Whereas in the event of a Public Health Emergency event in the State of Texas, local and
regional health and medical infrastructure and associated resources will be quickly committed to
providing the necessary treatment and supporting strategies to effectively respond to a potential
evolving event or to support the response to an actual event;
Whereas the existing local and regional medical and health infrastructure will also be
compromised due to lack of adequate staff, equipment, and pharmaceutical support available due
to the impacts and demands of the event;
Whereas resources from the state, federal, and private sector will be quickly mobilized to
augment local and regional medical and health resources and support the effective management
and distribution of the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS);
Now therefore, the parties agree as follows:
A. Defmitions:
c Push Site - During a public health emergency that requires preventive medications be
provided to large numbers of people, a Push Site is a facility within a,jurisdiction that is
designated to either receive medication or to pick up medication in order to provide it to a
group of people who would otherwise have to travel to a point of dispensing (POD) to
receive the preventive medication. Push sites must have medical or pharmacy personnel
and volunteers capable of providing the preventive medications to the facility population,
staff, and others as locally determined.
o RSS Push Site — Receives medications directly from the State RSS warehouse
facility.

Decently, I met with the City Manager and some member's of his staff, regarding the
golf cart fees at the Henry Homberg Golf Course. Presently, Senior Citizens who have yearly
memberships pay $7,00 to rent a cart for 9 holes of play and $14°00 for 18 holes of play.
When you and I spoke recently, I said that I would submit a proposal for consideration.
However, I am asking you to recommend that all senior citizens who purchase yearly
memberships and who are residents of Beaumont; would be allowed to pay $5000 for cart
rentals for 9 -18 holes of play.
Also stated) in our conversation, proof of residency should not be hard to establish,
since %ive are required to have an I.D. in order to vote,
Thanks for your consideration and I'm available for any type of discussion that you may
need with me. Listed below will be my contact info,
Thank You and Have a Great Day,
