Council Letter 412
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Ordinance Amending the 1984 Budget and authorizing Employment of
Sibson and Company, Inc.
The employment of Sibson and Company, Inc. for professional services related
to the development of a Classification-Compensation Plan for the City of
Beaumont is properly classified as a one-time, non-recurring expense. This
program is a crucial part of our continuing efforts in the area of improve-
ments within the work force of the City. As per the policy of this Council ,
expenditures of this nature are to be budgeted out of Fund balance in the
General Fund.
The ordinance recommended for approval transfers $115,000 from Fund balance
to the professional services line item within the Personnel Department. This
amount will be sufficient to employ Sibson and Company and will also cover
any additional staff expenses that may be incurred in this long and complex
effort. We have attached, for reference, Council Letter 390 which details
the scope of the effort by Sibson and Company, Inc.
It is recommended that the ordinance be approved.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Classification and Compensation Program
Enclosed is a proposal from Sibson and Company which describes a work plan
for the redesign of a classification and salary administration program for
full-time civilians of the City of Beaumont. Sibson and Company was founded
in 1959 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson and Higgins, which is
the City's current insurance broker through the Texas Municipal League.
Sibson is a leading management consulting firm specializing in human rela-
tions and compensation management, and is recognized nationally for high-
quality work in salary compensation and administration, job evaluation, sales
force compensation, performance appraisal and employee communication. Sib-
son and Company is recognized as a leading source of information covering
national trends and compensation levels and practices of the insurance in-
dustry, banking industry, sales industry and public sector.
This study is recommended because the last consultant study of the City's
job classification and compensation program occurred in 1974. The primary
objective of this project will be to establish equitable pay levels for ap-
proximately 900 civilian jobs. To accomplish this task, the internal com-
parison of jobs will be made by a City Department Head Committee. Analysis
of external competitiveness will result from a market survey done by Sibson
personnel .
Sibson's job in this project will be to assume the role of facilitator to
accomplish consensus group decision-making and team building among a City
Department Head Task Force which will oversee this study. This approach
will aid successful implementation through the participation and ownership
Of City Department Heads in makin- decisions on program scope and implementa-
tion. Procedures will be developed in establishing this new compensation
plan which will allow for on-going maintenance and updating by the City
staff after Sibson completes this assignment.
Highlights of total project elements are as follows:
I. Defining the Objectives and Scope of the Project.
This element will take the form of interviews with De-
partment Heads to define management philosophy and
strategy to obtain input from key management personnel
( on desired compensation and classification practices.
Council Letter 390
March 23, 1984
Page 2
II. Program Planning.
Sibson's Chicago staff will conduct a program to train
the Personnel Director and Assistant Personnel Director
in the following areas:
A. How to conduct job analysis;
B. How to write job descriptions and instruct others
in the writing of job descriptions;
C. How to evaluate jobs;
D. How to conduct job evaluation sessions; and,
E. How to administer the salary program.
III, Appointment of Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee will consist of a group of
Department Heads who will work on job evaluation and
the internal ranking of jobs during the course of this
project. After completion of this project, the com-
mittee will have rotating membership to include a wide
range of input from the City. Sibson and Company will
work with the Compensation Committee and review al-
ternative job evaluation methods to determine which
best meets the City's needs. The Compensation Committee
then will make the final policy making decision regard-
ing the internal ranking of civilian jobs.
Department Head jobs will be evaluated by the Consul-
tants for review by the City Manager.
IV. Conducting Market Surveys for Hourly and Salaried Jobs.
A major objective of this project is to establish internal
equity among jobs in the City of Beaumont. However, it
will also be necessary to establish the external compe-
titiveness and equity of the Classification Plan designed
by the Compensation Committee. Therefore, Sibson and
Company will conduct surveys of relevant private and
public employers in relevant labor markets and analyze
the survey results in order to make recommendations re-
gaiding the pay levels associated with the classification
of all jobs.
Council Letter 390
,larch 23, 1984

V. Designing Pay-for-Performance Procedures.
This work involves introducing pay for performance
alternatives to Department Heads which will include
the topics of goal-setting, performance planning and
administration of pay.
VI. Other Implementation Procedures.
Other assistance provided by Sibson and Company will in-
clude assisting the Compensation Committee with the task
of internal ranking of jobs and assigning values to jobs
and assisting the personnel staff in costing the new
salary structure.
VII. Designing the New Classification and Compensation Plan.
Sibson and Company will provide a detailed Classification
Manual to include the following sections:
A. The Scope and Objectives of the Classification
Programs;
B. Job Analysis Procedures.
C. Job Documentation and Description Procedures;
D. Job Evaluation and Classification Procedures;
E. Merit Pay Increases (if required) ;
F. Structure and Progression Increases (if required) ;
G. Promotions;
H. Transfers;
I. Appeals Procedures; ,
J. Requests for Reclassification; and,
K. Updating the Plan.
VIII. Time Table.
At this time, it is estimated that the project will re-
quire a minimum of approximately 180 days from beginning
to completion and a maximum of 270 days. Project cost
shall not exceed $115,000.

Council Letter 421
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
Subject: Proposed Ordinance Prohibiting Sale or Gift of Certain Baby Animals
The sale of certain baby animals as pets, particularly around Easter, poses
problems concerning inhumane treatment these animals often receive and health
problems and diseases they may spread to humans. The staff is proposing to
ban the sale of these baby animals as pets, on a year-round basis, to solve
these two problems.
The ordinance would specifically allow the continued sale of these animals
for commercial breeding purposes, or for educational , scientific or govern-
mental purposes. Feed stores selling baby chicks to farmers, for example,
would not be affected. Neither would 4H or FFA students or similar legiti-
mate projects.
The proposed ordinance would ban the sale of baby chicks, ducklings, goslings,
skunks, raccoons, oppossums, foxes, turtles, or bats under three weeks of
age - or rabbits under two months of age - as pets. The ordinance would also
ban the dyeing of these baby animals.
The baby chicks, ducklings, goslings and turtles are often implicated in the
spread of salmonellosis - an acute gastro-intestinal illness with symptoms
similar to the flu - and other illnesses. Young children often handle these
young pets and become contaminated from their wastes. The baby skunks, rac-
coons, oppossums, foxes and bats are prime carriers of rabies.
In addition to these health concerns, these baby animals are often mistreated
by their young owners and are severely injured or killed. The Humane Society
must deal yearly with a number of cases of abandoned rabbits and chickens
when the young owner's fascination with the animal has worn off - if the
animal has survived.
This ordinance will effectively end the major portion of inhumane treatment
these animals receive and will significantly reduce the health problems
associated with them.
It is recommended that this ordinance be adopted.

rabbits under two ( 2 ) months of age as pets, or to color, dye,
stain or otherwise change the natural color of baby chickens,
ducklings , goslings , skunks, raccoons, foxes, opossums, bats,
turtles or rabbits.
It is a defense to this section that the sale or
exchange of such baby chickens, ducklings , goslings , skunks,
raccoons, foxes, opossums, bats, turtles or rabbits was for
commercial breeding purposes or for scientific, educational, or

Subject: Purchase of a Flatbed Truck
Bids were received from two vendors, Kinsel Ford and JK Chevrolet, for the
purchase of a one-ton flatbed truck for the Community Facilities Department.
The bids were as follows:
Kinsel Ford $10,649.33
JK Chevrolet 10,997.00
The Community Facilities Department will use this light-duty truck to trans-
port tables and seating and other materials from one of their sites to
another. This item was in the Fleet Replacement Budget for this fiscal year
with an estimate on its cost of $20,000. Kinsel Ford did not meet specifi-
cations in their bid because they are supplying a 63 amp battery, as opposed
to the 70 amp battery called for in the specifications. This is a minor de-
viation and the price difference is $350.
It is recommended that the bid of Kinsel Ford be approved.

Subject: Sanitary Sewer Improvements Approval of Change Order No. 2 and
Authorization of Final Payment
This project, under a $455,500 contract awarded on April 21, 1983 to John
Bankston Construction, consisted of installing two 12-inch force mains, each
12,045 feet, and constructing a 3 million gallon/day lift station. These
improvements will allow for future development in the service area, located
generally in the north and northeast protions of the City and will provide
improved capacity for handling peak period loads on our sanitary sewer
system in the area.
Change Order No. 2 is intended to adjust actual quantities used in all com-
ponents of the actual construction work and also include the approval of
the construction of a sewer manhole that was required in connecting the new
lift station to the existing sewer system. The total net change for all these
items is a net contract decrease of $97. The Change Order also provides
approved time extensions of 13 days for rainouts and design changes. The
construction on this project exceeded contract deadlines by six days, and a
liquidated damages assessment of $250 per day is also included.
The project budget summary on this City-Federal effort involving 75 percent
Federal and 25 percent City monies is as follows:
Original Contract $455,500
Change Order No. 1 -0- - Previously Approved
Change Order No. 2 1,597 - Liquidated damages
$453,903 and contract adjustments
Total City Share $113,475.75
Federal Share 340,427.25
Progress payments totalling $431,132.85 have previously been made to the
contractor, leaving a final payment amount of $22,770.15.
It. is recommended that the resolution approving Change Order No. 2 and final
payment in the amount of $22,770. 15 be approved.

Subject: Emergency Repair Work on Backup Lighting at Civic Center
When the backup battery system used for emergency lighting at the Civic
Center failed in late January, the factory service firm was engaged im-
mediately to repair the control components of the system and evaluate the
status of the batteries. It was determined that the batteries had to be
replaced. This evaluation forced the staff to consider other alternatives,
which resulted in the March 27th Council decision to approve the emergency
purchase of a standby generator for the Civic Center. The cost associated
with the original repair and evaluation effort amounted to $1,725.20 with
Miles Electronics from Houston.
It is recommended that the resolution authorizing this expenditure be ap-
proved.

Subject: Purchase of Herbicides
This year, the Parks Department is embarking on an expanded weed control
effort utilizing a variety of approved herbicides. This program is a part
of the Department's increased responsibility with respect to its assumption
of the total City mowing and right-of-way maintenance program as described
earlier in the Cleaner Community effort.
Bids were received on March 19th from the following vendors:
1,000 Gals. 60 Gals.
MSMA 30 Gals. Nalco-
Herbicide Herbicide Trol I
Van Waters
and Rogers, Beaumont $ 9,930.00 $2,387. 10 $1,585.80

Public Health Equipment
& Supply, San Antonio 12,600.00 No bid No bid
Chem-Spray,
Duson, Louisiana 8,800.00 2,319.00 No bid
The MSMA Herbicide, which is by far the largest purchase, is currently used
by the State for weed control . This herbicide is classified as a growth-
retardant chemical and acts to control broad-leaf grasses and weeds and does
not affect narrow-leaf grasses, such as bermuda.
The proposed purchase of an additional 30 gallons of a different herbicide
will enable the Department to utilize a chemical for weed and grass control
around ornamental plantings and ground cover areas.
The Nalco-Trol I proposed for purchase is an additive agent, intended to be
used to control drifting of the herbicides when they are being applied.
Council Letter 413
March 30, 1984
Page 2
While Helena Chemical and Chem-Spray both bid $8,800 for 1,000 gallons of
the MSMA herbicide, the bid of Helena Chemical had a shorter delivery date
and purchase is recommended from Helena. The bid from Helena for the 30
gallons of herbicide for $2,310 is recommended as the lowest and best bid.
Ilan Waters and Rogers bid of $1,585.80 for 60 gallons of Nalco-Trol I is
the lowest and best bid for this item.
The total expenditure amounts to $12,695.80. This expenditure was antici-
pated and sufficient monies were set aside in the 1984 Parks budget.
It
is recommended that the bids of Helena Chemical and Van Waters and Rogers
tie accepted.

Subject: Purchase of Computer Equipment
Several months ago, the Data Processing Division purchased additional hardware
to enable us to expand our communication capabilities with user departments.
In addition, discs used for data storage were also purchased.
As a second phase of this year's improvements, bids were requested for addi-
tional terminals, printers and auxiliary equipment needed for communication
expansion in the Fire Department, Urban Transportation, Municipal Court and
the Water Department. The funds required for these purchases have all been
budgeted in the user department's 1984 budget.
The bids are as follows:

Page 2
In the particular instance of the multiplexers and the line drivers, it is
necessary to evaluate quotes on these items jointly, because compatibility
of the equipment is absolutely necessary for operations. Because of the re-
quirement, the combined bid of Data Aids for $5,450.50 for the multiplexers
and the line drivers is the best and lowest quote.
The apparent low bids on the daisywheel teleprinter from Domino Computer
and Devcom Mid-America do not include installation and maintenance, as was
required in the bid. Therefore, the bid of Helena Labs in the amount of
$5,715 is recommended for the teleprinter and the two serial printers. The
quote of $10,064 from Devcom is recommended on terminals.
It is recommended that the resolution approving purchases from Helena Labs,
Data Aids and Devcom be approved.

Subject: Purchase of Tractors and Flail Mowers for Parks Department
On March 5th of this year, bids were received from several vendors for the
purchase of tractors and flail mowers that are used in our Parks maintenance
and grounds upkeep activities. The bids were as follows:
Tractors Flail Mowers
Audilet Tractors $16,940 $4,700
Oil City Tractors 25,326 4,242
International Harvester 23,878 4,400
Hyco Equipment 25,644 3,800
With respect to the purchase of the tractors, the apparent low bid received
from Audilet Tractors failed to meet specifications with respect to the
stipulated horsepower called for in the bid specifications. Therefore, in
the particular case of the tractors, the lowest bid meeting specifications
is that submitted by International Harvester for $23,878. In the case of
the flail mowers, or cutters, used in mowing activities, the apparent low
bid of Hyco Equipment for the flail mowers failed to meet specifications in
that the weight of the unit was less than the specified amount called for in
our bid. It is necessary, in this case, to call for a specific weight amount
in that the weight of the unit directly relates to the materials used in the
construction. Obviously, a heavier unit will stand up to the heavy usage
placed on this type of equipment by our Parks Department. The second low
quote received from Oil City Tractors for $4,242, is recommended for purchase.
Some $30,000 for these purchases was budgeted in the 1984 Fleet Replacement
Fund. The combined total of these bids is $28,120.
It is recommended that the bid of International Harvestor and Oil City
Tractors for these pieces of equipment be approved.

Subject: Amending Guidelines of the Commercial Rehabilitation Loan Program
1983 Jobs Bill Statement
The 1983 Community Development Block Grant Jobs Bill Statement of Objectives
and Projected Use of Funds budgeted $100,000 for a Commercial Rehabilitation
Loan Program in the Charlton-Pollard Neighborhood or Census Tract 17. This
budget was approved by Council in May of 1983.
The funds were to be used to provide rehabilitation loans for small busi-
nesses such as laundromats, drugstores, cleaners, or other neighborhood con-
venience stores. The City's Housing Rehabilitation staff advertised for
proposals during a six-month period. No response to the request for pro-
posals has been received.
In order to attempt to resolve this lack of interest, the Program Adminis-
tration Subcommittee of the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) met on
March 22, 1984, to discuss the situation. It was determined that the pro-
gram restriction allowing these types of improvements only in Census Tract 17
was incorrect because of the lack of interest in the area. Therefore, the
Subcommittee recommended amending the guidelines of the Commercial Rehabili-
tation Program to expand the program into the entire Community Development
Strategy Area which includes Census Tract numbers 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 18,
22, 23, and a portion of 19 and 20. The Citizen's Advisory Committee re-
viewed the Subcommittee's recommendation during the March 22, 1984, meeting
and voted 9 to 0 to recommend that City Council amend the Commercial Re-
habilitation Loan Program guidelines expanding the program into the entire
Community Development Strategy Area. The Planning staff concurs with this
recommendation.
It. is recommended that that resolution be approved.

Honorable Mayor and

Subject: Amending Guidelines of the Community Development Block Grant
Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program
The present loan limits of the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program sets a
maximum loan amount of $15,000. The Loan Advisory Board has the authority
to increase the loan by ten percent if unusual circumstances exist. In ad-
dition, up to a $1,500 energy conservation package can be added to the
loan. When all options are added, it can increase the loan limit to a
maximum of $18,000.
In addition, many loan applications are being turned down because of ex-
cessive costs and a lot of staff time is being spent on the excessive costs
eases.
The Program Administration Subcommittee of the Citizens Advisory Committee
(CAC) met on March 2, 1984. It was determined that the Loan Advisory
Board is currently exercising its authority to increase every loan when
needed by the ten percent on a routine basis, thereby increasing the loan
limit to a maximum of $18,000. Also, the Subcommittee concluded that many
loan applications were being turned down due to excessive costs. Therefore,
the Subcommittee recommended amending the guidelines of the Housing Re-
habilitation Loan Program by raising the loan limit to a maximum of $18,000
with discretion remaining with the Loan Advisory Board to increase the
loan limit by the ten percent for exceptional cases. The CAC reviewed the
Subcommittee's recommendation during the March 22, 1984 meeting and voted
10 to 0 to recommend that City Council amend the Housing Rehabilitation
Loan Program guidelines by raising the loan limit to a maximum of $18,000.
The Planning staff concurs with this recommendation.
It is recommended that the resolution authorizing the amendment of the
Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program Guidelines be adopted.
