thanksgiving, Friday, .November 25, 1983. -The proposed fare schedule
is a nickel for all rides, free transfers, and all monthly passes would still
be honored on the regular routes.
It is recommended,that- Council:.adopt-an--ordinance allowing the City Manager.'
to establish -up -to-two .reduced fare days each calendar year for the transit
system.

_Subject:_ _Gulf Pipeline-Agreement--
The new landfill -site `is crossed by -five Gulf Pipeline "Company pipelines and
one West 'Texas Gulf Pipeline Company pipeline. The lines are parallel to
each other in a group and across the site on a diagonal near the northeast
corner of the site. In order to fully utilize and operate the new landfill ,
it is necessary-to -cross -the pipelines at one location with an access road
and at two other -locations with drainage ditches.
The protective work required includes the installation of casing on one of
the pipelines, concrete pedestal supports on all the pipelines where they span
the ditches and a reinforced concrete slab over the pipelines at the road
crossing. The agreement with Gulf Pipeline Company specifies that Gulf will
be reimbursed for 100 percent of all actual costs related to the project. The
estimated cost of the project is $26,529.68. In the event that the cost ex-
ceeds this amount, the project will be audited by the City and the contract
will be renegotiated based on actual cost. This work is budgeted in the
Genera" Inrur'ovements Fund under the Sanitary Landfill program budget. The
total pruu•r-�m budget is $2.3 million. The cost of this facet of the work is
approximately $10,000 more than anticipated. Cost savings in other areas of
the prc _ct however, should more than cover the difference.
It is recommended that this resolution be adopted.

.Subject: Renewal -of Contract with the National Center for Municipal
Development ,
The City of Beaumont has, since November, 1980, executed a series of one-year
contracts with the National Center for Municipal Development to provide the
services of a Washington, D.C. assistant. This program, founded in 1965 as
the "Man in Washington Service", has provided the. City of Beaumont with a
wide range of services. These include advising City officials on organiza-
tional planning and .program activitiy which has a bearing .on the ability of
the 'City to make best use of federal aid programs; review of pending legisla-
tion, executive proposals, and administrative regulations; securing and fur-
nishing detailed information on federal programs in which the City indicates
an interest; maintaining liaison with the City's Congressional Delegation;
and maintaining contact with federal agencies on the City's behalf when City
applications are under consideration by said agencies.
The City's contract with the National Center for Municipal Development is up
for renewal , effective November 1st, The cost of this service is $31,484.75,
pI'a a maximum of $4,000 for reimbursable expenses. This compares to a cost
of $2%425 with the same maximum of $4,000 for reimbursable expenses in
Fiscal Year 1983. It is felt that this is money well spent in view of the
"fast tract" nature of much of the federal legislation currently coming out.
A good example of how well this service has worked for Beaumont occurred when
.the Jou!� Bill was -being considered this year -in Congress. We were able to
anticipate the application guidelines, procedures and pass through funding
mechanisms as a result of the regular update received from the National Cen-
ter for Municipal Development. As a consequence, the City was prepared to
move quickly to capture a portion of the funds made available. Money has
been provided in the Fiscal Year 1984 budget for this purpose.
It is recommended that this contract be renewed for the .current fiscal year.

puter equipment:

drivers for Municipal Court to permit several printers and
terminals (up to .eight) .to communicate with the main system
by a single telephone line.

for the rest of this fiscal year.
- Two 300-megabyte disk drives--and--a contr-bhl er Jor,one--of-
these computers - the second to be acquired by the City.
This equipment would provide the additional memory capacity
needed for storage of customer account records in the im-
plementation of the Water Utilities system.
Bids were received from five vendors on furnishing the two eight-channel
multiplexors and line drivers for Municipal Court. The City has been leasing
-this:,equipment-from Data Aids of.Spring, Texas .since April and would be al-
-lowed credit-for, part of.-the-rental -paid. ' Information Solutions of Houston
.submitted the apparent low bid -of-$6,000, Data Aids bid $6,020, including
$20 for shipping costs, but -the $1,050 rental credit would make its bid
lower at a net cost of $4,970. The Data Aids bid will be recommended for ac-
ceptance as the lowest received. The bids compared as follows:

The .$21,780 apparent low bid of Tristan Dynamics is not recommended because

Prime computers and because of difficulties experienced with this equipment
in other installations with.equipment similar-to the-City's. . A lawsuit pending

The Timesharing Services bid is recommended for acceptance as the lowest meet-
ing the specifications. This bid included a $3,480 add-on for cables and
miscellaneous, -which would increase the total from $33,200 to $36,680, but the
company agreed to a $400 reduction for cables not needed, to make the net cost
$315,280. The apparent low bid of Tristan Dynamics is on used equipment. The
specifications were written for new equipment.
These purchases, totaling $69,000 would include all the major equipment to be
acquired this fiscal year from the Information Systems capital outlay appro-
priation. The $20,000 remaining unobligated in this account would be used to
busy software and some additional terminals for user Departments.

Bids were received on'September 19th on furnishing limestone"basematerial.,
as ordered, over a one-year period. An estimated 5,000 tons of materials
would be required. The bids on supplying the material loaded on the City's
trucks -at -the vendor's plant are _as follows:

(Located IH-10 E. bank of Neches) 13.00 per ton

.Keown supply Company
(Located Highway 124 & Clubb East Dr.) 11.75 per ton
On vctuber 11th, the City Council accepted the bids of Troy Dodson Construction
Company at $12.27 a ton and Radcliff Materials at $13.00 a ton, with orders to
'be n1__ed with the plant closest to the job site on the south and •north sides
of rhP°City, respectively.
Troy Dodson Construction Company recently experienced difficulty in providing
limestone material for a project in the south part of the City. This resulted
in the City paying a higher price and .additional transportation charges during
this short period. In- order to provide a future alternative, it is recommended
that the Council approve a price of $12.13 per ton from Davidson Construction
Ccmipany. Depending on the supplier's availability of materials and the location
of the job site, we would purchase materials from the company that allows the
most favorable financial considerations. This award would be consistent with
the specifications and bid previously provided by Davidson Construction.
It is recommended that this resolution be adopted.

_Subject: Change Order No. 1, Drainage District No. 6 Cartwright/Corley
Drainage Relief Project
The Cartwright/Corley Drainage Project is part of a joint effort by the City
of Beaumont and Drainage District 6 to improve drainage in areas identified
as significant problems by the 1981 Kohler Drainage Study. The City's por-
tion of the work being done by the contractor, Baytown Construction, is
$997,840.
Part of the Cartwright/Corley Drainage Project provided for the relocation of
an existing 60" sanitary sewer which was in conflict with the proposed drain-
age ditch.
Connection of the new sewer line to the existing sewer was to be made at the
intersection of 11th Street and Delta Street. Excavation at the point of
connection revealed that Hydrogen Sulfide gas (sewer gas) had corroded over
half the concrete pipe away, leaving only the -lower half of the pipe for a
distance of 30 feet. It was determined that the most expedient and economi-
cal r -.air method would be to insert 40 feet of polyethylene pipe (Spirolite)
inside the existing 60" concrete line and cement grout the end connection
(Drawing No. 1) . This allowed the repair to be made while keeping the sewer
lair, ;-r service. This line serves approximately 40 percent of the City. For
this reason, the repair has already been made on an emergency basis.
This change.order covers the cost to- repair the damaged pipe as per the above-
described method:
Construct junction box with 60" diameter pipe stub out for future
replacement of the existing 60" concrete sewer:
Repair and construction of junction box
including pavement replacement +$24,279.80
Delete proposed specified junction box = 6,000.00
Increase +$18,279.80
The change order also covers the deletion of two junction boxes on the re-
located 36" sanitary sewer siphon being constructed beneath the 11th Street
drainage boxes. In place of the junction boxes, it was determined that pre-fab
offset connectors could be used with a cost savings (Drawing No. 2) :
Specified junction boxes, 2 @ $6,000 each -$12,000.00
Pre-fab offset connector, 2 @ $5,245 each + 10,490.00
Decrease -S 1,510.00

Subject: -Change Order'-No. 1, Contract 5,- Segment 66 Interceptor
Contract 5 of the Segment 66 Interceptor is a part of the- EPA Sanitary Sewer
Construction Program currently under construction by the City of Beaumont.
The purpose of Contract 5 is to replace the existing combination storm-sani-
tary sewer line from -the intersection of Sabine Pass and Harriot to the inter-
section of-Sabine Pass and Buford. - The work is being done by Saucier and Sons
Enterprises at a contract price of $1,089,740.50. This work includes instal-
ling a 36" sanitary-sewer parallel to the existing 36" combined storm-sanitary
sewer line for the purpose of separating the sanitary flow from the storm
flow. Part of the project involves transferring existing sanitary sewer lines
and house service lines from the existing combined sewer to the new sanitary
sewer. Bid item 23 is to pay for reconnecting the existing lines at an anti-
� gated depth range of 3 to 6 feet.
Unforeseen obstructions have necessitated installing approximately 1,000 feet
of 6" lateral line at increased depths.
IL is recommended that bid item 29, which provides for installation of 6"
lines to 10=foot depths, be approved. Cost for the additional depth is justi-
fiable and in line with current costs. Net increase to the contract will be
$5,500, increasing the contract total to $1,095,240.50.

Members of City Council
Subject: Establishment of Local Development Corporation to be used as Conduit` �+
for Community Development Block Grant Funds-
The Citizens Advisory Committee voted unanimously in favor of allocating Com-
munity Development Block Grant funds in the amount of $244,000 under the CDBG
1983 Jobs Bill Statement, to be used as an economic development activity for
construction of approximately 30 new housing units for low-moderate income
families to own their own homes.
The community development funds will be used for the purpose of lowering mort-
gage interest rates a maximum of three percent below the current market rates
and assisting in reducing the payment of closing costs for low-moderate income
families. The housing units will be built City-wide; however, $15,000 will be
allocated for each unit built within the Community Development Strategy Area
and $9,500 for each unit built outside the strategy area.
In order to use the Community Development Block Grant funds to provide for
new construct iUT1 -for housing and to be used for eligible subsidy assistance,
federal regulations require that a local development corporation be formed
to act as a conduit for the Community Development Block Grant funds. This
requires thre.e_.a.ctions by City Council : A resolution must be passed authoriz-
imy -ihe corporation, a three-member board must be appointed, and the City
Manager authorized to execute a contract with the corporation.
The name of -this'-corporation is The Innovative Housing Development.Corporation.'-
The corporation is a non-profit corporation and the period of its duration is
five years. The corporation will be governed by a board of directors consist-
ing of three members.
The- following names have been submitted indicating an interest to serve as a
member of the board: Tom Combs, Loretta Oliver, Helen McCarty, Marilyn Adams,
Dorothy Samuel and Gaylyn Cooper.
This matter has been scheduled for a Work Session on Tuesday so that Council-
members may be fully apprised of this activity prior to its initiation._

Subject: Tax Increment Financing
In the 1983 legislative_ session, the Texas State Legislature passed-a- bill
altering the tax increment law in Texas. This bill , a copy of which is at-
tached, is a comprehensive revision of the Texas Tax Increment Financing Act
of 1981. Beginning in 1984, the City Tax Collector will no longer collect -
the tax increment for all taxing entities levying taxes in the zone; each
taxing unit will collect its own. - The taxing units will pay over the incre-
ment, less a portion not to exceed 15 percent, of the tax increment produced
by the unit as provided by the reinvestment zone financing plan, not later
than the 90th day following February 1st.
Reinvestment zones created prior to August 29, 1983, may continue to operate
as they existed on that day, provided that prior to January 1, 1984, the
board of directors of the zone and the plans for the zone are reconstituted
to conform to Sections 6 and 8 of the Act as amended. Section 6, as amended
provides that each taxing unit that levies real property taxes in the zone
may appoint one member of the board of directors. Section 8 relates to the
reinvestment zone financing plan.
Notice should promptly be given to each taxing unit which levies taxes with-
- in the zone that it may appoint one member of the board of directors of the
- zone. The ordinance which created the zone should be amended to provide for
an increased number of directors to accommodate appointments to be made by
other taxing� units. _RThe'notice _given the other. taxing units should require
an appointment -to be made no later than November 25, 1983, so that compliance f
with Section 6 may be achieved before January 1, 1984,
During December, 1983, the new board should revise the project plan and pre-
pare a reinvestment zone financing plan in accordance with Section 8 of the
amended Act.
The City Attorney will be present at the Work Session on Tuesday to sum-
marize the changes in the tax increment law and respond to any questions
from the City Council .
