REGULAR AGENDA
1.Council to consider a request for the abandonment of portions of South, Archie, and
Holmes Streets.
The City of Beaumont is requesting to abandon the rights of way for portions of South,
Archie and Holmes Streets. Once abandoned, an exchange of this property has been
arranged to provide additional parking for the Event Centre and Lakeside Center.
Centerpoint has stated they have utilities located in several of the properties but would
find a blanket easement acceptable for their needs. Planning staff recommends approval
of the abandonments with retention of a blanket utility easement.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on June 26, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended
7:0 to approve the request to abandon portions of South, Archie and Holmes Streets with
the retention of a general utility easement.

2.Council to consider a request for a Rezoning from RS (Residential Single-Family
Dwelling) to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) or a more
restrictive district for property located north of 2360 S. Major Drive.
Sabole Vishnu Vandana is requesting approval for a Rezoning from RS (Residential
Single-Family Dwelling) to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling - Highest Density)
for the property located just north of 2360 S. Major Drive. The applicant intends to
construct an apartment complex containing 150 units. Although the majority of
neighboring properties are either vacant or occupied by single-family homes, Major Drive
is a major arterial and this area is recognized as a neighborhood growth unit. As such,
multi-family zoning would be an acceptable use and transition into residential
neighborhoods.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on June 26, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended
5:2 to approve the request for a Rezoning from RS (Residential Single-Family Dwelling)
to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) or a more restrictive
district for property located north of 2360 S. Major Drive.

3.Council to consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility in the
GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District for property located at 39
N. 11th Street, Suite B.
Courtney Watson requests approval of a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility
located at 39 N. 11th Street, Suite B. Ms. Watson intends to install fourteen (14) gaming
machines. The hours of operation will be 10am to 10pm, Monday through Sunday. Plans
are to staff this location with one full-time employee and one security person.
Minutes – July 11, 2023
It should be noted that gaming facilities that have five or fewer machines tend to be
considered accessory in nature, when part of a primary use, and as such tend to result in
fewer negative impacts on surrounding land uses. However, larger game rooms with
dozens of machines take on the scale of a small casino and as a result, require careful
consideration as to their location and compatibility with surrounding land uses. Some of
these considerations include compatibility with other land uses, noise, and traffic as well
as safety considerations. As such, proximity to parks, schools and especially residential
uses should be carefully considered in the review of gaming facilities.
This property is in close proximity to BISD’s alternative campus at 88 Jaguar, and Lily of
the Valley Missionary Baptist Church is located at 2856 Smart St. Additionally, the shared
parking lot has forty-four (44) existing, legal spaces for the shopping plaza and the
proposed gaming facility would require twenty-five (25) to thirty (30) of those spaces. An
additional twenty-six (26) spaces are shown on the site plan but overhang the City right-
of-way and are not legal. Therefore, the overall shopping center only has 31% of the
minimum required parking, which may lead to conflict amongst tenants, per Engineering.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on June 26, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended
7:0 to deny the request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility in the GC-MD
(General Commercial- Multiple Family Dwelling) District for property located at 39 N. 11th
Street, Suite B.
Denial of the ordinance.

4.Council to consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a duplex in an RS
(Residential Single-Family Dwelling) District for property located at 10720 Sherwood
Drive.
Loan Duong representing Tien Tran is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a duplex
at 10720 Sherwood Drive. This property is located within the RS (Residential - Single-
Family Dwelling) district and as such a two-family dwelling requires a Specific Use Permit.
The structure will be one-story with two units for a combined total of 2,420 square feet.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on June 26, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended
5:2 to approve the request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a duplex in an RS
(Residential Single-Family Dwelling) District for property located at 10720 Sherwood

Multiple-Family Dwelling) to C-M (Commercial – Manufacturing) for the property at 5190

MOTION PASSED
ORDINANCE 23-053
6.Council to consider a resolution approving a contract to Vortex Companies for the repair
of the 5-ft by 7-ft oval-shape storm line on Long Avenue.
This storm line, due to age and poor soil conditions, has many defects and requires
rehabilitation of the interior of the pipe. Previously awarded projects addressed a point
repair and the stabilization of the soils surrounding the storm line where large voids and
cavities had formed due to the defects in the line that allow soil migration.
This project is the final step in the rehabilitation of this storm line located under the center
of the road from Pine Street to MLK Parkway. This storm line is critical infrastructure for
the city as many of the streets comprising the MLK Neighborhood area drain to the
Neches River through this line. With this storm line being in close proximity to the rail line,
that is also in the center of the road, it is important to fully rehabilitate this line so that
future rail operations are not interrupted. The proposed rehabilitation consists of a
structural lining of approximately 3,190 linear feet of line.
Based on a review of the proposal, the Public Works Engineering staff recommends
awarding the contract to Vortex Companies, of Houston, in the amount of $3,932,804.26.
Vortex has successfully performed similar storm line rehabilitation work for the city. The
proposal was obtained through the HGACBuy Cooperative. A total of 85 calendar days
are allocated for the completion of this project.
Because of urgency, the fund balance will be used for the repairs of the Long Avenue
Storm Sewer. The Long Avenue Storm Sewer Repair project has been placed in the
proposed CIP budget for the coming fiscal year. Assuming the item is approved, the City
will reimburse the fund after bonds have been issued.
Funds will come from the Capital Program.
Councilmember Samuel moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND
HE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO APPROVE A CONTRACT WITH VORTEX COMPANIES OF HOUSTON,
TEXAS FOR THE REPAIR OF THE 5-FT BY 7-FT OVAL-SHAPED STORM LINE ON LONG AVENUE IN THE
AMOUNT OF $3,932,804.26. Councilmember Feldschau seconded the motion.

8.Council to consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement
with Garfield Public/Private LLC to conduct a market study, perform planning and design
services, determine estimated costs and develop a business and financing plan related to
the possible development of a hotel on property owned by the City.
For several decades the city has invested significantly in the redevelopment of Downtown
Beaumont. As a result, Downtown Beaumont serves as the premier location for festivals,
private events and arts and culture in Southeast Texas. However, one key element that
Minutes – July 11, 2023
Downtown Beaumont lacks that almost every successfully redeveloped downtown of this
size has is a full-service hotel downtown. To that end, the city is seeking to move forward
with additional research and study of this project with Garfield Public/Private LLC (GPP).
The City partnered with GPP in December 2022 to conduct a market analysis for a hotel
to be located on property owned by the City. That study has now been completed. The
second phase of the process, being considered here, would cost $60,000 plus travel
expenses of approximately $4,000 for preliminary design and planning of the hotel. This
would include site visits, public input, renderings of the proposed hotel as well as a
presentation of the project.
Funds will come from the General Fund.
Approval of the resolution.
Councilmember Getz moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND HE
IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE THE ADDENDUM TO THE AGREEMENT WITH GARFIELD
PUBLIC/PRIVATE LLC. Councilmember Samuel seconded the motion.

PREPARED BY:Todd Simoneaux, Chief Financial Officer
MEETING DATE:July 18, 2023
REQUESTED ACTION:Council consider a resolution approving annual contracts for the
purchase of ready-mix concrete and heavy materials, for use by
multiple City departments.
BACKGROUND
These materials are used by multiple City departments for general construction, street
repairs/replacement, water and sewer projects, and heavy rock for landfill use. This contract
combines the requirements of each affected department under a single contract rather than
having multiple contracts for the same materials.
Bids were requested from eighty-four (84) vendors and three (3) responded. Administration
recommends Martin Marietta, as the primary vendor and Modern Concrete as the secondary
vendor. Specifications allow for a twelve (12) month contract with the option of two (2) renewals
of twelve (12) month terms at the same pricing as the awarded contract.
Primary and secondary vendors are recommended due to hours of operation and availability as
needed due to City work often occurring on weekends.
Bid tab is attached.
FUNDING SOURCE
In FY 2022, the City spent $390,629.61 with Martin Marietta and $860,358.03 with Gulf Coast a
CRH Company. The purchases were paid from the General (Fund 30.70%) Solid Waste Fund
(15.30%) Capital Program-Street Rehabilitation Program (54%)
RECOMMENDATION

MEETING DATE:July 18, 2023
REQUESTED ACTION:Council consider a resolution approving the purchase of one fire
truck.
BACKGROUND
A 2024 Pierce-Custom Enforcer Pumper truck will be purchased from Siddons-Martin
Emergency Group, of Denton, Texas, in the amount of $1,048,040. Designated to be Engine 3,
the new truck will be housed at Station 3, located at 805 Woodrow St., and will replace unit
7052, a 1998 Pierce Pumper truck with 166,008 miles. It has exceeded the expected service life
and will be disposed of according to the City surplus property policy.
Pricing was obtained through Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC), a cooperative
purchasing association providing cities and political subdivisions with the means to purchase
specialized equipment at volume pricing. H-GAC complies with State of Texas’ procurement
statutes.

project.
BACKGROUND
The City was recently approached about entering into an Industrial Development Agreement in
order to offer economic development incentives for a new hydrogen and ammonia production
facility. The facility would include a carbon capture capability, capturing CO2 during the
production process and conveying it to a nearby carbon sequestration site. In addition to clean
hydrogen production, the facility would also be capable of producing liquid nitrogen, oxygen and
argon. The investment is expected to total $1.7 billion and create up to 1,200 construction jobs
and 30 new permanent jobs. The Agreement proposes an abatement period of 100% for ten years
in order to incentivize the investment. In addition, Linde, Inc. would make three (3) annual
payments to the City of Beaumont in the amount of $1 million, beginning in calendar year 2026
and concluding in calendar year 2028.
