TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer
MEETING DATE: March 30, 2010
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider approving a resolution to write-off
uncollectible delinquent accounts.
RECOMMENDATION
The administration requests approval of a resolution to write-off uncollectible delinquent
accounts totaling $249,163.17 for which each individual account exceeds $1,000.00.
BACKGROUND
This request is in accordance with the write-off policy approved by City Council on December
21, 1999. The policy gives Council the final authority to write-off an individual account
receivable identified as uncollectible when the balance due exceeds $1,000.00. All accounts
included are for transactions between 2005 and 2008 and collection efforts have been
unsuccessful. A summary by receivable type is shown below.
1. Demolition Charges - $1,059.47
The original charge for this demolition occurred prior to November 1998 at which time a
payment plan was initiated. The payment plan charges were sent to the collection agency
for collection efforts for more than one year.
2. EMS Ambulance Charges - $192,687.81
These charges from ambulance transports include uninsured claims or co-pay and
deductibles that the customer should be responsible for. The original charge dates range
from 2005 to 2008 and accounts have been uncollectible for at least one year.
3. Retiree Insurance Charges - $2,392.90
These charges are for two retirees and were incurred in 2008. Insurance could not be
cancelled retroactively, so collection was pursued through other means to no avail. The
retirees are no longer participating in the retiree insurance program.
Write-offs Over $1000
March 30, 2010
Page 2
4. Solid Waste Franchise Charges - $36,000.00
Solid Waste Franchise fees are calculated as a percentage of sales and are reported to the
City by the companies. These charges were from a company resulting from an audit and
were sent to a collection agency but the company has gone out of business.
5. Weed Abatement Charges - $17,022.99
Charges included in this total were sent to the collection agency in 2007 and 2008. These
accounts are difficult to collect because of limited owner information.
If at any time an account becomes collectible after having been written off,the receivable of the
City shall be adjusted accordingly. The balance of the account shall be reinstated and payments
shall be applied to that balance.

PREPARED BY: Christopher S. Boone, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: March 30, 2010
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider authorizing the City Manager to apply for
and receive an additional $296,282 in Neighborhood
Stabilization funding to help redevelop neighborhoods
through demolition and redevelopment of single-family
homes.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval.
BACKGROUND
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) is a HUD-funded program authorized by the
"Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008" (HERA), as a supplemental allocation to the
Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Program. The purpose of the program is to
acquire and encourage redevelopment of foreclosed, abandoned and blighted properties in order
to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of house values of neighboring homes. This
program offers a variety of eligible activities, including offering refinancing mechanisms for
foreclosed properties, demolition of properties and establishing land banks for foreclosed
properties.
Currently,the City has been awarded a total of$1,185,129 to purchase, rehabilitate and resell
nine (9)homes ($1,004,800) and demolish approximately fifty (50) unsafe and abandoned
structures ($121, 073) within the target area near Beaumont Housing Authority's Hope VI
projects. The balance of funds, $59,256, would be used for the administrative costs associated
with the program. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA)has
indicated that the City is eligible for an additional $296,282 for the NSP program. If awarded,
these funds would be used for asbestos abatement for the demolished homes ($125,000) and
construction of two (2) infill homes for sale ($171,282).
BUDGETARYIMPACT
None. Funds would be available through this grant, with no required local match.
RESOLUTION NO.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT:
THAT Kyle Hayes, City Manager, be and he is hereby authorized to apply for, represent
and execute a contract in an amount up to $296,282 through the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program, a reimbursement program provided by the Texas Department of
Housing and Community Affairs.

TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer`
MEETING DATE: March 30, 2010
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider amending Chapter 13, Sections 13-16 and
13-17 of the Code of Ordinances establishing health fees
and waiver of fees.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends Council amend Chapter 13, Section 13-16, of the Code of
Ordinances, to increase various health fees and to clarify who is to charge the fees, and amend
Section 13-17 to further clarify the waiver of fees.
BACKGROUND
The City Staff has been conducting a city-wide fee review. Health fees were last amended in
March 2007. A survey of the fees of other municipalities including Pt. Arthur, Orange County,
Hardin County, Baytown, Galveston, Austin, Waco and Abilene concluded that the STD fees,
immunization fees, fees for additional copies of death certificates and the fee for the food
manager's course needed to be increased in order to be comparable to other municipal health
clinics. In addition, there are two new fees that will be implemented which include a charge for
replacement immunization records and a fee for additional notary signatures. Birth certificate and
death certificate fees are established by the State of Texas.

During FY 2009,the Police Department began management of the Animal Control Division.
Animal control fees are included in Section 13-17 which states, "The Beaumont Health
Department is hereby authorized to charge fees for services..." This section should be amended
to read, "The City of Beaumont is hereby authorized to charge fees for services..."to give
authority for the fee to be charged by the City regardless of what department is responsible for
assessing the fee.
Finally, Section 13-17 allows the STD fees established in Section 13-16 to be "waived by the
director of the health department upon proof by the patient that such patient is unable to pay such
fee." This section does not allow the director to discount the fees if the patient can make a partial
payment but not the full payment. In FY 2009, STD fees for 1,632 patients were fully waived,
which amounts to 43%of all patients seeking STD treatment. This section should be amended to
read, "The STD treatment fees established in Section 13-16 herein may be discounted or fully
waived by the director of the department of health upon proof by the patient that such patient is
unable to pay such fee."
BUDGETARYIMPACT
The total increase in revenue generated by the higher health fees is approximately $53,982 on an
annual basis. At this time the amount of revenue that will be generated by allowing the Director
of Health to discount fees rather than fully waiving them cannot be determined, but it is
anticipated that the number of full waivers will decrease.
