be
found
faithful.
We
pray
this
through
christ.

A
F
Well,
good
evening,
mayor
of
council,
I'm
just
coming
to
give
an
update
from
last
week
and
just
to
give
you
guys
some
numbers
of
where
we
are
within
our
city.
F
F
Within
that
same
time
we
had
15
deaths
reported
in
the
county,
but
we
had
an
additional
seven
deaths.
Apported
today
the
age
group
of
14
to
17
represent
11
of
those
cases.
F
School
has
just
opened
every
school,
that's
open
has
all
has
already
reported
cases,
so
we're
seeing
cases
amongst
our
kids
that's
in
school,
but
we
do
have
some.
Some
good
news
is
that
on
last
time
I
was
with
you.
It
was
27
percent
of
kids
12
to
15
received
their
first
dose
as
of
today,
that's
up
to
31,
so
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
the
number
of
our
kids
getting
vaccinated,
but
we
have
a
long
way
to
go
very,
very
long
way
to
go
hospitals.
F
F
F
F
As
of
yesterday,
between
those
nine
counties,
we
only
had
two
icu
beds
available
between
the
nine
counties
and
only
130
hospital
beds
available
between
those
nine
counties,
our
positivity
rate,
as
relates
to
the
number
of
coveted
people
in
the
hospital
for
our
trauma
service
area,
is
32
percent,
which
means
our
area.
We
have
the
highest
positivity
rate
of
covey
people
in
our
hospitals
in
the
entire
state
of
texas.
F
So
it's
it's
really
serious
in
our
local
area.
Any
question
that
was
just
a
quick
update
of
where
we
are
where
we
stand.
F
I
F
But
the
other
side
of
that
is
based
on
tea
guidance.
If
a
kid
is
exposed
to
covet
or
identified
as
a
close
contact,
but
that
kid
is
asymptomatic,
meaning
they
have
no
visible
symptoms.
Then
it's
up
to
the
parent
to
make
the
decision,
whether
or
not
to
send
a
kid
back
to
school
or
keep
the
kid
home.
The
quarantine.
I
F
F
We
get
the
ones
that
we
get
now
by
law,
everybody's
supposed
to
report
that
positive
results
to
us.
But
sometimes
you
know
it's
it's
timely,
but
you
know,
but
you
can
go,
take
a
test
in
houston
and
test
positive
and
I
probably
would
never
see
that
result.
Even
though
you
live
and
reside
in
bulma.
J
F
Person
tests
positive,
they
are
the
quarantine.
Well,
let
me
rephrase
that
when
you're
positive,
then
you
go
into
isolation
for
10
days,
if
you're
positive.
Now,
if
you're
a
contact
to
a
case,
then
that's
when
you
quarantine
for
14
days,
that's
cdc's
guidance
and
that's
the
guidance
that
we
follow
as
public
health,
but
tea
have
their
own
guidance
that
they've
shared
with
the
schools.
F
So
the
schools
have
to
follow
tea
guidance
and
tea
garden
says
that
a
kid
is
positive
right:
they
can
quarantine
for
10
days
no
test
symptom-free,
they
can
return
back
to
school
right.
But
if
a
kid
is
a
contact,
they
have
the
option
to
quarantine
for
the
14
days
or
they
can
do
what
they
call
test
out
of
quarantine,
meaning
that
you
contact.
Then
you
can
test
in
seven
days
and
if
your
test
results
are
negative,
then
you
can
return
back
to
school.
F
E
Kenneth,
I
respect
a
person's
right
to
choose
to
take
the
vaccine
or
to
not
take
the
vaccine.
I
think
that's
a
personal
choice,
but
what
would
you
say
to
people
watching
online
and
here
in
the
in
the
building
that
are
afraid
of
the
vaccine,
because
we've
all
heard
through
social
media,
the
things
that
could
happen,
whether
it's
blood,
clots
or
heart
condition
or
the
long-term
effect?
And
I
know
that
fear
is
what's
holding
a
lot
of
people
back.
E
F
Don't
have
those
numbers-
that's
not
necessarily
reported
to
us,
but
what
I
read
from
cdc's
website
of
the
number
of
people.
We
have
well
over
what
165
million
people
that
have
taken
this
vaccine
and
negative
effects.
It's
almost
zero
in
comparison
to
the
number
of
people
who
have
taken
it.
Thank
you.

When
we
transport
someone
to
the
hospital
we
have
to
have
what
we
call
patient
transfer
and
so
we're
going
to
be
instituting
something
by
putting
a
couple
paramedics
at
the
hospital
to
stay
with
the
patients
where
we
can
get
the
med
units
back
on
the
street.
Our
call
volume
has
gone
up
tremendously.
J
M
J
M
It's
a
reflection
on
the
numbers
that
mr
coleman
gave
on
the
positive
tests
going
up
and
everything.
So
that's
total
reflection,
we're
working
hand
in
hand
with
the
health
department
for
the
vaccination
and
again,
like
kenneth,
is
saying,
get
fascinated.
H
F
In
one
of
the
executive
orders
issued
by
the
governor
was
that
if
a
person
died
at
home
and
was
exhibiting
symptoms
related
to
covet,
they
didn't
have
to
do
an
autopsy.
F
Well,
that's
that's
hard,
that's
hard
to
predict
right
now,
because
at
the
the
rate
we're
going
it's
it's
it's
beyond
serious.
F
You
know
our
largest
school
district
started
today,
which
is
bisd
so
we're
talking
about
18,
000,
plus
kids
and
I'm
just
a
little
concerned
as
to
what
we
might
see
because
I'm
looking
at
what's
happening
around
the
country.
I
mean
you
have
school
districts
in
georgia.
F
The
whole
school
district
has
to
shut
down
due
to
positive
cases
among
students
and
staff,
we're
seeing
we
had
a
12
year
old
in
dayton
to
pass
13
euro
in
mississippi
to
pass.
So
I
don't
want
people
to
to
think
that
this
virus
does
not
impact
young
kids
right.
This
delta
variant
has
changed
the
game.
F
F
Who
cannot
take
the
vaccine,
I
mean
we
have
them
as
young
as
11
months,
we've
seen
some
as
young
as
seven
months
that
test
positive.
I
just
talked
to
a
daycare
owner
she
had
to
shut
down.
Not
only
was
the
kids
positive,
she
herself
tested
positive,
so
this
is
what
we're
dealing
with
within
our
city
and
that's
why
I'm
just
encouraging
everyone
who
can
medically
and
age
eligible
to
get
the
vaccine.
F
E
E
Are
we
at
a
place
where
we
can
distinguish
the
delta
variant
from
just
covet
19.
F
A
F
Oh
no,
not
in
bisd,
okay,
I
mean
this
eight
right
at
eighteen
thousand,
so
I
would
imagine
ten
right
at
ten
thousand
ten
kids
who
are
age
eligible
to
get
vaccinated.
A
Now
is
the
time
for
any
citizen
that
would
like
to
speak.
If
you
would
like
to
make
a
public
comment
on
either
the
schedule
agenda
items
number
one
through
eight
and
ten
or
either
the
consent
agenda,
please
make
sure
that
you
fill
out
a
green
slip
at
the
back
of
the
room,
bring
it
to
our
clerk.
She
will
call
your
name
when
it's
time
for
you
to
speak,
you
will
have
three
minutes
to
speak.
L
I
want
to
talk
about
a
couple
of
things
number
six,
the
pipe
busting
whenever
they
did
pipe
busting
in
the
old
town
area.
I
don't
know
who
did
it
actually,
but
whenever
they
connected
the
sewer
lines
in
my
backyard,
they
dumped
just
a
bag
of
concrete
loose
around
the
pipe
and
I'm
hoping
that
that's
not
the
process
on
securing
the
the
saddle.
Whenever
it,
you
know
the
t,
the
t-joint
of
the
main.
L
So
if
y'all
can
look
into
that,
if
that's
a
proper
way
to
do
it,
okay,
but
I
don't
think
that's
the
proper
way
to
do
it
on
number.
Eight,
the
consideration
of
a
high
water
vehicle
for
fire
department.
Definitely,
but
since
the
south
end
area
was
extremely,
you
know
or
or
affected
real
bad
I'd
ended
up,
making
a
turn
off
of
washington
onto
finnette
and
ended
up
having
water
over
my
hood,
which
was
like
that
so
the
south
end
definitely
the
par
para
archer
area,
the
south
end
area.
L
I
had
people
that
were
in
at
least
knee
down
knee
hip
water
in
their
houses
that
were
flicking
their
porch
lights.
For
you
know,
people
to
rescue
them
elderly,
whatever
else
we
could
look
into
more
vehicles
than
just
one.
I
think
the
capacity
is
needed
for
at
least
one
to
three
vehicles.
Three
vehicles,
definitely
for
if
it's
going
to
be
a
deuce,
deuce
or
one
of
the
bigger
trucks
or
even
an
a.
I
think
it's
a
apx
or
something
like
that.
It's
a
light,
lightweight
military
vehicle.
L
I
mentioned
that
a
few
times
on
my
beaumont
texas
information
station
about
the
different
types
of
vehicles.
L
If
I
could
speak
on
the
public
hearings
about
the
eight
four
six
five
hey
frazier
drive,
it
was
a
public
nuisance
issue
about
guy
collecting
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff
me
and
mike
goetz
that
actually
went
out
there
and
cleaned
up
the
front
yard
at
one
point
in
town
with
some
more
volunteers
from
the
area.
L
If
we
could
look
into
also
having
volunteers
from
the
community
look
into
possibly
working
with
the
city,
whenever
there's
issues
like
this
that
arise
or
like
paint,
peeling
off
of
homes
or
whatever
else,
citizens
that
are
in
need
of
help
either
mentally
or
if
it's
physically
or
whatever
it
might
be
high
yards
that
needs
to
be
mowed
elderly.
If
we
can
look
into
having
citizens
that
would
technically
care
and
would
be
able
to
work
with
the
city
to
go
and
get
some
of
these
issues
taken
care
of.
L
I
know
I
deal
with
the
city
issues
myself,
so
I
know
how
it
feels.
Sometimes,
when
the
city
is
all
on
you
and
you
feel
overwhelmed
with
the
the
permitting
process.
The
last
thing
plumbing
and
electrical
has
to
be
updated.
Even
an
empty
home,
that's
going
to
stay,
boarded
up
and
empty
until
the
remodel
is
done.
It
has
to
be
redone
completely
before
a
certain
timeline.
Now
I
know
the
city
works
with
the
citizens
on
trying
to
get.
L
You
know
more
time
here
and
there,
but
if
that
can
be
eliminated
as
a
key
timeline
time
point
that
would
be
great
as
well
as
heating
in
the
house.
If
a
house
is
going
to
be
used
as
storage
or
something
like
that
and
not
being
used
as
a
home,
a
person
to
stay
in
what
is
home,
what
does
the
housing
have
to
have
heating
in
it?
Actually,
so
if
we
can
look
into
a
couple
of
those
things,
thank
you.
O
Good
afternoon,
good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
I
was
coming
to
talk
about
item
10
on
the
the
agenda
and
it's
just
in
regards
to
the
council
of
well
the
city
and
the
mandates
of
permitting
build
buildings,
and
things
like
that.
That's
coming
into
play.
I
use
myself
for
an
example.
We
purchased
a
building
on
11th
and,
of
course,
we've
been
doing
the
process
of
trying
to
get
all
the
permits,
and
things
done
like
that.
O
We're
not
doing
anything
new
in
the
building
or
we're
going
to
go
back
in
really
and
put
it
put
up
walls
back
where
the
walls
were,
but
it
came
up
to
where
we
needed
to
have
plans
for
the
building
new
plans
done.
The
building
was
already
it
was
flooded,
is
what
happened
so
the
building
was
gutted
and
gutting
it
they
just
took
down.
All
of
the
sheetrock
took
down
all
the
installation
done
all
those
things
everything
electrical
panel
and
all
of
those
things
stayed
in
attack.
O
We
had
electrician
company
come
in
and
look
at
all
of
the
things
as
far
as
going
back
in
what
do
we
need
to
do
as
far
as
doing
it?
Everything
to
put
it
in
for
what
we're
trying
to
do.
They
said
everything
was
fine
as
far
as
the
electrical
check,
the
plugs
and
all
of
those
things,
but
then
came
in
that
we
needed
plans,
I'm
just
not
understanding,
and
why
are
plans
I
guess
needed
for
an
existing
building.
Is
that
something
that's
done?
O
O
We
understand
that
your
large
companies
bring
out
a
lot
of
tax
base,
but
when
you
look
at
your
tax
base,
I
think
a
lot
of
is
brought
from
small
businesses
such
as
ours
that
come
into
communities
that
put
business
in
that
put
taxes
in
we're
going
to
have
the
taxes
are
going
to
go
up.
I
know
that
was
something
that
was
said
in
the
last
meeting
about
the
tax
increase
and
things
like
that.
O
I
think
because
it
takes
a
little
bit
more,
so
not
looking
for
anything
to
get
around,
but
I
think
that
if
we
can
work
with
some
of
those
things
as
far
as
business,
small
business
have
to
put
out
more
money
in
order
to
just
get
the
businesses
like
again
with
plans
that
for
an
existing
business
that
the
city
already
has
the
plans
on
they
already
have
them.
They
had
it
when
the
building
was
built.
O
Things
like
that,
if
it's
not
anything
that
we're
going
to
tear
down
walls,
move
things
or
anything
like
that,
then
those
electrical
plans
hvac
plans.
If
everything
is
going
back
into
place
where
it
is
that's
one
of
the
questions
that
I
have
is
that
something
that's
going
to
be
required
for
all
businesses,
because
if
you
got
to
get
plans
redone,
you
know,
plans
can
get
really
really
expensive
for
a
commercial
business.
O
A
All
in
favor
I
want
to
pose
the
motion
carries
mr
city
manager.
May
I
have
the
reading
of
item
number
eight.
Please.
P
P
E
P
I
think
it's
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood.
I
don't
have
those
figures
in
front
of
me
somewhere
between
probably
150
and
200
000,
the
first
one
the
chief
can
come
forward.
That's
it's
going
to
be
a
retrofit
of
a
dump
truck
that
the
council's
already
approved,
and
then,
if
you
approve
this
second
one,
do
you
know
what
the
cost
was
that
person.
M
We
already
had
the
truck
that
fleet
magnus
was
retrofitting
the
cost
of
the
actual
tailgate.
The
liftgate
is
approximately
forty
thousand
dollars,
so
there's
a
cost
saving
there
by
having
the
vehicle
and
retrofitting
it
at
fleet,
and
it
got
moved
to
houston
last
friday
for
retrofitting
of
the
tailgate
to
general
truck
body.
E
M
M
E
P
D
G
Okay,
they
function
comparably.
However,
the
truck
that
we
first
initially
approved
is
simply
a
dump
truck
that
has
been
retrofitted
yes
to
with
a
lift
to
allow
in
emergencies,
to
pick
people
up
and
get
them
out
of
the
high
water.
It
is
a
dump
truck
retrofitted,
with
a
lift
right.
The
vehicle
that
we
looked
at
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
is
a
used
vehicle
that
is
designed
and
built
as
a
rescue
vehicle
right.
Q
J
M
All
the
electronics
has
been
raised,
the
intake
air
intake
and
everything
undercoating
to
prevent
water,
seepage
and
intrusion.
G
G
M
Bed
bound
wheelchair
bound,
which,
with
these
purchases
and
putting
these
units
in
service,
it's
gonna
greatly
reduce
our
actual
physical
manpower.
M
E
M
Absolutely
there
is
with
the
new
unit
that
we're
purchasing
is
coming
with
folding
seats,
which
will
allow
us
to
actually
not
remove
people
from
the
wheelchairs
it'll
be
a
12
foot
body.
We
can
put
the
seats
up,
we're
putting
tie
downs
where
we
can
physically
tie
down
the
wheelchairs
load
them
up
move
to
the
next.
M
Yes,
sir,
in
fact
we
during
amelda
that
was
a
definite
deal
and
unfortunately,
we
flooded
a
couple
fire
trucks,
three
of
them
to
the
exact
to
the
tune
of
180
90
000
in
repairs.
H
H
M
E
E
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
you
know
why
we
started
out
retroing
a
dump
truck,
and
now
we
shifted
to
this,
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
and
justify
the
the
the
increase
in
costs.
M
Well,
in
the
last
three
year,
but
last
two
three
year
budget
cycles,
we've
we've
actually
requested
the
seller
vehicle
in
our
budget
request
and
it
wasn't
approved.
So
this
isn't
something
new.
M
Plan
is
to
ask
for
two
more
high
water
vehicles,
or
at
least
one
more,
so
I
can
have
at
least
one
high
water
vehicle
per
district.
Okay.
R
R
R
M
I
can
tell
you
that
other
cities
have
accepted
surplus
vehicles
to
use
for
various
things.
High
water
included
and
the
cost
on
maintenance
was
astronomical.
M
Very
very
cost
prohibitive.
M
M
If
I
thought
the
program
worked,
absolutely
I'd
be
all
for
it,
but
I've
polled
and
seen
in
various
other
departments
that
it
just
doesn't
work,
because
it's
just
too
cost
prohibitive.
M
M
J
R
J
R
And
it
floods
out
and
it
it
can't
get
where
it
needs
to
go.
I
don't
know
how
you
can
know
ahead
of
time,
whether
or
not
it's
too
deep
or
not.
You
know,
I
hope
these
high
water
rescue
vehicles
make
a.
M
Well,
when
I'm
looking
at
a
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
dollars
of
taxpayers,
money
for
repair
on
three
fire
trucks
versus
retrofitting,
a
brush
truck
and
185
thousand
dollars
for
a
new
purchase,
I
think
long
term
there's
going
to
be
great
benefit
there.
A
M
Because
it
was
probably
anywhere
from
30
to
50
inches
of
water.
If
you
look
at
fire
trucks,
they're
pretty
high,
the
electronics
are
mounted
30
to
35
inches
up
on
a
rail,
and
it
was
above
that.
M
To
the
gentleman
that
spoke
earlier
waist
deep
water
is
not
uncommon
in
some
areas
of
our
city.
M
Yes,
ma'am
and
and
the
situation
on
transporting
the
stroke
victim
to
the
hospital
we
weren't
able
to
transport
that
person
in
a
med
unit
because
of
the
high
water,
so
I
approved
the
decision
to
load
them
in
the
engine
and
get
them
there
under
exigent
circumstances.
Thank
you.
I
have
a
question.
H
H
H
M
We
are,
we
also
have
a
dive
team
and
we
and
swift
water
rescue,
along
with
combination
with
bpd.
E
M
I
don't
know
that
you
can
get
one
brand
new.
This
is
the
ex-military
vehicles
that
councilman
gets
referred.
I
Yes,
just
speaking
from
personal
experiences
when
guys
are
on
calls,
sometimes,
especially
during
a
hurricane
or
flood
or
anything
like
that,
and
you
out
there,
you
just
have
to
make
a
decision
and
they
might
just
have
to
drive
a
fire
truck
through
36
inches
of
water
without
getting
permission.
But
if
you
have
somebody
in
a
stroke
victim
in
the
hospital,
you
know
we
don't
get
to
decide.
Well
we're
not
going
to
take
them
to
the
hospital
you're
out
there.
You
have
to
make
those
split.
I
Second
decisions
you
just
have
to
you
have
to
do
what
you
think
is
right
for
that
particular
time,
and
I
think
these
vehicles,
though
they're,
going
to
help
out
a
lot,
the
guy's
still
going
to
be
making
calls
on
the
fire
truck.
But
in
your
situation
like
where
you
were
flooded
and
could
not
get
out,
they
could
get
into
you
with
these
vehicles
with
these
type
of
vehicles.
A
A
P
Read
the
ordinance
it's
an
ordinance
entitled
an
ordinance
finding
certain
property
to
be
a
public
health
nuisance
and
ordering
abatement
authorizing
cleanup
authorizing
suit,
providing
for
severability
and
providing
for
a
penalty
and
our
public
health
director.
Kenneth
coleman
will
come
forward
and
walk
you
through
the
item
and
then
after
mayor
and
council,
if
we
could
have
the
public
hearing
and
then
after
the
public
hearing,
consider
approving
the
ordinance.
F
We've
been
dealing
with
this
property
june
of
20
2020
march
of
21,
and
now
we're
here
today,
and
you
guys
have
some
pictures
in
your
packet
as
to
what
we
or
what
we're
dealing
with
so
far
as
the
rolling
harborage
of
section
1004.001
rat
proofing
required.
F
It
shall
be
unlawful
for
any
person
who
owns
or
occupies
any
lot
of
premises
to
to
suffer
or
permit
lumber
boxes,
barrels,
loose
iron
or
other
materials.
They
may
become
a
harvest
for
rats
to
accumulate
or
maintain
on
a
lot
of
premise,
owned
or
occupied
by
such
person.
Unless
the
lumber
boxes,
barrels,
loose
iron
or
other
materials
described
above
shall
be
placed
on
supports,
neatly
stacked
and
elevated
at
least
two
feet
from
the
from
the
ground,
with
a
clear
intervening
space
between
to
prevent
the
harborage
of
rats,
excessive
litter.
F
F
F
It
should
be
unlawful
and
constitute
an
offense
for
a
person
to
dispose
of
litter,
except
in
a
container
as
defined
in
section
12.07.001
or
in
an
authorized

or
in
another

area.
Depository
or

designated

or
disposal
of
litter,
trash
garbage
and
waste,
and
the
last
one
we're
citing
him
on
is
weeds.
F
It
shall
be
unlawful
and
constitute
an
offense
and
creation
and
maintenance
of
a

for
any

feet
of
the
property
line
of
developed
property
to
a
greater
height
than
12
inches
on
an
average,
and
so
in
dealing
with
this
we're
just
trying
to
get
a
hold
of
what's
going
on
within
our
city
and
trying
not
to
let
it
get
out
of
hand.
A
If
you
are
here
to
speak
on
the
public
hearing
and
if
you
have
not
done
so,
please
go
to
the
back
of
the
room,
fill
out
the
green
slip
and
our
clerk
will
call
your
name
when
it's
time
for
you
to
speak,
the
green
light
will
come
on
for
you
to
begin
your
three
minutes
and
the
red
light
will
come
on
when
it's
time
for
you
to
stop.
Thank
you.
L
Back
again
so,
like
I
say
me
and
mr
getz
had
councilman,
my
guests
have
went
out
there
and
cleaned
up
the
property
before
and
then
after
that
volunteered
our
time,
and
there
was
more
citizens
that
actually
volunteer
the
prime
time.
So,
like
I
say,
I've
seen
the
property.
I've
dealt
with
issues
of
my
own
per
se,
also,
but
let's
remember
as
well.
L
So
make
sure
that,
if
we're
going
to
hold
citizens,
that's
why
I
say
be
polite
to
our
citizens,
as
well
as
citizens
helping
other
citizens
but
be
polite
to
the
citizens,
because
the
city
of
beaumont
is
an
actual
violation
of
their
own
ordinances
on
their
own
properties,
where
the
city
had
to
rent
disposal
of
boxes
that
the
city
had
to
then
take
time
and
cost
of
taxpayers
money
to
actually
clean
up
the
property
that
they
dirtied
on
their
own,
their
own
city
property,
as
well
as
there's
what
1350
langham,
which
is
the
city
of
beaumont's
water
department.
L
If
you
go
on
google
maps,
you'll
see
a
satellite
imagery
of
these
two
properties
and
there's
also
the
waste
disposal
off
of
the
net.
If
you
look
at
the
properties,
you'll
see
violations
that
the
city
actually
has
on
their
own
properties
to
the
same
rat
harborage
that
the
city
only
gives.
I
think
it
was
150
dollars
to
the
exterminators
per
year
in
2018.
Whenever
I
looked
it
up,
so
we're
not
spending
a
whole
bunch
for
rat
harborage.
If
we're
going
to
hold
citizens
to
the
same
standard.
L
S
R
We
filled
up
that
trailer.
It
was
almost
overflowing
the
sides.
This
was
all
stuff
just
in
the
front
yard.
We
didn't
even
get
to
the
backyard
we
we
made
a
dent
in
it,
but
we
didn't
get
rid
of
all
the
trash
and
garbage
in
the
front
yard.
In
fact,
the
occupants
told
us
there
are
things
that
they
wanted
to
keep
that.
R
R
I
don't
know
why
they're
doing
it
over
there,
but
it's
not
fair
to
the
neighborhood,
I'm
willing
to
work
with
citizens
that
have
a
need,
but
this
isn't
that
this
is
something
else.
This
is
either
hoarding
or
something
else
is
going
on
over
there
and
it
is
a
public
nuisance,
and
I
know
that
this
occurs
in
other
parts
of
the
cities
and
we've
acted
appropriately
like
that
to
declare
it
as
as
such,
and
what
also
bothers
me
about
this
is,
I
believe,
they've
been
cited.
A
number
of
times
to
appear
in
municipal
court.
R
J
P
Is
the
oaks
is
assigned
to
the
oaks
historic
district,
so
we
have
six
primarily
there's
more
inspectors
working
the
south
end
the
north
end,
because
the
older
areas
of
the
city
with
more
issues
and
then
one
for
sure
assigned
to
the
west
end
as
needed.
So
by
law.
P
So
you
give
people
an
opportunity
to
correct
it,
and
our
staff
is
working
with
people
every
day
to
do
that,
and
there
are
times
like
this,
for
example,
where
you
give
everyone
the
benefit
of
doubt,
you
try
to
work
with
them.
They
don't
clean
it
up.
Then
you'll
move
forward
with
this
process,
which
we've
done
more
in
the
last
couple
years,
especially
a
little
before
covid
than
we
have
in
many
years.
P
There
are
a
lot
of
spots
like
this
councilman
samuel
mayor
pro
tim
samuel,
some
other
staff
members,
mr
cooper,
mr
boone,
went
out
today
drove
around
for
probably
an
hour
and
a
half
looking
at
different
spots,
we
probably
drove
by
10
particular
locations
where
you
would
say
they're
hoarding
I
mean
there's
just
stuff
everywhere
in
their
yard.
Driveway,
it's
a
mess,
so
I
was
going
to
speak
to
a
little
later.
P
P
So
again,
back
to
those
six
inspectors
and
then
hearing
from
y'all,
I
think
we
need
to
do
more,
so
we're
gonna.
I
think
our
plan
is
to
try
to
hire
two
additional
employees,
have
eight
and
do
something
different
come
back
every
day
and
start
entering
into
our
system
that
you
approved
our
new
computer
software
and
start
every
day
which
hopefully
won't
be.
It
won't
be
real
time,
but
we
could
get
it
posted
by
the
next
day.
P
Everything
we
wrote
up
the
previous
day.
Put
it
online,
give
the
address
what
violations
were
found.
What
actions
were
taking?
I
mean
you
have
to
continue
to
update
it.
Did
they
abate
it?
Did
we
go
clean?
It
up.
Did
we
file
charges?
When
did
we
file
charges
but
post
that
online
or
in
our
system
every
day?
And
again
we
may
be
one
day
behind,
but
that's
our
plan.
We
know
we
need
to
ramp
it
up.
I
think
y'all
are
interested
in
seeing
more
our
inspectors
work
very
hard.
P
I
can
tell
you
out
there
in
the
elements
every
day
they
do
a
really
good
job,
but
it's
not
as
easy
as
people.
Think
because
again
you
have
to
give
people
notice,
they
have
an
opportunity
to
abate
it.
So
there's
you
know
a
good
10
days
to
14
days
right
there
by
time.
You
start
it
and
give
them
that
opportunity
and
then,
if
they
don't
do
it,
sometimes
we
can
go
clean
it
up
or
sometimes
we
have
to
hire
a
contractor.
P
K
P
P
Yeah,
when
you,
when
you
have
court
hearings,
for
example
mr
boone
mentioned
where
they
don't
show
up
three
times,
I
mean
that's
problematic,
the
council
could
say:
look
you
don't
show
up.
One
time
give
people
the
benefit
of
doubt.
They
may
have
emergencies
and
so
forth.
Maybe
the
second
time
that
triggers
starting
this
process
where
we
come
and
try
to
get
the
council
to
declare
to
public
nuisance,
you
could
do
that.
Try
to
speed
it
up,
we're
open
to
other
suggestions.
We
we
don't
like
seeing
this
either.
R
You
know
when
I
was
practicing
law.
If
you
didn't
show
up
in
court,
there
were
consequences.
Now
I
understand
this
is
municipal
court
and
judge.
Lively
is
not
able
to
inflict
the
same
consequences
that
a
county
court
judge
or
district
court
judge
can
do.
But
I
like
your
idea
that
you
just
mentioned
you
know
if
they
should
don't
show
up
once.
Okay,
maybe
something
happened,
but
that
second
time
I
think
it's
you
know,
go
ahead
and
trigger
the
start
of
the
declaration
of
public
nuisance
process.
U
P
And
there's
that
I
don't
know
what
it
is
10
or
so
we
know
where
some
of
these
locations
are,
where
we'll
go
through
this
process,
and
and
that's
why
we're
here
recommended
we
agree
at
the
same
time
it
could
be
back
like
it
is,
and
a
matter
of
a
month
or
two.
We
just
have
to
stay
on
it
and
continue
maybe
to
come
and
make
this
recommendation
again
and
again.
K
A
I
S
Well,
the
ordinance
that
you
just
well
the
ordinance
that's
before
you
speaks
to
authorizing
the
city
attorney
to
file
a
case
in
the
district
court
to
have
the
nuisance
abated
and
that
either
we
will
do
it
and
charge
it
back
to
his
property
or,
if
he's
ordered
to
do
it,
you
know
he'll
have
an
opportunity
to
do
it,
but
do
we
do
it?
We
put
a
lien
on
the
property.
I
And
it
comes
down
to
that.
That's
another
long
process.
We
approve
it
today
and
then
by
I
mean
when
you
send
it
to
district
court.
I
imagine
that's
going
to
take
a
while
to
to
get
to
the
point
where
we
can
abate
it
ourself
and
put
a
lien
on
the
property.
Here's
the
process,
okay
and,
in
the
meantime
they
can.
If
they
come
through
and
say,
decide
to
clean
it
up,
then
everything
just
goes
away.
I
R
R
S
R
R
Right
so
yeah
so.
K
Thank
you,
mayor
back
to
what
councilmember
durio
was
talking
about.
So
assuming
they
go
clean
this
property
up,
it's
gonna
be
just
a
matter
of
time
before
we
see
it
again,
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
see
is
if
we
could
not
look
at
these
city
ordinances
to
see
what
we
could
do
to
kind
of
strengthen
them,
a
little
bit
give
us
more
teeth
on
making
sure
these
repeat,
offenders
don't
continue
to
come
back.
S
J
A
P
This
is
lindsay
here
and
I
don't
want
to
steal
your
thunder.
You
can
look
at
all
those
codes
which
are
adopted
by
you,
the
city,
council
and
boyd
meyers
in
the
audience,
our
chief
building
official-
and
this
is
a
part
of
the
planning
and
community
development
department
which
mr
boone
is
over,
so
glad
you
requested
this.
Please
ask
all
the
questions
you
may
have,
because
the
city
gets
blamed
quite
a
bit
for
holding
up
construction
being,
maybe
difficult
in
some
cases.
P
I
will
tell
you
those
are
the
codes
you
adopt
once
you
adopt
them.
Our
job
is
to
enforce
them
and
there
are
areas
where
our
staff
is
making
an
interpretation
and
working
with
the
legal
department.
We
don't
always
get
it
right,
believe
me
and
then,
when
we
don't,
someone
can
appeal
to
a
board
that
you
appoint
to
hear
that
it
is
easier.
Just
let
me
finish
this.
It
is
easier,
probably
to
go,
build
something
in
some
of
the
surrounding
cities.
P
Around
beaumont,
a
lot
of
those
cities
haven't
adopted
these
codes
and
the
ones
that
maybe
have
they
might
have
one
inspector
without
naming
names
in
some
area,
cities
within
10
miles
of
you
know,
beaumonts
I
may
have
one
inspector
or
two:
we
have
inspectors
for
all
the
different
trades
plumbing
electrical
mechanical,
you
name
it,
and
so
yes,
we're
out
there
trying
to
do
the
proper
inspections
and-
and
we
struggle
quite
a
bit
where
we
sit
down
and
talk
about.
How
can
we
make
it
easier
to
do
business
in
beaumont?
P
P
P
And
sometimes
it's
expensive,
if
you
hire
people
can
hire
the
right
engineering,
firm,
architectural,
firm.
That
know
what
they're
doing
they're
going
to
submit
paint
plans
that
are,
you
know,
probably
90,
correct
or
close
to
where
you
can
get
them.
You
know,
submit
it
and
return
back
when
you
try
to
do
it
yourself
or
you
hire
someone.
That's
not
maybe
reputable
you're
going
to
have
problems,
and
we
need
to
talk
about
that
today
again.
Ask
any
questions
you
have.
P
Sometimes
we
sit
around
even
go
as
far
as
what,
if
we
didn't
have
these
codes
and
it
was
pretty
much
wide
open,
we
don't
really
want
to
get
in
your
business.
You
go
hire
a
professional.
We
wish
they
could
go,
hire
a
professional
that
signs
off
on
it
and
they'd
be
responsible,
but
the
first
time
you
have
an
injury,
a
fire.
P
What
do
people
do?
Did
they
build
it
to
code
and
who
gets
blamed?
The
city
of
beaumont
gets
blamed,
no
one
else,
councilman
samuel
and
now,
when
we
were
riding
around
today,
we
drove
by
a
house
that
literally
literally
collapsed
on
itself
to
the
ground.
It
was
a
two-story
home
over
here
in
charlton
parlor
just
collapsed
to
the
ground.
P
J
P
Fire
hydrants:
do
we
have
how
many
fire
stations
do
we
have?
What
are
our
response
times
within
the
fire
department?
It
all
goes
into
a
rating
that
affects
insurance
rates
for
homeowners
and
for
residential
homeowners
and
also
business
owners.
So
there's
a
lot
at
play
here.
But
again
I
appreciate
y'all
asking
it's
easy
to
blame
the
city
of
beaumont
when
you're
something's
held
up
man
they're
holding
me
up.
I
can't
get
an
answer.
P
Well,
90-something
of
the
time
when
y'all
check
into
it
and
y'all,
do
you
listen
to
a
citizen
and
then
you
have
to
say
well
let
me
I
hear
you,
but
let
me
get
the
other
side
well,
the
other
side
is
they
didn't
submit
the
proper
plans
from
the
beginning
or
they
hired
someone.
That's
probably
not
skilled
enough
to
interpret
these
codes
and
know
what
they're
doing
and
they're
difficult.
There
look
look
how
many
there
are
there's,
probably
10
of
them
right
there
and
there
some
of
them
are
this
thick.
P
So
I
wanted
to
state
that
up
front
and
just
tell
you
challenge
us:
ask
all
the
questions
you
want.
We
can
answer
them
or
tell
you
why
something
works
sometimes
from
the
outside.
Looking
in
it's
like
man,
that's
pretty
burdensome,
sometimes
we're
required
by
either
federal
state
law
to
do
certain
things
other
times
it's
because
the
council's
adopted
these
various
codes.
T
Thank
you,
mr
manager,
and
just
echoing
that
I
would
this
is,
we
think,
a
good
opportunity
to
share
our
process,
which
is
a
complicated
process.
I
mean
not
even
to
get
into
the
code
books.
Of
course
we
don't
have
the
time
here,
but
it
is
a
complicated
process.
We're
always
looking
for
ways
to
improve
that
process.
So
I
would,
I
would
you
know,
encourage
all
as
we
go
through
this
or
even
afterwards.
You
know
always
feel
free
to
reach
out.
T
Ask
questions
during
this
feel
free
to
to
stop
me
and
again,
there's
always
room
for
improvement.
There's
no
doubt
it's
just
a
matter
of
you
know
how
do
we
we're
charged
with
enforcing
these
codes
and
ordinances
for
a
variety
of
reasons
we'll
talk
about
here,
but
there's
always
room
for
improvement
so,
but
with
that
codes,
why
do
we
have
them
going
to
start
at
the
beginning,
almost
as
old
as
cities?
T
T
Okay,
we're
not
that
stringent,
that's
1772
bc.
So
about
four.
Four
thousand
years
ago
the
bible
has
a
has
a
as
a
code
in
it
as
well.
It
just
says:
put
up
a
parapet
wall
on
your
roof.
So
if
somebody
falls
off
you're
not
to
blame
okay,
so
more
seriously
codes.
Why
do
we
have
them?
Probably,
first
and
foremost,
it's
safety,
I
would
say
most
homeowners,
people
investing,
maybe
in
the
biggest
investment
that
they
have
their
home
or
their
business.
T
T
That
was
under
a
code
back
from
the
70s
and
80s,
so
it
was
built
to
code,
we
believe,
but
all
that
will
come
out
in
the
coming
years.
Probably
we
don't
have
many
building
collapses
in
the
united
states
because
we
have
the
codes
we
have.
The
picture
in
front
of
you,
I
believe,
is
in
china
nightclub
fires.
We
still
have
them
from
time
to
time,
but
we
don't
have
as
many
or
they
aren't
as
extensive
as
maybe
they
once
were
in
the
united
states
because
of
the
codes
we
have
so
again.
T
Moving
on
again,
as
I
mentioned
before,
investing
in
a
community
whether
it's
local,
an
individual
with
a
home
or
you
know,
you've
got
a
international
corporation.
That's
going
to
invest
in
our
community
they're,
going
to
expect
that
that
investment
meets
certain
codes
and
expectations
and
then
again
standards.
So
if
you
have
whether
it's
somebody,
local
or
from
another
community
nearby
from
out
of
state,
they
want
to
everybody
needs
to
play
by
the
same
rules.
So
again,
it's
standardization!
T
I
won't
go
through
all
these,
but
these
are
the
international
codes
adopted.
We've
got
many
of
them
here,
residential
building,
existing
fire
energy
conservation
that
one
I'll
point
out,
because
again,
energy
conservation
sounds
like
something
that
you
know.
Why
are
we
doing
this?
Well,
one
reason
is
the
state
of
texas
says
we
have
to
do
that.
So
we
we've
adopted
the
international
energy
conservation
code,
property
maintenance
code.
You
know
we
use
that
for
a
variety
of
reasons:
international
swimming
pool
and
spa
code,
national,
electric
code,
icc,
standard
windstorm,
so
chris
there's.
R
T
Right,
so
if
you
you
have
the
basic.
The
primary
international
code
is
for
new
construction,
but
if
you
have
an
existing
building,
you're
able
to
refer
to
that
code,
which
allows
the
bit
some
more
discretion
and
some
variation
in
terms
of
how
to
deal
with
it,
because
if
you,
if
you
took
say,
for
example,
hotel,
beaumont
and
said
okay
comply
with
the
international
code,
it's
not
going
to
do
it.
T
T
T
And
then,
as
the
manager
mentions
iso,
what
is
iso?
It's
the
insurance
service
office
and
they
that
organization
helps
to
set
insurance
rates,
and
so
they
come
to
us
every
five
years
and
they
do
a
pretty
extensive
audit
and
they're
going
to
ask:
are
you
do
you
have
the
latest
codes
adopted?
How
many
inspectors
do
you
have?
How
many
inspections
do
they
do
on
a
given
day?
T
What
agencies
departments
have
codes
that
they
need
enforced
as
a
permit
goes
through
the
process.
Of
course
the
city
has
building
codes.
We
have
a
flood
ordinance.
We
have
zoning
and
planning
requirements,
of
course,
there's
a
fire
code,
public
health,
water
and
water
quality
engineering
and
signs.
But
then
we
also
interact
with
other
agencies,
so
text
dot.
T
We
have
to
interact
with
them,
especially
with
curb
cuts,
drainage,
district,
six
drainage
is
always
an
issue,
so
we
work
with
them
to
make
sure
that
things
are
designed
properly.
Tabc
and
liquor
and
permits,
and
then
state
of
texas
windstorm,
we
want
to
participate
in
windstorm
pool
at
the
national
level.
We've
got
to
comply
with
those
codes
and
then,
of
course,
the
american
with
disability
act
ada
codes.
Those
are
required,
of
course,
by
the
federal
and
state
entities.
So
what
are
some
common
permitting
issues?
T
The
manager
alluded
to
some
and
and-
and
that's
right
on
is
the
biggest
issue,
of
course,
is
anything
any
kind
of
work,
starting
without
a
permit,
so
without
checking
with
zoning
or
permits
or
building
codes,
that's
always
an
issue.
As
the
manager
mentioned.
We
have
a
lot
of
smaller
cities
in
our
region.
T
We
have,
of
course,
rural
areas,
maybe
that
are
outside
of
city's
jurisdiction.
That
may
fall
into
a
county's
jurisdiction
and
and
as
the
manager
mentioned
they
may,
they
may
have
adopted
a
lot
of
these
codes,
but
they
may
not
have
the
staff
to
fully
enforce
them.
I'm
not
I'm
not
calling
them
out
or
knocking
I'm
just
saying.
T
T
You
know
fixtures
things
like
that.
That's
what
they're
looking
at,
let's
say
in
a
blank
shopping
center
space.
What
they
haven't
been
thinking
about
is,
do
I
have
a
grease
trap,
you
know:
do
I
have
a
floor
sink?
Do
I
have
two
compartment
sinks?
Do
I
have
all
the
things
that
are
normally
needed
to
open
that
restaurant?
T
Feel
free
to
ask
questions
if
you'd
like
as
we
go,
it's
fine.
A
And
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
asked
because
it
was,
if
you
go
to
the
slide
before
when,
when
you
stated
projects
that
start
be
before
zoning
is
checked
or
permits
are
secure.
R
A
There
there
are
a
lot
of
calls
that
I
know
of,
whereas
people
will
start
a
project
without
getting
a
permit
and
then
once
the
inspector
goes
out
and
then
you're
halfway
there
you
haven't
gotten
a
permit
and
then
you're
cited
for
it
and,
like
the
city
manager
said
then
they're
saying
the
city
messed
me
up
on
my
project
or
the
city
messed
me
up
on
my
job.
So
could
you
please
entertain?
T
Yes,
ma'am
and
I'll
go
through
the
permitting
process
here
in
just
a
minute:
okay,
but
you're
right,
it's
it's
when
when
things
get
started
and
again,
our
biggest
issue
is
expectations.
T
You
know
kind
of
knowledge
of
what
all
is
involved
and
again
we
expect
that
maybe
a
small
restaurant,
you
know
they
don't
we
don't
expect
them
to
know
all
this
and
and
and
we're
not
saying,
you've
got
to
have
some
big
city,
architect
and
big
city
contractor
come
in
and
do
the
work.
That's
not
what
we're
saying
at
all.
T
How
we've
we've
we've
tried
to
bridge
that
gap
as
best
we
can,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
one
thing
you'll
hear
me
say
again
and
again
is:
please
call
us
early
and
often
because
the
sooner
we
can
have
that
conversation
and
again
we'll
say
it
even
if
it's
on
a
net
your
ideas
on
a
napkin,
that's
fine,
because
we
would
rather
talk
to
you
early
than
late,
because
when
it's
late,
money's
been
spent,
investments
have
been
made,
and
it's
just
it's
not
good
for
anybody.
T
Real
quickly
into
it,
it
was
an
at
us
and
again
this
is
a
big
city
developer,
actually
harris
county,
but
anyway,
yes,
they
they
had
come
in
and
were
ready
to
close
on
a
house,
and
they
had
called
for
an
electrical
inspection
back
in
may
and
was
denied
because
they
had
used
a
product
that
had
not
really
been
used
since
the
1970s.
T
It
was
not
really.
If
you
look
in
the
international
residential
code,
it
says
it
says
no
in
the
current
nec
the
national
electric
code,
it
says
no,
the
new
codes,
I
believe
it
says
yes,
but
you've
got
to
do
a
b
and
c
well,
we
were
never
able
to
inspect
the
wiring
back
in
may.
In
fact,
we
turned
we
denied.
We
said
this
wiring
will
not
work
well
fast
forward
from
may
to
august
into
july.
Really
and
they're.
T
Calling
us
saying
well,
folks,
are
ready
to
move
in
on
friday
and
it's
like
well,
it
just
puts
us,
it
puts
everybody
in
a
bad
position.
So
now
we
we,
you
know
we
scurried
and
we're.
We
are
scurrying
to
figure
out
okay.
How
can
we
make
it
work?
And
and
so
the
contractor
again
kind
of
new
to
the
area
you
know,
moving
forward
he's
got
several
other
houses
underway.
I
think
you
know
we'll
work
with
him.
It
was
just
the
two
that
were
that
we're
kind
of
caught
in
the
middle.
So
that's
not.
T
T
Restaurant
bars,
I
think,
for
the
sake
of
time,
I
won't
go
into
these
slides,
but
you
know
again:
how
do
we
try
to
improve
the
situation.
T
T
Next
gis
and
city
works.
If
you
wanted
to
know
what
your
zoning
was
ownership
things
like
that
going
back
10
years
ago,
you
would
have
to
come
down
to
the
city
and
we
would
unroll
paper
plans
and
paper
maps
and
figure
it
all
out.
Now,
with
gis,
we
have
these
maps
that
are
online,
and
so
you
can
really
from
anywhere
look
up
what
your
zoning
address
lot
configuration
is,
etc.
T
But
if
you
see
that
long
list
on
the,
I
guess
be
the
right
side
of
the
screen,
you
know
that's
that's
an
example
of
things
that
got
it
have
to
be
looked
at
and
checked
off
for
for
a
commercial
permit
and
if
you
look
to
the
left
of
the
screen,
those
are
all
sub
permits.
So
if
you
have
a
general
permit
and
then
you
have
electrical
plumbing
mechanical,
etc.
T
So
it's
it's
been
a
great
improvement
in
terms
of
keeping
all
that
straight
straight.
This
is
just
a
screenshot
of
cityworks
the
application
screen.
So
an
individual,
a
contractor,
an
engineer,
an
architect
from
here
anywhere-
can
go
online
and
apply
for
whether
it's
a
planning
case
or
a
building
case
or
a
building
permit,
rather
also
our
departments
out
in
the
field
can
use
the
city
work,
data
which
is
much
more
detailed
to
see
where
flood
plains
are
where
water
lines
are,
where
other
cases
are
so
engineering
knows
what
planning
and
zoning
is
doing.
A
Okay,
so
I'm
sorry,
so
if
I'm
citizen
number
one
I'm
going
to
the
second
floor
and
I
would
like
to
change
all
of
my
windows
out
in
my
house.
Yes,
I
just
started
changing
my
windows
out
and
inspector
pass
by
and
says:
do
you
have
a
permit.
A
A
T
A
A
T
Right
yeah
there
are,
there
isn't
there
are
exceptions
in
the
code
where
you
don't
need
a
permit,
so
it's
more
like
maintenance,
so
painting
and
tiling-
and
you
know
replacing
a
wood.
You
know
rotten
board
here
and
there
boyd.
Can
you
think
of
anything
else?
It's
pretty
minor
tiling.
You
know
cabinets
kind
of
minor
stuff,
but
most
work
requires
a
permit.
H
C
A
N
T
P
The
question
so
those
are
those
are
really
good
questions
and
then
what
we
ought
to
do,
though,
is
what
you
ought
to
do
is
if
there's
things
that
you
can't
exclude
things
in
the
codes
that
you
adopt,
that
you
don't
think
make
any
sense.
If
the
city
attorney
in
his
office
recommends,
you
know
it's
not
going
to
create
other
issues
for
us,
maybe
without
our
iso
rating,
so
you
can
do
you
can
make
local
exceptions
and
things
again
that
don't
make
sense,
you
ought
to
try
to
take
them
out.
S
T
And
I
think
you
know
lindsay
we'll
probably
admit
we
don't
get
many
permits
to
change
out
fixtures
and
we're
not
we're
not
really
driving
around.
Looking
for
people
changing
out
fixtures.
T
T
A
T
I
Chris,
yes,
somebody
asked
a
question
about.
If
you
had
to
have
a
licensed
plumber,
I
understood
that
you
didn't
have
to
have
a
license.
Plumber
like
as
a
citizen,
I
can
pull
the
plumbing
permit
long
as
the
work
passes.
Cold
is.
V
You
live
so
the
way
the
clerks
do
it
is.
You
have
to
give
us
provide
us
your
driver's
license.
We
go
to
jefferson,
county
appraisal
district,
we
make
sure
it
is
your
homestead,
and
if
it
is,
then
you
are
allowed
to
do
any
work
to
your
home
by
pulling
a
permit.
If
it
is
not
your
homestead,
you
are
required
to
hire
licensed
and
bonded
contractors.
T
So
again,
as
I
mentioned
before,
you
know,
how
do
we
improve
the
situation,
pre-development
meetings
and
again
improving
expectations
communication,
so
this
is.
This
is
actually
a
pre-development
meeting
from
last
week
you
can
see:
we've
got
a
building
code
official,
mr
jackson,
from
public
health
is
there
we've
got
our
chief
condina
is
there?
We've
got
somebody
from
planning
and
zoning
and
up
on
the
screen,
I
think
we
have
water
and
water
quality
as
well
as
the
applicant.
T
I
believe
it's
a
cookie
store
and,
and
and
the
idea
is
we-
we
started
this
about
10
or
so
years
ago.
Again,
the
idea
is,
we
want
to
meet
with
you
as
early
and
as
often
as
possible
to
try
and
avoid
surprises
and
expectations.
So
we
do
these.
Every
thursday
morning
we
typically
do
about
three
with
kovid.
T
We
we
actually,
I
think
we
have
seven
staffers
down
with
covid
or
coveted
quarantine
right
now,
so
we're
doing
a
lot
of
this
online
or
zoom
or
ms
teams
so,
but
the
idea
is
yen
is
to
is
to
get
the
applicants
in
so
we
can
identify
any
potential
issues
early.
So
we
have
no
surprises,
as
as
we
try
to
get
closer
to
getting
open.
T
So
how
else
do
we
try
to
improve
the
situation
again?
Pro
development
philosophy
I
mean
in
general,
our
job
is
to
enforce
these
codes
and
ordinances,
but
with
any
codes
and
ordinances,
there's
always
gray
area
room
for
interpretation,
not
in
every
aspect,
but
in
some
aspects,
and
so
we
do
our
best.
If,
if,
if
there's
a
gray
area,
we
we
try
to
err
on
the
side
of
the
developer,
the
builder,
the
homeowner
and
again
it
was
a
question
was
asking
about.
Is
the
information
posted
online?
This
is
just
one
portion
of
the
screenshot.
T
And
we
have
a
lot
of
information
posted
online
about
what
what's
needed
and
again
with
restaurants
and
bars
being
a
kind
of
a
common
issue.
We
we
try
to
you
know
include
as
many
of
these
checklists
and
and
flyers
that
we
can
get
out
as
as
possible
and
then,
as
we
talked
about
you
know,
we
some
codes
and
ordinances
can
be
eliminated.
Some
can
have
local
exceptions,
but
state
requires
most
international
codes
and
windstorm
ada
is
required.
T
We've
talked
about
the
flood
ordinance,
we
don't
have
to
have
a
flood
ordinance,
but
if
we
don't
have
one
citizens
cannot
buy
flood
insurance
and
we
can
lessen
enforce
enforcement,
but
we
do.
We
are
subject
to
iso
and
fema
audits
from
time
to
time
again.
I
won't
go
through
all
of
these,
but
this
is
a
general
overview
of
the
permitting
process
and
again
just
a
real.
I
will
real
quickly
I'll
go
through
this
as
an
example
of
a
new
restaurant.
So
what
are
the
steps
new
pre-development
meeting?
T
Hopefully
again,
the
problem
is,
if
they
don't
call
us
for
those
meetings,
they
tend
to
be
riskier
or
have
more
issues
submitting
commercial
new
construction.
Permit
plans:
what
kind
of
plans
do
we
need
for
a
new
restaurant,
a
comm
check
energy
code,
worksheet
again
energy
code
mandated
by
the
state?
We
need
a
site
plan.
T
We
need
a
landscape
plan
again.
This
is
new
construction,
civil
drawings
foundation
plan,
structural
drawings,
drainage
plan,
mep
plans,
those
are
mechanical
electrical
plumbing
floor
plan,
architectural
drawings,
demolishing
if
it's
a
for
demolition
for
commercial
structure
structures,
asbestos
survey
is
required
prior
to
demolition.
So
the.
N
Size
of
the
structure
we
go
by
the
state
of
texas
architectural
board
and
the
engineering
board
as
far
as
their
tables
that
they
have
for
the
size
of
the
building.
We
also
have
in
our
ordinance
that
anything
over
5,
000
square
feet
or
more
is
required
to
be
engineered
and
or
architectural
drawings,
depending
on
what
the
occupancy
classification
is.
N
N
J
N
We
go
by
the
state
regulations,
we
go
by
the
tables
in
our
code
books
that
we've
adopted
and
also
it
really
depends
on
if
it's
existing
or
if
it's
brand
new.
Sometimes
we
can
go
into
the
existing
building
code
because
there
are
trade-offs
in
there
to
where
we
can
maybe
help
somebody
get
into
a
building.
If
it
was
a
restaurant
before
and
it's
a
restaurant
again,
sometimes
we
can,
they
can
go
in
there
without
having,
for
example,
sprinklers.
N
Sometimes
if
the
occupancy
classification
was
more
than
100
people
before
we
can,
it
can
be
grandfathered
in
sometimes
otherwise
they
might
have
to
put
a
sprinkler
system
in.
So
there's
there's
several
areas
that
we
have
to
a
checklist
that
we
have
to
go
by
to
determine
what
they
would
be
required
to
do.
N
Well,
to
go
further
into
it
all
assembly,
educational
and
institutional
occupancies.
All
plans
are
required
to
have
architectural
and
or
engineered
drawings
and
as
far
as
the
others
again,
we
have
to
go
by
that
chart.
But
in
our
ordinance
we
have
anything
over
five
thousand
square
feet
is
required
to
be
designed
by
a
professional,
whether
it
be
just
an
engineer
or
an
architect
and
an
engineer,
and
that's
in
chapter
24
of
our
code
of
ordinances
that
we've.
N
T
Okay,
so
these
are
the
plans
we
would
need
to
apply
for
the
permit.
So
during
the
plan
review
process,
what
are
what
are
the
different
divisions
and
departments
looking
for
again
planning
and
zoning
is
looking
at
zoning
flood
setbacks,
landscaping,
sidewalk
sign.
I
notice
on.
I
note
on
the
zoning
you
know.
If
you
miss
a
deadline
for
planning
and
zoning,
you
may
have
to
wait
another
month
and
you
know
we're
asked
from
time
to
time.
Well,
hey.
T
Can
we
hurry
that
up
or
can
we
get
it
on
the
next
agenda
for
a
lot
of
things
or
cases
types?
The
state
requires
a
15-day
notification.
We've
got
to
put
it
in
the
newspaper
so
because
of
notification
reasons
we
cannot,
you
know
kind
of,
add,
add
certain
things
to
the
planning
and
zoning
agenda
water
department,
they're.
T
Looking
for
things
like
plumbing
plans,
sinks
floor
drains
tie
into
grease
traps,
fire
department
is
looking
for
sprinkler
system
depending
upon
the
size,
occupancy
type
fire
alarms,
fire
suppression,
hood
systems,
building
codes,
looking
for
codes
of
course,
comm
check,
windstorm
health
department
plans
for
plumbing
hand,
sinks
and
floor
drains.
Dd6
drainage
is
looking
for
drainage
plans.
Of
course,
engineering
department
looks
for
civil
drawings,
drainage,
for
compliance
with
parking,
driveways,
ada
and
other
chapters
of
the
ordinances
and
then
other
agencies
again
txdot,
I
mentioned
they.
T
They
review
driveway
permits
on
on
state
maintained
areas
and
then
next,
in
terms
of
the
process,
you
know,
plans
off
plans
to
review
us
often
are
have
markups
that
need
changes.
So
we
have
to
wait
for
revisions
to
move
forward
once
the
fees
are
paid
and
the
permit
is
issued.
We
kind
of
move
on
to
the
the
plan
review
and
construction
process.
Again,
we've
looked
at
the
screen
again
from
city
works.
T
Construction,
rather
so
the
let's
say
the
general
contractor
can
then
start
get
getting
with
their
subcontractors
electrical
plumbing
mechanical
to
pull
their
permits.
So
this
on
that
same
screen,
as
mentioned
earlier,
we've
got
the
the
sub
permits
that
are
off
to
the
left
associated
with
the
the
main
permits.
T
And
again,
in
terms
of
inspections,
these
are
inspections
that
would
be
conducted
during
the
course
of
the
construction
foundation
frame
and
wall
ceiling
cover
and
final
electrical
temporary
pole
rough
end,
pre-final
and
final.
These
are
all
steps
that
have
to
be
done.
Plumbing
inspections,
including
rough
end,
water,
sewer
line
top
out
and
final
mechanical,
including
rough
end,
duct
cover
refrigerator,
coolers
and
final
fire
inspections,
health
inspections,
including
final
water
quality
inspections.
That
would
look
at
things
like
grease
trap
or
grease
trapper
sample
wells,
manholes,
backflow,
preventers,
landscape
inspection
and
zoning
would
include,
of
course,
landscaping.
T
Civil
inspection
would
be
driveways
grading
site,
cleanup,
ada
sidewalks,
so
those
are
all
just
inspection
steps
for
a
new
construction
project
and
once
all
those
have
been
taken
care
of,
we
are
looking
for
an
energy
code
certificate
to
comply
with
the
energy
code,
windstorm
certificate
to
comply
with
windstorm
and
then,
of
course,
with
it
being
a
restaurant,
we're
looking
for
the
the
health
food
certificate
and,
once
all
that's
done,
then
we
have
our
co
issue.
T
So
it's
it's
not
it's
not
pretty,
but
that's
that's
the
process,
and
with
that
are
there
any
questions.
H
H
I
think
a
thing
that
often
investors
complain
about
is
you
have
to
be
there
from
eight
to
five
the
weight
on
engineering?
You
have
to
be
eight
to
five
to
wait
on
electricity.
You
have
to
be
there
from
eight
to
five.
You
know
an
investor,
a
business
owner,
that's
a
long
time
to
tell
them
pay
somebody
to
sit
there
to
wait
on.
You
know
somebody
to
come.
I
think
it'll
probably
be
better
suited.
If
we
can
give
them,
maybe
a
shorter
time
block
or
we'll
come
between
two
and
three.
H
You
know
I
think
that'll
be
a
lot
more.
You
know
reasonable
for
investors,
some
schedule
time
versus
telling
them
be
there
from
eight
to
five.
I've
been
in
the
situation
before
in
the
past
and
having
to
be
there
for
eight
to
five
when
there's
so
many
other
projects
you
have
going
on.
That
can
be
kind
of
strenuous.
H
T
We
can
certainly
look
into
it,
it's
it's
and-
and
I
I
get
it
I
know
it's
like
calling
the
cable
guy
and
you
have
to
wait
half
a
day.
It's
and
what
we
try
to
do,
I
think,
is
have
some
direct
communication
with
cell
phones
between
the
inspectors.
So
we
could
look
at
seeing
it.
We
could
ramp
that
up.
We
are,
you
know
we
do
have
a
limited
number
of
inspectors,
and-
and
sometimes
you
say,
okay,
I've
got
10
inspections
today,
no
problem,
I
can
kind
of
break
that
up
into
hours.
T
H
And
I
still
think
the
four-hour
window,
I
still
think
it.
I
would
like
to
see
it
be
a
little
bit
more,
maybe
an
hour
basis
because,
like
I
said
you
can
have
an
investor
in
from
out
of
town
and
that's
a
stretch.
You
know
if
they're
driving
four
hours
back
to
austin-
or
you
know,
that's
a
stretch
to
tell
them.
You
need
to
be
here
from
eight
to
twelve.
H
V
Of
seven,
and
just
just
to
give
you
an
example
of
what's
going
on.
A
H
Another
question:
when
we're
doing
inspections
like
let's
just
say
we
go
out
and
one
of
our
inspectors
approves
a
particular
project
and
then
we
have
someone
else
come
out
and
say
well,
this
can't
happen
because
of
abcd
do
these
inspectors
have
a
checklist
that
they
all
go
by
their
standard.
So
we
don't
have
one
inspector
saying
one
thing
and
another
inspector
sent
another.
T
T
You
know,
no
one
should
go
back
on
that
prior.
You
know
prior
inspection
and
say
well,
you
know
so-and-so
approved
that,
but
I'm
going
to
now
deny
it
now
not
to
say
those
systems
aren't
connected.
Like
we
talked
about
the
wiring
issue
before
where
you
know
they're
all
they
might
be
connected
and
related.
So
you
may
you
may
have
gotten
an
approval
for
this
stage,
but
when
you
get
to
final
or
some
other
stage,
it's
like
well,
there
are
issues
in
between
that.
We
can't
approve
the
system
for
on.
C
T
T
The
short
answer
is
no:
we
are
looking
at
a
private
contractor
called
bureau
veritas
they're,
an
international
company,
but
they're
they're
based
out
of
houston,
so
we
we've
talked
to
them
about
you
know
possibly
coming
in
it's
just
they
are
very
expensive
and
it
may
be
that
you
know
we
could.
T
H
So
we
said
we
don't
have
an
instance
where
you
know
someone
can
powerfully
approve
something
and
another
inspector
comes
back
and
says
something
different,
but
if,
if
it
is
a
case
to
where
something
like
that
as
a
city,
where
are
we
at?
What
do
we
do
when
we
haven't
when
we
have
something
that's
approved,
and
we
have
to
come
back
and
correct
it,
especially
in
instance
where
you
know
you
might
have
an
investor
may
have
put
money
into
a
project
already.
So
how
do
we
go
about?
It
then?.
T
Yeah,
I'm
again,
I'm
not
familiar
with
any
instance
where
an
approval
was
revoked
later.
I'm
not
I'm
sure
it's
happened
at
some
point,
but
I'm
not
familiar
with
any
specifics
again.
There
may
be
something
that
happened
after
that
caused
a
denial,
but
I'm
not
I'm
not
familiar
with
anything
where's
where
another
inspector
came
back
or
that
inspector
came
back
and
said
well,
you
know
I
was
wrong,
we're
going
to
fail
that
that
prior
inspection,
I'm
not
familiar
with
that.
H
Like
an
example,
one
electric
guy
might
come
in
and
say
you
need
an
outlet
right
here
right
here
right
here
and
that
may
take
a
day
for
the
investor
to
actually
get
the
outlet
in
the
places
he
requested.
H
Then
you
might
have
another
one
come
back
out
the
following
day
and
right
here
right
here
and
right
here
turns
into
oh
this
right
here
too.
So
that's
a
thing
that
I
have
got
from
people
who
invest
in
the
community
and
I
think
that's
why
I
said
maybe
a
standard
something
in
notation
to,
whereas
if
you,
the
second
inspector
you're,
coming
back
to
inspect
what
the
guy
actually
approved,
not
making
it,
it
could
come
off
like
you're.
Looking
for
more
things.
T
Yeah-
and
I
am
familiar
with
one
instance
where
I
think
normally
you
should
have-
maybe
at
most
eight
to
ten
circuits-
you
know
outlets
on
a
circuit
and
they
had
like
15
or
18
and
and
and
I
know
that
was
an
issue
on
one,
and
so
you
know
there's
always
the
potential,
for
you
know
somebody
to
go
out
and
say
you
know
you
need
you
need.
T
You
need
one
fewer
outlet
and
then
somebody
and
then
another
inspector
come
in
and
say
well,
I
think
you
need
two
fewer
outlets,
but
usually
because
there's
one
inspector
for
that
inspection,
you
don't
really
have
that
back
and
forth.
The
issue
can
come,
though,
is
if
you
had
inspector
a
like.
We
were
talking
earlier
about
the
houses
inspector,
a
went
out
and
back
in
may
and
failed.
It
well.
Inspector
b
goes
back
out
and
may
fail
it
for
something
else,
but
still
have
the
issue.
T
H
Because
I
mean
normally,
if
it
happens
in
that
instance,
you
don't
want
the
investor
to
ever
feel.
Like
you
know,
it's
targeting
the
picking,
that's
how
they
can
come
off,
but
in
an
instance
I
I
know
it's
not
the
case,
but
when
an
instance
like
that
happens,
that's
how
some
of
them
can
feel
in
most
cases.
So
I
think
it's
good.
If
a
second
investor's
coming
god
can
be
out
sick
and
you
have
another
guy
coming
in
and
doing
an
inspection.
T
If,
if
you
feel
like
there's
some
kind
of
discrepancy,
some
kind
of
issue,
you
know
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
find
we're
going
we're
going
to
ask
questions,
we're
going
to
look
at
the
code,
just
like
the
the
issue
with
the
electrical,
you
know
we're
going
to
look
at
the
code
in
some
cases
we'll
call
the
code
council,
which
is
you
know
the
international
group
and
say
hey:
what
is
your
interpretation?
T
N
Just
so,
you
know
our
electrical
inspectors,
our
plumbing
inspectors,
mechanical
they're,
required
to
be
licensed
on
the
state
level.
Just
like
your
licensed
electricians,
your
licensed
plumbers,
they're
they're
they're
on
equal
playing
field,
they've
been
they've
all
been
out
as
electricians
out
in
the
field,
our
plumbing
inspectors.
Some
got
20
25
30
years
experience
as
plumbers,
and
they
have
to
maintain
their
state
license.
N
N
What
the?
If
a
situation
like
that
happens,
is
that
that
state
licensed
electrician
get
with
our
state
licensed
electrical
inspector,
get
together,
get
in
the
national
electric
code
book
and
say:
okay
last
time
you
were
out
here,
you
told
me
that
these
outlets
were
enough.
Okay,
where
in
the
code
book
does
it
say
that
I
have
to
add
two
more
or
where
does
it
say
that
I've
got
two
overloaded
circuits
and
whether
it's
in
our
adopted
ordinance?
So
where
we
have?
N
This
is
a
max
amount
of
the
circuits
allowed
on
a
15
amp
or
on
a
20
amp
circuit.
This
is
how
many
outlets
you
can
have,
or
sometimes
there's
on
the
rough
end,
there's
no
countertops
and
the
way
the
code
reads.
You
got
to
have
an
outlet
some
space.
Some
far
apart
on
the
countertop
once
the
countertops
are
in
for
final
inspection,
you
go
in
and
you
go.
I
got
a
countertop
over
here.
There's
no
outlets
and
the
guy
said.
Well,
you
passed
the
rough
end
inspection.
N
J
B
N
They
came
in
on
the
final
and
they're
like
well,
there's
no
outlets.
Well,
you
pass
a
rough
end
inspection.
That's
not
my
problem.
You're
like
well,
no
wait
a
minute.
The
electric
code
says
that
you
have
every
two
feet
from
the
end
wall
and
then
every
four
feet
after
that
you
have
to
have
an
outlet
so
that
sometimes
it
happens
like
that,
and
I
I
recommend
that
the
our
inspectors,
where
the
plumbing
electrical
mechanical
call
our
inspector,
will
open
up
the
code
book
and
I'll.
Do
it
as
well.
N
If
I'm
available
and
we'll
discuss
it
and
work
something
out
and
if
they
can't
work
it
out
and
it
just
begins
to
be
a
problem.
Sometimes
it
goes
all
the
way
to
the
appeal
process
to
where
they
want
to
go
to
before
the
construction
board
of
appeals
and
say:
look
I
disagree.
This
is
wrong.
I
think
I
need
an
interpretation
from
a
board.
N
You
know,
and
then
we
can
take
it
that
far,
but
that
very
seldom
happens
because
we
can
usually
get
in
the
code
book
discuss
it
between
all
of
us,
sometimes
we'll
go
to
our
director
chris
moon
and
we'll
talk
about
it,
we'll
figure
it
out
and
we
move
on,
and
that's
that's
what
I
recommend
that
we
do
you
know
and
that
way
we
can
resolve
things
and
move
on
and
not
try
to.
You
know,
hold
up
a
project.
A
H
Thank
you,
and
we
said
I
know
you
said
earlier
when
we
look
at
and
review
plans
we're
looking
at
roughly.
Hopefully
a
two-week
turnaround
is
I'm
not
sure
about
other
cities
but
like
like.
Is
it
like
something?
We
have
that
we
want?
We
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
exceed
those
14
days.
T
Yes,
so
our
our
goal
for
commercial
is
two
weeks
so
two,
you
know
10
days
in
terms
of
business
days,
but
that
that's
our
goal
to
get
turnaround
because
again
we
we
don't
want
to
be
the
hold
up
and
again,
I
think
I
think
the
process
with
you
know.
Yes,
the
computer
is
a
great
tool,
but
I
think
most
of
it
is
you
know
we
have
a
great
staff
and-
and
I
feel
like
our
divisions
and
departments
work
together.
T
You
know
very
well
and
so
and
again
communication
with
the
client,
the
builder
and
the
contractor,
the
developer.
I
think
that's
the
key
for
it
being
better,
but
yes,.
A
H
T
Lindsey,
do
you
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
new
system?
This
is
our
city
works,
expert
and
and
lindsay.
She
did
a
tremendous
job
in
getting
us
where
we
are.
You
know,
especially
with
covid
happening
we
you
know
we
had
issues
with.
We
kept
the
office
going
and
we
were
able
to
continue
issuing
permits.
We
and
inspections
that
never
slowed
us
down,
but
this
computer
system
was
even
better
because
now
people
can
submit
plans
and
all
that,
so
she
did
a
tremendous
job
with
that.
V
So
going
with
revisions,
I've
developed
a
tab
in
the
city
works
that
says
revisions
itself.
They
submit
the
revisions
online,
they
call
us,
let
us
know
hey.
I
got
the
revisions
that
you
needed.
We
attached
it
to
the
planes.
The
clerks
manually
go
in
and
email
all
departments
that
it's
for
we'll
email,
justin
a
lot
ed
brown,
molly,
villarreal
and
let
them
know,
hey
so-and-so,
submitted
their
revisions.
Can
you
let
me
know
we
email
the
applicant
and
say:
hey
got
your
revisions
thanks.
So
much
we'll
be
in
contact
with
you
soon.
V
Please
check
your
portal.
Any
updates.
Cityworks
has
been
amazing
for
our
department.
My
staff
loves
it.
I
know
engineering's
getting
used
to
it.
They
love
it.
Chris
had
five
days
for
residential
we've
been
flipping
out
houses
almost
within
24
hours.
Oh.
A
V
So
you
submit
a
set
of
house
plans,
the
clerks
look
at
it
make
sure
they
have
all
the
plans
that
we
need.
We
accept,
it
automatically
goes
to
planning
and
zoning
planning
and
zoning
or
use
it.
They
approve.
It
automatically
goes
to
building
codes.
Building
codes,
approves
it
in
the
meantime.
Engineering
is
looking
at
it,
so
within
24
hours
or
sometimes
there's
been
even
less.
Where
we've
had
it
approved
within
a
couple
of
hours,
you
have
a
set
of
house
plans
ready
to
roll
out
the
door
contractors,
it's
a
love
and
hate
relationship.
V
They
love
to
hate
it.
They
love
to
call
me.
I
spoke
at
the
what's
it
called.
Thank
you.
The
homebuilders
association
a
couple
of
months
ago
brought
them
some
great
information
thinking
about
trying
to
do
it
for
other
builders
that
are
not
in
that
process
and
for
citizens
to
come
out
to
learn
the
city
works.
V
Our
main
goal
is
to
make
beaumont
better
and
when
they
contact,
y'all,
letting
y'all
know
hey.
The
city's
hold
me
up.
They're
telling
me
this
they're
telling
me
this
they're
telling
me
this
nine
times
in
most
of
y'all
sitting
here
have
called
and
been
like:
hey,
what's
what's
going
on?
How
can
we
make
this
better
for
them
we'll
get
with
chris
we'll
get
with
boyd
we'll
get
with?
I
will
I
will
go
with
whatever
department.
V
I
want
to
stress
that
I
always
want
the
citizens
or
contractors
architects
to
call.
We
are
always
available.
My
name
and
number
is
online
boyd's
chris,
that
that's
what
we're
here
for,
but
cityworks
has
made
it
a
lot
easier
for
us,
and
I
really
hope
that
contractors
and
them
start
utilizing
it
more.
H
I
think
I
think
right
now,
it's
some
vital
information
out
here
and
I
think
in
the
future.
It
might
be
really
well
to
do
something
similar
to
a
business
town
hall
to
where,
as
you
guys
can,
let
people
in
the
business
community
know
some
of
these
ways
that
it's
easier
to
communicate
and
update,
because
they'll
probably
eliminate
some
of
the
in
between
with
council
members
and
you
all.
H
So
I
know
that's
something
I
would
hope
we
can
get
some
support
from
the
council
with
that
in
the
future,
we
can
do
a
business
town
hall
to
get
some
of
this
good
information
out
to
everybody,
and
I
think
that
could
be
a
win-win
for
all
of
us,
even
hearing
from
some
of
them.
As
far
as
to
some
of
these
codes
that
we
can
kind
of
help
simplify
to
help
us
all,
I
think
that'll
be
a
good
opportunity
for
everybody
to
kind
of
work
together
on
this.
T
A
T
Right
and
so
we
don't
want
to
be
the
first
to
adopt,
and
so
you
want
to
make
sure
that-
and
it's
happened
before,
where
you
know
a
certain
year
code,
you'll
hear
from
other
colleagues
in
other
cities
and
they're
like
we're.
Not
we're
not
going
with
that
we're
going
to
wait
and
they'll
revise
all
the
issues
in
that
version.
They'll
revise
the
next
and
then,
when
you
adopt
that
it
becomes
less
of
an
issue.
But
we
will
you
know
we
will
start
that
process
here
pretty
soon
and
what
we
do
is
we?
T
K
A
K
E
You
mayor
three
questions:
real
quick,
the
energy
conservation
code.
I
believe
that's
the
same
thing
as
the
comm
check
code.
Worksheet.
I've
heard
that
I'm
assuming
people
come
in
from
outside
of
beaumont
and
they
encounter
this
other
communities
around
us
perhaps
have
not
are
not
abiding
by
that
code.
Correct
we're
not
speaking
about
I'm
not
naming
the
cities,
but
there
are
some
that
haven't
really
they're,
not
following
that.
But
that
code
is
a
state
law.
E
T
E
So,
just
because
a
sister
city
may
not
be
following
that,
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
shouldn't
correct
okay.
You
said
that
inspectors
15
a
day
25
a
day
so
average,
let's
say
20.,
I'm
looking
at
the
number
of
inspectors.
You
mentioned
that's
two
and
a
half
inspections
per
hour.
Do
we
just
have
a
problem
that
we
need
to
hire
more
inspectors.
W
E
E
Okay,
third
question:
when
we
look
at
that,
that's
intimidating!
You
know
well,
okay,
so
now
I'm
just
terrified,
but
you
know
it's
intimidating
less,
so
you
know
for
some
people
like
councilman
neal,
that
he
does
this
for
a
living.
But
for
someone
like
me,
I
wouldn't
know
where
to
begin
so
the
question
is,
I
guess
is:
where
do
we
begin
to
simplify
the
process?
How
does
that?
E
Even
how
do
we
even
start
that
to
take
out
things
such
as
an
exemption
that
says,
if
I
want
to
put
in
a
faucet
in
my
bathroom,
I
don't
have
to
go,
pull
a
permit.
How
do
we
even
attempt
to
start
simplifying
this
to
where
we
can
accomplish
what
we
all
want
for
beaumont,
and
that
is
to
make
it
business
friendly?
Where
people
say
you
know,
beaumont's
a
great
place
to
do
business.
E
T
So
I'd
you
know
again,
I
think
feedback
from
y'all
and
you
know
we
can
talk
and
we've
done
that
before
so
we've
talked
about,
for
example,
with
a
manager
you
know
say
a
10
000
square
foot
building
you
know,
does
it
need
a
sprinkler
system?
You
know.
Are
there
ways
to
get
around
some
of
these
more
stringent
codes,
and-
and
I
know
you
know
mr
meyer
has
been
great
about
really
digging
into
the
code
and
coming
up
with
ways
that
that
still
abide
by
the
code
but
allow
greater
flexibility
to
get
away
with.
T
Why
do
you
have
that
local
exception
and
I
think,
there's
there's
probably
room
in
there
that
we
could?
You
know
use
you
know,
for
example,
the
faucet
example
we
we
could
probably
have
some
local
exception,
but
I
I
don't
know
that
we
want
to
go
line
by
line,
but
if
there
are
things
that
we
come
across
that
said
hey,
you
know
this.
This
doesn't
make
sense,
or
this
really
doesn't
make
sense
we're.
You
know,
I
think,
between
y'all
and
us
and
any
kind
of
input
we're
open
to.
E
So
the
process
would
be
because
we
trust
the
city
manager.
We
trust
you
and
your
staff,
you
guys
as
you
go
through
this
and
you
come
across
these
things
like
the
faucet.
You
could
bring
this
back
to
us
and
say
guys,
listen,
here's,
here's,
here's
10
items!
We
think
you
guys
could
address
and
speak
to.
Then
we
as
a
council
could
do
it.
E
E
T
Is
that
a
fair
statement?
Yes,
sir
and
again,
we
can
you
know
leaving
out
here
we
can
talk
about
you
know
going
through
that
process
and
are
there
things
that
and
again,
as
mentioned
on
the
faucets,
we
just
don't
sell
many
faucet
permits,
but
we
know
there
are
plenty
of
faucets
being
installed.
So
does
it
make
sense
to
not
have
that
as
an
exception?
You.
A
H
H
Chris
from
a
restaurant
standpoint,
let's
just
talk
about
someone
who
wants
to
do
a
restaurant
from
the
ground
up,
maybe
they
probably
using
their
personal
money
and
you
run
into
instances
where
it
may
be
in
a
shopping
strip.
You
have
an
existing
grease
trap
that
another
restaurant
is
already
utilizing
and
there
you
could
test
it,
and
you
see
how
much
that
they're
actually
utilizing.
H
What
why
why?
Why
are
we
not
allowing
you
know
tenants
if
they
agree
on
their
own
and
provided
and
show
the
city
of
beaumont
that
they
agree
to
share
a
grease
trap?
Then
they
work
out
whatever
type
of
deal.
Why
are
we
not
allowing
you
know
an
instance
like
that,
because
a
grease
trap
is
a
pretty
expensive
investment.
If
you
have
two
businesses,
there's
small
restaurants,
that's
not
utilizing
to
full
capacity.
They
want
to
work
something
out
to
work
together.
T
That
yeah
and
again
I
don't
know
if
we
have
anybody
in
here
from
water
quality,
but
there
are
calculations
as
to
how
big
they
have
to
be
whether
or
not
they
can
share
and
whether
or
not
they
can
use
a
sample
well,
and
I
I've
just
kind
of
overhearing
I've
not
been
that
involved
in
that
process,
but
I
I've
heard
where
they've
been
as
flexible
as
they
can
be.
It's
just
it
goes
back
to
you
know.
Why
do
we
care
in
the
first
place?
T
N
N
H
So
I
noticed
we
said
new
construction,
I'm
talking
a
shopping
strip,
you
know
a
small
shopping
strip.
You
may
have
two,
you
know
smaller
restaurants.
You
know,
I
understand
new
construction,
but
I'm
talking
on
the
levels
of
a
shopping
strip.
You
might
have
maybe
a
a
barbecue
spot
and
maybe
a
seafood
wing
spot.
You
know
that
those
are
the
more
along
the
lines.
I'm
talking
about
possibly
exploring
an
option
like.
H
X
I'll
I'll
try,
it
surely
falls
under
mike
harris,
but
the
manhole
is
required
because
when
it
does
plug
up,
we
have
to
have
that
or
they
have
to
have
it
in
order
to
get
that
line
cleared
again.
So
the
manhole
is
there
for
maintenance.
If
you
don't
have
it,
you
have
difficulty
getting
that
line
cleared
and
sometimes
that
may
be
the
only
manhole
for
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
yards
into
that
sewer
line.
T
P
Let's
start
with
what
are
three
or
five
things
that
y'all
deal
with
that,
you
think
are
burdensome
if
you
were
on
the
other
side,
if
you're
you're
out
there
trying
to
build
something
construct,
something
or
someone
at
someone's
house,
what
does
it
make
sense
to
y'all?
Maybe
we
start
with
three
to
five
items.
I
These
exceptions
to
the
code,
what
type
of
effect
would
they
have
on
the
iso
ratings.
P
A
A
A
L
I
just
want
to
reiterate
on
the
the
vehicles
my
guests
have
brought
up
about
the
military
vehicles.
You
can
actually
look
at
them
online
and
go
for
a
public
auction
starting
off
at
like
500.
I
found
one
starting
off
1998
ones,
2002
models
as
well:
they're
apx.
I
think
it
is
something
like
that,
but
being
that
I
have
older
vehicles,
it's
better
to
put
a
thousand
dollar
engine
in
a
thousand
dollar
transmission
in
instead
of
buying
185
000
brand
new
truck
right.
L
L
It's
no
longer
illegal
for
a
homeowner
to
be
a
plumber,
so
texas,
adopted
in
september
1st.
I
think
it
was
2019
where
any
homeowner
can
be
their
own
plumber
without
any
kind
of
license.
So
you
actually
are
okay
with
replacing
your
faucet
at
the
middle
of
the
night
without
permits
or
without
a
license.
You
might
need
a
permit
for
city
ordinance
per
se,
but
beyond
that
you
can
actually
replace.
But
that
brings
a
point
to
being
a
second
homeowner.
L
I
am
required
to
actually
have
a
builders
bond
that
I
spent
250,
for
that
requires
me
to
pick
that
up
for
a
second
house,
even
if
I
own
that
now,
that's
not
me
running
a
second
house
as
a
business
as
a
rent
rental,
it's
just
as
me,
owning
the
house.
So
I
can't
do
my
own
plumbing.
I
have
to
hire
a
plumber
at
a
second
home
and
if
we
can
get
rid
of
that,
I
would
appreciate
that
that
would
save
thousands
of
dollars
of
cost
that's
unnecessary.
L
If
I
can
replace
a
faucet
at
one
home
and
do
my
own
plumbing
at
my
own
one
home
and
I
own
a
second
home.
I
would
still
have
to
hire
a
plumber.
It
doesn't
make
sense.
It
doesn't
make
sense
that
I'm
able
to
do
it
at
one
home,
satisfactory
building.
You
know
to
toward
what
the
city
requires,
but
I
can't
do
it
at
a
second
home
that
I
own.
So
if
we
can
look
into
abolishing
that,
that
would
be
great.
So
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
point
to
y'all
appreciate
y'all.
Y
Y
I
recovered
my
mom
did
not.
In
march
and
april,
I
received
the
modern
vaccine.
I
was
down
for
two
weeks
each
time
it
put
me
down
that
bad.
In
july
I
went
to
a
client's
house
that
did
not
tell
me
her
husband
had
covered.
I
was
exposed
once
again
tested
positive.
The
difference
is,
I
was
at
home
for
five
days
with
a
fever.
Six
days
later
I
tested
negative.
Y
The
vaccine
does
work,
it
does
work,
it
does
not
prevent
you
from
getting
covert
100
percent,
but
it
will
help
you
if
you
get
it
that
being
evident
by
the
only
one
person
on
a
ventilator
was
was
vaccinated.
The
vaccine
does
not
prevent
everything.
Nothing
can
we
don't
know
anyth
enough
about
this
mess,
but
I
just
wanted
to
answer
your
question
that
you
had
from
my
personal
experience.
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
I
hope
you
know
I'm
loading
my
nail
gun
now
leave.
I
am
now
fully
capable
of
doing
much
more
than
a
nail
gun.
If
someone
comes
in
my
shop
but
the
homeless
are
living
under
delaware
and
east
texas
now
and
I'm
not
a
hard-hearted
person,
miss
mouton,
you
know
me,
I'm
not
a
hard-hearted
person.
I
do
not
give
them
money
for
any
reason.
I
donate
money
to
some
other
place
and
I
donate
money
to
the
salvation
army
because
both
of
those
people
will
help
the
homeless
and
they
will
feed
them.
Y
Y
Y
Please
do
something.
Beaumont
has
been
very
good
to
me.
I
have
enjoyed
having
my
business
at
that
location.
We
started
out
at
the
very
end
of
the
shopping
center.
Within
a
year
I
tripled
the
space.
I
was
leasing.
I
am
now
a
national
company.
I
go
all
over
the
united
states
with
retirement
homes
and
I
am
very
proud
to
say
my
business
is
in
beaumont.
Y
I
love
the
city
of
beaumont,
regardless
of
what
you
see
on
facebook
and
all
that
garbage
I
love
living
in
beaumont
in
may.
I
lost
my
home
to
a
fire
in
beaumont
and
the
fire
department
was
just
absolutely
the
most
wonderful
guys.
I
have
ever
seen
the
inspectors
that
helped
after
that.
Beaumont
has
a
lot
to
offer.
Y
We
really
do,
but
if
we
don't
get
a
grip
on
this
homeless
situation,
it's
going
to
be
bad
because
no
one's
going
to
want
to
have
a
business
where
you
have
to
buzz
a
doorbell
to
get
in.
I
think
that's
rude.
I
have
always
said
that
was
rude
and
I
cannot
believe
I
now
am
in
the
position
that
that's
what
I
have
to
do.
Y
The
police
have
been
there
every
time.
I've
called
every
time
I've
ever
needed
them.
They've
been
there.
I
have
no
complaint
with
the
police
department
at
all.
Y
Y
Y
Z
That's
a
tough
act
to
follow
what
the
health
director
said
was
terrifying.
I
was
wondering
if
it
was
because
the
news
media
is
not
here.
If
possibly
the
city
council
could
maybe
do
a
press
release
or
to
make
the
video
of
his
presentation
available
to
the
press
as
soon
as
possible,
because
I
mean
that
we're
the
number
one
positivity
rate
in
the
whole
state.
That's
terrifying.
Z
On
another
note,
even
though
some
people
may
like
him,
some
people,
don't
we
ought
to
have
a
moment
to
silence
for
the
governor
who
has
coveted,
he's
an
incomplete
quadriplegic
and
he's
exactly
the
kind
of
person
who
deserves
some
silence
and
some
thought.
Z
I'm
happy
to
see
oddwin
here.
Thank
you
for
getting
better
audwen.
The
city
needs
you,
I'm
glad
to
see
you
back
in
your
chair,
I'm
glad
to
see
that
you
recovered.
Z
You
don't
sound
all
that
great,
but
you're
here
in
spirit.
Okay,
if
we
can
spend
185
thousand
dollars
on
a
high
lift
truck
and
we
you
know,
we
need
it.
Obviously,
there's
no
cost
you
put
on
a
human
life.
You
know
we
should
be
able
to
spend
40
000
on
a
dog
park
in
the
west
end
town
for
people
to
free
run
their
dogs.
Z
I
find
that
ridiculous.
Lastly,
thank
you
very
very
much.
It's
my
understanding,
there's
going
to
be
a
workshop
on
the
battleship
texas.
I
think
that's
a
great.
I
think
that
if
you
want
to
get
people
interested
in
downtown
beaumont,
you
need
to
get
people
interested
in
downtown
beaumont.
Let's
have
some
vision.
Z
Z
It's
right,
you're
right
across
the
street,
from
the
police
station.
I
don't
know
that
you're
gonna
have
a
whole
lot
of.
You
know
issues
with
safety
and
you
might,
but
I
mean
it's
right
here,
but
that's
something
that'll
draw
people
downtown.
That's
a
family-oriented
thing.
Instead
of
tearing
down
the
building
over
here
turn
it
into
a
movie
theater
to
show
family
oriented
movies.
Only
you
could
spend
the
whole
day
in
downtown
texas,
downtown
beaumont,
texas.
You
go
to
the
water
park,
you
can
go
putt-putt,
you
can
go
to
the
battleship.
Z
AA
Mayor
mouton,
council
manager
attorney
couple
items
councilman
get
did
bring
out
a
good
idea
about
the
battleship
texas,
I
know
for
sure
just
restaurants.
AA
They
got
the
best
cooks
around
everybody
house,
so
you
got
to
have
something
that
attract
people,
bring
them
off
of
that
freeway.
I
think
his
idea
is
good
or
something
like
that.
It
has
to
be
something
that
will
draw
people
here
to
bum
out.
So
I
I'm
in
a
cause
with
that.
If
it's
not
the
battleship
texas
be
something
number
two,
the
same
amount
of
money
that
we
are
going
to
be
paying
for
the
increase
of
the
garbage
we
could
have
gotten
from
ggi
when
they
approached
us
with
thousand
dollars
a
year.
AA
We
could
have
gotten
that
and
that's
what
it's
gonna
cost
us
now
again.
Here
is
the
thing:
if
you
look
at
the
dvd
from
12
13
of
11,
you
will
see
that
that
when
you
look
at
that,
you'll
see
what
they
were
saying
to
us.
We
could
have
had
40
million
dollars
now
watch
this
that's
quality
of
life
that
would
have
been
the
land
yeah,
because
you
were
taking
care
of
all
that
methane
gas
and
all
of
that
that's
at
the
landfill
and
look
what
you've
got
you
got
paid
for
doing
that
thoroughly.
AA
I
listened
to
a
press
buddha.
AA
Talk
about
on
the
fourth
of
july,
his
message
was
about
the
magna
carta,
it
was
about
the
constitution,
it
was
about
the
bill
of
rights.
I
heard
that
and
I'm
saying
wow
wait
a
minute,
that's
quality
of
life.
Then
he
went
in
and
he
said
something
he
says
hey.
This
is
for
everybody,
nobody
is
excluded,
I
say
wow
I
would.
AA
I
would
challenge
you
to
look
at
that
piece
and
look
at
that
what
he
did
on
the
fourth
of
july
weekend
of
this
year,
the
press
buddha
raw,
I'm
speaking
of
none
other
than
pastor
phaltra.
He
talked
about
that
and
you
need
to
hear
that
because
that's
coming
up
again.
Lastly,
you
all
brought
up
about
a
mild.
AA
Well,
let
me
tell
you
something:
a
milder
was
an
intentional
mistake.
An
intentional
mistake
sounded
like
an
oxymoron,
but
it
was
intentional,
but
it
was
a
mistake
because
they
tried
to
do
what
god
does.
God
knows
what
was
coming
on,
but
the
people
who
intentionally
did
this
didn't
in
time
come
we'll
talk
about
that.
If
you
get
another
dvd
from
8,
9
of
11
you'll
see
the
beginning
of
this,
how
it
all
started,
see
what
happens.
Sometimes
we
don't
understand
and
say.
Well.
Why
would
you
talk
about
something
that
happened
in
2011?
AA
Well,
you
have
to
talk
about
history,
to
catch
up
to
where
you
are
see,
because
when
I
heard
all
those
people
at
the
town
hall
meeting,
they
don't
even
know
anything
about
beaumont
and
how
beaumont
got
started
and
where
and
what
happened
see
because
there's
two
monies
here:
there's
new
money
and
there's
old
money
and
beaumont
is
like
it
is
because
of
where
it
began,
because
it
was.
We
got
a
golden
golden
triangle.
AA
Q
Oh,
I
come
in
today
because
everybody
be
telling
the
homeless
people
the
homes,
but
we
got
a
homeless
problem
for
real
and
they
right
here
in
my
neighborhood.
You
know
they
ain't
everybody.
What
I'm
saying
under
the
bridge
right
there
going
out
talk
to
these
people
every
day
I
feed
them
getting
money
out
of
my
pocket.
The
ladies
say:
don't
give
them
no
money,
hey
they
be
thirsty.
They
need
water,
they
do
whatever
they
do,
but
I
give
it
to
them
because
they
need
it
me
and
this
lady
miss
rooted.
Q
Miss
april,
we
came
with
program
called
managing
for
hope
and
the
program
we're
trying
to
get
is
is
we
need
some
land?
All
we
need
is
some
lane.
You
have
to
give
me
some
land.
I
got
a
contract,
I'm
meeting
the
morning,
9
30
waffle
house
he'll
build
a
shelter.
We
might
need
some
farms
later
on,
but
he'll
build
a.
They
need
a
shelter
for
the
daytime.
That's
why
they
don't
need
to
breathe.
They
don't
got
nowhere
to
go
in
the
daytime.
Q
B
Q
30
I
get
out
three
o'clock.
I
ain't
got
nowhere
to
go.
Babe
ain't
got
nobody
showering
got
nowhere
to
wash
my
clothes.
They
ain't
got
no
avenue
they
out
in
the
sun.
Salvation
they
open
at
five
o'clock
the
feed
six
o'clock.
They
let
them
go
in.
It's
50
people
they're
there
for
30
days,
can't
nobody
else.
Go
there
after
this,
where
the
other
people
go.
Q
Q
That's
the
problem!
That's
why
they
still
under
bridge
everything
when
the
salvation
army
closed
and
they
tell
them
in
the
daytime
to
leave.
They
have
to
go
run
the
street.
They
had
to
go
run
the
street
to
hang
out
by
the
stove.
They
hang
out
by
mcdonald's.
They
go
everywhere
because
they
don't
got
nowhere.
Daytime
shelters
go
nowhere.
Q
We
got
all
this
money,
but
y'all
got
all
your
free
names.
Nobody
don't
want
to
build
a
ship,
so
I
said
y'all
give
me
some
lane
and
I
got
some
guys
going
to
build
a
shield
where
they
could
be
in
the
daytime.
They
could
shower
and
one
thing
they
don't
have.
No
some
other
place.
They
got
a
field
graduate,
they
don't
have
a
phil's
graduate.
So
I
got
all
these
names
right
here.
I've
been
from
college
to
deal
with
all
these
guys
need
ids
and
stuff.
Q
I'm
going
to
take
this
to
mr
keith
in
the
morning
and
some
other
place
they
can
start
to
process.
We
got
people
that
need
medical
teachers,
got
people
outstanding
fixing
when
got
the
shield
and
lay
that
tan
she
gave
miss
ruth.
She
showed
us
a
way
to
to
put
them
up
through
the
computer,
because
I'm
kind
of
computing
little,
but
she
know
my
co-workers.
She
knows,
but
to
put
them
online,
so
they
can
get
to
the
places
they
need
to
go
they
every
time.
They
say
they
don't
got
no
id.
Q
Okay,
some
got
food
stamp
cards.
You
can
read,
you
can
once
you've
got
the
ladies
say:
well,
they
got
a
fool's
damn
car.
They
could
come,
we
can
get
another
ticket,
but
when
we,
when
we
brought
the
guy
the
fool's
damn
car,
she
said
we
really
can't
use
the
food
stuff.
I
said
well
with
the
food
killstreak
is
connect
the
child
with
social
security
card.
So
if
you
got
a
fool's
damn
car,
you
get
a
social
security
card,
you
don't
know
who
you
they
were
here
there
to
get
out.
Q
Yeah
people
got
lost,
they
lost
everything
and
fires
and
everything
and
they
began
to
breathe.
They
can't
get
into
salvation
arms
they're
going
to
breathe.
They
don't
got
no
id,
so
I
can't
get
a
job.
I
can't
get
nothing
everything
we
need
for
id.
This
special
thing.
Y'all
got
for
the
city
center
over
here
for
the
homeless
people
on
24.
Q
They
they
said
they
can't
get
nothing
unless
they
got
phil's
got
deep,
so
ain't,
nobody
getting
out
here
and
getting
with
these
people,
sir,
I'm
telling
y'all
these
people
these
people,
you
got
people
willing
to
work.
You
know
how
I
know
I
go
get
them
and
I
take
them
to
go.
Do
the
same
work,
y'all
saying
we
don't
post
and
doing
without
the
codes?
I
do
it
because
they
need
money.
They
need
to
eat,
I'm
just
being
honest
with
y'all.
Q
Just
what
I
do,
because
they
need
to
eat
man
they
need
on
the
street
they
might.
They
can
make
sixty
dollars
instead
hotel
room
in
bay
and
go
somewhere
to
the
next
day.
I
can't
give
him
a
job
every
day,
but
these
people
want
where
we
got
man
in
the
wheelchair
right
up
there,
babe's
hair.
Nobody
told
me:
you
got
one
legged,
scooby,
doo
man,
he
said.
Look
I'd
be
a
secretary.
Q
U
U
He
goes
back,
spends
a
bunch
of
money
to
get
the
building
going
comes
down
to
the
end,
finds
out
city's
made
a
mistake
or
the
planting's
made
a
mistake
and
says:
oh
no,
now
you
your
plans
are
no
good,
but
it's
been
approved,
but
he's
already
spent
x
amount
of
dollars
who's
to
be
held
accountable
for
what
they
made
the
mistake,
but
falls
back
on
the
the
owner.
That's
my
question
is:
who
who
to
help
be
held
accountable?
For
that?
U
That's
that's
what
I
need
to
know,
because
I'm
going
through
that!
That's
why
I'm
here
I
opened
opening
up
a
company
city
stamps
my
plans
approves
it
he's
got
a
copy
of
it.
He's
got
a
copy
of
them
and
then
I
get
down
to
pour
a
driveway,
that's
been
stamped
approved
and
then
they
say
no,
I
can't
have
it
so
who
don't
who's
to
be
held
accountable.
U
Second
question
is:
is
I
do
tons
of
volunteer
work?
I've
traveled
all
over
the
united
states
for
storm
chasing?
I
know
y'all
probably
seen
this
picture
on
the
tv
rescuing
the
animals
and
people
out
of
my
own
personal
truck.
That's
how
deep
it
was
in
the
water
that
I
drive
I
just
purchased.
I
might
get
a
divorce
from
it,
but
I
just
purchased
a
high
wheel
truck
what
they're
talking
about
buying.
U
I
think
I
spent
ten
thousand
dollars
my
own
personal
money,
because
I
do
volunteer
work,
no
matter
what
out
of
my
own
money
and
I
spent
ten
thousand,
it
runs
drives
it's
out
of
the
military
who
does
the
most
maintenance
on
the
vehicles.
The
military
keeps
their
vehicles,
they
have
to
keep
them
up
and
running
so
only
reason
they
get
rid
of
them
is
because
the
dates
of
them-
you
know
they-
they
move
them
out
to
put
new
ones
in
place.
U
You
don't
have
to
spend
150
000
for
a
high
wheel
vehicle.
I
spent
I
spent
my
own
money
to
buy
it
and
I
got
to
go
pick
it
up.
I
think
when
I
get
this
cookie
factory
open,
I'm
going
to
pick
it
up.
I
hope
I
get
it
before
the
storm
hits,
but
you
know
not
150
150
000,
you
don't
spend
it.
You
can
buy
them
all
day,
long
online.
I
I
did
it
so
that's
my
question.
D
W
Good
evening,
I'm
gonna
speak
on
homelessness.
Like
this
lady
and
the
gentleman
before
me,
I
also
was
not
able
to
meet
go
to
the
meeting,
so
I
may
be
ignorant
of
what
our
most
current
up-to-date
stances
with
that
I
just
want
to
say
september.
W
I
call
on
beaumont
to
choose
the
former
and
set
an
example
for
other
shades
to
look
to.
I
know
that
homeless
coalition
has
been
started,
with
the
goal
being
to
get
on
the
same
page,
with
regards
to
providing
the
most
effective
and
streamlined
relief
possible
to
the
homeless.
Sorry,
I'm
bad
at
public
speaking
and
to
create
a
homeless
database
to
better
understand
the
city's
problems.
W
I
think
that's
a
huge
first
step
and
I
applaud
those
involved.
I
would.
I
would
ask
that
the
city
take
on
a
role
within
this
coalition
to
invest
taxpayer
money
into
this
very
worthy
effort.
We
not
have
to
reinvent
the
wheel
to
end
homelessness.
It's
been
done
before
medicine
hat
is
a
city
in
canada
that
has
took
on
the
goal
of
ending
homelessness
a
decade
ago
and
has
seen
amazing
results.
W
W
Housing
in
step,
three
looks
a
few
different
ways:
permanent
housing,
semi-permanent
housing,
emergency,
shelter,
medicine
hat,
has
an
intake
that
assigns
the
person
or
family
a
case
course
caseworker.
Who
decides
what
the
circumstance
calls
for
once
a
person
or
family
is
housed
the
case
worker
can
then
provide
whatever
outreach
is
needed,
help
with
addiction
addressing
any
untreated
mental
health
issues,
establishing
a
permanent
address
for
banking,
welfare
programs,
ids,
etc,
work
with
workforce
solutions
to
find
employment
or
even
provide
employment
opportunities
with
the
city
that
are
appropriate
to
the
person's
experiences.
W
I
believe
that
this
last
step
is
crucial
and
will
be
transformative
to
the
city.
Not
only
do
I
believe
that
the
that
but
medicine
hack
proves
it
a
community
that
cares
for
every
single
person
is
a
stronger
and
more
just
community.
A
W
R
Thank
you
mayor.
First,
I
would
like
to
express
my
gratefulness
to
our
our
god
for
allowing
those
that
have
been
afflicted
with
covet
to
recover
council
member
samuel,
my
wife
and
those
out
there
that
have
suffered
from
this
disease.
R
J
R
P
Just
to
answer
your
question:
the
council
needs
to
decide
if
you're
going
to
lead
that,
because
you
are
the
chairperson
of
that
committee
and
I
think
it's
fair,
that
you
lead
it
versus
our
staff,
because
the
committee
was
formed
for
that
purpose
and
you
ought
to
be
able
to
lay
out
what
your
plan
is
and
what
the
committee's
plan
is.
Who
what
when,
where?
Why
cost
the
whole
nine
yards.
So
the
council
can
know
where
you're
trying
to
go
and
then
then
the
council's
going
to
decide
what's
enacted.
R
R
R
We've
heard
tonight
from
so
many
citizens
that
have
extreme
concerns
about
this
and
there's
a
whole
lot
more
out
there
that
aren't
here
tonight
that
share
that
battleship
texas
too
again,
nobody
wants
a
white
elephant,
like
mr
watson
said,
but
I
think
that
if
we
can
hear
from
the
battleship,
texas,
commission,
people
and
kind
of
get
a
better
idea
of
what
they're
looking
for
and
what
we're
able
to
offer
see
if
it's
a
good
fit
communication
is
a
good
thing.
Thank
you,
mayor.
H
To
everybody
who
came
out
and
sat
through
three
hours
during
the
night
time,
you
truly
appreciate
it.
You
truly
truly
appreciate
the
staff
who
took
the
time
out
to
make
the
presentation
you're.
Definitely
appreciating
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
y'all
to
work
through
some
of
these
issues.
Thank
y'all.
K
P
Mess
you
up
so
next
next
week,
a
work
session
on
the
budget
capital
program,
discussion
item
on
battleship
texas,
the
consultant
coming
in
as
it
relates
to
improvements
within
the
water
system,
mostly
as
it
relates
to
discolored
water
and
now
the
homeless
issue.
You
may
want
to
give
consideration
if
you
have
the
time
to
where
maybe
we
have
something
in
the
morning
as
it
relates
to
homelessness
and
then
have
your
regular
meeting
at
1
30
or
you
can
try
to
do
it
all
that.
P
R
A
A
A
I
need
to
see
if
I
could
even
fit
it
on
the
schedule
that
they
were
trying
to
do
tonight,
but
it
I
mean
it's
only
so
much
we
can
do
on
a
night
meeting
or
even
an
evening
meeting
so
councilmember
getz.
I
was
looking
at
having
either
the
homeless
coalition
work
session,
either
we're
going
to
have
to
have
it
that
morning
or
move
it
to
the
next
week.
A
U.S
conference
of
mayors
has
been
canceled,
so
we
need
to
look
at
the
schedule
to
make
changes
for
august
31st
that
we
were
looking
at
making
some
changes
in
the
meeting,
because
I
want
to
have
enough
time
to
address
it.
I
don't
want
to
rush
through
it.
I
think
it
needs
proper
time
so
that
we
can
address
all
of
the
issues
and
every
entity
that
needs
to
be
involved
can
state
the
information
also
endeavor,
to
address
your
comment
house
bill
1925
goes
in
effect
september
1st
house
bill.
A
1925
is
the
bill
that
state
no
homeless
person
can
sleep
on
state
property,
meaning
the
underpasses
are
take
occupancy
of
state
property,
and
so
that
goes
in
effect.
That
is
a
state
mandate
that
goes
in
effect
september.
First,
this
isn't
mandated
so
that
homeless
people
can
go
to
jail.
That's
not
why
it
came
about,
but
there
there's
tons
of
reasons.
So
you
can
go
online
and
look
up
house
bill
1925,
and
you
know
we
are
less
than
two
weeks
away
from
september.
A
A
Even
you
know,
someone
would
say
well
they're
homeless,
but
they're
human
beings,
and
they
have
rights
as
a
human
being
and
a
citizen.
So
there's
a
lot
of
components
to
house
bill
25,
but
I
will
say
that
it
is
a
problem
and
thank
god,
it's
not
a
problem
that
you
see
in
austin
or
houston
or
l.a.
However,
we
do
have
a
growing
homeless
situation.
A
Many
times
you
know,
knew
your
mother
for
many
many
years,
wonderful,
lady,
and
so
I
can't
even
imagine
every
step
that
you
make
having
to
wonder
if
I
step
in
or
step
out
of
my
business
if
I'm
gonna
be
attacked,
and
it
is
frightening
and
scary
for
a
female
to
be
by
herself,
but
you
keep
that
stapler
in
your
hand,
I
think
there
were
to
get
out
and
you
won't
have
a
problem.
I
promise
you,
you
won't.
A
A
Have
somewhere
for
them
to
sleep
for
people
that
are
possibly
working
and
then
after
salvation
army
gets
full.
Where
can
they
go
to
the
next
place?
And
so
it's
it's
not
a
bowman
problem.
If
there
was
the
perfect
answer,
we
wouldn't
have
all
of
the
problems
everywhere
else,
and
whoever
has
the
answer.
A
A
It's
not
a
cookie
cutter
solution,
but
hopefully
something
will
work
with
us
all
working
together.
So,
mr
goetz,
if
I
haven't
addressed
your
concern,
please
feel
free
to
speak
up.
I
just
see
that
with
three
other
workshops,
plus
whatever
else
come
in,
I
just
think
that's
just
going
to
be
a
long
full
meeting
and
I
think
the
homeless
situation
needs
to
have
enough
ample
time.
R
I
I
totally
agree
with
you
and
what
I'm
going
to
suggest
is
something
I've
already
talked
to
council
members,
turner
and
neil
about
in
terms
of
scheduling
and
that
maybe
we
should
consider
having
the
workshop
at
our
regular
september,
2nd
homeless
coalition
meeting.
Thinking
about
it.
Logically,
a
lot
of
the
people
that
are
involved
in
this.
C
C
R
The
event
center
so
it'll
give
us
enough
room
and
that
time
and
date
is
already
allocated
so
instead
of
having
a
speaker
come
in.
Maybe
we
should
have
our
workshop
to
present
the
memorandum
that
mr
boone
authored
and
the
15-point
action
plan
to
go
through
that
on
september,
the
2nd
at
2
o'clock
sounds
great.
Okay.
Can
we
do
that
then.
A
A
B
A
Cut
off
at
three
o'clock
today,
this
is
something
we
went
back
to
when
we
saw
that
the
numbers
were
just
skyrocketing
and
when
you
see
a
thousand
people
in
one
week
that
just
goes
to
show
you
just
how
fast
this
is
spreading.
A
No
one
can
mandate
anything
to
you,
but
we
are
asking
to
please
at
all
costs,
wear
your
mask
and
if
you
don't
get
vaccinated
for
yourself,
do
it
for
