Minutes - January 23, 2004 The core equipment for the downtown network currently operates at a speed of one gigabit per second (1 Gb). However, due to escalating network and internet usage, coupled with the expanding external locations connecting to the downtown data centers, there is a compelling need to elevate the core network speed to ten gigabits per second (10 Gb). Upgrading the downtown core network to 10 Gb will provide the city the following benefits: 1.Increased Bandwidth: Upgrading to 10 Gb ensures that the network can handle the increased traffic, preventing congestion and maintaining optimal performance for all connected devices. 2.Futureproofing: As technology continues to advance, having a robust network infrastructure in place ensures that the downtown area remains competitive and adaptable to future technological innovations.2. 3.Support for High-Performance Applications: This is necessary for critical applications that the city uses across multiple locations. The dispatching and public safety software are good examples of high-performance applications. 4.Support for Smart City Initiatives: Many cities are embracing smart city initiatives that leverage data and technology to enhance urban living. A 10 Gb network lays the foundation for implementing and supporting these initiatives. Pricing was obtained through the State of Texas Department of Information (DIR).

Pricing was obtained from Preferred Facilities Group - USA utilizing Buy Board Texas Contract # 581-19. The Buy Board Texas Contract provides municipalities with the means to purchase construction services at competitive prices contracted under the procurement statues of the State of Texas. The proposed scope of work shall consist of removing the existing 60kw generator and installing a new 60kw generator and associated 400-amp automatic transfer switch.

Funds are available in the Capital Reserve fund. The need for the replacement of the existing generator is due to the age of the equipment and the number of service calls that the unit has required in the last 2-3 years. On multiple occasions the unit has failed to start during an outage. This project is necessary to ensure that the Fire Station maintains electrical power during outages, has a reliable standby power source, continues to provide the required services from the station, and reduce the number of repair calls.

The purpose of the Zone is to facilitate such development or redevelopment by financing the costs of public works, public improvements, programs, economic development grants, and other projects benefiting the Zone, plus other costs incidental to those expenditures, all of which costs are authorized by the Act. 2.2Eligibility Requirements An area is eligible under the Act to be designated as a tax increment reinvestment zone if the area: 1)substantially arrests or impairs the sound growth of the municipality designating the Zone, retard the provision of housing accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability and is a menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition; or 2)is predominantly open or undeveloped and, because of obsolete platting, deterioration of structures or site improvements, or other factors, substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the City; or 3)is in a federally assisted new community located in the City or in an area immediately adjacent to a federally assisted new community; or 4)is in an area described in a petition requesting that the area be designated as a reinvestment zone, if the petition is submitted to the governing body of the City by the owners of property constituting at least fifty percent (50%) of the appraised value of the property in the area according to the most recent certified appraisal roll for the county in which the area is located. The City cannot, however, designate a zone if more than thirty percent (30%) of the property in the proposed zone, excluding property that is publicly owned, is used for residential purposes, or if the total appraised value of taxable real property in the proposed zone and in existing reinvestment zones exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the total appraised value of taxable real property in the City and in industrial districts created by the City. REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE, CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS 5 FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN 2.3Proposed Zone The Property within the proposed Zone is currently located within the corporate limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City. The Property is primarily open, undeveloped, or underdeveloped, and substantially impairs and arrests the sound growth of the City. Due to its size, location, and physical characteristics development would not occur solely through private investment in the foreseeable future. The Property lacks public infrastructure and requires economic incentive to attract development for the purpose of providing long-term economic benefits including, but not limited to, increased real property tax base for all taxing units in the Zone. If the Public Improvements are financed as contemplated by this Final Plan, the City envisions that the Property will be developed to take full advantage of the opportunity to bring to the City, a quality development. 2.4Preliminary Plan and Hearing Before the City Council adopted the Creation Ordinance, the City Council prepared a Preliminary Plan in accordance with the Act and held a public hearing on the creation of the Zone and its benefits to the City and to the Property, at which public hearing interested persons were given the opportunity to speak for and against the creation of the Zone, the boundaries of the Zone and the concept of tax increment financing, and at which hearing the owners of the Property were given a reasonable opportunity to protest the inclusion of their Property in the Zone. The requirement of the Act for a preliminary reinvestment zone financing plan was satisfied by the Preliminary Plan, the purpose of which was to describe, in general terms, the Public Improvements that will be undertaken and financed by the Zone. A description of how such Public Improvements and projects will be undertaken and financed shall be determined by this Final Plan, which requires approval by the Board and City Council. 2.5Creation of the Zone Upon the closing of the above referenced public hearing, the City Council considered the Creation Ordinance and the following findings: 1)that development or redevelopment of the Property would not occur solely through private investment in the reasonably foreseeable future, and 2)that the Zone is feasible, and 3)that improvements in the Zone will significantly enhance the value of all the taxable real property in the Zone and will be of general benefit to the City, and 4)that the Zone meets the eligibility requirements of the Act. Among other provisions required by the Act, the Creation Ordinance shall appoint the Board. REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE, CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS 6 FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN 2.6Board Recommendations After the creation of the Zone, the Board reviewed this Final Plan and recommends its approval to the City Council pursuant to which the City shall contribute the City TIRZ Increment into the TIRZ No. 1 Fund to pay a portion of the Project Costs benefiting the Zone, in accordance with this Final Plan. SECTION 3: DESCRIPTION AND MAPS 3.1Existing Uses and Conditions The Property is currently zoned Light Industrial, Residential Multiple-Family Dwelling – Highest Density District, General Commercial Multiple-Family Dwelling District, General Commercial Multiple-Family Dwelling-2 District, Commercial-Manufacturing District, Port Development District, Residential Conversation and Revitalization District, Commercial Business District, Residential Single-Family Dwelling District, and Neighborhood Commercial District. The Property is primarily undeveloped or underdeveloped, and there is limited and inadequate public infrastructure to support development. Development requires extensive public infrastructure that: (1) the City could not provide, and (2) would not be provided solely through private investment in the foreseeable future. 3.2Proposed Uses The proposed uses of the Property in the City include residential, commercial, and industrial, as shown on Exhibit F. 3.3Parcel Identification The parcels identified on Exhibit H provide sufficient detail to identify with ordinary and reasonable certainty the territory included in the Zone. SECTION 4: PROPOSED CHANGES TO ORDINANCES, PLANS, CODES, RULES, AND REGULATIONS The Property is wholly located in the corporate limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City and is subject to the City’s zoning regulation, or shall be upon annexation. The City has exclusive jurisdiction over the subdivision and platting of the property within the City limits as well as the design, construction, installation, and inspection of water, sewer, drainage, roadway, and other public infrastructure. No proposed changes to zoning ordinances, comprehensive plan, building codes, subdivision rules, or other municipal ordinances will impact existing residents within the Zone. REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE, CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS 7 FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN SECTION 5: RELOCATION OF DISPLACED PERSONS No persons shall be displaced and in need of relocation due to the creation of the Zone or due to the implementation of this Final Plan. SECTION 6: ESTIMATED NON-PROJECT COSTS Non-Project Costs are costs that will be spent to develop in the Zone but will not be financed by the Zone, and will be financed by other funds. The list of Non-Project Costs is shown on Exhibit B, and are estimated to be approximately $1,177,949,000. SECTION 7: PROPOSED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS 7.1Categories of Public Improvements All Public Improvements shall be designed and constructed in accordance with all applicable City standards and shall otherwise be inspected, approved, and accepted by the City. At the City's option, the Public Improvements may be expanded to include any other category of improvements authorized by the Act, including Texas Local Government Code Chapter 380. 7.2Location of Public Improvements The estimated locations of the proposed Public Improvements are depicted on Exhibit G. These locations may be revised, with the approval of the City, from time to time without amending this Final Plan. SECTION 8: ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS 8.1Project Costs The total Project Costs for projects in the Zone, which includes the cost of the Public Improvements and the Administrative Costs, are estimated to be approximately $180,256,681, as shown on Exhibit C. 8.2Estimated Costs of Public Improvements The estimated Public Improvements Costs within the Zone are approximately $179,851,000, as shown on Exhibit C. REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE, CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS 8 FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN 8.3Estimated Administrative Costs The Administrative Costs are estimated to be $10,000 annually and escalating at two percent (2%) thereafter, and shall be paid each year from the TIRZ No. 1 Fund before the costs of Public Improvements are paid. 8.4Estimated Timeline of Incurred Costs The Administrative Costs will be incurred annually beginning at the time the Zone is created and through the duration of the Zone. It is estimated the costs of the Public Improvements will be incurred between calendar years 2024 and 2036, as shown on Exhibit D. SECTION 9: FEASIBILITY STUDY The Feasibility Study, as shown on Exhibit E-1 and Exhibit E-2, focuses on only direct financial benefits (i.e. ad valorem tax revenues from the development of Public Improvements in the Zone). Based on the Feasibility Study, during the term of the Zone, new development (which would not have occurred but for the Zone) will generate approximately $234,367,088 in total new real property tax revenue for the participation taxing entities. The total contribution from all participating entities is estimated to be $140,620,253. The remaining new real property tax revenue over that period, estimated at $93,746,835, shall be retained by the participating entities. The Feasibility Study shows the cumulative City TIRZ Increment is estimated to be $77,726,908, which will be available to pay a portion of the Project Costs, until the term expires or is otherwise terminated. The remainder of the new City real property tax revenue generated within the Zone and retained by the City is estimated to be $51,817,939 over the remaining term. The Feasibility Study shows the cumulative County TIRZ Increment is estimated to be $40,945,817, which will be available to pay a portion of the Project Costs, until the term expires or is otherwise terminated. The remainder of the new County real property tax revenue generated within the Zone and retained by the County is estimated to be $27,297,211 over the remaining term. The Feasibility Study shows the cumulative Drainage District TIRZ Increment is estimated to be $21,947,528, which will be available to pay a portion of the Project Costs, until the term expires or is otherwise terminated. The remainder of the new Drainage District real property tax revenue generated within the Zone and retained by the Drainage District is estimated to be $14,631,685 over the remaining term. One hundred percent (100%) of all taxing revenues generated for other taxing entities by the new development within the Zone will be retained by the respective taxing entities, unless the REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE, CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS 9 FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN taxing entity participates in the Zone. Based on the foregoing, the feasibility of the Zone has been demonstrated. SECTION 10: ESTIMATED BONDED INDEBTEDNESS No tax increment reinvestment zone bonds or public indebtedness by the City secured by the tax increments pursuant to the Act, is contemplated. SECTION 11: APPRAISED VALUE 11.1Tax Increment Base The Tax Increment Base of the Zone at the time of creation is estimated to be $1,961,248,092, and shall be confirmed by the Appraisal District. Each year, the Appraisal District shall confirm the current Captured Appraised Value. 11.2Estimated Captured Appraised Value It is estimated that upon expiration of the term of the Zone, the total Captured Appraised Value of taxable real property in the Zone will be approximately $3,319,048,092, as shown on Exhibit E-1. The actual Captured Appraised Value, as certified by the Appraisal District, for each year, will be used to calculate the annual City TIRZ Increment, and if applicable, the County TIRZ Increment, and the Drainage District TIRZ Increment. SECTION 12: METHOD OF FINANCING This Final Plan shall obligate the City to deposit the City TIRZ Increment into the TIRZ No. 1 Fund beginning in 2024. For example, in FY 2023, the City’s ad valorem tax rate was $0.681485 per $100 of taxable value, therefore the City would contribute $0.408891 per $100 of the Captured Appraised Value in the Zone levied and collected, to the TIRZ No. 1 Fund. If applicable, the County Participation Agreement shall obligate the County to deposit the County TIRZ Increment into the TIRZ No. 1 Fund beginning in 2024. For example, in FY 2023, the County’s ad valorem tax rate was $0.359000 per $100 of taxable value, therefore the County would contribute $0.215400 per $100 of the Captured Appraised Value in the Zone levied and collected, to the TIRZ No. 1 Fund. If applicable, the Drainage District Participation Agreement shall obligate the Drainage District to deposit the Drainage District TIRZ Increment into the TIRZ No. 1 Fund beginning in 2024. For example, in FY 2023, the Drainage District ad valorem tax rate was $0.192429 per $100 of taxable REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE, CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS 10 FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN value, therefore the Drainage District would contribute $0.1154574 per $100 of the Captured Appraised Value in the Zone levied and collected, to the TIRZ No. 1 Fund. All payments of Project Costs shall be made solely from the TIRZ No. 1 Fund and from no other funds of the City, the County, or the Drainage District, unless otherwise approved by their respective governing bodies. The TIRZ No. 1 Fund shall only be used to pay the Project Costs. The City may amend this Final Plan including but not limited to what is considered a Project Cost. SECTION 13: DURATION OF THE ZONE, TERMINATION 13.1Duration The stated term of the Zone commenced upon the execution of the Creation Ordinance and shall continue until December 31, 2053, with the last increment being deposited by January 31, 2054, unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the Creation Ordinance, and Section 13.2 below. 13.2Termination The Zone shall terminate on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2053, or (ii) at such time that the Project Costs have been paid in full. If upon expiration of the stated term of the Zone, the obligations of the Zone have not been fully funded by the TIRZ No. 1 Fund, the City, the County, and the Drainage District shall have no obligation to pay the shortfall and the term shall not be extended. Nothing in this section is intended to prevent the City from extending the term of the Zone in accordance with the Act. SECTION 14: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The City Council and the Board have determined it to be necessary and convenient to the accomplishment of the objectives of the Zone to establish and provide for the administration of the Economic Development Program that may be used to incentivize development. The Economic Development Program established in this Section is authorized by the Economic Development Provision. The Economic Development Program will further the public purpose of developing and diversifying the economy of the Zone. All grants that are part of the Economic Development Program serve the public purpose of attracting new business and commercial activity to the Zone for the purpose of providing long-term economic benefits including, but not limited to, increases in the real property tax base for all taxing units within the Zone, and increased job opportunities for residents of the City, County, and the region.
