of Mr. Millard stands and leases the property to the Art Museum of Southeast Texas. A
marker would be placed aside the statue, providing a history of Mr. Millard and his
importance to the growth of the City of Beaumont's education system.
Originally unveiled in front of Millard Elementary school in 1912, the statue cast in bronze
stood at seven (T) feet tall and was crafted by Pompeo Coppini just two (2) years after
Minutes — April 18, 2023
Millard's death. In 1964 The Junior league of Beaumont had the statue moved to Pipkin Park
for its proximity to the Millard family home after the closure of the school. In 1999, an art
conservation group cleaned and made small repairs to the statue. In 2010 artist Ron Petitt,
who completely restored the statue recommended relocating it from Pipkin Park to a more
visible location.
At a Public Hearing held on April 10, 2023, the Historic Landmark Commission recommended
8:0 to approve the request to support the application for a State Historical Designation.
No funding is required.
Approval of the resolution.

COMMENTS
Public Comments (Persons are limited to three minutes)
Kenneth Earls 1265 Condon Beaumont TX
Spoke to Council regarding livelihood and how it affects one of the most important cities in
America and a county that has three petroleum plants, stated that the city should have five
lobbyist in Washington D.C., the city should ask for what they want and Washington should
give it to us, forty percent of all gas products come from this region from the Neches and
Sabine Rivers, the city should demand that rivers be widened, they will do it for one reason,
in the future China is threatening war, we need to get those ships and supertankers into the
port to make sure petroleum and gas is headed towards that region, our Navy is going to
need it, the President has told us that the United States is supportive of Taiwan, Hong Kong
and all the other people that are supporting us, stated that our product needs to be there
pronto, we need to be able to transport our military there because there is going to be that
time when our grandchildren are going to have to fight that war and the city needs this river
and those things done, spoke on term limits, believes that each of the Councilmembers
should be elected for six years, not two years, we waste our money and time and Council
should be on board for a twenty four seven, three hundred and sixty five days a year, they
should be paid to commensurate the time that work, the things that are being discussed are a
no brainer, the cities that are more popular move things adventurously and makes sure that
the citizens receive what they need are those types of cities, he would like to see the charter
proposal reflect that, made additional comments regarding Council's salary
Minutes — April 18, 2023
Addie Allen 9695 Gross Beaumont TX
Stated that she knows that the Mayor and the City Council can allow certain time limits for
citizens to speak, certain people get it, certain people don't, doesn't know when this is going
to stop, she's heard other people get time extended, it's happening every Council meeting,
she has a pretty good track recording of being at the meeting, there's some disparities as to
who speaks to finishing of their sentence or to finish their thought process, commented on
the City Charter appointments, knows that it has to be people that are knowledgeable but
there are people that have been in Beaumont a long time, she would like to think that when
these people are appointed that Council would open it up for volunteers and then Council can
peruse through and see who can and won't be willing to serve, knows that could happen,
she would probably volunteer, commented on the voting problem, glad that Council is talking
about the wording because the wording in the last election where they voted for Ordinances
etc., there was not enough time given for citizens to understand what they were voting on, if
Council is going to put something on the November ballot, there needs to be a town hall
meeting and not thirty days prior to the election, that's unfair, also commented on standing
water in the ditches, in the last ditching project in her area she asked what employees check
on contractors, she has standing water all the time in front of her home, the follow-up is what
she thinks is important, the water isn't flowing, they all pay taxes and standing water isn't
good when they are bitten by mosquitoes, asked that the questions that are posed to Council
today please be answered, she appreciates Council and thanked them for their service,
she's sincere about her comments
Ingrid Bell 4986 Plant Rd. Beaumont TX
Spoke to Council regarding the area behind her home, doesn't think that having her property
flooded because someone wants to buy her property and have her gone, that isn't going to
happen, the first time the flooding occurred she went to the property owner who visited with
them, was very excited when the property owner said he would take care of business, by the
14th or 15t" of April there was nothing done, the rain that occurred last weekend had her
running from the front to the back of her property, she felt as if the water was going to come
into her bedroom, asked Council what her rights are, is she being flooded because someone
wants to buy her property or is she being flooded because there wasn't enough planning to
design the drainage system before they started piling dirt behind her property, when the trees
were first removed there was a problem with hogs they would come around to the front of her
property and tear it up, now that the hogs and tress are gone there's now piles of dirt and
they are being flooded, hopes that something can be done
Mary Guillory 5005 Plant Rd. Beaumont TX
Stated that on the 8th of this month for the first time ever her property was flooded, she has
resided at this residence for over thirty plus years, she's been through many storms all of the
water that came through was clear and it disappeared, she now has mud and water flowing
through her property, she has a storage building in her backyard that's sitting underwater,
there's water everywhere, called on the 5th, 1 Oth, an inspector came out from Engineering on
the 10th who said it was nothing they could do, today an inspector came out again, she spoke
with him and asked him if he was familiar with a swell and he responded yes, there was
additional comments regarding the swell and a detention pond, stated it's unfair for their
property to be destroyed, they have worked hard to take care of their property all these
years, asking for help and need it ASAP, there's rain coming on Thursday and she doesn't
Minutes-- April 18, 2023
know what's going to happen, they are all stressed and need for Council to come out and see
what's being done
Albert Harrison 1240 Ashley Beaumont TX
Complained to Council regarding an issue in the 1100 block of Evalon, it's a vacant lot, his
issue is the city cleaning out the ditches, in the process of the city cleaning out the ditches
he saw the worker was operating a clean out machine, the worker did move forward with
mopping out the area, stated that there was a pipe under the concrete, the worker pulled pipe
out and plugged it, he had no problem with that, it cost the city more money to replace
another pipe in that area, the worker could have just blown the pipe out and cleared the issue
up, the city had to come back and put another pipe there and put additional concrete to make
a complete walk way, his real complaint now is in the process of them doing that it has now
made the water stagnant, the water is settling and not flowing anywhere, he was always told
that the water is to flow to the east, the individual that was doing the digging told him the
water now flows to the west, right now the water isn't flowing anywhere, the workers also
need to complete the jab, stated that across from 1118 Evalon they didn't finish mopping out
the ditch they left the grass
Dylan Richardson 4575 N. Major Dr. Beaumont TX
Discussed term limits, stated that it's his understanding that only one Councilmember has
spoken in support of term limits and the question is why, why does the Council consider
themselves to be above the standards that is held at the highest level of our Government in
America, informed Council as to why there are term limits in this country, George Washington
our first President who would have assuredly been elected to his third term decided that
Presidents should only be serving a maximum of two year terms so as to not fall in the same
tyranny that they faced in Great Britain, many Councilmembers are in their own unique way
tyrants of change, it would appear that many of Council cherish the title, spot light and being
surrounded by the crowds of sycophants that many of them are so much so that they are
willing to grand stand numerous terms and even decades simply forthe optics, stated that he
would like to plant a seed, a seed of a view different from this philosophy of a city official, if
there isn't drastic change, one hundred years from now people will look back on and study
how much of this Council lead the City of Beaumont to it's knees and to the edge of irrelevant
through their inactions, he asked that each of them reach out to the firemen and the union in
regards to solving the matters at hand, Council has been mislead in the past by many
advocates on the other side, stated that many of the Council have poised as eager to solve
the problem when the City Manager traded an unsanctioned organization intended to
undermine the outcome of pending litigation, to those of you I say shame on you, stated that
he will attend all future meetings and share his opinions on respective topics, in closing
stated that he does feel as though his consistent attendance will not be shared by at least
one of the Councilmembers who will be replaced by someone more qualified for the position
Claudette Colbert 3902 Congress Beaumont TX
Stated that she's been stressed out and terrorized and falsely accused of things that she
hasn't done, someone has stated that she's been in jail, she's never been in jail, stated she's
being abused with chemicals, radars, water is in her home every morning when she wakes
up, can't plant any flowers or anything outside of her home because they get burned by the
big light that is shining outside of her home, she's had cancer and a stroke twice from being
Minutes — April 18, 2023
terrorized, someone is saying she's on drugs, she's been a Christian for over 50 years and
has never hurt anyone, she has four kids that don't live in Beaumont but they are being
harassed as well as her four grandchildren, as of right now she has a headache, her eyes
burn at night because of chemicals, she goes from one bedroom to the next and it follows
her, a sewage tank was put in her back yard and she smells sewer all the time
Charlie Crabbe 920 East Drive Beaumont TX
Commented on the homeless, stated that he would like to see the city try to get some type of
housing like the small ones the city has discussed in the past, thinks the 60 ft shipping
containers make nice buildings for an individual or maybe two individuals to live in, stated
that he's been able to design one on the inside, thinks the city can build those if there's
craftsman that would volunteer build in their spare time, also commented on charter changes,
that's a big item, stated that if it's not broken just don't fix it, just ignore those charter items
that don't affect anyone, also commented on ditching culverts, would like to see ditches
made three quarters to an inch below the culvert so that they will not be any water left in the
ditch, this is a problem around the city where they ditch below the culvert, doesn't know who
maintains the ditch on Humble Rd., to Major Dr., water stands there for months after a rain,
the gentleman that spoke earlier had a good idea about the Neches River Channel in regards
to it being wider for the industrial area
Thomas Hunter 6652 Lexington Dr. Beaumont TX
Spoke to Council regarding the rampant abuse of handicap parking spots, people are parking
with impunity and he doesn't see anyone getting tickets, stated that this is his first time in this
building, he had to park at the end of the street because he couldn't park in a handicap spot
up front and not sure if anyone was abusing those spots, stated that he sees little small
sports cars, brand new cars, knows that those aren't driven by handicap citizens, when he
sees these vehicles parked in the handicap spots he looks at the license plate or the plaque
on the mirrors, most times he sees that they don't have either and are getting away with it,
stated that he needs to be able to park in the handicap spot because it's hard for him to
walk, commented on the City of Austin and what they do in regards to citizens that weren't
supposed to be parked in a handicap spot there vehicles were towed
Thefarro Richard 5275 Parkview Dr. Beaumont TX
Stated she came for two reasons, she spoke of meeting several celebrities who told her to do
great things, Alexis Morris is the first to make it to the WNBA, she only saw four
Councilmembers at the celebration, Beaumont United won three State Championships she
only saw four Councilmembers, stated that had it been a robbery, a drive by, a theft or a
baby momma domestic violence, they would want to talk about it, asked as representation of
everyone as a community as a whole there are obligations, understands that there are
Councilmembers who have sick relatives, stated she understands all of that, but what are we
saying to the young people if we don't celebrate them, if we don't affirm them, asked if
Council knows how incredible after forty one years for Beaumont United to do a three peat at
the same campus that became a part of integration, asked if they know howwonderful it is for
a young lady to say "I'm going for the WNBA" and make it, Alexis Morris deserves a key to
the city, no disrespect to Megan and what she's done, stated she doesn't agree with her
lifestyle it's not her choice but Houston can think enough to give her a key to the city, stated
she's confused, let every man search his own heart, Council wants to sit here at the table
and she applauds them because what they do isn't easy, commented on the time limit for a
Minutes — April 18, 2023
citizen to speak, if the highest leader gets a time limit then she feels that the Council should
also, also stated that if a voters says they want Council to represent them because they are
advocating for their needs of a Ward then who am I to take the vote away from them, every
single Ward has a different need and if they feel that Council is performing their needs who
are we to take their voice and say no because who knows what will come next, asked
everyone to search their hearts, the kids need affirmation and Council could have done better
