1. Consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into a 380 Economic Development
Agreement as well as a lease agreement with CDP II CO2 Sequestration, LLC of Houston,
Texas for economic development incentives during the development of a carbon
sequestration facility within City property.
The City was recently approached about entering into a 380 Economic Development
Agreement as well as a lease agreement with CDP II CO2 Sequestration, LLC of Houston,
Texas for economic development incentives during the development of a carbon
sequestration facility within undeveloped City-owned property, south of the landfill. Carbon
sequestration is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide deep underground in
order to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere with the goal of
reducing climate change.
Minutes— April 25,2023
The agreement includes a twenty-four(24) month exclusivity/feasibility period, along with an
optional additional twenty-four-month exclusivity period in exchange for a payment of
$100,000 to the City. During this exclusivity/feasibility period, the developer has the option to
move forward with the project or not. This agreement would allow for the capture and
storage of CO2 in exchange for a one-time payment of $100,000 per injection well, a
payment to the city of$1 per metric ton of CO2 captured, with a minimum of 250,000 metric
tons or $250,000, plus a payment to the city of $50,000 per year during the fifty-year
monitoring period.
Approval of Resolution.
Councilmember Neild moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND HE IS
HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO A 380 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND A LEASE
AGREEMENT WITH CPD II CO2 SEQUESTRATION, LLC, OF HOUSTON, TEXAS FOR ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CARBON SEQUESTRATION FACILITY
WITHIN UNDEVELOPED CITY-OWNED PROPERTY, SOUTH OF THE LANDFILL. Mayor Pro Tern Durio

RESOLUTION 23-114
2. Consider a request for amendments to the Zoning Ordinance concerning the Board of
Adjustment, Section 28.02.005(3)(B).
In order for the Board of Adjustment to grant a variance, the applicant has the burden to
prove all of the following:
(A) That the granting of the variance will not be contrary to the public interest; and
(B) That literal enforcement of the chapter will result in unnecessary hardship
because of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, shape, topography or other
extraordinary or exceptional physical situation or physical condition unique to
the specific piece of property in question. "Unnecessary handicap [hardship]"
shall mean physical hardship relating to the property itself as distinguished
from a hardship relating to convenience, financial considerations or caprice,
and the hardship must not result from the applicant's or property owner's own
actions; and
(C) That by granting the variance, the spirit of the chapter will be observed, and
substantial justice will be done.
However, as is the case in most cities' states, economic hardship is not a basis to grant a
variance. However, Texas House Bill 1475 amended the Local Government Code to require
that Texas cities allow economic hardship as one of the justifications for granting a variance
in some limited circumstances, provided all other requirements for a variance to be granted
Minutes— April 25,2023
are adhered to. Specifically, the Board may also consider the following economic impacts:
(1) the financial cost of compliance is greater than 50 percent of the appraised
value of the structure as shown on the most recent appraisal roll certified to
the assessor for the municipality under Section 26.01, Tax Code;
(2) compliance would result in a loss to the lot on which the structure is located of
at least 25 percent of the area on which development may physically occur;
In addition, the following factors may also be considered:
(3) compliance would result in the structure not being in compliance with a
requirement of a municipal ordinance, building code, or other requirement;
(4) compliance would result in the unreasonable encroachment on an adjacent
property or easement; or
(5) the municipality considers the structure to be a nonconforming structure.
However, it again is important to mention that while these additional justifications are now
eligible for consideration, for a variance to be approved, all requirements outlined in the
ordinance must be proven by the applicant.
In order to comply with State statutes, the Planning staff is recommending amendments to
Section 28.02.005(3)(B).
At a Joint Public Hearing held on April 17, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended 6:0
to approve the request for amendments to the Zoning Ordinance concerning the Board of
Adjustment, Section 28.02.005(3)(B).
Approval of the ordinance.

Including himself, Mr. Ford staffs two (2) to three (3) employees to teach swimming lessons.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on April 17, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended 6:0
to approve the request for a Specific Use Permit to allow swimming lessons in the RS
(Residential Single-Family Dwelling) District located at 4890 Brace Street, with the following
condition:
1. Per Engineering, the driveway can accommodate six (6) cars and nine (9) cars can

Section 28.04.006(f)(7) states, "when a Specific Use Permit is required, the landscape
buffering and fencing required by this section may be modified or eliminated as a condition of
a specific use permit." Mr. Wilson requests a waiver to the perimeter landscaping
requirement along the north property line; however, he does intend to install an 8' wooden
fence to screen the parking lot from the residences to the north.
Per Engineering, the proposed parking layout is feasible; however, the southern driveway
may need to be shifted to the south approximately 15' to align with the drive aisle or the first
few spaces in front of the existing driveway may need to be eliminated and marked "no
parking."
At a Joint Public Hearing held on April 17, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended 6:0

6. Consider approving a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility in the GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District located at 2560 Interstate 10 East.
Fayyaz Ahmed requests approval for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility located
at 2560 Interstate 10 East. Mr. Ahmed intends to install thirty (30)gaming machines with two
(2) staffed individuals and operational hours of 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Sunday.
Security will be provided through and alarm system and cameras.
It should be noted that gaming facilities that have five or fewer machines tend to be
considered accessory in nature, when part of a primary use, and as such tend to result in
fewer negative impacts on surrounding land uses. However, larger game rooms with dozens
of machines take on the scale of a small casino and as a result, require careful consideration
as to their location and compatibility with surrounding land uses. Some of these
considerations include compatibility with other land uses, noise, and traffic as well as safety
considerations. As such, proximity to parks, schools and especially residential uses should
be carefully considered in the review of gaming facilities.
This property is in close proximity to city-owned property to the north, hotels to the west, a
church and city-owned park to the east, and two (2) high density apartments located off
Sweet Gum Lane. In regard to consideration of safety, 911 reports indicate from January 1,
2020, to March 28, 2023, there have been two-hundred nineteen (219) calls made in relation
to the suites within the Town Center Shops Plaza.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on April 17, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended 6:0
to deny the request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility in the GC-MD

7. Consider approving a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility in the GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District located at 3010 Washington Boulevard.
Khaja Hussain and Bichly Pham request approval for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming
facility located at 3010 Washington Boulevard, Suite B. They intend to install fifty(50)gaming
machines with one office manager present and operational hours of 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.,
Monday through Sunday. The office manager will also be the security guard and will have
customers sign in before they play on the gaming machines.
It should be noted that gaming facilities that have five or fewer machines tend to be
considered accessory in nature, when part of a primary use, and as such tend to result in
fewer negative impacts on surrounding land uses. However, larger game rooms with dozens
of machines take on the scale of a small casino and as a result, require careful consideration
as to their location and compatibility with surrounding land uses. Some of these
considerations include compatibility with other land uses, noise, and traffic as well as safety
considerations. As such, proximity to parks, schools and especially residential uses should
be carefully considered in the review of gaming facilities.
This property is in close proximity with two (2) existing churches and abuts residential single-
family zoned properties. Additionally,the shared parking lot has thirty-six(36) existing spaces
for the shopping plaza and the proposed gaming facility would require thirty-three (33) of
those spaces. Therefore, 92% of the parking lot may be occupied by customers for the
gaming facility, which may lead to conflict amongst tenants, per Engineering.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on April 17, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended 6:0
to deny the request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility in the GC-MD

COMMENTS
* Public Comments (Persons are limited to three minutes)
Janet Polar 5320 Phelps Rd. Beaumont TX
Stated that she's seen the negative commercials and has heard the negative comments,
received negative mailings in reference to this election, it's very disappointing to see how
people are willing to follow all of the negativity, they forget about the good that's been done
and the work that Mayor Mouton is doing presently, citizens have yet to see everything come
to fruition that the Mayor is working on, stated that the Mayor is a wonderful role model, not
only for all young people but especially for young girls and young ladies of color, Mayor
Mouton is the first black female to be Mayor, Ms. Polar stated that she was the first black
female to be a Lieutenant in her Fire Department so she knows exactly what the Mayor feels
like, the Mayor is the face of Beaumont, she represents the citizens in a positive manner
wherever she goes, she shows people that Beaumont has diversity and that things are
possible, yes she travels, if anybody knows anything about leadership part of their
responsibility is to travel, meet other leaders and to have discussions along with meetings
and to come back and make the city stronger, while it's a shame that other people take their
time to be negative and make disparaging comments about the Mayor, she needs to
remember when they go low you go high, also stated that since her history is twenty years of
service as a Fire Fighter, an EMT as well as a Hazardous Material Specialist, there is a
solution to the EMS problem in the City of Beaumont, their cities were very similar, they had a
similar problem, however, they came to a crossroads in the mid 90's, in 1994 they started
discussing taking over the EMS responsibilities from their contracted provider, they weren't
able to meet the needs of their city, after many debates, numerous meetings with the union
leaders and with the leadership of the fire department they came to a decision, they
incorporated many of the paramedics from the EMS provider, if the fire fighters were able to
meet the standards they were cross trained to fire fighter/paramedics, if they were not able to
meet the standards they remained as EMT paramedics, they were city employees and they
were on the state retirement system, the fire fighters that were able to be paramedics that
were within the ranks, and those that were paramedics prior to coming to the city that trained
as fire fighters were the ones that were allowed to remain in the fire and police retirement
system, stated that there is a solution but it won't be easy, it's going to be difficult, there will
be a lot of groaning and moaning but it can be done, over 16,000 EMS calls we answered
every year, they had six ALS engines, seven ALS ambulances housed in their fire
department, within the first year of the transition of the fire department being incorporated
they found that in the first year their response time was better, the complaint levels from the
citizens went down, they transported 76% of the calls that they went on to the facilities in
their city, all of their personnel had to be trained to a shock trauma level, did remind Council
that this was back in the 90's, after everything changed, everyone was trained to an
enhanced level which is an intermediary EMT, they are able to administer medications,
Minutes— April 25,2023
everything was done under the physicians licensure, every EMT that was able to provide
advance life support whether they were a paramedic or enhanced work under the licensure
of whatever physician the city agreed on, they met that need and they had to perform their
duties according to that physician, back in 1994 they took over, in 1996 everything was put
into effect, by the end of 1996 the reports that came back showed the cost effect nature of
being incorporated, they weren't paying a contractor to do a job that they were having
difficulty doing, they weren't having issues with people that were out of shape and not able to
perform the duties in the fire service, stated that there were certain people that were just not
cut out to be fire fighters, the citizens of Beaumont deserve the best service, also made
additional comments relating to this matter
Albert Harrison 1240 Ashley Beaumont TX
Stated that he spoke at Council on last week to complain and talk about 1163 Evalon, which
is property that he owns, the job isn't complete at this time, the entire community ditches
need to be dug out and dug out properly, the ditch that he complained about last week on his
property wasn't dug out properly and water is still remaining in the cross walk and in the pipe,
the water shouldn't be there, the water should flow somewhere, also the workers stopped
about halfway in digging out the ditch towards Forest Street going east, the rest hasn't been
done, on the north side it's cleaned out properly and looks good, most people don't
understand that the ditches need to be cleaned out and that it hasn't been done in over
twenty years
Kim Miller 2328 Poplar St. Beaumont TX
Commented on the Animal Shelter on Pine St., thanked them for finally taking care of a
situation, however, it took a little over a month for them to come and pickup a dog that was
abandoned, they asked her to fill out some paperwork at their office as well as surveillance
from her camera, she did that, the dog would turn over her trash, sleep on her front porch,
she couldn't go out her front door she had to go out the back door, her daughter would come
home from work at night and someone would have to get up and go outside to ward the dog
off so she could get in the house, one of the officers from Animal Control came out three
times in one day and finally at 11:45 p.m. they were able to get the dog, asked why did it take
a month or longer to take care of this situation, also stated that she's been living at her
residence for about forty five years, the properties around her have been torn down, knows
that people are sent out to cut the lawn but now it has become almost a forest and a jungle
around her home, no one cuts the trees, the trees are hanging on the fences and have
become a nuisance, wants to know what can be done regarding getting some of the trees
cut, the city sends people out to cut the grass and they cut around the trees, had the grass
been cut properly in the beginning it would never have been trees to grow there, had
comments regarding Charlton Pollard Park, she's having a graduation party for her daughter
who is graduating from college on May 12, 2023, she was told on yesterday that there's no
water supply, wants to have a crawfish boil and wants to be able to purge the crawfish, asked
what could be done about a water supply being put at Charlton Pollard Park
Vernon Durden 16436 Westbury Rd. Beaumont TX
Asked that the City Attorney share the emails with Council that he shared with her about a
piece of property that has been erroneously identified, at 6:10 p.m. today Chris Boone made
a statement that no ordinance is perfect, his property is being mischaracterized, he's
receiving letters on demolition, stated that when he bought the property it was a residence,
Minutes— April 25,2023
he's never used the property in any other way, the property was demolished as a residence
but the letter is stating that it was demolished as commercial, he will leave copies of the mail
that he's received and has been receiving for about ten years with the City Clerk, requested a
meeting with the City Council
LaTosha Batiste (homeless no address given) Beaumont TX
Stated that she's already sent Council an email regarding a group of guys in the area that
has been using drugs to rape women, she hasn't received a response from anyone, has
been investigating and thinks something needs to be done because it's been going on for a
long time, she's done all that she can, she has PTSD because they raped her and murdered
the child that she was carrying, she's not a cop nor an attorney and needs this to be
investigated, they will continue to do these acts, she's a victim and shouldn't have to do this
much work
James Eller 3587 E. Lucas Dr. Beaumont TX
Thanked Councilmembers Feldschau and Getz for the first and second to deny the increases
of salaries for Council, also thanked Councilmember Turner for stating the reasons why
Council needed to hold off on voting for the increase, it should go to the voters, commented
on the city having a lot of law suits, wanted to know what's the problem, it seems like there's
an increase in law suits, wanted to know if there's a public information area that he could go
to that would state the facts regarding these law suits, commented on red tags and the fact
that his own home that's been red tagged, there's large buildings downtown and one in
particular is the former Texas Workforce Solutions building, located at 304 S. Pearl St., this
building has had fire damage to the third floor and has been run through by vandals, it's not
the property owners fault, that building hasn't being red tagged, it's unsafe and not secure,
why hasn't it been red tagged, the building should be secured, that goes for home owners as
well as property owners that own big buildings, still want to push for body worn cameras
being worn by the Police Department, this needs to be pushed for the benefit of the citizens
Kenneth Earls 1265 Condon Beaumont TX
Stated that he's a retired fireman with the City of Arlington, fire fighters won't be happy with
what he's about to say, it's Council's job to spend the money for the citizens, those
individuals that don't like it, move on, those individuals that want to comply and accept what
the City Manager and the Fire Chief place before them so be it, spoke regarding the three
levels of EMT, Basic Advance which used to be the EMTI Program with paramedics, when
he was in the City of Arlington the City Council mandated in the eighty's that fire fighters
would become EMTI's, everything that a paramedic did the fire fighters had to do also, they
couldn't dispense but two drugs and that was the lower level, they were the first in this state
that went to the EMTI program, if the fire fighters didn't like it the Chief told them to find
another job in the city, if they couldn't find a job in the city they needed to move on, a lot of
the older individuals grumbled, but they got that EMTI because it carried a stipend that was
$200.00 more a month, wanted the Council to know that the fire and police departments are
under the purview of the City Manager and their bosses that promoted up, they have no say,
they follow the rules or leave this city, stated that the last time he attended the meeting it was
said that 195 fire fighters don't live in the city, that's his money that they are taking and
spending in other cities, it's your money that they are taking in other cities and spending,
would like to see in the next charter that future fire fighters have to live in the City of
Minutes— April 25,2023
Beaumont, there's nothing that can be done about the older ones, that's not negotiable, if
they can't live in the City of Beaumont they should find another job
Addie Allen 9695 Gross St. Beaumont TX
Stated that she's not a fire fighter but past professions have included health and safety, the
city has had tornadoes etc., and has come to the podium every time, she's appalled because
the city had a notice last week at 1:00 a.m., it wasn't different for anything else such as a
tornado versus a child being abducted, when is this going to get fixed, knows that the City
Manager said staff is working on a siren work shop, lives have been lost in quiet a few states,
to save lives is so important, would love for this Council not to be slow when looking at this,
the weather is different now, what are we going to do, a lot of tornadoes by statistics come
during the night when you're asleep, if we have to have more fire fighters to respond because
it's all connected then we need to get on board, we have elections now and hasn't heard
anybody talk about sirens, that's saving lives, we are paying taxes, how long does it take,
she's supplied names of suppliers so that's not an excuse, if staff is working on it how long
does it take them, do we have to have lives lost, all we have to do is get sirens, stated she
won't talk about planes because if there's high winds someone in aviation knows about it,
informed Councilmember Getz that she's praying for his wife
Sheryl Jackson 862 Porter St. Beaumont TX
Spoke to Council regarding the loss of a legend and icon in the community Coach Philip
Sweat, stated that he was with BISD for about fifty years, he was not only a teacher and
coach but a father to the fatherless, he was a small man in statue but huge in character, he
had a phenomenal impact with every student he came in contact with, asked that a street be
named in honor of Coach Phillip Sweat, the location that she's suggesting is on the side of
Charlton Pollard Elementary School which is Jackson Street, it's one block from Brooklyn to
Irving, that was the original location of Dunbar School back in the day, he will not be forgotten
and he will live on regardless, however, to honor him she would appreciate that Council
would honor Coach Phillip Sweat

BEAUMONT
TEXAS
TO: City Council
FROM: Kenneth R. Williams City Manager
PREPARED BY: Sharae N. Reed, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: May 2, 2023
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider an ordinance authorizing the acceptance of the
proposed settlement of Entergy's 2022 base rate case.
BACKGROUND
Entergy Texas, Inc. (ETI) and the Steering Committee of Cities(Committee)have reached a
final agreement regarding ETI's request for a base rate increase, including revenue requirement,
class allocation, and rate design.
ETI agreed to a revenue requirement increase of$54 million,which is approximately 58.9%
lower than their original requested revenue requirement increase of$131.4 million. ETI also
agreed to a smaller increase to residential fixed monthly customer charge. ETI initially proposed
$16.33,the parties settled on$14.00 as the monthly residential charge. The lower customer
charge reduces the risk of"rate shock" and is particularly beneficial for the lower-usage
customers.
FUNDING SOURCE
The reasonable expenses associated with rate cases are reimbursable by the company.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of ordinance.
