zoned RCR-H (Residential Conservation Revitalization - Historic) District at 2305, 2307,
2315 North Street and 637 7th Street.
Rebecca Bates Pitre, on behalf of NAI Wheeler, is requesting permission for uses such
as, but not limited to, real estate, insurance, advertising agencies, legal, investment,
engineering, and accounting. This property is located in the Oaks Historic District and
has been occupied by such uses for over thirty (30) years. To avoid each office space
needing a specific use permit every time a tenant leaves, Ms. Pitre hopes this request
will encompass all uses similar to those listed.
At a Joint Public Hearing held February 16, 2015, the Planning Commission
recommended 6:0 to approve a specific use permit to allow professional offices on
property zoned RCR-H (Residential Conservation Revitalization - Historic) District at
2305, 2307, 2315 North Street and 637 7th Street, subject to the following condition:

2. Consider a resolution authorizing the execution of an Amended and Restated
Feedstock Supply and Fuel Processing Agreement with Fair Energy Operations -
Beaumont, LLC to purchase municipal solid waste from the City of Beaumont.
On December 18, 2012 the City Council authorized the execution of an Agreement with
Fair Energy Operations -Beaumont, LLC to purchase and process municipal solid waste
into diesel fuel and other recyclables. Since that time, Fair Energy has requested an
amendment to the agreement to reflect certain changes in the processes and
byproducts to be produced. The company anticipates that it will not only process the
municipal solid waste into diesel fuel as originally indicated, but has also identified
certain other recyclables such bio -oil, bio -char, plastics, syn -gas, aluminum, ferrous and
non-ferrous metals, cardboard, and other related products. The other changes
reflected are the expected quantities of Feedstock to be delivered to the company and
the amount of the payment to be made to the City. The anticipated amount of
Feedstock to be delivered to the company is reduced from 1,400 to 1,100 tons per
week. As a result, the payment to the City is to be reduced from a bi-annual payment
of $200,000 to $162,500 bi-annually.
Additionally, in order to secure financing of its operation, Fair Energy is requesting the
City to grant consent to the terms of a Collateral Assignment of the Beaumont Supply
Agreement as amended assigning a continuing security interest in all rights, title,
interest and claims of Fair Energy in the Amended and Restated Feedstock Supply and
Processing Agreement to Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. Under
this collateral assignment, Fair Energy will continue to be responsible for the exercise of
all of the rights, benefits and privileges under the Supply Agreement so long as it is not
in default under the terms of the assignment. In the event of a default, Wilmington
Minutes — March 17, 2015
Trust would assume all responsibilities and obligations under the Amended and
Restated Feedstock Supply Agreement with the City of Beaumont. By this action the
Council is being asked to consider an amendment to the agreement and consent to its
assignment as collateral.
Approval of resolution.

3. Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendments No. 2,to
the General Land Office (the "GLO") Round 2.1 Contract No. 12-214-000-5514 and
Round 2.2 Contract No. 13-239-000-7429 related to the South Park Drainage Project
and the Avenue A Project.
On December 4, 2011, the City of Beaumont was awarded funding through the 2008
Texas Community Development Block Grant Ike Disaster Recovery Fund for Round 2.1
for the South Park Drainage Improvement Project. In December 20, 2012, the City of
Beaumont was also awarded funding by The General Land Office (the "GLO") for
Round 2.2 for the Avenue A, Magnolia Avenue from E. Lucas to Gill Street, Fire Station
No. 2 and the Beaumont Health Department Projects.
For the Round 2.1 Amendment No. 2, the City plans to reduce the scope of the South
Park Drainage Improvement Project while asking that additional funds be made
available for the project. The issues that have contributed to these changes are due to
the rising cost of construction and changes to the project to avoid conflict with a 72"
water line that was discovered under the Kansas City Southern Railway Company
tracks. If approved, $2,376,853.00 will be shifted from the Avenue A Project to the
South Park Drainage Project. In addition, Round 2.2 Amendment No. 2, the City is
reducing the scope of the Avenue A Project. The Reductions are necessary to pay for

5. Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit an application for grant
funding to the Texas Water Development Board for the Master Drainage Plan Project
and accept the funds if awarded.
On November 12, 2014, by Resolution No. 14-244, City Council authorized the City
Manager to execute an agreement with Lockwood, Andrews, Newnam, Inc. (LAN) of
Houston, Texas in an amount not to exceed $500,000 to fund the first phase of a
Master Drainage Plan for the City of Beaumont.
The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) is currently offering grants to political
subdivisions of the State of Texas for the evaluation of structural and non-structural
solutions to flooding issues. The City of Beaumont Master Drainage Plan project meets
the qualifying project requirements. The City will apply for grant funds in the amount of
$250,000 which would be used to expand the scope of the Master Drainage Plan.

6. Consider a resolution awarding an annual contract to Martin Asphalt, Inc., of Houston,
for the purchase of asphalt, road oil and emulsions utilized in the Streets and Drainage
Division.
Bids were requested for an annual contract to provide asphalts, road oils and emulsions
for use by the Streets and Drainage Division for repair and maintenance of city streets.
In addition to repair, these materials are used in the Street Rehabilitation Program.
Although Cleveland Asphalt, Inc. was the low bid, it is recommended that the bid from
Martin Asphalt, Inc. be accepted as the best value to the City.
The contract calls for City pickup of materials not vendor delivery. The Cleveland
Asphalt plant is located north of Shepherd, Texas which is 160 miles, round trip, from
Beaumont. The cost of sending City trucks and drivers on the three to four hour round
trip is not economically justifiable. The Martin Asphalt facility is in Port Neches and has
held this contract for several years.
Capital Program and General Fund -Public Works Department.
Approval of resolution.
Councilmember Wright moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE BID SUBMITTED BY
MARTIN ASPHALT, INC., OF HOUSTON, TEXAS, FOR A CONTRACT TO PURCHASE ASPHALT, ROAD

Improvement Project Phase I (Amarillo St. to ML King Parkway) in the amount of

Minutes — March 17. 2015
