City Manager Townsend explained that this has been discussed for some time and they plan a program to phase the housing down. He stated that FEMA works with the State ordinarily but the State of Texas has never really designated an organization to deal with disasters. He admitted that an alternate answer to the City's taking over this function would be to approach State trfficials to see if this is their problem to phase dawn the housing, but that he was of the opinion that this would not be realistic and the City could handle it more practically. Mayor Jones inquired if this would require any expenditure of City funds and City Manager Townsend assured the Cormcil that it wout.r not.end in fact. the City plans to charge some of the regular staff time to FEM for this operation.

Dr. Best continued by stating that he felt that the contract should be easy to ante t. He'pointed out that if some of the c nies ide to participate in the industrial district contract, the Council will be placed in the Ition sf providing a special dispensation for CCPC. Mayor Jones nted that if the correct figures are being used, CCPC would not pay as catch as the City predicted until the third or fourth year of the contract. He stated that he felt that Mr. Zarsky's intent originally was to provide some t for nem industries to locate facilities here hut that he was inclined to agree with Dr. Best on this matter in that the special treatment that would be received by CCPC might jeopardize the accep of the contract by other industries. r Jones Rrii4WRAntamcfmwomfaiwwwwitaggpiggvok, lar focr-,' t1 12. 14 conte. = his remarks by s ting that the Council delete that section and apply the date of January 3. 1931 to set the fees as the plants exist et that time.

He indica that he would continue to support the nt to the motion. Coil --•:r Zarsky reiterated that there was no intent on his part to limit this to any particular a ny. because he just wanted to provide an incentive for new nies to locate here 1n Corpus Christi. Mayor expressed the opinion that new "•t, .nies w111 be protected under theg c1 e. but stated that he understood Mr. Zarsky's concern. 11 test pointed out that the Council has not called an annexation election; they are just offering industry an industrial district contract; and indus- tries do not have to accept it if prefer to take the chance that they might be by 4 mate of the citizens of Corpus Christi. Council er Turner pointed out that the key word is what is equitable and fair and all .,, •antes should be treated equally. She stated that she does not support this particular = "ndment. r Jones sug• -;ted that a motion might be in order to amend the contract to reflect the Council's views. City Manager Townsend reminded the Council that the change has already been included in this form of the contract. Motion by Best that the phrase in Section III (b) of the contract as follows be deleted from the contract: "except as to businesses in operation less than seven a (Y) years in Corpus Christi as of January 1. 1981, the p + nt shall be five percent (5%) for each year or part thereof in use"; seconded by Turner. Council r Diaz noted that in the Federal Internal Revenue Service, invest- ment credit Is allowed, and there are a n r of areas where the Federal Revenue Service would encourage •:-lopment by allowing double declining depreciation schedules. Mr. Diaz pointed out that the amendment as passed last week does this same type of thing for the plants in this City in that it allows CCPC the opportunity to recoup their inves• rt a little quicker than they would be able to do if they had to pay the s ,. as plants that have f _; in operation for a number of years.

Council Muer Dunphy mentioned the words. "fair and equitable" and painted out that any company that came into this Cid and spent as much money as CCPC has should be treated differently since they are not really in operation yet. He indicated his concurrence with the m end:ent suggested by Mr. Zarsky and stated that he is in favor of retaining the asendaent to the contract. Council Member Turner agein suggested that the statement refer to "improvements in use" rather than 'businesses". Council Member Zarsky stated that he was of the opinion that it would be iapos- sible to obtain that information for all coat...+ies. Mayor Zones called for the vote on the motion to delete the phrase that would provide relief for businesses that have been in operation less than seven years. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that the staff has prepared a suggested Motion to Amend that will properly clarify the intention of the motion made last week. He stated that it was the staff's understanding that the only thing involved in the motion last week was industry that was constructed on raw land, and the only one involved would be CCPC. Council Mdeber Diaz stated, however. that this motion would apply to any company that could prove that they have been in operation for less than seven years. City Manager Townsend stated that there is a need to clarify this, and if the Council is referring to a coepany that hes been in operation for less than seven years. there may be more than one company involved. He gave es examples. Saber Refinery and American Che and Chemical, and indicated that other companies may need to be included. Mr. Townsend explained that the staff interpreted the notion last week that if a plant was in operation seven years ago, regardless of the name under which they were operating. they would not be considered a new company and would not qualify for this exception. Council Member Diaz stated that their intent was not to include companies in that category if juste change in name was involved. P' Regular Council Meeting Mmieber 12. IMO Page 16 City Manager Towesend informed the council that the mca:;on to anerd. as prepared by the Legal Department, tits the amendment dada to just nett co-1p4nies in operation less than seven years. Council Member Zarsky suggested that the vote on the motion to delete this change from the contract should be delayed until the audience has addressed the Council. Motion by Turner that the vote on the motion to delete the exemption clause free the contract be tabled until after members of the ,14dience have spoken on this matter; seconded by Diaz; and passed unanieously. City Manager Townsend again referred to the motion to amend and suggested that it might be appropriate for the Council to consider it for clarification purposes. He briefly described the motion to amend and referred in particular to the reference in the wording to the effect that the fees will be based an the lifetime basis as presently employed by the Corpus Christi Independent School District and the Tuloso Midway Independent School District and stated that the staff concurred with that wording because they were under the impression that this was the method of evaluation that was currently in effect; however. the appraisal consultants have informed the staff that this method has not been employed for several years, indicating that he was in error in so designating it in the contract. Mr. Townsend explained that the valuation method presently being used is reproduction costs less obsolescence less depreciation as was pointed out to the staff by T. Y. Pickett, appraisal firm, and they suggested that it would be inappropriate to use the lifetime basis as employed by those school districts as the basis for valuation in the contract. City Manager Townsend noted that the staff has suggested a change in wording in the contract so specify "utilizing the eethod of appraising industrial property which is employed by the applicable school district taxing jurisdiction during the term of this agreement". He pointed out that this also means that whatever methods the new appraisal district uses would be the appropriate method of appraisal. since the lifetime depreciation value was not the method employed. Mr. Townsend stated that the other changes in the amendment are just technical changes. Council !ember Turner suggested an additional change in Paragraph (0) of Section III of the contract which refers to Land that is contiguous to said land owned by cepany inside the City limits. Hrs. Turner suggested that this wording be changed to "said land and all other lends owned by the company inside the City limits and contiguous to or forming an integral part of the company's operation on said land." Minutes legaler Comc1T Meeting narrater 12. 198:1 Page 17 Council Renter Dunphy suggested r,at this does need some work for clarifi- cation of the Council's intent. Council Member larsky spowx to this issue and stated that as he understands it, it is only that land that is not on that property contiguous to the property which mry be inside the City limits. i.d if the industrial district was outside the City limits in the extraterritorial jurisdiction and had another portion of land that was inside the City. in his opinion. it was never the Council's intent to include that property that was inside the City limits unless it was contiguous to the land outside the City Iimrits. Mayor Jones noted that on Page 2 of the ordinance. reference is made to "addi- tional non-cantiguogs tracts owned by the industry and situated within the extraterri- torial jurisdiction of the City may be included within the industrial d•strfct agreement covering the parent tract if the use of each additional tract relates directly to the primary use of the parent tract." Mayor Jones inquired if that phrase would not take care of the problem of the additional land a company owns inside the City limits. City Manager Townsend replied that that particular phrase refers to the makeup of the district outside the City limits and the part Mrs. Turner referred to is only the tax credit of a district that is located partly inside the City limits and partly outside the City Heats that is making a full tax payment for the property inside and will be making a payment in lieu of taxes on the property that is outside the City limits. He noted that the question would be whether or not other properties owned by the company that are used in the primary operation of that company should constitute a part of the deduction from the in lieu payments. Mr. Townsend stated that he was preparing a report on the amount involved in such situations but it is not completed. Council Member Turner again suggested that the wording in the contract in (d) of Paragraph (d) of Section 1I1 should be changed to read as follows: "above. said land and all other lands contiguous to said land er forming an integral part of the manures primary operation." City Manager Townsend stated that that change really needed to be refined because he did not think that the Council wanted Central Power and Light Company's operation included in that category, nor possibly pipelines inside the City limits to be Included. Mayor Jones agreed that they did not, and Council Member Turner suggested that the Legal Department refine that change. Minutes Begslar Council +luting Bamber l2, 1410 Page la Council Member Turner then moved that the following wording for (e) of Section II1 of the contract. as follows: *At the request of Company, an alternative to the method of calculation set forth in paragraphs (e) through (d) above, the Cnnpany may make a payment which is determined by considering using the method of calculation set forth in Paragraphs (e) through (d) above. said land and all other lands owned by CarCcmpeny inside the City limits and contiguous to and fanning an integral part of Csmpany's operations...". Council Member Zarsky seconded the motion. Council Member Best stented that this would take care of approximately 200 acres that Right be annexed. Council Member Dunphy disagreed that this would necessarily follow. stating that he had discussed this with other cities and they have industrial districts set aside in a particular area. Mr. °tachy noted that the Council has been informed that this City cannot do that but he has requested information from other cities on this matter. Mayor Jones suggested that the ordinance not be held up until this information 1s available and pointed out that this. as any other ardliance, could be amended in the future. Council Member tiumphy pointed out that all industries have indicated that they want space for expansion and they do not want the Council to approve en agreement that does not designate a particular district. City Manager Townsend explained that the staff is attempting to prepare an ordinance now that would address this question and stating that this particular area within the extraterritorial jurisdiction be set aside for industrial growth and that the Planning Caaraission. in processing plats In that particular area, should present those plats for the Council's consideration. He further pointed out that the City administration is prohibited from extending or making any utility connections in those areas without bringing the matter before the City Council, which would prevent property owners from using the land while holding it for future industrial development. Council ilaeber Lumpily indicated that he still felt that the ordinance under consideration should designate geographical industrial districts, and Council Member Turner agreed that they should have more information an this subject. Minutes Regular Council Meeting ikee bar 12. 19113 Page 19 Council Member Best stated that this would be satisfactory if the City had a prescribed ewe in which area the development could be controlled by the Council. City Manager Townsend emehasized the fact that the City officials from other cities Milo are providing information for the Council are not aware of what this Council can da. and that is the reason he has suggested a separate ordinance that would outline responsibilities for the staff and the Planning Omission. Council lieaber Turner referred to the favored nations clause included in the contract, which she indicated eight provide an advantage for one coo pony over another and proposed the fallowing Change to Section XII: "If City enters into an agreement with any other landowner within the extraterritorial jursidiction of the City or enters into a renewal of any existing industrial district agreements having the same or approximately the same expiration date, which contains teras and provisions more favorable to such landowner than those in the agreement. companyr and its assigns shall have the right to amend those teras that are more favorable in the agreement." Mrs. Turner explained that she felt that such an amendment would eliminate the possibility of favoring one company aver another. Council Weber Zersky stated that he was of the opinion that the City should give options to companies but he did not think it was unfair to allow companies to terminate the agreements if they decide that any nee contract is to their disadvantage because they can then enter into another contract. He indicated that the amandmant suggested by Council ieeber Turner would require a change in their contracts. He also pointed out that in some instances, it might be to the City's advantage to terminate contracts and suggested that this clause be allowed to remain as it Is. Mayor Jones noted that industries create certain additional jobs and that the City should be willing to enter into an industrial district agreement in order to create additional jobs for the residents of the City. Council Member Diaz expressed the opinion that no Council would give arty industry a 30: rate when all other industries are paying 50Z. Mayor Jones then invited members the audience to address the Council in regard to the ordinances. hinutas Tar tHearing r 12 1950 I. Mike Kt rial district a clause first and i tries.

Kendrick about the passibility of eliminating Section XII which pertains to the favored nation clause. Mr. Kendrick replied that essentially. that is what has been done because ft is not easel favored nations clause. Council r Zarsky inquired of Mr. Kendrick if he was aware of arty situation in which the 1 trial district contracts had favored nations clauses for classes of try. Mr. rick ag that this was a possibility, but if this is done, there would be a problem in that this would require a great deal more time to identify classes of industry. He reitera that the City should not treat existing industries unfairly just because a new mf plans to locate here that will provide a large r of jobs, end industries will certainly want to terminate their contracts if this is done. me. Kendrick then referred to raphicat locations and referred to the letter from Mr. Sager of So tern Refinery suggesting that industrial districts should be created so that nies may be included that are not defined in the proposed ordinance. Ir. rick stated that he felt that it is essential that geographical districts be established. Mr. Kendrick addressed the tIOJi of tions for businesses that have been in 0,— tion for less than seven years and the subsequent implication that this would apply only to CCPC. He stated that this is not true use there are several other plants that are in this ca ry, such as Gulf States Refinery. Mr. Kendrick referred 0 tattle Mee 12. 1400 ting Lien as - ted by Mrs. Turner in Section II1 b) "except as to businesses in operation less than seven years....' and stated that this phrase refers to a business and a later reference is made to new improvements. He then alleged that a new business y fo and -:ase a business that has been in existence for many years and sed the opinion that the - ::tion should be for improvements, not businesses. Ha referred to the fact that can Chrome and C =tca1 purchased a piant that was in existewe for time and inquired as to wily it would not be ex—.t. City _,,+ger Townsend explained that the Council was referring to a new facility built on raw land for the Mr. Kendrick s date that bizsiresses have tion -- not the purchase of an existing plant. that the date of 1981 should be changed to 1974 as the inexistence, implying that this would take care of identifying the businesses to llfy for ..., tons. Mr. Kendrick conti by referring to the discussion of lifetime method of calculations and su - ted that this be cha to 27t rather than using the lifetime sethod of calculations, which would eventually be 55% of market value. ,Council ;.r 2arsky pointed out that the Council intended to base the figure on the actual appraisal using the s . vaulat-ons that the school districts used. r Jones also explained that the Council intended to use 50% of the value that is listed on the books, and if these figures are correct. it is immaterial how it was arrived at. He expressed the opinion that this would be the best method of establishing the valuations on which to base the 505 in lieu of taxes. Mr..,_ ..,,,?rk referred to the first chart of valuations that was supplied them and proposed that this f1 should be multiplied by 55%, multiplied by 505, and to eliminate any possible probl::, the calculations should be based on 27h%, which should work out to about the seem figure. City Manager Townsend stagy + that the fi, .: were those supplied by the school districts. and the Council plans to assess 50% of that figure. Mr. rick stated that the fi provided are not reliable and do not reflect the full values of the plants. but if the City had the full values and then multiplied as he thought had been done by 55%. then by another 50%, this would actually be 2711i of emrket value on all of those iuprov=,.;. ts. He expressed the opinion that if the City not do this. ■I1 of the incentive for the industries to sign the contracts will be eliminated. /Mattes Regular Coved' Meting November 12. 1911 Page 22 City Manager Townsend explained that whether the land should he assessed at 100% or 50% was never addressed after toe Council amended the contract to specify the flat 50% rate rather than the sliding scale. He emphatically denied that there had ever been any discussion of 55% and stated that they worked with 100: values as shown on the school districts' tax rolls. Council !ember Zarsky stated that he felt that it is difficult to obtain the full valuation of the industries and the City will be forced to work with the figures thet are available and also noted that they will have to determine the valuations In accordance with the Peveto 6111 when it becomes effective. Mr. Kendrick suggested deleting the reference in the ordinance to Corpus Christi Independent School District or Tuloso-Midway Independent School District. Addressing the Council next an this same ordinance was Mr. Archie N. Walker, 343 Peerman, representing the Goldston Company. Mr. Wacker agreed with the remarks wade by Hr. Kendrick and informed the Council that all of the industries would like to have geographical districts included in the contract. regardless of whether the land contains related industries or is used for farming. He also objected to the minimum linitation of $1.000.000 in value because this would exlude a number of businesses that should be censidarsd for industrial districts. He expressed the opinion that industrial districts should be established on an area wide basis rather than value basis. Mr. Walker stated that he did not object to City Manager Townsend's suggestion that geographical designations for industry be established by means of a separate ordinance. Council Member Best suggested that the Council invite a representative of the T. Y. Pickett firs to meet with then to explain the method of calculation employed by the school districts. Mayor Jones stated that he did not feel that this was necessary at this point because industries are supposed to report their valuations to the taxing authority. He expressed the opinion that industries are attempting to sabotage the industrial district agreements. Council Member Diaz noted that the City has no way of determining what the true value is of industries and agreed with Dr. Best that since they are dependent upon the valuations set by the school districts and T. Y. Pickett, the Council should ask a representative of that company+ to appear before the Council to explain their method of calculation. Mr. Diaz then suggested that the second reading of the ordinance be �wmlr Regular Council /letting pour! 12. BEd Page 23 tabled for one weak until the Council has a report from this company. City Manager Toraserd srnwrize the situation in regard to industrial districts by noting that there is a question of wh`ther the minimum valuation is too high or too lar there is the question as to whether or not geographical districts should be included; he does rot feel that the City has the authority to prohibit certain uses within a designated geographical area; and this could be addressed by an additional ordinance as he described earlier. Notion by Best that at/ Manager Townsend have an ordinance prepared that desig- nates geographical industrial district areas; seconded by Bosky. City Maaager Townsend stated that he assumed that the Council would like to have geograpi cal locations designated in this separate ordinance similar to the districts that rare included as a part of this ordinance in earlier drafts. Meyer Jones called for the vote on this motion and it passed unanimously. Mrs. Pauline Clarke. speaking an behalf of the league of Woman Voters. informed the Council that they feel that all areas that are developed and receiving City services should be annexed. and the industrial districts should be limited to the Port area. She pointed out that if these geographical industrial districts are designated for industry only. the growth will be outside the City limits. Mrs. Clarke reiterated that all areas should be annexed except the Port area. Council Hasher Iarsky pointed out that there are possibly a number of industries that mtyht wish to locate satellite facilities here in Corpus Christi and he felt that the City should provide sore incentive for than to do so. Mrs. Clarke reminded the Council that they represent the people of Corpus Christi, yet they seem to be amending the industrial district agreements to favor industry, which is unfair to taxpayers in the City. She expressed the opinion that the industries will retain their facilities hero as long as they make a profit and noted that industry does have a responsibility to the City and its citizens. The next speaker on this subject was Fir. Jingly Welder. attorney with the firm of Melberg. Dryer. Redford and Wail. who stated that he was not speaking on behalf of any particular industry. but informed the Council that there are industries other than CCPC that would qualify for the less than seven-year in operation exemption. He stated that he fait that the figures which should be applied are the cost of the trrproyenents, divided by two and that figure multiplied by the rates set. MimeAs Regular Cawacil !lxting kovvaber 12. 19E0 Page 24 Council !ember Best summarized the decisions to be T:,.. by the Council by referring to the favored nation; clause, whether or not the City should allow businesses in operation less than seven years to pay in lieu of taxes at the 5. per year rate, and how the percentages will be ascertained. Nr. Kendrick spoke again and urged that the correct figures of values of indus- tries be obtained. Mr. Frank Higgins. Chairman of the Tax Appraisal District, expressed the opinion that the wording in regard to setting valuations should refer to the Tax Appraisal District as the entity to provide the correct figures and suggested that any reference to either of the school districts in the ordinance should be eliminated. Mr. Louis Caamos, speaking as a private citizen, expressed the opinion that the City is underestimating its attractiveness to industry, indicating that this City has enough to entice industry to this area without the omission of taxes. Mayor Jones called for the vote on Council Member Best's motion to delete the phrase in Section 111 (b) that would exempt businesses in operation for less than seven years, and it failed to pass by the following vote: Jones, Best, and Turner voting "Aye"; Diaz. Buephy and Zarsky voting "Nay"; and Sample, abstaining. Mayor Jones declared that the motion failed to pass becausefour affirmative votes were not cast. Nation by Turner that also in Section III (b), a period be placed in the paragraph at the end of *lifetimre basis." Mayor Jones declared the motion died for lack of a second:. lotion by Turner that Paragraph (e) of Section III be amended to "said land and ail other lands contiguous to said land or forming an integral part of Company's priemny operation located on said lend" ...., and add et the end of Paragraph (e), the words, "whichever Is greater"; seconded by Best; end passed unanimously. Council Nether Turner then made the following motion in regard to the favored nations phrase in Section XII: that the agreement be amended to include the statement that the City agrees to the save amendment to employ the more favorable terms of such agreement. Council Member Zarsky stated that he would second that motion if it could be applied to various classifications of businesses. but tars. Turner disagreed with that suggestion. 1980 that Council .rr Turner's motion had died for lack of 1 r Best moved to delete Section XI1 as listed on Page 8 and then withdrew this motion.
