RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends that a bid be awarded to Bruce's General Construction of Beaumont in the amount of$308,713.27 for furnishing all labor, materials, equipment and supplies to reconstruct nine baseball fields at three complexes at the Athletic Complex. BACKGROUND Three of the four complexes at the Athletic Complex on Langham Road have not been refurbished since their original construction. For the past thirty years, soil materials have been continually added to alleviate drainage issues and prepare fields for play. Play on the fields has become limited during inclement weather as water does not drain quickly to render the fields playable. This contract includes grading each field in accordance with standard baseball field design regulations, installing storm water drainage inlets, and seeding. The proposed improvements were designed by the local engineering firm, Fittz and Shipman, Inc. The contract specifies that the work must be complete by the end of February 2008 so that spring tournament play will not be affected.

RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends that Council award to Aetna a two-year contract effective January 1, 2008 for Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D), Supplemental Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) and Dependent Life Insurance. BACKGROUND Currently, the City provides basic life and accidental death and dismemberment(AD&D)insurance for approximately 1,221 employees. The City sponsored basic life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance is provided at no cost to the employee. The amount of basic life/AD&D insurance is 100% of the employee's annual base salary rounded to the next highest $1,000 to a maximum benefit of$50,000.Employees may elect to purchase supplemental fife and accidental death and dismemberment and dependent life at a group rate. The group rate is usually more cost effective than an individual policy for the employee. Supplemental life, which includes AD&D and dependent life, is offered to all employees with approximately 934 currently participating. This coverage has been provided through Aetna since January 1, 2006. In August 2007, City staff began analyzing the City's life insurance cost. Staff also began working with the City's benefit consultant,Holmes Murphy&Associates to solicit bid proposals on the City's behalf. Requests for Proposal(RFPs)were sent to twenty-five carriers and agents. Holmes Murphy received six proposals including the incumbent's quote for basic life and AD&D, supplemental life and AD&D, and dependent life insurance. Six declined and there was no response from thirteen. The proposers were Aetna, AC Newman, Fort Dearborn, Lincoln Financial, Minnesota Life, and Unimerica. Upon receipt and review of the proposals, Holmes Murphy worked with City staff to determine the top three—Aetna,Fort Dearborn and Lincoln Financial. Upon further negotiation and clarification, Fort Dearborn and Lincoln Financial were eliminated from consideration. Neither was able to match all current benefits nor contract language required from the City,such as portability,actively-at-work, and existing AD&D provisions. After final negotiations, Aetna lowered their original basic life renewal rate per$1000 from$0.14 to $0.13 and lowered their voluntary life/AD&D rate from $0.25 to $0.24. Attached for your:review is a pricing analysis of the proposals. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funds are available for this expenditure in the Employee Benefits Fund.

As a condition to participating in a system agreement, each operating company has to be put in roughly the same position as the rest of the operating companies so that each company enters the agreement on equal terms and no company has any advantage relative to the others. One factor in the equalization of the operating companies is the relative cost of producing energy. Basically,those operating companies who can produce energy at lower costs make payments to those operating companies that require higher costs for the production of energy. This adjustment is done through what is called the"Entergy Service Schedule MSS-3." After making these adjustments,the production costs for each Entergy operating company should be roughly the same. Currently, there is one case before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) involving EGSI that will affect the rates of Texas customers in which Cities should intervene. In December of 2005, FERC: issued an order in a case filed by the Louisiana Public Service Commission regarding the rough production cost equalization allocation. FERC determined that the Entergy system was no longer in rough production cost equalization and revised the method for determining such allocations. Under the resulting calculation, Entergy Arkansas is to pay an estimated$293 million to $385 million per year to the other Entergy operating companies. In 2005, the yearly payment to EGSI for 2006 forward was estimated to be in the range of$196 million to $264 million. The current case before FERC was filed pursuant to the above-referenced order to determine the rates that will result from the FERC's previous decision. Among the issues Cities have a stake in are the allocation of these payments among the Entergy operating companies and the allocation of EGSI's share of the payments between Texas and Louisiana customers. On January 23,2007,by Resolution No.07-025,the City Council authorized participation with other Entergy service area cities in matters concerning Entergy-Gulf States,Inc.,before the Public Utility Commission of Texas. This authority,however, does not provide for participation with the Cities' Steering Committee in matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. This action is a request for authority to participate with the Cities' Steering Committee representing Entergy service area cities in matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. BUDGETARYIMPACT All reasonable expenses associated with rate matters will be reimbursable by the company as they have been in the past. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT,TEXAS,AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION WITH OTHER ENTERGY SERVICE AREA CITIES IN MATTERS CONCERNING ENTERGY GULF STATES, INC., AT THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION FILED IN 2007 AND 2008. WHEREAS, Entergy Gulf States' (EGSI) implementation of customer choice has been delayed due to lack of competition; lack of independent market structures and organizations in its service territory to implement fair competition; and because EGSI's ability to control the market in its region has not been evaluated, EGSI will continue to be regulated; and WHEREAS, cases filed at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regarding EGSI could have a substantial impact on the rates charged to Texas customers and the effective regulation of EGSI's rates by Texas regulatory authorities; and WHEREAS, Cities have a duty to set fair and reasonable rates for both the Company and ratepayers within Cities; WHEREAS, Cities have exclusive original jurisdiction over rates, operations and services of an electric utility in areas in the municipality pursuant to Tex.Util.Code§33.001; WHEREAS, Cities have standing to intervene in each case before FERC that relates to an electric utility providing service in the municipality pursuant to 18 Code of Federal Regulations 385.214; and WHEREAS, EGSI is currently involved in a proceeding before FERC regarding the rates to be charged following a FERC decision to adjust Service Schedule MSS-3 to equalize rough production costs between the Entergy Operating Companies; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS, THAT: Section 1. The City of Beaumont shall participate with other Cities to intervene at FERC in EGSI's various rate filings related to the Entergy Service Schedule and for any proceeding at FERC affecting the base rate charged to Texas customers or any transition to competition proceedings. The City of Beaumont shall participate with other Cities to intervene in proceedings at the FERC on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008 concerning EGSI. All such actions shall be taken pursuant to the direction of the Cities' Steering Committee. Cities' Steering Committee shall have authority to retain rate consultants and lawyers. Cities' Steering Committee shall direct the actins of Cities' representatives in the above proceedings. Section 2. This resolution shall be effective from and after the date of its passage.

City Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Max S. Duplant, Chief Financial Officer. MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 27, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street in the amount of$81,400 to CST Environmental, Inc. of Houston. BACKGROUND The structure at 320 College Street, known as the Waldman Smallwood Building, was damaged during Hurricane Rita. City staff identified the structure as being in need of repair in June 2006. Council deferred the issue to the property owner in September 2006 allowing time to consider repair options. In December 2006, Council issued an order to the owner to raze or repair the structure within 150 days. On July 23, 2007, City staff inspected the property and found no repairs had been completed by the property owner. New structural cracks had formed on the north end of the building and the brick facade was in imminent danger of collapse. Rain was the probable cause of the continued shifting of the structure.There was also evidence that people were accessing the interior of the building.The structure had become a public;hazard and required immediate demolition. State of Texas statutes provide an exemption to competitive bidding if the procurement is necessary to preserve or protect public health and safety. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funds are available for this expenditure in the FY 2007 General Fund Budget. A lien in the amount of the cost of demolition will be filed against the property on which the building was located. RESOLUTION NO. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the City Council hereby approves payment in the amount of $81,400 to CST Environmental, Inc.,of Houston,Texas,for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street as shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.

Duplant, Chief Financial Officer 11 i1 MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 18, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: City Council, after conducting a public hearing, consider a resolution to tax tangible personal property in transit which would otherwise be exempt pursuant to the Texas Tax Code, section 11.253. RECOMMENDATION The administration requests approval of a resolution to tax tangible personal property in transit which would otherwise be exempt pursuant to the Texas Tax Code, section 11.253. BACKGROUND House Bill 621,which takes effect January 1,2008,amends the Tax Code and the Government Code to add an exemption from ad valorem taxation for "goods-in-transit". The exemption applies to tangible personal property that is acquired in or imported into Texas, detained at a location in Texas in which the property owner does not have a direct or indirect ownership interest, used for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing, or fabricating purposes, and transported to another location in Texas or out of state not later than 175 days after the property was acquired in or imported into Texas. "Goods-in-transit" does not include oil, natural gas, petroleum products, or any types of equipment to which special inventory taxes apply such as automobiles, mobile homes, heavy equipment, etc. Local taxing units may elect: not to participate in the exemption. However, in order to do so, the taxing unit must hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution to continue taxing"goods-in-transit". BUDGETARY IMPACT Because this is a new exemption, the potential loss in revenue due to the exemption cannot be estimated. However, based on conversations with the Jefferson County Appraisal District, it is anticipated that a significant reduction in ad valorem taxes and industrial payments could result if the exemption is allowed. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT TO TAX TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY IN TRANSIT WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BE EXEMPT PURSUANT TO TEXAS TAX CODE, SECTION 11.253. WHEREAS, the 80" Texas Legislature in Regular Session has enacted House Bill 621 to take effect on January 1, 2008, which added Tex. Tax Code §11.253 to exempt from taxation certain tangible personal property held temporarily at a location in this state for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing or fabricating purposes (goods-in- transit) which property has been subject to taxation in the past; and WHEREAS, Tex. Tax Code §11.2530) as amended allows the governing body of a taxing unit, after conducting a public hearing, to provide for the continued taxation of such goods-in-transit; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Beaumont, having conducted a public hearing as required by Section 1-n(d),Article VIII, Texas Constitution, is of the opinion that it is in the best interest of the City to continue to tax such goods-in-transit; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the goods-in-transit, as defined by Tex. Tax Code 11.253(a)(2), as amended by House Bill 621, enacted by the 801h Texas Legislature in Regular Session, shall remain subject to taxation by the City, of Beaumont.

Upon further negotiation and clarification, Fort Dearborn and Lincoln Financial were eliminated from consideration. Neither was able to match all current benefits nor contract language required from the City,such as portability,actively-at-work, and existing AD&D provisions.

(EGSI), service area cities to intervene in proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008 concerning EGSI ...,,, City Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Tyrone E. Cooper, City AttornexxL--;- MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 26, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution authorizing the participation of the City of Beaumont with other Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., service area cities to intervene in proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008 concerning EGSI. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends the adoption of a resolution authorizing the City of Beaumont to participate with other Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., service area cities to intervene in proceedings concerning EGSI before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008. BACKGROUND Entergy-Gulf States,Inc. (EGSI), as well as the other Entergy operating companies such as Entergy Arkansas, Inc., Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Inc., and Entergy New Orleans, Inc., operates as a single unit under the Entergy system agreement. The system agreement governs the rights and duties among the Entergy operating companies. As a condition to participating in a system agreement, each operating company has to be put in roughly the same position as the rest of the operating companies so that each company enters the agreement on equal terms and no company has any advantage relative to the others. One factor in the equalization of the operating companies is the relative cost of producing energy. Basically,those operating companies who can produce energy at lower costs make payments to those operating companies that require higher costs for the production of energy. This adjustment is done through what is called the"Entergy Service Schedule MSS-3." After making these adjustments,the production costs for each Entergy operating company should be roughly the same. Currently, there is one case before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) involving EGSI that will affect the rates of Texas customers in which Cities should intervene. In December of 2005, FERC: issued an order in a case filed by the Louisiana Public Service Commission regarding the rough production cost equalization allocation. FERC determined that the Entergy system was no longer in rough production cost equalization and revised the method for determining such allocations. Under the resulting calculation, Entergy Arkansas is to pay an estimated$293 million to $385 million per year to the other Entergy operating companies. In 2005, the yearly payment to EGSI for 2006 forward was estimated to be in the range of$196 million to $264 million. The current case before FERC was filed pursuant to the above-referenced order to determine the rates that will result from the FERC's previous decision. Among the issues Cities have a stake in are the allocation of these payments among the Entergy operating companies and the allocation of EGSI's share of the payments between Texas and Louisiana customers. On January 23,2007,by Resolution No.07-025,the City Council authorized participation with other Entergy service area cities in matters concerning Entergy-Gulf States,Inc.,before the Public Utility Commission of Texas. This authority,however, does not provide for participation with the Cities' Steering Committee in matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. This action is a request for authority to participate with the Cities' Steering Committee representing Entergy service area cities in matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. BUDGETARYIMPACT All reasonable expenses associated with rate matters will be reimbursable by the company as they have been in the past. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT,TEXAS,AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION WITH OTHER ENTERGY SERVICE AREA CITIES IN MATTERS CONCERNING ENTERGY GULF STATES, INC., AT THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION FILED IN 2007 AND 2008. WHEREAS, Entergy Gulf States' (EGSI) implementation of customer choice has been delayed due to lack of competition; lack of independent market structures and organizations in its service territory to implement fair competition; and because EGSI's ability to control the market in its region has not been evaluated, EGSI will continue to be regulated; and WHEREAS, cases filed at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regarding EGSI could have a substantial impact on the rates charged to Texas customers and the effective regulation of EGSI's rates by Texas regulatory authorities; and WHEREAS, Cities have a duty to set fair and reasonable rates for both the Company and ratepayers within Cities; WHEREAS, Cities have exclusive original jurisdiction over rates, operations and services of an electric utility in areas in the municipality pursuant to Tex.Util.Code§33.001; WHEREAS, Cities have standing to intervene in each case before FERC that relates to an electric utility providing service in the municipality pursuant to 18 Code of Federal Regulations 385.214; and WHEREAS, EGSI is currently involved in a proceeding before FERC regarding the rates to be charged following a FERC decision to adjust Service Schedule MSS-3 to equalize rough production costs between the Entergy Operating Companies; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS, THAT: Section 1. The City of Beaumont shall participate with other Cities to intervene at FERC in EGSI's various rate filings related to the Entergy Service Schedule and for any proceeding at FERC affecting the base rate charged to Texas customers or any transition to competition proceedings. The City of Beaumont shall participate with other Cities to intervene in proceedings at the FERC on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008 concerning EGSI. All such actions shall be taken pursuant to the direction of the Cities' Steering Committee. Cities' Steering Committee shall have authority to retain rate consultants and lawyers. Cities' Steering Committee shall direct the actins of Cities' representatives in the above proceedings. Section 2. This resolution shall be effective from and after the date of its passage. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 2"d day of October, 2007. - Mayor Becky Ames - ATTEST: City Secretary APPROVED AS TO FORM: 5 October 2, 2007 Consider approving a payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street ...... City Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Max S. Duplant, Chief Financial Officer. MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 27, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street in the amount of$81,400 to CST Environmental, Inc. of Houston. BACKGROUND The structure at 320 College Street, known as the Waldman Smallwood Building, was damaged during Hurricane Rita. City staff identified the structure as being in need of repair in June 2006. Council deferred the issue to the property owner in September 2006 allowing time to consider repair options. In December 2006, Council issued an order to the owner to raze or repair the structure within 150 days. On July 23, 2007, City staff inspected the property and found no repairs had been completed by the property owner. New structural cracks had formed on the north end of the building and the brick facade was in imminent danger of collapse. Rain was the probable cause of the continued shifting of the structure.There was also evidence that people were accessing the interior of the building.The structure had become a public;hazard and required immediate demolition. State of Texas statutes provide an exemption to competitive bidding if the procurement is necessary to preserve or protect public health and safety. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funds are available for this expenditure in the FY 2007 General Fund Budget. A lien in the amount of the cost of demolition will be filed against the property on which the building was located. RESOLUTION NO. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the City Council hereby approves payment in the amount of $81,400 to CST Environmental, Inc.,of Houston,Texas,for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street as shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.

Duplant, Chief Financial Officer 11 i1 MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 18, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: City Council, after conducting a public hearing, consider a resolution to tax tangible personal property in transit which would otherwise be exempt pursuant to the Texas Tax Code, section 11.253. RECOMMENDATION The administration requests approval of a resolution to tax tangible personal property in transit which would otherwise be exempt pursuant to the Texas Tax Code, section 11.253. BACKGROUND House Bill 621,which takes effect January 1,2008,amends the Tax Code and the Government Code to add an exemption from ad valorem taxation for "goods-in-transit". The exemption applies to tangible personal property that is acquired in or imported into Texas, detained at a location in Texas in which the property owner does not have a direct or indirect ownership interest, used for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing, or fabricating purposes, and transported to another location in Texas or out of state not later than 175 days after the property was acquired in or imported into Texas. "Goods-in-transit" does not include oil, natural gas, petroleum products, or any types of equipment to which special inventory taxes apply such as automobiles, mobile homes, heavy equipment, etc. Local taxing units may elect: not to participate in the exemption. However, in order to do so, the taxing unit must hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution to continue taxing"goods-in-transit". BUDGETARY IMPACT Because this is a new exemption, the potential loss in revenue due to the exemption cannot be estimated. However, based on conversations with the Jefferson County Appraisal District, it is anticipated that a significant reduction in ad valorem taxes and industrial payments could result if the exemption is allowed. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT TO TAX TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY IN TRANSIT WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BE EXEMPT PURSUANT TO TEXAS TAX CODE, SECTION 11.253. WHEREAS, the 80" Texas Legislature in Regular Session has enacted House Bill 621 to take effect on January 1, 2008, which added Tex. Tax Code §11.253 to exempt from taxation certain tangible personal property held temporarily at a location in this state for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing or fabricating purposes (goods-in- transit) which property has been subject to taxation in the past; and WHEREAS, Tex. Tax Code §11.2530) as amended allows the governing body of a taxing unit, after conducting a public hearing, to provide for the continued taxation of such goods-in-transit; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Beaumont, having conducted a public hearing as required by Section 1-n(d),Article VIII, Texas Constitution, is of the opinion that it is in the best interest of the City to continue to tax such goods-in-transit; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the goods-in-transit, as defined by Tex. Tax Code 11.253(a)(2), as amended by House Bill 621, enacted by the 801h Texas Legislature in Regular Session, shall remain subject to taxation by the City, of Beaumont.

Neither was able to match all current benefits nor contract language required from the City,such as portability,actively-at-work, and existing AD&D provisions. After final negotiations, Aetna lowered their original basic life renewal rate per$1000 from$0.14 to $0.13 and lowered their voluntary life/AD&D rate from $0.25 to $0.24.

(EGSI), service area cities to intervene in proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008 concerning EGSI ...,,, City Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Tyrone E. Cooper, City AttornexxL--;- MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 26, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution authorizing the participation of the City of Beaumont with other Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., service area cities to intervene in proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008 concerning EGSI. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends the adoption of a resolution authorizing the City of Beaumont to participate with other Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., service area cities to intervene in proceedings concerning EGSI before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008. BACKGROUND Entergy-Gulf States,Inc. (EGSI), as well as the other Entergy operating companies such as Entergy Arkansas, Inc., Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Inc., and Entergy New Orleans, Inc., operates as a single unit under the Entergy system agreement. The system agreement governs the rights and duties among the Entergy operating companies. As a condition to participating in a system agreement, each operating company has to be put in roughly the same position as the rest of the operating companies so that each company enters the agreement on equal terms and no company has any advantage relative to the others. One factor in the equalization of the operating companies is the relative cost of producing energy. Basically,those operating companies who can produce energy at lower costs make payments to those operating companies that require higher costs for the production of energy. This adjustment is done through what is called the"Entergy Service Schedule MSS-3." After making these adjustments,the production costs for each Entergy operating company should be roughly the same. Currently, there is one case before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) involving EGSI that will affect the rates of Texas customers in which Cities should intervene. In December of 2005, FERC: issued an order in a case filed by the Louisiana Public Service Commission regarding the rough production cost equalization allocation. FERC determined that the Entergy system was no longer in rough production cost equalization and revised the method for determining such allocations. Under the resulting calculation, Entergy Arkansas is to pay an estimated$293 million to $385 million per year to the other Entergy operating companies. In 2005, the yearly payment to EGSI for 2006 forward was estimated to be in the range of$196 million to $264 million. The current case before FERC was filed pursuant to the above-referenced order to determine the rates that will result from the FERC's previous decision. Among the issues Cities have a stake in are the allocation of these payments among the Entergy operating companies and the allocation of EGSI's share of the payments between Texas and Louisiana customers. On January 23,2007,by Resolution No.07-025,the City Council authorized participation with other Entergy service area cities in matters concerning Entergy-Gulf States,Inc.,before the Public Utility Commission of Texas. This authority,however, does not provide for participation with the Cities' Steering Committee in matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. This action is a request for authority to participate with the Cities' Steering Committee representing Entergy service area cities in matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. BUDGETARYIMPACT All reasonable expenses associated with rate matters will be reimbursable by the company as they have been in the past. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT,TEXAS,AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION WITH OTHER ENTERGY SERVICE AREA CITIES IN MATTERS CONCERNING ENTERGY GULF STATES, INC., AT THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION FILED IN 2007 AND 2008. WHEREAS, Entergy Gulf States' (EGSI) implementation of customer choice has been delayed due to lack of competition; lack of independent market structures and organizations in its service territory to implement fair competition; and because EGSI's ability to control the market in its region has not been evaluated, EGSI will continue to be regulated; and WHEREAS, cases filed at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regarding EGSI could have a substantial impact on the rates charged to Texas customers and the effective regulation of EGSI's rates by Texas regulatory authorities; and WHEREAS, Cities have a duty to set fair and reasonable rates for both the Company and ratepayers within Cities; WHEREAS, Cities have exclusive original jurisdiction over rates, operations and services of an electric utility in areas in the municipality pursuant to Tex.Util.Code§33.001; WHEREAS, Cities have standing to intervene in each case before FERC that relates to an electric utility providing service in the municipality pursuant to 18 Code of Federal Regulations 385.214; and WHEREAS, EGSI is currently involved in a proceeding before FERC regarding the rates to be charged following a FERC decision to adjust Service Schedule MSS-3 to equalize rough production costs between the Entergy Operating Companies; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS, THAT: Section 1. The City of Beaumont shall participate with other Cities to intervene at FERC in EGSI's various rate filings related to the Entergy Service Schedule and for any proceeding at FERC affecting the base rate charged to Texas customers or any transition to competition proceedings. The City of Beaumont shall participate with other Cities to intervene in proceedings at the FERC on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008 concerning EGSI. All such actions shall be taken pursuant to the direction of the Cities' Steering Committee. Cities' Steering Committee shall have authority to retain rate consultants and lawyers. Cities' Steering Committee shall direct the actins of Cities' representatives in the above proceedings. Section 2. This resolution shall be effective from and after the date of its passage. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 2"d day of October, 2007. - Mayor Becky Ames - ATTEST: City Secretary APPROVED AS TO FORM: 5 October 2, 2007 Consider approving a payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street ...... City Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Max S. Duplant, Chief Financial Officer. MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 27, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street in the amount of$81,400 to CST Environmental, Inc. of Houston. BACKGROUND The structure at 320 College Street, known as the Waldman Smallwood Building, was damaged during Hurricane Rita. City staff identified the structure as being in need of repair in June 2006. Council deferred the issue to the property owner in September 2006 allowing time to consider repair options. In December 2006, Council issued an order to the owner to raze or repair the structure within 150 days. On July 23, 2007, City staff inspected the property and found no repairs had been completed by the property owner. New structural cracks had formed on the north end of the building and the brick facade was in imminent danger of collapse. Rain was the probable cause of the continued shifting of the structure.There was also evidence that people were accessing the interior of the building.The structure had become a public;hazard and required immediate demolition. State of Texas statutes provide an exemption to competitive bidding if the procurement is necessary to preserve or protect public health and safety. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funds are available for this expenditure in the FY 2007 General Fund Budget. A lien in the amount of the cost of demolition will be filed against the property on which the building was located. RESOLUTION NO. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the City Council hereby approves payment in the amount of $81,400 to CST Environmental, Inc.,of Houston,Texas,for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street as shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.

Duplant, Chief Financial Officer 11 i1 MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 18, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: City Council, after conducting a public hearing, consider a resolution to tax tangible personal property in transit which would otherwise be exempt pursuant to the Texas Tax Code, section 11.253. RECOMMENDATION The administration requests approval of a resolution to tax tangible personal property in transit which would otherwise be exempt pursuant to the Texas Tax Code, section 11.253. BACKGROUND House Bill 621,which takes effect January 1,2008,amends the Tax Code and the Government Code to add an exemption from ad valorem taxation for "goods-in-transit". The exemption applies to tangible personal property that is acquired in or imported into Texas, detained at a location in Texas in which the property owner does not have a direct or indirect ownership interest, used for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing, or fabricating purposes, and transported to another location in Texas or out of state not later than 175 days after the property was acquired in or imported into Texas. "Goods-in-transit" does not include oil, natural gas, petroleum products, or any types of equipment to which special inventory taxes apply such as automobiles, mobile homes, heavy equipment, etc. Local taxing units may elect: not to participate in the exemption. However, in order to do so, the taxing unit must hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution to continue taxing"goods-in-transit". BUDGETARY IMPACT Because this is a new exemption, the potential loss in revenue due to the exemption cannot be estimated. However, based on conversations with the Jefferson County Appraisal District, it is anticipated that a significant reduction in ad valorem taxes and industrial payments could result if the exemption is allowed. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT TO TAX TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY IN TRANSIT WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BE EXEMPT PURSUANT TO TEXAS TAX CODE, SECTION 11.253. WHEREAS, the 80" Texas Legislature in Regular Session has enacted House Bill 621 to take effect on January 1, 2008, which added Tex. Tax Code §11.253 to exempt from taxation certain tangible personal property held temporarily at a location in this state for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing or fabricating purposes (goods-in- transit) which property has been subject to taxation in the past; and WHEREAS, Tex. Tax Code §11.2530) as amended allows the governing body of a taxing unit, after conducting a public hearing, to provide for the continued taxation of such goods-in-transit; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Beaumont, having conducted a public hearing as required by Section 1-n(d),Article VIII, Texas Constitution, is of the opinion that it is in the best interest of the City to continue to tax such goods-in-transit; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the goods-in-transit, as defined by Tex. Tax Code 11.253(a)(2), as amended by House Bill 621, enacted by the 801h Texas Legislature in Regular Session, shall remain subject to taxation by the City, of Beaumont.

Neither was able to match all current benefits nor contract language required from the City,such as portability,actively-at-work, and existing AD&D provisions. After final negotiations, Aetna lowered their original basic life renewal rate per$1000 from$0.14 to $0.13 and lowered their voluntary life/AD&D rate from $0.25 to $0.24.

(EGSI), service area cities to intervene in proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008 concerning EGSI ...,,, City Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Tyrone E. Cooper, City AttornexxL--;- MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 26, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution authorizing the participation of the City of Beaumont with other Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., service area cities to intervene in proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008 concerning EGSI. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends the adoption of a resolution authorizing the City of Beaumont to participate with other Entergy-Gulf States, Inc., service area cities to intervene in proceedings concerning EGSI before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008. BACKGROUND Entergy-Gulf States,Inc. (EGSI), as well as the other Entergy operating companies such as Entergy Arkansas, Inc., Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Inc., and Entergy New Orleans, Inc., operates as a single unit under the Entergy system agreement. The system agreement governs the rights and duties among the Entergy operating companies. As a condition to participating in a system agreement, each operating company has to be put in roughly the same position as the rest of the operating companies so that each company enters the agreement on equal terms and no company has any advantage relative to the others. One factor in the equalization of the operating companies is the relative cost of producing energy. Basically,those operating companies who can produce energy at lower costs make payments to those operating companies that require higher costs for the production of energy. This adjustment is done through what is called the"Entergy Service Schedule MSS-3." After making these adjustments,the production costs for each Entergy operating company should be roughly the same. Currently, there is one case before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) involving EGSI that will affect the rates of Texas customers in which Cities should intervene. In December of 2005, FERC: issued an order in a case filed by the Louisiana Public Service Commission regarding the rough production cost equalization allocation. FERC determined that the Entergy system was no longer in rough production cost equalization and revised the method for determining such allocations. Under the resulting calculation, Entergy Arkansas is to pay an estimated$293 million to $385 million per year to the other Entergy operating companies. In 2005, the yearly payment to EGSI for 2006 forward was estimated to be in the range of$196 million to $264 million. The current case before FERC was filed pursuant to the above-referenced order to determine the rates that will result from the FERC's previous decision. Among the issues Cities have a stake in are the allocation of these payments among the Entergy operating companies and the allocation of EGSI's share of the payments between Texas and Louisiana customers. On January 23,2007,by Resolution No.07-025,the City Council authorized participation with other Entergy service area cities in matters concerning Entergy-Gulf States,Inc.,before the Public Utility Commission of Texas. This authority,however, does not provide for participation with the Cities' Steering Committee in matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. This action is a request for authority to participate with the Cities' Steering Committee representing Entergy service area cities in matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. BUDGETARYIMPACT All reasonable expenses associated with rate matters will be reimbursable by the company as they have been in the past. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT,TEXAS,AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION WITH OTHER ENTERGY SERVICE AREA CITIES IN MATTERS CONCERNING ENTERGY GULF STATES, INC., AT THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION FILED IN 2007 AND 2008. WHEREAS, Entergy Gulf States' (EGSI) implementation of customer choice has been delayed due to lack of competition; lack of independent market structures and organizations in its service territory to implement fair competition; and because EGSI's ability to control the market in its region has not been evaluated, EGSI will continue to be regulated; and WHEREAS, cases filed at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regarding EGSI could have a substantial impact on the rates charged to Texas customers and the effective regulation of EGSI's rates by Texas regulatory authorities; and WHEREAS, Cities have a duty to set fair and reasonable rates for both the Company and ratepayers within Cities; WHEREAS, Cities have exclusive original jurisdiction over rates, operations and services of an electric utility in areas in the municipality pursuant to Tex.Util.Code§33.001; WHEREAS, Cities have standing to intervene in each case before FERC that relates to an electric utility providing service in the municipality pursuant to 18 Code of Federal Regulations 385.214; and WHEREAS, EGSI is currently involved in a proceeding before FERC regarding the rates to be charged following a FERC decision to adjust Service Schedule MSS-3 to equalize rough production costs between the Entergy Operating Companies; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS, THAT: Section 1. The City of Beaumont shall participate with other Cities to intervene at FERC in EGSI's various rate filings related to the Entergy Service Schedule and for any proceeding at FERC affecting the base rate charged to Texas customers or any transition to competition proceedings. The City of Beaumont shall participate with other Cities to intervene in proceedings at the FERC on file in 2007 or to be filed in 2008 concerning EGSI. All such actions shall be taken pursuant to the direction of the Cities' Steering Committee. Cities' Steering Committee shall have authority to retain rate consultants and lawyers. Cities' Steering Committee shall direct the actins of Cities' representatives in the above proceedings. Section 2. This resolution shall be effective from and after the date of its passage. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 2"d day of October, 2007. - Mayor Becky Ames - ATTEST: City Secretary APPROVED AS TO FORM: 5 October 2, 2007 Consider approving a payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street ...... City Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Max S. Duplant, Chief Financial Officer. MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 27, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends payment for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street in the amount of$81,400 to CST Environmental, Inc. of Houston. BACKGROUND The structure at 320 College Street, known as the Waldman Smallwood Building, was damaged during Hurricane Rita. City staff identified the structure as being in need of repair in June 2006. Council deferred the issue to the property owner in September 2006 allowing time to consider repair options. In December 2006, Council issued an order to the owner to raze or repair the structure within 150 days. On July 23, 2007, City staff inspected the property and found no repairs had been completed by the property owner. New structural cracks had formed on the north end of the building and the brick facade was in imminent danger of collapse. Rain was the probable cause of the continued shifting of the structure.There was also evidence that people were accessing the interior of the building.The structure had become a public;hazard and required immediate demolition. State of Texas statutes provide an exemption to competitive bidding if the procurement is necessary to preserve or protect public health and safety. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funds are available for this expenditure in the FY 2007 General Fund Budget. A lien in the amount of the cost of demolition will be filed against the property on which the building was located. RESOLUTION NO. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the City Council hereby approves payment in the amount of $81,400 to CST Environmental, Inc.,of Houston,Texas,for emergency demolition services at 320 College Street as shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.

Duplant, Chief Financial Officer 11 i1 MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007 AGENDA MEMO DATE: September 18, 2007 REQUESTED ACTION: City Council, after conducting a public hearing, consider a resolution to tax tangible personal property in transit which would otherwise be exempt pursuant to the Texas Tax Code, section 11.253. RECOMMENDATION The administration requests approval of a resolution to tax tangible personal property in transit which would otherwise be exempt pursuant to the Texas Tax Code, section 11.253. BACKGROUND House Bill 621,which takes effect January 1,2008,amends the Tax Code and the Government Code to add an exemption from ad valorem taxation for "goods-in-transit". The exemption applies to tangible personal property that is acquired in or imported into Texas, detained at a location in Texas in which the property owner does not have a direct or indirect ownership interest, used for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing, or fabricating purposes, and transported to another location in Texas or out of state not later than 175 days after the property was acquired in or imported into Texas. "Goods-in-transit" does not include oil, natural gas, petroleum products, or any types of equipment to which special inventory taxes apply such as automobiles, mobile homes, heavy equipment, etc. Local taxing units may elect: not to participate in the exemption. However, in order to do so, the taxing unit must hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution to continue taxing"goods-in-transit". BUDGETARY IMPACT Because this is a new exemption, the potential loss in revenue due to the exemption cannot be estimated. However, based on conversations with the Jefferson County Appraisal District, it is anticipated that a significant reduction in ad valorem taxes and industrial payments could result if the exemption is allowed. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT TO TAX TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY IN TRANSIT WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BE EXEMPT PURSUANT TO TEXAS TAX CODE, SECTION 11.253. WHEREAS, the 80" Texas Legislature in Regular Session has enacted House Bill 621 to take effect on January 1, 2008, which added Tex. Tax Code §11.253 to exempt from taxation certain tangible personal property held temporarily at a location in this state for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing or fabricating purposes (goods-in- transit) which property has been subject to taxation in the past; and WHEREAS, Tex. Tax Code §11.2530) as amended allows the governing body of a taxing unit, after conducting a public hearing, to provide for the continued taxation of such goods-in-transit; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Beaumont, having conducted a public hearing as required by Section 1-n(d),Article VIII, Texas Constitution, is of the opinion that it is in the best interest of the City to continue to tax such goods-in-transit; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the goods-in-transit, as defined by Tex. Tax Code 11.253(a)(2), as amended by House Bill 621, enacted by the 801h Texas Legislature in Regular Session, shall remain subject to taxation by the City, of Beaumont.
