6. Consider a resolution establishing and taking a record vote on the proposed 2012 tax rate
(FY 2013) and schedule public hearings.
Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with truth-in-taxation
laws in adopting their tax rate. According to Senate Bill 18, governing bodies are required
to hold two public hearings when the proposed tax rate exceeds the lower of the rollback
rate or the effective rate. In accordance with Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code, if the
proposed rate exceeds the lower of the rollback rate of$0.687572 or the effective tax rate
of$0.636401, the City Council must take a record vote to place the proposal to adopt the
rate on the agenda of a future meeting. The effective tax rate is the rate that would
produce the same amount of taxes in FY 2013 as was produced in FY 2012 if it was
applied to the same properties taxed in both years. The proposed tax rate of$0.64,which
is the current tax rate, exceeds the effective tax rate of$0.636401 by $0.003599. If the
motion passes,two public hearings must be scheduled. It is recommended that the public
hearings be held on August 28, 2012 and September 11, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. in the Council
Chambers.
Mayor Pro Tern Coleman made a motion to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE TAX RATE OF
$0.64 BE AND IT IS HEREBY PROPOSED. Councilmember Wright seconded the motion.

WORK SESSION
* Review and discuss final draft maps and authorization for drafting of ordinance
on final electoral wards redistricting map
Minutes—August 14,2012
Alan Bojorquez, with Bojorquez Law Firm discussed the final draft maps and authorization for
drafting of an Ordinance on final electoral wards redistricting map. Mr. Bojorquez went over all of
the existing maps A through E, based on the redistricting criteria approved by the City Council to
guide the redistricting process. Mr. Bojorquez also stated that the map that was submitted by a
citizen was reviewed and he would not at this time be able to recommend the map due to it
drawing a present Councilmember out of his Ward. He stated that all of the Draft Maps are similar
in that they do not deviate significantly from the existing Ward boundaries and are generally
compact and make use of contiguous territory. In all maps, an effort has been made to balance
the total number of persons in each ward and create a plan that does not exceed the 10% Total
Maximum Deviation (TMD), avoids retrogression by retaining majority minority Black populations
in Wards 3 and 4 and to not fragment a geographically compact minority community or pack
minority voters in the presence of polarized voting. The Council took a consensus of which map
they would like an Ordinance to be prepared for their consideration. Two Councilmembers were
in favor of Map D and four Councilmembers were in favor of Map C.

Public Comments (Persons are limited to three minutes)
Tiffany Smith 2410 Louisiana St. Beaumont TX
Spoke to Council regarding in-home day care, stated that as it was understood that an
Operating Permit, a Special Use Permit and a Fire Permit were all that was needed to run
an in-home day care, asked that Council keep in mind the children, stated if the in-home
day care is not in violation of the eight criteria that were set forth in the Ordinance,why are
they limited to five, what is the difference between five and twelve, it's the ability for the
provider to make ends meet which is very important, we hope that the importance of the
work that we do is not lost to Council, we hope that we don't have to keep going through
this continued upheaval that seems to come out of the permitting office,simple clarification
in writing as to exactly which permits are needed for in home day care would be the
solution to this, the City of San Antonio as well as hundreds of other cities across the
nation provide some form of application and or documentation to this affect, this would
save time and tax payers' dollars
Shukiz Brown 1450 W. Lucas Dr. Beaumont TX
Stated that she owns and operates Ms. Nikki's Child Care here in the City of Beaumont,
stated that she has applied for a Special Use Permit to operate her home day care which is
licensed and registered with the State of Texas to keep a maximum of 12 children, the
State does require that she count her own three kids in the ratio anytime they are in the
home which means that she will only have a maximum of 9 kids, she came to the City's
Planning and Zoning as a starting point before going to the State to register and getting
any inspection or making any updates to her home, she was told by the Planning and
Zoning department that all she had to do was get a fire inspection in which she did, was
told that as long as she operated with five kids or less a Special Use Permit was not
needed, after three weeks in operation a Planning and Zoning inspector showed up at her
door stating that a complaint was received by her neighbor that she had too many kids in
her care, at the time the inspector showed up at her door she only had four kids and
herself, later she received a call from the City of Beaumont stating she would need to apply
for a Special Use Permit which was not needed before the complaint was launched, her
request at this time is that her Special Use Permit be issued based on her meeting the
zoning ordinance
