Our
father
and
our
god,
we
want
to
tell
you
thank
you
for
this
new
day
for
the
privileges,
the
responsibilities,
the
grace
and
mercies
and
the
blessings
that
come
along
with
it.
I
want
to
tell
you
ask
you
tell
you
thank
you,
father
for
for
this
government
body
that
assembled
here
today
together
today
for
this
meeting
father,
we've
almost
gotten
used
to
seeing
government
at
every
level,
not
work
together
on
the
world
stage,
the
national
level,
even
our
state
level.
B
I'm
asking
you
lord,
to
help
this
the
local
government
to
be
able
to
work
together
in
the
days
and
weeks
to
come,
and
I
thank
you,
father
for
even
the
mayor,
that's
coming
to
be
as
they
dovetailed
with
the
other
council
people
for
these
blessings
and
others
that
you
see
we
stand
in
need
of.
We
ask
to
the
highest
government
that
there
ever
has
been
and
will
be.
It
is
in
the
precious
powerful
name
of
jesus
that
we
pray,
amen.
C
D
A
Good
afternoon,
I
am
pleased
to
present
the
next
prop
the
proclamation
we
have
one
today
and
it's
on
behalf
of
dr
kenneth
evans,
and
I
see
dr
evans
in
the
back
there,
and
I
just
want
to
say
how
pleased
I
am
to
present
this
proclamation
as
dr
evans
is
retiring
about
the
same
time
as
me.
A
So
I'm
so
happy
to
do.
This
got
to
know
dr
evans
very,
very
well
during
many
natural
disasters,
but
especially
during
hurricane
harvey,
and
we
got
to
work
together
very
closely,
and
I
thank
you
for
that,
and
I
thank
you
for
all
that.
Lamar
has
contributed
to
our
economy,
to
our
citizens
and
to
your
students.
A
And
now.
Therefore,
I
becky
ames
mayor
of
the
city
of
beaumont,
say
farewell
and
extend
our
appreciation
to
dr
kenneth
r
evans
for
his
leadership
and
collaboration
within
our
community.
I
consider
it
an
honor
to
proclaim
saturday
june
5th
2021
as
kenneth
r
evans
day
in
beaumont
in
honor
of
dr
evans
accomplishments,
as
well
as
highlighting
the
new
ken
evans
cycling
route
of
southeast
texas,
a
bridge
too
far.
A
Accordingly,
I
have
set
my
hand
and
I've
caused
the
seal
of
the
city
of
beaumont
to
be
a
fix
signed
today
june,
1st
2021
and
again
so
much
has
happened
under
your
tenure.
President
evans,
dr
evans,
and
we
appreciate
you,
and
I
would
really
love
it.
If
you
would
come
up
and
accept,
this
proclamation
feel
free
to
shake
everyone's
hands
and
say
a
few.
A
A
E
I
had
no
idea
that
that
route
was
going
to
be
named
the
bridge
too
far.
That's
awesome.
The
route
that
we
actually
ride
on
takes
us
from
spindletop
gladys
city
and
we
put
our
foot
down
in
louisiana
and
come
back,
so
it's
called
the
louisiana
ride,
at
least
until
it's
been
renamed.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you
for
all
you've
done
on
behalf
of
lamar
university.
E
We
are
indeed
a
partnership
between
the
university
and
the
city.
I
know
the
city
is
better
because
of
us
and
we're
better
because
of
the
city.
So
thank
you
for
all.
You
have
done
on
behalf
of
lamar
south
park
and
our
students,
and
I
wish
you
all
the
very
best
as
the
city
goes
forward
under
your
leadership.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
Now
would
be
the
time
for
any
citizen
who
wishes
to
speak
if
you
would
like
to
make
public
comment
today
on
scheduled
agenda
items,
one
through
three,
which
is
the
consent
agenda
and
five
and
six
which
were
discussion.
Items
item
number
four
has
already
been
heard
in
a
joint
public
hearing
between
the
planning,
commission
and
the
city
council.
So
it's
not
open
for
comment.
However,
you
may
speak
on
one
through
three
five.
A
Six,
if
you
would
like
to-
and
you
haven't
already
done
so-
please
fill
out
the
green
slip
at
the
rear
of
the
room
and
hand
it
to
the
city
clerk
at
the
front
of
the
room.
She
will
call
out
your
name.
We
would
appreciate,
if
you
keep
your
comments
to
three
minutes.
The
green
light
will
come
on
when
you
approach
the
podium
and
the
red
light
will
come
on
when
your
time
is
up.
A
If
you're
here
to
speak
on
any
other
item
today,
I
will
open
up
the
microphone
at
the
end
of
our
general
business
for
that
purpose.
But
right
now
it's
for
one
two,
three
five
six,
I
don't
have
any
mirror.
Is
there
no
one
that
wishes
to
speak
there
appearing
to
be?
No
one
counsel.
May
I
have
a
motion
please,
on
the
consent
agenda.
A
G
Thank
you
mayor,
mr
attorney
on
item
number
two,
which
is
on
the
tri-con
contract,
one
of
the
the
delivery
costs
for
the
diesel.
I'm
assuming
the
gasoline
2
is
5
cents
per
gallon.
Is
that
not
that's
not
listed
in
the
resolution.
G
A
G
Mayor
on
item
number
three,
which
is
for
the
mosquito
control,
the
looks
like
this
original
agreement
goes
back
to
2018,
but
this
amendment
that
we're
doing
today
it
only
goes
through
june.
30Th-
is
this
just
a
one-time
purchase
that
they
have
funds
and
but
then
a
new
contract
will
be
coming
here
soon.
It
won't.
H
Be
a
new
contract,
it's
just
an
amendment,
my
understanding,
kenneth
coleman's
here
our
public
health
director.
So
we
received
these
funds
and
they
were
planning
a
summit
which
they
were
not
able
to
hold
because
of
cobid
19,
and
then
they
reduced
the
amount,
and
this
is
approval
for
the
mosquito
control.
So
we
can
use
those
funds
actually
just
to
pass
through
jefferson
county
all
right.
Thank
you.
A
H
American
council
line
number
four
is
to
consider
a
request
for
the
conveyance
and
dedication
of
private
streets
and
infrastructure
located
in
wood,
hollow
town,
homes,
sections
one
and
two
to
the
city
of
beaumont
allen,
cramer
who's.
The
president
of
the
homeowners
association
has
requested
that
the
city
accept
maintenance
again
of
the
private
street,
known
as
wood
hollow
town,
homes,
private
drive
and
its
infrastructure.
H
A
Thank
you,
council.
You
have
heard
the
reading
of
item
number
four.
I
believe
we
discussed
this
in
detail
at
the
joint
public
hearing.
Is
there
a
motion?
Please
there's
a
motion
for.
I
A
I
A
A
J
So,
as
you
can
see
on
this
slide
here
for
the
corona
by
estate
and
local
fiscal
refunds,
use,
there's
four
broad
categories
of
use.
The
first
one
is
support
public
health
emergency
expenditures
and
to
address
negative
economic
impacts
caused
to
the
public
by
the
health
emergency.
The
second
one
is
replace
lost
public
sector
revenue.
J
J
J
This
page
right
here
basically
gives
a
summary
of
those
projects
in
red
and
then
also
we're
going
to
look
at
a
recovery
of
lost
revenue
that
would
go
to
the
general
fund
in
the
amount
of
3
million
dollars.
So
you
can
see,
the
total
of
the
proposed
uses
is
just
a
little
under
the
16.5
million
that
we
received.
H
Just
let
that
sit
up
there,
that's
a
lot
for
you
to
absorb
at
one
time:
molly,
villarreal,
john
pippens
who's,
an
engineer
he's
our
main
engineer
at
the
water
water
department
here
in
the
front
row
sitting
next
to
molly.
They
can
speak
to
some
of
these
projects
or
all
of
them
or
todd,
and
I
can
but
it's
important
number
one
you're
not
going
to
come
back
and
vote
on
these
until
we
would
go
out
for
a
bid,
but
we
do
we
would
like
direction.
H
H
Don't
necessarily
have
to
do
it
today,
but
if
you're
not
comfortable
today
very
soon,
because
then
we're
going
to
start
working
with
engineering
firms
start
moving
these
projects
forward
wherever
they
are
and
they're
different
stages.
But
I
would
just
look
at
each
one
of
these
right
now
and
then
ask
any
questions
you
may
have
today.
H
F
H
The
the
next
discussion
adam
that
I'm
gonna
walk
you
through.
I
think
it's
important
that
the
new
mayor
is
seated.
In
my
opinion,
this-
maybe
not
so
much
because
these
are
projects
that
I
mean
we
have
two
new
councilmembers
sitting
up
here
now,
but
the
council,
the
mayor
and
other
councilors
we've
been
talking
about
some
of
these
projects
for.
I
F
Some
of
it's
also
water,
and
I
very
much
agree
with
the
purpose
of
us.
Using
these
funds
for
infrastructure.
Can
you
kind
of
break
down
in
a
little
bit
more
detail
what
we
actually
hope
to
see
from
each
one
of
these
delineated
items?
There's
like
seven
down
here,
three,
six,
seven
and
and
for
the
public's
benefit.
H
There's
not
much
brown
water,
we
get.
I
got
a
report
every
day
monday
through
friday.
How
many
calls
we
have
for
brown
water
some
days
close
to
zero
on
a
high
day?
You
might
see
around
10,
so
you
know
when
you
have
42
000
customers.
I
wouldn't
say
that's
a
lot
of
people,
but
let's
talk
about
these
pine
street
water
production
plant.
H
These
those
improvements
and
again
molly
and
john-
can
speak
more
to
it
than
I
can
in
greater
detail.
However,
those
are
priorities
that
bart
barkowiak
and
mike
harris,
molly
and
john
pippins
and
key
staff
have
identified
that's
more
related
to
hurricane
harvey,
meaning
what
we've
discovered
as
top
priorities.
That
need
to
be
that
we
need
to
move
forward
with.
H
First,
two
projects
are
at
the
water
production
plant
located
on
pine
street
water
production
system
repairs.
That's
a
small
relative
number,
it's
in
the
capital
program
proposed
program,
but
there's
always
improvements
identified
within
the
system.
We
operate
a
53
million
dollar
water
department
for
water
and
sewer
and
infrastructure.
So
it's
by
far
the
largest
department
we
have
on
an
expenditure
basis.
Is
the
water
department
paid
for
by
our
customers,
so
1.4
million
that's
again
going
to
be
priorities
that
bart
molly
might
have
within
the
system
could
be
related
to
water
lines?
F
H
They,
let's
do
this,
how
about
this?
Let
me
let
me
give
you
again
the
proposed
capital
program.
Let
me
pass
it
around
and
then
I
can
tell
you
what
page
it's
on
and
you
go
to
that
page
and
you
can
read
the
description
because
the
description
as
you
know,
the
public
doesn't
get
this
they
can,
but
the
who.
What
when,
where?
Why
is
in
here?
So
let
me
let
me
pass
that
around
and
then
we'll
start
with
number
one.
You
can
read
the.
H
Description
again,
it's
a
lot
to
absorb.
This
is
the
capital
program
for
the
benefit
of
the
public.
H
H
A
F
I
guess
my
detailed
question
is
the
we're,
including
additional
caustic
storage
capacity
to
meet
tceq
requirements
and
replacing
the
polymer
dosage
system.
Can
you
explain
what
that
is
to
me.
K
Good
afternoon,
mayor
council,
the
pine
street
chemical
improvements
project
after
hurricane
harvey
as
you're
aware
during
hurricane
harvey
beaumont
was
an
island,
and
so
there
were
some
supply
chain
issues
with
getting
chemicals
to
beaumont.
We
had
enough
chemicals
on
site
to
work
through
hurricane
harvey
before
chemicals
started
coming
back
to
us,
but
this
pro
priesta
nichols
was
hired
to
evaluate
the
water
treatment
plant
on
pine
street
and
identify
any
areas
where
we
can
become
more
resilient
and
so
one
of
their
recommendations.
K
We're
also
going
to
include
we
plan
to
include
additional
areas
for
future
tanks.
In
case,
we
need
to
expand
further
in
the
future,
remove
and
dispose
of
the
older
caustic
tanks,
the
ones
that
we're
replacing
with
the
new
ones
and
then
improve
our
chemical
pumps
and
let
level
measurement
equipment
so
that
we're
better
able
to
dose
mix
and
keep
track
of
our
inventory
and
so
and
also
to
the
polymer
dosage
system,
which
is
part
of
the
chemical
improvements.
F
K
So
the
basin
sludge.
A
K
The
basin
sludge
strain
rehabilitation,
there
are
six
sludge
drain
valves
and
the
piping
at
our
three
older
clarifier
basins
at
the
pine
street
plant
that
are
scheduled
to
be
replaced
and
with
the
improvements
that
we
will
plan
to
move
the
valves
to
a
location
where
it
is
easier
and
safer
to
dig
if
we
have
to
access
those
valves
for
any
reason,
secure
them
with
a
manhole
so
that
it
is
easier
to
access.
You
don't
have
to
excavate
it,
and
also
too
will
improve
our
ability
to
flush
the
lines
for
any
future
blockages.
K
So
this
is
the
sludge
that
is
generated
through
the
treatment
of
the
surface
water.
You
know
the
water
has
sediments
in
it
makes
it
cloudy
muddy
looking.
So
it's
essentially
that
mud
that
we're
extracting
from
the
from
the
water
as
we
treat
it
that
falls
down
and
it
can
plug
a
line
just
like
you
would
clog
a
drain
in
your
home
in
the
sink,
and
so
just
like
at
your
home.
You
have
access
points.
You
have
clean
outs
or
you're
able
to
go
through
a
drain
to
unstop
that
line.
M
H
H
So
if
we
had
to
come
up
with
additional
monies,
we
we
have
it
or
we
could
use
cash
from
our
fund
balance.
D
I
Thank
you
mayor.
I
understand
that
some
of
these
projects
have
been
on
here
on
the
list
for
some
time.
But
what
can
we
speak
to
the
ones
that
you
feel
like
are
critical,
that
this
is
not
just
a
wish
list,
or
is
this
all
the
critical
ones.
B
H
No,
these
are,
these
are
all
new
since,
since
harvey
meaning
you
we
do
sewer
rehab
every
day
and
have
for
years
and
years
and
years,
but
that
dollar
amount
that's
a
lot
of
additional
work,
but
all
those
other
projects
you
see
are
new
projects
or,
as
a
result
of
the
the
storm,
either
a
meld
or
harvey.
A
A
H
H
H
Which
projects
did
we
make
application
for
that
federal
funding,
for
which
some
of
them,
you
could
not
engineer
or
start
engineering
or
you
lose
the
money?
Some
projects,
you
could
engineer
depends
on
which
agency
you
would
make
apple
making
application
for
so,
but
these
are
priorities
from
our
staff
who
works
in
these
facilities
and
works
out
there
in
the
field
every
day.
H
F
F
K
Most
of
these
are,
these
are
all
necessary
repairs.
These
are
larger
items.
They're
they're
not
lodging
they're,
not
large
enough
to
warrant,
maybe
a
a
separate
cip
project,
but
they
are
of
a
dollar
value
that
are
larger
than
what
we
would
cover
in
our
normal
operating
budget.
Some
examples
that
we've
presented
to
council
before
are
the
computer
upgrade
at
the
for
the
generators
at
pine
street
that
was
brought
to
you
a
few
months
ago.
K
The
we
recently
awarded
the
tank
rehabilitation
at
loeb,
and
we
also
have
the
caustic
improvements
that
were
adding
the
caustic
system
to
lobe,
as
directed
by
the
water
quality
study
that
free
sun
nickels
prepared
for
us
also,
the
72
inch
line
repair.
So
those
were
some.
Those
are
the
type
of
projects
that
fit
into
that
category.
K
H
No,
it's
not,
and
I
I
can
understand,
you're
going
to
want
to
know
and
from
a
time
standpoint
it
may
be
easier
to
do
away
with
that
line
item
and
just
go
ahead
and
increase
sewer
main
rehab
to
7.4
million.
C
H
Plausible
doable
practical
meaning
that
way,
you
know
up
front
you're,
going
to
move
forward
to
try
to
spend
7.4
million
on
sewer,
rehab
citywide
and
any
repairs
that
come
up
again.
50
000
or
more
they're
going
to
come
to
you
for
a
vote.
We
could
just
pay
for
that
out
of
water
revenue
bonds
may
be
easier,
maybe
because
then
we're
not
looking
to
identify
and
move
some
of
those
items
as
quickly
trying
to
meet
this
timeline
that
the
federal
government
has
set.
So
that's.
H
This
was
our
best
recommendation
over
the
last
two
weeks.
You
know
and
maybe
a
little
further.
We
knew
this
money
was
possibly
coming,
but
so
if
the
council
wanted
to
feel
like,
we
know
where
this
money
is
going,
it's
easier
to
explain
to
the
public
increase
the
sewer
main
rehab
to
seven
point
four
million
and
we'll
do
away
with
that
water
production
system,
repairs
lining
up.
H
A
Get
at
the
time
from
this
recovery
fund-
and
I
do
want
to
clarify,
though,
that
even
if
we
move
this,
the,
what
we
were
talking
about
here
was
not
just
general
repairs,
because
I
don't
want
that
to.
H
We
do
that
every
day,
every
month
of
every
year,
that's
what
we
do
this
is.
These
are
just
priorities
again
by
our
staff,
knowing
that
we
have
the
16.5
million.
How
can
we
jump
on
these
projects
in
a
timely
manner
which
great
for
the
public
and
also
it's
going
to
meet
those
federal
mandates
of
when
we
have
to
spend
the
money.
F
Okay
mayor,
I
categorize
it
as
general
repairs
because
that
seems
to
be
the
way
it's
described
in
the
capital
plan
and
I
understand
the
difference
between
the
specific
projects
that
molly
just
delineated,
such
as
improvements
at
loeb
versus
general
repairs.
But
it
talks
about
repairs
and
that's
why
I
was
asking
those
questions.
But
now
we're
talking
about
conflating
water
production
system,
repairs,
which
molly
has
explained,
incorporate
specific
things
as
part
of
sewer
main
rehab
and
to
my
understanding
those
are
separate
things
and
the
sewer
main
rehab,
with
the
six
million
dollars
allocated
to
that.
C
K
So
those
involve
the
pipe
bursting
contracts
that
you
know.
We
recently
had
five
large
contracts
related
directly
to
the
sewer
rehab,
such
as
the
dow
and
west
pipe
bursting.
The
pipe
bursting
work
order,
contract
phase,
three,
the
sewer
evaluation
contracts,
and
so
we
anticipate
continuing
forward
with
the
pipe
bursting,
as
well
as
identifying
any
critical
improvements
that
may
be
found
as
lan
works
through
the
second
phase
of
their
sewer
model
for
the
system.
If
they
identify
anything,
that's
urgent.
That
needs
us
to
respond
quickly.
C
K
F
H
F
C
H
As
I
sit
here
today,
I
think
it'd
probably
be
easier
to
explain
to
the
public
and-
and
I
know
that
sewer
is
very
important
to
the
council-
y'all
approved
more
work
in
the
last
two
years
than
we've
seen
in
30
years,
and
this
would
just
be.
On
top
of
that
I
mean
we
were
planning
to
do
this
work
anyway,
but
we
could
do
it
now
and
again.
Maybe
you
want
to
spend
7.4
million
instead
of
6
million
okay.
L
K
We
are
looking
at
with
lan
they're,
starting
the
flow
monitoring
portion
of
the
study,
and
we
are
also
looking
at
doing
additional
flow
monitoring
for
the
main
trunk
lines
that
come
to
the
sewer
plant,
and
so
we're
looking
to
find
the
best
way
to
monitor
and
see
if
we're
seeing
a
reduction
in
the
impact
to
the
system
and
lan
is
also
working
with
us
on
better
evaluating
the
data
that
we
do
collect
from
our
lift
stations
so
that
we
can
draw
make
better
decisions
in
the
future.
If.
K
I'm
sorry
lan,
lockwood,
andrews
and
newnam
is
the
consultant
engineer
who
was
hired
to
perform
the
sanitary
sewer
master
plan
for
the
city.
So
they
are
evaluating
holistically
the
entire
system
and
making
recommendations.
We
completed
phase
one
last
year
and
they
have
started
on
the
second
phase
here
recently.
F
Okay,
this
is
not
a
molly
question.
This
is
going
in
a
completely
different
direction
and
might
tie
into
some
of
the
three
million
dollars
that
is
being
proposed
for
recovery
of
lost
revenue
to
the
general
fund.
F
We
are
all
probably
aware
that
the
texas
legislature
passed
house
bill.
I
think
it
was
1925
and
it
has
been
sent
to
the
governor
for
his
signature,
and
he
has
said
that
he's
going
to
sign
it
and
if
you
don't
know
what
that
is,
that
is
legislation
which
is
saying
that
it
is
going
to
become
the
responsibility
of
the
cities
in
texas,
as
well
as
other
local
governments,
to
make
sure
that
homeless
people
are
not
camping
out
on
public
places
and
further.
F
F
A
I
didn't
want
to
speak
to
that.
We
have
discussed
it
quite
a
bit,
but
it's
going
to
conflict
as
I
understand
it
with
we
we're
kind
of
in
a
catch-22
yeah.
H
On
that
bill
fully
aware
of
the
legislation
we've
been
following
it
we
talked
about
it
today.
Actually,
so
I
think
I
think
councilmember
gets
my
recommendation,
make
a
report
to
the
full
council.
Maybe
when
the
new
mayor
sworn
in
and
make
a
report,
you
know.
Where
is
your
committee?
What
are
your
recommendations?
What's
the
committee's
recommendations,
I
don't
recommend
spending
the
16.3
million
on
this
because
number
one
there's
there's
timelines
again
that
we
have
to
meet.
H
It
would
take
too
long
to
put
that
program
together
by
the
way
you
have
to
fund
it
every
year.
If
you
start
start
a
program,
so
there's
a
lot
to
it.
You're
gonna,
once
you
come
back
and
make
a
report
to
the
full
council
and
let's
say
the
council
adopts
or
implements
some
new
policy
or
program,
let's
just
say
a
program
again,
you
have
to
fund
it
every
year.
H
F
Not
even
not
close
at
all,
I
said
that
three
million
dollars
and
I'm
and
I'm
not
suggesting
that
we
use
three
million
dollars.
I'm
suggesting
that
we
try
to
identify
some
property,
some
land,
that
we
can
use
to
house
the
homeless
and
provide
them
with
basic
services,
whether
that
be
with
a
structure
or
allowing
tent
camping
like
they're
doing
in
austin.
A
H
H
A
Plus,
if
you
make
a
commitment
now
certain
things
you
have
to
continue
them,
so
we
have
to
really
make
be
careful
in
the
decisions
that
we
make
and
I'm
I'm
speaking
because
I
am
still
the
mayor
for
another
month
and
I'm
hoping
that
no
one's
suggesting
that
we
haven't
shouldn't
move
forward
with
anything
until
the
new
mayor's
seated,
because
that's
been
said
several
times
on
different
items
by
you,
council
member,
with
all
due
respect.
I
am
still
here
standing
right
here
and
I've
got
a
lot
of
experience.
Hurricane
season
started
today.
A
If
I
don't
think
we
should
sit
on
anything
that
has
to
do
with
our
drainage
or
sewer
or
anything
like
that.
The
whole
reason
why
this
is
before
us
is
because
of
what
we
went
through
with
hurricane
harvey,
and
you
know
I
I
sat
on
council
with
three
new
mayors
and
I
never
heard
that
come
up
continuously
like
it
has
this
time,
but
I'll
I'm
treating
with
you
with
the
same
respect
that
I
hope
that
you'll
continue
to
treat
me
over
this
next
month.
A
F
F
A
Okay,
well,
I
thought
that
excuse
me.
If
I
misunderstood,
I
thought
at
the
beginning
of
this
summary
of
proposed
uses
for
the
16.3
you
you
ask
if
that
should
happen.
As
far
as
waiting
my
opinion
is,
this
is
really
important.
We
have
to
give
staff
some
direction,
it's
important
because
we're
in
hurricane
season
and
I'm
experienced
enough
to
know
what
we
need
to
do.
A
I
went
through
hurricane
harvey
and,
and
so
with
all
due
respect,
I
just
really
think
as
long
as
I'm
sitting
here,
I'm
still
the
mayor
and
I
don't
think
there's
anyone
up
here
that
wants
to
put
anything
off
as
far
as
giving
staff
a
recommendation
on
this
three
thousand.
I
mean
sorry
three
million
dollars
to
if
we
want
to
take
some
of
it
out
for
the
homeless,
and
I
think
that
the
entire
council
that
would
be
giving
that
direction
needs
to
have
a
work.
A
We
need
to
have
a
work
session,
certainly
with
the
city
attorney.
So
he
because
I
have
heard
all
the
everything
that
you
talked
about
and
the
implications
that
we
can,
that
it
could
suggest
if
we
are
to
go
ahead
and
go
into
something
without
making
a
good
plan,
because
there
are
some
things
that
are
going
to
be
very,
very
difficult
in
the
next
few
years
for
all
cities,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
tied
up
in
the
courts
for
a
few
years
too.
A
So
that's
just
my
opinion,
but
I
just
think
the
rest
of
the
council,
especially
the
new
members,
need
to
understand
what
this
house
bill
says
and
what
how
it
can
affect
us
and
how
it
can
affect
us
from
the
national
level
as
well.
Not
just
state.
Yes,.
G
G
L
H
H
If
we
have
the
engineering
and
ready
to
go
out
for
bids
we'll
do
that
in
most
cases
we
have
to
engineer
these
projects.
It
takes
a
little
time,
but
we
would
move
forward
with
those
five
immediately.
M
H
Yeah
we've
already
spent
that
money
we're
reimbursing
ourselves
but
it'll
go
into
our
fund
balance
because
we
weren't
anticipating
this
revenue,
so
your
fund
balance
again
is
extremely
healthy
right
now
and
it
allows
you
some
flexibility
as
you
go
into
future
years
as
to
what
you
may
want
to
do
with
that
those
funds.
H
G
I
would
support
moving
the
money
into
the
sewer
main
rehab,
the
changing
that
to
7.4.
A
Let
me
ask
molly
a
question
first,
if
you
don't
mind
before
I
comment
on
that.
So
obviously
this
is
what
you've
recommended,
but.
A
A
F
All
right
last
last
question
on
this
sewer
main
rehab
by
adding
another
1.4
million
dollars
into
it.
Can
you
tell
the
public
by
rehabilitating
our
sewer
mains,
will
that
help
enhance
the
ability
of
citizens
to
flush
their
toilets
when
it
is
raining.
H
The
answer
is
yes,
at
the
same
time,
it
creates
additional
problems
out
there
right
not
related
to
sewer
what
happens
is
and
you've
been
on
a
number
of
these
emails.
Councilman
specifically,
what
happens
is
let's
say
you
have
holes
and
problems
in
a
sewer
line
right
so
when
it
rains
all
that
rain
water
goes
into
the
sewer
system
and
backs
up
the
system.
So
now
you
put
in
new
pipe
close
off
all
those
all
those.
H
If
you
had
all
these
infiltration
issues
right
so
now
that
water
that
may
have
drained
into
our
system
caused
problems
over
here
now
they
have
flooding
or
drainage
issues
on
their
residential
property
or
on
their
commercial
property,
which
is
their
responsibility.
I'm
just
saying
it
creates
drainage
issues.
In
a
lot
of
cases,
you've
called
us
out
there
probably
to
five
different
homeowners
in
the
last
couple
months,
so
we
go
out
there
and
say
yeah,
that's
on
you!
It's
on
your
property,
yeah,
your
property
doesn't
drain
anymore
because
it
used
to
go
in
our
sewer
system.
C
F
And-
and
I
bring
that
up
for
that
specific
point,
mr
manager,
because
people
need
to
understand
what
we're
doing
here-
we're
we're
closing
we,
we
don't
want
rain
water
infiltrating
into
our
sewer
lines,
okay,
and
that
is
not
the
way
to
drain
your
yard.
We've
that
that's
that's
not
the
purpose
here,
but
by
making
the
improvements
that
we're
recommending
here.
F
Yes,
it
is
causing
another
type
of
problem.
It
is
causing
some
flooding
issues
which
is
incumbent
upon
the
homeowners
to
deal
with,
because
that
will
be
the
next
thing.
You
know
when
I
first
got
here
on
council,
the
roads
were
the
things
that
were
really
the
hot
button
item.
At
that
time
we
did
a
lot
of
improvements
to
the
roads.
F
It's
going
to
cause
still
another
problem,
though
it's
going
to
cause
some
flooding
issues
in
some
homes.
So
it's
going
to
be
incumbent
upon
the
homeowners
to
figure
out
a
way
to
move
that
water
and
a
lot
of
times.
This
is
in
their
backyard
out
to
the
front
yard,
where
it
can
go
into
the
streets,
and
am
I
saying
that
correctly,
all
right.
N
Our
staff
for
the
attention
that's
been
given
to
rectifying
the
problems,
whether
it
be
street
and
drainage,
water
and
sewer.
We've
made
a
tremendous
advancements
in
recent
years
and
getting
things
done
so
we
are
moving
in
the
right
direction
and.
H
H
Where
are
we
having
the
biggest
problems
in
the
city
of
beaumont,
and
you
know
they've
done
smoke,
testing
which
you've
heard
about,
and
so
they
analyze
these
areas
so
they're
going
to
come
back
and
make
a
recommendation
on
specific,
targeted
areas
for
sewer
rehab
in
the
city,
based
on
where
we're
having
the
greatest
number
of
issues.
How
many
times
we've
been
out
there
to
repair,
you
know
a
certain
line
calls
within
a
certain
area,
so
they
have
all
that
data.
H
L
L
A
Statistics
on
all
of
it:
okay,
all
right,
we
do
have
another
work
session
or
a
discussion
item.
H
H
H
Is
repaying
the
debt
that
the
city
council
borrows
from
time
to
time
not
for
water
and
sewer
projects,
that
is,
for
street
projects,
drainage
projects
and
general
improvement
projects?
Okay,
so
go
back
10
plus
years
our
tax
rate
was
64
cents
for
a
long
time,
and
then
the
council
wanted
to
borrow.
We
borrowed
43
million
dollars.
The
city
did
approved
by
the
council
and
at
that
time
we
said,
look
you
can
borrow
those
43
million
and
we
lined
out
where
you
know.
H
Specifically,
we
were
going
to
spend
that
43
million
roughly
10
projects
we've
completed
every
one
of
them
except
riverfront
park,
so
we
had
to
increase
the
tax
rate
from
64
cents
to
69
cents
because
of
that
borrowing
that
43
million
it's
like.
If
you
were
to
go,
buy
a
new
car
and
you
said
I'm
going
to
finance
that
new
car
over
60
months.
H
You
know
how
much
your
note's
going
to
be
well,
we
know
how
much
we're
going
to
have
to
pay
back
per
year
and
that's
why?
Every
year
a
certain
portion
of
the
property
tax
rate
goes
to
repaid
debt,
so
I'd
say
maybe
three
or
four
years
ago
we
went
to
the
council
and
we
said
all
right.
How
much
do
you
want
to
borrow
this
time?
H
H
We
just
want
you
to
start
thinking
about
it,
because
you
will
have
to
make
a
decision
within
probably
the
next
I'd
say
a
month
or
two,
so
the
old
rule
of
thumb
was
for
us.
This
is
city
of
beaumont.
This
isn't
every
city
in
america,
but
for
the
city
of
beaumont,
based
on
our
debt
and
our
revenues
and
expenditures.
If
you
wanted
to
borrow
10
million
dollars.
H
H
H
So
let's
talk
about
the
first
eye
line
item
street
rehab.
So
when
we
borrow
the
10
million
three
or
four
years
ago,
the
goal
was
to
try
to
spend
five
million
a
year
on
street
rehabilitation,
citywide
street
rehabilitation
in
summary,
you're,
actually
you're,
either
doing
asphalt,
overlays
or
you're
doing
concrete
repair.
H
H
So
probably
maybe
it's
been.
Let's
just
say
eight
years
ago
the
city
council
said:
how
do
we
know
what
condition
our
streets
are
in,
so
staff
worked?
We
found
a
company
reputable
company
that
came
in
and
they
have
this
technology
where
they
can
drive
our
80
square
miles
in
the
city
of
beaumont
and
determine
the
pavement
type.
H
H
And
the
council-
I
don't
know-
maybe
two
years
ago,
said:
let's
update,
let's
update
this
index,
we
call
it
this
listing.
That's
this
thick
of
every
street
in
the
city
of
beaumont,
so
that
company
came
back
in
the
council,
approved
the
contract,
and
now
we
have
an
updated
index
again.
Every
street
in
beaumont,
fair
poor
gives
you
a
rating.
H
H
H
You
know:
we've
had
three
public,
I'm
sorry,
four
public
works
directors
in
the
last
10
years
and
we've
had
some
really
good
ones,
and
we
have
an
excellent
one
right
now
in
bart
barkowiak
and
working
with
he's
not
here
today
he
needed
to
take
a
vacation,
he
did,
but
you
know
and
working
with
molly.
You
know
we
have
really
good
people
right
so,
but
they
they're
the
ones
that
make
the
recommendation
to
me
to
y'all.
H
So
this
company
that
came
back
in
and
re-evaluated
or
updated
our
index
is
telling-
and
I
made
this
report
to
the
council-
I
believe
four
or
five
months
ago-
but
before
you
know
you
guys
were
elected-
and
you
know
former
councilman
mutan's
here
and
roy
west
is
here.
So
that's
good.
H
You
know,
because
you're
going
to
be
dealing
with
this
one
of
you
will
for
a
long
time.
Mayor
ames
has
dealt
with
this
for
30
years
and
she
knows
the
ins
and
outs
as
well
as
anyone
so
back
to
street
rehab.
What
they
said
was
this
council.
The
city
needs
to
spend
eight
million
dollars
a
year
and
I
may
be
given
more
information.
You
guys
don't
know
how
this
works
and
and
one
member
out
here
does
not
so
that's
why
I'm
going
through
this.
You
need
to
spend
eight
million
dollars
a
year
to
make
progress.
H
If
you
continue
to
spend
five
million
a
year,
you're
gonna
lose
ground
right.
So
they
said
you
spent
eight
million
dollars
a
year,
which
is
a
lot
to
spend.
We
we're
going
to
have
a
challenge
trying
to
find
the
contractors
to
do
the
work.
We
think
we
can
do
it,
but
it's
going
to
be
it'll,
be
a
challenge,
so
we're
starting
off
with
the
baseline
of
staff,
is
going
to
recommend
that
we
borrow
16
million
dollars
to
try
to
meet
that
eight
million
a
year
threshold.
H
H
And
if
you
look
at
the
description
in
the
capital
program,
he's
saying,
if
you
spend
2
million
a
year
you're
getting
to
about
20
of
your
drainage
infrastructure
that
we're
responsible
for
so
that's
where
the
4
million
comes
into
play,
and
then
this
is
new.
So
these
the
citywide
ditching
program,
we
do
ditching
every
day,
but
this
is
new
in
that
we
would
go
out
for
bids
and
hire
outside
contractors
to
do
this
work
just
like
we
do
with
pipe
bursting
and
large
water
mains
and
so
forth.
H
Storm
water,
pipe
inspections
and
point
repairs
would
be
higher
outside
groups
that
do
this
every
day.
That
really
know
what
they're
doing
to
go
inspect
our
large
stormwater
infrastructure
tell
us
where
we're
having
the
greatest
problems,
water,
intrusion
and
so
forth,
where
we
can
make
point
repairs
repair
specific
to
that
line,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
address
drainage
that
we
control
not
dd6,
we
control.
This
is
a
way
to
do
it.
H
H
H
If
the
council
wants
to
do
any
other
projects
on
that
list,
which
again
is
in
the
packet,
you
have
that's
on
top
of
22
million
and
we
have
to
pay
for
it
and
not
ask
you
to
make
a
decision
today,
but
you
will,
over
the
next
30
60
days,
got
to
get
you
thinking
along
the
lines,
so
we
meaning
we
we
try
to
keep
these.
You
don't
want
to.
You
don't
want
to
have
projects
in
the
pipeline
that
I
think
number
one
we're
not
going
to
put
them
on
hold.
H
H
What's
the
impact
going
to
be
on
the
tax
rate?
We
don't
we
don't
know
yet
it's
feasible.
It's
possible.
You
may
not
even
have
to
increase
the
tax
rate
to
do
that
because
of
this
additional
revenue,
it's
possible.
You
know
we
may
come
back
and
say
no,
it's
the
normal
two
cents
or
it's
one
cent
this
time
so
todd's
going
to
come
forward
and
tell
you
this
gets
more
complicated
because,
after
hurricane
laura
the
city,
the
mayor
knows
this.
H
H
J
All
right,
thank
you,
so
I'm
going
to
try
to
explain
this
the
best
I
can,
but
if,
if
there's
any
questions
as
we
go,
just
stop
me,
the
tax
rate
calculation
process
is
pretty
complicated,
there's
a
form
we
have
to
follow
it's
eight
pages
long
and
there's
70
calculations
or
questions
you
have
to
answer
in
order
just
to
calculate
our
tax
rate.
So
it's
it's
not
something.
That's
that's
easily
done,
but
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background.
J
Now
there
was
a
rollback
rate
that
tied
into
that
effective
rate.
The
rollback
rate
is
basically
the
effective
rate
plus
eight
percent.
This
was
prior
to
senate
bill.
Two,
it's
all
changed
now,
so
basically,
you
could
generate
an
increase
of
eight
percent
in
your
tax
revenue
without
voter
approval,
any
amount
greater
than
eight
percent
of
tax
revenue
would
allow
the
voter
to
file
for
a
petition
and
hold
an
election.
J
So
now
the
rollback
rate
is
called
the
voter
approval
rate
and
according
to
senate
bill
2,
it
can
only
be
three
and
a
half
percent
greater
than
what
was
called
the
effective
rate.
The
effective
rate
is
now
called
the
no
new
revenue
rate,
so
any
amount
above
the
three
and
a
half
percent
would
trigger
an
automatic
election
of
the
voters.
It
wouldn't
be
one
that
they
would
have
to
file
a
petition
for
it's
automatic,
but
there
was
a
clause
in
senate
bill
2..
J
It
said
if
there's
a
disaster
in
that
year,
you
can
file
basically
a
disaster
clause
and
ask
to
go
back
to
the
eight
percent
rate.
Instead
of
the
three
and
a
half
percent
rate,
so
when
we
came
to
y'all
during
the
budget
process
last
year
we
talked
about
it
and
council
gave
us
the
approval
to
fire
that
disaster
to
file
that
disaster
clause,
which
allowed
us
to
go
eight
percent.
J
J
So
that's
something
we're
going
to
talk
about
later
when
we
get
our
basically
our
approved
appraisal
roles
because
you
might
hear
from
citizens
hey,
I
don't
want
y'all
to
go
above
the
three
and
a
half
percent
tax
revenue
above
the
no
no
new
revenue
rate.
If
they
read
about
it,
but
we
have
this.
This
disaster
clause
that's
been
filed
that
allows
us
to
go
up
to
eight
percent,
so
it's
gonna,
be
it's
gonna,
be
tricky
to
figure
out
how
that
all
that's
gonna
work.
J
So,
as
a
city
manager
said,
the
preliminary
appraised
values
are
up
14,
so
there
could
be
a
situation
where
we
actually
need
to
lower
our
overall
tax
rate
unless
you
want
to
file
for
unless
there
isn't
going
to
be
an
automatic
election,
so
you
gotta,
remember
the
tax
rate
comes
in
two
parts:
it
has
the
m
o
part,
that's
maintenance
and
operations
that
goes
to
the
general
fund.
That's
the
rate
that
we
can
pretty
much.
We
have
leniency.
J
J
So
again,
like
we
said
we're
thinking
about
borrowing
in
excess
of
twenty
million
dollars.
Normally
that
would
be
a
two
percent,
a
two
cent
increase
in
our
tax
rate.
You
might
not
need
to
do
that
this
year,
because
the
appraised
values
are
so
high,
but
you
will
have
to
increase
your
ins
rate
by
those
two
cents
to
cover
those
debt
payments,
which
means
effectively
you're
taking
two
cents
away
from
from
the
general
fund.
Again,
we
don't
know
how
it's
all
going
to
shake
out.
J
A
A
H
Of
last
year
they
submitted
a
number,
and
then
they
had
to
go
back
and
redo
it,
because
it
was
incorrect.
So
and
again
we
have
to
turn
this
thing:
the
budget
in
by
charter
by
august,
the
15th
right.
So
what
that
means
is
when
we're
working
on
the
budget.
You
know
we're
talking
about
300
million
dollar
document
budget,
300
million
290
this
year
our
staff's
been
working
on
it
for
months
with
division
managers,
department,
directors,
and
so
it's
the
best
numbers.
You
have
basically
best
numbers.
H
C
H
Year,
it's
not,
I
mean
it's
set
in
stone,
but
you
do
have
some
flexibility
where
we
come
to
you
and
ask
you
to
approve
budget
amendments,
and
we
ought
to
be
able
to
tell
you
why,
which
we
do
so
things
definitely
change
so,
but
to
answer
your
questions,
it's
what
do
you
think
the
appraisal
district
will
give
us
this
so.
J
I
believe,
there's
by
law,
I
think
they're
supposed
to
give
us
the
certified
roles
by
july.
25Th
then,
after
that,
there's
some
give
and
take
between
the
appraisal,
district
and
the
city,
because
they
need
some
of
our
information
also
once
they
give
us
those
certified
roles,
but
I
think
also
by
the
new
law
under
senate
bill
2,
we
have
until
august
7th
to
provide
you
our
proposed
tax
rates.
Again
we
were
late
last
year
due
to
it
was
first
year,
so
there
was
errors.
N
N
I
saw
this
back
in
the
80s
when
charlton
paula,
transitioned
from
open
ditches
to
now.
Are
we
talking
about
a
transition
to
eliminate
some
of
the
city-wide
open
ditches,
or
are
we
we're
not
talking
about
it?.
H
N
Okay,
so
it
would
help
the
drainage,
it's
not
going
to
change
our
method
of
getting
excess
water
all
out
of
the
neighborhoods
when.
C
F
So
right
now,
as
I
understand
it,
city
ordinances
require
homeowners
to
maintain
their
own
ditch
unless
it's
at
a
depth
of
four
feet
or
more,
and
are
we
talking
about
going
into
neighborhoods,
where
homeowners
right
now
are
expected
to
maintain
their
own,
ditch
and
doing
ditching
work?
Or
are
we
talking
about
only
doing
ditching
work
on
ditches
that
are
four
feet
or
more
well?.
H
The
city
attorney
can
add
to
this.
What
what
that
means
is,
if
the
ditch
is
four
feet
in
depth
or
less
the
homeowner
is
responsible
for
mowing
it
and
maintaining
that's
what
we
mean
by
maintaining
mowing.
We
don't
expect
homeowners
to
go
out
and
grade
the
ditch
or
you
know
put
in
their
own.
You
know,
address
the
culverts
and
so
forth.
So
what
that
means
is
mowing
the
ditch.
H
So
every
ditch
you
drive
by
in
the
city,
if
it's
a
concrete,
ditch
in
the
city
of
beaumont,
it's
owned
by
drainage
district
six,
if
it's
a
grass,
ditch
it's
either
ours
or
dd6,
but
most
of
the
grass
stitches
along
the
roadway
in
front
of
a
home
in
business
or
the
city
of
beaumont's.
So
if
it's
four
feet
or
greater
it's
on
our
list
right
now
and
we,
the
city,
it's
actually
the
city
parks
department,
actually
does
the
mowing
of
those
ditches
four
feet
of
greater.
H
You
see
those
big
tractors
around
driving
around
the
city
every
day.
That's
what
they
do.
Primarily
I
mean
they're
they're
mowing
some
of
our
city
parks
we
contract
out
most
of
the
mowing
in
our
parks.
We
do
in-house,
we
maintain
ditches
greater
than
four
feet.
So
if
they're
four
feet
or
less
the
homeowner
business
is
responsible,
that's
the
way
it's
been
for
decades
and
decades.
H
F
M
How
do
they
as
far
as
if
they
need
to
dig
it
out
or
if
they
need
to
backfill
it?
Do
they
go
out
and
test
that,
or
does
it
go
by
complaints
or
whatever.
H
Our
our
engineering
division
is
involved
and
our
staff
at
streets
and
drainage
they'll
go
out
on
site
and
look
at
look
at
the
area
in
question
and
there's
a
lot
of
factors
that
come
into
play
with
those
engineers
know
what
they're
doing
and
then
make
an
assessment
on
what
needs
to
be
done
to
rectify
or
remedy
a
certain
situation.
And
this.
H
H
A
H
We'll
do
that
during
the
budget
process
and
probably
ought
to
start
that
a
little
earlier
this
year
just
to
have
enough
time
to
walk
everyone
through
it.
L
H
Maintaining
but
there's
there's
a
lot
of
you
know.
There
are
ditches
where
there's
litter
in
the
ditches
that
that
we
go
clean
out,
but
it
is
the
property
owner's
responsibility
if
it's
not
mowed
properly,
that
affects
drainage,
as
we
all
know,
so
we
can
sight
people
when
we
do
occasionally,
when
you
know
if
their
ditch
is
just
with
the
grass
has
grown
up
a
certain
depth.
You
know
we
can
try
to
get
them
to
correct
it.
But
let's
say
it's
a
vacant
home.
H
You
cannot
find
the
heirs,
it's
something
our
staff
works
through
all
the
time.
But
to
answer
your
question:
that's
it's
part
of
the
equation
because
it
definitely
will
affect
drainage.
Someone's
got
a
lot
of
trash
in
their
ditch
and
it's
impeding
the
flow
of
that
water.
It's
a
problem.
H
The
city's
authorized
us
there's,
there's
a
company
in
town,
it's
now
called
quest,
it
used
to
be
beaumont
products
and
services,
and
it's
people
with
mild
disabilities,
whether
they're,
physical,
mental
and
we've
had
this
great
relationship
with
them
great
success
story.
We've
worked
with
them
for
like
30
years,
beaumont
products
and
services.
Again,
it's
changed
her
name
to
quest
a
couple
years
ago,
but
we
spend
the
councils
authorized
it
a
lot
of
money.
H
They
employ
people
that
you
see
walking
across
the
city,
picking
up
litter,
cleaning
up
some
of
these
problem
areas
when
we
are
aware
of
those
problems,
we'll
ask
them
to
go
address
it
and
they
can
address
it
within
a
day.
H

I
think
going
back
to
what
councilman
turner
was
saying.
As
far
as
blowing
out
some
of
the
ditches
like
they'll
have
a
culvert
runs
under
the
driveway.
Is
that
the
responsibility
of
the
homeowner
or
does
the
city
blow
that
blow
those
call
for
top
now.
H
A
I
would
like
to
read
that,
at
the
close
of
the
city
council
meeting,
the
council
will
hold
an
executive
session
to
consider
matters
related
to
the
deliberation
of
the
purchase
exchange,
lease
or
value
of
real
property
in
accordance
with
section
551.072
of
the
government
code,
to
wit,
555
main
street,
consider
matters
related
to
contemplated
or
pending
litigation,
in
accordance
with
section
551.071
of
the
government
code
claim
of
lauren
lewis,
elizabeth
beth
m,
noble
individually
and
on
behalf
of
all
others.
Similarly
situated
versus
the
city
of
beaumont
case
number,
one.

I'll
now
move
to
citizen
comments.
If
you
would
like
to
speak
today-
and
you
haven't
already
done
so-
please
fill
out
the
green
slip
at
the
rear
of
the
room
and
hand
it
to
the
city
clerk
at
the
front
of
the
room.
She
will
call
out
your
name.
We
would
appreciate,
if
you
keep
your
comments

minutes.
As
I
mentioned

the
green

come
on

the
podium

the
red
light
will
come
on
when
your
time

O
Good
afternoon
council
mayor,
I
gave
some
paperwork
to
mr
belshaw.
He
can
pass
out
to
you
guys
and
look
at
it
a
little
later,
but
basically
I
wanted
to
make
the
city
aware
of
the
foundation
that
I'm
going
to
be
creating
soon
it'd
be
called,
make
ends
meet
a
foundation,
and
the
purpose
of
it
is
to
bridge
the
gap
and
help
single
parent
households
to
provide
hot
and
ready
food
for
their
family
to
start
off
once
a
week
whatever,
as
it
progresses,
will
obviously
put
more
time
into
it.
O
Maybe
several
days
a
week
and
well,
the
vision
is
to
provide
nutritious
bills
to
beaumont
single-parent
families,
on
food
assistance
programs,
snap
things
like
that.
The
purpose
is
at
this
point
in
time.
O
They
cannot
use
a
snap
card
to
purchase
ready
to
eat
hot
meals,
except
during
times
of
a
ice
storm
natural
disaster-
things
like
that
and
which
we
did
have
for
a
few
months,
but
it's
dried
up
as
of
march,
so
this
would
be
would
be
something
permanent,
I'll
have
to
secure
a
location,
a
commercial
kitchen
and
maybe
get
with
mr
boone
about
the
community
development
block,
grant
and
see
what
portion
could
be
funded
to
this
will
be
a
501c3.
O
No
one
will
be
salaried.
I
would
like
to
see
what
amount
of
money
could
be
allocated
towards
it
if
I
could
get
with
miss,
bruce
hart
and
see
the
figures
or
numbers
on
the
community
development
block
grant
what
kind
of
money
might
be
available
and
the
application
process
once
I
get
all
this
done,
this
is
going
to
take
several
months
to
do.
I've
been
looking
into
the
irs.
O
It
takes
two
months
at
least
just
to
get
the
the
501c3
approved
before
I
can
even
put
together
anything
to
get
the
the
secretary
of
state
and
irs
all
the
paperwork.
That
needs
to
be
done
so
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
I'll
be
coming
back
and
I'll
be
asking
for
your
help
in
many
ways
from
the
city
from
bisd
from
texas,
southeast
texas
food
bank,
from
citizens
in
general.
Anybody
that
wants
to
help
I'd
it'd
be
appreciated,
but
that
is
all.
I
F
F
We
had
an
incredibly
great
program
thanks
to
danny
blanchard,
offering
once
more
forest
lawn
and
barbarato
a
former
city
employee
of
many
many
years,
putting
together
an
incredible
incredible
program.
I
want
to
extend
my
appreciation
to
her
for
securing
major
katie
cook
as
the
keynote
speaker
for
yesterday.
F
F
That's
that's
an
incredible
feat!
Being
a
pilot
for
the
blue
angels.
Men
are
man
or
woman
she's,
the
first
female!
F
That's
done
that
before
before
that
she
was
in
the
military
on
active
duty,
and
you
know
she
told
the
story
of
you
know
being
summoned
to
save
a
group
of
marines
that
were
killed
that
were
engaged
in
a
firefight
in
afghanistan
and
she
was
one
of
her
first
missions
and
she
was
able
to
get
in
there
and
launch
some
tomahawk
missiles
and
take
out
the
bad
guys
and
save
a
crew
of
marines
and
there's
some
some
video
that
was
narrated
by
harrison
ford.
That
was
shown
yesterday.
F
Just
an
amazing
program.
The
southeast,
texas
veterans
services
group
did
the
flag
ceremonies
and
also
recognized
several
paralyzed
veterans
that
were
in
wheelchairs
that
were
also
in
attendance.
So
the
weather
was
perfect.
I
just
can't
say
enough
good
about
the
day
how
emotional
it
was
and
how
thankful
we
are
and
and
should
be
to
these
these
families
of
those
that
have
given
everything.
Thank
you
mayor.
M
A
Thank
you
anything
anything
okay.
I
do
not
have
anything
either.
So
thank
you
all
for
coming.
We
will
now
recess
into
executive
session.
