Heavenly
Father
we
as
we
begin
this
meeting
this
day.
We
want
to
give
you
thanks.
Father
I
want
to
thank
you
mostly
just
for
Beaumont
Texas
Lord,
for
the
good
things
that
we're
seeing
father.
We
know
that
there's
trouble
all
brewing
across
our
nation
Lord,
but
we
have
seen
very
little
of
it
in
our
in
our
city
and
I'm,
so
thankful
for
the
leadership
of
this
city.
That's
that
has
kept
this
Lord
in
the
time.
B
In
these
times
of
turmoil
as
we
come,
we
we
commit
this
meeting
to
you,
Lord,
that
your
will
might
be
accomplished
in
it,
because
your
will
will
certainly
always
be
the
best
for
Beaumont
I.
Ask
you
to
lead
the
leaders,
Lord
open
their
hearts,
their
eyes
and
the
ears
of
their
understanding.
So
so
they
can
hear
the
best
way
to
take
this
city,
father
God,
because
I
believe
with
all
my
heart
that
this
the
welfare
of
this
city
is
the
reason
that
we're
meeting
here
I.
Thank
you
for
this.
B
C
A
You
we
don't
have
any
presentations
or
proclamations
today,
so
I
will
move
right
into
public
comment.
Now
would
be
the
time
for
any
citizen
who
wishes
to
speak.
If
you
would
like
to
make
public
comment
today,
unscheduled
agenda
items,
one
through
three-
are
the
consent
agenda.
The
time
to
do
so
is
now.
If
you
haven't
already
done
so,
please
fill
out
the
green
slip
hand
it
to
the
officer.
We
will
call
out
your
name
as
it
was
received.
We
would
appreciate,
if
you
keep
your
comments
to
three
minutes.
A
The
green
light
will
come
on
when
you
approach
the
podium
and
the
red
light
will
come
on
when
your
time
is
up.
We
do
have
a
work
session
and
a
public
hearing,
and
after
that
we
will
have
an
item
number
for
if
you
do
want
to
speak
on
item
number
for
the
time
to
do.
That
would
be
during
the
public
hearing
right
before
it
and
if
you
have,
if
you
desire
to
speak
on
any
other
item,
I
will
open
up
the
microphone
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
for
that
purpose.
A
D
A
E
E
And
it's
part
of
the
contract
that
we
have
with
the
Beaumont
Police
Officers
Association.
The
city
is
obligated
to
provide
a
defense
to
police
officers
when
they
are
sued
in
their
official
capacity.
Is
that
correct
its
statutory
okay?
So
that's?
Why
we're
doing
that
we're
providing
a
defense
for
this
police
officer,
there's
nothing
by
selling
this
case.
That
says
we
take
a
position
one
way
or
the
other
with
regard
to
this
lawsuit,
as
a
city
in
part,
is
that
true.
F
E
G
E
H
In
August
of
2018,
the
City
Council
approved
a
budget
amendment
to
transfer
2.1
million
from
the
hotel
occupancy
tax
fund
to
the
general
improvements
projects
for
the
renovation
of
the
terrell
park
visitors
center
on
May,
the
12th
of
this
year.
The
City
Council
awarded
awarded
a
contract
to
McGinnis
construction
for
those
renovations
in
the
amount
of
1
million
four
hundred
seventy
three
thousand
with
a
base
bid
and
approximately
fifty
two
thousand
six
hundred
for
several
alternate
bids.
H
Since
the
bids
came
in
under
the
amount
that
was
estimated,
it
is
recommended
that,
and
our
recommendation
has
changed
from
what
was
in
your
packet
in
your
packet
Friday.
We
were
recommending
that
$450,000
be
transferred
after
reviewing
it
again
with
staff.
This
morning,
I
just
recommended
that
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
be
transferred
back
to
the
general
improvements
or
from
the
general
improvements
project
fund
to
the
hot
fund.
The
hot
fund
is
expected
to
receive
less
revenue
than
what
was
budgeted
this
year.
H
D
H
E
H
E
J
E
I
know
we
already
have
some
out
there,
but
this
would
be
unique
because
it
would
be
a
replication
of
what
it
actually
looked
like
back
in
the
back
in
the
30s
when
it
was
originally
built.
It
wouldn't
have
to
have
HVAC,
although
it
could,
but
the
time
to
put
the
roof
on
the
building
I
think
would
be.
While
we
have
the
contractor
on
site
and
while
we're
while
we're
doing
this,
I
have
spoken
to
the
architect.
He
has
indicated
that
you
know
it
could.
E
A
A
K
H
Council,
a
lot
number
two
is
an
ordinance
entitled
an
ordinance
granting
a
franchise
for
solid
waste
collection
and
transportation
services
to
action.
Trucking
company
action,
trucking
company,
has
requested
a
franchise
agreement.
The
company
is
focused
on
construction
and
demolition
waste.
The
franchise
provides
for
a
term
of
one
year
from
its
effective
date
and
a
franchise
fee
of
seven
percent
of
gross
revenues
received
for
service
according
to
the
city
charter,
franchises
ordinances
require
readings
at
three
separate
council
meetings.
Today
is
that
first
reading
the
administration
recommends
approval
Thank.
A
A
E
H
Three
is
to
consider
resolution
approving
a
five-year
lease
purchase
agreement
with
KS
State
Bank,
located
in
Manhattan
Kansas
for
the
purchase
of
a
fire
truck
back
in
March
of
this
year,
Council
approved
a
reimbursement
resolution
for
the
lease
purchase
agreement
to
reimburse
the
city
for
the
purchase
of
a
fire
truck
in
the
amount
of
seven
hundred
and
forty
nine
thousand
four
hundred.
Eighty
eight
dollars
bids
were
requested
for
a
fixed
interest
rate
to
finance
the
truck
with
the
first
payment
in
arrears.
H
The
total
lease
purchase
cost,
including
interest,
would
be
eight
hundred
and
ten
thousand
one
hundred
ten
dollars
and
ninety-five
cents.
The
administration
is
recommending
again
an
agreement
with
KS
state
bank
with
an
interest
rate
of
two
point:
six
five
percent,
and
if
you
approve
this
item,
funds
would
be
budgeted
in
the
fiscal
year.
2021
budget,
specifically
in
the
capital
reserve
fund,
where
you
all
normally
do
this.
The
administration
recommends
approval
Thank.
D
A
H
Is
standard
for
us,
it
depends
on
the
fund.
For
example,
in
the
fiscal
year
2020
budget
we
recommended
the
council
approved.
We
bought
a
number
of
garbage
trucks,
for
example,
in
the
solid
waste
line,
because
we
had
a
lot
of
cash.
Our
fund
balance
was
very
strong
and
we
thought
that
was
the
thing
to
do.
We
normally
finance
these
fire
trucks
because
of
the
high
dollar
amount,
otherwise
you
just
be
taking
it
either
out
of
fund
balance,
which
we
try
to
preserve.
H
M
Good
afternoon,
the
city
of
Beaumont
has
been
working
to
better
identify
flood
prone
areas
within
the
city
and
how
to
address
them
for
a
number
of
years.
As
part
of
this
effort,
the
city
contracted
with
Lockwood
Andrews
and
Newman
Inc,
otherwise
known
as
LAN
to
put
together
a
stormwater
master
plan.
The
project
was
split
into
three
$500,000
phases.
M
We
also
applied
for
a
two
hundred
and
eighty
seven
thousand
dollar
flood
protection
grant
from
the
Texas
Water
Development
Board
to
expand
the
plan
and
include
areas
located
in
the
Hildebrandt
by
you
and
the
nature's
River
watersheds.
The
city
did
receive
that
grant
dd6
participated
with
a
$75,000
match
towards
the
study,
so
with
everything
all
in
the
total
amount
invested
in
the
stormwater
master
plan
was
1
million,
eight
hundred
fifty-four
thousand
eight
hundred
fifty
two
dollars
and
85
cents.
We
received
the
final
version
of
the
plan
and
December
of
twenty
19.
M
We
intended
for
LAN
to
come
present
to
Council
and
unfortunately,
we
were
delayed
due
to
kovat
starting
early
this
year,
but
as
Kyle
mentioned
LAN
is
here
today.
Dd6
is
here
today
and
I.
Believe
Donald
Smith
from
TxDOT
is
also
here
to
hear
the
presentation
Russ
for
Matt,
mangas
and
Charles
Shumate
are
with
LAN
and
believe
Matt
is
going
to
present.
The
study
tale.
N
Thanks
Bart,
as
Bart
mentioned,
my
name
is
Matt
mangas
I'm,
with
Lockwood
Anderson,
enum,
LAN
and
I'm
here
today
to
present
a
overview
of
the
master
drainage
plan
prepared
for
Beaumont,
handy
d6,
I'm
joined
by
Russ,
Ford
and
Charles
Shumate
also
of
LAN,
and
also
Andie
chica
of
chicken
associates,
are
teaming
partner
on
this
project.
So
today,
what
we're
gonna
do
is
take
a
high
overview
of
what
the
master
of
drainage
plan
is,
what
it
covers
and
some
of
the
outcomes
of
it.
Since
it
is
citywide
in
nature.
N
N
What
were
the
results
of
the
study
and
then
talk
about
the
proposed
improvements
recommended
as
part
of
that
study,
so
we're
gonna
talk
about
those
at
a
high
level
and
not
not
look
at
each
project
on
an
individual
sense
this
afternoon,
18:18
of
them
would
be
to
two
in
depth.
For
today's
discussions,
so
we're
gonna
look
at
those
at
a
high
level.
N
Before
we
go
too
far.
Drainage
tends
to
be
fairly
lingo
heavy
and
a
lot
of
definitions.
So
we
want
to
hit
a
couple
of
key
terms
that
we're
gonna
be
talking
about
this
afternoon.
Frequently
we
hear
the
100-year
storm
referred
to
commonly.
It's
thought
that
the
hundred
year
storm
occurs
every
hundred
years.
A
more
accurate
way
of
saying
is
you
have
a
1%
chance
of
it
occurring
in
any
given
year,
so
the
mains,
we
have
1%
chances
of
occurring
this
year
and
we
have
another
1%
chance
of
occurring
next
year.
N
So
it's
based
on
statistical
analysis,
but
it's
important
to
remember
that
it
is
just
a
percentage
likelihood
of
occurring
in
any
given
year,
so
the
Hundred
Years
storms
of
the
most
severe
storm
that
was
analyzed
as
part
of
this
study
the
25
year
storm
similar
to
the
hundred
year.
Storm
does
not
occur
every
25
years,
but
has
a
4
percent
chance
of
occurring
in
any
single
year.
N
10
year,
storm
has
a
10
percent
chance
of
occurring
in
any
year
and
then
the
5
year
in
two
years
storm
have
a
20
percent
and
50
percent
chance
of
occurring
respectively
in
any
year.
So
the
two
year's
storm-
that's
a
pretty
frequent
storm
hundred
years
of
a
less
frequent
storm,
more
severe,
less
frequent
storm.
A
few
other
key
terms.
Detention
and
retention
are
commonly
part
of
storm
water
improvements,
detention
and
retention.
The
difference
between
those
just
being
how
the
water
is
stored.
Detention
is
a
temporary
storage
of
water,
so
the
rain
event
happens.
N
The
pond
fills
up
and
then
drains
out.
Afterward
retention
is
where
it's
a
permanent
storage
of
water,
so
it
fills
up
during
an
event,
and
then
you
rely
on
evaporation
or
infiltration
or
reuse
for
that
water
to
draw
back
down
after
that,
after
the
storm
event
level
of
service.
This
is
something
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
when
it
comes
to
you.
How
are
the
storm
water
systems
performing
so
level
of
service
is
how
that
storm
water
system
is
performing
according
to
the
criteria.
So
do
you
have
ponding?
N
Do
you
have
ponding
that
exceeds
certain
depths,
or
do
you
have
insufficient
capacities
in
storm
sewer
systems?
It
is
important
to
remember
that
the
roadway
system
is
part
of
the
drainage
system
for
severe
events,
so
you
will
see
ponding
in
roadways
even
for
more
severe
events
in
order
to
keep
that
below
ground.
You'd
have
very
large
storm
sewer
systems
for
all
storm
events.
Another
thing
that
we
see
a
lot
of,
especially
in
the
Gulf
Coast
and
Beaumont,
is
overflow,
so
overflow
is
flow.
That
leaves
one
particular
watershed
or
storm
sewer
system
and
enters
another
one.
N
So
there's
not
always
nice
neat
boundaries
for
drainage
areas
and
that
water
will
flow
from
system
to
system.
If
you
don't
have
enough
capacity
in
one
or
the
other
this
afternoon,
I'm
not
going
to
dwell
too
much
on
the
computer
modeling
that
was
used,
but
talk
a
little
bit
about
it
and
show
some
examples
of
it.
This
was
done
with
what's
called
1d
and
2d
modeling.
It
is
a
newer
style
of
drainage,
modeling
that
more
accurately
represents
flooding
events
and
what
it
does
is
represent
both
your
subsurface
system.
N
So
your
storm
sewer
systems,
culverts,
storm,
sewer
and
then
also
all
of
your
overland
flow,
so
that
2d
represents
the
overland
flow.
How
it
flows
between
streets
or
along
streets
is
really
important
to
understanding
accurately
how
a
storm
sewer
system
and
stormwater
system
are
working
study
limits,
as
Bart
mentioned,
this
encompassed
the
entire
area
of
Beaumont,
as
well
as
some
as
we'll
get
into
in
a
few
more
slides,
some
areas
to
the
west
to
look
at
contributing
areas.
N
So
some
introduction
about
the
master
drainage
plan
generally,
a
master
drainage
plan
will
describe
a
city's
drainage
characteristics.
So
how
does
it
operate
during
a
design
storm
where
the
deficiencies
were
key
to
have
improvements
and
then
recommend
drainage
system
improvements
and
then
based
on
those?
They
can
be
prioritized
and
develop
a
plan
for
the
future,
as
Bart
also
mentioned.
This
was
completed
in
2019
and
we're
here
today
to
give
you
a
broad
overview
of
what
was,
in
the
master
plan,
a
little
background
on
why?
Why
do
we
update
the
master
drainage
plan?
N
It's
been
30
plus
years
since
the
last
update.
It
was
a
document
that
got
a
lot
of
use
and
was
frequently
referred
to,
but
it
was
time
to
update
that
that
plan
was
hardcopy
in
nature,
so
there
wasn't
digital
information
to
go
with
that.
It
was
limited
in
some
of
the
reporting
capabilities
relative
to
today's
options,
so
didn't
have
visual
ponding
extents.
That
will
show
here
in
a
few
slides
and
you
can
add
metrics
things
like
structures
at
risk
in
dated
roadways
and
impassable
intersections,
based
on
current
information
beyond
just
the
technical
changes.
N
There's
been
a
number
of
regional
changes
in
the
last
30
plus
years
in
the
Belmont
area.
There's
been
new
developments,
there's
been
infrastructure,
improvements,
repairs,
replacements,
additions
projects
by
dd6
for
ponds
and
culverts,
and
also
strong
water
improvement
systems
based
on
the
city.
So,
in
order
to
understand
how
everything
is
functioning,
a
current
understanding
of
everything
is
required.
N
Out
of
the
master
drainage
plan,
there
were
seven
seven
major
goals,
the
first
one
that
was
one
of
the
largest
tasks
in
the
overall
study
was
developing
the
digital
drainage
network.
So
this
is
this
was
very
time-consuming
task.
In
order
to
understand
what
storm
sewer
infrastructure
was
installed
where
within
the
city,
it
wasn't
enough
to
know
that
we
have
storm
sewer
on
a
particular
street.
We
need
to
know
how
big
is
that
storm
sewer?
How
deep
is
it
in
the
ground
in
order
to
understand
its
capacity?
N
So
we
have
to
know
where
all
this
from
storm
sewers
connect
to
where
the
inlets,
where
the
manholes
and
where
did
they
out
fall.
So
this
was
a
considerable
effort
that
we'll
talk
about
more
in
a
few
more
slides
another
one
of
the
goals
was
the
watershed
based
approach
for
this,
rather
than
looking
at
a
singular
storm
sewer
system
or
singular
drainage
channel.
This
was
looking
at
an
entire
watershed
at
once,
because
what
happens
is
as
watersheds
receive
a
rainfall
event.
N
N
So
the
watershed
based
approach
allows
us
to
develop
existing
conditions,
understanding,
which
is
just
how
is
the
strong
water
system
performing
for
a
particular
storm
event?
What
this
allows
us
to
do
is
better
define
flood
risk
so
understand
where
we
have
ponding
that
doesn't
meet
criteria.
Where
may
there
be
structures
at
risk
or
where
may
there
be
impassable
roadways?
N
For
your
buck
early
in
the
project,
a
couple
of
important
things
to
mention,
the
master
drainage
plan
was
not
focused
on
hurricane
rainfall
or
storm
surge,
storm
surge,
they're,
really
looking
at
a
localized
rainfall
event
and
how
that
can
be
handled
as
Doug
mentioned.
Excuse
me,
bart
mentioned
this
was
a
jointly
funded
project
through
the
city
dd6
and
the
water
development
board,
the
Water
Development
Board.
This
was
the
flood
protection
planning
grant
process,
and
this
was
a
competitive
selection
process.
So
this
was
not
hey
everyone.
That
applies
is
selected
for
this
grant.
N
The
city
competed
against
other
entities
within
the
state
and
was
selected
for
this
to
better
understand
ultimate
flood
risk
within
the
city,
so
the
scale
of
this
study.
Obviously
this
included
city
limits,
plus
some
out
to
the
west,
encompassed
about
one
hundred
and
fifteen
square
miles,
spread
over
three
modeling
regions
in
the
regions
were
broken.
The
city
was
broken
up
into
regions
to
phase
it
over
years
and
also
those
regions
allow
for
watershed,
breaks
between
storm
sewer
systems.
N
There
are
storm
sewer,
interconnects
that
cross
the
region,
boundaries
which
are
accounted
for,
but
it
was
from
a
workflow
production
standpoint,
breaking
it
up
into
individual
regions
within
all
three
regions.
We
had
about
420
miles,
storm
sewer,
so
a
lot
of
asset
information
developed
for
that.
So
that's
every
every
pipe,
culvert
roadside,
ditch
within
the
city,
and
on
top
of
that
there
was
an
additional
525
miles
of
open
channel,
so
the
open,
channel
and
storm
sewer
systems
looking
at
those
together
is
important.
N
It's
important
because
your
storm
sewer
systems
drain
to
your
channel
and
if
your
channel
maybe
doesn't
have
enough
capacity,
your
storm
sewer
systems
upstream
can't
drain
either.
So
it
doesn't
matter
how
big
those
upstream
systems
are,
if
you
don't
have
any
downstream
capacity.
So
it's
important
to
look
at
these
collectively
to
understand
how
the
entire
system
is
gonna
operate.
N
As
I
mentioned,
the
data
collection
was
one
of
the
key
components
to
doing
this
project,
so
it
was
comprehensive
digital
inventory
that,
prior
to
this
project,
there
were
record
drawings
available,
but
not
a
seamless
data
set
of
the
storm
sewer
assets.
Preview
of
the
previous
efforts
have
been
done
for
water
projects
and
sanitary,
but
this
project
developed
the
asset
layer
for
storm
water,
so
the
storm
water
assets
not
only
were
just
where
is
their
pipe,
but
it
was.
O
N
N
So
this
was
part
of
the
effort
that
Andy
and
his
staff,
assisted
with
based
on
their
local
knowledge,
to
pull
this
information
together
to
develop
a
seamless
data
set
for
the
analysis
without
understanding
where
and
how
big
the
storm
sewer
systems
were.
We
wouldn't
be
able
to
undertake
this
analysis
because
we
needed
that
information
to
be
able
to
go
forward
with
with
the
analysis
itself
as
we
start
to
move
into
the
existing
conditions.
It's
important
to
understand
what
are
the
storm
events
that
we're
looking
at.
N
As
I
mentioned,
we
looked
at
two
year:
three
100-year
storm
events,
so
these
are
50%
through
1%
and
depending
on
the
event,
these
events
range
between
5
and
about
15
inches
of
rain
over
24
hours.
It's
important
to
recognize
that
these
storms
are
not
something
that
you
pulled
straight
from
a
rain
gauge
or
would
be
able
to
pull
straight
from
a
rain
gauge.
These
are
storms
based
on
statistical
information
and
how
much
rainfall
has
fallen
over
the
past.
So
these
are
what
are
called
theoretical
design
storms.
N
N
So
before
we
go
show
a
few
examples
of
what
some
of
the
outcome
of
the
existing
conditions
and
some
of
the
sample
from
the
data,
a
few
of
the
observations
about
the
existing
conditions
within
the
city
of
Beaumont
for
stormwater
performance.
These
are
not
true
everywhere
within
the
city.
These
are
generally
some
of
the
observations
that
we've
seen
and
they
vary
from
place
to
place.
N
But
generally
we
see
older
under
size,
storm
sewers
in
older
developments
or
older
roadways,
and
they
are
not
simply
undersized
because
they
are
old,
but
older
systems
were
installed
using
different
drainage
criteria,
so
as
the
understanding
of
the
science
behind
drainage
that
rainfall
information
has
changed.
So
if
it
was
designed
for
a
two
year
storm
forty
years
ago
that
two
year
storm
today
can
be
larger
than
it
was
40
years
ago.
So
older
systems,
older
criteria,
tend
to
be
under
sized.
N
Because
of
that
we
do
see
areas
with
cross
block
flooding,
so
it
means
flooding
that
leaves
one
street
crosses
the
street
and
flows
into
the
next
street.
Maybe
out
of
the
right
away,
it
may
be
shallow.
It
may
be
deep,
may
be
slow-moving,
but
we
do
see
some
locations
of
cross
block
flooding,
coupled
with
that,
we
see
some
long
duration
ponding
in
impassable
roadways.
So
these
are
areas
that
may
be
above
6
inches
for
the
sake
of
being
traversed
by
vehicles.
N
It
may
take
some
time
for
the
downstream
systems
to
drain,
and
ultimately
these
roadways
to
drain
and
then
depending
on
location.
There
are
areas
with
limited
outfall,
depth
or
capacity,
so
those
may
be
shallower
channels
that
if
they
were
deeper,
you
could
put
in
larger
taller
storm
sewer
systems
and
drain
more
water
to
them.
N
They
may
also
be
areas
with
limited
capacity
overall,
and
then
there
are
some
channels
within
the
city
that
have
Lynn
amid
right
away
adjacent
to
the
channels,
so
there
may
be
a
channel
and
then
homes
or
structures
immediately
adjacent
to
that
channel.
That
would
be
would
prevent
you
from
expanding
those
channels.
N
We
see
very
large
influence
due
to
what
we
call
surface
features
such
as
rails
and
canals
and
roadway
roadways,
they're,
typically
elevated
slightly
above
the
surrounding
area,
and
then
you're,
relying
on
a
culvert
or
crossing
beneath
them
to
drain
on
the
upstream
side,
and
then
we
do
see
the
opportunity
for
structural
flooding
for
larger
events
depending
on
location.
So
there
are
areas
that
that's
possible
to
occur
depending
on
the
storm
event.
N
What
I'm
going
to
do
now
is
show
a
snapshot
of
just
one
particular
area
out
of
this
model,
so
this
is
a
numeric
computer
model
designed
to
represent
flooding
conditions
for
a
1
1
%
storm
event.
This
is
a
video
that
I'm
going
to
show
it'll
loop
and
so
we'll
go
through
it
a
few
times.
But
what
you
see
on
this
video
is
what
we
have
available
throughout
the
entire
city.
N
You
have
storm
sewer
systems
in
red,
so
that
just
means
where
the
storm
sewer
is
generally
its
draining
to
the
south
here
and
then
in
blue.
We
see
ponding
and
the
darker,
the
blue
indicates
deeper
the
ponding,
and
what
this
is
representing
is
a
24
hour
storm
event,
so
you
can
see
the
clock
at
the
top
left
as
it
moves
through
time.
So
this
is
about
our
22
near
the
very
end
of
the
storm
event.
It's
going
to
start
over.
So
this
is
the
very
start.
N
N
So
there's
the
peak
of
the
rainfall
and
we
can
see
the
water
travel
to
some
of
the
low
points
and
then
drain
through
the
storm
sewer
systems
and
ultimately
drain
out
to
their
out
falls.
So
this
is
information
we
have
available
across
the
city.
This
is
just
a
small
snapshot
to
show
some
of
the
data
that
is
available
and
using
this
methodology
we
can
understand
the
surface
flow
components,
the
subsurface
flow
components
and
then
also
understand.
How
long
is
that
ponding
in
place?
N
Is
it
in
place
for
15
or
20
minutes
following
a
storm
event
and
draining
out
rapidly,
or
is
it
there
in
place
for
multiple
hours?
Following
a
strong
event,
I
would
argue
that
second,
one
is
more
important
than
it
churning
out
immediately
after
the
first
event.
So
what
this
does
is
give
us
a
richer
data,
set
to
understand
how
severe
and
where
are
the
problems
I
have.
E
A
question
the
rectangular
and
triangular
places
that
are
filling
up
about
the
six
hour
mark
for
those
detention
ponds.
P
N
N
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
step
through
the
fifty
percent
or
two
years
storm
event
through
the
100
year,
one
percent
event
for
a
citywide
snapshot.
So
there
are
major
street
labels.
I'm
not
gonna,
talk
about
specific
areas
at
this
scale,
but
just
to
illustrate
the
changes
you
move
from
a
smaller
storm
event
to
the
larger
storm
event.
What
we'll
see
is
the
ponding
depth
sand
extents
I
get
larger
and
deeper
as
the
events
get
more
severe,
so.
Q
N
N
N
So
this
is
what's
called
maximum
ponding
experience
during
a
particular
storm
event,
so
once
the
computer
model
for
this
was
developed,
it's
time
to
start
to
understand
the
existing
conditions
and
actually
identify
some
of
the
problem
areas,
it's
not
enough
to
just
say
it
floods,
you
need
to
understand:
why
does
it
flood
and
how
bad
does
it
flood?
So
some
of
those
problem
areas
can
be
identified
based
on
direct
model
output.
N
Others
were
identified
through
discussion
with
the
city
and
dd6,
based
on
institutional
knowledge,
whether
that
be
maintenance,
work
or
emergency
responders
or
previous
complaints,
and
then
a
insufficient
capacity
that
can
be
evaluated
looking
at
our
level
of
service.
So
how
does
that
system
perform
relative
to
our
criteria?
Does
it
make
ponding
extents
doesn't
make
ponding
depths,
so
those
insufficient
storm
series
can
be
identified
that
way
beyond
that.
N
A
ponding,
depth
and
duration
can
be
used
to
identify
problem
areas
as
Illustrated
before,
if
it
drains
out
very
quickly,
that's
less
severe
of
an
issue
than
an
area
that
paint
ponds
for
multiple,
multiple
hours
beyond
just
pure
ponding
depths
and
extents.
We
can
look
at
roadways
and
intersections
that
are
impassable
typically
characterized,
as
ponding
beyond.
Six
inches
is
impassable
to
most
most
vehicles,
so
we
can
look
at
how
many
intersections
are
impassable
based
on
that,
and
then
we
can
also
look
at
repetitive
loss
information,
so
this
is
based
on
your
floodplain
insurance.
N
So
if
somebody
holds
floodplain
insurance
for
a
particular
structure
and
all
are
flooded
and
then
makes
a
claim,
this
information
is
available
to
cities
and
districts
to
help
identify
and
understand
where
flood
risk
exists,
so
that
repetitive
loss
information
can
help
focus
on
some
of
the
problem
areas.
There
is
one
downside
to
that
that
not
everyone
has
flood
insurance,
so
it's
not
always
a
perfect
indicator
of
where
flood
risk
exists
beyond
just
the
repetitive
loss
information
based
on
the
model
outputs,
it's
a
bit
it's
possible
to
identify
potential
structures
at
risk.
N
So,
based
on
that
spatial
information,
we
can
identify
potential
structures
at
risk
of
ponding
for
particular
storm
events,
and
we
can
also
start
to
estimate
the
damage
associated
with
a
particular
storm
event.
So
for
a
1%
storm,
we
can
actually
estimate
the
damage
associated
with
that
based
on
four
pieces
of
other
information,
we
can
generate
what's
called
an
approximate
and
finished
floor
elevation,
so
that's
the
elevation
that
water
would
enter
a
structure,
so
that
can
be
estimated
based
on
terrain
information
and
then
using
the
ponding
depth.
N
Output
of
the
model
that
can
determine
whether
structure
would
or
would
not
be
flooded,
and
then
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
has
created
what
are
called
damage,
curbs
that
relate
the
amount
of
ponding
within
a
structure
to
the
amount
of
damage
within
a
structure.
For
instance,
one
foot
of
ponding
may
equal
a
10%
damage
of
the
market.
Value
of
that
structure.
Market
values
can
then
be
estimated
from
appraisal
district
values,
and
you
can
blend
all
four
pieces
of
those
information
together
to
develop
an
estimate
associated
with
a
particular
storm
event.
N
So
once
we've
identified
some
of
the
problem
areas,
the
time
begins
to
start
looking
at
proposed
improvements
from
a
very
simplistic
sense,
it'd,
be
very
easy
to
say.
Everything
that
was
not
designed
under
current
criteria
does
not
meet
current
criteria.
Dust
needs
to
be
replaced.
It's
a
very
costly
method
to
do
that.
So
what
we're
looking
at
is
really
the
more
severe
areas
rather
than
a
whole
system
replacement.
N
So
the
identification
of
these
proposed
improvements
was
based
on
repetitive
loss
structure,
information,
discussion
with
our
project
staff
at
the
city
and
then
looking
at
possible
intersections
and
improving
roadway
level
of
service
from
a
pond
in
perspective
and
then
also
taking
into
account
pavement
condition
information
that
may
be
beneficial
to
get
a
joint
project
in
the
future.
So
both
a
pavement
and
a
storm
sewer
improvement
project
coupled
together,
because
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
recommend
a
storm
sewer
improvement
project
that
would
run
down
good
condition.
Pavement.
N
That
was,
you
know,
just
place
the
number
of
years
ago,
so
the
two
together
helped
complement
each
other
with
overall
projects.
So
the
target
on
these
proposed
improvements
was
to
provide
a
25-year
level
service.
The
25-year
level
service
is
a
slightly
more
cost
effective
improvement,
the
larger
the
level
of
service
you
target
the
more
expensive
these
projects
become
the
25
year
level.
Servus
I
would
seek
to
provide
level
service
for
25
years
and
less
events
and
then
would
reduce
the
flood
risk
for
larger
storm
events.
N
The
evaluations
for
these
we're
focused
on
insufficient
systems
so
that
maybe
storm
sewer
systems,
culverts,
ditches
channels
and
maybe
all
of
those
coupled
together
and
then
also
targeting
open
areas
for
potential
detention
considerations
that
could
be
a
partnership
project.
So
it
was
really
focused
on
open
areas,
not
areas
with
structures
on
them.
So
really
an
open
area
focus
and.
E
N
So
these
proposed
improvement
projects,
18
planning
level
projects
for
identified,
and
it's
important
to
draw
attention
to
the
fact
that
these
are
planning
level
projects.
They
are
not
ready
for
construction,
so
they
are
concepts
for
how
big
of
a
stormwater
improvement
project.
Where
does
it
need
to
go?
How
big
is
it?
What
might
the
cost
considerations
be,
but
it
would
still
need
to
go
through
detailed
design
in
order
to
be
ultimately
constructed
and
handed
off
to
a
contractor.
So
these
these
four
projects
were
sorry.
These
18
projects
were
focused
around
four
project
types.
N
Some
had
combinations
of
these,
but
they
included
storm
sewer
improvement
projects,
so
subsurface
conveyance
projects
there
may
be
boxes
or
round
pipe
depending
on
size
and
shape
and
location.
They
may
also
have
included
limited
channel
improvements,
so
they
weren't
intended
to
be
a
large-scale
watershed,
wide
channel
improvement
project.
They
were
areas
of
pinch
points
or
capacity
considerations
right
away.
Acquisitions
for
the
sake
of
detention
ponds
were
focused
on
non
buyouts,
so
these
were
undeveloped
properties.
N
The
projects
were
prioritized
according
to
three
criteria
and
ultimately
developed
a
overall
score.
This
is
a
prioritization
and
ranking
system
similar
to
golf
that
the
lower
the
score
the
higher
the
ranking
in
this
case,
so
they
were
based
on
three
primary
criteria.
One
called
the
benefit
cost
ratio
and
the
benefit
cost
ratio
goes
back
to
the
damaged
discussion
that
we
had
during
the
existing
conditions.
So
if
you
calculate
the
damage
during
an
existing
condition,
you
proposed
a
project.
N
You
really
that
project
and
then
you
look
at
the
damage
reduced
by
that
project
and
then
you
look
at
that
damage
reduced
compared
to
the
project
cost
you
can
generate.
What's
called
a
project,
cost
benefit
cost
ratio
for
a
particular
project.
So
that
means
if
a
ten
million
dollar
project
prevents
fifty
million
dollars
worth
of
damage,
you
would
have
a
cost-benefit
ratio
of
five.
N
Anything
positive
above
one
means
that
the
project
prevents
more
structural
damage
than
the
project
costs,
so
it's
a
good
metric
for
how
efficient
a
project
is,
but
it's
also
a
key
component
to
applying
for
grant
funding
for
future
projects.
So
it's
typically
a
very
strong
consideration
for
grant
funding
opportunities
in
the
future
and
may
help
offset
some
of
the
project
costs.
N
Project
cost
was
also
included
within
the
evaluation
criteria.
We
all
know
that
budgets
are
always
asked
to
do
more,
with
less
and
as
mork's,
but
as
projects
are
more
expensive,
they
do
become
harder
to
encumber.
So
the
smaller
jobs
or
smaller
projects
with
benefits
typically
are
easier
to
construct
and
a
timely
manner,
and
then
reduction
in
impassable
intersections
was
a
consideration
for
the
sake
of
transportation
and
emergency
services.
A
little
more
on
the
prioritization
project
process.
N
I
did
compare
all
the
projects
that
against
each
other
and
then
for
all
three
categories,
benefit
cost
ratio,
project
cost
in
reduction
in
impassable
intersections.
These
were
ranked
and
determined
for
all
of
the
projects,
the
project
costs.
These
are
planning
level,
high
level
project,
opinions
of
probable
construction
cost
based
on
unit
rates
of
what
we're
seeing
in
the
region.
So
they
are
high
level
opinions
of
project
cost.
Each
of
these
criteria
are
ranked
and
then
the
weighted
contributions
are
applied
to
determine
the
total
score
for
the
overall
project.
N
Prioritization,
the
proposed
improvement
projects-
this
is
not
a
prioritized
list.
This
is
just
listing
all
of
them.
Together
we
do
have
combinations
of
storm
sewer
and
channel
modifications
and
channel
modifications
are
storm,
sewer
and
detention
basin
projects
all
told
is
just
shy
of
280
million
dollars
spread
across
these.
These
eighteen
projects.
N
N
These
projects
are
scattered
across
different
parts
of
the
city.
Now
we
do
see
some
larger
projects
there
on
east
and
south
of
I-10.
Those
are
some
storm
sewer
systems
that
are
very
interconnected
and
a
very
long
way
to
go
to
get
to
an
outfall.
So
it
doesn't
do
us
a
lot
of
benefit
to
improve
the
upstream
part
of
the
storm
sewer
system,
if
the
downstream
part
has
nowhere
to
take
that
water.
So
some
of
these
are
some
fairly
substantial
projects
overall
to
carry
some
of
that
water
away
from
problem
areas.
N
Also,
as
part
of
the
recommendations,
there
was
some
recommendations
for
flood
early
warning
systems
and
what
those
helped
do
is
provide.
Some
new
gauge
sites
may
provide,
as
the
photo
illustrates,
some
some
smart
crossing
where,
if
based
on
sensor
information
ponding
across
the
roadways
too
deep
for
a
car
traverse,
the
arm
can
drop
down
what
what
elves
do
is
decrease.
Reliance
on
in-person
alarms
for
low
water
crossings.
I
N
Thank
you,
yeah
and
those
those
are
site-specific,
this
one's
just
an
example.
You
would
set
it
based
on
the
kind
of
flooding
conditions
you
see
at
that
particular
crossing.
A
lot
of
the
gate.
Arms
are
really
to
prevent
people
from
driving
through
it.
There's
the
turn
around,
don't
drown
and
instead
of
having
people
go
out
and
set
barriers
up,
this
could
be
a
smart
smart
option
for
that.
N
So,
in
summary,
the
overall
drainage
master
plan
focused
on
a
few
major
things
boiling
it
down
to
the
essentials
they
developed
that
digital
drainage
inventory
of
all
of
the
stormwater
assets
within
the
city,
that
is,
information
that
can
be
reused
within
the
ongoing
asset
management
and
city
works
process
within
the
city.
So
what
that
does
is
help
inform
the
city
know
what
stormwater
infrastructure
is
where
what
size
is
it
and
what
kind
of
capacity
it
may
have?
N
The
watershed
based
analysis
in
this
case
did
not
isolate
two
particular
storm
sewer
system
or
channel,
but
does
provide
a
more
comprehensive
understanding
of
how
storm
events
and
flooding
events
can
occur
within
the
city.
This
does
give
us
a
really
good
understanding
of
stormwater
deficiencies
within
the
city,
so
knowing
where
insufficient
storm
sewer
isn't
is
in
place
or
where
those
improvements
could
be
could
provide
some
additional
flood
risk
reduction
and,
ultimately,
out
of
this
18
planning
level,
projects
were
identified
that
can
be
refined
through
future
detailed
design
and
analysis.
D
N
The
current
numbers
this
the
rainfall
information
for
this
was
based
on
some
USGS
information
from
1998
prior
to
you.
What's
come
out
recently,
the
NOAA
Atlas
14
information
that
has
up
that
anywhere
from
two
to
three
inches,
depending
on
where
you
are
so
it's
spatially,
based.
So
at
the
time
that
this
study
was
ongoing.
Dallas
14
information
wasn't
available.
So
that
is
the
newest
information.
D
N
It
certainly
could
be.
It
would
give
you
a
different
metric
to
look
at
for
the
sake
of
the
current
rainfall
information
and
then
projects
a
size.
Two
that
newer
standard
organic
are
going
to
be
larger
projects
going
from
non
Atlas
14-day
Atlas
fourteen
we've
seen
costs
anywhere
from
twenty
to
thirty
percent
higher
for
those
particular
projects.
N
D
N
R
H
S
H
So
what
are
you
saying?
Is
you
have
another
Harvey
or
rebelde
event?
So
everyone,
let's
get
it
out
there,
you
cannot
you
can
you
can
build
infrastructure
to
accommodate
taking
that
amount
of
water
from
those
storms
again,
those
were
two
storms
from
top
ten
and
with
different
reasons.
They
started
measuring
these
rainfall
events,
so
just
no
dv6
city
of
Beaumont
is
not
going
to
build
out
our
infrastructure
moving
forward
to
take
that
amount
of
water.
You.
H
H
A
The
277
million
is
built
on
the
14,
it's
based
on
the
14,
those
18
projects,
and
these
aren't
designed
they're,
not
funded,
so
I
think
I
mean
we
need
to.
Let
people
know
that
by
September
we're
not
gonna
be
to
have
these
done.
I
mean
I
just
want
to
be
honest,
because
I
mean
we
were
talking
about
a
lot
of
money
and
we'll
have
to
prioritize
but
they're,
not
even
designed
yet.
H
P
P
N
P
N
N
N
R
R
Depends
on
the
watershed
area,
the
larger
the
watershed
area,
the
less
coverage
you're
gonna
have
on
it.
Instead
of
a
hundred
percent,
you
may
have
less
our
watershed
area
and
in
Baumer,
that's
not
very
large,
so
the
possibility
of
having
hundred
percent
coverage
very
likely.
So
that's
why
we
took
this
approach
to
cover
100
percent.
R
Okay,
like,
for
example,
watershed
embalm,
our
area
is
divided
into
three
areas.
You
have
the
Pine
Island
by
you
drain
tour
panel
by
you.
You
have
another
watershed:
rain
toward
the
Neches
River
and
the
largest
is
over
here
Empire,
which
is
almost
55
percent
of
the
city,
so
small
percentage
goes.
The
Neches
River
around
10
percent
and
50
fight
or
55
percent
of
the
city
got
towards
the
help
run
by
you
and
the
rest
of
it
go
to
a
panel
and
bio
and
the
lower
parts
of
the
nature's.
P
R
The
rest
of
it
goes
down
toward
region,
3
and
probably
half
of
the
yellow
area
go
through
the
river
rest
of
it
goes
back
to
region
3.
The
region.
3
is
a
large
area.
It
goes
to
her
brain
body
and
the
level
of
service
of
her
brand
bias.
25
years
25
27
year
anything
about
27
year.
It's
the
whole
brand
bio
will
reach
capacity
correct.
R
P
R
R
I
R
Of
the
agreement
we
have
with
LAN
is
to
look
at
certain
areas.
Hellbrunn
value
is
at
capacity
the
only
way
you
can
help
this
area.
You
cannot
deep
in
the
urban
barrio.
You
cannot
avoid
in
it.
There
is
restrictive
right
away.
The
easiest
way
to
do
it
is
take
it
to
the
nature,
server
and
so
divergent
is
another
way
to
handle
the
situation
project
like
this
you're,
looking
at
close
to
75
to
100
million
dollar
each
project.
Calder
is
example,
cost
66
million
dollar.
This
was
15
years
ago.
R
Now
this
project
is
15
years
later,
the
price
construction
cost
labor
cost
material
costs
went
up.
So
it's
going
to
be
probably
around
100
million
dollars
each
project
we
applying
for
grants
and
we're
looking
at
either,
possibly
one
or
two
diversion
they
studying
the
earth,
see
where
best
to
intercept
heaven
by
you
and
divert
some
of
the
water
through
the
Neches
River.
A
E
You
this
is
for
land
and
it
follows
up
on
what
dr.
ma
Jelani
just
said.
We
have
been
looking
at
ways
to
try
to
get
more
water
to
the
Neches
River
for
a
while
down
and
we
recognize
what
a
success
the
caller
project
was
in
moving
large
volume
of
water
to
the
Neches
River.
Even
in
recent
heavy
rain
storm
events
called
it
remains
passable
and
you
can
get
from
downtown
to
the
West
End
along
that
road.
E
None
of
these
projects
that
I
looked
at
maybe
I
missed.
It
really
suggest
a
super
project
like
the
Calder
project.
Do
they,
where
you
would
take
I
mean
it'd,
be
a
huge
project
but,
for
instance,
if
you
were
to
take
a
street
that
goes
pretty
much
the
East
width
length
of
the
city
such
as
Delaware,
or
something
like
that,
and
to
do
a
project
similar
to
Calder,
where
you
put
in
these
big
seven
by
seven
concrete
boxes,
you
can.
How
would
that
help
with
our
flooding
situation
or
you
could
that
be
done?.
N
Depending
on
where
you
would
certainly
improve
that
some
of
these
recommended
projects,
do
you
have
some
fairly
large
storm
sewer
systems
on
the
scale
of
Calder
they're,
maybe
not
as
straight
or
as
immediate,
to
divert
water
between
watersheds.
But
there
are
some
of
these.
These
projects
that
are
quite
large
with
that
similar
diversion
in
mind
did.
E
N
E
Okay
right,
okay,
so
with
all
the
criteria,
these
are
the
proposed
project
rankings,
one
two
and
three
and
I
looked
at
these
and,
as
you
can
see,
there's
one
in
the
in
each
section
for
the
top
three
projects
and
those
three
projects
were
ranked
based
on
a
cost-benefit
basis
and
other
factors
as
to
which
would
basically
give
us
the
most
bang
for
our
buck
right.
Okay,
so
those
top
three
projects,
if
I
add
it
correctly,
are.
E
Okay,
well,
let's,
let's
assume
that
I
can
add
that,
and
you
know
the
whole.
All
of
these
together
is
two
hundred
seventy
million
dollars,
which
you
know
they
say
how
do
you
eat
an
elephant
one
bite
at
a
time,
but
you
know
if
we're
going
to
start
trying
to
do
something
and
use
your
criteria,
the
proposed
project
ranking.
It
would
seem
to
me
that
the
first
three
projects
would
be
where
we
would
start.
It
does
provide
relief
to
all
three
all
areas
of
the
city,
all
quadrants
and
I.
E
E
Eighty
six
is
participating
in
this
study
with
us
and
I'm,
hoping
that,
when
it
starts
coming
to
things
like
detention,
ponds
and
dd6
is
historically
would
have
been
the
one
that
takes
the
lead
on
something
like
that
that
we
can
collaborate
with
dd6
and
and
partner
with
them,
so
that
we
can
make
this
more
financially
manageable
for
both
entities.
Of
course,
a
city
of
Beaumont
in
71
cents
of
hundred
dollars.
Evaluation
right
now
is
is
what
you
spend
to
the
city
of
Beaumont,
and
that
not
only
includes
drainage.
It
includes
police
fire,
libraries
parks,
everything.
E
Streets,
you
know,
you
know
dd6
22
cents
of
every
valuation
that
goes
to
dd6,
and
you
know
there.
Their
focus
is
drainage,
so
Joe
I'm,
inviting
you
in
fact,
I-
might
even
suggest,
having
a
joint
meeting
with
the
council
in
your
board,
to
talk
about
some
of
these
projects
and
try
to
figure
out
how
we
can
go
forward
on
some
of
these
projects
to.
R
Bring
you
up
to
speed
we
applied
for
several
grants.
We
already
have
a
tin
in
the
pipeline
and
six
out
of
the
eight
grant
we
have
are
in
inside
city
Obama,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
project
inside
the
city.
One
thing
I
want
to
caution
you,
the
price
in
right
here:
22
plus
million
dollar,
based
on
thirteen
point,
eight
inches.
Fourteen
point:
eight
inches.
If
you
go
back
and
rerun
the
numbers,
all
these
storm
sewers
and
attention
capacity
has
to
be
increased,
so
the
22
may
increase
by
addition,
maybe
twenty
twenty-five
percent.
R
So
these
six,
like
I,
said
we
have
another
consultant,
also
looking
at
looking
at,
hopefully
getting
grant
for
a
project
to
look
at
Pine
Island
by
utils
by
you
and
Hepburn
by
you.
There's
some
interaction
whenever
you
have
heavy
rains,
the
cross
boundaries
and
a
lot
of
project
in
the
pipeline,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
project
we've
seen
start
construction
on
it.
So
you're
gonna
see
a
lot
of
activities.
So
we
excited
about
all
these
projects
and
we
have
met
with
the
public
works
director
a
few
times.
A
Page
absolutely
so,
as
far
as
you
know,
what
we
were
talking
about
here,
I
just
want
to
go
back
because
I
was
listening
to
what
councilman
samuel
was
saying.
The
this
ranking
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
is
based
on,
because
I
thought
he
said
cost-benefit
and
you
said
no,
but
it
is
a
cost-benefit
right.
A
N
Q
Someone
guess
what,
while
Matt
and
Joe
are
both
up
here.
It's
unusual,
the
relationship
that
the
city
and
dd6
have
it's.
Certainly
in
a
study
and
a
master-planned
study.
We
don't
necessarily
say
it's
going
to
always
be
that
way,
but
as
of
right
now,
unless
I'm
incorrect
dd6
would
do
most
of
the
detention
on
these
projects,
so
I
think
that's
a
real
plus
and
it's
something
that
maybe
needs
to
be
stated
that
it's
it's
it's
unusual,
the
quality
of
relationship
you.
E
E
But
if
we
were
to
go
through
with
the
first
three
projects
as
as
the
first
projects,
it
would
be
important
to
have
a
breakdown,
obviously
as
to
how
much
the
city's
going
to
actually
have
to
pay
and
how
much
dd6
would
be
willing
to
contribute,
because
without
knowing
that
we,
we
really
don't
know
how
much
money
we
need
to
either
raise
in
the
form
of
a
tax
increase
or
if
we
need
to
put
it
out
for
some
sort
of
a
bonding.
We
need
to
know
that.
H
You
know
on
that
our
staff
has
been
meeting
with
dd6
on
a
regular
basis
and
there's
two
things:
two
things
you
need
to
know
at
this
time,
one
after
Harvey
federal
government
appropriated
money
about
2.1
billion
dollars.
State
of
Texas
has
for
about
I,
think
it's
46
47
counties,
but
so
the
city
of
Beaumont
can
submit
applications
for
funding,
I
think
between
three
million
up
to
a
hundred
million.
That's
what
we're
being
told
you
can
submit
three
projects.
We
can
submit
three
projects
by
ourselves.
H
What
projects
would
you
want
to
move
forward
with
and
the
key
questions?
How
do
you
pay
for
it?
You
go
that
route
I'm
still
working
on
what
the
percentage
is.
The
matches
might
be
and
there's
some
formulas
where
there's
grant
money
and
also
you
can
get
a
loan
I
mean
it's
a
and
all
been
stipulated.
Yet
we're
still
waiting
there's
some
of
you,
some
of
the
details.
So
if
you
look
at
that
you're,
that's
that's
it!
That's
a
number
of
years.
It's
gonna
take
to
work
through
that
process.
H
Okay
and
then
over
here
you
could
borrow.
You
could
issue
debt
certificates
of
obligations.
What
we
normally
do,
you
can
issue
debt
that
just
competes,
as
you
know,
with
the
street
rehab
program,
any
Street
projects
you
may
want
to
do
what
drainage
projects
do
you
want
to
do?
Similarly,
you
know
we're
gonna
get
to
it
here
in
the
budget
process
here
in
the
next
30
60
days.
H
Do
you
have
potential
tax
increases
before
you
to
pay
for
our
labor
agreement
with
the
police
department?
Three
and
a
half
percent
do
October
the
1st
just
a
lot.
Even
what
I
would
do
is
wait
and
see
what
we
come
back
with
and
I
know
you're
not
ready
to
dig
but
don't
commit
to
anything
right
now,
because
any
potential
tax
increase
on
the
operating
side
of
our
budget
and
then
issuing
debt.
It
all
goes
together
right.
You
know.
If
you
increase
taxes,
your
tax
rate
is
71
cents.
So
just
let's
just
wait.
H
On
these
projects,
there's
a
lot
more
to
do
and
we'll
be
able
to
come
back
at
a
future
date,
and
they
can.
You
know
in
greater
detail.
You
ought
to
know
what
are
the
projects
they
submitted
for
and
then,
if
we're
gonna
work
together,
which
we
are
you
don't
want
to
take
more
money
to
Hillebrand
right
now,
I
mean
take
more
projects
or
water.
I
should
say
you
don't
want
to
take
more
water
to
Hildebrandt,
necessarily
until
they
make
some
changes.
H
H
E
Hayes,
you
said
that
there
is
applications
for
funding
available
three
for
the
city
by
itself
and
three
for
the
city
with
a
partner,
so
there's
a
total
of
six
available.
E
H
What
we're
working
through,
we
working
with
a
group
called
Public
Management.
That's
helped
us
before
and
they're
trying
to
determine
what
the
who,
what
when,
where
why
is
and
what
the
exact
percentages
may
be,
and
again
that's
of
why,
when
you
can
apply
for
it
three
million
up
to
a
hundred
million,
you
know
what
are
the
stipulations?
What
are
the
you
know?
What
are
the
match
requirements
we're
trying
to
determine
what
all
of
those
answers
are
we
really
don't
know
at
this
point,
the.
J
H
A
H
E
Know
this,
this
is
great
news
and
I
want
to
compliment
land
and
mr.
chica
all
your
partners
that
work
so
hard
on
this
and
I
know
government
moves
slowly
at
time
it
just
it
just
does,
but
the
very
worst
thing
that
we
could
do
is
to
have
spent
1.9
million
dollars
on
this
study
and
then
let
it
sit
there
and
not
do
anything
with
it
and
I
know
we're
not
planning
to
do
that.
E
But
I
do
encourage
us
to
have
regular
updates
frequent
updates
to
let
not
just
us
know,
but
to
let
the
citizens
know
what
their
money
has
paid
for
and
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
with
it.
The
other
thing
I'd
like
to
see
us
do
is
make
this
study
available
online,
along
with
the
exhibits
so
that
the
citizens
can
look
at
it
themselves.
I've
already
had
people
wanting
to
see
this,
and
is
that
possible
that
we
can
do
that
we'll.
H
Do
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
council
and
previous
councils
for
approving
this
for
trusting
staff
to
make
the
recommendation
we
did
with
LAN
and
chica.
As
you
can
see,
they
know
what
they're
talking
about
very
fortunate,
that
we
utilize
them
and
we
know
we
can
work
with
them
in
the
future.
It's
been
a
great
relationship
and
it's
gonna
continue
in
with
dd6.
We
we're
going
to
make
progress.
H
Just
don't
want
the
public
to
think
it's
gonna
happen
overnight,
because
it
will
not,
and
in
best
case
scenarios
it
will
take
years
to
get
that
funding
probably
approved
by
the
time
you
get
it
approved,
and
then
you
can
start
designing
a
project.
A
project
takes
depending
on
the
scope,
a
project
just
to
design.
It
will
take
eight
months
to
two
years
at
least
that's
just
the
way
it
works.
Q
A
A
H
H
Not
like
we're
starting
from
scratch
here.
This
is
just
something
new
that
we,
through
these
six
is
made
menace
improvements
over
the
last
10-15
years.
The
city
of
Beaumont
has
as
well
just
throw
out
the
Calder
project
again
60
plus
million
dollar
project,
we're
we're
doing
ongoing
improvements
all
the
time.
That's
small
stuff,
dd6
doing
much
larger
projects
because
that's
their
that's
what
they
do
every
day,
100%
of
their
their
job.
So
they
ought
to
speak
to
what
they've
done.
In
the
last
three
years,
I
mean
they've.
A
H
You
have
those
two
storms
and
not
making
excuses.
It
is
what
it
is.
They've
been
tracking
this
stuff
for
about
a
hundred
years,
so
two
of
the
wettest
storms
on
record
Harvey
and
Imelda.
Okay,
so
we
know
it
happens.
It
could
happen
again
this
year.
It
could
happen
next
year,
so
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
that.
At
the
same
time,
you
cannot
correct
those
ring
those
those
sizeable
rainfall
events.
H
You
know
if
they
were
happen
again
tomorrow,
we're
not
gonna
be
able
to
do
the
best
we
can
but
we're
if
we
never
built
out
our
our
infrastructure
and
our
forefathers
and
going
back
it
just
you
can't
take
that
much
water,
so
I
don't
want
the
public
to
think
it's
gonna
be
a
quick
fix.
It
will
not
we're
gonna
do
the
best
we
can
and
pay
for
the
projects
that
we
can
and
continue
to
make
incremental
progress.
E
E
J
A
N
R
What
he's
working
on
I
have
I'd
like
to
answer.
Mr.
Getz
request,
you
requested
participation
from
DC
six
on
some
of
the
project
over
the
years
we
had
great
relationship
between
the
city
and
86,
and
these
six
built
up
quite
a
few
impressive
projects
right
here.
Our
operating
budget
is
somewhere
between
twenty
one,
twenty
two
million
dollars
a
year
and
it
covered
a
large
area,
55%
of
Jefferson
County
and
Nome
and
China
and
Senate
area
and
Northwest
Forest
and
City
bomber.
It's
only
one-fifth
one-sixth
of
our
coverage
area.
Twenty-Two
million
dollar
doesn't
go
too
far.
R
What
drive
our
capital
program
is
great,
the
more
grants
we
have
the
more
projects
we
have
like
I
said
we
have
several
projects.
The
city
can
apply
for
three.
We
can
apply
for
three
jointly.
We
can
apply
for
three,
so
a
lot
of
project.
All
these
HAP
project
has
to
compete
against
some
other
project,
they're
not
going
to
just
give
it
to
you.
So
we
hired
the
best
engineers,
one
of
the
reason
we
hired
LAN.
We
don't
want
to
reinvent
the
wheel.
We
can
use
them,
they
decide
the
master
drainage
plan.
R
R
L
H
L
L
Never
forget
my
little
brother
when
Robert
running
in
he
couldn't
figure
out.
Why
that
it
was
raining
and
the
Sun
was
still
shining
at
the
same,
and
but
he
was
six
years
old.
But
that's
as
our
friends,
Patrick
Vaughn
and
Greg
Bostwick
and
those
guys
tell
us
when
it
was
pouring
down
and
one
part
of
Beaumont.
It
wasn't
even
raining
in
the
south
end
I
mean
that's
just
that's
just
how
it
is.
But
the
great
thing
is:
is
we
have
this
information
and
can
move
forward
on
it?
L
We
didn't
wait
till
after
Imelda
and
after
Harvey
to
go
well.
You
know,
we
probably
all
take
a
look
at
this,
but
we
want
everybody
to
keep
in
mind
that
when
we're
talking
about
tens
of
millions
of
dollars,
sometimes
hundreds
and
you're
talking
about
the
government
and
how
they
may
work
with
us,
it
takes
a
long
time
for
them
to
lay
out
all
the
rules
on
how
we're
going
to
do
it
and
where
we're
going
to
do
it
and
when
you
guys
were
doing
your
projections.
As
mr.
L
Ford
said,
most
cities
don't
have
the
kind
of
relationship
that
we
have
with
dd6,
so
they
don't
factor
in
Oh.
Your
drainage
district
will
probably
pick
up
some
of
this.
They
just
assume
here's.
Here's
the
numbers,
we're
gonna,
leave
it
up
to
you
guys
to
work
it
out,
because
most
of
them
don't
have
the
kind
of
relationship
that
we
have
and
I
appreciate,
Russ
forward,
pointing
that
out,
because
it
is
unique,
otherwise,
they'd
be
factoring
in
to
every
one
of
their
projects.
L
Go
I,
know
you,
drainage,
districts,
gonna,
take
care
of
you
and
then
they
find
that
they
don't
in
our
case
they
do,
and
so
we're
really
fortunate
there.
But
I
think
that
the
information
that
we've
gotten
is
really
something
that's
going
to
pay
dividends
for
us
in
the
long
haul.
It's
not
going
to
quit
raining
in
Beaumont
a
hundred
years
from
now.
L
But
we
appreciate
the
great
job
that
you've
done
and
I
know
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
take
this
information
and
utilize
it
for
our
citizens,
but
as
as
Kyle
said
and
dr.
mozzie
Lonnie,
it
takes
a
while
for
all
of
this
stuff
to
come
together
and
just
be
patient
with
us.
It's
not
that
we
don't
want
it
to
move
faster.
L
Twelve
years
ago
we
had
hurricane
I
and
we
just
wrapped
that
up.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
plan
ahead.
The
prior
planning
prevents
poor
performance.
I
saw
that
somewhere
and
but
again
this
is
a.
This
is
a
great
found
date.
You
got
to
know
where
you
are
before
you
can
plot
out
a
program,
and
this
certainly
tells
us
where
we
are
and
what
we
need
to
do
and
what
we
can
do
and
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
You.
P
You
man,
mr.
manager,
from
when
I
correct
me
if
I'm
incorrect,
just
because
we're
talking
about
the
projects
in
this
study
and
moving
forward
with
them
we're
talking
about
it's
gonna,
take
some
time.
That
does
not
mean
that
we
don't
have
projects
going.
That
would
impact
particular
areas
that
we're
experiencing
problems
now.
Is
that
correct
or
incorrect
we're.
H
H
Relates
to
what
you
alluded
to
these
projects
identified
on
the
screen,
those
are
gonna.
Take
those
we're
gonna
take
a
lot
of
time.
So
it's
good
it's
good,
but
to
come
back
to
you
at
some
point
and
ask
you
which
ones
you
want
us
to
make
application
for
for
funding
or
do
you
want
us
to
go
our
own,
go
on
our
own
and
borrow
money
safely,
certificates
of
obligation,
which
is
what
y'all
do
every
two
or
three
years
when
we
issue
debt
for
Street
projects,
drainage
projects,
general
improvements,
so
you
have
those
two
options.
She.
P
P
That
does
not
mean
we're
not
doing
ongoing
maintenance
to
the
existing
plans
or
to
the
existing
system
to
increase
its
capacity
in
those
systems.
Is
that
correct,
that's
correct,
so
we
are
doing
ongoing
work
to
increase
capacity
to
get
water
out
to
the
various
watersheds.
Yes,
okay,
just
want
to
make
sure
that
was
clear,
because
there
are
some
people
that
are
experiencing
unique
problems
in
certain
areas
and
we're
already
addressing
them,
but
these
new
projects
could
give
further
relief
to
those
areas
that
specify
on
the
graphs.
Yes,
sir,.
I
N
J
N
Well,
the
repetitive
loss
information
help
guided
the
projects
so
that
guided
where
the
projects
were
located,
so
they
were,
they
were
guided
that
way.
The
gauge
analysis:
it's
not
something
that's
been
undertaken
for
identified
particular
hot
spots,
but
typically
design
is
more
uniform,
rather
than
looking
at
a
singular
hot
spot
within
a
city
Thank.
Q
D
A
couple
of
things
that
I
would
like
dr.
Madani
to
help
explain
for
us
is
kind
of
the
difference
or
where
dd6
picks
up
versus
the
City
of
Omaha,
because
there's
a
lot
of
areas
in
Beaumont
that
we're
seeing
flooding
that's
just
simply
because
the
dd6
ditches
can't
keep
up
and,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
the
citizens
understand
where
that,
where
that
line
is
in
different
parts
of
town,
so
that
everybody
has
a
better
understanding
of
that.
If
you
don't
mind
dr.
R
Helburn,
bio
and
Taylor's
bio:
these
are
the
largest
conveyors.
We
inherited
this
from
the
core
engineers
they
built
him
way
back
then,
and
turn
them
over
to
36.
To
maintain,
there
are
large
dishes
to
all
the
close
fives
in
the
city
is
in
maintaining
the
city,
boma
small
ditches
up
to
four
feet,
or
so
is
maintained
by
the
city
we
take
over
the
large
infrastructure,
mainly
to
answer
your
question.
We
still
well.
We
had
six
inches
an
hour
and
a
half
the
other
day.
Our
dishes
still
have
capacity
in
them.
R
The
water
could
not
get
fast
enough
to
our
ditches.
We
had
probably
food
to
defeat
extra
capacity.
The
design
criteria
the
city
over
the
years
has
changed.
If
you
look
at
catch
basin,
some
of
the
street,
they
don't
have
any
calculation.
Mr.
Hayslip
history
does
not
have
any
cash
basis.
The
water
flow
from
North
circuit
all
the
way
to
South
circuit
no
catch
basins.
R
The
new
design
criteria
of
the
cities
is
considering
is
shrinking.
This
the
spacings.
You
have
more
catch
basins
that
can
intercept
the
water
in
the
street
and
move
it
into
the
parts
from
the
part
of
the
large
ditches.
So
the
city
is
always
looking
at
modifying
their
system.
We
have
capacity,
the
water
need
to
get
into
our
system
if
it
can't
get
to
our
system
so
again,
six
inches
in
hour
and
half
this
is
uncalled
for.
This
is
a
100-year
event
for
hour
and
a
half.
R
So
this
is
a
lot
of
water
in
short
period
of
time.
There's
no.
These
I
can
handle
it
again.
I
want
to
make
sure
people
understand
that
the
streets,
part
of
the
drainage
system,
your
pipes
and
your
catch
basins
can
carry
up
to
10%
of
the
rain
event.
The
remainder
of
the
rain
event,
the
hundred-year
rain
event
it
has
to
be
carried
within
the
street.
You
cannot
feasibly
desire,
feasibly.
These
are
large
enough
system
to
carry
hundred-year
in
a
pipe.
R
R
A
E
J
E
R
The
exact
right
here
is
five,
ten
years
in
the
pipe.
The
curb
fifty

all
the
way
to
the
right

is
your
100

you
can
carry
water
up
to

City

Streets
I
can
talk
on
the
g6
and
I.
Let
the
staff
right.
He
thought
about
the
city
Katya.
Yes,
it
could
wondering
if
it's
open
ditches
is
not
going
to
affect
it
too
much.
If
it's
curved
I
gather
it
might
affect
it.
But
what.
R
T
H
It's
not
designed
for
bicycles
of
that
roadway
right,
it's
not
so,
but
you
did
have
that
gutter
line.
That's
to
help
move
water
I
mean
that's
the
purpose.
I
mean
you
have
a
big
rain
event.
It's
gonna
get
into
the
lane
of
traffic,
but
that's
why
you
have
that
gutter
lines,
so
Jose,
correct,
I
mean
and
you're
correct
to
some.
Some
roadways
are
definitely.
You
know.
J
E
Way
and
I'm
not
throwing
stones
I'm,
really
not
in
not
right
here,
I'm,
not
anyway,
what
I?
What
I'm?
What
I
am
saying
is
that
we
all
know
that
it
costs
less
money
to
do
an
asphalt
overlay
than
to
dig
everything
out
and
start
from
from
where
everything
was
originally
and
I.
Think
we
need
to
be
mindful
when
we
do
that
of
how
it
could
impact
the
ability
of
the
street
to
convey
water
is
part
of
our
flood
program.
We.
H
J
E
H
We
do
both.
There
may
be
some
things
you're,
not
aware
of,
for
example,
staff
staffs
been
out
with
you
at
least,
ask
councilman
Neal.
Lately
staff
been
out
with
councillor
Mouton.
Let's
take
big,
you
know,
blossom
drive
the
ditch.
The
railroad
is
right.
Next
to
your
house,
our
staffs
working
with
I
think
it's
be
NSA.
To
I
mean
the
work
we
would
do
with
increase
capacity
to
help
move
the
water-
the
that's
just
one
example
councilman
Neal's
familiar.
H
B
H
E
You
know
I
bailed
out
a
little
past
Cotter
when
the
pipes
start
getting
it's
pretty
claustrophobic,
but
anyway,
they're,
clear
and-
and
so
you
know,
there's
not
a
lot
of
obstruction
in
there
and
thank
you
for
letting
us
do
that
and
providing
a
chase
man
to
help
us
with
that.
I
want
to
circle
back
to
the
three
projects
that
I
had
asked
you
about
and
if
you
could
put
them
back
on
the
screen.
Those
three
could
you
give
us
just
a
mile
high
view
overview
of
what
those
three
projects
would
be.
N
The
projects
to
be
in
3a,
our
accommodation,
detention
basin
and
some
minor
were
relatively
minor
storm
sewer
improvements
relative
to
the
others.
3A,
given
its
location
in
Hildebrandt,
is
somewhat
isolated.
I'll
say
for
me
what
we'd
call
a
free
out
fall,
so
we
don't
want
to
send
the
problem
in
that
part
of
Hildebrandt
somewhere
else.
So
3a
is
looking
at
temporarily
detaining
some
of
that
water
on
site
during
the
peak
of
an
event
provide
some
benefit
to
be
is
similar.
It.
J
E
N
N
Is
a
very
similar
type
improvement
with
detention
and
some
some
conveyance
to
help
fill
some
of
that
detention.
There's
a
bunt
several
smaller
storm
sewer
systems
in
that
area
that
rely
on
a
channel
to
drain,
and
so
that
detention
basins
would
provide
some
relief
to
the
channels
and
then
the
channel
would
be
slightly
lower,
so
the
storm
sewer
assistance
could
operate
in
a
better
fashion.
N
E
N
Wasn't
one
he
yeah
one
II
is
a
little
bit
of
a
combination
project.
There
is
an
existing
dd6
detention
basin
that
has
some
undeveloped
property
adjacent
to
it.
That
could
be
expanded
and
in
addition
to
that,
there
is
some
proposed
trunk
line,
storm
sewer
system
improvements,
so
that
would
provide
some
conveyance
to
that
pond
and
also
interconnect
with
some
of
the
other
storm
sewer
systems
along
its
alignment,
so
that
one's
a
bit
of
a
combination,
project.
E
Thank
you
and
again,
we
would
hope
that
dd6
would
participate
in
some
of
these,
and
you
know
mr.
manager,
you
said
you're
gonna
have
to
come
back
at
some
point.
What
kind
of
timetable
are
you
thinking
of
to
get
guidance
from
Council
as
to
how
we
would
like
to
proceed
and
finance
this,
whether
it
be
through
some
sort
of
a
application
for
funding
or
through
something
that
we
fund
ourselves?
How
what's
your
timetable,
my.
H
U
H
E
H
Together
and
when
I
said
earlier,
we
don't
know
I,
don't
have
all
the
answers,
I
mean
you,
don't
every
pot
of
money,
you
go
after
some.
As
you
know,
we've
told
you
that,
for
example,
like
on
the
pump
station
was
a
little
different
from
remember
the
line.
The
transmission
line
from
the
pump
station
to
the
plant.
That
pot
of
money
said
you
cannot
expend
any
money,
cannot
start
design
without.
Q
H
K
N
The
DD
6
projects
were
incorporated,
previous
ones
that
have
been
done,
or
once
they
were
nearing
completion.
They
were
incorporated
and
included
in
terms
of
the
existing
conditions,
so
they
weren't
being
double
counted
or
anything
like
that.
So
had
those
not
been
accounted
for,
it
certainly
would
have
influenced
where
those
projects
were
located.
Thank
you.
A
A
N
D
H
E
H
Know
you've
been
as
impressed
with
them,
as
we
have
over
the
last
five
years
and
just
know
you've
hired
them
also
on
the
sewer
study
and
that
first
phase
has
been
completed
so
we're
looking
at
entering
into
that.
You
know
contract
the
second
phase
and
we're
gonna
bring
that
to
you
as
well
have
a
work
session.
This
gentleman
sitting
right
here
we'll
leave
that
work
session.
So
again,
you
all
approved
a
lot
of
good
stuff
that
we
keep
telling
the
public
we've
put
it
on.
H
J
H
A
J
S
Afternoon,
the
purpose
of
this
work
session
is
to
review
and
discuss
amendments
to
the
2019
CDBG
action
plan
and
the
purpose
behind
that
is
in
response
to
covent
19
pandemic.
You
may
be
aware
the
city
was
allocated
a
direct
allocation
of
eight
hundred
and
one
thousand
dollars
in
supplemental
CDBG,
CV
or
Kovan
funding.
As
a
result
of
the
cares,
Act
recipients
were
urged
to
use
the
funding
for
emergency
response,
which
would
include
establishments
of
medical
facilities,
clinics,
public
testing,
etc.
S
As
we've
moved
through
the
regulations
of
this
allocation,
it's
become
clear
to
us
that
we
do
not
need,
at
least
at
this
time
the
funding
to
be
used
for
medical
testing
or
medical
facilities,
and
so
we
are
proposing
to
use
the
funding
for
response
to
the
economic
impact
of
the
pandemic.
To
that
end,
you
may
also
be
aware
there
are
other
pots
of
money.
S
Other
sources
of
funding,
some
of
those
through
Texas
Department
of
Emergency,
Management,
TDM,
Texas,
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Affairs,
TD
HCA,
as
well
as
the
Regional
Planning
Commission
they're,
also
looking
at
different
pots
of
funding
for
similar
similar
programs.
But
this
direct
allocation
of
eight
hundred
and
one
thousand
dollars
is
CDBG,
which
is
what
we
handle
every
year
and
it
does
have
the
most
discretion
and
the
greatest
control
for
the
city.
So
again,
we
are
proposing
to
use
the
funding
in
the
following
way
and
again
in
discussion
with
HUD.
S
S
We
did
this
back
after
the
2008
financial
collapse
when
we
did
a
program
called
the
HPRP
homeless
prevention,
rapid
rehousing
program,
and
what
this
does
is.
It
allows
these
nonprofits
to
use
the
funding
to
reimburse
families
for
up
to
three
months
of
utility
and
rental
assistance
and
again
the
idea
is
to
if
these
families
are
at
risk
of
being
becoming
homeless
because
of
the
pandemic,
they
can
hopefully
tap
into
these
utility
and
rental
assistance
payments.
S
It's
particularly
it's
important,
though,
to
point
out
that
we
estimate
that
you
know,
with
the
amount
of
the
cost
of
rent
and
utilities,
these
days
at
five
hundred
to
a
thousand
thousand
dollars
a
month,
we
may
we
may
be
able
to
help
up
to
five
hundred
households.
It's
also
important
to
understand
that
there
is
an
income
test.
S
S
And
so
again
that
would
be
largest
proposed
use
of
the
funding.
The
second
proposed
use
of
funding
would
be
allocation
of
the
one
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
to
local
food
shelters
and
again
the
idea
would
be
to
distribute
food
to
local
families,
as
well
as
the
administrative
costs
of
doing
that,
and
then.
Finally,
we
are
also
recommending
to
amend
the
2019
budget
to
not
change
the
numbers
in
the
the
public
facility
and
improvement
line-item,
but
to
specify
that
of
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
that
line.
S
Item
that
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
that
be
dedicated
to
repair,
an
enhancement
of
our
local
of
two
of
our
local
homeless
facilities.
You
may
recall
that
we
had
we
had
budgeted
this
fund
these
funds
to
include
the
sewer
line
replacement
program
by
our
efforts
to
market
that
program.
It's
been
a
little
bit
slow
in
terms
of
response.
We
have.
We
have
done
analysis
of
several
applications,
but
in
many
cases
they
may
be
renters,
and
so
they
haven't
been
eligible.
S
So
we're
still
working
that
program
and
we're
looking
at
other
options
where,
instead
of
it
being
a
response
based
program,
we're
gonna
look
at
maybe
targeted
areas
where
we
know
there
are
excessive
numbers
of
sewer
line
issues
in
a
certain
area.
So
we're
looking
at
maybe
retooling
that
program
in
the
near
future.
S
But
in
order
to
provide
a
more
immediate
response
for
the
Kovan
pandemic,
we
wanted
to
allocate
a
request
allocation
of
400,000
of
that
$500,000
to
again
repair
and
enhancements
of
homeless
facilities
within
the
city
we
have
reached
out
to
two
of
our
partners
and
the
response:
we've
got.
It's
been
positive,
Henri's
place.
What
they're
requesting
is
repair
foundation,
upgrade
of
electrical
systems,
upgraded
their
kitchen
facility,
repair
of
siding
and
painting,
and
some
floor
repairs
and
they're,
estimating
that
those
improvements
would
be
two
hundred
and
sixty-six
thousand
and
then
Salvation
Army
we've
reached
out
to
them.
S
They've
got
a
facility
at
1078
McFadden
that
has
been
essentially
vacant
for
many
years,
and
so
what
they're
looking
at
doing
is
trying
to
reactivate
that
facility.
But
to
do
that
they
are
looking
at
doing
some
foundation,
repairs,
painting
some
rotten
woods,
exterior,
roof
repairs,
drywall
floors,
interior,
the
building,
official
and
I
walked
those
facilities.
I
think
councilman
Getz
has
walked
those
facilities
and
so
they're,
not
in
that
bad
of
shape
that
the
estimates
we're
getting.
S
Is
it's
going
to
be
about
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
get
that
get
that
facility
back
activated,
so
we
are
recommending
again
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
that
five
hundred
thousand
public
facility
line
items
be
allocated
to
shelter,
repair
and
enhancement
begin
with
that.
Are
there
any
questions
about
the
proposals?
The.
E
That
facility,
McFadden
I,
have
been
very
involved
in
that
and
SAS
has
councilmember
pate
and
that
used
to
be
for
the
benefit
of
the
public,
a
homeless,
shelter
that
was
last
used
in
that
capacity
in
2004
it
was
shut
down
for
lack
of
funding,
continued
to
be
owned
by
the
Salvation
Army.
It
was
held
by
the
Salvation
I
mean
it's
basically
been
in
mothballs
ever
since
then,
it's
its
preservation,
amazingly
well,
considering
that
it's
just
been
stored.
E
E
You
know
some
TLC
and
some
money,
but
it
made
operational
very
very
quickly.
They
are
right
there
catty-corner
to
some
other
place.
The
Salvation
Army
wants
to
close
their
current
shelter
for
homeless
and
they
want
to
make
that
into
a
poison,
Children's,
Center
and
boys,
boys
club
and
girls
club,
and
they
want
to
shift
their
homeless
shelter
to
this
location
I'm.
E
S
It
it
could
be
again
we
reached
out
to
them
and
asked
them.
You
know
what
do
y'all
need
and
that's
the
response
we
got.
Obviously,
its
266
and
200
is
more
than
400,
but
the
higher
number
was
at
Henry's
place.
So
that's
the
response
we
got
there.
We
do
expect
in
the
near
future
to
come
back
to
you
with
some
possible
additional
reallocations.
We
have
some
some
funds
that
were
prior
years
and
HUDs
come
back
and
said
citizens
for
accounting
purposes.
S
They
want
us
to
kind
of
reuse
some
of
these
earlier
funds,
and
so
we
expect
that
that's
going
to
happen,
you
may
recall
the
small
business
revolving
loan
fund.
We
still
expect
some
funding
to
come
back.
So
what
I'm
saying
is
we?
We
do
expect
some
funding
that
we
may
come
back
to
you
in
the
near
future
to
reallocate
which
could
be
used
to
this.
To
your
point,
though,
is
I.
S
But
if
you
know,
if
you're
facing
eviction
or
having
the
lights
turned
out
right
and
so
I
mentioned,
like
the
the
other
programs
that
are
out
there,
you
know
we
had
some
questions
and
I
think
last
week
or
the
week
before
about
maybe
the
Regional
Planning
Commission
have
a
prote
having
a
program,
but
like
all
these
programs,
the
rules
are
different
depending
upon
you
know,
which
agency
is
assigning
em
and
who's
administering
it
and
so
they're
still
trying
to
figure.
You
know
that
program
out.
E
But
you
and
something
that
gives
me
pause
and
concern.
It's
a
reimbursement
program
and
entities
like
some
other
place
and
Salvation
Army
have
been
really
affected
with
their
terrible
donations
over
this
time.
What
if
they
don't
have
the
money
to
loan
out
to
people
for
utility
assistance
right
now?
If
they
can't
start
the
process
on
the
front
end,
it
doesn't
matter
about
reimbursement.
So
what
about
that
situation?
And.
S
They'll
know
that
we'll
know
that
and
they'll
know
that
going
in
the
indication
we've
gotten
is
that
they
are
prepared
to
do
that,
but
again
we'll
have
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
them
that
they're
prepared
to
do
that,
and
I
will
say
that
we've,
like
I,
mentioned
the
HPRP
program
many
years
ago.
So
we've
done
it
before
with
them
and
we
feel,
like
you
know,
we
will
process
the
reimbursements
as
quickly
as
we
can.
So
we
don't
feel
like
it's.
S
S
I
S
I
S
A
S
P
S
By
the
way
the
city
has
this
program,
can
you
please
reach
out
to
them
and
that's
how
it
has
been
working?
Unfortunately,
though,
the
applicants
we've
gotten
have
not
met
the
criteria
because
either
of
income
or
they
may
be
renters
instead
of
homeowners,
and
so
we
are
looking.
We
do
still
have
the
program
up
and
running.
So
if
we
had
a
valid
applicant,
we
can
move
forward
with
that,
but
we're
looking
at
retooling
it
either
changing
the
rules.
S
And/Or,
like
I,
mentioned
trying
to
identify
some
areas
in
low
mod
area
and
in
low
mod
areas,
because
again,
that's
CDBG
funding
but
identify
some
areas
where
you
may
have
several
known
issues
with
sewage
lines,
laterals
that,
instead
of
us
waiting
for
the
call
we
go
out
to
them
and
say:
look
we
know
there's
a
line.
Is
you
know
an
issue
in
three
of
the
five
houses
on
this
block?
We
would
like
to
replace
them
all
at
once.
Of
course,
we'll
get
their
permission
and
all
that.
But
that's
that's
what
we're
looking
at
doing
now.
S
P
Q
P
Are
we
also
I
mean
I
I
do
understand,
but
with
the
cares
Act,
that
is
for
immediate
remedy
for
those
who
have
been
impacted
by
October
19
and
to
prevent
homelessness.
Now
we
are
still
looking
I'm
sure
we're
looking
at
ways
of
addressing
our
homeless
homelessness
in
our
city
always
moving
in.
We
considering
what
we're
going
to
do
in
that
in
that
manner,
because
that
could
be
the
way
that
it
be
done
by
partnering,
with
like
Henry's
place
or
some
other
place
or
salvation
or
mandos
right.
S
So
we
do
we
serve
on
the
continuum
of
care
committee,
which
is
the
Homeless
Coalition
committee.
That's
run
out
of
the
regional
planning.
Commission
I
know
councilman
pay
councilman
gets.
They
have
also
started
a
kind
of
a
separate
committee
which
there's
a
lot
of
overlap,
but
they
all
with
the
idea
of
you,
know
how
to
address
the
homeless
issue.
So
we
we're
actively
working
with
those
partners
to
identify
funding
sources.
K
Some
assuming
that
many
of
the
houses
that
have
problems
talking
about
the
sewer
line-
that's
not
the
city
side,
but
their
side
are
going
to
be
the
older
homes
in
Beaumont.
Yes,
assuming
then
that
many
of
those
will
be
renters,
how
do
we
get
past
the
renter
to
get
to
the
homeowner
to
make
this
program
available
to
them?
Is
there?
How
do
we
get
around
that
issue,
and
can
we.
K
T
S
A
Okay,
so
I
just
want
to
clarify,
because
we're
talking
about
two
different
things
here
and
I
know
that
the
801
thousand
dollars
got
a
lot
of
press
basically
through
the
Care.
Act
cares
Act.
So
the
recommendation
is
the
six
hundred
thousand
on
the
utility
rental
assistance
and
142
the
food
bank,
which
very
much
very
much
in
need
as
well.
A
The
improvements
that
are
being
proposed
to
Henry's
place
in
Salvation
Army
come
out
of
the
CDBG
funding,
which
is
a
separate
funding
source
for
the
four
hundred
thousand,
basically
for
them,
and
then
the
hundred
thousand
will
stay
in
that
that
that
assistance
for
the
people
who
have
problems
on
their
side
when
and
first
I
want
to
thank
Chris
for
going
on.
The
conference
call
with
me
with
several
ministers
in
Beaumont
and
we're
very
interested
in
all
this.
A
So
I
thought
that
I
remembered
you
saying
something
on
that
call
about
the
hundred
thousand
that
councilmember
Sammy
was
talking
about
that.
Has
the
the
pipes
on
the
people
said
how
you're
going
to
promote
it
in
a
different
way
that
really
appealed
to
me.
I
thought
it
was
a
very
good
idea.
Did
you
mention
that
earlier
and
I
just
missed
it
yeah.
A
S
We
are
looking
at
doing
a
little
bit
better
marketing
so
that
we
can
have
that
we
can
keep
that
response
program,
but
also
look
at
areas
that
we
know
have
certain.
Maybe
blocks
a
couple
blocks
right.
So
you
may
have
a
couple
blocks
in
an
in
a
low
mod
area
that
we
know
they're
having
a
lots
of
problems
with
and
we
may
be
able
to
go
through
and
it's
possible.
We
may,
they
may
be
some
rent.
There
may
be
some
renters
in
there
that
we
may
be
able
to
do
the
whole
block.
A
S
Was
a
really
good
idea?
Well,
as
you
know,
you
may
have
five
houses
in
a
block
and
if
three
have
problems
that
may
may
not
necessarily
directly
affect
the
ones
that
aren't,
but
if
there's
a
flood
event
that
water
intrusion
may
back
up
the
common
system,
so
now
they
may
have
a
problem.
So
you
that's
that's
what
we're
looking
at
is
an
area
program
but
keeping
keeping
the
response
program
but
maybe
retooling
it.
A
S
So
the
next
step
is,
if
approved
under
the
action
item
today
after
the
follow
after
the
public
hearing.
What
we
would
do
is
send
this
amendment
to
HUD
in
Houston
and
get
their
approval.
Once
we
have
HUDs
approval,
then
we
do
have
to
enter
into
contracts
with
the
the
nonprofit
partners
and
then
a
lot
of
its
going
to
be
in
discussions
with
them
as
to
their
finances
and
when
it's
their
start
date.
But
the
hope
is
to
you
know,
have
it
start
as
soon
as
possible,
but
hopefully
by
the
end
of
the
month.
A
You
now
would
be
the
time
for
any
citizen
who
would
like
to
speak
in
this
public
hearing
the
time
to
do
so
as
now
as
I
mentioned
before,
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.
I
will
open
up
the
microphone
at
the
end
of
our
meeting
for
any
other
general
business,
but
this
is
for
the
public
hearing
regarding
the
cares
Act
in
the
CDBG
funding
mayor.
O
Afternoon,
maeÃn
councilman
we're
here
today
to
come
in
on
what
had
just
been
saying,
pertaining
to
the
residential
assistance
and
I
had
kind
of
a
something
prepared,
but
y'all
stole
most
of
my
thunder.
So
but
that's
a
good
thing
because
of
what
you
have
already
proposed
to
do,
and
we
do
appreciate
it.
O
But
one
of
the
other
things
that
we
had
been
aware
of
is
that
the
Jaypee
who
issue
the
eviction
notices
had
tentatively
set
a
date
for
June
the
10th
or
the
15th,
to
begin
to
serve
those
notices,
June
the
10th,
which
is
tomorrow,
and
so
with
your
approval
of
it.
We
noticed
that
you
said
yet
also
go
to
her
to
get
their
approval
and
I.
Don't
know
how
that
could
be
expedited,
but
we're
looking
at
tomorrow
as
a
day
to
begin
serving
eviction.
Notices
now.
O
I
know
that
all
of
you,
as
well
as
myself,
we're
not
concerned
about
evictions
but
I
may
have
family
or
friends
parishioners
who
may
be
concerned
about
evictions.
And
with
that
in
mind,
we
would
like
to
make
sure
that's
issue
in
a
position
to
assist
and
help
them
that
they
will
really
appreciate.
Whatever
you
can
do
now,
we
do
have
a
real
concern
or
constituents.
Faith
leaders
as
well
just
TMO,
Baptist
ministers,
Union
reven
Cooper,
represents
the
n-double-a-cp.
O
L
F
O
A
H
O
C
H
H
I
A
A
I'll
now
move
to
public
comment
now
the
time
for
any
citizen
who
wishes
to
speak.
If
you
would
like
to
make
comment
today-
and
you
haven't
already
done
so-
please
fill
out
the
green
slip
and
hand
it
to
the
officer.
We
will
call
out
your
name
and,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
would
appreciate
if
you
keep
your
comments
to
three
minutes.
U
Good
afternoon
afternoon
my
name
is
Linda
pink
Gilmore
I
live
at
1315
Long
Street
here
in
Beaumont,
Texas
I
came
out
today
to
show
y'all
the
picture
of
my
home
from
the
harvest
on
hello.
It's
building
me
a
new
home,
but
two
weeks
ago,
look
at
the
water
in
my
yard,
I've
been
complaining
since
the
hardy
storm
for
drainage
and
I
have
no
drainage.
The
glow
company
have
build
a
new
home
on
your
list.
You
showed
long
and
MLK
number
wanted
to
be
built
drain.
It
so
I
guess.
I
talked
to
mr.
U
Lancaster
I
talked
to
mr.
Farr
Remington
Miss
Molly.
She
never
returns.
My
calls
and
I've
been
complaining.
I
have
pictures
goal
of
showing
the
drainage
the
water
land
in
my
new
home
I
have
not
moved
in
yet
I
haven't
moved
in
it.
The
gold
company
is
built,
the
government
building
those
homes
home
Pierce
they've
raised
my
grass
they've
Valery's
the
land,
but
no
drainage
and
everybody
come
on.
They
take
pictures
and
that's
it,
but
nobody
to
come
back
and
help
with
that
drainage.
U
There's
two
weeks
ago
you
smile
flirted
with
the
Harve
and
I've,
been
at
my
home
I'm,
not
in
my
home.
So
please
y'all
go
to
1350
Long
Street
and
see
the
water
that
was
laying
in
my
yard,
it's
a
beautiful
home.
They
building
the
government
is
building
some
beautiful
homes
for
us,
but
the
drainage,
the
city,
it's
not
helping.
The
contractors
have
called
the
city
talk
to
the
city
coming
up
about
to
do
the
drainage.
You
know
for
the
water
stop
laying
in
the
yard
they
tell
them,
they
come
in.
U
They
come
in
everybody
to
come
out
and
take
pictures,
but
then
they
all
go.
Nobody
come
back.
So
please
is
there
any
kind
of
way
that
I
could
get
that
drainage
because
they
couldn't
put
my
driveway
cement
and
because
of
the
drainage.
So
that's
it.
Mr.
Remington
total
that
he's
going
to
come
back
and
finish
the
end
of
my
driveway,
because
I
told
them
I
don't
want
those
rocks.
Laying
in
my
driveway
the
government
said
they
were
building
a
brand-new
home
with
cement.
Here's
pictures
of
it,
that's
the
grass.
H
U
J
T
Nice
wipe
down.
My
name
is
Luther
Morton,
like
you
said,
and
I'm
here,
to
express
some
displeasures
and
concerns.
I
call
them
my
decease
and
it
doesn't
mean
District
of
Columbia,
because
I
don't
want
you
to
wait
for
the
District
of
Columbia
I
want
you
to
put
some
action
in
place
now
call
fast
tracks.
T
T
:
cabinet
kneel
before
God,
America
and
flag
in
an
effort
to
get
black
lives
included
in
America's
Promise.
How
many
of
you
have
kneeled
before
God
to
ask
to
have
a
bitter
cup
removed
401
years
later,
blacks
are
still
asked
in
first
attempt
stemming
racism
to
be
removed.
I
used
to
think
that
all
the
racist
people
would
die
off
one
day
and
leave
the
one
with
pure
hearts.
I
am
here
today
understanding
that
God
have
no
hands
but
our
hands
to
do
his
work.
T
Today
we
have
to
step
I,
mean
stop
making
excuses
and
do
the
work
of
the
Lord
and
I'm
gonna
outline
some
things
that
I've
ran
across.
In
my
experience
and
I
hope
I
don't
run
out
of
time
police
reform.
We
can
do
some
of
these
things
now
and
not
wait
on
a
District
of
Columbia,
remove
from
police
training
and
Arsenal
the
choking
hole
and
applying
the
need
to
the
neck,
and
also
the
drug
raids.
T
Without
notifications
make
it
a
crime
for
those
things
make
internal
investigation
of
the
police
and
Sheriff
Department
I
set
entity
promote
new
culture
among
peace
officers
where
there
were
will
move
from
a
philosophy.
We
must
protect
our
home
to
one
that
we
must
protect
all
no
more
negative
peer
pressure.
T
A
friend
of
Mines
was
in
the
police
department
and
was
on
the
job
new
within
the
first
year
and
that
peer
pressure
came
on
him
and
he
had
stopped
the
older
officer
for
doing
something
like
chokeholds
or
whatever,
and
when
he
did,
he
was
returned
with
peer
pressure
and
the
guy
came
in
as
off
and
said:
hey,
look,
the
chief.
How.
A
T
I'll
cut
through
some
of
it,
but
the
peer
pressure
was
that
the
chief
said
he
wanted
to
know
whether
this
guy
was
with
him
or
not,
and
the
guy
told
him
said
no,
don't
you
tell
me
that
have
the
chief
to
tell
me
matter
of
fact:
I'd
go
to
the
chief
office
and
asked
him
but
I'm.
You
know
the
gist
of
my
comment.
Was
the
Beaumont
police
chief
didn't
handle
his
statement
correctly
because
in
a
second
video
you
do
not
need
any
more
video
to
explain
that
needs
to
the
neck.
T
That
will
kill
that
individual,
just
like
it
killed
George
Floyd,
so
we
need
to
come
up
when
he
should
have
done,
will
come
up
with
a
plan
saying
I'm
gonna,
remove
that
from
his
arsenal
and
do
something
about
it.
Other
things
like
the
DA
reform,
we've
got
crooked
DA's
and
we
need
to
do
something
about
it
like
the
one
in
Louisiana's.
The
deep
DNA
evidence
released
this
guy
and
he
when
released
a
guy,
because
he
probably
was
a
racist.
T
T
V
Hello,
my
name
is
grace
Mathis
I
am
a
born
and
raised
Beaumont,
Ian
and
I've
worked
in
many
capacities
in
this
community.
I
actually
started
out
moving
back
here
after
school
and
worked
at
the
Southeast
Texas
Food
Bank
for
four
years
working
and
developing
the
backpack
program
at
the
food
bank.
I
was
a
teacher
for
one
year
at
peach,
MacArthur
elementary
school
and
I'm,
an
active
artist
and
performer
and
very
active
in
the
local
arts
community.
V
V
V
My
when
I
saw
that
I
thought
well
would
that
have
happened
if
this
video
had
not
surfaced?
Would
this
have
been
addressed
within
the
police
department
if
there
was
not
public
outrage
surrounding
that
incident
and
we'll
never
know
that?
But
it
is
time
for
our
community
to
talk
to
the
police
department
to
hear
from
the
police
department
and
to
know
what
do
they
have
in
place
to
make
sure
that
police
are
handling
their
interactions
with
the
public
in
a
respectful
way
and
I?
V
Think
it's
also
time
for
as
a
community
as
a
whole,
including
the
City
Council,
to
re-examine
how
much
of
our
funding
that
we
have
in
this
community
goes
to
specifically
at
the
police
department
and
how
much
of
that
could
be
reallocated
to
those
things
that
will
prevent
crime
from
happening
in
the
first
place.
Things
such
as
public
transportation
I
was
very
happy
to
hear
this
discussion
about
homelessness
and
how
that
can
be
addressed
in
our
community
things
such
as
youth
programs,
public
health,
including
mental
health,
libraries,
Parks
and
Rec,
the
education
system
and
community
development.
V
V
J
V
W
Good
afternoon
names,
artist,
Jones,
okay,
I've,
been
my
house
on
Delaware
Street
I
left
work
right
across
tree
from
a
living
Heights
park
and
we
flood
consistently.
What
I
have
is
a
picture
of
cars
in
the
water
that
are
on
the
street
right
by
my
house,
I've
been
here
the
whole
time
I've
seen
the
guys
list
my
areas.
Nowhere
on
that
list,
I
did
notice,
Delaware
and
I
think
goes
down
on
the
list
that
doesn't
flood
at
all,
but
a
place
where
cars
are
underwater
is
not
even
on
the
list.
W
W
So
we've
caught,
we
talked
to
the
department.
We've
talked
to
the
drainage
street
and
drainage
department.
We
called
three
one
one
to
talk
to
people
they
drove
through,
and
we
also
requested
that
we
get
bare
your
spit
in
front
the
stop
cars
coming
through,
because
what
water
could
still
come
inside
my
house
by
and
so
instead
of
them
putting
anything
to
stop
vehicles
from
coming
through
the
Beaumont
City.
Two
trucks
came
through
just
in
the
water
in
my
hostages,
by
driving
by
so
we
just
wanna
know.
W
If
there's
gonna,
be
anybody
to
clean
out
the
ditches
or
try
to
figure
out.
Welcome
this
area
isn't
on
the
main
town
of
lists,
Tiffany
Murphy,
the
news
they
just
walk
through
every
time
cuz,
they
know
right
in
front
of
my
house-
is
kind
of
flood
every
time
and
on
top
of
that,
what
just
recently
happened
as
I
just
filled
150
bags
of
sand,
because
I
thought
I
was
gonna,
have
a
storm
this
past
week,
but
it
missed
us
I,
just
put
150
bags
myself
and
my
little
and
I
bought
some
flood
backs
ones.
W
H
W

W

A
X
Afternoon
my
name
is
Caleb
M
Peterson
I'm,
a
accounting
student
at
Lamar
University
today,
I'm
gonna
be
citing
some
data
that
I
pulled
from
that
comprehensive
annual
financial
reports
and
the
2020
adopted
budget.
As
was
discussed
earlier
in
the
meeting
revenues
for
fiscal
year,
2020
will
fail
to
meet
previous
estimations
made
when
the
2020
budget
was
adopted
as
a
result
of
the
cove
8:19
shutdown
during
fiscal
years,
2016
through
2019,
the
overall
population
of
Beaumont
has
decreased
by
0.45
percent.
X
In
that
time
period,
funds
earmarked
for
the
Beaumont
Police
Department
have
been
increased
by
2.7
percent
with
the
department
having
added
23
new
civilian
positions
in
those
three
years.
Our
police
are
by
far
the
city's
biggest
expenditure
on
the
statement
of
revenues
and
expenditures,
so
I'm
nervous
public
speaker.
A
X
The
overall
inflation
of
the
US
dollar
was
2
point
1,
3
percent.
During
that
time,
for
the
adopted,
2020
budget
sales
and
use
taxes
were
estimated
to
contribute
forty
two
million
five
hundred
eighty
two
thousand
five
hundred
to
the
general
fund,
while
expenditures
earmarked
for
police
were
in
the
amount
of
forty
million
four
hundred.
Ninety
three
thousand
and
three
hundred
I
know
that
Beaumont
has
a
crime
problem,
but
studies
have
shown
that
increasing
police
resources
and
beefing
up
police
sources
beefing
up
police
forces
does
not
decrease
crime.
X
You
lower
crime
by
tackling
poverty,
of
which
this
city
also
has
a
problem
in
their
ordinance
to
amend
the
2020
budget,
I
implore,
the
members
of
Beaumont
City
Council
to
reappropriation
of
these
funds
into
Community
Development,
as
they
talked
about
earlier,
and
initiatives
that
are
actually
proven
to
lower
crime,
affordable
housing,
mental
health
and
addiction,
counseling
youth
outreach
and
especially
improving
our
underfunded.
Schools
I
believe
that
formation
of
a
civilian
review
board
is
also
necessary
in
order
to
address
any
alleged
use
of
excessive
force
made
by
law
enforcement.
X
This
would
lead
to
increased
community
buying
trust
and
participation
in
local
government.
I'm.
Aware
that
we
have
a
civilian
Advisory
Council,
but
I
do
not
think
that
it
is
currently
satisfactory.
I
think
that
it
should
be
that
or
maybe
amended,
and
thank
you
for
listening,
I
appreciate
your
time.
Thank.
Y
My
perception
is:
is
that
the
sewer
in
drainage
problems
in
this
city
are
getting
increasingly
worse.
We
had
a
1
to
6
inch
rain
in
two
hours,
in
my
only
hope
for
the
city
of
Beaumont.
Is
we
don't
have
the
same
kind
of
problems
with
the
next
major
storm?
It
was
very
difficult
to
hear
what
was
going
on
in
here
during
the
presentation
of
the
engineering
firm.
Y
But
what
I
didn't
hear
was
what
does
this
this
1.9
million
dollars,
that
the
city
spent
on
this
engineering
study
do
to
correct
the
raw
sewage
problem
that
we
have
backing
up
into
the
city?
The
members
of
this
community's
homes
on
a
routine
basis,
I
didn't
hear
one
thing
about
how
that
got
addressed
and
maybe
I
missed
it,
because
we
couldn't
really
hear
him
there,
but
that
seems
to
deal
with
the
waters.
Drainage
stuff
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
sewage
issues,
so
my
question
of
y'all
was:
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
that?
Y
Is
it
going
to
be
necessary
for
the
citizens
of
this
community
to
file
a
complaint
with
the
Texas
Commission
for
Environmental
Quality
and
come
out,
invest
and
get
investigate
all
these
complaints
and
then
start
fining
the
city,
ten
thousand
dollars
a
pop,
because
that's
what
they
can
do?
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
talked
to
them
after
I
spoke
with
certain
members
of
the
City
Council
and
they
I
wanted
a
file
one.
They
would
have
accepted
it,
but
the
big
problem
we
have
is
when
the
citizens
of
this
community
want
to
file
these
complaints.
Y
The
Texas
Commission
for
Environmental
Quality
throws
up
this
well,
we
have
a
compliance
agreement
with
the
city
of
Beaumont,
so
we're
really
not
going
to
do
anything
and
that's
what
you
get.
If
you
call
the
Public
Works
Department
here,
go
ahead
and
call
them.
We
don't
care,
because
several
people
have
related
that
to
me
and
that's
unfair
to
the
citizens
of
this
community.
It's
blatantly
unfair.
It's
unfair
for
people
who
live
in
raw
filth
and
the
little
lady
that
spoke
before
me.
Y
I
saw
the
photographs
of
her
home
where
she
can't
even
get
in
a
brand-new
house.
Cuz
the
flood
water.
Won't
let
her
get
in
her
home.
That's
inexcusable!
This
City
Council
can
do
better.
I
know
every
one
of
y'all
it's
time
the
time
to
fix
the
problem
is
now
okay
and
one
other
thing.
Mr.
Hayes
mentioned
something
about
putting
out
this
1
million
1.9
million
dollar
study
as
much
as
he
can
for
the
public
review.
My
opinion,
that's
a
public
record
and
it
won't
take
this
cost.
Y
The
city
of
thousand
bucks
to
have
an
IT
tech
downloaded
into
a
Dropbox
and
put
it
on
the
Facebook
page.
On
a
public
record
plates
we're
entitled
to
see
it,
we
paid
for
it
and
I,
don't
know
of
any
privilege
under
the
law
that
keeps
the
city
from
doing
that
and
if
I'm
mistaken
I'd
like
to
hear
but
I
think
we're
entitled
to
have
that
Kyle
and.
C
Y
Y
Eight
children,
okay,
they
didn't
deserve
to
have
their
home
flood
in
the
middle
to
be
displaced,
have
to
deal
with
the
roofing
I
mean
the
flooding
issues
and
everything
else
redoing
their
home
at
their
ages,
and
another
thing
I
think
the
City
Council
needs
to
talk.
Think
about
Spring
understand
will
rep
it
up.
Okay,
thank
you.
What's
gonna
happen
to
this
city?
If
FEMA,
who
ensures
all
these
flood
policies
decide
well,
city
bum
is
not
doing
what
they
need
to
do.
Y
We're
going
to
subrogate
all
these
insurance
claims
we've
had
to
pay
and
Sue
the
city.
That's
gonna
cost
city,
a
lot
of
money,
potentially
so
I
think
the
moral
of
the
story.
It's
time
to
act,
I
really
appreciate
you
all
hearing
me
I
appreciate
y'all
here
and
me
individually
when
I
talk
to
y'all,
but
I
think
it's
time
for
the
city
really
to
do
something.
Thank.
H
We
are
and
I
missus
state
some
facts.
The
City
Council
y'all
approved
now
I
wouldn't
wear
his
situation.
Maybe
it's
at
his
parents
house,
so
first
tearing
about
it,
you've
got
over
six
million
dollars
worth
of
pipe
bursting
work
in
this
city
right
now,
that's
probably
at
least
twice
as
much
as
I've
seen
so
you're
doing
a
lot.
I
sat
down
with
key
staff
and
I
want
you
to
know
and
ask
them
how
many
citizens
cuz
you're
out
there
every
day,
working
with
them
yep
over
forty
thousand
customers.
H
How
many
citizens
are
you
aware
of
that,
cannot
flush
their
toilets?
Okay,
you're
aware
they
could
name.
Only
three
and
I
know
there's
more
out
there,
but
that's
what
they
could
mean
that
they
were
aware
of.
So
when
he
talks
about
chronic
problems
and
people
not
being
able
to
flush
their
toilet,
we
go
out
there
now
we're
tracking
it,
but
you
have
to
make
a
determination.
H
Is
it
our
main
line
that
has
a
problem
or
is
it
their
lines?
That's
the
first
determination.
So
a
lot
of
people
can
easily
point
to
the
city
and
say:
I
cannot
flush
my
toilet
when
it
rains
and
blame
the
city
of
Beaumont.
That's
not
always
the
case,
so
you
have
to
look
at
it
individually,
go
out
there
and
make
that
determination.
Is
it
our
problem
or
is
it
their
problem?
So
I
can
speak
from
experience.
H
A
young
guy
living
on
23rd
Street
couldn't
flush,
my
toilet
when
it
rained
I,
couldn't
that
was
my
problem
because
I
had
an
old
clay
line
and
I
had
to
replace
it
at
that
time,
four
or
five
thousand
dollars,
which
is
a
lot
of
money
at
that
time,
is
a
lot
of
money
now,
especially
its
prices
increase,
but
you
have
to
again
whose
responsibility
is
it
so
I
don't
know
his
situation?
We
haven't
maybe
been
out
there
yet,
but
we
should
I,
don't
know
who
he
called
on
the
council.
H
But
let
me
know
the
address:
if
that's
where
he
lives
or
if
that's
the
house,
he
speaking
out
of
it
again,
let's
look
at
it
individually
and
determine
what
the
facts
are
and
if
it's
our
problem
that
we
ought
to
try
to
fix
it,
that's
our
job.
If
it's
their
problem,
we
need
to
tell
them
it's
their
responsibility,
and
then
we
need
to
put
it
in
the
system
which
they're
doing
now.
So
we
get
that
call
in
the
future.
H
We
can
say:
wait
a
minute
we've
been
out
there
on
such
and
such
date
and
that
new
system
y'all
approve
this
software
system.
We
have
that
capability
now
we're
implementing
it
within
our
different
departments
and
you'll
be
able
to
go
in
real-time
and
see
what
the
issues
are.
So
again,
let's,
let's
look
at
each
when
he
comes
up
here
and
states
and
things
that
I
would
say,
maybe
aren't
fact,
let's
look
and
see
what
the
facts
are
on
each
situation
and
then
deal
with
them
accordingly,.
Z
A
Z
So,
first
off
I'd
like
to
thank
each
of
you
so
much
for
your
service
and
looking
out
for
what's
best
for
our
community
and
your
intentions,
to
look
out
for
what's
best
for
our
community's
future,
I
would
like
to
propose
that
I'm,
a
second-grade
educator,
so
I
teach
second
grade
here
in
Beaumont
and
I
would
like
to
propose
that
we
purchase
and
distributes
textbooks
and
social
studies
books
that
intertwine
and
integrate
black
history
with
American
history
more
than
what's
there.
Currently.
This
is
something
I
feel
strongly
about
I
feel
like
black
history.
Z
We
now
have
it
segregated
into
a
month
which,
yes,
that's
fine,
it's
a
time
to
be
celebrated,
but
it
should
be
throughout
the
history
books
and
match
with
what's
happening
in
current
history.
They're
hard
difficult
things
to
talk
about,
but
those
are
things
that
need
to
happen.
Ira
Aldridge
I'm
not
sure
how
familiar
you
are,
but
he
was
a
Shakespearian
he
was
in
plays
during
the
time
of
slavery.
When
we
talk
about
theater
in
school,
we
need
to
do
this
where
we
match
subject
and
text.
History
dates
with
what
went
on
through
those
times.
Z
So
when
we're
talking
about
theater
he's
one
who,
during
the
time
of
slavery,
he
needs
to
be
mentioned
for
what
he
overcame,
there's
a
lot
of
misconceptions.
There's
a
lack
of
perception
and
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
that
can
go
back
to
the
roots,
Frederick
Douglass,
of
course,
leader
in
the
abolitionist
movement,
a
friend
of
Abraham
Lincoln,
side-by-side
I
feel,
like
his
story,
needs
to
be
told
with
Abraham
Lincoln's
story.
So
we
need
to
find
those
textbooks
in
this
area
and
make
sure
that
those
are
distributed
appropriately.
Z
That
needs
real
change
and
those
that
increased
perspective
and,
of
course,
decreasing
disk
decreasing
the
misconception
now,
there's
no
they're
not
talking
about,
and
you
know
to
each
their
own
like
okay,
yes,
I'm
gonna
talk
about
this
because
it's
something
based
on
what
I'm
convicted
about
or
what
you
think
is
important
in
history.
Instead,
I'm
asking
that
this
be
mandatory
through
our
district
I'm,
not
sure
how
much
power
we
have
in
private
schools
for
Beaumont,
but
I
feel
like
these.
Z
Z
Okay,
but
George
Washington
Carver.
Of
course
he
was
in
agriculture
list.
There
needs
to
be
he's
right
there
with
Henry
Wallace
right
there
with
Truman.
We
need
to
know
who
these
people
are
and
how
they're
related
and
it
needs
to
be
ingrained
into
our
soul.
So
for
me
I
feel
like
then
we
go
into
the
Underground
Railroad
little
Ruby
Bridges,
Rosa
Parks,
you
know,
but
we
talk
about
this
story
of
overcoming,
so
those
misconceptions
are
not
there.
Z
AA
AA
What
happened
was
basically.
Chaos
took
over.
This
is
a
day
before
social
media
and
people
had
the
correct
information.
You
know
the
users
to
the
rumor
mill
and
it
started
at
a
big
riot.
A
lot
of
people
had
their
lives,
destroyed
the
property
destroyed,
and
it
was
awful
time
in
history,
something
we
will
never
repeat
again,
I
believe
at
least
not
here
in
the
United
States
of
America.
AA
This
is
another
thing
is,
of
course,
we've
marginalized,
a
lot
of
people
in
our
country,
the
Native
Americans.
Of
course,
you
know
people
who
are
african-american,
we
normalized
and
also
women.
Of
course,
it's
only
been
like
a
hundred
years.
Simply
let
women
vote
in
this
country,
which
is
you
know,
that's
just
way
at
home,
though
I
was
work
for
I
was
born,
you
know,
and
we
still
have
problems
with
where
we're
not
actually
for
dating
equal
life,
liberty
and
property
rights
to
all
of
our
citizens.
AA
AA
You
know
anybody
just
you
know
it's
not
harming
anybody
at
all,
but
they're
still
against
the
law.
That
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
me,
because
this
should
be
always
be
the
sense
of
harm
being
remedied
in
each
lawyer.
You
make
and
sometimes
there's
laws
made
where
this
tiny
remedy
and
another
thing
is
I-
think
a
lot
of
people
right
now,
a
fear
of
not
having
police
up
there,
and
you
know
some
people
think
the
police
are
the
ones
that
being
stopped
many
people's
life
in
there.
AA
You
probably
other
people,
are
saying
that
you
know
that's
what
keeps
us
from
going
the
state
of
nature
kind
of
like
the
Lord
of
the
Flies.
You
know,
and
so
that's
a
conflict
that
we
all
have
to
be
and
I'm
really
glad
that
ball
might
does
a
lot
of
good
things
like
community
policing,
these
neighborhood
associations,
the
cop
and
kids
I
believe
we
have
less
conflict
and
what's
other
cities
have
it's
not
perfect,
I'm,
not
gonna,
say
it's
perfect,
but
generally
we
both.
We
all
respect
each
other's
life
rights
to
life,
liberty,
property.
AA
We
meant
I
agree
every
time
exactly
what
the
balance
is,
but
I'm
just
happy
that
Beaumont
doesn't
have
all
these
troublemakers
and
we
keep
our
beautiful
city
in
one
piece,
and
that's
that
really
made
me
sad.
If
something
happened
to
my
hometown
and
you
know
any
resident
in
my
hometown
or
anything
else
in
my
hometown,
we
don't
want
any
just
chaos
and
disorder.
Okay.
Thank
you,
mr.
Marsh.
Thank
you.
We.
AA
AB
Think
I'd
be
good
at
that
by
now
hey
good
afternoon,
mayor
city,
council
and
staff
I'm
gonna
keep
this
really
brief,
because
I
know
we've
all
been
here.
Quite
a
long
time
did
want
to
give
you
an
update.
My
street
looks
amazing:
I
am
the
director
of
marketing
and
recruiting
for
my
organization
and
I
can
I
can
honestly
say
that
I
think
my
recruiting
efforts
are
gonna,
be
pretty
good
this
year,
so
I
really
appreciate
all
y'all's
hard
work
and
I
can't
say
it
enough.
AB
It
feels
great
to
know
that
a
local
contractor
did
that
work.
I
did
make
some
observations
took
a
lot
of
pictures
of
the
progress
and
the
work
as
it
went
through
documentation,
I'd
love
to
share
that
with
any
of
you,
who'd
like
to
look
at
that.
I
will
say
this
like
I
said:
I
am
a
recruiter,
y'all
city
workers
when
it
came
to
fixing
some
of
the
water
leaks
they
had
an
ax
in
the
street.
I
was
very
impressed
and
honestly
I
might
be
trying
to
steal
them
for
me.
So
don't
hold
that
against
me.
A
M
A
E
Just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
men
and
women
of
our
Police
Department.
It's
a
tough
time
to
be
an
officer
right
now
now,
there's
cries
around
the
country
for
defunding
police
departments
wanting
to
have
progressive
changes
made
to
our
Police
Department
I,
don't
know
if
the
citizens
that
are
asking
for
these
things
are
fully
aware
of
the
types
of
programs
and
initiatives
that
are
already
in
place
in
the
Beaumont
Police
Department,
but
I'm,
aware
of
them
and
I
appreciate
you
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
J
E
A
lot
of
people
in
terms
of
capacity
I
understand
that
we're
gonna
have
to
vote
on
each
specific
thing
that
we're
gonna
open
up
is
that
right,
mr.
Hayes,
so
I'm
asking
council
to
consider
someone
having
me.
Second,
my
request
to
open
up
the
event
center,
certainly
no
later
than
June
30th,
but
it's
gonna
have
to
be
put
on
an
agenda
and
I'm
going
to
need
a
second.
E
A
We
can't
have
a
discussion
but
I'd
like
to
make
a
statement
about
that.
We
need
to
see
what
the
governor's
going
to
say
this
week.
However,
the
75%
for
the
restaurants
on
June,
16th
or
whenever
I
think
it's
around
June
16th
and
they
went
from
25
to
50
to
75%.
That
does
not
include
venues
and
I
did
speak
with
Emily
wheeler
this
morning,
because
we
met
with
the
symphony
and
the
venue's
are
very
specific
in
that
you
have
to
skip
a
row
of
people.
You
have
to
have
at
least
two
seats
between
every
party.
A
It
would
probably
give
us
300
something
right
now,
as
it
stands
at
say
the
Julie.
You
know
they're
talking
about
some
great
ideas
and
we're
working
with
them,
but
the
25,
50
and
75
percent
that
the
governor's
put
in
place
for
restaurants
does
not
apply
to
our
venues-
that's
very,
very
clear.
Now
it
may,
but
the
Event
Center
is
a
venue
to
where
we
would
have
to
have
that.
We
are
renting
out
to
people
and
I.
A
L
Mayor
June
is
the
birth
month
of
one
of
Bo
months.
Can
you
hear
me
sure
birthday
tooth
team,
babe
Zaharias?
She
was
born
in
1911
and,
as
we
discussed
earlier,
it
was
mentioned
when
she
was
born.
Women
couldn't
even
vote,
but
she
certainly
made
a
name
for
herself
and
brought
a
lot
of
publicity
to
our
community.
And,
as
many
of
you
know,
our
babes
of
Harris
foundation
is
working
on
a
several
different
projects.
L
Rayden
bailey,
it's
one
of
our
recipients
who
this
last
year
got
his
opportunity
to
play
in
his
first
PGA
event,
and
we
anticipate
that
there
are
other
young
golfers
that
are
coming
out
and
that's.
What
we
want
to
do
is
encourage
young
people
to
get
involved
and
realized
that
there's
opportunities
out
there
for
them
and
golf's
a
great
sport
that
doesn't
require
eleven
more
people
to
round
up
and
have
a
game.
You
can
actually
go
out
and
do
it
by
yourself,
but
I
just
want
to
say
we
are
really
proud
of
that.
P
P
P
Therein
lies
the
problem
simply
because
I
voiced
my
concern
about
what
I
saw
and
what
I
felt
I
was
subject
to
attack.
That's
okay,
I
will
not
remain
silent
in
the
face
of
injustice
in
1619.
My
forefathers
were
brought
here
unwillingly
400
years
ago,
as
slaves
helped
build.
This
nation
help
build
the
streets,
the
buildings,
the
cities,
the
towns,
this
country.
P
How
dare
you
privileged
tell
me
what
I
should
feel
what
I
should
think
about
what
I
see
with
my
own
eyes?
What
I
live
every
day?
Those
of
you
who
says
it
doesn't
matter.
You
can
go
straight
to
hell,
along
with
the
Satanic
spirit,
that
you're
riding
with
the
hottest
place
in
hell,
is
pervert
preserved
for
those
who
remain
neutral
in
the
face
of
great
moral
conflict.
P
P
P
We
can
speak
out
against
injustice
when
we
see
it.
We
received
emails
within
the
last
month,
speaking
out
about
some
of
the
vestiges
of
centuries
of
symbolic
acceptance
of
blatant
racism.
In
our
face,
we
have
to
begin
to
help
heal
the
wounds,
particularly
by
removing
those
symbolic
symbolic
honoring,
the
confederate
cause
of
the
soldiers
of
the
confederate
army
of
the
statues.
P
P
I
You
mayor
first
of
all,
I
would
like
to
congratulate
the
class
of
2020
they've
gone
through
a
lot
of
obstacles
this
year,
just
to
get
to
the
point
of
graduation
so
class
of
2020.
Congratulations
also
I
would
like
to
think
indolence
'as
to
the
family
of
George
Floyd,
where
he
was
laid
to
rest
today
in
Houston
his
birth
home
I.
I
I
I
Chief
Singletary
has
made
the
media
change
to
remove
the
technique
of
the
use
of
the
knee
to
the
neck
and
head
some
counselors
across
the
country
had
to
vote
to
remove
that
same
technique.
We
didn't
and
I
think
chief
Singletary
for
removing
that.
In
conclusion,
we,
our
citizens
need
to
respect
authority
and
authority
needs
to
respect
human
lives.
A
Thank
You
councilmember,
okay,
I,
don't
have
a
lot.
I
do
I,
just
want
to
I
looked
councilmen
gets
and
he
brought
up
the
event
center
and
looked
it
up
and
it's
50%
and
that's
where
the
the
row
came
in
with
the
symphony
where
you
have
to
skip
a
row
and
skip
the
amounts,
because
that's
how
many
they
can
put
in
there.
We'd
have
to
do
the
same
thing
at
the
event
center.
A
There's
no
indication
that
the
change
that
will
be
made
I'm
not
saying
for
sure,
because
we
don't
ever
know,
but
the
change
that
will
be
made
on
Friday
will
include
venues.
It
includes
restaurants,
we've
heard,
but
not
any
venues
yet,
but
we
are
watching
it.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
made
that
clear.
I
wasn't
real
clear
on
that,
because
there
is
a
fine
arts
and
performance
horse
checklist
along
with
the
venue
checklist
that
we're
using
and
I
have
to
give
Emily
wheeler
credit
the
director
of
our
facilities.
A
A
Everyone
has
the
right
to
feel
the
way
they
feel,
and
you
know
many
of
us
have
different
reasons
for
how
we
feel
how
we
were
brought
up.
Different
things
that
have
happened
in
the
past
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
Beaumont
community
and
those
surrounding
community
for
respecting
each
other,
in
keeping
the
the
words
and
the
actions
peaceful
Michael
Cooper
within
double
ACP
was
here
earlier,
has
been
a
real
leader
in
that
and
I
talked
to
him
every
week
and
he's
been
very
good
to
work
with
through
the
police
department
along
with
us.
A
If
we
choose
to
work
with
them,
I
also
want
to
thank
the
police
officers
that
have
gone
out
and
been
peaceful
with
the
peaceful
protesters.
I
think
that,
as
was
said
earlier,
the
only
way
that
we're
going
to
get
past
this
is,
if
we
communicate,
we
don't
always
understand
where
someone
else
is
coming
from,
but
communication
I
believe
is
always
the
key
I
feel
like
that.
We
can,
if
we
tell
each
other,
how
we
feel
whether
we
have
bias
or
not,
and
I
don't
mean
racism
I
mean
bias
for
whatever
reason.
A
Then,
if
we
can
talk
about
it,
sometimes
we
can
understand
it
better
and
that's
what
I
hope
happens
that
comes
out
of
this,
because
I
just
want
to
say,
though,
that
I'm,
just
so
very,
very
proud
of
everyone.
That's
been
involved
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
When
you
compare
what's
going
on
around
our
country,
that
doesn't
mean
that
there's
not
change.
A
That
needs
to
be
made
in
a
lot
of
areas,
but
what
it
does
mean
is
that
we
are
working
together
to
try
to
get
through
that
and
and
I'm
glad
councilmember
Mouton
made
the
comment
about
Chief
Singletary
I
did
visit
with
him
and
he
did
make
the
decision
to
change
in
a
technique.
I
learned
a
lot
about
that
through
this.
A
I've
talked
to
a
lot
of
organizers,
in
addition
and
I've
talked
to
a
lot
of
police
officers
and
I
think
that
we
all
truly
deep
down,
want
the
same
goal.
How
we
get.
There
is
another
question
that
we
have
to
work
through,
but
I.
Think
communication
is
the
key
and
I
will
communicate
and
do
whatever
I
need
to
do.
I
believe
that
injustice
is
bad,
but
some
sometimes
we
just
need
to
step
back
and
and
look
at
the
entire
picture
in
every
way
and
I
mean
from
every
aspect.
A
I
have
been
in
a
situation
before
where
I
was
accused
of
something
I
didn't
do,
and
it
was
very
scary.
I
was
young
and
I
was
in
a
car
and,
and
it
wasn't
the
police,
it
was
actually
Highway
Patrol
and
actually
pulled
a
gun
on
me
because
they
thought
that
I
had
robbed
a
bank,
because
I
was
in
a
certain
type
of
car.
I
was
like
16,
so
it
was
pretty
scary.
A
Sometimes
it
takes
horrible
situations
to
bring
people
together
and
make
them
learn.
What's
really
important
and
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
move
our
city
forward
and
do
everything
that
we
can
to
prevent
racism
in
every
way,
shape
or
form
and
any
injustice
that
might
be
served
to
any
of
our
citizens.
So
I
thank
y'all
for
coming
today.
A
I
know
it's
been
a
long
meeting,
I,
don't
know
if
anybody's
left
over
in
our
room
over
there,
but
probably
not
but
I
appreciate
everything
that
you've
done
and
thanks
for
the
work
sessions
very
good
and
I
really
did
appreciate
land
being
here.
I
think
it
sheds
a
lot
of
light
on
what
we
have
to
do,
and
you
know
it's
we're
in
a
we're
in
a
tough
situation.
