A
Lord,
we
thank
you
for
the
many
blessings
that
you've
given
we
ask
that
you
let
your
spirit
dwell
within
our
hearts
within
our
minds
guide
us
through
this
meaning,
forgive
us
for
those
things
that
we've
done

as
contrary
to
your
will.
We
ask

in
your
favor
lord.
We
ask
that
you

day
and

B
Okay,
we
do
not
have
any
presentations
or
proclamations
today,
so
now
would
be
the
time
for
any
citizen
who
wishes
to
speak.
If
you
would
like
to
make
comment
on
scheduled
agenda
items,
1,
4,
5,
6
or
the
consent
agenda,
the
time
to
do
so
is
now.
If
you
haven't
already
done
so,
and
you
would
like
to
speak
on
one
of
these
items,
please
fill
out
the
green
slip
and
hand
it
to
the
officer.
We
will
bring
you
in
when
it's
time
to
speak.
B
B
A
Item
a
be
pulled,
I
I
have
a
question
about
a.
B
Okay,
all
right
then,
or
will
you
amend
your
motion
council
member
to
to
remove
a
for
now?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
There's
a
motion.
Is
there
a
second
on
the
floor?
B
E
And
we
invoiced
them,
as
you
can
see
well
the
last
day
of
each
quarter,
so.
E
It
doesn't,
it
doesn't
fully,
reimburse
us
no
and
then
there's
there's
been
some
other
cleanups,
for
example,
college
the
college
bridge
close
to
interstate
10,
where
we
have
some
homeless
camps.
E
E
E
B
A
E
Well,
it's
supposed
to
just
do
mike
harris
is
here:
was
it
supposed
to
just
do
sewer,
manhole,
repair
city-wide?
And
you
know
I
don't
know
if
it
was
because
they
weren't
making
much
money
or
what
the
money
did.
I
mean
the
project.
Did
not
it
wasn't
like
a
single
project.
Wasn't
it
city-wide
yeah?
So
you
know.
A
B
H
Okay,
so
I'm
looking
at
this
in
a
little
bit
more
detail
and
I
see
that
their
mobilization
cost
alone
was
thirty
thousand
dollars.
So
that's
not
doing
work.
That's
getting
ready
to
do.
The
work
was
this
money
that
we
were
paying
them
out
of
the
capital
fund
or
where?
Where
did
the
money
come
from
without
the
water
sewer
fund
or.
E
I
H
So
we
went
that
way
and
now
we're
going
back
to
where
we
were
maybe
before
2015
and
we're
doing
stuff
more
in-house.
C
I
What
what
happened
this
particular
case?
There
was
one
company
that
were
doing
manhole
rehab
done
a
phenomenal
job
and
they
were
very
reasonable
when
this
particular
job
come
out,
that
company
didn't
bid
and
the
tea
grant
company
did
bid
or
the
lowest
bid.
We
went
with
the
tea
grade
company,
but
their
work
was
was
not
satisfactory
at
all
the
other
company
that
we
had
went
with
first
time
that
didn't
bid
wasn't
interested
in
doing
the
work
at
this
time.
They
had
several
large
projects
going.
H
I
I
I
A
And
they
you
were
about
to
disengage
them
from
the
contract,
but
they
made
a
pleading
statement.
I
I
A
I
I
H
I
H
I
We
were
able
to
pull
from
a
couple
of
crews,
some
guys
with
concrete
experience
and
such
as
that
to
put
this
crew
together.
H
I
We're
going
to
be
able
to
face
and
the
personnel
we
have
that's
doing
the
manhole
rehab
at
this
time.
I
don't
believe
that
we'll
be
able
to
do
all
manhole
rehab
in
house
that
we
will
eventually
over
time,
try
to
put
some
more
contracts
together
to
get
contract
help
because
of
the
large
number
of
manholes.
I
J
J
One
study,
so
you
know
mike-
and
I
had
talked-
we
figured
we'll
hit
this
for
about
six
months
with
in-house
crews,
see
what
progress
we're
making
see
if
we
knock
out
everything
that
was
in
that
phase,
one
study,
if
we
can't
get
it
done
for
any
reason,
then
we'll
go
back
to
do
a
contract,
but
I
think
you
know
we'll
give
his
guys
a
shot
see
if
we
can
knock
those
out.
I
think
there
was
about
700.
I
H
B
So
mike
just
to
clarify
too,
I
had
a
lot
of
calls
regarding
manholes.
You
remember
this
is
this
that
same
company,
because
we
had
problems,
we
had
people
complaining.
C
A
B
E
A
I
Different
company
that
was
a
pipe
bursting
company,
that
company
is
actually
tcon
or
t
construction,
and
this
is
t
gray
so.
B
Okay,
I
believe,
there's
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
floor
for
item
a
all
in
favor.
Please
say:
aye
opposed.
The
motion
carries
unanimously
number
one.
Please.
E
Mayor
council
number
one
is
an
ordinance
entitled
an
ordinance
amending
the
fiscal
budget
of
the
city
of
beaumont
for
the
fiscal
year
2020
to
appropriate
additional
funds
to
cover
expenditures
in
the
solid
waste
coved
19
recovery,
imelda
recovery,
laura
marco
recovery,
municipal
transit,
terrell,
historical
library,
general
and
capital
reserve
funds
to
approve
the
transfer
of
funds
providing
for
severability
and
providing
for
repeal
and
todd
semino.
Our
cfo
will
come
forward
and
lead
you
through
the
atom.
K
So
in
our
financial
policies,
an
interfund
transfer
of
cash
is
recommended
when
a
fund
doesn't
have
sufficient
cash
revenue
or
fund
balance
to
sustain
its
operations,
that's
usually
like
the
municipal
transit
fund
or
some
of
our
internal
service
funds
and
for
our
city
charter.
If
a
fund
is
projected
to
expend
more
funds
than
what
was
originally
appropriated
in
the
original
budget,
then
we
need
to
come
back
to
you
and
ask
for
an
additional
appropriation
of
funds.
K
B
B
K
H
H
K

E
G
B
E
Number
three
is
an
ordinance
entitled
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
ratification
for
the
conveyance
and
dedication
of
private
streets
located
in
the
sandalwood
subdivision
to
the
city
of
beaumont
texas,
the
joint
public
hearing
held
on
february,
the
17th.
The
planning
commission
recommended
7-0
to
approve
a
proposed
ratification
again
for
the
conveyance
and
dedication
of
private
streets
and
infrastructure
to
the
city
of
beaumont
once
completed
with
the
following
condition,
and
that
is
approval
of
conveyance
document
by
the
city
council.
The
administration
recommends
approval.
B
A
I
think
you're
about
to
mention
what
I
was
asking,
so
it
there's
not
a
fee
that
has
to
be
paid
in
order
for
a
community
organization
or
association
to
ask
that
the
city
adopt
those
the
street.
M
So
I
don't
believe,
there's
a
fee,
but
I
can
get
you
an
answer
to
that
they
do
if,
if
there
are
any
issues
with
title
work
or
conveyance,
we
do
require
that
the
the
neighborhood
association
do
do
pay
for
those
fees.
A
B
E
The
agreement
provides
for
a
term
of
one
year
from
its
effective
date
and
a
franchise
fee
of
seven
percent
of
gross
revenues
received
for
service
and
according
to
the
city
charter.
Franchise
ordinances
require
readings
at
three
separate
council
meetings.
This
is
the
second
reading.
Today
the
administration
recommends
approval.
G
C
H
E
E
The
energy
museum
is
located
in
a
city-owned
building.
Those
were
not
touched
and
just
keep
in
mind
that
these
museums
to
our
knowledge,
are
not
bringing
large
groups
together.
E
So
that's
number
one
number
two,
all
of
those
those
three
museums
are
managed,
meaning
they
manage
them.
They
operate
them,
not
city
staff.
So
I'd
ask
for
the
council
to
consider
just
adding,
with
the
exception
of
the
beaumont
children's
museum,
which
is
a
tenant
in
the
civic
center
building,
and
it
would
allow
them
to
reopen.
H
B
B
B
Yes,
all
right
comments
on
the
amendment
or
on
the
other
side.
L
One
of
the
things
that
we
discussed
several
weeks
ago
was
when
the
distinguished
doctor,
our
theme
was
here.
I
asked
him
specifically.
I
said
what
kind
of
numbers
are
we
looking
for
in
the
icu
if
it
gets
to
that
and
drops
below
it?
Would
that
seem
reasonable?
The
number
that
he
gave
was
30.
L
L
I
went
to
public
schools
with
the
french,
so
I
learned
that
back
then,
and
so
I
really
think
it's
time
for
us
to
review
what
we
said.
We
would
do
as
it
relates
to
what
he
said,
because
that
was
the
number
that
the
distinguished
physician
outlined
for
us.
He
said
if
we
get
below
30
that'll
be
great.
I
said
okay,
so
30
is
the
number
I
actually
said
35
and
then
he
dropped
it
to
30..
L
L
I
think
it
would
be
reasonable
for
us
to
take
a
look
at
doing
exactly
what
we
said
we
were
going
to
do
when
we
got
to
whatever
that
magic
number
was,
which
was
30.,
and
with
that
in
in
mind.
I,
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
we
need
to
look
at
and
to
my
knowledge,
I
don't
think
anybody
up
here
knew
that
it
was
11.
B
Actually,
that's
in
one
hospital
together
there
is
18
or
19
19.,
so
I
did
know,
and
secondly,
there's
47
coded
patients
between
both
hospitals.
Today,
but
last
tuesday
there
was
68
and
there
was
35
in
icu
last
tuesday.
So
it's
gone
down
significantly
this
week
and
what
dr
rafeen
asked
us
is
if
we
would,
if
we
saw
that
consistently.
I
talked
to
him
this
morning,
but
with
that
said,
there's
a
motion
for
amendment
on
the
floor.
So
I'm
going
to
call
for
a
vote
on
that
item.
H
H
H
Okay,
so
so
23
and
as
I
understand,
we
have
gone
from
having
in
the
40s
in
the
july
august
time
frame
to
the
30s
to
now
the
20s
and
if
we're
not
willing
to
open
up
all
of
our
city
facilities,
which
the
taxpayers
paid
for
to,
let
them
use
it
with
those
being
the
numbers.
Then,
as
councilmember
paige
said,
what
are
the
numbers
going
to
be
and
what
will
the
litmus
test
be?
Because
in
this
state
we
take
our
marching
orders
to
a
large
extent
from
the
governor's
office?
H
He
sets
the
tone
he
sets
the
pace
and
he
has
provided
us
instructions
through
his
executive
order
as
to
what
we
are
supposed
to
do
in
terms
of
opening
up
our
venues
he's
given
us
discretion,
which
we
have
exercised
to
remain
closed
if
we
choose
but
he's.
Also
given
us
discretion
to
open
neighboring
counties
throughout
the
state
have
opened
up
their
venues
and
council
member
pate
spoke
to
that
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
listed
a
bunch
of
a
bunch
of
cities.
H
B
Okay,
I'd
like
to
hear,
if
you
don't
mind
from
our
public
health
authority
through
sherry
orwell,
if
you
can
give
us
any
insight
on
what's
being
talked
about
here,
I
do
recognize,
because
I
look
at
the
numbers
every
day
that
they
have
been
going
down,
but
then
they'll
pop
back
up
and
then
we'll
have
a
couple
deaths,
but
back
and
forth
I
have
been
following
the
hospitals
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
You
are
right.
Yesterday
it
was
20-something.
B
O
So
good
afternoon,
so
everyone
is
correct.
Our
numbers
have
gone
down
significantly
and-
and
we
were
of
course
extremely
excited
to
see
that
we
do
know
that.
However,
our
numbers
have
gone
down
because
there's
not
been
as
much
testing.
People
were
actually
focused
on
the
hurricane
and
evacuation,
and
so
with
that
we
know
that.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
why
our
numbers
did
go
down.
The
virus
is
still
very
virulent
in
our
community.
O
We
do
you
know
we
have
a
couple
of
factors
that
we're
looking
at
from
a
public
health
standpoint
as
well,
we're
looking
at
people
who
evacuated
and
stayed
in
shelters
and
now
they're
back
home.
So
we
don't
know,
you
know
we
need
over
the
next
couple
weeks
are
really
really
crucial,
because
we
do
believe
that
we
will
see
those
numbers
increase.
We
also
have
just
come
off
of
labor
day
holiday
and
historically
we
have
seen
those
numbers
increase
after
memorial
day
and
after
the
fourth
of
july.
No
doubt
about
it.
O
Those
numbers
do
increase,
and
so,
if,
if
we
can
believe
that
everybody
practiced
social
distancing
and
wore
masks
or
stayed
home
for
labor
day
holiday,
then
we
would
be
in
a
good
shape.
I
do
doubt
I
do
doubt
that
that
has
happened
so
that
that's
our
concern
from
a
from
a
public
health
point
of
view.
Okay,.
B
Just
a
question-
and
you
may
not
know
the
answer
to
this
and
maybe
officer
riley-
does
because
I
know
it
came
through
the
pios,
but
right
after
the
evacuation,
when
the
governor
came
in,
he
mentioned
that
they
might
be
sending
more
state
testing
in
the
areas
that
evacuated
it.
Have
we
heard
that?
Yes,
yes,
yes,.
O
Yes,
we
have
it's
been
offered
and
and
we're
looking
at
scheduling
some
of
those
community
testing.
Hopefully,
if
we
can
get
some
in
this
week,
you
know
we
know
that,
after
an
exposure
to
covet
19,
there's
between
a
two
day
to
11
day
window,
that
a
person
would
test
positive
or
start
to
show
symptoms.
So
we
want
to
be
sure
that
we're
we're
starting
to
schedule
some
of
those
community
tests
that
the
state
has
offered.
H
O
You
know
that
we
would
have
to
speak
with
hospital
experts
about
our
job
is
to
prevent
the
spread,
and
so
once
they
get
in
the
hospital.
That's
that's
another.
That's
not
the
area
that
we
work
with
as
public
health.
As
long
as
there
are
cases
in
the
community,
we
know
that
there's
transmission,
so
a
person
who
tests
positive.
O
We
attempt
to
reach
that
person
identify
those
contacts
and
that
information
that
we
get
is
only
as
good
as
as
the
the
person
that
we're
talking
to
can
remember
where
they've
been
who
they've
been
around
and
so
those
those
are
the
numbers
that
we
see
increase.
We
have
a
whole
lot
more
people
in
the
community
with
the
virus
than
we
do
in
the
hospitals.
Unfortunately,
those
persons
that
go
to
the
hospital
are
extremely
ill,
but
they
probably
got
it
from
somebody
in
the
community
who
may
not
be
showing
symptoms
at
all.
H
O
H
O
O
I
can
tell
I'm
really
passionate
about
this
there's
so
little,
that's
known
about
the
virus
until
we
don't
even
know
what
the
lasting
effects
are
going
to
be
for
those
people
who
seem
to
have
had
a
very
quick
recovery
and
are
doing
well,
we
we
talked
to
people
all
the
time
and
they've
been
diagnosed
five
months
ago,
but
they
are
still
experiencing
shortness
of
breath.
O
O
Even
after
that,
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
our
numbers,
so
the
the
medicare
just
recently
put
out
a
guidance
for
nursing
homes.
So
this
is
it's
so
complicated,
but
we
are
looking
at
nursing
homes
and
testing
their
staff
and
their
patients
start
with
the
staff.
So
if
the
positivity
rates
are
less
than
five
percent,
the
staff
will
be
tested
once
a
month.
O
If
it's
five
to
ten
percent,
it's
once
a
week,
if
it's
over
ten
percent,
then
the
staff
is
going
to
be
tested
twice
a
week
and
that's
where
we
were
last
week
we
were
at
10.5
percent,
I
think
positivity
rate,
so
this
week,
we're
9.8,
because
we
didn't
have
that
many
tests
last
week,
so
we're
having
to
expose
people
to
getting
tested
if
they
work
in
a
nursing
home
twice
a
week.
If
there
is
one
positive
case,
then
everybody
patients
in
the
residence
included
will
have
to
be
tested.
O
B
Okay,
council,
member
painting,
council
member
samuel.
L
L
L
L
But
my
point
is
a
lot
of
these
people
unless
you,
unless
you
can
tell
me
differently
if
somebody
comes
in
to
an
er
today
with
mild
symptoms,
they're
quarantining
them
at
home,
as
opposed
to
putting
them
in
the
hospital
which
would
seem
reasonable.
Okay,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
the
numbers
in
the
icu
before
that
anybody
that
showed
up
that
had
any
symptoms.
They
would
automatically
put
them
in
icu
because
they
didn't
know
so.
L
L
That's
what
it's
telling
you
one
out
of
60
had
an
issue,
but
the
other
59
had
underlying
medical
conditions
that
caused
the
complications
with
covid
and
most
of
those
people
were
over
65
years
old.
So
we've
gotta,
if
we're
going
to
sit
down
like
we've
done
before
and
evaluate
our
decisions
based
on
just
what
sherry
said.
It's
up
to
the
the
people
in
the
healthcare
not
her
job.
That's
not
that
wouldn't
be
fair
to
her,
to
put
it
on
her
because
she's
trying
to
keep
everybody
safe
in
beaumont,
but
we
turn
to
the
people.
L
Who
are
the
experts
out
there
once
they
get
to
the
hospital?
Can
you
handle
it
because
that
was
one
of
the
things?
Can
you
handle
all
these
people
coming
in
the
hospital
at
once
and
it
at
one
particular
time
they
couldn't?
I
mean
literally,
you
had
two
nurses
for
every
patient
when
the
average
is
six
patients
per
nurse.
L
L
L
B
O
O
O
L
L
A
A
A
Around
going
around
the
house
to
kind
of
come
back
and
do
something
and
think
that
we've
had
professional
advice
or
we've
had
heard
heard
from
the
health
community
itself,
when
we
call
sherry
from
a
seat
just
expecting
to
deal
with
just
one
place
that
has
small
numbers
of
people
going
there
to
opening
everything
in
the
city
of
beaumont.
A
I
think
that's
somewhat
irresponsible
and
it's
unconscionable
to
me,
but
we've
had
situations
that
the
numbers
have
been
down
before
trending
down.
There's
a
difference
between
hitting
your
bottom
and
trending
down.
Am
I
correct,
correct
part
of
the
reason
that
we
had
several
more
thousands
of
people
to
die
is
because
we
looked
at
a
trend
as
opposed
to
a
bottom,
and
now
because
we
have
in
the
past
week,
we've
had
less
numbers.
A
Does
that
mean
two
weeks
from
now
or
three
weeks
from
now?
It's
going
to
be
the
same,
we're
coming
off
of
a
holiday
we're
coming
off
of
now.
People
are
coming
from
storms
coming
back
in
town
they've,
not
had
an
opportunity,
there's
less
testing,
but
now
we're
being
asked
to
open
everything
in
our
city
based
on
a
week
or
two
of
results.
B
Well,
mayor,
if
you
don't
mind,
I
haven't
talked
yet
and
I'm
gonna
say
one
thing
and
then
I'll
call
on
you,
I'm
gonna,
okay,
so
I
do
have
in
writing
from
dr
rafeen,
but
I'm
sure
he'd
be
more
than
willing
to
come
back
because
I
have
been
writing
from
him
every
day.
B
But
with
all
due
respect,
councilmember
pate,
dr
orphene
did
say
consistently
and
I
know
we
were
both
here,
but
he
did
say
that.
But
secondly,
if
we
are
if
you're
saying,
if
you're,
if
you're
saying
that
we
should
take
his
advice,
which
is
what
I
think
I
hear
you
saying
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
but
because
you
asked
him
and
he
said
30
and
you
said
he
said
30
at
five
and
then
he
said
30
I
believe
he
said
30.
Then
he
said
35.,
but
regardless
it
doesn't
matter.
B
B
You
have
a
different
thought
process
or
if
you
know
someone
that's
close
to
you
that
has
been,
and
I
know
we
all
know
people
who
have
passed
away
from
it.
So
with
that
said,
if
you
have
one
more
thing,
then
I'm
going
to
call
for
a
vote
council
member.
C
H
I
feel
like
it
is
hypocritical
for
the
city
to
continue
to
have
our
facilities,
which
are
paid
for
by
the
taxpayers
completely
shut
down.
When
similar
venues
are
allowed
to
operate
under
the
governor's
guidelines,
we
have
schools
opening.
We
have
churches
that
are
opening
now
for
in-person
services,
and
I
think
that
we
just
heard
from
our
public
health
director
that
she
would
not
be
comfortable
with
us
opening
these
city
facilities
even
after
we
have
a
vaccine.
H
H
So
I
get
the
emotional
turmoil
that
some
people
go
through
when
they're
talking
about
this
subject,
but
I
approach
things
from
a
position
of
being
rational
and
logical
and
from
a
position
of
science,
and
so
when
I'm
doing
that,
I
am
looking
at
the
morbidity
rates
which
fortunately
are
low
one's
too
many
we've
heard.
That
said
a
lot,
but
you
have
to
look
at
it
in
terms
of
the
total
population.
H
Well,
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
consider
are
our
various
venues
that
we
have
in
our
parks,
our
various
centers,
that
we
have
where
we
have
small
group
meetings,
not
any
larger
than
what
you'd
expect
to
find
in
the
children's
museum.
If
I
have
a
neighborhood
association
meeting
at
the
community
center
at
rogers
park,
I
might
expect
15
to
25
people.
H
H
You
know
you
could
have
150
to
200
people
there
and
it's
not
crowded
there,
because
it's
such
a
big
facility,
so
the
children's
museum
is
a
relatively
small
facility.
It's
a
portion
of
the
civic
center
they're
going
to
keep
their
groups
small,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
consistent.
What
we're
doing
and
right
now
what
we're
doing
is
very
inconsistent.
B
D
Thank
you
mayor,
mr
attorney.
I
have
a
question
for
you.
There's
only
six
council
numbers
here
today.
What
happens
if
this
amendment's
a
tie.
B
L
Program
that
was
going
on
the
event
center,
with
the
exception
of
one
in
august,
was
a
wedding
every
event
except
one
was
a
wedding.
According
to
the
information,
I
got
somebody
correct
me:
if
I'm
mistaken,
not
only
were
you
affecting
them.
We've
got
caterers
that
work
with
the
city
that
I
know
for
a
fact
have
lost
literally
half
a
million
dollars
because
they
can't
do
anything.
L
We
we've
got
to
look
at
this
as
scientifically
and
say
what
are
the
numbers
when
the
numbers
come
up
to
what
we
hope
they
would
and
they
finally
get
to
that.
We
should
make
our
decisions
based
on
that.
But
again,
the
only
thing
I
anticipated
today
was
voting
on
the
children's
museum
until
mike
brought
it
up.
I
just
assumed
we
were
going
to
talk
about
that
later
on,
but
since
he
did
and
it
he
brought
up
as
an
amendment,
that's
when
I
felt
obligated
to
make
some
of
the
statements.
B
L
B
B
B
Ready
for
that,
so
am
I
I'm
going
to
ask
you
at
the
end
to
read
that
order.
Please
councilman,
I
mean
counselor.
G
G
I
I
have
always
believed
that
we
can
and
we
should
reopen
our
city
in
a
safe
and
responsible
manner.
But,
as
you
know,
when
we
first
when
we
visited
this
last
when
dr
arfin
was
here,
I
personally
made
a
commitment
to
the
medical
personnel
of
our
city
that
I
would
do
everything
I
could
to
help
them.
With
this
issue
of
our
city
venues.
G
I
listened
to
them,
even
though,
perhaps
there
were
things
I
didn't
agree
with,
but
they
are
the
ones
that
are
putting
their
hands
on
the
covet.
19
patients
they're
the
ones
putting
their
their
health
and
the
health
of
their
family
at
risk.
Not
me
and
that's
why
I
yielded
to
them
and
tried
to
take
their
advice.
G
I
do
agree
with
councilman
pate
that
the
magic
number
is
30..
I
am
pleased
that
our
numbers
have
dropped,
but
I
also
understand,
as
sherry
said,
that
that's
probably
impacted
by
the
evacuation
of
the
hurricane.
We
don't
know
what
labor
day
is
going
to
do
to
it.
All
that
I
have
asked
for
is
that
we
just
give
it
a
few
more
days
to
see
what
the
numbers
do,
but
we're
trying
to
go
in
the
back
door
as
councilman
samuel
said.
G
G
All
I
ask
for
is
a
few
days
just
to
see
what
the
numbers
will
do
after
the
evacuees
get
back
in
town
and
we
see
what
labor
day
is
going
to
do
to
impact
those
numbers,
and
so
I
do.
I
definitely
want
to
open
the
venues
in
a
safe
and
responsible
responsible
manner.
I
think
we
can,
but
I
made
a
commitment
personally
to
the
to
the
medical
personnel
that
I
would
listen
to
them,
and
I
have
to
listen
to
them
again,
but
they're
not
here
today.
G
H
H
Well,
but
that's
what
the
rules
are
and
the
rules
are
what
they
are,
and
it's
being
continuously
called
by
some
of
my
fellow
council
members
as
a
backdoor
attempt
to
put
this
on.
I
did
not
put
this
on
the
agenda
to
consider
the
children's
museum.
That
was
somebody
else
to
put
it
on
the
agenda,
but
since
somebody
else
did
that
it
is
totally
appropriate
within
the
rules
for
me
to
offer
an
amendment,
which
is
what
I've
done.
B
B
Okay,
so
we're
back
to
the
original
motion.
You
did
withdraw
it
so
on
the
motion
that
is
on
the
floor,
which
is
to
separate
the
children's
museum
from
the
civic
center
complex
for
this
purpose
is
what's
on
the
floor.
All
in
favor
of
that
motion,
please
say:
aye
opposed.
E
Mayor
council
on
number
six
is
to
consider
resolution
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
an
agreement
with
the
beaumont
independent
school
district.
Regarding
a
school
crossing
guard
program,
the
city
of
beaumont
entered
into
an
interlocal
agreement
with
the
school
district
back
in
may
of
2017,
which
called
for
bisd
to
manage
and
administer
the
program
and
its
employees.
E
The
city
agreed
to
provide
payment
for
50
percent
of
the
actual
cost
of
the
program
not
to
exceed
90
000
per
year.
This
agreement
was
for
a
three
year
period
that
ended
on
june.
The
30th
bisd
is
proposing
that
we
renew
the
agreement
with
a
provision
that
it
automatically
renew
each
year
unless
terminated
by
either
party
the
proposed
agreement
caps
again
the
city's
share
at
ninety
90
000
per
year.
B
Yes
number
six.
Is
there
a
motion
on
this
item?
B
D
Has
been
going
on
for
several
years
and
I'm
not
quite
clear
why
the
city
of
beaumont
is
paying
for
crossing
guards
for
for
bisd
and
not
some
of
the
other
schools
in
the
area.
What
I
would
like
to
propose,
because
I
talked
to
president
segee
from
the
school
board-
understand
that
they
are
currently
needing
this
money
for
their
budget.
It
was
already
figured
in
their
current
year
budget,
but.
D
D
B
C
H
L
Have
a
question:
yes:
ma'am
kyle.
Could
you
give
us
a
little
history
of
our
relationship
with
bisd
and
how
that
sort
of
came
about?
Because
I
know
the
average
citizen
out
here
is
wondering
you
know:
how
is
it
that
we're
paying
for
school
guards?
You
know
crossing
guards
for
bisd
and
not
other
schools
in
the
area,
but
give
them
the
history,
because
we
had
been
well
I'll.
Let
you
do
it.
E
Well,
going
back,
20
plus
years
the
city
of
beaumont
used
to
administer
this
program
out
of
the
public
works
department
and
also
human
resources,
the
city
would
hire
the
employees
train.
The
employees
and
bisd
at
one
time
would
pay
half
the
cost,
and
that
was
changed
back
in
2017,
and
I
just
read
to
you
what
the
terms
were
that
agreement
that
expired
in
june,
so
bisd
has
sent
over
this
proposed
agreement.
That's
attached
for
your
review,
so
it's
worked
different
ways
over
the
years
and
and
the
city
has
split
the
cost.
B
Okay,
so
the
city
clerk
just
told
me
that
thomas
segui
is
here.
I
believe
that
he
wanted
to
speak
on
item
number
six,
I'm
not
sure
if
he
got
here
late
or
if
he
just
didn't
come
in,
I'm
not
sure.
Okay,
so
I
have
told
I
have
told
the
city
clerk
that
he
can
go
ahead
and
speak
on
this
item
before
we
take
a
vote.
B
P
P
I
did
talk
to
councilman
neal
concerning
this,
but
I
actually
don't
have
any
authority
to
agree
with
that
plan.
The
continued
relationship
that
we
have
between
the
city
and
the
school
district
is
important.
As
you
know,
we
often
help
you
all
in
emergencies,
with
the
hurricanes
we've
done
with
ike,
we've
done
it
with
rita
we've
done
it
with
each
one.
We
provide
something
that
you
all
can't
actually
do,
and
that's
the
movement
of
people
out
of
zones
when
the
water
is
above
30
inches,
because
our
buses
can
actually
afford
water.
P
P
P
As
is
again,
we
have
a
great
relationship,
we're
trying
to
build
a
relationship
with
you
all,
and
the
crossing
guard
is
very,
very
important,
especially
if
you
see
those
two
guys
on
down
the
street
from
marshall.
That.
B
P
They
put
their
heart
and
soul
into
the
program
and
again
we
facilitate
the
partnership
between
the
district
and
the
city
of
beaumont,
and
if
you
cannot
do
the
contract,
as
is
we'll
look
at
what
councilman
neal
said,
but
again
we
have
a
great
relationship
and
again
I
thank
you
all
as
we
continue
to
build
a
bridge
as
opposed
to
the
fence
between
the
city
and
school
district.
I
appreciate
what
you
can
do
for
the
district.
P
B
Thank
you,
mr
seguin,
before
you
leave
ayako
what
you
said
and
I'm
sorry
that
I
haven't
called
you
I
should
have
already,
but
the
school
district
was
very,
very
involved
with
us
through
all
the
storms,
but
most
recently
with
laura,
and
we
had
to
put
us
a
separate
plan
together
if
we
did
have
to
shelter
in
place
with
the
social
guidelines,
and
you
all
were
great
to
work
with
to
use
classrooms
and
whatever
else
we
needed
along
with
the
buses.
So
just
please
take
that
back
to
whomever
and
let
them
know
yeah.
P
I'll
talk
with
superintendent,
now
again
it's
a
mutual
relationship
that
again
the
city
and
the
school
district
should
work
hand-in-hand
in
anything
that
we
could
possibly
do
because
the
citizen
I
got
thousand
17
hundred
and
forty
two
of
your
citizens
at
the
president
of
the
school
board.
We
got
that
many
of
your
citizens.
Some
of
them,
are
just
tall
right
now.
Some
are
four
years
old,
but
they
are
citizens,
yes,
and
we
need
to
do
what's
best
for
them.
Yes,.
B
Okay,
so
there
is
an
amendment
on
the
floor.
Did
you
repeat
that
or
would
you
please
just
so
we
hear
it
again.
D
Q
A
A
A
For
the
most
part,
we've
been
able
to
work
with
other
programs,
joint
programs
with
bisd,
but
this
is
one
that
when
we
entered
that
agreement
back
in
2017,
I
felt
very
good
about
because
one
these
are
our
citizens
too.
These
are
some
of
our
future
leaders
and
three.
These
are
the
streets
of
beaumont.
C
L
B
E
A
There
was
a
part
of
it
the
fact
that
bisd
had
acquired
a
police
department.
That
was
a.
A
G
I
do
believe
that
we
all
I
mean,
I
believe,
we're
all
in
agreement
that
the
partnership
between
the
city
and
the
school
district
is
vital.
If
bulma
is
going
to
move
forward
as
a
community,
we
need
a
strong
school
district,
I'm
not
sure
what
90
000
a
year
does
to
their
budget
or
to
ours.
G
Whichever
way
it
goes
as
a
lack
of
support
for
our
school
district,
because
we
do
support
our
school
district
and
I
know,
as
a
council
we're
going
to
do
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
that
they're
a
success,
although
we're
very
limited
in
what
we
can
do,
but
I
would
just
hate
for
the
school
district
to
think
that
today's
vote
is
a
message
that
we
don't
support
them,
because
I
know
that
we
do.
Thank
you
mayor.
C
H
Of
course,
the
parochial
schools
that
we
have
my
concern
is
okay,
so
we're
going
to
do
this
for
bisd
fine
echo
everybody's
sentiments
that
we
need
to
maintain
a
good
relationship
with
bisd,
but
how
do
we
differentiate
between
bisd
and
other
schools
that
have
children
walking
to
their
facilities?
That
might
also
need
crossing
guards?
H
A
Those
there's
a
difference
between
those
who
have
and
those
who
have
not
so
those
who
have
the
ability
to
go
to
private
schools.
That's
one
thing:
that's
different
for
those
who
have
not
that's
in
my
assessment.
H
H
But
the
problem
with
that
is
that
you
can
go
to
charter
schools
for
free
and
it's
not
based
on,
have
or
have
not
it's
based
on
the
person's
individual
decisions.
So
that
really
I
agree
with
you
on
parochial
schools,
you
might
have
to
pay
a
tuition,
but
on
these
charter
schools
they
simply
take
the
funding
that
bisd
would
have
received
and
they
give
them
to
the
charter
school.
So
you
know
those
are
that's
not
a
have
and
have
not
situation.
A
Again,
well,
I
understand
what
you're
saying
is
different.
I
will
say
one
of
the
things
that
one
of
the
other
factors
I
would
consider
is
what
you
just
said.
A
H
L
Thank
you.
I'd
ask
councilman
neal
if
he
can
consider
reconsider
his
amendment
to
say
to
do
this
for
one
year:
let's
sit
down
and
visit
with
bisd,
so
that
everybody's
on
the
same
page
from
this
time
forward.
Would
that
be
something
that
you
think
would
be
reasonable.
Basically,
we've
given
them
the
ninety
thousand
dollars.
We
agreed
to
we're
just
going
to
sit
down
with
them
and
say
because,
as
you
said,
you
talked
to
thomas
and
he
said
he
would
be
open
to
it.
L
B
B
Have
all
the
information
before
we
did
that
and
I'm
just
I'm
just
reintegrating
I'll
I'm
going
to
vote
for
as
it
stands
today,
but
as
far
as
the
motion
to
change
it
or
the
amendment,
I
will
vote
against
the
amendment
today,
not
against
the
amendment,
but
I
just
I
feel
like
that.
We
need
the
opportunity
to
explore
this
with
the
powers
to
be
over
at
bisd.
B
You
can
take
it,
but
but
we
can
go
ahead
and
vote
as
as
it's
written,
because
what
you
have
are
proposing
is
to
do
as
it
stands
for
one
year
correct.
That's
how
I
understood
it.
D
B
B
Okay,
is
there
anybody,
that's
opposed
to
tabling
it
for
until
next
week,
so
I
suppose
that
it'll
be
written
as
it
is
now
and
then
the
amendment
would
be
made
again,
because
this
is
your
recommendation
or
do
you
want
to
talk
with
them
and
and
see
yeah.
B
B
Okay,
I
never
had
so
many
amendments
in
my
life,
I'm.
C
B
B
Okay,
if
there's
not,
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
pull
it,
and
so
this
item
is
titled
till
next
week.
Next
item,
please:
oh,
we
have
a
public
hearing
right.
E
O
Okay,
good
afternoon
again,
the
health
department
is
presenting
three
properties
that
we
have
determined
to
be
public
health
nuisances
after
many
attempts
by
code
enforcement
division
to
bring
these
three
properties
into
compliance
code
enforcement
referred
the
property
to
us
at
public
health
for
assessment.
At
the
end
of
june
on
initial
visit
by
our
environmental
health
manager,
it
was
determined
that
these
properties
were
indeed
public.
Health
nuisances
and
written
notices
were
sent
to
the
property
owners
by
regular
mail
certified
male
and
hand
delivered
on
july
10th.
O
O
O
O
The
next
property
is
1230
chamberlain,
drive
the
violations;
there
are
excessive
litter,
rodent
harborage
and
no
access
to
approved
sewage.
There
was
at
one
point
a
couple
of
trailers
from
what
we
understand
on
the
property
that
had
no
water
connection
and
there's
no
sewage
connection
on
the
property
as
well.
O
This
was
one
of
the
properties
where
there
was
some
improvement,
but,
as
you
can
see,
the
the
property
remains
of
health
nuisance.
O
O
G
G
N
O
So
we're
asking
you
to
agree
with
us
that
these
properties
are
public
health
nuisances
so
that
we
can
move
forward
with
attempting
to
get
the
owners
to
abate.
These
properties.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Miss
omer,
okay,
you
read
the
caption,
didn't
you,
okay,
I'll
open
the
public
hearing
now,
if
you
would
like
to
speak
before
we
vote
on
item
number
seven,
the
time
to
do
so
is
now
and
if
you
haven't
already
done
so,
please
fill
out
the
green
slip
and
hand
it
to
the
officer
she
will
bring
you
in
here.
We
would
appreciate
again.
If
you
keep
your
comments
to
three
minutes.
B
We
have
gilbert,
I'm
sorry
gilbert
valdez,
1230
chamberlain,
drive
by
my
texas,
okay,
gilbert
valdez.
Is
he
here?
Yes,.
L
B
Q
There
I
am
yes
ma'am,
I
just
speaking
my
property,
I
just
everything
that's
been
decided
on
has
been
on
the
foster
cuesations
and
no
proof
of
much
and
lost
three
generations
in
my
family's
work
as
valdez
in
alaska's
valdez
down
here
in
the
united
states,
and
I've
been
accused
as
a
drug
dealer,
elderly
abuser
banner
and-
and
you
know,
and
all
that
stuff
and-
and
it's
just
all
lies
you
know,
I
take
care
of
my
father,
removing
the
chamberlain
where
I
have
my
dba
at
my
business.
Q
Our
business
address,
take
care
of
him,
and,
and
and
you
know
we
got
ran
off
our
property
by
the
enforcement
saying
we
weren't
allowed
on
our
own
property.
Q
You
know,
because
this
house
was
red
tagged
which
city
hadn't
hadn't
stepped
in,
yet
you
know
just
it's
all
everything's
rooted
from
from
then
it
kind
of
leads
to
where
I'm,
where
we're
at
now.
You
know,
and
it's
been
it's
been
just
total
lies
and-
and
you
know
from
the
community
and
everything
I
just
want
to.
You
know
want
to
come
here
to
talk
about
that.
B
Q
It
just
where
it
all
started.
Just
you
know
me
being
labeled
as
that
and
that's
what
kind
of
led
led
to
all
this
now.
You
know-
and
you
know,
there's
no
proof
of
us
having
water
and
lights
over
there
over
50
years,
and
it's
just
the
opposite.
I
have
I've
done
all
the
legwork.
Long
story
short
a
whole
briefcase
full
of
stuff
and
I'm
I'm
having
to
follow
through
with
protecting
my
family.
Q
You
know
following
through
with
what
I
need
to
do
civilly.
You
know
I've
already
about
to
file
him
on
myself
open
the
case
myself,
because
I'm
the
last
person
fighting
for
my
property.
You
know
so
yeah.
I
long
story
short
yeah.
I
just
you
know,
everything's
been
unfair.
You
know
I've
took
care
of
my
father
for
seven
years
and
ran
my
business.
At
the
same
time
with
my
mother
and
my
my
wife,
you
know
and
it's
all
been
lies.
Q
Q
The
church
crossed
street
trying
to
expand
or
property
behind
me,
one
that
one
it's
our
apartment,
complex
and
I'm
in
the
middle.
H
Q
H
I've
been
by
that
property.
You've
got
a
number
of
trailers
over
on
that
property.
What's
in
the
middle
of
a
residential
neighborhood.
H
Q
Well,
I
have
a
caretaker
from
a
father
and
and
you're
allowed
to
have
a
trailer
if
you're,
a
caretaker
for
one
and
for
elderly
person
and
and
those
traitors
that
I
bring
on
the
property
were
just
for
for
for
just
for
for
storage,
for
my
materials
to
to
build
my
home
again
that
got
tore
down
unlawfully.
Q
You
know
I
had
tools
in
one
the
other
one.
I
invested
the
whole
summer
into
all
my
savings,
you
know
and
then
the
third
one
was
it's:
a
16
gold
freeze,
gold
stream,
trailer
travel,
trailer
to
hook
the
allegro
hooks
up
to
you
know
I
mean
it's:
they
all
have
to
all
have
tanks
on
them
for
for
sewage,
all
of
them
do
and
all
electrical
works
in
them,
but
I.
H
H
I
have
a
question
for
mr
boone:
what
does
our
code
of
ordinances
say
about
having
trailers
in
a
residentially
zoned
neighborhood
like
that.
M
H
M
C
Q
Q
Q
M
M
We
pulled
records
we
for
our
charges
within
our
offices,
complaints
to
the
city
municipal
court.
We
have
11
different
violations.
B
So
you
have
your
hand
up.
Did
you
have
something
for
chris.
G
And
then
chris,
what's
the
no
access
to
approved
sewage
is
that
just
for
the
trailers
or
and
the
house.
M
Q
I
do
well
not
city,
but
I
have
a
commercial
grade.
It's
a
3800
psi
steamer
a
pressure
washing
rig
on
the
property.
I
have
that
and
I
have
a
tank
for
whatever
I
need
to
pump
in
there.
350
gallon
tank.
Q
H
Q
Q
B
B
Much
that's
all
I
have
here,
okay,
so
there's
no
other
citizens
to
speak
in
the
this
public
hearing
for
item
number
seven
and
I
believe
the
caption
has
been
read.
So
is
there
a
motion
on
item
number?
Seven.
It's.
H
B
There's
a
motion
in
a
second
on
the
floor.
There's
no
more
discussion
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
opposed
the
motion
carries
unanimously
and
next
public
hearing
again
before
item
number,
eight
right,
sir.
E
Each
project
is
evaluated
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
One
such
tool
is
a
reinvestment
zone,
tax
abatement
policy
as
allowed
under
the
texas
tax
code,
and
in
order
to
offer
abatements,
the
city
must
periodically
re-adopt
its
abatement
policy.
The
reinvestment
zone
tax
abatement
policy
remains
unchanged
from
the
last
adoption
back
in
2016..
E
B
B
There's
a
motion
on
the
floor:
is
there
a
second
exactly
there's
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
floor?
Is
there
any
discussion
or
questions
there
being
none
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
the
motion
carries
unanimously
and
we
have
a
couple
of
work
sessions
today.
E
E
E
E
E
E
We
have
a
very
strong
fund
balance
in
the
general
fund
and
that's
really
what's
allowed
for
a
continuation
of
existing
services
without,
for
example,
a
tax
increase.
There's
some
other
factors
as
well.
That's
the
main
reason.
The
projected
started
starting
fund
balance,
as
you
can
see,
is
almost
45
million
dollars,
which
is
34
percent
of
projected
expenditures.
E
E
E
So
the
general
fund
budget
is
not
planning
to
make
that
normal
transfer,
that's
normally
between
2.2
million
to
2.6
million,
so
the
proposed
budget
deficit
would
have
been
much
higher
if
those
funds
were
not
available,
so
a
transfer
will
likely
be
needed
or
will
be
needed.
We
believe
in
fiscal
year,
2022.
E
You
approve
refunding
some
of
our
debt
outstanding
debt
and
because
of
the
tax
appraisal
increase
and
you
approving
the
refundings
it
allowed
for
a
shift,
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is,
if
your
tax,
your
tax
rate,
that
71
cents
is
a
portion
roughly,
let's
say
50
cents
to
the
general
fund
and
say
21
cents
to
the
debt
service
fund,
which
is
to
repay
outstanding
debt.
There
was
allowed
for
a
shift
more
money
to
the
general
fund
than
last
year.
E
That's
the
third
reason,
and
the
fourth
reason
again
is:
you:
do
not
have
to
make
that
transfer
to
the
transit
fund
if
you
had
to
do
that,
you're,
probably
talking
about
2.5
million
on
top
of
the
3.7
million,
which
I
think
you'd
be
make.
You
know
looking
at
other
options,
including
a
tax
increase
or
maybe
cutting
certain
services.
E
So,
thank
goodness
we
do
not
have
to
do
that
and
we're
very
fortunate
again,
mostly
because
of
this
fund
balance
that
you've
allowed
over
the
years
after
you
know,
going
back
to
rita
and
ike
what
we
learned
and-
and
that
is
you
need
to
have
sufficient
cash
on
hand.
Then
we
all
know
about
harvey
imelda.
E
You
know
the
what
we
were
going
through
two
weeks
ago
or
a
week
ago,
whatever
it
was
with
with
marco
and
laura,
and
you
know
our
neighbors
to
the
east
were
not
spared,
but
we
surely
were
very
fortunate
for
that,
but
so
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have.
H
You
came
on
board
as
city
manager,
I
believe
in
2002,
and
since
that
time
our
fund
balance
has
been
increased
substantially,
and
I
compliment
you
for
your
stewardship
on
that.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
learned
from
our
past
hurricanes
is
that
there
is
a
spike
in
sales
tax.
H
The
numbers
that
you
read
that
showed
that
our
sales
tax
was
down
this
year
was
through
august,
so
it
did
not
take
into
account,
I
guess
all
of
the
flurry
of
sales,
hardware
stores
and
people
in
preparation
for
laura
and
in
fixing
up
their
properties
after
laura
with
that
coming
into
play,
even
though
we
were
spared,
we
did
have
damage
some
damages
here
and
people
not
well.
I
know
a
lot
of
people
were
buying
plywood
30
a
sheet.
So
do
we
expect
that
to
impact
our
sales
tax.
E
We
do
we
don't
know
to
what
degree
you
know
we're
looking
at
it
on
a
monthly
basis
and
we'll
continue
to
track
it.
But,
yes,
I
think
you
know
definitely
helped.
H
Another
question
I
have
mayor
of
may:
in
november
we
had
a
workshop
at
the
lakeside
center
and
at
that
time
I
posed
the
question
about
moving
forward
with
the
dowling
extension,
and
at
that
time
there
were
four
council
members
that
were
seemingly
willing
to
go
ahead
and
authorized
the
expenditure
funds
for
the
engineering,
not
construction,
but
the
engineering
of
that
project
that
project's
been
in
our
capital
program
longer
than
any
other
project.
It
dates
back
to
the
time
of
mayor
evelyn
lord.
E
E
H
E
B
E
B
H
Mr
manager,
previously
when
dr
majilani
was
here,
he
had
said
that
all
this
could
be
engineered
in
house
except
for
the
bridge,
and
I
don't
think
this
portion
of
the
project
even
has
to
cross
a
ditch.
I
don't
think
that
so
he
was
talking
about
doing
it
in-house,
but
you're
talking
about
now
going
out
for
bid
for
work.
E
D
D
Can
you
explain
the
big
difference
on
there?
It
looks
like
it's
under
the
capital
outlay,
but
not
quite
sure
what
that
is.
Yeah.
E
That's
vehicles
and
equipment,
an
estimated
let's
see
almost
4.7
million-
is
that
new
buses
chris
or.
H
D
Can
you
also
explain
under
total
revenues
for
2020
it
was
5.2
and
going
to
8.2
for
2021.
D
Is
that
the
intergovernmental
revenues
from
2.6
to
7.9,
correct
okay,
can
you
also
explain
why
it
goes
from
2.6
on
the
budget
budgeted
for
2020
to
estimated
at
4.9.
D
Okay,
one
other
question:
I
have
on
page
148,
solid
waste
phones
just
curious.
Why,
under
the
for
budget
different
2020,
it
was
14
million
under
expenditures
and
then
for
2021.
It's
down
to
12.6.
So
was
that
1.4
decrease.
E
D
E
D
H
Speaking
to
the
cares
act
that
is
going
to
help
us
with
our
public
transit
for
this
coming
year,
one
of
the
things
that
I
had
discussed,
possibly
doing
with
our
public
transit
services,
having
a
study
done
to
see
how
many
people
actually
use
our
bus
service
and
I've
had
it
explained
to
me
that
there's
a
possibility
that
we
can
use
some
of
that
cares,
act
funding
to
pay
for
that
sort
of
study.
What
do
we
need
to
do
in
order
to
make
that
happen?.
H
Okay,
so
I
will
come
to
you
with
whoever
is
going
to
second
that,
and
we
can,
can
we
can
do
you
know
whether
or
not
it's
been
determined.
We
can
use
some
of
the
character
funding
for
that.
B
B
In
regard
to
that,
the
care
acts,
I
know
that
we
got
as
we
were
talking
about
that
there's
some
for
rental
assistance,
all
different
kinds
of
things
that
we
got
and
there
was
a
lump
sum
of
money
that
could
be
used
for
certain
things
and
another
for
that
is,
and
some
of
the
questions
were
answered
that
why
it
changed
year
over
year
was
because
of
that
care
act.
Funding
has
all
of
the
care
act,
funding
that
we
believe
that
we
are
going
to
get
been
utilized
in
this
budget.
B
E
E
B
So
the
all
of
the
so
what
you're
telling
me
is
all
of
the
care
act,
funding
that
is
in
regard
to
transportation
has
been
not
expended
but
received
and
we've
we've
said,
or
we
know
we're
getting
it
and
we've
said
where
it's
going
to
go.
So
if
the
council
does
vote
to
spend,
however
much
it
is
to
do
this
study,
it
will
have
to
come
from
one
of
those
areas
that
we've
already
put
it
into
the
budget
right.
E
G
E
Have
can
you.
E
You
know
it
was
paid
for
with,
I
don't
remember
how
it
was
paid,
for
it
was
not
the
city
of
beaumont,
but
I
think
maybe
there
were
federal
or
state
funds
available
and
the
regional
planning
commission,
the
southeast,
texas
regional
planning
commission
utilized
that
money
hired
a
very
reputable
group
from
outside
the
state
that
does
this
all
over
the
country,
and
we
still
have
the
study.
It's
probably
10,
plus
years.
H
K
E
One
more
second
work
session
that
was
requested,
I
believe
by
council
members,
gatz
and
neil,
and
it
related
to
panhandling
and
also
homeless
camps
around
the
city.
So
I'm
going
to
hand
out
some.
E
And
then
there's
an
ordinance
behind
it,
which
is
the
city
of
beaumont's
and
what
what
what
you
have
before
you
in
parentheses,
is
again
state
law.
Just
let
you
read
that
it's
it's
pretty
short.
C
E
H
I'm
looking
at
fee
payment
in
the
sum
of
200
cash
or
money
order
only
to
defray
the
city's
cost
of
both
processing,
the
application
and
advertising
and
compliance
monitoring
on
the
street.
This
fee
is
not
refundable
unless
the
permit
is
denied
and
then
there's
also
required
a
proven
written
proof
of
liability
insurance
in
the
minimum
amounts
of
250
000.
You
know,
I
think,
we've
all
seen
charitable
organizations,
whether
it
be
little
league
or
soccer
or
something
out
there
on
the
medians.
H
E
If
they're
supposed
to
get
a
permit,
if
I
drive
around
the
city,
the
chief
knows
that
I've
called
him
many
times
on
a
saturday
or
sunday,
just
saying:
hey,
there's
a
group
out
here:
dallin
and
old
allen.
You
know
without
a
vest
on,
do
they
add
a
permit
and
they'll,
send
an
officer
and
take
the
proper
steps,
so
people
are
supposed
to
get
a
permit
secure
permit
most
of
the
time
if
they've
been
through
this
before
they
do.
E
There
are
groups
that
you
know,
don't
sometimes
it
happens,
and
when
we
see
it,
we
are
nice
about
it.
But
try
to
tell
people
hey
this.
This
is
the
rules
and
it's
what
you
need
to
follow
and.
B
So
but
the
purpose
for
this
is
for
the
the
panhandling
of
the
individuals
that
are
more
so
on
the
street
corner.
They
don't
have
to
get
a
permit,
but
it's
not
legal
for
them
to
do
that.
E
E
There
are
cases
where
the
police
department
will
make
an
arrest
for
these
violations,
or
this
violation
in
particular,
so
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
council
members
requested
this
work
session,
so
the
appropriate
staff
is
here.
H
Question
this
is
for
the
city
attorney.
Are
there
currently
any
court
cases
that
would
impact
these
city
ordinances
or
the
state
transportation
code
from
a
constitutionality
standpoint,
or
that
would
otherwise
make
these
ordinances
or
the
state
transportation
code
unenforceable?
Yes,
there
are.
Can
you
speak
to
those?
I
don't
have
a
listing.
N
H
Okay,
so
then
what
we're
talking
about,
if
we're
not
under
any
prohibition
from
a
court
challenge
we're
talking
about
enforcement,
and
I
guess
it
would
be
incumbent
upon
us,
as
a
city
council,
to
divide
to
provide
policy
as
to
what
we
would
like
to
see
done
with
regard
to
enforcement
of
these-
and
you
know,
look
I
I
know
the
times
are
hard
for
people.
There's
there's
a
guy
that
plays
the
guitar
every
day
at
the
corner
of
college
in
dallas.
You
know
he's
like
you've.
H
H
You
know
we
need
to
be
consistent
and
we
need
to
just
decide
how
we,
as
a
city
council,
would
like
to
see
us
respond
to
the
panhandling
that
is
going
on,
and
you
know.
I
know
that
there
was
a
time
there
and
the
police
have
done
a
great
job
at
the
corner
of
college
and
I-10,
where
people
were
getting
downright
aggressive,
yeah
that
belligerent's
a
good
word
because
they
would
seek
they
would
seek
a
contribution
or
something.
H
If
you
didn't
get
they'd
throw
something
into
your
car,
and
I
had
several
reports
of
people
having
damage
to
their
vehicles
and
again,
chief
great
job
in
getting
those
people
moved
on
down
the
road.
Thank
you,
but
you
know
they
just
they
just
move
from
one
place
to
another,
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
decide.
D
D
F
C
F
As
you
all
know,
we've
we've
tried
to
address
this
problem
over
the
last
nine
years
and
it
seems
like
sometimes
when
we
take
enforcement
action.
We
we
get
criticized
and
when
we
don't,
we
get
criticized
so.
R
R
They
were
concentrating
on
on
especially
the
violations
of
the
state
law,
which
the
state
law
really
prohibits
them
from
stepping
out
into
the
roadway,
which
is
a
big
safety
issue
both
for
the
public
and
for
the
the
people
that
are
out
there.
So
they
made
187
contacts,
they
issued
102
verbal
warnings,
66
citations
and
have
made
six
arrests.
R
R
There
22
at
college
and
I-10,
I'm
just
going
over
some
of
the
most
frequent
locations,
five
at
down
in
east
texas,
fort
calderon,
I-10
and
ford
eleventh
and
I-10,
but
that
just
kind
of
gives
you
the
idea
that
it's
it
is
throughout
the
city
along
the
freeway,
especially,
but
also
we're
seeing,
is,
as
we
increase,
enforcement
they're
moving
further
off
the
freeway
to
some
of
the
locations
that
are
even
closer
to
neighborhoods.
R
R
I
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
a
bigger
and
broader
issue
with
with
multiple
organizations
within
the
community
that
can
really
make
a
difference
on
this.
You've
talked
about
case
law.
There's
been
quite
a
few
changes
challenges
throughout
the
united
states
on
on
ordinances
governing
solicitation
and
that
all
stemmed,
from
a
court
case
supreme
court
case
in
2015
of
reed
versus
the
city
of
gilbert,
which
you
can
look
up
and
basically
it
talks
about
the
first
first
amendment.
R
R
I
think
in
the
second
ninth
and
ten
circuits
it
has
not
been
seen
in
the
fifth
circuit
yet,
but
there
are
some
challenges
being
made
in
other
cities
in
the
fifth
circuit,
so
have
yet
been
decided.
R
So
it
is
something
that,
when
we
look
at
making
an
enforcement
that
we
want
to
do
what's
right
for
the
community
and
for
the
person,
even
if
we
do
make
an
arrest
that
that
arrest
will
not
be
challenged.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we've
been
really
focusing
on
the
state
law
because
it
definitely
addresses
stepping
into
the
roadway,
which
is
a
big
hazard
versus
alongside
the
roadway
soliciting.
R
H
R
B
Anybody
else
have
any
questions
for
chief
clay.
E
The
second
part
of
the
work
session
was
homeless
camps
that
we're
aware
of
we're
all
aware
of
the
the
one
at
interstate
10
and
mlk
interstate
10,
7th
street
underpass,
there's
some
on
private
property.
C
E
Camp
we
talk
about.
We've
talked
about
many
times
over
on
washington,
underneath
the
drainage
district,
six
in
city
of
beaumont,
ditch
and
then
there's
another
camp,
that's
under
a
bridge
right
off
the
bridge
actually
and
under
the
bridge
on
college,
just
west
of
interstate
10..
So
that
was
the
second
part
of
the
work
session
that
was
requested
today.
E
If
they're
on
private
property,
then
they
need
to
get
a
trespass,
a
no
trespass
warrant
and
then
what
that
does
they
file
it
with
the
beaumont
police
department?
Then
the
police
department
has
a
mechanism
to
enforce
what
they
normally
do.
They
tell
me,
is
they
go
out
and
talk
to
them?
First
and
say:
look
you
know
you're
on
this.
So
can
you
give
me
proof
of
ownership
you're
on
this
property
living
here,
there's
a
no
trespass
warrant
filed
and
then
they'll
go
back
the
next
day
and
if
they're
still
there
take
the
appropriate
action.
E
E
D
E
We
would
bring
that
against
the
owner
and
we
could
do
that
so
but
answer
your
question.
Mayor
staff
brought
this
no
camping
ordinance
again,
maybe
five
years
or
so,
and
the
council
there
were
not
four
votes
to
move
forward
with
it.
H
E
If
you
know
the
locations,
please
tell
us
and
staff:
that's
here
today
will
go
out
starting
tomorrow,
we'll
go
out
to
do
like
they
do
today
and
bring
these
to
you.
If
number
one,
you
have
to
give
them
notice
and
if
they
do
not
correct
it,
then
we
moved
forward.
Like
was
what
was
brought
before
you
today.
So
we
need
your
help.
Tell
us
where
those
properties
are
and
just
send,
that
email
or
to
me
and
staff
will
go
out.
The
next
day
check
it
and
we'll
go
from
there.
H
B
E
The
city
attorney
is
telling
us,
you
cannot
touch
their
tents
or
their
belongings
or
remove
their
property.
You
can,
however,
go
pick
up
the
litter
and
debris
on
the
site.
We
can
do
that.
We
have,
you,
know:
we've
cleaned
up
some
other
sites,
as
you
all
know,
so
there
is
a
real
cause.
E
H
Tax
dot
needs
to
participate
with
us
in
trying
to
get
these
sites
cleaned
up.
Now.
I
am
willing,
speaking
again
for
me
to
allow
the
homeless
to
continue
to
live
there,
but
it
is
unreasonable
for
us
to
expect
to
expect
them
to
keep
their
property
clean
if
they
do
not
have
some
place
to
throw
their
trash
away.
B
It's
a
lot
like
in
a
way
what
we've
done
on
txdot's
property
along
the
freeway
that
we're
mowing.
You
know
they
used
to
not.
We
got
complaints
on
it
all
the
time
and
we
found
out
that
they,
you
know
they
were
paying
or
being
paid
x
amount,
and
we
said:
if
we
do
it
can
we
will
you
give
us
that
money?
We
know
that
has
not
made
us
whole.
I
don't
even
know
if
it's
half
it's.
B
It
seemed
like
it
was
definitely
just
not
make
us
whole,
so
I
would
say
they
might
be
willing
to
do
part
but
they're
sure
not
going
to
do
all
and
but
the
last
time
that
they
were
here
which
wasn't
that
long
ago
we
did
ask
the
question
about
this
and
we
weren't
allowed
to
go
on
their
property
to
clean
it
up.
That's.
E
I
think
they'll
allow
us
again.
We
have
to
reach
back
out
to
him.
We
met
with
him
maybe
six
months
ago,
and
the
council
has
talked
about
this
issue
at
least
twice
in
the
last
two
years
or
more,
and
there
was
not
agreement
amongst
yourself
on
how
to
move
forward
we're
here
to
do
whatever
four
or
more
of
you
want
us
to
do.
E
So
that's
a
cost
because
we're
going
to
hire
a
group
to
do
it
for
us
and
then
second,
if
you
want
to
put
a
dumpster
at
any
location,
the
right
size,
dumpster
is
100
a
week
to
leave
it
out
there
and
have
it
serviced,
picked
up
by
a
private
group.
So
you
know
we're
we're
here
again
we
get
our
marching
orders
from
y'all.
You
just
haven't
been
able
to
agree
on
what
exactly
to
do
every
time
we've
talked
about
this,
so
this
is
the
third
time
that's
been.
B
Once
you
start
it's
ours
forever,
councilman
pate,
then
councilman,
kneeled
and
then
councilman
goetz
well.
L
B
Was
san,
diego
okay.
L
What
has
other
cities
done
to
help
resolve
this?
Because
somebody
has
come
up
with
a
good
idea?
We
don't
have
to
reinvent
the
wheel
as
smart
as
this
group
is
up
here.
We
don't
have
to.
L
Well,
we
don't
want
to
be
like
austin,
I
mean.
Quite
honestly,
I
had
friends
that
evacuated
austin
and
they
came
back
said
we're
so
glad
we
live
here
if
you
saw
what
they
were
doing
to
that
city,
which
is
why
the
governor's
coming
down
on
adler
and
the
city
council,
because
they've
pretty
much
thrown
up
their
hands
and
let
it
go.
L
E
E
E
M
D
So
the
staff's
monitoring
it
that's
great
well
dd6
agreed
sounded
trespassing
once.
B
Only
thing
if
I
could,
while
he's
coming
up
that
to
say
about
that
and
I've
I've
talked
about
this
with
some
other
people
that
have
the
same
issues
in
other
cities
and
and
like
what
kyle
was
saying
earlier.
If
it's
on
private
property-
and
they
you
know,
do
a
trespass
warrant
and
they
tell
them,
they
can't
be
there
they're
going
to
move
somewhere
else,
and
what
happened
is
is
some
of
them
were
close
to
neighborhoods
and
they
started
moving
into
the
neighborhoods
and
their
situation
got
worse.
So
it's
kind
of
a
I
don't
know.
M
I
was
just
going
to
mention
quickly
that
you
know
dd6.
They
have
a
particular
issue
kind
of
like
folks
standing
in
the
roadway.
If
you
have
a
lot
of
accumulated
items
within
a
drainage
way.
It's
a
it's
a
you
know
it's
a
public
safety
issue,
and
so
I
believe
they
have
posted
signs
up
where
they
know
they've
been
folks
staying
now.
I
think
lynn
went
out
last
week
and
I
went
out
last
week.
I
think
some
of
those
signs
have
been
ripped
down,
but
I
think
they're
try
they're
committed
to
trying
to
they.
D
But-
and
I
understand,
let
me
get
saying:
councilman
getz
saying
that
he's
fine
with
them
sleeping
in
tents
underneath
the
I-10,
but
the
problem
with
that
is
by
allowing
them
to
sleep
in
tents
there
we're
not
gonna
do
anything
for
the
panhandling,
because
it's
that
same
group
that
are
going
over
to
these
intersections
and
doing
it
and
it's
in
my
opinion
the
situation
is
not
getting
better.
It's
getting
worse
everywhere,.
E
We
agree
with
you
when
we
had
lunch
and
met
with.
I
think
there
were
three
or
four
staff
members
that
are
here
today
and
I
think
two
people
from
the
local
txdot
office,
and
they
said
you
know
that
the
austin
office
which
they
answer
to
and
you
know,
city
attorney-
can
back
this
up.
They
they're
not
going
to
remove
their.
What
they
told
us
is
that
at
that
time,
they're
not
going
to
remove
the
folks
camping
on
their
property.
C
H
But
text
dot
says
okay,
the
governor
I
mean
I've
talked
to.
I
have
talked
to
don
smith
about
that.
He
says
you
know.
If
the
governor
tells
me
to
clean
up
beaumont,
then
I'll
do
it,
otherwise
we're
going
to
allow
them
to
stay,
and-
and
so
that's
a
problem
for
me,
because
you
know
you're
applying
different
standards
arbitrarily.
H
E
L
So
let
me,
may
I
clarify
two
things
one
is
we
need
to
revisit
our
camping
situation
that
got
three
votes
last
time
instead
of
four
and
also
have
another
item
on
the
agenda
to
direct
you
and
the
staff
to
sit
down
with
txdot
and
say:
look
we
want
to
clean
this
up.
How
can
you
work
with
us
to
do
that?
So
those
are
the
two
two
items
that
we
need
to
address
up
here.
B
L
N
Let
me
address
the
camping
thing
again,
because
at
the
time
we
brought
that-
and
that
was
several
years
ago.
You
know
the
law
has
evolved
since
then,
and
the
president's
status
of
the
law
is
is
that
as
to
the
homeless,
if
you're
gonna
displace
them,
you
have
to
have
a
place
to
relocate
them
to,
and
if
you
don't
have
enough
beds
in
beaumont
to
place
them,
then
you
can't
displace
them.
That's
the
current
status
of
the
law
and
as
to
criminalizing
their
condition.
N
L
C
L
H
N
B
E
There
is
that's
private
property
and
there's
some
woods
behind.
I
think
a
nursing
home
rehabilitation
center.
B
B
E
Know
the
police
department
knows
we
all.
We
know
most
of
them.
So
under
that
scenario,
that
you
have
again
a
lot
of
folks
under
10
and
mlk,
10
and
7th
street
and
then
behind
home
depot.
As
you
mentioned,
one
on
call,
those
are
the
ones
probably
have
the
largest
number,
so
two
are
owned
by
txdot
and
two
are
owned
by
private
parties.
H
From
there,
yes,
the
well
as
to
the
property
that
is
behind
the
nursing
home
facility
off
of
college,
that
is
owned
by
beaumont
tractor
and.
B
L
E
Need
a
vote
on
that.
I
just
need
four
of
you
to.
I
know
that
four
of
you
in
agreement-
you
haven't
been
in
the
past,
so
if
I
could
just
know
that
four
of
you
in
agreement
to
go,
negotiate
something
that'd
be
first
and
then
second,
I
would
have
chris
boone
and
tower
tyrone
work
on
get
that
no
camping,
ordinance
back
out.
Give
you
a
draft.
E
E
Like
this,
you
you'll
talk
to
texas.
I
think
I
think
the
consensus
is
there
we'll
do
that,
we'll
reach
out
to
txdot
again
see
what
they're
willing
to
do
just
know.
It's
not
gonna
look
very
different
from
where
they
are
from
a
legal
standpoint
at
this
time,
because
you're
still
gonna
you'd
still,
let's
say
we
reach
an
agreement
to
go
clean
it
up.
E
I
mean
it's
a
almost
like
a
village
and
it's
again
bicycles
and
personal
items
and
makeshift
fencing
and
a
car
was
there
two
weeks
ago.
I
didn't
see
it
the
last
time
I
went
by,
but
it's
it's
a
mess,
so
they're
not
going
to
allow
us
unless
they've
changed
their
mind
in
the
last
couple
months,
they're
not
going
to
allow
us
to
go.
Remove
those
items
so
you're
still
going
to
see
everything
you
see
except
the
litter
just
thrown.
E
L
You
know
so
we'll
take
that
and
we
can
also,
since
we
negotiate
with
every
one
of
these
individuals
that
pick
up
trash,
you
would
think
we
could
be
able
to
work
out
a
deal
with
one
of
them
or
all
of
them
that
have
dumpsters
to
say
you
know
we
might
be
able
to
factor
that
into
our
contract,
of
putting
one
a
certain
place
and
picking
it
up.
G
A
quick
question:
it's
my
understanding.
I've
read
two
different
articles.
One
says
54
one
says
70
percent,
but
my
understanding
that
houston
has
reduced
their
homeless
population
by
those
those
two
percentages.
G
I
I'm
not
sure
that
we
would,
like
you,
know
their
solution,
but
can
we
reach
out
to
houston
as
a
sister
city
and
ask
them?
What
have
you
done
and
look
at
their
program,
whether
it's
54
or
70
percent?
That's
a
huge
reduction
in
their
population,
homeless,
population
and.
L
G
Thank
you
councilman.
Well,
what
can
can
we
reach
out
to
houston
just
to
to
see
what
they're
doing.
B
Camping,
if
it
comes
before
us,
what's
the
what,
if
we
put
one
in
place,
what
do
we
have
to
do
like
what
city
attorney
was
saying
earlier
beds,
another
location?
How
will
that
work
if
it
is
on
private
property,.
B
E
You
you
know,
I
think,
he's
the
president-elect
of
the
international
municipal
lawyers
association,
which
is
a
big
deal,
and
they
talk
about
this
all
the
time
he
tells
him.
E
Conference
with
him
and
yeah
every
city
across
the
country
of
any
size
is,
is
tackling
this
issue,
and
and
no
one
solved
it.
I
mean
there's
some
programs
out
there
that
definitely
bring
the
numbers
of
the
homeless
on
the
streets
down.
E
H
L
H
People
are
literally
shooting
heroin
up
on
the
street
and
they're
cooking
meth
and
the
city
council
out.
There
has
basically
instructed
the
police
to
turn
a
blind
eye
to
it
and
it
has,
as
you
can
imagine,
created
a
horrendous
situation,
so
we
cannot
turn
a
blind
eye
to
this.
I
don't
know
that
we're
anywhere
near
that
or
that
we
would
get
to
that,
but
that
is
a
that
is
a
destination
that
you
can't
get
to.
If
you
just
ignore
it.
E
Yeah,
I
think,
as
long
as
as
long
as
I'm
the
city
manager
and
chief
singletary's,
the
police
chief,
and
we
have
the
folks
we
do
and
knowing
the
council
we're
not
going
to
allow
anything
like
that.
In
fact,
you
need
to
go
out
lynn
over
here
to
hewing
street
off
a
calder
litter
everywhere
and
we
ought
to
write
up
those
owners.
E
I
don't
know
it's
vacant
properties
right
next
to
that
convenience
store
it's
terrible
todd
semino
and
I
went
out
there
today
and
drove
around
so
you
know,
I
think
if
the
public
can
help
us
by
calling.
E
To
311
me
know,
through
the
police
department
to
code
enforcement,
we've
all
seen
the
numbers
increase
quite
a
bit,
although
even
over
the
last
two
years,
especially
you
know
over
the
last
say
five
ten
years,
so
I
don't
want
the
public.
To
think
that
I
mean
our
code
enforcement
folks
do
a
really
good
job.
E
Our
police
department
does
a
really
good
job
it.
It
takes
time
and
meaning
you
have
to
give
people
proper
notice
for
violations
which
you
consider
today
with
those
three
properties
I
mean
we
can't,
even
though
we'd
like
to
you,
have
to
give
people
notice
so
many
days
to
abate
it
and
if
they
don't,
then
you
file
some
municipal
court
that
takes
time
some
people
get
extensions.
It's
not
a
quick
process.
It
just.
E
We
all
know
that
and
the
police
department
can
go
and
do
a
lot
of
good
work
and
the
public
may
not
see
it
because
they
drive
by
college
and
I-10
and
they
see
two
or
three
people
out
there
and
they
think
golly.
Why
is
the
city
tolerating
this?
Well,
it's
not
our
property
number
one,
but
second,
we
may
have
written
10
citations
the
day
before
we
may
have
arrested
a
few
folks
but
they're
out
there
the
next
day,
so
we
we
have
to
stay
on
top
of
it.
I
think
there
is
more.
E
The
city
can
do
possible,
there's
no
camping,
ordinance
and
we'll
bring
that
back
to
you
and
it's
not
it's
not
an
easy.
It's
not
an
easy.
E
Live
here
we
all
want
the
city
to
to
look
better
and
unfortunately,
if
you
I'm
gonna
digress
for
a
second,
I
mean
I-10
69
looks
better
than
it
ever
has
amen.
That's
because
of
our
staff
out
there.
That's
mowing
it
and
weed
eating
and
they're
on
top
of
it
and
they've
only
had
it
about
a
year
year
and
a
half
I
mean
it
looks
really
good
and
we're
making
progress
all
the
time
and
yeah
it's
disheartening
for
us
sometimes
to
drive
by
these
locations.
G
Yes,
city
manager,
I'm
sorry
and
we
we
have
to
also
you
know,
consider
I
don't
know
what
the
plans
look
like,
but
the
major
project
that's
coming
with
txdot
over
the
next,
what
whatever
five
years,
but
how
that's
going
to
impact
those
two
locations
at
mlk
and
7th
street,
because
I'm
not
sure
what
that's
going
to
do
to
that.
E
I
think
those
underpasses
are
still
going
to
be
there
probably,
and
so
you
may
have
the
and
I
don't
know
how
much
information
you
want.
But
what
happens
there
was.
This
is
just
one
example:
the
police
department
was
working
and
our
code
enforcement
folks
all
the
time.
There
were
some
woods
over
here
by
sunlight,
manor
baptist
church
across
from
mlk.
If
you
went
to
the
event
center
and
went
west
across
mlk
railroad
company
owned,
you
know
this
wooded
area.
There
are
probably
30
people
back
there
living
30
people,
one
had
an
rv
one.
E
E
I
asked
them
to
go
out
to
you
know
a
couple
locations
and
they
did
and
they
cited
people.
As
you
know,
chief
clay
said
well
what
happened.
Well,
they
just
started
going
in
two
blocks.
They
just
started
moving
in
two
blocks
in
either
direction,
so
you
had
more
people
walking
around
certain
neighborhoods
again,
that's
scary
to
some
people
who
never
had
people
sitting
on
their
curb
all
day,
long
in
front
of
their
house.
E
So
every
action
there's
a
reaction,
and
so
you
may
try
to
clean
up
a
certain
area,
and
so
you
have
to
be
careful
what
you
do,
unfortunately,
with
with
so
many
transients
right
now,.
F
We
all
make
these
decisions
the
more
comfortable
you
make,
a
location
that
location
is
going
to
grow,
the
world
will
get
out
and
that
location
will
grow.
So
that's
that's
an
important
part
of
the
decision
process
that
you
guys
might
have
to
make,
because
the
word.
F
B
Looking
at,
thank
you,
okay,
all
right!
That
concludes
this
work
session
and
we'll
move
to
public
comment.
So
is
there
anyone
that
is
waiting
to
speak?
Do
you
all
know,
there's
not
okay,
so
there's
no
one
waiting
to
speak
so
I'll
start
with
you,
councilman
samuel,
please.

A
You
mayor
I'd
just
like
to
inquire,
there's
citizen
concerned
a
group
of
citizens
rather
want
to
know
if
steve
drive,
if
we've
ever
attempted
to
make
steve
drive
a
public
right-of-way
as
opposed
to
a
private
street.
A
L
Thank
you
mayor.
We
want
to
compliment
our
staff
todd
and
all
your
folks
and
kyle
everybody
when
you
start
putting
these
budgets
together.
L
I
want
the
citizens
of
beaumont
to
know
that
we
tell
you
on
occasion,
but
it's
important
for
everybody
to
know
that
there's
a
lot
more
goes
into
this
than
it
looks
like
when
we
just
bring
it
up
and
say
here's
what
we're
looking
at
right
now,
a
couple
of
you
know,
I
tell
I
routinely
point
out
people
that
we've
had
in
our
community
that
have
made
a
dramatic
impact
that
aren't
with
us.
L
But
recently
we
lost
two
individuals,
susan
oliver,
who
was
an
outstanding
attorney
here
in
southeast
texas
and
passed
away
with
cancer
and.
L
She
grew
up
and
well
actually
she's
born
in
alabama,
but
got
to
texas
as
soon
as
she
could.
Susan
was
a
lovely
person
very
involved
in
the
community,
we're
going
to
miss
her
also
colonel
jim
crittenden.
A
lot
of
people
knew
a
jim
crittenden,
as
the
owner
of
tricon
before
or,
alas,
and
ahmad
sarkis
bought
it
from
him
many
years
ago,
but
he
was
also
a
retired
army
colonel,
so
he
was
dedicated
not
just
to
our
community,
but
our
country
and
served
30
plus
years
in
the
army
and
the
army
reserves.
L
But
we're
going
to
miss
him
he's
a
great
great
gentleman.
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
serve
in
his
command
at
one
time.
On
a
positive
note.
Next
week,
professional
golf
is
coming
back
for
women
in
beaumont
texas,
the
world
world's
all
women's
all-pro
tour
is
coming
to
beaumont.
It's
the
beaumont
emergency
center
babe
zaharias
open
it's
going
to
be
played
at
the
beaumont
country
club,
which
was
where
the
original
lpga
tour
event.
L
And
you
see
this
is
an
opportunity
for
young
professional
golfers
to
start
out
this
year.
It's
a
women's
all-pro
tour
next
year,
we're
going
to
move
to
a
symmetra
tour
and
the
top
10
finishers
in
symmetra
get
their
cards
for
the
lpga,
and
I
think
of
no
better
place
than
beaumont
texas
for
us
to
promote
women's
golf.
When
we
have
the
world's
greatest
woman
athlete
who
was
who
won
82
golf
tournaments,
which
sam
sneed
tide
and
he's
a
hall
of
famer
in
the
pga.
L
But
we've
got
a
lot
for
which
to
be
proud
here
and
so
you'll
be
seeing
some
individuals
that
are
going
to
be
playing
next
week.
I
think
we've
got.
We've
got
approximately
70
participants,
there's
going
to
be
a
pro-am
on
tuesday,
and
all
the
money
that's
raised
by
the
zaharias
foundation
will
go
anything
over.
The
cost
will
go
back
to
helping
us
pay
for
the
renovation
of
the
babes
harris
museum,
which
was
215
thousand
dollars
and
we're
going
to
be
opening
it
up
pretty
soon
to
the
public.
L
But
for
obvious
reasons,
we've
been
keeping
it
since
it's
we're
fine-tuning
the
renovation
we're
just
about
completely
done
with
that.
But
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
everything
set
up
perfectly
before
we
opened
up
the
museum
to
the
public
and
it's
still
going
to
be
free.
L
But
next
week
you'll
you'll
be
reading
and
hearing
and
seeing
on
television,
women's
all-pro
tour
and
we're
excited
that
the
babes
of
harris
foundation
as
president,
I'm
happy
to
say
that
we're
we're
sponsoring
it
and
it's
going
to
be
the
first
of
many
in
the
future.
L
L
G
You
mayor
this
is
the
first
regular
tuesday
council
meeting
that
we've
had
since
hurricane
laura
hit
and
as
we
were
preparing
for
the
storm,
I
had
the
privilege
for
the
first
time
to
witness
firsthand
eoc
and
how
well
it
was
operating
as
the
city
was
preparing
for
this
crisis,
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
to
the
citizens.
You
can
be
proud
of
your
mayor,
the
city
manager
tim
with
eoc,
the
staff,
the
employees,
the
first
responders
and
the
great
job
they
did
to
help
our
city
get
through
this
crisis.
G
A
year
and
a
half
ago
now,
councilman
neil
and
I
took
the
oath
of
office
for
the
first
time
on
city
council
and
as
new
all
new
council
members.
We
went
to
san
antonio
to
the
tml
training
for
new
council
members
and
in
the
meeting
the
gentleman
came
out
and
he
welcomed
everybody,
and
he
asked
all
the
new
council
members
to
please
stand
and
we
stood,
and
he
said
the
first
lesson
that
we
need
to
teach
you.
The
first
thing
that
we
need
to
tell
you
as
new
council
members.
G
Is
that
you're
all
idiots
now
he
said
that,
because
it's
a
tendency
we
all
have
as
people,
whether
it's
federal
state
or
local.
We
look
at
government
leadership
and
because
we
lack
understanding
and
information,
we
have
a
tendency
to
play
monday
morning,
quarterback
to
critique
and
criticize
people
and
to
say
they're
all
idiots.
I've
done
it,
but
after
working
close
with
the
mayor,
the
city
manager,
this
council
city
employees,
our
first
responders,
I
can
say
to
the
citizens
of
beaumont.
G
These
people
are
not
idiots
they're,
not
perfect,
but
they're,
good
people,
they're
southeast
texas
people
and
they're
doing
the
best
job
they
can,
and
I
just
had
the
opportunity
to
be
at
elc
and
watch
how
this
organization
works,
and
the
mayor
has
said
it
before
that
she's
very
proud
of
them.
But
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
saw
it
firsthand
and
I
am
proud
of
our
city.
I
am
proud
of
the
way
we
operate
and
function.
G
It's
not
perfect,
but
let
me
just
give
you
one
last
thought
the
problem
with
looking
from
the
stands
on
the
on
the
ball
field
and
watching
other
people
do
things
in
leadership
in
the
game.
Is
that
oftentimes,
you
form
an
opinion
based
on
the
tip
of
the
iceberg.
G
You
see
just
the
tip
and
if
you
think
what
you
see
on
tuesday,
what
happens
here
constitutes
the
leadership
and
all
they
do
you're
wrong,
you're,
seeing
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
underneath
that
water
line
is
this
massive
body
of
work
and
information
that
you're
not
seeing?
How
could
you
and
whenever
you
form
an
opinion
based
on
just
limited
information
or
misinformation,
that
you
get
off
of
social
media?
G
H
You
know
last
week,
council,
member
neil
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
join
with
some
others
to
go
over
to
our
neighboring
state
in
louisiana
and
deliver
some
food
to
some
first
responders,
and
I
got
to
tell
you
we
were
lucky
in
that
laura
did
not
come
through
beaumont.
I
have.
H
I
mean
I've
been
through
all
the
hurricanes
that
everybody
else
has
been
through
here
and
we've
not
had
anything,
including
rita.
That
has
done
the
devastation
that
happened
in
sulphur
in
lake
charles,
it's
it's
just
it's
just
unbelievable.
It's
catastrophic
and
those
those
folks
are
going
to
be
without
water
electricity
for
weeks
probably
months,
and
we
just
need
to
count
our
blessings
and
try
to
find
a
way
to
help
our
neighbors
any
way
we
can.
Thank
you
mayor.
E
Mayor
pro
tem,
thank
you
for
your
comments.
The
mayor
celebrated
a
birthday
yesterday.
C
B
I
did
have
anything,
okay,
all
right
and
I
don't
really
either
so
we
have
still
have
quite
a
bit
to
do
so.
Thank
you
all
for
coming.
We
are.
