4. Consider a request to amend Section 28.03.023(e) of the Zoning Ordinance related to
communication towers.
The Planning Staff is recommending changes to the Permitted Uses Section 28.03.023(e) of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Recently staff received a request for an SUP (Specific Use Permit) in a GC -MD -2 (General
Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling -2) District. After accepting the application, staff realized
Communication towers are not allowable in a GC -MD -2 District, even with an SUP review.
Given that most other commercial uses are allowable in GC -MD -2 zoning with an SUP and
given that Communication towers can be compatible and appropriate uses in GC -MD -2
zoning, it would be appropriate for an SUP to be available in the GC -MD -2 District as well.

9. Consider a resolution authorizing the lease of 13 vehicles from Enterprise FM Trust.
In September of 2016, City Council approved an equity lease agreement with Enterprise FM
Trust (EFM) through Resolution No. 16-187. The contract was awarded by the City to EFM
by utilizing the TIPS USA cooperative contract #2072816.
The City of Beaumont's fleet includes over 400 vehicles that are lightweight or medium sized
vehicles. These vehicles range in age from new to more than 20 years old with the average
age of six (6) years. Each year during the budget process, all fleet vehicles are looked at for
age, mileage, maintenance and repair cost, and priority in providing city services to
determine if they need to be replaced.
EFM's fleet management program provides a solution to this problem of aging vehicles
through equity leases and resale. The equity lease is typically for a term of five years. At the
end of the lease term the City can either purchase the vehicle for the residual value or can
have EFM sell the vehicle through auction whereby the City receives the net proceeds. At
that time the City can either keep the proceeds or use them to put another new vehicle under
lease. The advantages to this program include the creation of a replacement cycle for city
vehicles that tend to be left behind, improved fuel efficiency, reduced maintenance costs,
higher resale return through a broad and well established resale network and more properly
matched vehicles to the needs of the operation. There are no wear and tear.penalties, or
mileage restrictions built into the lease.
Thirteen (13) vehicles have been identified to be replaced through an equity lease pursuant
to the master agreement approved by Council in September of 2016. The average age is
nine (9) years with models ranging from 2003-2014. The vehicles were identified based on
mileage, age, maintenance costs and availability of parts. The thirteen (13) vehicles will be
new vehicles ordered by EFM leveraged government discounts with all manufacturers.
The Texas Local Government Code Chapter 791 allows a governmental agency to enter a
joint purchasing agreement. The City entered this lease agreement with EFM through Region
VIII Education Services Center, The Interlocal Purchasing System or TIPS which awarded a
competitively bid contract.
Funds will come from the Capital Reserve Fund - $56,840 estimated annual payments.
Water Utilities Fund - $11,584 estimated annual payments. Solid Waste Fund - $6,048
estimated annual payments. All estimated payments were included in the FY 2019 Budget.
Approval of the resolution.
COuncilmember Pate moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND HE IS
HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO LEASE THIRTEEN (13) VEHICLES FOR USE BY VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS
PURSUANT TO THE EXISTING MASTER EQUITY LEASE AGREEMENT AS AMENDED BETWEEN THE CITY OF
BEAUMONT AND ENTERPRISE FM TRUST. Councilmember Jordan seconded the motion.

George Kemp Jr. 4850 Ada Ave. Beaumont TX
Stated to Council that he made a complaint with the Traffic Division regarding the traffic on
Concord from Dowlen to Hwy 105, stated that drivers are speeding on that stretch of
Concord, they are running the stop signs or barely stopping for them, there are no red lights
on Concord just stop signs, the traffic is very heavy from 7:00 a.m. to about 9:00 a.m., and
then again in the evening when it's quitting time, where Dowlen dead ends to Concord there
is a three way stop sign, stated that he would like the City to do a study there and maybe put
a flashing light or a regular red light, there needs to be something there before someone gets
into a really bad accident and is seriously injured

Commented on the Street Rehabilitation Program sheet that was issued to citizens, stated
that all he saw was work that will take place in 2019 and 2020, wanted to know what the

new sidewalks yet there are broken sidewalks in the North and South End as well as the
Pear Orchard that are in need of repair, Council is talking about bees, the purchase of new
vehicles, golf carts but yet there are streets that are still in horrible condition, wanted to know
how Council can justify getting things done, stated that it's ridiculous that nothing is being
done on the streets, stated that he has complained about the speeding on Main St., in front
of Cathedral of Praise Miracle Center, but no one has addressed or contact anyone about
that, Council shouldn't say they are going to do something and then don't do anything at all
