More
specifically,
this
this
level
of
government
that
governs
and
overrules
our
city
of
beaumont,
I'm
asking
lord
that
you
would
grant
them
the
insight,
the
wisdom
and
the
compassion
as
they
make
their
decisions
for
that
concerns
the
hundreds
and
thousands
of
people
that
hundred
thousand
people
live
here
in
beaumont
and
then
father.
I
want
to
ask
that
you
would
grant
them
what
they
need
for
this
specific
meeting
as
they
go
on
their
agenda
father.
A
We
want
you
to
have
the
rule
and
reign
which
you
are
the
highest
form
of
government,
that
there
is
in
our
hearts
and
our
minds,
and
we
want
to
tell
you
thank
you,
as
you
are
afforded
the
the
ability
to
to
have
your
way
in
our
lives
bless
now
the
only
you
can
in
the
powerful
and
the
precious
name
of
jesus.
We
pray,
amen.
D
D
For
the
week
of
september,
the
14th
through
the
20th.
We
have
1052
new
cases,
so
this
week
of
september,
the
21st
through
the
27th
there's
an
additional
673
cases,
so
the
number
of
positive
cases
are
declining,
but
for
the
week
of
september
the
14th
through
the
20th
we
had
12
deaths.
This
week
we
have
19
deaths.
So
even
though
the
numbers
are
decreasing,
the
number
of
positive
cases
we're
starting
to
see
an
increase
in
the
number
of
deaths.
D
D
It
represents
18,
which
is
a
drop
from
last
week
of
26
percent,
and
I
would
contribute
some
of
that
decrease
to
our
only
school
district,
which
is
the
largest
school
district
in
the
county,
has
put
in
the
mass
mandate,
and
we
have
also
the
diocese
also
have
put
in
the
mass
mandate.
So
I
would
contribute
some
of
that
decline
in
the
number
of
school-aged
kids
testing
positive.
D
D
Last
week
we
had
61
of
our
patients
that
were
on
ventilators.
Yesterday
we
had
42
that
was
on
vince,
but
90
percent
of
the
42
was
unvaccinated,
so
we
still
see
that
the
unvaccinated
are
the
ones
that's
at
most
risk
for
being
hospitalized
being
on
vents
as
well
as
death.
So
again,
we
still
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
get
vaccinated
because
our
vaccination
numbers
are
going
down.
D
Last
week
we
had
one
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seven
people
in
jefferson
county
that
either
got
their
first
dose,
they
second
dose
and
that
additional
dose
this
week,
it's
only
1
241.,
so
we're
not
seeing
an
increase
in
the
vaccination
numbers
like
we
should
and
like
we
want
to
so
again.
We
just
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
get
vaccinated.
D
If
medically
you
can
age
eligible
is
12
years
of
age
and
above
so
we
still
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
get
vaccinated,
continue
to
wear
your
mask
also
at
the
bowmen
health
department.
We
also
have
our
cleanup.
That's
open.
We
open
every
day
of
the
week
monday
through
friday,
and
we
do
have
the
moderna
and
the
pfizer
so
we're
all
still
administering
the
vaccine
as
well
as
that
additional
dose,
as
well
as
that
booster,
that
was
just
approved
by
cdc.
D
number
of
positive
cases
in
our
hospital.
It
went
from
21
to
18
number
of
positive
cova
patients.
That's
in
our
icu.
It
went
from
93
of
last
week
to
66
this
week,
but
we're
still
hot
we're
still
too
high
coming
down,
but
still
too
high.
So
we
need
to
get
that
number
much
much
lower
be
before
we
can
kind
of
get
back
to
what
we
call
some
normalcy.
D
So
again,
we
just
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
be
safe
practice.
Social
distance
wear
your
masks
when
you're
around
crowds
of
people,
where
you
don't
know
their
vaccination
status
and
again
the
best
tool
we
have
is
the
vaccine
and
again
we
just
want
to
continue
to
encourage
everyone
to
get
vaccinated
and
that's
our
weekly
report.
If
you
have
any
questions.
D
We've
also
spoken
with
some
other
place
about
getting
a
mobile
clinic
over
there
to
test
the
homeless,
because
the
reason
being
is
these
vaccines
are
very,
very
fragile,
and
so,
when
you
take
them
from
the
right
temperature
right
refrigeration,
they
have
a
tendency
to
lose
their
efficacy
and
again
with
the
homeless
population.
That's
a
very
difficult
population
to
deal
with.

I
I
I
J
Thank
you,
kyle
mayor
members
of
the
council.
It's
a
privilege
to
be
before
you
this
afternoon.
Again,
it's
dust.
My
name
is
dusty:
traylor
managing
director
with
rbc
capital
markets
and,
as
as
kyle
indicated,
it
was.
It
was
truly
a
collaborative
effort
here,
and
I
want
to
especially
just
point
out
the
work
that
your
your
staff
here,
starting
with
with
kyle
todd
mr
cooper
and
the
team
from
the
moment
that
you
guys
give
us
the
go
to
work
towards
the
issuance
of
the
certificates
of
obligation.
J
That
work
does
not
just
fall
upon
our
shoulders,
but
that
work
also
falls
upon
the
shoulders
of
your
staff
as
it
comes
to
the
help
and
preparation
of
the
preliminary
official
statement.
The
bond
rating
calls
and
presentations
to
the
bond
rating
agency
and
your
team
does
a
very,
very
great
job
of
representing
you
and
the
city
of
beaumont
in
that
work.
J
Through
that
process
we
had
the
city's
rating
with
moody's
affirmed
at
the
double
a2
level.
That's
a
very
solid
and
firm
bond
rating,
and
what
that
does
is
that
represents
to
the
bond
market
just
how
financially
safe
and
secure
the
city
of
beaumont
is
and
translates
to
you
guys
being
a
very
strong
credit
risk
to
investors
and
allowing
them
to
purchase
your
bonds
at
very
favorable
rates.
J
We
we
entered
into
the
market
yesterday
with
the
underwriting
syndicate,
as
kyle
said,
with
the
strata
hinojosa
and
huntington
as
the
two
underwriters
and
the
final
all-in
fixed
interest
rate
over
the
20-year
life
of
the
certificates
of
obligation
is
a
2.18
percent.
Again,
that's
a
fixed
rate
over
the
life.
J
These
bonds
will
also-
or
these
cos
will
also
carry
a
nine
year-
call
feature
actually
about
an
eight
and
a
half
year
call
feature.
Typically,
municipal
bonds
are
sold
with
a
10-year
call
feature
we're
able
to
negotiate
and
shorten
that
up.
That
gives
the
city
some
additional
flexibility
down
the
road
to
potentially
refinance
or,
if
you're
able
to
early
retire
and
pay
off
a
portion
of
these
bonds
early,
so
that
flexibility
is
a
great
benefit
to
you
all
in
all,
a
very
great
sale.
J
The
actual
stated
par
value
of
these
certificates
is
29
325
000.
However,
we
will
be
depositing
a
full
33
million
dollars
into
the
city's
project,
account
that
differential
there
is
made
up
by
a
premium
paid
for
by
the
investors
and
the
ceos.
That's
a
very
common
thing
that
we're
seeing
in
the
marketplace
right
now.
It
happened
with
you
guys
so
you'll,
your
stated
par
value
is,
is
less
than
30
million,
but
you
will
be
receiving
the
full
33
million
dollars
to
your
project
fund
that
you
put
in
your
notice
of
intent.
J
So
all
in
all,
these
low
rates
translate
into
lower
debt
service
figures
as
as
todd-
and
I
were
going
back
and
forth
this
summer.
Looking
at
various
scenarios,
when
we
looked
at
the
20-year
scenario
for
a
33
million
dollar
co,
this
particular
debt
service
works
out
to
about
five
thousand
dollars
per
year,
less
debt
service
than
what
we
anticipated
when
we
were
running
the
pro
forma
calculations.
So
over
the
20-year
life,
that's
quite
a
bit
of
savings
to
the
city.
B
B
I
Man
council
line
number
two
is
an
ordinance
entitled
an
ordinance
granting
a
specific
use
permit
to
allow
an
ambulatory
surgery
center
and
a
gcmd2
general
commercial.
Multiple
family
dwelling,
2
district
for
property
located
at
6510
folsom
drive
the
city
of
beaumont
jefferson,
county
texas,
iq
health
surgery
center
is
requesting
this.
The
specific
use
permit.
B
I
Sarah
street
wellness
group
is
requesting
a
specific
use.
Permit
a
joint
public
hearing
held
on
september,
the
20th.
The
planning
commission
recommended
six
to
zero
to
approve
the
request
with
one
condition
listed
in
your
staff
memorandum.
The
administration
recommends
approval
with
that
same
condition.
G
I
N
N
G
G
I
Yeah
anything
over
ten
thousand
dollars
requires
council
action
and
a
change
order.
So
we
don't
let
them
do
that,
meaning
they
can
come
back
and
say,
there's
unforeseen
issues
that
we're
not
in
the
specifications
or
the
bid
specs
and
if
they're
right,
you
know
if
they
start
digging
and
find
things
down
there,
that
you
know
we
didn't
have
on
the
maps.
Then
yes,
we'd,
come
back
and
recommend
a
change
order,
but
they
don't
get
determined
that.
N
I
H
J
B
I
A
of
the
code
of
ordinances
of
beaumont
texas,
relating
to
declaring
juneteenth
as
an
official
holiday
for
city
employees,
providing
for
severability
and
providing
for
repeal
a
couple
of
you
brought
this
to
my
attention
this
summer,
and
this
is
the
time
to
make
any
changes
as
we
after
october,
the
first
let
our
employees
know
what
the
declared
holidays
are.
So
the
code
of
ordinances
specifies
the
various
holidays
for
city
employees.
I
E
I
F
E
B
I
Number
six
is
to
consider
approving
the
write-off
of
uncollectible
delinquent
accounts.
This
request
is
in
accordance
with
the
write-off
policy
approved
by
the
city
council.
The
policy
gives
council
the
final
authority
to
write
off
an
individual
account
receivable
identified
as
uncollectible
when
the
balance
due
exceeds
one
thousand
dollars.
I
H
I
Well,
so
we'll
send
out
bills
or
invoices
for
different
services
and
then
we'll
turn
them
over
to
a
collection
agency,
that's
approved
by
the
council,
and
they
work
these
accounts
on
a
continual
basis
and
after
a
certain
period
of
time,
if
they
feel
like
it's
not
collectible
and
we're
continuing
to
carry
those
accounts
on
our
books,
as
if
you
know
their
receivables
out
there
that
we're
counting
on
which-
and
we
know
hey,
it-
doesn't
look
like
these
folks
are
going
to
pay
us.
Then
we'll
bring
bring
these
items
to
you
to
write
off
again.
I
M
I
Customer
service
division
she
does
a
really
good
job
and
so
they're
working
at
every
every
day.
We
have.
We
have
also
a
division
in
this:
the
first
floor
city,
hall
and
they're
working
accounts
and
handling
our
collections
for
us
to
a
certain
point,
and
then
they're
turned
over
to
a
collection
agency.
B
P
Good
afternoon
everyone
every
monday,
I
have
a
system
that
I
run
and
it
actually
tracks
social
security
numbers
date
of
birth.
It
will
match
the
spouse
and
also
driver's
license,
and
at
that
point
it
will
tie
to
active
account
once
it
ties
to
active
account.
I
will
move
the
unpaid
balance
to
the
active
account
and
it
becomes
collectible
so
so
far
this
year,
I've
gotten
a
balance
down
by.
I
think
13
000.
P
J
I
O
So
what
danette's
talking
about
our
water
accounts,
which
will
be
on
the
next
agenda,
memo
right
now
we're
talking
about
weeds
and
ems,
but
they
all
go
together
as
part
of
our
annual
housekeeping
for
for
our
books
in
preparation
for
our
audit,
you
know
our
fiscal
year.
End
is
the
end
of
september,
so
we
always
come
to
you
every
year,
at
the
end
of
september,
to
write
off
what
our
auditors
and
basically
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
would
consider
an
uncollectible
account.
So
it's
a
bookkeeping,
cleanup
issue.
M
O
H
O
We
collect
probably
95
percent
for
those
that
are
insured,
those
that
have
medicaid
or
medicare,
but
for
the
self-insured
we
really
have
our
hands
strapped
and
that's
an
industry
benchmark.
That's
around
64
overall,
and
that
includes
the
insured
accounts.
But
if
you're
talking
about
just
the
self-insured,
it's
it's
probably
less
than
20
collection
rate.
On
that
again,.
H
O
B
I
Mayor
council
line
number
seven
is
to
consider
approving
the
write-off
of
uncollectible
water
accounts,
the
water
accounts,
total
36,
237
dollars
and
24
cents.
This
request
is
in
accordance
with
the
write-off
policy
approved
by
the
council.
All
accounts
have
been
terminated
for
at
least
one
year
and
collection
efforts
have
been
unsuccessful.
I
B
E
F
B
I
Yeah,
it's
kind
of
hidden
in
your
packet.
It's
a
it's
a
green
sheet
that
says
public
hearing
received
comments
on
the
2020
consolidated
annual
performance
and
evaluation
report
for
the
caper
that
will
be
submitted
to
department
of
housing
and
urban
development.
We'd
ask
that
you'd
hold
a
public
hearing
on
that
item.
I
Okay,
we'll
move
to
this.
The
second
public
hearing
does
relate
to
dangerous
structures,
I'll
read
the
caption
and
turn
it
over
to
mr
boone.
It's
an
ordinance
entitled
an
ordinance
finding
certain
structures.
It
should
be
public
nuisances
and
ordering
their
demolition
and
removal
or
repair
providing
perseverability
and
providing
for
a
penalty.
L
L
L
There
is
a
10-day
time
limit
from
the
time
of
this
hearing
in
order
to
enter
into
a
work
program
if
the
property
is
sold.
It
should
be
noted
that
the
the
time
limit
on
a
work
program
does
not
start
over.
It
continues,
as
stated
in
the
original
work
program,
and
then
regarding
the
timing
of
a
work
program
to
repair
a
structure.
L
The
allotted
time
is
150
days
within
that
150
days
within
the
first
90
days.
The
structure
must
be
dried
in
so
the
roof
must
be
repaired,
walls
must
be
repaired,
windows,
doors,
etc,
and
then,
in
the
remaining
within
the
remaining
60
days.
Following
that,
the
work
must
be
completed
on
the
structure
and
a
certificate
of
occupancy
must
be
granted
again
for
the
entire
entire
150
days,
and
also
real
quickly
mayor
we
do
have.
B
B
Q
This
house
good
evening
this
house
been
in
a
bad
neighborhood
for
years.
I
think
the
city
of
beaumont,
which
is
dealt
with
lieutenant
mike
mills
when
they
had
two
houses
across
the
street
in
the
middle
drug
houses.
I
had
a
heck
of
a
time
trying
to
keep
a
runner
in
there
because
of
the
drugs
being
sold
and
then
the
shooting
the
wonders
out
on
the
house.
The
last
time
we
started
putting
work
and
money
in
the
house.
Q
We
put
the
woodens
back
in
the
house
and
those
rascals
took
those
rocks
because
the
house
is
next
to
the
railroad
track.
They
throw
the
rocks
the
rock's
still
in
the
house
where
they
bust
the
windows
out.
I've
actually
all
kind
of
helped
to
get
that
neighborhood
straightened
out
number
seven,
but
those
two
drug
deals
are
now
in
the
penitentiary
because
of
lieutenant
mike
mills,
but
the
owner
that
those
two
properties
he
continued
to
rent
to
those
type
of
people.
F
F
B
F
L
Q
I
see
every
night
and
then
they're
tearing
up
old
fire
hearts
and
pulling
it
up
if
the
city
of
beaumont
would
replace
all
these
old
fire
hydrant
that
was
probably
bought
through
an
american
dollar
valve.
You
would
get
rid
of
that
brown
water.
If
you
see
how
rusty
those
fire
hydrants
are
that
comes
out
the
ground
we
ride
about
and
take
pictures
of
them
after
they
get
through
pulling
them
out.
We
got
a
bunch
of
pictures
of
them
and
they
that's
one
of
our
main
problem.

I'm
sorry
question
just
for
this:
for
the
sake
of
clarity
for
the
public
city
manager,
this
this
address
buffalo,
3910
buffalo.
This
structure
was
separated
from
the
other
20
three
that
we
just
are
25
that
we
just
voted
on,
because
it
is
a
clear
and
present
danger
to
the
community
and
that's
why
it
was
separated
out.

My

poor

landed
me
in

for
a
few
years,
dwi's
a
pro
to
the
house
center
and
the
hard
school
of
knoxville
beaumont
texas.
I
saw
rich
people
concerned
about
the
homeless
here
in
town
for
about
five
years.
We'll
say
I
took
note,
but
I
was
not
homeless.
I
ended
up
homeless
in
the
streets
as
christian
and
for
a
short
time
and
over
a
short
time,
my
teeth
were
beat
out
of
my
head.

Cutting

now
he's

What
I'm

department,
the

and
everything
else.

To
everyone,
the
city,
council
and
guests,
just
returning
from
skid
row
and
tent
city
in
venice
beach,
california,
los
angeles,
california,
I'm
grateful
for
the
tireless
efforts
by
the
obama
police
department,
the
texas
rangers,
the
fbi
and
jefferson
county
sheriff's
department
and
their
efforts
to
solve
the
26
year
old,
cold
case
murder
of
the
young
teacher.
I'm
glad
you
apprehended
the
suspect
and
he's
been
indicted,
but
I'm
so
confused.
Do
all
lives
really
matter
in
particular.
T
Do
black
lives
matter
or
furthermore,
does
my
life
matter
or
does
the
lives
of
single
white
females
matter
only
to
law
enforcement
in
jefferson,
county
texas?
The
examiner
article
this
week
boasts
of
the
1
000
man
hours
that
it
took
to
solve
the
cold
case.
Well,
I
stand
here
as
a
live
cold
case
number
20,
2101,
2695
july
10,
2021
of
a
deadly
conduct,
assault
against
me
and
two
of
my
homeless
passengers.
T
When
my
rental
car
was
riddled
with
eight
bullets,
five
in
the
tire
two
towards
the
gas
tank
and
in
the
passenger
door
to
set
the
car
on
fire
with
us
in
it.
But
yet
nothing
has
been
done
now.
One
phone
call
has
been
received
by
me
since
july
10th,
which
is
10
weeks
70
days,
1
680
hours
of
no
response
from
the
beaumont
police
department.
T
Sergeant.
Foote
of
the
beaumont
police
department
has
failed
to
document
that
I
gave
him
my
cell
phone
with
500
block
calls
and
deadly
threats
from
the
alleged
assailants
and
the
gentleman
who
was
accused
of
being
a
pedophile
who's,
a
27
time
felon
with
two
violent
strikes,
who
in
particular
has
been
believed
to
allegedly
put
the
hit
out
on
me.
I'm
constantly
harassed
and
stalked
by
the
baumann
police
department,
meaning
they
come
wherever
I
go.
It's
documented
in
my
medical
files
that
they
follow
me
to
academy
to
watch.
T
If
I
was
going
to
purchase
a
weapon
which
the
second
second
amendment
of
the
united
states
constitution
affords
me
the
opportunity
to
protect
myself,
it's
documented
in
my
medical
records
that
an
undercover
police
officer
was
following
me
and
watching
all
of
my
purchases.
My
mother
has
been
called
very
disparaging
names
and
also
threatened
on
facebook.
By
these
alleged
assailants,
the
screenshots
have
been
provided,
the
call
logs
have
been
provided,
and
yet
nothing
has
been
done.
So
I
ask
you
as
a
single
black
female
in
jefferson
county
texas.
What
does
why
does
my
life
not
matter?
T
I'm
very
happy
that
you
found
I'm
very
happy
that
you
were
diligent
because
any
assault
against
a
woman,
and
especially
the
horrendous
acts
that
were
committed
by
that
gentleman.
Well,
not
that
gentleman
by
that
beast
that
monster
towards
that
young
lady
is
horrendous.
So
please
show
me
the
same
respect.
Thank
you.
U
Thank
you
good,
seeing
you,
council
members,
I
have
been
fielding
a
bunch
of
phone
calls
the
last
few
days,
and
so
I
wanted
to
come
before
you
guys
and
kind
of
explain
to
you.
What's
going
to
be
going
on,
it's
no
secret!
That
commissioner's
court
has
terminated
an
agreement
that
we've
had
with
the
city
of
beaumont
in
reference
to
receiving
inmates
at
our
jefferson
county
jail.
U
I
want
to
make
it
clear
to
the
community
and
people
in
our
cities.
In
our
you
know,
citizens
in
our
community
and
to
you
guys
that
while
we
have
ended
a
contract,
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
are
letting
all
the
criminals
out
of
our
jails
and
that
we're
going
to
refuse
to
accept
criminals
upon
arrest.
Okay,
as
the
law
would
allow.
I
have
the
ability
on
any
commitment,
any
warrant
to
continue
to
accept
prisoners.
We're
going
to
do
that.
U
I
know
to
each
of
you
as
community
leaders,
but
also
community
members,
to
make
sure
that
the
people,
the
constituents,
our
constituents,
understand
that
we're
all
going
to
work
together
and
move
forward
and
resolve
this
issue
and
resolve
it
soon.
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
stand
here
before
you
today
and
address
these
issues
and
please,
if
there
are
any
questions,
feel
free
to
call
me
or
contact
me.
U
I've
been
hearing
stuff
about
what
other
sheriff's
agencies
do.
Sheriff's
officers
across
the
state
do
a
lot
of
it
is
apples
to
oranges.
Some
of
it
is
apples
to
apples
for
every
sheriff's
office
that
you
come
across.
Some
will
say:
we
don't
charge
cities
and
then
other
sheriff's
offices
will
say
that
we
do,
and
so
it's
important
for
everybody
to
be
educated
about
what
a
warrant
is.
U
When
do
they
become
actually
county
prisoners.
Some
communities
have
small
jails,
and
so
they
don't
charge
the
cities,
and
so
I'm
not
a
litigator,
I'm
not
going
to
argue
those
issues.
What
I
am
here
to
say
is
we're
going
to
put
people
in
jail
who
hurt
people
in
our
community.
So
rest
assured,
the
community
is
still
safe.

The
citizens
of
beaumont
would
never
be
required
to
take
on
the
maintenance
obligations
of
the
battleship
texas.
It
would
not
fall
on
your
shoulders,
so
I
just
want
to
make
that
point
clear
and
if
you
have
any
questions
about
that
or
need
to
see
this
document
I'll
make
a
copy
available
to
you.
But
you
won't
see
anywhere
in
there
that
the
obligations
to
maintain
the
battleship
texas
would
at
any
time
fall
on
the
shoulders
of
the
citizens
of
beaumont.
I
I
do
you
know.
Tyrone
cooper
is,
of
course
the
city
attorney
and
he
is
the
president,
which
is
a
big
deal
of
the
international
municipal
lawyers
association.
So
he
had
to
leave
to
attend
one
of
their
meetings,
which
is
again
a
big
honor
he's
the
president
of
this
international
reputable
municipal
lawyers
association.
