adjusted accordingly. The balance of the account shall be reinstated and payments shall be applied
to that balance. In addition,the customer shall not be able to obtain new water service with the City
until the delinquent balance has been paid.

TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Dr. Hani J. Tohme, Water Utilities Director
MEETING DATE: September 25, 2007
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 18, 2007
REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager
to execute a wastewater service agreement with West
Jefferson Municipal Utility District.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of executing a wastewater service agreement with West
Jefferson Municipal Utility District to serve an RV park outside City limits at the corner of Hwy. 124
and Frint Drive.
BACKGROUND
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; Chapter 290, Sub-Chapter D, Rules and
Regulations for Public Water Systems, require municipalities to execute service agreements with
wholesalers as well as non-transient,non communities,which are not a community water system but
regularly serve at least twenty-five(25)of the same persons at least six months out of the year. Once
service agreements are executed with such entities,they will be required by State law to monitor and
report the water quality inside of their property on a monthly basis. This procedure will prevent any
possible contamination of the City of Beaumont water system and protect public health.
The Water Utilities Department provides water and/or sanitary sewer service to sixteen(16)industrial
customers and 4,800 commercial customers.
The wastewater service agreement with West Jefferson Municipal Utility District will provide sanitary
sewer service to an RV park located outside Beaumont's City limits. Phase I of the project will
provide service to twenty-six(26) spots and Phase II will accommodate fifty(50) additional spots.
The estimated total daily flow of 15,000 gallons will have minimal impact on the forty-seven(47)
million gallons a day treatment capacity of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The agreement is recommended for approval by the City Manager and the Water Utilities Director.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Sewer line extensions and required lift station construction is funded by the owner of the RV park.
The City of Beaumont will not participate with any of the construction cost, and will not be
responsible for the maintenance of the new infrastructure.

TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Max S. Duplant, Chief Financial Officer
MEETING DATE: September 25, 2007
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 17, 2007
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider accepting the tax roll and establishing the
property tax rate for the tax year 2007 (FY 2008).
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends that Council accept the Jefferson County Appraisal District's Certified
Tax Roll and adopt a property tax rate of$0.654 for the tax year 2007(FY 2008). The tax rate would
be apportioned $0.434 to the General Fund and$0.220 to the Debt Service Fund. This distribution
represents a shift of 3.9 cents of the dedicated tax rate from the Debt Service Fund to the General
Fund.
Section 26.05(b)of the Property Tax Code,mandates the language in the motion to adopt the tax rate
if the tax rate exceeds the effective tax rate. The mandated language is shown in bold.
"I move that property taxes be increased by the adoption of a tax rate of 65.4 cents." This tax
rate reflects a one-half cent decrease from the 2006 tax rate.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with truth-in-taxation laws in
adopting their tax rates. State law requires all taxing units to adopt their tax rates before the later of
September 30 or the 601h day after the taxing unit receives the appraisal roll. State law also requires
the adoption of the Budget before the tax rate.
This same chapter of the Property Tax Code requires the following statements to be included in the
City's ordinance setting the tax rate: "This tax rate will raise more taxes for maintenance and
operations than last year's tax rate." "The tax rate will raise taxes for maintenance and operations
on a $100,000 home by approximately$39.45."
Adoption of Tax Rate
September 25, 2007
Page 2
In accordance with truth-in-taxation laws,two public hearings were held on September 4,2007 and
September 11,2007. In addition,all required notices were published in the newspaper,on the City's
website, and on the municipal channel.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Property tax revenue in the FY 2008 Budget is calculated at the rate of$0.654 per$100 in assessed
value.This rate,applied to the certified tax roll of$5,582,328,543 plus minimum values omitted due
to protests at a collection rate of 97%, generates approximately $35,413,000 for the General and
Debt Service Funds combined.
ORDINANCE NO.
ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING THE TAX ROLL
FOR THE CITY OF BEAUMONT; ESTABLISHING A TAX
RATE; PROVIDING FOR LEVYING, ASSESSING AND
COLLECTING OF AD VALOREM TAXES FOR THE TAX
YEAR 2007; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND
PROVIDING FOR REPEAL.
WHEREAS, the Jefferson County Appraisal District has furnished to the City of
Beaumont the certified tax roll for the City of Beaumont as of July 30, 2007, to be
$5,582,328.543; and,
WHEREAS,the City Council finds that the tax roll submitted by the Jefferson County
Appraisal District should be accepted and that a tax rate in the amount of$0.654 per each
$100 of value for the tax year 2007 (FY 2008) should be established based upon said roll;
and
WHEREAS, THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE
AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE; AND
WHEREAS, THE TAX RATE WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND
OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY $39.45.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE
CITY OF BEAUMONT:
Section 1.
That the tax roll submitted to the City Council by the Jefferson County Appraisal
District, a summary of which is attached as Exhibit "A", and showing the total net taxable
assessed value of all property within the City to be$5,582,328,543 is hereby approved and
accepted by the City of Beaumont.
Section 2.
That there shall be and is hereby levied and shall be assessed and collected for the

TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
MEETING DATE: September 25, 2007
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 21, 2007
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a
new labor agreement with the Beaumont Police Officers
Association
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval.
BACKGROUND
The existing labor agreement with the Beaumont Police Officers Association expires on September
30, 2007. The City and Association have been negotiating a new agreement since May of this
year.
The new labor agreement would commence October 1, 2007 and expire on September 30, 2011.
The substantive parts of the new agreement include the following:
The agreement provides for a 5%wage increase effective October 1,2007; 5%on October
g
1, 2008; 5% on October 1, 2009 and 4% on October 1, 2010.
Effective January 1, 2008, police officers will contribute the same amount in monthly
premiums for medical insurance as civilian employees. Employees with one dependent
will pay $140 per month effective January 1, 2008. Employees with two or more
dependents will pay $190 per month. Police officers with two or more dependents
currently contribute $165 per month for medical insurance. In future years, the City may
increase the monthly premium rate for officers by the same percentage increase as for
civilian employees not to exceed 12.5% per plan year. For example, if the City increases
the monthly premium rate for civilian employees by 5% effective January 1, 2009, the
monthly premium rate for officers with two or more dependents would be increased by
$9.50 to $199.50.
Language has been added in the Duration Article stating the City presently intends to
continue the agreement each fiscal year through the end of its term, and to fully perform
all of the obligations of the City. It further states "all obligations of the City shall be paid
only out of current revenues or any other funds lawfully available therefor and appropriated
for such purpose by the City Council, in compliance with the Texas Constitution, Article
XI, Sections 5 and 7.
A copy of the tentative agreement between the City and Association is attached for your
review. New language is in bold print and language that will be deleted in the new
contract has been lined through. The new labor agreement is recommended by the City
Manager, Police Chief and CFO.

TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Dr. Hani J. Tohme, Water Utilities Director
MEETING DATE: September 25, 2007
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 18, 2007
REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager
to execute a wastewater service agreement with West
Jefferson Municipal Utility District.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of executing a wastewater service agreement with West
Jefferson Municipal Utility District to serve an RV park outside City limits at the corner of Hwy. 124
and Frint Drive.
BACKGROUND
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; Chapter 290, Sub-Chapter D, Rules and
Regulations for Public Water Systems, require municipalities to execute service agreements with
wholesalers as well as non-transient,non communities,which are not a community water system but
regularly serve at least twenty-five(25)of the same persons at least six months out of the year. Once
service agreements are executed with such entities,they will be required by State law to monitor and
report the water quality inside of their property on a monthly basis. This procedure will prevent any
possible contamination of the City of Beaumont water system and protect public health.
The Water Utilities Department provides water and/or sanitary sewer service to sixteen(16)industrial
customers and 4,800 commercial customers.
The wastewater service agreement with West Jefferson Municipal Utility District will provide sanitary
sewer service to an RV park located outside Beaumont's City limits. Phase I of the project will
provide service to twenty-six(26) spots and Phase II will accommodate fifty(50) additional spots.
The estimated total daily flow of 15,000 gallons will have minimal impact on the forty-seven(47)
million gallons a day treatment capacity of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The agreement is recommended for approval by the City Manager and the Water Utilities Director.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Sewer line extensions and required lift station construction is funded by the owner of the RV park.
The City of Beaumont will not participate with any of the construction cost, and will not be
responsible for the maintenance of the new infrastructure.

BACKGROUND
The construction contract was awarded by Council to N& T Construction, Inc. in the amount of
$648,000. Construction is underway and the following improvements are recommended:

walkway. The original memorial bricks installed in the boulevard on MLK Parkway are scheduled
to be replaced. Change Order No. 2 is the cost for imprinting 261 new bricks. Upon completion of
the park, the original memorial bricks will be removed from the parkway and offered to the families
that purchased them. The cost for imprinting is $6,635.
Change Order No. 3 is the cost for furnishing and installing electrical power breakers, a concrete
pedestal and an aluminum enclosure for the main electrical service that connects to the main power
source. Entergy moved the overhead lines but the property owner is responsible for the service
breakers and connection. A concrete pedestal and a secure aluminum enclosure was constructed to
accommodate the service breakers. The cost for this change order is $8,303.
Change Order No. 4 includes furnishing and installing new light fixtures in the parking lot. The high
mast light fixture on the park site is sufficient lighting for the park, however, it does not provide

seven(7)light fixtures in the parking area. The cost includes all trenching,wiring and light pole bases
for a complete installation. The cost for the additional lighting is $17,669.

TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Max S. Duplant, Chief Financial Officer
MEETING DATE: September 25, 2007
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 17, 2007
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider accepting the tax roll and establishing the
property tax rate for the tax year 2007 (FY 2008).
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends that Council accept the Jefferson County Appraisal District's Certified
Tax Roll and adopt a property tax rate of$0.654 for the tax year 2007(FY 2008). The tax rate would
be apportioned $0.434 to the General Fund and$0.220 to the Debt Service Fund. This distribution
represents a shift of 3.9 cents of the dedicated tax rate from the Debt Service Fund to the General
Fund.
Section 26.05(b)of the Property Tax Code,mandates the language in the motion to adopt the tax rate
if the tax rate exceeds the effective tax rate. The mandated language is shown in bold.
"I move that property taxes be increased by the adoption of a tax rate of 65.4 cents." This tax
rate reflects a one-half cent decrease from the 2006 tax rate.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with truth-in-taxation laws in
adopting their tax rates. State law requires all taxing units to adopt their tax rates before the later of
September 30 or the 601h day after the taxing unit receives the appraisal roll. State law also requires
the adoption of the Budget before the tax rate.
This same chapter of the Property Tax Code requires the following statements to be included in the
City's ordinance setting the tax rate: "This tax rate will raise more taxes for maintenance and
operations than last year's tax rate." "The tax rate will raise taxes for maintenance and operations
on a $100,000 home by approximately$39.45."
Adoption of Tax Rate
September 25, 2007
Page 2
In accordance with truth-in-taxation laws,two public hearings were held on September 4,2007 and
September 11,2007. In addition,all required notices were published in the newspaper,on the City's
website, and on the municipal channel.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Property tax revenue in the FY 2008 Budget is calculated at the rate of$0.654 per$100 in assessed
value.This rate,applied to the certified tax roll of$5,582,328,543 plus minimum values omitted due
to protests at a collection rate of 97%, generates approximately $35,413,000 for the General and
Debt Service Funds combined.

AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 21, 2007
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a
new labor agreement with the Beaumont Police Officers
Association
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval.
BACKGROUND
The existing labor agreement with the Beaumont Police Officers Association expires on September
30, 2007. The City and Association have been negotiating a new agreement since May of this
year.
The new labor agreement would commence October 1, 2007 and expire on September 30, 2011.
The substantive parts of the new agreement include the following:
The agreement provides for a 5%wage increase effective October 1,2007; 5%on October
g
1, 2008; 5% on October 1, 2009 and 4% on October 1, 2010.
Effective January 1, 2008, police officers will contribute the same amount in monthly
premiums for medical insurance as civilian employees. Employees with one dependent
will pay $140 per month effective January 1, 2008. Employees with two or more
dependents will pay $190 per month. Police officers with two or more dependents
currently contribute $165 per month for medical insurance. In future years, the City may
increase the monthly premium rate for officers by the same percentage increase as for
civilian employees not to exceed 12.5% per plan year. For example, if the City increases
the monthly premium rate for civilian employees by 5% effective January 1, 2009, the
monthly premium rate for officers with two or more dependents would be increased by
$9.50 to $199.50.
Language has been added in the Duration Article stating the City presently intends to

B. Employees with nine(9)years or more consecutive service who do not use more
than forty (40) hours of sick leave in a calendar year will have eight (8) hours of vacation
time added to their normally accrued vacation time.
C. In computing the length of time during which an employee may be absent from
work for vacation, only those calendar days during which the employee would be required
to work if the employee were not on vacation shall be counted as vacation days.
D. Any employee with more than one (1) year's service as a commissioned police
officer with the Department who is separated from service by reason of resignation,death,
retirement,or discharge shall be compensated in cash for all accumulated unused vacation
hours at the regular rate of pay at the time of separation.

employee until that employee has completed one (1) year of service with the Employer.

full pay period after October [F f-d 15. Payments made under this provision do not
become part of the base wage,nor will such payments be used to calculate any other benefit

during the fiscal year.
20

submitted to payroll on or before January 15 of the following year and payment will be
made in the first full pay period after February 15. Payments made under this provision do
not become part of the base wage, nor will such payments be used to calculate any other
benefit unless required by law.
H. The Chief of Police may not discipline an employee for the legitimate use of sick

TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Dr. Hani J. Tohme, Water Utilities Director
MEETING DATE: September 25, 2007
AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 18, 2007
REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager
to execute a wastewater service agreement with West
Jefferson Municipal Utility District.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of executing a wastewater service agreement with West
Jefferson Municipal Utility District to serve an RV park outside City limits at the corner of Hwy. 124
and Frint Drive.
BACKGROUND
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; Chapter 290, Sub-Chapter D, Rules and
Regulations for Public Water Systems, require municipalities to execute service agreements with
wholesalers as well as non-transient,non communities,which are not a community water system but
regularly serve at least twenty-five(25)of the same persons at least six months out of the year. Once
service agreements are executed with such entities,they will be required by State law to monitor and
report the water quality inside of their property on a monthly basis. This procedure will prevent any
possible contamination of the City of Beaumont water system and protect public health.
The Water Utilities Department provides water and/or sanitary sewer service to sixteen(16)industrial
customers and 4,800 commercial customers.
The wastewater service agreement with West Jefferson Municipal Utility District will provide sanitary
sewer service to an RV park located outside Beaumont's City limits. Phase I of the project will
provide service to twenty-six(26) spots and Phase II will accommodate fifty(50) additional spots.
The estimated total daily flow of 15,000 gallons will have minimal impact on the forty-seven(47)
million gallons a day treatment capacity of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The agreement is recommended for approval by the City Manager and the Water Utilities Director.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Sewer line extensions and required lift station construction is funded by the owner of the RV park.
The City of Beaumont will not participate with any of the construction cost, and will not be
responsible for the maintenance of the new infrastructure.
