Offering exclusive support of this project will greatly increase the chances that this project is awarded tax credits by TDHCA and is developed. In addition, offering . development funding in the form of a fee waiver of at least $500 would result in additional points during the HTC scoring process. In addition, the proposed development is located in the redeveloping downtown. This area of Downtown' Beaumont has been designated as a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone, designated as an Opportunity Zone and has been designated for redevelopment in several City plans over the years.

BACKGROUND The City has a parking lot at both the Gulf Terrace Hike and Bike Trail and the Folsom Hike and Bike Trail. Each of the parking lots has experienced multiple burglaries of parked cars. During 2020 there were 16 at Folsom and 13 at Gulf Terrace. The last burglary at either location was December 16, 2020. Installing permanent video surveillance at each of the lots will require Entergy to provide power to the -site and then City personnel would install a pole and the contractor would install the video equipment on that pole. After evaluating the sites, City staff would use an Axis P3717-PLE multi -directional camera at each location. This camera incorporates 4 lenses within the housing that allows for a 360 degree range. By this approach, we can cover a lot of area while keeping camera costs lower. For storage and communications, an Eagle Eye bridge with a Cradlepoint Cellular Router would be installed. Estimated installation costs per location are: Folsom: • Video Hardware: $3,899 • Networking Equipment: $1,060 • Entergy power to the site: $3,000-4,000 • Pole to hang equipment: $500 • .Total: $8,459-9,459 Gulf Terrace: • Video Hardware: $3,899 • Networking Equipment: $1,060 • Entergy power to the site: $7,000-8,500 • Pole to hang equipment: $500 • Total: $12,459-$13,959 There will be $1,055 in yearly costs per location for cellular and licensing fees. FUNDING SOURCE Capital Reserve Fund if approved. Funds are not budgeted for this project. RECOMMENDATION This item was placed on the agenda for consideration by Councilmember Getz and Mayor Pro -Tern Feldschau. RESOLUTION NO. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the City Manager be authorized to install permanent video surveillance equipment at the Gulf Terrace and Folsom Hike & Bike Trails parking lots. The meeting at which this resolution was approved was in all things conducted in strict compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 551. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 2"d day of February, 2021. - Mayor Becky Ames - 5 February 2, 2021 Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to go out for bids for the construction of a dog park at Rogers Park TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager MEETING DATE: February 2, 2021 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider authorizing the City Manager to go out for bids for the construction of a dog park at Rogers Park BACKGROUND Councilmembers Getz and Neild have requested a vote by the City Council to construct.a dog park at Rogers Park. If approved, the Facilities Maintenance Department will move forward to develop specifications for the project and go out for bids for construction. The dog park would have similar amenities as the one located at Ida Reed Park. FUNDING SOURCE This project is not funded.. If approved, funds would be paid for out of the Capital Reserve Fund. Because -the specific amenities have not been finalized, the cost estimate is between $75,000 to $100,000. RESOLUTION NO. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the City Manager be and he is hereby authorized to solicit bids for the construction of a dog park at Rogers Park. The meeting at which this resolution was approved was in all things conducted in strict compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 551. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 2"d day of February, 2021. - Mayor Becky Ames - Kyle Hayes From: mdgetz@aol.com Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2021 3:09 AM To: Kyle Hayes Cc: taylor@hbneild.com Subject: "EXTERNAL" Fwd: "EXTERNAL" Proposed Dog Park at Rogers Park Kyle - I am requesting an agenda item to construct a dog park at Rogers Park be placed on the agenda next week for an up or down vote. Councilmember Neild is my second. A budget estimate has been previously prepared by Keith Folsom of $116,980 with a concrete apron running under the fence. I personally think the apron is unnecessary as it adds $37,800,to the price. Without the concrete apron, the cost is reduced to $79,180.00. But I am good either way. A parking lot off of Gladys would be nice but at an additional cost of an additional $98,000.00, 1 am not sure it is necessary at this time. It may want to be considered to construct the dog park with an eye towards construction of the parking lot in the future. While I realize this is not a budgeted item, you noted this past week the extremely healthy position of our fund balance. We have also been the beneficiary of the proceeds of the sale'of the Melton facility and the former Fire Station Number One as well as the associate relief from the financial burden of maintaining these facilities. This is a quality of life item that is relatively inexpensive. It will provide a good return on investment because the cost of the project relative to the likely use of the dog park is low. Nearly 2,500 people have signed a petition requesting this Dog Park be constructed and I think that it is time to move forward on it. Michael D.

Michael D. Getz City Council member, Ward 2 On Wednesday, November 18, 2020 Kyle Hayes <Kyle.Hayes@BeaumontTexas.gov> wrote: i Mayor and Council, Good morning! I added the construction of three possible dog parks, at three locations to be determined by the City Council, in the FY 2020 Capital Program under "Projects for Consideration." I removed it from the FY 2021 Capital Program because while these improvements would be nice amenities to have, they are; not a priority due to the financial challenges we face. We basically streamlined the entire list of projects listed in the Capital Program. Councilman Getz requested that an estimate be provided for 4 possible dog park at Rogers Park. He would like to have a work session on this subject. At this time, I do not have a Councilmember who has seconded this request in writing. Please do not respond to this group e-mail. I simply wanted all of you to have the same information being provided to him. If this request gets a second, I will let all of you know and schedule it as a discussion item. The project is not listed in the Capital Program or the Capital Reserve (where we budget for equipment and vehicle purchases as well as some facility improvements). If the Council were to approve a new dog park, funds would need to be approved out of the fund balance in the General Fund or the Capital Reserve Fund. Thanks.
