REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a
contract with Lamar University for the lease of space in the
Downtown Public Library located at 801 Pearl Street.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval.
BACKGROUND
Downtown is the historic, cultural and entertainment center of the city. City staff and
representatives of Lamar University have a desire for the University to have a presence in the
Central Business District. Lamar is excited about the revitalization efforts occurring downtown
which adds to the quality of life for its students, and the City of Beaumont is supportive of efforts
and projects that attract additional people to downtown venues. As a result, Lamar plans to lease
the bottom floor of the Downtown Library to offer continuing education programs to the public
and to relocate their Small Business Development Center.
The lease agreement is for a period of five years. Lamar would pay the City $75.00 per month as
rent and be responsible for their cost of utilities (water, electricity, heating, garbage) based on the
prorated square footage of the leased premises. Lamar would also be responsible for janitorial
services related to their lease space. The proposed lease agreement is attached for your review.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Annual rent of $900.00 will be received.

REQUESTED ACTION: Council to consider a request for an amended specific use
permit to allow the expansion of a medical office in an RM -
H (Re .,idential Multiple Family Dwelling -Highest Density)
District at 4229 Eastex Freeway.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval of the amended specific use permit subject to the
following condition:
The building shall meet all building code requirements and shall be securely fixed
to a permanent foundation.
BACKGROUND
Dr. John Webb, representing Beaumont Medical Clinic, has applied for an amended specific use
permit.
In August, 1986, City Council approved a specific use permit to allow a parking lot on the
subject property. The parking lot was to serve the Medi -Quick Medical Care Centers medical
office that was located at 5220 Eastex Freeway. At that time, the property was also rezoned to
RM -H.
Beaumont Medical Clinic, the current tenant, has moved a 2,016 sq. ft. portable commercial
building onto a portion of the rear parking lot to augment the existing medical practice. A
building permit was applied for on July 3, 2007. The building had been moved to its present
location approximately seven days prior to the permit application.
Dr. Webb states that the building will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. A 7' tall wood
screening fence exists along the north property line and a portion of the east property line. Staff
has been informed that the building will be at this location for two years. However, windstorm
requirements require that the building be placed on a permanent foundation.
With the placement of the building, the parking lot is being re -arranged to accommodate 39
parking spaces. Twenty-two parking spaces are required for the existing building and the new
addition.
At a Joint Public Hearing held August 17, 2009, the Planning Commission recommended
approval 6:0 of an amended specific use permit subject to the following condition:
The building shall meet all building code requirements and shall be securely fixed
to a permanent foundation.

MEETING DATE:

REQUESTED ACTION: Consider adopting an ordinance approving the institution of
a Cost of Service Adjustment rate schedule by Centerpoint
Energy Entex which provides for an annual rate cost of
service and rate base adjustment based upon the Company's
annual cost data.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of an ordinance approving the institution of a cost of
service adjustment rate schedule by Centerpoint Energy Entex which provides for an annual cost
of service and rate base adjustment based upon the annual cost data of the Company.
BACKGROUND
During the process of negotiating the Centerpoint gas franchise, Centerpoint and City
representatives negotiated the proposed cost of service adjustment for the municipal regulation of
the rates of Centerpoint within the City of Beaumont. The proposal before the City would allow
the annual rate setting process to occur at the City level and caps the annual change in rates at 5%
of the previous year's customer charge. Under the proposed rate making formula, the Company's
rates would be adjusted annually to account for any increase or decrease in the Utility's cost of
service. Calculation of the rate adjustment will be based upon calendar year operating expenses,
return on investment, and Texas franchise tax. The calendar year operating expenses shall be
those reported to the Railroad Commission of Texas in the annual report of the Company.
Centerpoint would be required to file with the City each year and adjust it rates up or down
depending on the last year's cost of service. The annual filing by Centerpoint would not become
effective unless approved by the City. The City can approve in part, in total or deny in total any
rate change request which retains to the City all regulatory oversight.

WHEREAS, the City of Beaumont, Texas ("City") is a gas utility customer of
CenterPoint Energy Entex ("CenterPoint" or the Company"), and a regulatory authority
with an interest in the rates and charges of CenterPoint; and
WHEREAS, within thirty (30) days after passage, CenterPoint intends to file with
the City a new tariff whereby gas utility charges within the City may be adjusted without
the need to file a Statement of Intent pursuant to Subchapter C of the Texas Utilities
Code (Vernon 2007);
WHEREAS, CenterPoint has also requested approval to amortize over a three-
year period the increase in pension and benefits expense experienced by CenterPoint
in 2009 as reflected in FERC Account 926 and the adjustments contemplated by the
new tariff ;
WHEREAS, the attached tariff provides for an expedited and less expensive rate
review process than the current Statement of Intent process; and
WHEREAS, the attached tariff implements a mechanism to adjust gas utility
charges in a manner that is just, reasonable, and in the public interest;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE

part, or denied.

increase in its pension and benefits expense experienced in 2009, as reflected in FERC
Account No. 926, is approved.
Section 5. That this Ordinance shall become effective from and after its
passage.
Section 6. That to the extent any resolution or ordinance previously adopted
by the Council is inconsistent with this Ordinance, it is hereby repealed.

things conducted in strict compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas
Government Code, Chapter 551.
Section 8. That a copy of this Ordinance shall be sent to the Company, care of
Denise Hardcastle at CenterPoint Energy, P.O. Box 2628, Houston, Texas 77252-2628.
Section 9. That, if any provision, section, subsection, sentence, clause, or
phrase of this Ordinance, or the application of same to any person or set of
circumstances, is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, void or invalid, the validity
of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or their application to other persons or sets
of circumstances shall not be affected thereby, it being the intent of the City Council in
adopting this Ordinance that no portion hereof or provision or regulation contained
herein shall become inoperative or fail by reason of any unconstitutionality, voidness or
invalidity of any other portion hereof, and all provisions of this Ordinance are declared to

A. APPLICABILITY
This Cost of Service Adjustment Clause applies to the Residential Service, General Service - Small, and General
Service - Large Volume rate schedules of CenterPoint Energy Texas Gas currently in force in the Company's
Beaumont -East Texas Division' service area. All rate calculations under this tariff shall be made on a Beaumont -
East Texas Division system wide basis. If, through the implementation of the provisions of this mechanism, it is
determined that rates should be decreased or increased, then rates will be adjusted accordingly in the manner set
forth herein. The rate adjustments implemented under this mechanism will reflect annual changes in the Company's
cost of service and rate base as computed herein. This Rate Schedule No. COSA-4 is authorized for an initial
implementation period of three (3) years commencing with the Company's filing under this rate schedule for the
calendar year 2009, effective August 1, 2010, and ending with the implementation of the rate adjustment, if any, for
the calendar year 2011, effective August 1, 2012; and shall automatically renew for successive three year periods
unless either the Company or the regulatory authority having original jurisdiction gives written notice to the
contrary to the other by February 1, 2012, or February 1, of the third filing year of any succeeding three year

class on a division -wide basis as of August 1 of the previous calendar year. If the effective date of the
COSA is different from August 1, then the calculation of the revenue change shall be calculated as of the
effective date of the COSA.
The formula to calculate the Cost of Service Adjustment is:
(C.1 Operating Expenses + C.2 Return on Investment + C.3 Texas Franchise Tax - Actual non -Gas (as
adjusted) and Other Revenues) _ (1 - Texas Franchise Tax statutory rate)*
* Currently, the Texas Franchise Tax statutory rate is I%.
C.5 Cost of Service Adjustment Rate
The Cost of Service Adjustment as calculated in Section CA will be allocated among the customer classes
in the same manner as the cost of service was allocated among classes of customers in the Company's latest
effective rates for the Beaumont -East Texas Division. The cost of service adjustment for each customer
class will then be converted into a per -customer per -month amount to produce the Cost of Service
Adjustment Rate. The per customer adjustment will be the Cost of Service Adjustment as allocated to that
class, divided by the average number of gas sales customers in each class for the Beaumont -East Texas
Division as reported in the Company's annual report to the Railroad Commission of Texas. The Cost of
Service Adjustment Rate will be this per customer adjustment amount divided by 12 to produce a monthly
adjustment amount, either an increase or decrease, which will be included in the Residential Service,
General Service - Small, and General Service - Large Volume customer charges. Any change in the Cost of
Service Adjustment shall not exceed an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Customer Charge
effective for service in the Beaumont -East Texas Division at the end of the calendar year immediately
preceding the year in which the Cost of Service Adjustment is made.
In order to meet Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
reporting requirements, the Company shall record its best estimate of the total amount to be collected
through the Cost of Service Adjustment so as to reflect in its books and records a fair representation of
actual earnings for that year. Such estimate shall not be included in the computation of the Cost of Service
Adjustment.
C.6 Attestation
A sworn statement shall be filed by the Company's Chief Accounting Officer of CenterPoint Energy Texas
Gas Operations, affirming that the filed schedules are in compliance with the provisions of this tariff and
are true and correct to the best of his/her knowledge, information, and belief. No testimony shall be filed.
C.7 Proof of Revenues
The Company shall also provide a schedule demonstrating the "proof of revenues" relied upon to calculate
the proposed cost of service adjustment rate. The proposed rates shall conform as closely as practicable to
the revenue allocation principles in effect prior to the adjustment.

BACKGROUND
The Charter of the City of Beaumont gives to the City Council authority to grant and renew
franchises of all public utilities operating within the City of Beaumont. Ordinance No. 88-64

franchise expired in June of 2008. Since that time City representatives have been negotiating
with Centerpoint Energy Texas Gas Operations, successor in interest to Entex, for the renewal of
a franchise to continue its operations in Beaumont. The proposed franchise provides for a term
of operations for 25 years, providing for a payment by the Company to the City based upon four
percent (4%) of the gross receipts from the sale of gas within the city limits and seven cents
($.07) per MCF for the transportation of gas to transportation customers within the corporate
limits of the city for consumption within the city. The fees will be calculated for the calendar
quarters ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and shall be payable on or
before the 15th day of May, August, November and February following the quarter for which
payment is due.
Ordinances granting franchises requires three (3) readings at separate regular meetings of the
City Council and shall not be considered finally passed until the third reading which shall not be
less than thirty (30) days from the first reading. The ordinance will not take effect until sixty (60)
days after its adoption on the third and final reading.

Grantee and its contractors shall give Grantor reasonable advance notice, of the dates,
location and nature of all work to be performed on its Facilities within the Public Rights -of -Way..
While Grantee and Grantee's Contractors must secure all permits that may be required, Grantee or
Grantee's Contractor shall not be required to pay any fee in addition to the franchise fee in order to
perform work on Grantee's facilities within the public right-of-way, or park within the streets and
other public rights-of-way. Grantee's property shall be so constructed and maintained as not to
interfere unreasonably with traffic over the public thoroughfares of said municipality and the same
shall be laid in accordance with the lines, grades, and conditions established by Grantor. Following
completion of work in the Public Rights -of -Way, Grantee shall repair the affected Public
Rights -of -Way as soon as possible, but in all cases Grantee shall comply with all City ordinances
governing time periods and standards relating to excavating in the Public Rights -of -Way. No street,
alley, highway or public place shall be encumbered for a longer period than shall be necessary to
execute the work.
Section 6.
Grantee shall not be required to run or extend any pipe a distance exceeding one hundred
(100) feet, not to exceed a diameter of two (2) inches, in order to bring gas service to the property
line of each additional customer.
Section 7.
The service furnished hereunder by Grantee to the Grantor and its inhabitants shall be in
accordance with the quality of service rules of the Railroad Commission of Texas and all other
applicable local, state and federal regulations. Grantee shall furnish the grade of service to its
customers as provided by its rate schedules and shall maintain its system in reasonable operating
condition during the continuance of this Franchise. An exception to this requirement is automatically
in effect, but only for so long as is necessary, when caused by a shortage in materials, supplies and
equipment beyond the control of the Grantee as a result of fires, strikes, riots, storms, floods and
other casualties, governmental regulations, limitations and restrictions as to the use and availability
of materials, supplies and equipment and as to the use of the services, and unforeseeable and unusual
demands for service. In any of such events the Grantee shall do all things reasonably within its power
to restore normal service as quickly as practicable.
Section 8.
In consideration of the rights and privileges herein granted, after the effective date of this
ordinance, Grantee agrees to pay to Grantor quarterly during the continuance of this ordinance a
franchise fee equal to four percent (4%) of the Grantee's gross receipts for the preceding calendar
quarter received by the Grantee from the sale of gas within the corporate limits of the City of
Beaumont plus seven cents (7¢) per Mcf for natural gas transported by Grantee for its Transport
Customers during such quarter. "Transport Customer" means any person or entity for whom
Company transports gas through the distribution system of Company within the corporate limits of
City for consumption within the corporate limits of City. The franchise fees hereunder shall be
calculated for the calendar quarters ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 and
shall be payable on or before the fifteenth day of May, August, November, and February following
the quarter for which payment is made, beginning with the first such date following the Effective
Date of this Franchise and each August 15th, November 15th, February 15th, and May 15th
thereafter; provided, however, the first such payment shall be prorated as necessary to reflect only
those gross receipts received and transportation volumes delivered by Company after the Effective
Date of this Franchise. In no event shall the Company be required to remit to the City franchise fee
amounts that for any reason whatsoever are not fully recoverable from its customers. Upon receipt
of the above amount of money, the City Finance Officer shall deliver to the Company a receipt for
such amount. If any payment due date required therein falls on a weekend or bank holiday, payment
shall be made on or before the close of business of the first working day after the payment due date.
All payments to Grantor shall be accompanied by a certified statement of Grantee in a form
prescribed by Grantor. Upon receipt of such payments, the City Finance Officer shall deliver to the
Grantee a receipt for such amount.
Should Grantee fail to tender payment to Grantor within ten (10) days following the date
such payment is due, Grantee shall pay to Grantor, as a late payment penalty, an additional amount
equal to three percent (3%) of the amount otherwise payable to Grantor on such due date. The
consideration hereinabove set forth shall be paid and received in lieu of any license, charge, fee,
street or alley rental, or other character of charge for the use and occupancy for the streets, alleys and
public places within the city, and in lieu of any pipe tax or inspection fee or tax, but shall not in any
way increase or diminish Grantee's obligation to pay Grantor ad valorem taxes or in any way
interfere with the collection thereof.
Any special taxes, rentals or other charges accruing after the effective date of this ordinance,
under the terms of any preexisting ordinance, or imposed upon Grantee by subsequent action of
Grantor shall, when paid to Grantor, be applied as a credit to the amount owed to Grantor under the
terms of this franchise agreement.
Section 9.
Grantee shall keep complete and accurate books of accounts and records of its business and
operations under and in connection with this Franchise. All such books of accounts and records shall
be kept at Grantee's principal office in Houston, Texas.
Grantor may conduct an audit or other inquiry or may pursue a cause of action in relation to
the payment of the franchise fee only if such audit, inquiry, or pursuit of a cause of action concerns a
payment made less than three (3) years before the commencement of such audit, inquiry, or pursuit
of a cause of action. Each party shall bear its own costs of any such audit or inquiry. Upon receipt of
a written request from Grantor, all books and records related to Grantee's operations under this
Franchise shall be made available for inspection and copying no later than thirty (30) days from
receipt of such request.
Section 10.
If the Legislature of the State of Texas amends the ceiling on utility gross receipts payments
to municipalities established by Tex. Tax Code § 182.025, then Grantor may prospectively change the
percentage of Grantee's gross receipts payable to Grantor under Section 5 of this franchise to the
level established by such amendment; provided, however, that such change in the percentage of
Grantee's gross receipts payable to Grantor shall not become effective unless and until Grantor shall
have approved and authorized rate schedules acceptable to Grantee which will permit Grantee to
fully recover through its rates effective within the corporate limits of Grantor any increase in
amounts payable to Grantor resulting from such change.
Section 11.
GRANTEE, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SHALL PROTECT AND HOLD
GRANTOR AND ITS OFFICERS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES HARMLESS AGAINST
ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DEMANDS FOR DAMAGES TO ANY PERSON OR
PROPERTY BY REASON OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF
GRANTEE'S NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, OR IN ANY WAY GROWING

ACCRUE TO OR BE BROUGHT BY A PERSON, PERSONS, COMPANY OR COMPANIES
AT ANY TIME THEREAFTER BY REASON OF THE EXERCISE OF THE RIGHTS AND
PRIVILEGES HEREBY GRANTED, OR OF THE ABUSE THEREOF.
Section 12.
Grantee shall not prosecute or maintain any claims against Grantor or its employees for any
damage or injury to Grantee's pipelines or facilities resulting from Grantor's performance of work or
repairs upon city streets; provided, however, that the provisions hereof shall in no way limit
Grantee's right to prosecute or maintain any such claim against any person, association, or
corporation other than Grantor or its employees.
Section 13.
The Grantee shall, upon written request of the Grantor, relocate its Facilities within Public
Rights -of -Way at Grantee's own expense, exclusive of Facilities installed for service directly to
Grantor, whenever such shall be reasonably necessary on account of the widening, change of grade,
or relocation by Grantor of Streets or Public Rights -of -Way, or construction or relocation by Grantor
of City utility lines or drainage facilities. Grantor shall bear the costs of all relocations of Facilities
installed for service directly to Grantor and of any relocation of other Facilities requested by Grantor
for reasons other than the widening, change of grade, or relocation by Grantor of Streets or Public
Rights -of -Way, or construction or relocation by the Grantor of City utility lines or drainage facilities.
Section 14.
Grantor, by granting of this ordinance, does not surrender or to any extent lose, waive, impair
or lessen the lawful powers, claims and rights now or hereafter vested in Grantor under the
Constitution and statutes of the State of Texas and under the Charter of the City of Beaumont to
regulate public utilities within Grantor's city limits, to regulate the rates of public utilities within
Grantor's city limits and to regulate the use of the streets by Grantee; and Grantee, by its acceptance
of this ordinance, agrees that all lawful powers and rights, whether regulatory or otherwise, as are or
as may be from time to time vested in or reserved to Grantor, shall be in full force and effect and
subject to the exercise thereof by Grantor at any time and from time to time. All of the regulations
and activities required by this franchise are hereby declared to be governmental and for the health,
safety and welfare of the general public.
Section 15.
In the event Grantee, by act or omission, violates any term, condition or provision of this
ordinance, Grantor shall notify Grantee in writing of such violation. Grantee shall correct any such
violation within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice.
Should Grantee fail or refuse to correct any such violation within such thirty (30) day period,
Grantor may terminate this agreement by ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City of
Beaumont; provided, however, before any such ordinance is adopted. Grantee must be given at least
sixty (60) days advance written notice, which notice shall set forth the causes and reasons for the
proposed termination and cancellation, and shall advise the Grantee that it will be provided an
opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Beaumont regarding such proposed action
before any such action is taken and shall set forth the time, date and place of the hearing.
Other than its failure, refusal or inability to pay its debts and obligations, including,
specifically, the payments to Grantor required by this ordinance, Grantee shall not be declared in
default or be subject to any sanction under any provision of this ordinance in those cases in which
performance of such provision is prevented by reasons beyond its control; provided, however, that
such performance shall not be excused when based solely upon financial limitations of Grantee.
Section 16.
Subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions stated herein, within five (5) years of, but not
less than twelve (12) months before, the expiration of the term of this franchise, Grantor shall have
the option to purchase Grantee's distribution system within the corporate limits of Grantor. Grantor
must present Grantee with written notice of Grantor's intent to exercise its option to purchase the
franchised property. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice, Grantee shall make a written offer
(the "Offer") stating the cash price for the purchase and sale of said distribution system. Within
twenty (20) days of Grantor's receipt of the Offer, Grantor will submit written notice rejecting or
accepting the Offer. Should Grantor reject the Offer, Grantor and Grantee shall enter into good faith
negotiations to determine a cash price to be paid by Grantor for said distribution system. Failure of
Grantor and Grantee to agree on a cash price for Grantee's distribution system shall not constitute
grounds for termination or cancellation under Section 13 of this ordinance.
Should Grantor accept the Offer or should Grantee and Grantor reach an agreement on a cash
purchase price after good faith negotiations, Grantee shall not be required to sell or transfer said
distribution system to Grantor until the expiration of the term of this franchise or such earlier time as
may be mutually agreeable to Grantee and Grantor. The foregoing notwithstanding, Grantor shall not
purchase Grantee's distribution system until the matter of the acquisition of such property has
been submitted at a municipal election to be determined by a majority vote of the qualified taxpayers
voting therein.
Nothing in this franchise shall be construed as limiting or otherwise affecting Grantor's

Section 17.
Nothing herein contained shall ever be held or considered as conferring upon Grantee and its
successors and assigns any exclusive rights or privileges of any nature whatsoever.
Section 18.
This ordinance shall not be assigned by Grantee without the authorization and approval of
Grantor.
Section 19.
All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
Section 20.
Grantor and Grantee hereby acknowledge that all of the provisions hereof are the result of
negotiations between Grantor and Grantee. The provisions of this ordinance shall be constructed
fairly and reasonably and not more strictly against the party drafting such provisions than against the
non -drafting party.
Section 21.
This ordinance shall take effect and continue and remain in effect for a period of twenty-five
(25) years from and after the date which is sixty (60) days after the adoption and passage of this
franchise ordinance on third and final reading; provided Grantee files a written acceptance of this
franchise ordinance with Grantor within thirty (30) days after final passage of this franchise
ordinance.
Section 22.

reason held to be unconstitutional, void or invalid (or for any reason unenforceable), the validity of
the remaining portions of this ordinance shall not be affected thereby, it being the intent of Grantor in
adopting this ordinance that no portion hereof or provision or regulation contained herein shall
become inoperative or fail by reason of any
unconstitutionality or invalidity of any other portion, provision or regulation, and to this end, all
provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.

REQUESTED ACTION: Consider adopting the 2009 Drought Contingency Plan and
renewing the City's commitment to Chapter 28, Article III,
Section 28-59 of the Code of Ordinances.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends adopting the 2009 Water Conservation and Drought Contingency
Plan and renewing the City's commitment to Chapter 28, Article III, Section 28-59 of the Code
of Ordinances.
BACKGROUND
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requires a wholesale public water supplier that
holds a water right in the amount of 1,000 acre-feet or more for municipal use, and provides
water service to 3,300 or more connections to have an Ordinance for a Drought Contingency Plan
that should be renewed every 5 years. The plan must meet all of the minimum requirements as set
forth in the TCEQ rules, Title 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 288. The Plan establishes
water conservation goals and means to achieve them; establishes criteria for the initiation and
termination of drought response stages; establishes restrictions on certain water uses; establishes
penalties for the violation of and provisions for enforcement of these restrictions, and establishes
procedures for granting variances.
The adoption of the 2009 Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan and renewal of the
City's commitment to Chapter 28, Article III, Section 28-59 of the Code of Ordinances is
recommended by the City Manager and the Water Utilities Director.

B. Projected Water Demands
Provide estimates for total water demands for the planning horizon of the utility. Indicate
sources of data and how projected water demands were determined. Attach additional sheet
if necessary.
The following table is part of a report that was prepared for the City of Beaumont by
Freese & Nichols in 2004.
The City of Beaumont maintains an excellent set of production records from which an
analysis of historic water usage can be made. The total requirements are computed by
adding the total of both surface and well water to City.
This historical average day per capita demand has increased steadily from the 1950's
through 2004 with slight fluctuation in demands reflecting wet and dry years. Average
water consumption and per capita usage for the years 1998 was very high due to an
extended drought period. The table that follows displays the figures for population,
per capita water demand (GPCD), total water requirement for an average day (MGD),
and maximum daily requirements (MGD) excluding raw water usage. When this
report was prepared in 2004, it projected no decrease in the per capita demand
(GPCD) due to previous historic trends. However, the actual per capita values are less
than the 2004 projections by 5 and 12 percent for 2005 and 2007 respectively. The
decreasing per capita demand values is a result of increased usage of water
conservation measures. A couple of examples would be a leak detection program
conducted in 2007 and 2008, and continuous public education. The Texas Water
Development Board (TWDB) estimates these savings in per capita per day to be as

B. Projected Water Demands
Provide estimates for total water demands for the planning horizon of the utility. Indicate
sources of data and how projected water demands were determined. Attach additional sheet
if necessary.
The following table is part of a report that was prepared for the City of Beaumont by
Freese & Nichols in 2004.
The City of Beaumont maintains an excellent set of production records from which an
analysis of historic water usage can be made. The total requirements are computed by
adding the total of both surface and well water to City.
This historical average day per capita demand has increased steadily from the 1950's
through 2004 with slight fluctuation in demands reflecting wet and dry years. Average
water consumption and per capita usage for the years 1998 was very high due to an
extended drought period. The table that follows displays the figures for population,
per capita water demand (GPCD), total water requirement for an average day (MGD),
and maximum daily requirements (MGD) excluding raw water usage. When this
report was prepared in 2004, it projected no decrease in the per capita demand
(GPCD) due to previous historic trends. However, the actual per capita values are less
than the 2004 projections by 5 and 12 percent for 2005 and 2007 respectively. The
decreasing per capita demand values is a result of increased usage of water
conservation measures. A couple of examples would be a leak detection program
conducted in 2007 and 2008, and continuous public education. The Texas Water

Population figures for 1950-1990 were taken from U.S. Census data. Population figures
for 1997 and 1998 were derived using a 3.2% grown rate predicted by SETRPC for this
period. Population figures from 2000-2020 were taken from the SETRPC estimated
growth tate. Average day requirements for 1950 to 1998 were provided by the City of
Beaumont. Per capita usage from 1998 through 2020 were based on below normal
rainfall (drought) conditions and a decrease of 0.5 GPCD per 5 year increment based
on increased usage of water conservation plumbing fixtures, and water conservation
programs implemented by the city.

III. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
A. Water Supply Sources
1. List all current water supply and the amounts available with each:
Surface Water:
Groundwater:
Contracts:
Other:
Source Amount Available
Neches River 50 MGD
Chicot Aquifer 16 MGD
None None
None None
B. Treatment and Distribution System
1. Design daily capacity of system: 56 MGD
2. Please describe the water system. Include the number of treatment plants, wells, and
storage tanks. If possible, include a sketch of the system layout.
The City of Beaumont is served by one surface water treatment plant and one
ground water pump station. The Neches River is the raw water source for the
surface water treatment plant (40 MGD). The surface water treatment plant is a
conventional -type water treatment plant with normal disinfection, up flow
pulsate clarifier, and dual media filtration. The raw water flows from the Neches
River to the surface water treatment plant via a canal system, pump station, and
pipe. The canal system has three intakes from the Neches River: Weiss Bluff
intake, Bunn's Bluff intake, and Lawson's intake. Only one intake is in use at a
time. Bunn's Bluff, Gravity flow intake is the normal operating intake. Lawson's
intake is used only in emergencies. The raw water is pumped from the end of
Bunn's Canal to the rapid mix where alum is added as the primary coagulant. I€
necessary caustic, is added to increase alkalinity. The water proceeds through
the up flow clarifiers to the filters. Chlorine can be added at this point, before
filtration, for disinfection zone 1; however, D1 is normally not utilized.
Phosphate is added before and after filtration for sequestration of manganese.
Chlorine, caustic and fluoride are added after filtration, just before the water
reaches the clear well, a 5 million gallon ground storage tank. D2 is from the
clear well influent to clear well effluent. After the clear well ammonia is added to
form chloramines and caustic is added to increase the pH. The water is then
9
pumped to the distribution system. The ground water system (16 MGD) consists
of three wells, two 5 million gallon ground storage tanks and four booster pumps,
all located in Hardin County north of Beaumont. The wells pump from the
Chicot Aquifer (a minor aquifer within the Gulf Coast aquifer). Free chlorine is
added before and after the ground storage tanks. The water is pumped from the
ground storage tanks to the distribution system.
The distribution system consists of 780 miles of water lines and six elevated
storage tanks with approximately 42,221 connections, encompassing a service
area of 85.74 sq. miles. Water lines range in size from 2" to 42' in diameter.
Most of the city is operated as one pressure plane. However, a booster station in
the southern portion of the city serves the prison system. The north and west
parts of the city receive ground water, the remainder of the city receives surface
water. Refer to Appendix B.
IV. WASTEWATER SYSTEM
A. Wastewater System Data
1. Design Capacity of wastewater treatment plant: 46 MGD
2. Briefly describe the wastewater system(s) of the area serviced by the water utility.
Describe how treated wastewater is disposed of. Where applicable, identify treatment
plant(s) with the TCEQ name and number, the operator, owner, and if wastewater is
discharged, the receiving stream. Please provide a sketch or map which located the
plant(s) discharge points or disposal sites.
The City of Beaumont's Wastewater Treatment Plant is a high rate continuous
recirculation, two stage bio -trickling filter plant followed by three polishing
ponds. Following chlorination and dechlorination the wastewater treatment
plant's effluent is pumped to a constructed wetland for tertiary treatment prior to
being discharged into a natural wetland and then to the receiving stream. Plant
site is locate at 4900 Lafin Road, approximately 3000 feet south of IIS Highway 69
and Highway 124 in Jefferson County. Since 2003 the wastewater treatment
plant received a major upgrade to its treatment units, electrical and SCADA
system.
The City of Beaumont's Wastewater Treatment Plant is owned and operated by
the City and is identified by TCEQ Permit Number 100501-020 Hillebrandt
Bayou Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Treatment effluent discharged is into Hillebrandt Bayou in segment number 0704
of the Neches -Trinity Coastal River Basin.
10
The City of Beaumont's wastewater treatment plant disposes of its aerobically
digested sludge at the City of Beaumont's Type 1 Landfill (TCEQ Number 1486)
owned and operated by the City of Beaumont. Refer to Appendix C.

VI. CONSERVATION GOALS
Please use the data provided in this survey to establish conservation goals (additional data may
be used).
A. Water conservation goals for municipal utilities are generally established to maintain or
reduce consumption, as measured in:
1. gallon per capita per day used;
2. unaccounted-for water uses;
3. peak -day to average -day ratio; and/or
4. an increase in reuse or recycling of water.
B. TCEQ conservation staff assess the reasonableness of water conservation goals based on
whether the applicant addresses the following steps:
1. identification of a water or wastewater problem;
2. performance of a system audit (completion of this form).
3. selection of goals based on the technical potential to save water as identified in the
audit; and
4. performance of a coast -benefit analysis of conservation strategies.
If at least the first three steps have been completed and are summarized in the water
conservation plan, then TCEQ staff can conclude that there is substantiated basis for the
goals, and that the water conservation plan is integrated into water management.
Therefore, the established conservation goals are deemed reasonable.
15
C. Complete the following in gallons per capita per day (gpcd) to quantify the water
conservation goals for the utility's service area.
1. Estimation of the technical potential for reducing per capita water use:
2. Planning goal
The planning goal equals the dry year per capita water use minus the total technical
potentials calculated in number one above.
Goal to be achieved by 2013 (in gpcd): 172 gpcd
Goal to be achieved by 2018 (in gpcd): 162 gpcd
Note: Projections are based on using actual 2007 values since the 2008 values
were effected by Hurricane Ike.
3. Needed reduction in per capita use to meet planning goal :
Current per capita use: 183
Planning goal for 2013(from #2 above): 172
Planning goal for 2018(from #2 above): 162
Difference between current use and 2018 goal: 21 gpcd
(Represents needed reduction in per capita use to meet goal.)
4. Methods to reduce per capita use:
a. Water line replacement program:
In 2000 the City of Beaumont adopted an aggressive water line replacement
program. The program continue to replace approximately 20,000 linear feet of
water lines per year. The replacement of corroded, unlined cast iron water lines

4. Methods to reduce per capita use:
a. Water line replacement program:
In 2000 the City of Beaumont adopted an aggressive water line replacement
program. The program continue to replace approximately 20,000 linear feet of
water lines per year. The replacement of corroded, unlined cast iron water lines
16
improves water quality, reduces water loss, and reduces production costs. Refer to
Appendix D.
b. Installation of conservative plumbing fixtures:
The City of Beaumont Code Enforcement section adopted the use of plumbing
fixtures that promotes water conservation. The City of Beaumont will continue to
enforce such measures.
c. Water Leak Detection and Elimination Program:
The water meter and alley lines relocation program, reduced the water leaks and
relocated the lines to the street making any future leak easier to detect.
The City of Beaumont contracted with ADS the leak detection program that
identified leaks and trained City staff on how to operate the equipment. The City is
in the process of buying leak detection equipment to conduct daily in-house leak
detection. Refer to Appendix E
d. Annual water meter testing.
In 2000 the City of Beaumont started conducting an annual test of all its meters 3
inches and larger. This program will continue to be a part of the standard
operations.
e. Water System Master Plan:
The City of Beaumont Contracted out to Schaumburg and Polk, Inc. the design of a
Master Plan that will be completed by the end of 2009. The Master Plan will field
survey and locate all existing lines, create a water model, and identify areas of low
pressures and potential water leaks.
f. Leak Detection Program:
The City of Beaumont executed a contract with ADS Environmental Services to
identify leaks in the distribution system. This program started in February 2007 and
was completed in April 2008. The leaks found have been repaired by City forces.
The City is in the process of buying leak detection equipment to establish an
ongoing leak detection program. Refer to Appendix F for Resolution and results of
study.
g. Self Audit Program:
The City of Beaumont will conduct a self audit for all its facilities every two years.
17
h. Water Bill Inserts
In the next five years the City of Beaumont will continue to include inserts in the
water bills to educate the public on water conservation. In addition the City will
insert in the water bill a self audit to the customers to help them conserve water and
save money. Refer to Appendix G
i. Public Education:
The City of Beaumont adopted a five year educational program (2009 through
2013) that will continue to educate the public by presenting brochures at
community centers, town hall meetings, schools and entertainment festivals. In
addition, the City is sponsoring water conservation school programs and projects

RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
As a result of Hurricane Ike, some homes located within the floodplain, east of Pine Street,
received flood damage. Because the City's floodplain land use ordinance requires that homes
in the floodplain that are substantially damaged be elevated prior to repair, many residents
have found elevating their homes and repairing them difficult if not impossible.
In order to provide relief to the residents and avoid future, repetitive flooding of these homes,
the City applied for Hazard Mitigation funds to acquire and demolish these homes. The City
was successfully awarded this grant for acquisition and removal of sixteen (16) homes. To
date, we have inspected and secured appraisals for each of the sixteen (16) homes and made
purchase and relocation offers. Those addresses listed below and attached contracts represent
offers accepted by the owners, up to this point. Please note that the purchase offer amounts
are based on pre -storm appraisal values, less any proceeds from insurance and/or other disaster
relief assistance. The amount of relocation assistance is based on the grant formula and
differs, depending upon the resident's desire to secure rental housing or purchase a new home.

This grant provides seventy-five percent (75 %) of the costs, with a required twenty-five
percent (25 %) local match, which will be paid through a reallocation of 2008 Program Year
CDBG demolition funds. It is expected that additional purchase contracts will be forthcoming
as offers are accepted by the homeowners. Once these properties are acquired, the City will
demolish these homes and deed restrict the properties, to prevent future flooding losses. These
costs will also be covered by the grant.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Funds this local match are available through the 2008 Program Year CDBG Budget.

REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval of a resolution authorizing the City
Manager to execute water and/or wastewater service
agreements with City of Beaumont wholesale customers.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of executing water and/or wastewater service agreements
with Arkema, Inc., Equistar Chemicals, LP, Exxon Mobil Polyethylene Plant, Exxon Mobil
Refinery, Exxon Mobil BCSP/OA, Lucite, Northwest Forest MUD, Peak Sulfur, Inc., Martin
Resources, BASF Corporation, Republic Services, Texas Department of Criminal Justice,
Cardinal Meadows Improvement District, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Gerdau Ameristeal of
Beaumont, GE Betz, West Jefferson County MUD, and Meeker MUD.
BACKGROUND
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Chapter 290, Sub -Chapter D, Rules and
Regulations for Public Water Systems, require municipalities to execute service agreements with
wholesalers as well as non -transient non communities which are not a community water system
but regularly serve at least 25 of the same persons at least six months out of the year. Once
service agreements are executed with such entities, they will be required by state law to monitor
and report the water quality inside of their property on a monthly basis. This procedure will
prevent any possible contamination of the City of Beaumont water system and protect public
health.
The Water Utilities Department provides water and/or sanitary sewer services to 16 industrial
customers and 4,800 commercial customers. The industrial and commercial facilities will be
evaluated, and agreements will be executed for those who will be identified as wholesalers and
non -transient non -communities.
The execution of the service agreements is recommended for approval by the City Manager and
the Water Utilities Director. A sample service agreement is attached for your review.

Council approval of a one year agreement with Blue Cross
Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) for employee medical and
dental insurance.
Administration recommends that Council award to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) a
one year contract effective January 1, 2010 for third party administration of the City's fully insured
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO Blue Texas), self funded Preferred Provider Organization
(PPO) medical plan and a self funded dental plan.
BACKGROUND
The City offers its full time employees medical and dental benefits. The medical and dental benefits
consist of a self funded PPO plan, a fully insured HMO plan, and a self funded dental plan. There
are 997 participants enrolled in the PPO plan, consisting of 861 active employees, 132 retirees, and
4 COBRA participants. There are 457 participants enrolled in the HMO plan, consisting of 403
active employees, 52 retirees, and 2 COBRA participants.
In May 2009, City staff began analyzing the City's health care costs. In June 2009, staff also began
working with the City's health benefit consultant, Holmes Murphy & Associates to determine if the
City should request bid proposals for the City's HMO, PPO, and dental plans or remain with the
current administrator, BCBSTX for 2010. The City has the option to negotiate new rates with
BCBSTX without seeking bids. The prior year bid states the City has the option to request renewal
rates from the current administrator, BCBSTX. The current agreement with BCBSTX started January
1, 2006 and can be renewed for up to five years.
After analyzing and negotiating the BCBS renewal rates, staff concluded that BCBSTX offered the
most cost effective plans. Initial renewal rates projected by BCBSTX for the fully insured HMO plan
increased 10.4%. Actual claims experience resulted in the high initial renewal projection. PPO
overall fixed costs consisting of stop loss and administration fees remained the same. Renewal rates
for the self funded dental plan did not increase. Final negotiations by Holmes Murphy & Associates
resulted in the HMO plan renewal being held to a 4.5% increase. The HMO increase was a function
of increasing utilization due to aging members and medical inflation.

August 25, 2009

Holmes Murphy & Associates recommends that the City remain with BCBSTX because it offers
cost effective plans with an extensive network and deep provider discounts. The final negotiated
rates are lower than the projected industry trends of 10 to 12%.
Staff recommends implementation of the following rates to be paid by the City for HMO coverage,

Council authorize the City Manager to implement the
contribution rate change for retirees in the medical plans.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends that Council approve medical contribution rate changes for retirees
including their dependents, effective January 1, 2010.
BACKGROUND
Retirees and their dependents are allowed to elect continuation of medical coverage as provided by
state statue. The retiree/dependent may continue coverage until the retiree/dependent is covered by
Medicare/Medicaid but not beyond age 65. Currently, there are 184 retirees on the City's medical
plans.
The retiree contribution rate for Police and Fire retirees is based on a provision in the Police and Fire
contract agreements which states, "Any employee who retired on or after February 1, 1992 may be
subject to an annual increase in contribution. The increase will be effected in accordance with the
labor agreement. The single rate will be established at 69%; single rate + 1 at 58%; and the family
rate at 54% of the COBRA rate on January 1 s` annually." This same formula is utilized when
calculating the contribution rate for civilian retirees.
The City requested Holmes Murphy & Associates, its benefits consultant, to analyze the City's health
costs and to determine the 2010 medical COBRA rates. Based on Holmes Murphy & Associates
analysis, it is recommended that retiree medical rates effective January 1, 2010 be as follows:

Consider approving a contract with CVS Caremark for Pharmacy Benefit Manager services for

City Council
Kyle Hayes, City Manager

August 25, 2009
Council consider authorizing a five year agreement with
CVS Caremark for Pharmacy Benefit Manager services for
City employees.
The Administration recommends that Council authorize a five (5) year agreement with the current
vendor CVS Caremark, with an option to terminate, with or without cause, after the first year.
BACKGROUND
As prescription drug costs continue to rise, the City faces a challenge in providing the same level of
drug benefits as in previous years. The decision to recommend the agreement with CVS Caremark
was based on their projected annual plan costs and continuity of services provided to City employees.
For FY 2009, City drug costs are estimated to total $2.5 million which is approximately an eight
percent (8%) increase over the prior year. This increase is representative of industry trends which
predicted an 8-10% increase in pharmaceutical costs for 2009. Industry trends predict an 8-12%
increase in pharmaceutical costs in 2010. The 2010 trend takes into consideration the increasing use
of high cost speciality pharmacy medications.
In May, 2009, City staff began analyzing the City's prescription drug costs and requested bid
proposals from pharmacy benefit management companies. Nine (9) bid proposals were received and
City staff along with the City's pharmacy benefit consultants, Action RX and Holmes Murphy
interviewed the top three (3) companies.
After evaluating the bid proposals, City staff, Action RX, and Holmes Murphy concluded that CVS
Caremark offered the most robust and cost effective program. Besides placing first in the financial
analysis, CVS Caremark offers high touch case management in its exclusive specialty pharmacy unit
and placed an emphasis on adherence programs for five major disease states. Specialty Pharmacy is
where some of the most expensive medications are dispensed to treat some of the sickest members.
For example, medications to treat Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Cancer which cost
an average of $1,500 to $4,000 per month are dispensed through Caremark's Specialty Pharmacy
division. Their national network of 61 speciality pharmacies provides continuous services 24/7/365;
and supports emergency and/or disaster events. CVS Caremark also provides a case
August 25, 2009
Page 2
management team to each chronically ill member that includes a Registered Nurse who specializes
in that disease state, a reimbursement specialist, and pharmacy tech support. For the rest of the
utilizers who use pharmacy services, CVS Caremark has 12 certified call centers that provide 24
hour assistance and members also have the option to speak with a pharmacist. The other bidders
could not offer this level or depth of service. Further, with CVS Caremark's adherence programs
for five (5) major disease states, CVS Caremark has the clinical assistance in place to measure,
monitor, and provide robust programs to improve adherence.
While CVS Caremark is a national company, CVS contributes heavily to the communities they
serve. CVS employs 102 full-time and 40 part-time employees in Beaumont. CVS Caremark was
very active in Hurricane relief efforts for Southeast Texas which included a $250,000 donation to
the National Relief Fund of the Red Cross.
The pricing structure proposed by CVS Caremark projects a cost savings of approximately 16.97%
from the current pricing structure. This is based upon improved pricing on discounts, fees, and
rebates**. Bid tabulations for the top three (3) finalists are as follows:

August 25, 2009
REQUESTED ACTION: Council to hold a public hearing on the proposed 2009 (FY
2010) Tax Rate.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends that Council hold a public hearing, as scheduled, on the proposed
2009 (FY 2010) Tax Rate of $0.6400. In accordance with the Property Tax Code, the Council
must make the following announcement: The meeting to vote on the tax rate will be held on
September 22, 2009 at 1:30 p.m. in the Beaumont Civic Center.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with truth -in -taxation laws
in adopting their tax rate. Two public hearings are required if the proposed tax rate exceeds the
lower of the effective tax rate or the roll back tax rate. A Notice of Public Hearing on Tax
Increase is required to be published in the newspaper, on the city website, and on a television
channel, if available. The notice was published in the newspaper, on the website and on the cable
4 channel on August 18, 2009, regarding the proposal to increase total tax revenue from
properties on the tax roll by 3.55%. Although the proposed tax rate is remaining the same, the
increase is mostly related to new property added to the tax roll this year.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Applying the proposed tax rate of $.6400 and a 97% collection rate, budgeted revenues of
$28,003,000 and $12,703,000 respectively to the General and Debt Service Funds are anticipated.
The total rate of $0.6400 is apportioned $0.440277/$100 assessed valuation to the General Fund
and $0.199723/$100 assessed valuation toward the Debt Service Fund.
