The Honorable Mayor and City Council:
I am pleased to submit the 1995 Annual Operating Budget for the City of Beaumont,
Texas.
The Budget has been prepared in accordance with provisions of the City Charter and has
been reviewed by Council at workshops and at a public hearing held on August 30, 1994.
The 1995 budget provides for planned expenditures, net of contingency appropriations, for
all operating funds totaling $114,418,200.
Highlights of the major operating funds are as follows:
GENERALFUND
The General fund is used to account for most of the current day-to-day operations of the
City which are financed from property taxes and other general revenues. Activities
financed by the General Fund include those of all line and staff departments within the
City, except for activities of the special revenue and proprietary fund types. In fiscal year
1994 General Fund revenues showed a slight increase of 1.6% from fiscal year 1993
levels. For fiscal year 1995, total revenues are projected to reach $55.7M, an increase of
$2.3M, or 4.4%, over revenues estimated for fiscal year 1994 and is primarily due to the
anticipated increase in industrial payments.
The four major General Fund revenue sources are discussed as follows:
Sales and Use Tax - This is the largest single source of revenue for the General Fund
representing 38.6% of total estimated revenues. Revenue generated by the sales tax is
very responsive to the prevailing economy, especially fluctuations in consumer income and
spending. Improving economic conditions are responsible for the 3.4% growth experienced
in fiscal year 1994. An increase of $632,000, or 3% is expected for fiscal year 1995 based
on the trend of continued growth in our local economy.
Property Tax - The annual revenue generated by this source is the product of the property
tax rate established by the legislative body and assessed on the appraised value of
property throughout the community. Property tax revenues account for 20.4%, or $11 AM
of fiscal year 1995 estimated revenues. This represents an increase of approximately 1%
P. 0 . Box 3827 Beaumont, Texas 77704
over fiscal year 1994 levels and is related to a very slight increase in the appraised
property value. The current property tax rate of $.615/$100 assessed valuation will be
maintained for fiscal year 1995. The tax rate dedicated to general operations is $.35/$100
assessed valuation and the rate dedicated to debt service is $.265/$100 assessed
valuation.
Industrial Payments - Industrial payments are collected from companies located outside
the City's taxing jurisdiction for the use of the infrastructure. The payments are negotiated
contractually based on the assessed value of each company, and as such generate
revenue much like a property tax. Revenues generated from this source are expected to be
approximately $8.75M or 15.7% of total estimated revenues. This reflects an increase of
$17M, or 24% over fiscal year 1994 totals and is contingent on current contract
negotiations.
Gross Receipts/Utility In-Lieu - These revenue sources generate 16.4% of the total
General Fund revenues. Gross receipts taxes are paid by local private utility companies for
use of public right-of-way. These rates are contractually. determined based on a
percentage of the gross receipts received annually by the individual companies. Two City
enterprise activities, water and solid waste, make utility payments in lieu of taxes. These
payments are similar to the gross receipts tax paid by local utilities in that they are based
on revenue derived by that activity. A net increase of 1% is expected in these two revenue
sources for fiscal year 1995. This is a combination of a 3% increase in Gross Receipts Tax
and a 6.2% decrease for Utility In-Lieu payment. The major fluctuation experienced in the
Utility In-Lieu payment is a result of policy change at the landfill which substantially
reduced the operating revenues from which the payment is calculated. Further discussion
of this change can be found in the Solid Waste Management Fund section of this letter.
Expenditures
Expenditures for operations in fiscal year 1995 are expected to total $55.7M, an increase
of $17M, or 3% over those estimated for fiscal year 1994. Approximately 80% of this
increase is related to personnel costs. The budget is based on full employment of current
authorized positions with salary adjustments of 3% for all eligible full-time employees and
includes five new positions in the Parks and Recreation Department to be added mid-year
for staffing the new Magnolia Recreation Center.
General operating costs for fiscal year 1995 increased by approximately $347,000, or
2.7% from fiscal year 1994 estimates. This increase relates primarily to inflation with no
significant programs included.
DEBT SERVICE FUND
Revenues for Debt Service are expected to reach $9.3M, which is an increase of $488,000
over fiscal year 1994 estimates. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the
transfer from the HUD Section 108 Loan Fund to cover the first of two principal payments
for the U. S. Government Guarantee Notes.
Expenditures of $9.5M represents a $671,900 increase from fiscal year 1994- A portion of
this increase is related to the payment of the U. S. Government Guarantee Notes cited
above. The remainder of the increase is due to the anticipated interest payment related to
the proposed issuance of $6M in certificates of obligation, the proceeds of which will be
used for capital improvements. Beginning in fiscal year 1996 debt service requirements will
increase, requiring additional property taxes to be dedicated to this fund.
WATER UTILITIES FUND
Revenues in the Water Utilities Fund are expected to total $17.5M, an increase of
approximately 2%, or $372,300 over fiscal year 1994 estimated levels. This is primarily
attributable to the state and county prisons that came on-line during fiscal year 1994 and
are now fully operational.
Expenditures are budgeted at $17.3M for fiscal year 1995, which is an increase of $1.1 M,
or 6.8% over fiscal year 1994 levels. Approximately $500,000 of the increase is related to
the much needed replacement of heavy equipment and fleet assets. Other increases are
related to salary adjustments and the debt service associated -with the issuance of
additional funds from the $20M state revolving fund bonds which provide funding for water
and sewer improvement projects.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT FUND
Revenues are expected to total $6.3M for fiscal year 1995. This represents a decrease of
$1.6M, or 19.7°/x. A policy change, implemented mid-fiscal year 1994, restricting the solid
waste accepted at the landfill by commercial haulers is responsible for this decrease.
Fiscal year 1994 revenues were also down 15.7% from fiscal year 1993 levels. The effect
of lost revenues necessitates the inclusion of a recycling fee to recover the cost of
curbside recycling. Although the fee was included in the fiscal year 1995 revenues,
implementation is contingent upon Council approval.
Fiscal year 1995 expenditures are expected to decrease $3M, or 32%, which is due to the
policy change at the landfill as previously discussed, as well as the reduction in the in-lieu
payment made to ,the General Fund. Additionally, the initial transfer to set up a capital
improvements fund was made in fiscal year 1994 and will not be required in fiscal year
1995.
Respectfully submitted,
Ray �. Riley
City Manager

POLICE DEPARTMENT
NARRATIVE
The Beaumont Police Department's primary responsibility is to provide the city law enforcement and
public safety in a way that advances and preserves democratic values. While encompassing
federal, state and city laws and regulations, the department is organized to respond in both a
proactive, as well as the traditional reactive manner. The department seeks input from citizens and
neighborhoods to further the understanding of the crime problems of an area. Meaningful
cooperative solutions can be developed from this community involvement.
The department is structured into three divisions; Administrative, Field Operations and Criminal
Investigation.
The Administrative Division handles general administrative activities of planning and research,
training and procurement. A five-member community relations unit is included in the division that
operates the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistant Education) program in the Beaumont Public Schools.
These officers are an integral part of the war on drugs through direct contact with school students
during their early formative years. Other programs in this area are the Adopt-A-Cop program in city
elementary schools, Neighborhood Watch programs and summer youth service and recreational
programs. At the end of the last fiscal year, an additional officer was added to the department to
provide a school liaison officer to assist in providing a safe learning environment for children. These
programs are mostly funded through the department's operating budget, however, contributions from
various individuals, civic and business organizations provide additional funding for the community
relations programs.
The Field Operations Division is the largest division in the department. The major activity of this
division involves officers on patrol. In July of 1993 the department adopted the community oriented
policing strategy in order to establish closer contact and better relationships between officers on
patrol and the communities they serve. The patrol operations are now divided into three
enforcement zones. Each zone is commanded by a captain who is responsible for all patrol
operations in that zone. A c.antralized command station provides support services for all three
zones. However, each zone has a "substation" manned by citizen volunteers to provide greater
access for citizens. During the year eight officers were added to the department through the Federal
Government for a Public Housing Officer Unit. This effort will work to reduce gangs/drug problems in
public housing by placing officers in these areas to promote alternate activities and programs.
The Criminal Investigations division manages the investigation of criminal cases and the operation of
specialized investigative units. The narcotic's interdiction unit was augmented last fiscal year
through a grant that enables the department to participate in the Jefferson County Narcotics Task
Force. A Regional Auto Theft Task Force was also funded by a grant in 1993, and is administered
by the division. The unit targets auto theft violators at every level, concentrating its efforts in those
areas believed to have the greatest potential impact on area auto thefts, with emphasis on organized
theft rings, street gang related auto thefts and repeats and habitual offenders.

PUBLIC SAFETY
NARRATIVE
The Public Safety Department combines several activities related to the safety of the community.
These functions include fire and rescue services, emergency medical services, animal control and
the operation of the fire training facility and State Fire Museum.
The Fire Department's objective is to preserve human life and property and minimize casualties and
loss through rapid and effective response to emergency situations. The department administers
comprehensive and effective fire prevention and suppression activities. This is accomplished with
dedicated and trained individuals staffing eleven fire stations strategically located throughout the
city.
Suppression personnel undergo extensive and continuing training in firefighting methods, first aid
and rescue techniques. Special teams have been established to handle hazardous materials,
underwater rescue and high-rise and heavy duty rescue situations. The firefighting force is also
trained for quick response and the use of techniques and extinguishing agents appropriate for the
types of fires encountered in an industrialized urban community. In addition to these suppression
duties, the department also performs the following functions:
The Prevention function promotes fire safety by inspecting for fire hazards, enforcing fire
codes, educating the public with programs and conducting demonstrations and drills.
The Communication's staff is responsible for receiving all emergency calls and efficiently
dispatching the proper equipment and personnel. All calls relative to Emergency Medical
Services are dispatched through the Communications Division. This division also maintains
all fire alarm systems throughout the city.
The Arson function focuses on deliberately set fires through investigation of suspected arson
cases and enforcement of applicable laws and ordinances.
Unlike other City departments, the Fire Department maintains its own fleet, including all fire trucks,
automobiles and specialized equipment used in firefighting.
The department is able to boast the most extensive Fire Museum in the area including a model
home and safety center used to teach children fire safety. The Fire Training Grounds Facility
operates on funds it generates from courses in specialized industrial and municipal firefighting
techniques. A significant number of firefighters came from outside this area to participate in these
training classes.
The Emergency Medical Services Division operates three licensed mobile intensive care units that
provide the city with the highest standards of pre-hospital emergency care available. EMS units
respond to 9,000 calls per year.
The Animal Control division patrols the city to eliminate nuisances and threats to public health that
may result from animals running at large. Responsibilities of this division include enforcement of a
leash law requiring confinement of dogs to the owner's premises, as well as stray animal
impoundment and carcass removal from streets and right of ways.

PUBLIC WORKS
NARRATIVE
The Public Works Department is responsible for the functional integrity of the City's street,
drainage and transportation systems. The department provides proper planning, design and
maintenance of the City's major infrastructure improvements to ensure the smooth and
efficient flow of traffic. The department also directs the operations of the Beaumont
Municipal Transit System. These tasks are accomplished through the combined efforts of
the Engineering, Streets and Drainage and Transportation divisions.
Engineering is responsible for the acquisition of land, design and construction of capital
improvement projects involving streets, bridges and drainage systems. The division reviews,
inspects and approves all subdivision and commercial/industrial site development plans to
ensure compliance with the City's specifications and codes. Engineering updates and
maintains the various maps and files of all city-owned properties and right-of-ways,
inter-local agreements for engineering and construction projects between the City and the
Texas Department of Transportation, Drainage District No. 6 and Jefferson County are
managed through this division. The division issues permits for barricading, seismographic
work and street cuts within City ROW for utility construction or repai°r. The Engineering staff
also oversees the construction of driveways within the limits of the ROW after initial permit is
issued by the Building Codes Division. This division provides survey work for departments
and divisions within the City organization. Engineering also strives to ensure compliance
with newly enforced federal regulations relevant to environmental issues such as the Clean
Water Act through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting
process.
Streets and Drainage is responsible for the maintenance of the City's right of ways. The
division is currently organized into three groups: Streets, Drainage and Right-of-Way
Maintenance. This responsibility covers 651 miles of streets (involving 311 miles of asphalt
streets; 297 miles of concrete streets; 87 miles of concrete streets with an asphalt overlay;
and 43 miles of roads that do not have an improved riding surface such as dirt, shell or
caliche); a drainage ditch system over 840 miles in length and approximately 20,000 catch
basins. ROW maintenance (vegetation eradication) is accomplished by tree trimming and
removal; mowing; and herbicide treatment. Additionally, this division also provides services
for other activities within the City organization.
Transportation is responsible for the overall management and control of vehicular and
pedestrian traffic within the City. To handle these responsibilities, the division is organized
into two sections: Engineering and Operations. The Engineering section is charged with
traffic studies and design of traffic related improvements; downtown parking enforcement;
the school crossing guard program- responses to citizen requests; signal timing plan
development; and plan review. The Operations section of Transportation focuses on
pavement marking; signal maintenance and construction; and the fabrication, installation and
repair of traffic signs. Another function of this division is the maintenance of freeway lighting
throughout the city. Additionally, Transportation provides technical expertise and
assistance to local entities such as the Beaumont Police Department; the Beaumont
Independent School District and the Texas Department of Transportation.

PARKS AND RECREATION
NARRATIVE
IN
The Parks and Recreation Department ensures that leisure oriented facilities and programs
are developed and conducted throughout the community. The department oversees the
operation and maintenance of all park properties and facilities including pools, playgrounds,
community centers and athletic fields.
The Parks Division is responsible for (39) tracts of property encompassing over 1,576 acres.
Maintenance includes grounds, equipment, tree and plant material, litter and debris removal.
Area parks are continually reviewed for redevelopment to meet the growing needs of the
community. In FY94 over $1.5 million was allocated for park improvements. Improvements
included covered group picnic shelters, drinking fountains, covered hard surface areas,
landscaping, drainage improvements, jogging trails, exercise stations, lighting, creative
playground, fencing, nature trails and tennis court resurfacing/stripping.
The development of Halbouty, Lefler, Colliers Ferry parks and the Magnolia Recreation
Center will highlight park improvements in FY95.
The Recreation Division promotes athletic and team activities for all ages utilizing the park
facilities and community centers. The Athletic Complex provides nine lighted softball fields
for the spring and fall league seasons coordinated by this division. Approximately 200 teams
participate annually with over 50,000 players registered during both seasons. Eight tennis
courts in the complex provide facilities for area tennis buffs as well as 25 other courts in
smaller parks. The Henry Homberg 18-Hole Golf Course, Frisbee Golf Course, Garden
Center and Riding Stables, located in Tyrrell Park are other important recreation attractions
offered by this division.
The Recreation Division also operates the Best Years Senior Center, offering over 50
activities specifically designed for senior citizens. Billiards, dominos, bridge, special holiday
events as well as fitness and health activities are just a few things provided to keep the
seniors active in the community. The entertainment they provide with performances by the
Happy Steppers Dance group, the Line Dancers and the Bar-B-Square square dancers is
just one way the community sees a return on the investment in its senior citizens.
An ever growing need to keep children and teenagers 'off the streets" has prompted the
Recreation Division to provide many coordinated activities in most area parks. The summer
food service program, provided through the Department of Agriculture, remained basically
the same in FY94 servicing over 38,000 meals to kids at several park locations. From
athletic activities such as basketball, track, dancing and exercise to entertainment activities
such as Neighbors in the Park, Concerts in the Park and increased summer youth programs,
the recreational needs of the community are being met with an unconditional commitment to
the future.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
NARRATIVE
The Solid Waste Management Department is charged with the responsibility of managing
solid waste for the City of Beaumont. Functions include:
• Once a week collection of residential garbage, recyclables and containerized green
waste.
• Twice a month collection of bulky items, trash and large loose green waste.
• Operation of a full scale composting facility.
• Operation of a Type I Sanitary Landfill.
• Administration of other waste reduction programs.
During FY94 Federal Sub-Title "D" Landfill Regulations became effective that imposed more
stringent criteria to address ground water protection and other environmental issues.
Implementation of the new regulations will dramatically increase the cost of operating
landfills. Restriction requirements have reduced the landfill's disposal area by 50% creating
the need for the city to reserve the remaining space for waste generated inside the city limits.
Our integrated waste management programs continue to gain recognition throughout the
state and are considered by the State's regulatory agency to be a model program for other
communities to follow.
FY95 will present new challenges, particular in the waste reduction and disposal arenas.
The department will continue to meet these challenges in an efficient and professional
manner while always striving to provide the highest level of services to the citizens of
Beaumont at the most economical cost.
