Consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Garfield Public/Private LLC to conduct a market study, perform planning and design services, determine estimated costs and develop a business and financing plan related to the possible development of a hotel on property owned by the City. For several decades, the city has invested significantly in the redevelopment of Downtown Beaumont. As a result, Downtown Beaumont serves as the premier location for festivals, private events and arts and culture in Southeast Texas. However, one key element that Downtown Beaumont lacks that almost every successfully redeveloped downtown of this size has is a full-service hotel in its downtown. To that end, the City is seeking to enter into an agreement with Garfield Public/Private LLC (GPP) to conduct a market analysis, perform planning and design services, determine estimated costs, and develop a business and financing plan related to the possible development of a hotel on property owned by the City. It should be noted that the Agreement contains multiple phases of work, and the Agreement shall be terminated should the initial market study find that the project is not feasible. The initial costs of the work would be $40,000 for the market study. Should the market study indicate feasibility for the project, additional costs would include$40,000 for design work and $25,000 for construction estimate services along with a fee paid to GPP of $72,000. The total cost for the service would be $177,000 plus travel, data acquisition and other minor expenses. Funds will come from the General Fund. Approval of the resolution. Councilmember Getz moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND HE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH GARFIELD PUBLIC/PRIVATE LLC, TO CONDUCT A MARKET STUDY,TO PERFORM AND DESIGN SERVICES,DETERMINE ESTIMATED COSTS AND DEVELOP A BUSINESS AND FINANCING PLAN RELATED TO THE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF A HOTEL ON PROPERTY OWNED BY THE CITY WITH A COST TOTALING $177,000.00 PLUS TRAVEL, DATA ACQUISITION, AND OTHER EXPENSES. Councilmember Turner seconded the motion. AYES: MAYOR MOUTON,MAYOR PRO TEM DURIO,COUNCILMEMBERS GETZ,TURNER, FELDSCHAU, SAMUEL AND NEILD NAYS: NONE Minutes—December 12,2022 MOTION PASSED Resolution 22-336 2. Consider authorizing the City Manager to approve grant funding for Lamar University related to equipment used for the local Public, Educational, and Government Channel. In 2005, the Texas Legislature passed legislation enacting a new Chapter 66 to the Texas Utilities Code, authorizing a state-issued certificate of franchise authority for cable and video providers. Within Chapter 66, it specifies that the operation of public, educational and governmental (PEG) access channels for noncommercial programming shall be the responsibility of the municipality receiving the benefit of such channel. Currently the City of Beaumont operates the governmental PEG channel and Lamar University operates the educational PEG channel under agreement with the City of Beaumont. Lamar University is requesting funding for a new, improved, and more robust LUTV Channel 7 for students, the university, and the Southeast Texas community through the construction of a new television studio and the acquisition of new production equipment. The City of Beaumont agrees to reimburse Lamar University up to $729,132.88 for the purposes of this project. The reimbursement will be from monies received from Spectrum that are restricted for capital expenditures for public and governmental programming. Funds will come from the Public Education Government Programming (PEG) Fund. Approval of resolution. Councilmember Feldschau moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND HE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO GRANT FUNDING FOR LAMAR UNIVERSITY UP TO THE AMOUNT OF $279,132.88 FOR THE EQUIPMENT USED FOR THE LOCAL PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL,AND GOVERNMENT (PEG)CHANNEL AND THAT THE CITY MANAGER IS AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH LAMAR UNIVERSITY TO FACILITATE EXPENDITURES OF THE GRANT FUNDING FOR THE LOCAL PUBLIC EDUCATION,AND GOVERNMENT(PEG)CHANNEL.

These temporary staff services include guard supervisors, armed guards, unarmed guards, overnight guards, ushers, and ticket takers. Each event has a unique set of staffing requirements. Factors including location and type of event being held, the size of the expected crowd and event promoter's specific needs dictate the number of temporary staff positions to be filled as well as the number of hours to be worked at each event. Currently, security guards are utilized at Municipal Court. Bids were solicited from five security companies. Two companies responded with bids. The quoted hourly rates were applied to five model events at various venues, as well as Security Guard positions within City departments. The contract term is for three years with the option of two - one-year extensions at the price bid. Staff recommends awarding the contract to Patriot Security Inc., of Nederland, who holds the current contract, with a projected annual cost of$419,997.90. This includes pricing for guards at City Hall and the Health Department that are currently not being utilized. The cost of Security Guard services utilized within the Event Facilities Department are reimbursed by event promoters.
