City Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer
MEETING DATE: February 26, 2008
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute
an interlocal agreement with the North Central Texas
Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for the purpose of
contracting with the company that NCTCOG has awarded
for joint actuarial services in order to assist the city in
complying with the requirements of the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number
45 (GASB 45).
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends Council authorize the City Manager to execute an interlocal
agreement with the NCTCOG for the purpose of contracting with the company that NCTCOG
has awarded for joint actuarial services in order to assist the city in complying with the
requirements of GASB 45.
BACKGROUND
The (GASB) develops the standards for state and local governmental accounting and financial
reporting. GASB 45 is a new standard which requires governmental entities with 200 or more
employees, active and retired, and their dependents who are eligible for post employment
benefits to have an actuarial valuation at least biennially for Other Post Employment Benefits
Plans (OPEB) other than pensions. OPEB includes healthcare, life insurance and other benefits,
other than pensions, which are taken after the employees' services have ended. In current
practice most OPEB plans are financed on a pay-as-you-go basis, and financial statements
generally do not report the financial effect of OPEB until the promised benefits are paid. GASB
45 will require the recognition of OPEB costs over a period that approximates employees' years
of service and will provide information about actuarial accrued liabilities for promised benefits
and whether and to what extent progress is being made in funding the plan. GASB 45 reporting
requirements will be effective for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.

117LJ1J City Council Agenda Item
� c
TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer
MEETING DATE: February 26, 2008
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider the award of contract for reconstruction of
homes damaged by Hurricane Rita.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends the award of a contract for the reconstruction of owner-occupied
housing units to Norwood Builders, Inc. of Missouri City, Texas for a total amount of
$932,554.00.
BACKGROUND
The Housing Division of the Public Works Department identifies single family homes that are
eligible for federal grant funding allocated to the Texas Department of Housing and Community
Affairs(TDHCA)Disaster Program from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development to remediate the unmet housing needs of Beaumont residents resulting from
Hurricane Rita. These homes are identified through either a pre-application process or by a
review of Federal Emergency Management Agency, City, and/or County information concerning
the damage caused by the hurricane. The TDHCA Hurricane Rita Disaster Recovery Program
requires that these housing units meet minimum property standards and local health and safety
codes at project completion. The type of activity being completed determines the minimum
construction standards that must be met.
Bids were solicited from five(5)construction contractors for the reconstruction of owner-
occupied housing units. The bids included reconstruction of the home with an additional bid for
an alternate tub/shower unit if the homeowner requires an ADA unit to allow them to walk or roll
into the shower. The reconstruction will be managed by George E. Johnson Development, Inc. of
Houston and the City's Housing Division.
Bids were received from four(4) contractors for thirteen(13) properties. Norwood Builders Inc.
was the low bidder on each location. The attached worksheet details all bids received.

Consider approving a contract for mowing privately owned developed and vacant properties in
violation of weed ordinances
.VOW-Ar.
City Council Agenda Item
' c
TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer
MEETING DATE: February 26, 2008
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider the award of a contract for mowing
privately owned developed and vacant properties in
violation of weed ordinances.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends the award of an annual contract to Yardboy Lawncare of Beaumont
for mowing privately owned developed and vacant properties for the unit prices stated in the
attached tabulation resulting in the estimated annual cost of$110,710.00.
BACKGROUND
Privately owned properties are in violation of the City's weed ordinance when uncultivated
growth exceeds twelve (12)inches. Property owners are notified of the violation and given a
specified time to bring the property into compliance. If property owners fail to comply with the
ordinance, the City's contractor mows the property and the property owner is fined.
Bids were solicited for an annual contract to provide this mowing service for the Public Health
Department, Code Enforcement Division. Specifications requested a minimum price for cutting
properties 6,500 square feet or less in size, a second price per square foot for properties greater
than 6,500 square feet but less than an acre, and a third price per acre for properties greater than
one (1) acre. The majority of the properties are standard size lots between 6,500 and 8,500
square feet. Bids received are detailed on the attached tabulation.
The apparent low bid was rejected due to prior performance by the vendor. Perfect Cut was
awarded this bid in March, 2007. In May, 2007 the contract with Perfect Cut was terminated due
to several infractions. The remaining term of that contract was fulfilled by Yardboy and another
vendor on a rotation basis.
The contract will be managed by the Code Enforcement Division. The contractor will be given a
list of properties to mow each day. All properties will be inspected by the representatives in the
Mowing Contract- Privately Owned Properties

Code Enforcement Division prior to payment to ensure compliance with the specifications.
BUDGETARYIMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the Public Health Department, Code Enforcement Division operating budget to cover
the estimated annual cost of$110,710.
