Council Letter 128
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Annexation
In Play, 1982, the City received a request from Joe Zerangue for water and sewer
service for a new shop and office being built at 2205 Vilest Florida Avenue. The
City Council agreed to this request subject to the applicant agreeing to sup-
port annexation of the area. The Planning staff report for the annexation
study recommended that the city limits should be realigned to follow the canal
which was south of the property in question. The Planning Commission and City
Council authorized the staff to conduct public hearings for the annexation of
117.6 acres between Florida Avenue and the LNVA Canal and the proposed landfill
site. The required hearings were held, but because of a legal question, the
ordinance was not presented to the City Council . The Legal staff subsequently
concluded that the area proposed for annexation would comply with all State
annexation laws.
On September 19, 1983, the required public hearing on the proposed annexation
was held by the Planning Commission and City Council . The Planning Commission
recommended approval of the annexation proposal by a vote of 5 to 0.
The first reading of this annexation proposal was read and approved by Council
at its October 18, 1983 meeting. This is the second and final reading required
for approval of the proposal . Approval by Council is recommended.

Council Letter 150
Honorable Mayor and
Members of Council
Subject: A Tax on Bingo Games
As part of a continuing effort by City Staff to identify and utilize new revenue
sources, it is recommended that Council adopt an ordinance that levies a tax of
2 percent on the gross receipts from bingo games conducted within the City. The
Bingo Enabling Act was amended by the State Legislature effective September 1 to
permit this tax. In the event that Jefferson County elects to levy a tax, the
City's tax will drop to 1% of gross receipts.
Each licensee which conducts bingo games within the City will remit the tax
monthly to the State Comptroller, The Comptroller remits the tax, at least twice
a year, to the City. The comptroller retains 2% of the tax collected as an ad-
ministrative fee. The first $2,500 of gross receipts per licensee is excluded
each month from the gross receipts tax.
While it is not possible to determine precisely the amounts that will be collected
from the Comptroller's historical records, it is estimated that the tax will
generate $20,000 - $30,000 for the City annually. As with the sales tax, the City
will not be involved in the collection.
Approval by Council is recommended.

Subject: Extension of a deadline for annexation by the City of Lumberton
At its November 2, 1982 meeting Council passed a resolution granting permission
to the City of Lumberton to incorporate property which is located within the
extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Beaumont. The permission granted
was conditioned in that the resolution required the annexation to take place
before November 30, 1983.
The City of Lumberton has experienced some difficulty in meeting this deadline
due to the legal requirements for public hearings. As a result the City of
Lumberton has requested an extension to December 20, 1983 of the November 30
deadline.

is a residential street, there is no city participation on paving.
The total estimated cost of the City's participation including engineering is ap-
proximately $183,207.86. The estimated cost of the storm drainage element of this
project is $244,253.90. The City's portion of the project will be financed from
$300,000 allocated in the Capital Improvements Fund for Street and Drainage Partic-
ipation. The City will administer this construction contract.
It is recommended that a resolution be adopted authorizing the execution of an
agreement between the City of Beaumont and the developers, Vayla Kojak and Kojak
Homes, Inc. , Consulting Engineer for the necessary engineering service for this
participation.

Subject: Retainage on Auditorium Work
The Julie Rogers Theatre for The Performing Arts was opened in October, 1982,
under a certificate of substantial completion on a $3,948,636.19 contract for
renovation and improvement of the former City Auditorium. All major work pro-
vided for in the contract with Daniels Building and Construction Co. was com-
pleted at that time. However, $52,031.69 was retained pending satisfactory
completion of all work under subcontracts. This work has now been completed
and inspected, and the architects, Milton Bell and D. Rex Goode, have recom-
mended that a payment be made to the contractor in the amount of the retainage.
At last Tuesday's meeting, the Council authorized Change Order No. 13 to the
contract which added $3,100 for work not covered by the original agreement.
This change order brought the contract total to $3,951,736.19. Because of the
r
length of the time which has elapsed since issuance of the certificate ificate of sub-
stantial stantial completion, the architects have recommended that payment be made now
to the contractor for the retainage on the work completed prior to Change Order
No. 13 rather than wait for the performance of the additional work. A final
payment would be made on completion of Change Order No. 13.
It is recommended that the Council approve payment to the contractor in the
amount of $52,031.69 representing the retainage on the contract work exclusive
of Change Order No. 13.

Subject: Final Payment, Contract 8A, C & D, Lift Station Improvements
Sanitary Sewer Improvements Contract 8A, C & D has been completed in accordance
with contract documents. The project, funded by a 75% EPA Grant, has passed
final inspection by the Texas Department of Water Resources, and the consulting
engineer.
This project involved constructing three lift stations to replace three small
single pump lift stations. The new stations have from two to four pumps each
for greater reliability and significantly increased capacity. The lift stations
are located on Rue St. , Bennett St. and Stonetown St. (see map). Construction
of the larger replacement lift stations was necessitated to eliminate discharge
of untreated sewage during heavy rainfill periods.
Original and final contract amount is $424,000.00 - no change orders required.
It is recommended that a resolution accepting as complete the lift station im-
provements and that final payment in the amount of $21,200.00 be made to the
contractor, Gulf Coast Industrial Contractors, Inc.

Subject: Sanitary Landfill Site
The new sanitary landfill site requires the crossing of a Houston Pipeline Co.
8-inch diameter pipe at two locations with drainage outfalls. During the en-
gineering phase of the project, it was planned to have the pipeline exposed in
the outfall channels. Subsequent negotiations with Houston Pipeline Co. reveal
that exposure of the 8" pipeline to be unacceptable due to the company.
Investigation of alternate solutions to protect the pipeline indicate that
lowering the outfall channels to go under the pipeline will be the most eco-
nomical at $6,375.00 and acceptable to Houston Pipeline Co. The alternate
solution would be to lower the pipeline to go under the outfall channels at a
cost of $11,800.00.
Approval of Change Order No. 1 will increase the contract from $456,357.00 to
$462,732.00 (1.4%) . There are sufficient funds allocated in the project budget
to cover this increase. This project is being funded by certificates of obli-
gation issued by the City. Approval of Change Order No. 1 is recommended.

Subject: Lease Agreement for Use of Facilities in Riverfront Park
by the Beaumont Riverboat Company
Over the past two years a well known project of the Convention & Visitors
Bureau has been to locate an excursion type riverboat for operation out of
Riverfront Park. The effort was long and difficult but ultimately success-
ful . A local group, the Beaumont Riverboat Corporation, has been formed and
has put together an arrangement for a boat which will begin service in late
November. City and corporation representatives have been discussing a lease
arrangement covering use of the city park.
The proposed Lease Agreement between the City of Beaumont and the Beaumont
Riverboat Company (BRC) provides for use of certain facilities in Riverfront
Park by BRC for conduct of an excursion riverboat business.
The leased premises include: a portion of the dock toward the northernmost
end of the park; a site for a storage building to be installed by BRC, also
toward the northern end of the park; the existing concession building; space
for employee parking in the lower City Hall parking lot.
The term of the Lease Agreement is for 'five years, commencing the 15th day of
November, 1983, with an option to renew for an additional five years.
BRC will make certain improvements to the premises, as approved by the City,
including installation of mooring ballasts, additional electrical service, a
storage building and a covering for the pavilion. BRC will provide for their
own refuse removal and will reimburse the City for electrical utility costs.
The Lease Agreement provides for a rental fee of $1,000 per month, subject
to whatever adjustment is indicated by a quarterly analysis of the cost to
the City for maintenance of Riverfront Park, and as may be offset by BRC 's
payment to the City of 10% of receipts from the sale of concession products
in the concession stand. The quarterly analysis of costs to the City will be
done with the intent of recovering all additional incremental costs associated
with the operation of the riverboat. City staff will set a current maintenance
base cost which will be used i-n this analysis.

I believe this method will adequately protect our interests in this innovative
effort and will , by its proximity to the Civic Center, have a beneficial effect
on usage of other city facilities. I recommend that the lease be approved.

Subject: 1984 Federal Railroad Signal Program
On a biannual basis the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation
reviews railroad crossings in the State of Texas for inclusion in the Federal
Railroad Signal Program. Crossings are included in the program based on num-
ber of accidents, train volumes, etc.
The 1984 Federal Railroad Signal Program has been approved by the State Depart-
ment of Highways and Public Transportation. Among the locations approved for
railroad signal improvements is the Santa Fe grade crossing of Magnolia Avenue.
This location was selected based on accident rates at the grade crossing. The
total cost of the railroad signal improvements is estimated to be $95,000.00.
In order for the. signal to be constructed the City will be obligated to finance
5% of the construction cost. The exact amount of construction cost will be
determined upon estimates received from the railroad company involved. It is
estimated that the cost to the City will not exceed $4,750.00. The City's por-
tion of the cost will be financed out of the Signal Light Improvement line item
of the Capital Projects Budget.
Acceptance of the Certification Statement is recommended.

Subject: City Service Center Parking Lots
On July 12, 1983, the City of Beaumont awarded a contract to Troy Dodson Con-
struction Company in the amount of $56,235.00 for the surfacing of the parking
lots at the City Service Center. The project has been completed at a cost of
$56,403.55, which is $2,168.55 (4l) above the contract price. This overrun is
due to variations in plans and actual quantities used. The total project budget
for the Service Center is $3,500,000 of which approximately $125,000 is presently
unencumbered.
The Engineering Division has inspected the project and it was found to have been
satisfactorily constructed according to the plans and specifications. It is
therefore recommended that final payment in the amount of $2,920.18 be made to
Tray Dodson Construction Company.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of Council
Subject: Citizens Advisory Committee - Recommendation for
Social Service Facility Rehabilitation Projects
One of the topics for discussion at the Tuesday work session is a review of
the CAC's recommendation for funding of the Social Service Facility Rehabil-
ition projects and authorization for the City Manager to enter into a con-
tract with the funded subrecipients.
The City allocated $100,000 in the 1983 CDBG Statement and $148,000 in the
1983 CDBG Jobs Bill Statement for grants to Social Service Agencies that
serve low and moderate income persons or families, to enable them to rehabil-
itate their facilities. Agencies participating must be non-profit corporations
and show evidence that they can't get funding elsewhere and have long range
plans to maintain their facilities after they are rehabilitated.
The Human Services Subcommittee, of the CAC, held three meetings to discuss
and review the proposals that were submitted. The subcommittee members made
on site visits to each of the agencies that submitted requests. After review-
ing the proposals and making on site visits, the subcommittee reviewed the
amount of Community Development Block Grant funds that had been previously
awarded to each of the agencies for major structural repairs to their facilities.
On their meeting of November 11, 1983, the Citiezns Advisory Committee voted
15-0 in favor of the Human Services Subcommittee's recommendation to fund the
following projects:
Y.W.C.A. $168,000
Land Manor-Main House $ 80,000

Council Letter 155
Honorable Mayor and
Members of Council
Subject: Proposed Ordinance - Ambulances
Since the inception of EMS in July, 1982 there have been continuing problems
associated with dispatching of ambulances and monitoring of city radio com-
munications by the private ambulance companies. This is an area of concern
in that the result is often more than one ambulance appearing at the scene
of an emergency. This materially decreases our ability to respond to life
threatening emergencies.
In the interest of public safety and improved dispatching, the attached ordi-
nance is provided for Council review during the work session of its November
22, 1983 meeting. Key points in the proposed ordinance include: a require-
ment for any ambulance to be cleared by the fire dispatcher before responding
to a direct call ; such clearance must be obtained by telephone; and a definition
of iahat constitutes a clear violation of this ordinance. Chief Shelton and
several key staff members will be present to discuss this problem with Council .

Dear Mayor Neild :
In a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Beaumont - Emergency Medical Services , Inc. , the. -
proposed ambulance ordinance was reviewed .
It is the unanimous opinion of the Board that this ordinance
is of the utmost to ce n
im P orta protect the life and safety
of the general public as well as the personnel of the
Fire Department , Police Department , and EMS .
While we realize that there may be some inconvinience and
slight delay in response by the private operators , we feel
that the advantages far out weigh the disadvantages .
The Board of Directors would therefore respectfully request
that the Beaumont City Council pass this proposed ordinance
and that it be strictly enforced .
If the Board of Directors may be of any assistance in the
future , please do not hesitate to contact me .
Sincerely ,

Council Letter 148
Honorable Mayor and
Members of Council
Subject: Activities of the Health Department
In the coming weeks staff will on a regular basis begin a series of presenta-
tions designed to provide Council with a clearer picture of the services pro-
vided and issues faced by the various departments of the City of Beaumont.
We will begin this week with a review of the activities of the Health Depart-
ment. While there are many issues that are of concern in this activity, there
is one that has gained a sense of immediacy. This is the issue of how the City
is to enforce state and local law prohibiting the sale of home-made goods to
the public. This includes the sale of such items as chili , sandwiches, home-
canned goods, custard and cream-filled pies, cakes, candy, and cookies. This
problem occurs during the licensing of temporary food service events, including
food booths at such events as Boom Days, Food and Heritage Festival , Lamar
University events, church bazaars, school carnivals, and many others.
State and local law provide that "all bakery products shall have been prepared
in a food-service establishment or in a food-processing establishment". It
further provides that "none of the operations connected with a food-service
establishment shall be conducted in any room used as living or sleeping quarters".
This provision prohibits any food being prepared in the home and then sold to
the public.
All food sold or served to the public must meet state and local requirements for
food preparation, sanitation and control to ensure the protection of the public
from disease outbreaks. This includes food sold not only by restaurants but also
"temporary" food serving events. Often, these temporary events pose the more
serious threat to possible contamination of food and growth of bacteria due to
improper handling that would cause a food-borne diesase outbreak to occur.
Approximately 50 percent of all foodborne disease outbreaks are caused by home-
cooked foods. Potentially hazardous foods such as chili , home-canned goods, and
custard or cream-filled pies are particularly severe problems. Cakes, candy, and
cookies are also frequent causes of disease. A major outbreak of hepatitis last
week in Oklahoma was caused by home-baked cookies. The last death in Beaumont (in
1967) from foodborne disease involved a home-made cake brought into a nursing
home.
Council Letter 148
November 18, 1983 ,
Page 2
Federal and state food authorities advise the City Health Department that
"food service being provided by private clubs, fraternal orders, societies
of various types, churches, and religiously affiliated organizations. . .should
be subject to all sanitary requirements applicable to commercial food service
establishments". They do suggest that the regulatory authority work closely
with these organizations in advance of their events to educate them and ensure
the application of food protection measures. They also advise there may be
legal problems to the City'of allowing such foods to be sold to the public in
direct contradiction of the law, in the event a foodborne disease outbreak
should occur.
The City Health Department has been enforcing these requirements all along.
Because of limited staff they have relied on most organizations to voluntarily
comply with licensing requirements and thus come under inspection procedures.
The Department also intervenes when a specific complaint is received.
About two weeks ago, several organizations publicly advertised in the newspaper
their intention to sell not only baked goods, but also chili , home-canned goods
and other prohibed goods. The City Health Department staff contacted these
groups for compliance with state and city requirements. Most of these groups
have been licensed in previous years but apparently chose not to comply this
year. Consequently, several organizations expressed their problems at the
same time. The City Health Department has subpended enforcement of this section
of state and local law, pending this council review.
Our major concern is that enforcement of the law should be fair and consistent.'
If certain groups are exempted (if that is legally possible), where does one
draw the line? Why prohibit home-made goods in restaurants if they are allowed
in food booths of various organizations?
Because of the impact of enforcement on the community (Particularly churches and
school groups) , Council direction is appropriate and desirable.
