The requested franchise is generally the same as those previously approved by City Council. It
provides for a term of one year from its effective date and a franchise fee of seven percent (7%)
of gross revenues received for service. It also requires the entity to indemnify the City of
Beaumont and provide insurance which names the City of Beaumont as a named insured.
According to City Charter, franchise ordinances require readings at three separate Council
meetings, with the third not less than thirty (30) days from the first reading. The ordinance does
not take effect until sixty (60) days after its adoption on the third and final reading. After
passage, the ordinance must be published for four consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City. All publication costs are paid by the franchisee. Attached is a copy of the

PREPARED BY: Chris Boone, Planning & Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2020
REQUESTED ACTION: Council conduct a public hearing and consider a resolution
adopting the Reinvestment Zone Tax Abatement Policy for the
City of Beaumont.
BACKGROUND
The City of Beaumont utilizes a variety of economic development tools in order to encourage
development of a certain type, scale or location within the city and within its extraterritorial
jurisdiction. Each project is evaluated on a case -by -case basis. Once such tool is a
Reinvestment Zone Tax Abatement Policy as allowed under Chapter 312 of the Texas Tax Code.
In order to offer such abatements under Chapter 312, the City must periodically re -adopt its
abatement policy. The Reinvestment Zone Tax Abatement Policy remains unchanged from the
last adoption in 2016. However, changes to Chapter 312 by the State Legislature during the last
session, now require that a public hearing be held for the adoption of the policy.
FUNDING SOURCE
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing and approve the resolution.
RESOLUTION NO.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT:

CITY OF BEAUMONT
REINVESTMENT ZONE
TAX ABATEMENT POLICY
PHILOSOPHY
Tax abatement is an economic development strategy to mitigate the substantial costs usually
associated with the construction of a new or expansion of an existing facility that enhances the
economic and/or social base of the community. Because property tax revenue is the means to
provide vital community services, it is the position of City of Beaumont that tax abatement be
utilized sparingly, and only after careful consideration of the economic impact on the
community. Nothing herein shall imply or warrant that the City of Beaumont is under any
obligation to provide tax abatement to any applicant.
ELIGIBILITY
This policy document provides criteria for eligibility and policy implementation as adopted by
the City Council of the City of Beaumont, in accordance with Texas Tax Code, Chapter 312,
otherwise known as the Property Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act (Act), governing
property tax abatement agreements within Reinvestment Zones. All applications will be
considered on a case -by -case basis.
The following types of enterprises are eligible to apply for tax abatement.
Industrial/Manufacturing - activities such as engaging in the mechanical or
chemical transformation of materials or substances into new products;
assembling component parts of manufactured products, if the new product
is neither a structure nor other fixed improvement; and blending of
materials, such as lubricating oils, plastic toxins or liquors. Other eligible
activities include specialty resins and polymers, pharmaceuticals, medical
devices and specialty foods.
Distribution - activities described as the wholesale distribution of durable
and/or nondurable goods, such as motor vehicles, furniture, lumber and
other construction materials, professional and commercial equipment,
electrical goods, hardware and plumbing and heating equipment, paper
and paper products, apparel and groceries.
Central administrative office services - examples include performing
management, support services or telecommunication functions for related
entities.
Properties subject to a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ) Voluntary Cleanup Program Agreement.
Eligible property for which abatement may be granted includes non-residential real property
and/or tangible personal property located on the real property other than that personal property
EXHIBIT "A"
that was located on the real property at any time before the abatement agreement is executed.
Abatement of taxes shall be the value of real or personal property located on the property for
each year of the Tax Abatement Agreement only to the extent that the value for the year exceeds
the value for the year in which the agreement was executed. Excluded from eligible personal
property are inventory or supplies. Personal property with a useful life of less than ten years is
also not eligible for tax abatement.
A. The City of Beaumont herein ("Governmental Entity") adopts these guidelines and
criteria for tax abatement ("Policy") for real property owners who propose a project
("Project") to develop, redevelop and improve taxable qualifying real property ("Real
Property"). The Governmental Entity is willing to provide a subsidy to a Real Property
Owner in the form of a special exemption from certain taxes provided the Real Property
Owner agrees to accept and abide by this Policy. If the Real Property owner leases said
property to a third party, the Governmental Entity may require assurances that the
conditions outlined in this policy for the Real Property Owner will be met.
B. The abatement of ad valorem taxes on Real Property Improvements and Eligible Personal
Property will be evaluated and determined according to the following formula and will be
subject to the remaining terms of this policy.
NUMBER OF NEW
PERCENT OF CREATED CAPITAL COST OF FULL-TIME JOBS
VALUE TO BE ABATED THE PROJECT (OR) TO BE CREATED
$ 0 - $ 500,000 Not Applicable
100% for 2 yrs. after project completion $ 500,001 - $2,000,000 20-30
100% for 3 years $2,000,001 - $3,500,000 31-40
100% for 4 years $3,500,001 - $5,000,000 41-50
Individual Case Basis $5,000,001 or more 51 or more
A full-time equivalent employment position is one that provides at least 2,080 hours annually
within the City's taxing jurisdiction. The number of full-time equivalent employment positions
is determined by adding the total number of hours worked and/or actual paid leave (such as
vacation, sick leave, jury duty) of all employees, less overtime hours, and dividing that sum by
2,080. All existing jobs as well as those created must be maintained throughout the term of a tax
abatement agreement.
C. With respect to a Project with a minimum investment of $5,000,001, each tax abatement
request will be individually reviewed by the Governmental Entity and approved or
declined based on the merits of the application. The percentage of taxes abated is one
hundred percent abatement until Project Completion, not to exceed the first and second
Tax Year. The percentage of taxes abated for the first through fifth Tax Years next
following Project Completion shall be that percentage of abatement granted by the
Governmental Entity at the time of the application.
The City Council may extend the abatement period longer than the periods stated above if
warranted based on an analysis of the direct economic impact.
2
The period of time that the taxes are abated will be referred to as the "Abatement Period".
The "first Tax Year" is defined as the first full calendar year next following the
commencement of construction of the Project.
PROPERTIES SUBJECT TO
VOLUNTARY CLEANUP AGREEMENT
Tax abatement may apply to properties that are subject to a Voluntary Cleanup Program
Agreement as executed with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in
accordance with §361.601 et. seq. of the Health and Safety Code for the cleanup or removal of a
hazardous substance or contaminant from the environment, as follows:
Capital Expenditure
Minimum of $250,000
Abatement Years
100% 1
75% 2
50% 3
25% 4
Tax abatement for such properties shall not exceed four years and will take effect on January 1
of the year following the date the property owner receives a certificate of completion for the
property. The City of Beaumont may cancel or modify the agreement if it determines that the
use of the land is changed from the use specified in the certificate of completion, and the new use
may result in an increased risk to human health or the environment.
D. Prior to beginning the actual construction work or buying personal property for the
Project proposed for tax abatement, the Real Property Owner requesting tax abatement
within a lawfully created reinvestment zone must:
(1) Provide the Governmental Entity with (a) a description of the Project clearly
defining and delineating the work to perform; (b) a statement agreeing to expend
a designated amount ("Project Cost") for the Project and, if the abatement is based
on Required Jobs, a separate statement agreeing that the required minimum
number of full-time jobs will be created ("Required Jobs") and maintained during
the term of the Contract; (c) an explanation as to how the Project will provide
long term significant positive economic benefit to the community, the.
Governmental Entity and its taxpayers; (d) information as to what attempt will be
made to utilize Jefferson County contractors and workers; and (e) information as
to what attempt will be made to utilize Jefferson County minority contractors and
workers.
(2) Furnish the Governmental Entity with a written statement that tax abatement will
be a significant factor in determining whether the Project for the development,
redevelopment or improvement of the Real Property will take place.
(3) Agree to execute a Contract with the Governmental Entity containing the
covenants and conditions required by the Governmental Entity.
E. Should the Governmental Entity agree to grant an abatement to the Real Property Owner
after compliance with the procedure outlined above, then:
(1) Subject to the terms and conditions of the contract, a stipulated percentage as set
forth above of those particular ad valorem real property taxes ("Taxes") which are
generated by virtue of fair market value created ("Created Value") solely due to
the construction and completion of the Project on the real Property will be abated.
(2) The Period of Construction ("Construction Period") for the Project shall not go
beyond the end of the second Tax Year. During the Construction Period the Real
Property Owner must actually expend the Project Cost.
(3) Within six months next following the end of the Construction Period, the Project
must be operational; i.e., it must actively serve the purpose for which it is
designed.
(4) In the event the Project is either:
(a) Not complete at the Minimum Cost by the end of the Construction Period;
or
(b) Is timely completed at the Minimum Cost but is not operational within six
months next following the end of the Construction Period; or
(c) Is timely completed but the Required Jobs are not created or maintained as
set forth in paragraph (B); or
(d) Is timely completed at the Minimum Cost, is operational within six
months next following the end of the Construction Period and, if
applicable, meets the job requirements, but its operations are discontinued
for a continuous period of six months, then the Contract shall terminate
with respect to the Project and so shall the abatement of Taxes for the
Created Value of the Project. The Taxes otherwise abated with respect to
the Project shall be paid to the Governmental Entity on the date specified
by law, or, if such date has passed, then within sixty (60) days of the
accelerated termination of the Abatement Period.
(5) Employees and/or designated representatives of the Governmental Entity will
have access to the Project during the term of the contract for inspection purposes
so as to determine if the terms and conditions of the Contract are being met. All
inspections will be made only after the giving of twenty-four (24) hours prior
notice and will only be conducted in such a manner as to not unreasonably
interfere with the construction and/or operation of the Project. All inspections
will be made with one or more representatives of the Real Property Owner, and in
accordance with its safety standards.
(6) In the event that (a) The Real Property Owner allow its ad valorem taxes owed the
Governmental Entity to become delinquent and fails to timely and properly follow
the legal procedures for their protest and/or contest; or (b) the Real Property
Owner violates any of the terms and conditions of the Contract, and fails to cure
during the Cure Period (as hereafter provided), then the Contract may be
terminated by the Governmental Entity, and all taxes otherwise abated by virtue
of the Contract will be recaptured and paid to the Governmental Entity by the
Real Property Owner within sixty (60) days of the termination.
(7) The term "Base Year Value" as used herein is the market value of all realty
improvements of the Real Property Owner located within the taxing entity as of
January 1 of the year a contract is executed less the abated value of all projects
granted the Real Property Owner by the taxing entity for the "Base Year". The
term "Taxable Value" is determined by deducting the amount of any abatements
granted for that Tax Year from the appraised market value of all realty
improvements of the Real Property Owner located within that taxing entity. If on
January lst of any Tax Year all of the legally determined realty improvements
owned by the Real Property Owner within the jurisdiction of the Governmental
Entity is less than the legally determined Base Year Value and/or in the event that
the Real Property Owner reduces their ad valorem taxes on personal property
otherwise payable to the Governmental Entity by participating in a foreign trade
zone or by having otherwise taxable property exempted pursuant to special
legislation, e.g., the "Freeport Amendment" ("Special Treatment"), then the
abatement otherwise available shall be reduced by one dollar for each dollar that
the taxable value is less than the Base Year Value and, also, for each dollar of tax
reduction attributable to Special Treatment; provided, however, that in no event
shall the offset exceed the Created Value of the Project otherwise subject to the
abatement of taxes.
(8) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary in the event that the
Governmental Entity adopting this Policy is required to adopt a tax rate which
would subject the Entity to a tax rollback election under Section 26.07 of the
Property Tax Code, and this increase is caused by requirements set forth by the
State; mandated by the judiciary; expenses required to repair, rebuild or
rehabilitate improvements which are damaged or destroyed; or due to a significant
decline in value of a major industrial complex located in the jurisdiction of the
Entity, then the Entity may allocate the taxable value necessary to reduce the
actual rate below the rollback rate to the Owners of abated property based on the
Owner's prorate share of the total abated value for the current tax year.
(9) Should the Governmental Entity determine that the Real Property Owner is in
default in the terms and conditions of the Contract, then the Governmental Entity
will notify the Real Property Owner at the address stated in the Contract of such
claimed default, and if such is not cured within sixty (60) days from the date of
such notice ("Cure Period"), the Contract may be terminated by the Governmental
Entity. Any notice of default shall be in writing and shall be given by personal
delivery or by certified mail, return receipt requested. In the event the notice is
affected by personal delivery, the date and hour of actual delivery shall be the
time and date of such notice to the Business. Absent a postal strike or the
stoppage of the mails, in the event of delivery of notice by registered or certified
United States mail, the date and hour following 48 hours after the date and hour at
which the sealed envelope containing the notice is deposited in the United States
mail, properly addressed, and with postage prepaid, shall be the time and date of
such notice to Real Property Owner.
F. The Governmental Entity adopting this Policy shall have the final decision with respect
to its interpretation and, also, as to whether the minimum standards set forth above have
been met by the Real Property Owner.
G. This Policy shall terminate on the second anniversary from the date of its adoption by the
Governmental Entity.
