(Herein "the properties") 2. By the term "Assessed Value" is meant the 100% valuation of the Lucite International, Inc. taxable properties, as determined by the Jefferson County Appraisal District for the previous tax year. "Assessed value" does not include (and such value shall be excluded from the provisions of this Agreement) the value, in whole or in part, of any property owned by Company, whether real, personal or mixed, which would not be subject to ad valorem taxation by the City pursuant to any current or future local, state or federal law, (whether by reason of exemption, exclusion, allocation, abatement or otherwise) if such property were located within the taxing jurisdiction of City.

Payment Procedures The procedures for determining and making such payments shall be as follows: (a) The payment for 2016 shall be due and payable on or before February 1, 2016.

This assessed value less exclusions as described in Article 10 shall be used in the calculation of the payment. If the assessed values for the period required are in question and/or under litigation with the Jefferson County Appraisal District, payment shall be computed on the most recent certified values from the Jefferson County Appraisal District. The Company shall notify the City following resolution of the appraised value question and if the final resolution reduces the value of the Company's properties, the Company's liability hereunder shall be recalculated based on the final determination of value and City shall, within 30 days following such resolution refund GAIndustrial Contracts\Agreements 2016-2022\Lucite Intemational 2016 - Revised.doc 3 to Company the difference between the amount actually paid hereunder and the amount for which Company is determined to be liable, together with interest thereon from the date of tender of payment by Company to the date of payment by City of such refund at the rate specified in Section 42.43 of the Texas Property Tax Code for interest on tax refunds. Should such final resolution increase the value of Company's properties, the Company's liabilities shall be recalculated based on the final determination of value and Company shall pay within 30 days following such resolution the increased amount due to the City under their agreement plus interest from the date such payment should have been made to City under their contract. Interest shall be calculated in accordance with the tax code provisions for interest as calculated in Section 42.43 of the Texas Property Tax Code. (b) After the assessed value of the Company's properties has been determined, the value of the property shall be calculated in accordance with the following schedule: The 2017 and 2018 payments shall be 80% of assumed City taxes due, except such payment shall not exceed or be less than the previous year's payment by more than 10%. The 2019 thru 2022 payments shall be 75% of assumed City taxes due, except the payment shall not exceed or be less than the previous year's payment by more than 7%. (c) City hereby agrees to bill Company for its payments due hereunder on or before January 1 each year. Company shall pay to City such amount billed on or before February 1 each year or within 30 days of the delivery of such bill, whichever is later. Upon receiving the final payment, the Finance Officer shall issue an official receipt of said City acknowledging full, timely, final and complete payment due by said Company to City for the property involved in this Agreement for the year in which such payment is made. If any annual payment is not made greements 2016-20221Lucite Intemational 2016 - Revised.doc 4 on or before any due date, the same penalties, interest, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of collection shall be recoverable by the City as would be collectible in the case of delinquent ad valorem taxes.

In determining the assessed value of the Company facilities there is to be excluded therefrom the value of any new plant facilities, replacement, modernization or additions that significantly increase the assessed value of Company's properties. "Significantly increase" shall be defined as an increase in assessed value of fifty percent (50%) or more above the prior year's assessed value of Company's properties excluding land. Any number of projects (whether new construction, replacement, modernization or additions) may be added together to determine whether they aggregate a significant increase in the assessed value of Company's properties so long as construction of each project begins within a single twelve (12) month period. This exclusion will be restricted to include only a new and distinct processing facility, replacement, modernization of or additions to present facilities, and shall not include the maintenance, reconditioning, upgrading, refurbishing or repairing of existing process facilities. The intent of this exclusion is to encourage major new capital investment within the extraterritorial environs of the City. Determination of qualifications for this exclusion shall be made by the City Manager upon petition by Company and presentation of all pertinent data. Company shall notify the City Manager of its intention to claim an exclusion at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the end of the calendar year prior to the year in which the exclusion will take place. Subject to the upper and lower limitations on payments set out in Article I 4 (b) hereof Company agrees that to whatever extent that the non -excluded plant's assessed value on realty improvements is reduced for whatever reason (excepting from fire, explosion, or other casualty or accident or from any natural disaster), an equivalent amount GAIndustrial ContractsWgrmments 2016-20221Lucite Intemational 2016 - Revised.doc 10 (dollar for dollar) of assessed value on realty improvements of the excluded facilities shall be deemed for the purposes of this agreement to lose its exclusion for the current year and accordingly shall be deemed to be included in the non -excluded plant's total assessed value and payments shall be calculated and made by Company thereon to City for the subsequent year, however, in no event shall the offset exceed the fair market value of the realty improvements that would otherwise be excluded. Company agrees to provide the City Manager with all the information necessary for the City Manager to determine whether the expenditure by the Company is qualified for exclusion. The exclusion shall commence the first calendar year following the completion of construction and it shall be in the amount of 100% for the first, second and third years, 75% of value for the fourth and fifth years, and 50% of value for the sixth and seventh years. The exclusions provided by this Article shall survive the term of this Agreement and shall be included in any subsequent Industrial District Agreement between the parties or in an abatement agreement should the Company's property be annexed. It is the parties' intentions that any increases in value qualifying for exclusion should receive the benefits of exclusion for the full seven years after the completion of construction regardless of the number of years remaining in the term of this Agreement. 2. In determining the assessed value of the Company's facilities, there is also to be excluded therefrom the value of incomplete construction also known as construction in progress. This exclusion applies to new and distinct plant facilities, replacements, modernization of or additions to present facilities as specified in item (1) above, regardless of whether such will significantly increase the assessed values of Companies properties. GAIndustrial ContractsWgreements 2016-2022\Lucite Intemational 2016 - Revised.doc 11 3. If a question arises relating to the exclusion amount, payment shall be made based on the last certified assessed value, without the questioned exclusion. An adjustment to the payment, if any, shall be made following resolution of the question. The determination concerning whether a capital expenditure by Company is qualified for exclusion hereunder shall be made by the City Manager. Any appeal of the decision of the City Manager shall be made in writing to the City Council within fifteen (15) days of the decision of the Manager. The decision of the City Council shall be final. ARTICLE X CONTINUATION If this Agreement shall be held invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not affect the right of City to any payment made or accruing to City hereunder prior to such adjudication, and this provision is intended to be an independent and separable provision not to be affected by such adjudication.

PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 10th day of November, 2015. - Mayor Becky Ames - v November 10, 2015 Consider a resolution approving an agreement with Government Payment Services, Inc. (GPS) for processing payments for cash bail and fines after arrest TEXAS TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer MEETING DATE: November 10, 2015 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution approving an agreement with Government Payment Services, Inc. (GPS) for processing payments for cash bail and fines after arrest. • fK1T3911RI In a work session held on September 29, 2015, Staff discussed the change that the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office had made whereby the jail would no longer accept payments on behalf of the City for a defendant to be released. Effective October 1, 2015, Municipal Court began accepting payments and issuing releases seven days per week. This has been an interim measure until another solution could be identified that would be more convenient and efficient for all parties involved. GovPayNet by Government Payments Services, Inc. (GPS) specializes in processing credit, debit, and prepaid debit card payments for cash bail and fines to government agencies, on behalf of defendants. The company was founded by a former Sheriff in 1997. GovPayNet is provided at no cost to the City; instead, a service fee is assessed to the defendant on each cash bail and fine paid. All major credit cards are accepted and payments can be made online or by phone 24/7/365. Telephone payments are taken by live agents and bilingual agents are also available. GovPayNet takes direct responsibility for any and all chargebacks, Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security compliance, and compliance with card rules. When a payment is made, a Transaction Payment Confirmation is sent to the jail and serves as the release for the defendant. 911 Dispatch staff will temporarily put a hold on the warrant until the next business day upon receiving the same confirmation of payment from GovPayNet. The service fee paid by the defendant for a cash bail payment is 7% while the service fee for fines and fees is 3.5% via the internet or 5% via telephone with minimums of $3.50 and $5.00, respectively. Upon approval, GovPayNet should be implemented in 20 to 30 days. The agreement is attached for review. Jefferson County has agreed to allow bondsman to post surety bonds on behalf of the defendants because it does not require monies to be exchanged. The transaction is between the defendant and the bondsman and the defendant is released based on the bond document. GovPayNet November 10, 2015 Page 2 In conclusion, a defendant will be able to be released from jail by posting a cash bond or by paying the fine in full using GovPayNet or through a surety bond posted by a bondsman. There will no longer be a need for Municipal Court to be staffed seven days per week. A report recapping the collections taken in October 2015 is attached. FUNDING SOURCE No cost to the city.

The requested franchise is generally the same as those previously approved by City Council.
