BACKGROUND Mutual aid agreements provide a mechanism for local governments to seek assistance when emergencies present equipment and manpower requirements beyond the capacity of an individual jurisdiction. A number of the City plans reflect collaboration between the City and BISD for facility, manpower, transportation, and other anticipated resource sharing needs. This updated agreement will replace four separate agreements and would rescind all prior mutual aid agreements between our agencies after the required notice is provided. The revised agreement includes specific guidance on point of contact designation, activation of the agreement, initiating requests for assistance, recovering costs, and reflects recent changes in state law (specifically in Government Code 418 during the last legislative session) and official FEMA guidance. Four addendums are provided to support the agreement by providing standard procedures for common coordination functions. FUNDING SOURCE None. RECOMMENDATION Approval of resolution. RESOLUTION NO. WHEREAS, previously the City Council of the City of Beaumont, Texas approved resolutions authorizing the City Manager to execute mutual aid agreements between the City of Beaumont and the Beaumont Independent School District (BISD) for the purpose of emergency management and disaster planning to provide for the protection of life and property in the event of an Emergency; and, WHEREAS, a request has been made to revise the previous mutual aid agreements and replace them with one (1) Mutual Aid Agreement and four (4) confidential Addendums. The new Mutual Aid Agreement is substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof for all purposes.

The hours of operation will be from approximately 6pm until tam and therefore will not impede on the surrounding businesses by way of parking, traffic, development, improvements or safety as the latest St. Charles Plaza business hours end at 9:OOpm. Additionally, we anticipate our business and patrons will not diminish the sales of any nearby establishments, but will, in fact, be another draw for revenue to the area as well as encourage more growth by creating a need, as of yet not met in Beaumont's west end, and will improve property value by providing an upscale and well monitored establishment. All adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary supporting facilities are currently in place and provided and Portus will not require any disruptions or changes to these. The design of the space is within St. Charles Plaza which provides for walkways, driveways and parking spaces which are safe and convenient for all motorized and pedestrian traffic and Portus will not require any changes to such. Portus will not be causing any nuisances by way of offensive fumes, odors, dust, noise or vibration. There will be minimal interior remodeling done prior opening and there will be no kitchen, no loud music and there will be security in place during hours of operation. Portus will not be adding any additional exterior lighting or signage other than the provisional building signage allowed per St. Charles Plaza (i.e. single replacement of front of building signage and single addition to the existing pylon signage, with specifications from Parigi Property management in line with all other businesses within St. Charles Plaza) Portus will not be adding, removing or altering any landscaping whatsoever and will further not make any changes to any area surrounding such. Portus would like to waive any requirements due to landscaping and screening due to existing landscaping and screening. Portus would also like to waive any off-street parking regulations or requirements as well as buffer requirements because they are already exisiting. Further, the location for Portus is not within 300 feet of a church, public or private school or public hospital, nor within 1000 feet of a daycare or childcare facility and will be upholding with the Comprehensive Plan for Beaumont, Texas.

THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRES THAT THE FOLLOWING EIGHT CONDITIONS MUST BE MET BEFORE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT CAN BE ISSUED: 1. The Specific Use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property, nor will it significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity. 2. The establishment of the Specific Use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. 3. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary supporting facilities will be provided. 4. The design, location and arrangement of all driveways and parking spaces provides for the safe and convenient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic without adversely affecting the general public or adjacent development. 5. Adequate nuisance prevention measures will be taken to prevent or control offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise and vibration. 6. Directional lighting will be provided so as not to disturb or adversely affect . neighboring properties. 7. There are sufficient landscaping and screening to insure harmony and compatibility with adjacent property. 8. The proposed use is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. MAAK Construction will insure that the above conditions are met during all phases of the project. Work will be executed in a timely and professional manner. Meanwhile, the construction at the location will prove to be a positive spillover that will appreciate the value of nearby properties as well. In addition, such development will be cosmetically pleasing to the eye. Furthermore, the the county will enjoy the collection of property taxes as well since this land at the moment is underutilized and vacant. In fact, the Jefferson County Appraisal District will tax this location at the commercial tax rate which will yield more promising revenue then the current income generation. Moreover, the location will conduct business in the service industry and thus create more jobs in our area. In conclusion: The Bottom Line Is that Its A WIN WIN Situation for our community.
