(a) The payment for 2016 shall be due and payable on or before February 1, 2016.
The 2016 payment is calculated as follows:
GAIndustrial Contracts\Agreements 2016-20221slamback 2016- DraftA2
Assumed City Taxes Due;
Assessed Value / 100 X Current City Tax Rate = Assumed City Tax Due
Year 1 80% of Assumed City Taxes Due = 2016 Payment
Each October thereafter, the Chief Financial Officer of the City shall obtain the current
Assessed Values set by the Jefferson County Appraisal District for the Company's Properties

litigation with the Jefferson County Appraisal District, payment shall be computed on the most
recent certified Assessed Values of the Properties by the Jefferson County Appraisal District,

adjustment for the payment, without interest, will be made within thirty (30) days following such

G:Undustrial Contraets\Agreements 2016-20221Slambaek 2016- Draft.dg

City Taxes Due, except such payment shall not exceed or be less than the previous year's
payment by more than seven percent (7%).
(c) City hereby agrees to bill Company for annual payments due hereunder on or
before January 1 each year. Company shall pay such amount to City on or before February 1
each year. Upon receiving the annual payment due, the Chief Financial Officer of the City shall

Consider an ordinance amending the FY 2015 Budget
TEXAS
TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer(�
MEETING DATE: September 29, 2015
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider an ordinance amending the FY 2015 Budget.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with Article VI of the City Charter, the City Manager shall strictly enforce the
provisions of the budget as specified in the ordinance adopting the budget. He shall not authorize
or approve any expenditure unless an appropriation has been made in the budget ordinance
adopting the budget, and there is an available unencumbered balance of the appropriation
sufficient to pay the liability to be incurred. Approving the proposed amendments will ensure that
expenditures are within the approved budget.
The details of the amendments are as follows:
The City's health plans are self-insured which means the City and employee contributions pay the
medical claims incurred on the plan up to $175,000 when a stop loss insurance policy begins
covering the claims. For pharmacy, the City pays the claims from City funds and employee
contributions. These costs are accounted for in the Employee Benefits Fund. The budget for this
fund is set based on claim trends and the projected cost of healthcare in the next fiscal year. The
Employee Benefits Fund was previously amended on August 11, 2015 for $1,600,000 in
additional expenditures for increased medical claims, prescription drug costs, and fees related to
the Affordable Care Act than was expected in the FY 2015 Budget due to several large medical
claims, increased- utilization of the prescription drug plan, and rising costs related to specialty
drugs. The City pays claim cost on a weekly basis in which most months have four weekly
payments, however; September will include five weekly payments. As a result, an additional
appropriation is needed in order to pay for the current year expenditures.

The Municipal Airport Fund is expected to exceed budgeted expenditures by $350,000 due to
capital construction costs related to the airport improvement project funded by royalties derived
from the airport property. This project includes new hangars and the relocation of a taxiway. The
timeline for incurring costs during FY 2015 was'not known when the FY 2015 Budget was
prepared. There is sufficient fund balance to cover these costs.

In June, Council approved creating a Municipal Health Care Provider Participation Program
(MHCPPP) to support the payment of Medicaid supplemental hospital payments to local hospitals.

mandatory payments that will be collected from each institutional health care provider and
remitted to the state to fund the nonfederal share of the Medicaid supplemental payment program.
The LPPF will operate as a special revenue fund which requires an annual budget.

REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider authorizing the City Manager to receive
funding in the amount of $875,909.00 through the
Department of Homeland Security Supplemental 2015 Port
Security Grant Program (PSGP).
BACKGROUND
The Homeland Security Grant Program consists of a number of grant programs, one of which is
the Port Security Grant Program (PSGP). This grant can be utilized to enhance the security of the
Port of Beaumont and the agencies that support it since the Port is designated as critical to national
infrastructure. Approximately $685,000.00 is required annually to provide maintenance service to
the regional radio system. The $875,909.00 will be applied toward the anticipated costs for two
fiscal years. Maintenance costs are allocated to each participating jurisdiction based on the
number of radios (also known as subscriber units) each uses and each of these jurisdictions will
pay their commensurate portion of the required local match.
FUNDING SOURCE
There is a match requirement that each participating jurisdiction involved in the radio system will
be responsible for. The City of Beaumont budgets for this expenditure in the Capital Reserve
Fund.

Goodhue Road Sanitary Sewer Project
TEXAS
TO: City Council

PREPARED BY: Amalia Villarreal, P.E., Interim Water Utilities Director "R Y
MEETING DATE: September 29, 2015
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution approving a contract with BDS
Constructors, LLC dba MK Constructors, in the amount of
$960,329.00 for the Goodhue Road Sanitary Sewer Project.
BACKGROUND
The customers on Peyton Drive, Parsons Drive, and Sallie Street have had sanitary sewer service
interruptions during rain events. A video investigation of the sanitary sewer lines revealed that
the existing line along Goodhue Road is unable to provide enough flow capacity for all the
customers that it serves. In order to restore reliable service to the customers, a new line will be
installed along Sallie Street and Goodhue Road. This new line will relieve the loading on the
existing line, and improve the reliability of the service to this area.
The proposed project shall provide for the installation of 1,470 linear feet of new 12 -inch diameter
sanitary sewer line on Goodhue Road along with all related appurtenances. The project will also
abandon approximately 540 linear feet of existing 10 -inch line that must be replaced or relocated
into the utility easement.
The MBE participation will be with LD Construction of Beaumont. The total amount of the
subcontracts is $28,000, which represents 2.92% of the total bid.

TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer
MEETING DATE: September 29, 2015
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider granting a new solid waste transportation service
agreement.
BACKGROUND
According to City Ordinance 22.05.101, no person shall engage in the business of collecting,
hauling or transporting, in the city, any garbage, waste or refuse, without first having obtained a
franchise from the City. Seven (7) entities currently have nonexclusive franchise agreements with
the City and are doing business in this area. Piney Woods Sanitation Inc. has requested that the
City Council grant the company such franchise agreement. Piney Woods Sanitation serves
southeast Texas with its corporate office located at 517 Hwy 69 North in Huntington, Texas.
The requested franchise is generally the same as those previously approved by City Council. It
provides for a term of one year from its effective date and a franchise fee of seven percent (7%) of
gross revenues received for service. It also requires the entity to indemnify the City of Beaumont
and provide insurance which names the City of Beaumont as a named insured.
According to'City Charter, franchise ordinances require readings at three (3) separate Council
meetings, with the third not less than thirty (3 0) days from the first reading. The ordinance does not
take effect until sixty (60) days after its adoption on the third and final reading. After passage, the
ordinance must be published for four (4) consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation
in the city. All publication costs are paid by the franchisee. Attached is a copy of the franchise
agreement for your review.
This is the third reading. The first reading was on August 25, 2015 and the second on September
15, 2015.
- FUNDING SOURCE
A franchise fee of seven percent (7%) of gross receipts will be paid to the City.
