From YouTube: City Council Meeting Jan 31, 2023 | City of Beaumont, TX

Description

✨WHAT YOU MISSED AT COUNCIL✨
✔️ ExxonMobil Beaumont presented the City with a $100K check to go towards Parks & Recreation's restoration of the Charlton-Pollard Park playground and discussed a future recycling initiative.
✔️Amended the FY 2023 Budget to increase the general liability fund by $500K
✔️ Authorized participation in Entergy's rate proceedings for 2023. The committee successfully negotiated a rate increase of only 4.6%, reducing their original proposal by 58.90%.
✔️ Held a work session to review and discuss supporting the request of the Southeast Texas Groundwater Conservation District (SETGCD) to raise the maximum water production fee from 1 cent per 1,000 gallons to 7 cents per 1,000 gallons and authorized the City Manager to send a letter supporting the maximum rate increase. That does not mean there will be an increase and no increase is anticipated in the near future, it's merely a failsafe for worst case scenario.
✔️ Held a work session to review and discuss the adoption of the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code. The vote was to table the item for two weeks to allow staff more time to research if and how it may impact potential future FEMA reimbursements.
