GENERAL BUSINESS
Consider a resolution authorizing a one-year contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas
with an option for four additional years effective January 1, 2021 for third party administration
of the City's self-funded Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) medical and dental plans.
The. City currently offers medical and dental benefits to 1,244 full-time employees and
medical benefits to 201 retirees. The FY 2020 estimated cost of providing a PPO Plan and
dental benefits is $16,456,000. As medical costs continue to rise, the City faces a challenge
in providing the same level of medical benefits as in previous years.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was solicited and publicly opened on February 27, 2020.
Holmes Murphy is the City's benefits consultant and has assisted the City in the evaluation of
the responses. Two medical and two dental proposals were received and City staff along
with Holmes Murphy staff reviewed the responses from BCBSTX and United Healthcare.
After analyzing and negotiating with the finalists,. City staff and Holmes Murphy concluded
that BCBSTX, the incumbent carrier, offered the most cost-effective plan with an extensive
provider network and deep provider _discounts. Renewal administrative rates projected by
BCBSTX for the PPO Plan increased 2% for years 2021-2023. Administrative costs for years
2024 and 2025 were negotiated to increase 3%.
Minutes —April 20, 2020 .
The final negotiated rates are lower than the projected industry trend of 8% and the projected
increase could be higher depending on the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The PPO Medical plan consists of the following benefits:

Deductible
$500

Staff recommends implementation of the following rates to be paid by the City for PPO and
Dental administration effective January 1, 2021:
Funds will come from the Employee Benefits Fund.
Approval of the resolution.
Councilmember Neild moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND HE IS
HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD OF
TEXAS (BCBSTX) WITH AN OPTION FOR. FOUR (4) ADDITIONAL YEARS, AT THE NEGOTIATED RATES,

Resolution 20-087
2. Consider amending Section 20.03.003 of the Code of Ordinances that would change the
speed zone boundaries and the speed limit on one section of College Street (U.S. Highway
90).
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) performed a traffic survey of College
Street (U.S. Highway 90) from the western city limits (Keith Road) to FM 364 (Major Drive).
The average crash rate over the past three (3) years for this section of road is 364, nearly
double the statewide average of 160 for similar roadways.
Administration and TxDOT propose the speed zone boundaries and speed limit for these
sections of College Street (U.S. Highway 90) be amended under the schedule Chapter 20
Section 20.03.003 to read as follows:
Street
Limits of Zones
College
(c) From a point 60 feet
Street (U.S.
west of the centerline of 23rd
Hwy 90)
Street to a point 60 feet east
of the centerline of

3. Consider an ordinance denying the Entergy Texas, Inc. application for a Distribution Cost
Recovery Factor rate increase on file with the City of Beaumont.
On March 31, 2020 Entergy Texas, Inc. filed an application with the cities in its service area
and at the same time with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) to amend its
Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF). The DCRF filing allows the company to make
adjustments to an existing non -fuel rate based upon changes in its distribution related
investment capital.
The scope of a DCRF proceeding is limited and the timeline for addressing these cases is
shorter than the typical rate case. Cities have sixty (60) days to either accept, modify, or
reject the DCRF application. The existing tariff approved in 2019 allows $3.2 million in annual
revenue. The application before you is requesting to collect an additional $20.4 million in
annual revenue, making a total of $23.6 million in annual revenue.. As a result, residential
customers would incur $14.6 million or (62%) of the increase. This translates into
approximately $2.09 per month for an average residential customer using 1000 kWh per
month.
The Cities utility attorneys and consultants are reviewing the application to determine the
propriety of the calculations, class billing determinants, and resulting rates. In the past, DCRF
applications were resolved with Entergy receiving less than the requested amounts.
It is the recommendation that the application be denied. A denial will allow for an appeal of
the decision which will be joined with the already existing case before the PUCT for a full
review.
The reasonable expenses associated with rate cases are reimbursable by the company as
provided for in the Public Utility Regulatory Act.
Approval of ordinance.
Councilmember Mouton moved to ADOPT AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS
("CITY") DENYING THE DISTRIBUTION COST RECOVERY FACTOR RATE INCREASE REQUEST OF
ENTERGY TEXAS, INC. FILED ON MARCH 31, 2020; SETTING JUST AND REASONABLE RATES FOR
ENTERGY TEXAS, INC. FOR SERVICE WITHIN THE MUNICIPAL LIMITS. Mayor Pro Tem Pate seconded
the motion.

PUBLIC HEARING
Receive comments on the proposed mandatory payment rate related to the Local
Provider Participation Fund for FY 2020
Public Hearing Open: 1:53 p.m.
Gary Troutman 3080 College St. Beaumont TX
Thanked Council on behalf of Baptist Hospital, the Board of Directors and frontline providers
for placing this item on the agenda, would like to emphasize the critical nature and action for
hospitals to carry on their operations and to care for victims during this terrible virus as well
as to maintain their capacity as safety net hospital providers
Public Hearing Close: 1:53 p.m.
4. Consider setting the mandatory payment rate related to the Local Provider Participation Fund
for FY 2020.
On June 9, 2015, the City Council authorized the City's participation in a municipal health
care provider participation program to support the payment of Medicaid supplemental
hospital payments to Safety -Net Hospitals in the City. At the same time, the City Council
authorized the execution of indigent care affiliation agreements with Baptist Hospitals of
Southeast Texas and Christus Hospital. In addition, on July 28, 2015, the City Council
approved model rules and procedures related to the City of Beaumont's facilitation of the
program. The City of Beaumont is required to set the amount of the mandatory payments
required to be paid by the hospitals. The mandatory payment must be uniformly
proportionate with the amount of net patient revenue generated by each paying hospital in
the municipality. The mandatory rate for the fiscal year ending 2020 will be 3.46%.
Funds will come from the local Safety -Net Hospitals, they will make mandatory payments
into the Beaumont Municipal Health Care Provider Participation Fund.
Approval of the resolution.
Mayor Pro Tem Pate moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION SETTING THE MANDATORY PAYMENT RATE
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2020 FOR THE LOCAL PROVIDER PARTICIPATION FUND IN THE MUNICIPAL

Minutes — April 20, 2020
WORK SESSION
Review and discuss the CenterPoint Energy 2019 Base Rate Increase
Mr. Dan Lawton reviewed and discussed the CenterPoint Energy 2019 Base Rate Increase.
Mr. Lawton stated that there were (3) three cities that joined this action, they were Beaumont
and the East Texas area, as well as a group called the Alliance of CenterPoint Municipalities.
The (3) three groups divided the work to avoid duplication. One group looked at investment,
another at expenses and another at profits. After completing the entire analysis of hiring
consultants and working with the company they were able to negotiate a solution to the case
and negotiating down the proposed rate increase of $7.1 million down to $4 million. Had the
City of Beaumont not agreed with the other cities, Beaumont would have had to go through
the litigation alone. Mr. Lawton stated that he recommended to the City Attorney, Tyrone
Cooper that a settlement at'this point would be a good idea and would reduce rate case
expenses. Mr. Lawton also stated that the other two groups expended approximately
$140,000.00 each. The Lawton Law Firm on behalf of the City of Beaumont expended
$16,000.00, had the city wanted to go through litigation their cost would have been much
higher. Mr. Lawton asked Council to pay attention to the outline of the. settlement that he
provided to them prior to the meeting, the entire $4 million increase does go to the residential
class, the other two classes which are small and large commercial will have no rate change,
the only class of customers that will be impacted by this are the residential customers.
