City Manager Townsend explainthat this was a line item from this year's C ity Develo t Program and the program will be a and his staff. City Manager Towns refe inistered by Mr. Tom Utter to item "ri" and, info the Council that this also was included in the nity Dave1o.t Block Grant Program. He stated that proposals have been received from Bethune Day nursery School, Incorporated; HIALCO has not been able to present a proposal; an inquiry has been received from Mr. ArredOndo speaking an behalf of SER Learning Center which is now located in the same building where the Coastal Bend Council of Governments was. He explained that their proposal is for operating funds rather than capital costs and is not in ..,liance with the item in the C..nity Develo nt Block Grant. City Manager Townsend suggested that the Council might wish to take proposals on this item so that there will be no dissatisfaction. He indicated that it might be well for the Council to decide that any plans for the nursery must be for the provision of a capital improvnt facility and not for operating capital. He concluded his remarks by pointing out that only the proposal from Bethune is actually in compliance with the intent of the Council at the time the Community Develo nt Block Grart Pre2ram was approved. he suggested the date of Decanter 17 for the receipt of the proposal after advertising. Mayor Jones stated that he did not think that operating funds should be a part af this program and Council ,,-er Turner agreed. Mr. Ernest Briones, Director of Planning and Urban Development,expIained to the Council that discussion was held about the possibility of the City purchasing the facility that was planned for use by HIALCO with HIALCO using it after the existing facility had been rehabilita . He nded the Council that this proposal was first presented to them by HIALCD and the Council approved the item on the condition that HIALCO obtain operating funds whict they have teen unable to do. He informed the tt.nutes Regular Ccautc,1 ticrrember 19.. 550 Pis-- 6 Council th,it the HiALCO oloanizatior ha4r.ffe ros staff that they had not been able to arrange for those fun •agree witn the Bethune proposal and support it so that a nursery for Census Tracts and 5 ray Le constructed. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that they do not really have to receive proposals on this. Mayor Jones pointed out that Bethune has had a great deal of experience in child care and would be competent to ()aerate this facility. City Manager Townsend pointed out,however.that there could be some other organi- zation that wishes to saomit a proposal. Mayor Pro Tem Sample expressed the opinion that he did not think that going for proposals for this kind of item is the right thing to do. Me suggested that since the nursery is for Census Tracts 4 and 5 and Bethune has submitted a proper proposal with which HIALCO agrees, they should De allowed to acquire the facility and operate the day care center. Several other Council Members indicated their concurrence. City Manager Townsend then amended the City Manager's Report item "n" as follows: * n. The City negotiate with Bethune Day Nursery School, Inc- ea-advertiae far-prepesels under the Sixth Year Cassomity Development Block Grant Program for the 'acquisition, reconstruction, rehabilitation and/or new construction of a day care facility to principally serve Census Tracts 4 and 5. 5190.000 was approved under the Sixth Year Community Development Block Grant Program by the City Council on March 26, 1980 during the Sixth Year public hearing process. o The City declare its intent to continue participation in the multi -jurisdictional Coastal Bend Consnrtium.

Consideration of a motion to amend the industrial district ordinance before its second reading to: (1) Conform the requirement for describing land inside the city to reflect the amendment allowing non-ccntiguaus land; (2) Provide for a. classification or industries and a favored nations clause as to in lieu of tax payments (3) Clarify that land acquired after the date of a contract can be added to the company's property. cgcNeeVali City ger Townsend suggested to znewflz.het they might wish to approve the City Kanager's Repor—.. items 'a- tnrough 'p- de7Lyine the .,ote on "q" until discussion has occurred. Mellon by Sample that the City Menager's Reports iters -a" through "p" be by Turner; and passed unanimously. City Manager Townsend presented to the Council copies of the Motion to Amend the trial district contract and briefly explained the amendment. c to the ae 1 er Turner suggested that the contract be further amended in regard of evaluating property. Motion by Turner that the contract be changed to provide for appraising the valuation of property by using the lifetime value method; seconoed by Oumphy. Co 1 r Best pointed out that if the lifetime valuation method is used rather than the true value, he was of the opinion that the special rate of 5% for businesses in operation less than seven years should be increased to 10%. Dr. Best nted that this change would necessitate rewriting the entire ordinance. City Manager Townsend noted that if the Council would like to provide a means of appeal this process should be set up in the ordinance also. He indicated that industry is agreeable to signing the contract if an appeal procedure is provided. Mr. Townsend nted that if the Council decides to set up an appeal procedure. a ny would have to provide true value of any improvements to their operation. Council ,fl.er Best pointed out that if the Council changes to the lifetime basis for evaluation, the 10Z for new businesses would be more in line with the amount that would be received if 5% were set at 100Z true market value. r Jones stated that he was of the opinion that he could agree to the lifetime value on that basis but pointed out that industries should report to the City what their true values are. Cityllianager Townsend stated that this has not been established by the ordinance under consideration and it would have to be incorporated into the ordinance to require that industries st report their true market value. rones inquired of Council er Turner if she could accept the 10% far new industries rather than the 55 as an amendment to her motion. Council r Zarsky expressed the opinion that it is unnecessary for the City to have a different method of calculating values from all other taxing agencies; the method used for appeals will have to be appraised differently; and expressed the opinion t the City should have the s method of appraisal as all other taxing • • hi nares Regular Comm / Plut Z ,3 horemQer 19, 1960 ?age 8 agencies use; therefore, to c:eld not vote fcr oars ttiranent. Council hanber Best stated that he is irclined to agree with Mr. Zarsky but if industry will accept the lifetime amu will to willing to sign the contract on that basis, he will go along with the amen&ent. Ccuncil !leaser Du phy indicated his concurrence also. M yor Jones called far the vote on the motion made by Council Member Turner and it passed by the failowinq vote: Sample, Best. Diaz, lhasphy. and Turner voting "Aye"; Jones and Zarsky voting 'Kay. Motion by Turner that the Council accept their motion to amend items 1 through 6 as presented by the Staff; seconded by Best; and passed unanimously. Notion by Best to change the percentage to be collected of in lieu of taxes for new businesses from 51 of true market value to 101 of lifetime value; seconded by Zarsky. Council Member Dumphy reiterated that new improveneents will still cover new industry and suggested that the date of consideration be changed from 1981 to 1974 which would cover any new businesses or improvements. Council Herber Diaz indicated his concurrence to change 51 for new businesses to 101 and to change the date of 1981 to 1974. Mayor Jones stated that the Council would like to see figures that will indicate the changes proposed and Council Member Diaz pointed out that the succeeding figures. if the 101 figure is used, would be 201 for the next year, 301 for the following year. etc, Mayor Jones called for the vote on the motion to change 51 to 101 and it passed unanimously. City Manager Townsend asked for guidance from the Council in regard to enacting this motion. He pointed out that the depreciation rates are a big question and the Staff would ordinarily examine these from standard insurance rates but the contract mill have to clearly identify the value of the places. Mayor Jones expressed the opinion that industry should provide a report as to what tate.% they are paying. City Manager Townsend noted that the only really practical way for the Staff to obtain the correct figures would be to contact the managers of all industries this week. Notion by Zarsky that the Staff zontact the affected managers of the various firma C� Minutes Regular Cftecil Pretilc November 15. 15,90 Page 9 ta ask for a report of their talus of their plant; seconded by Best; and passed imianimously. Comicil Member Dunphy reminded tne Co u .;1 that they had discussed amending the definition of industry to allow for including other businesses in the industrial district contract. He questioned the me million dollar minima= indicating that he felt that this was trAhighand suggested changing this figure to 3/4 of a million dollars. Council Member Zarsky expressed the opinion that one million dollars is a fair figure. Council Member Dunphy moved that a paragraph be added to Article III of exhibit of the ordinance to the effect that any cxcpany which qualifies as an industry and which has less than ane million dollars in improvements subject to this agreement such company in lieu of the payments listed in items "a" through "e" should pay eitler an amount in lieu of taxes on said land equal to 100! of the amount of ad valorem taxes based on the market value of said land which would be payable to the City if said land were situated within the Citylimits plus an amount equal to 100% of the ad valorem taxes on one million dollars of improvements which would be payable to the City if said improvements were situated within the City limits regardless of whether one million dollars of improvementS exist on said land or the amount of ad valorem taxes on land improvements in personal property on said land which would be payable to the City if said land improvements and personal property were situated within the City limits of the City indicating that the lower figure would be the amount to be paid. The motion was seconded by Turner. Mayor Pro Tem Sample stated that some oecple feel that annexation is imminent but he did not agree with that assumption. He stated that In his opinion. the problem an taxation is on the national level,not the local level. He agreed that the idea of protecting the area in allowing the small businesses to mare in as an industrial district Is a good ane and indicated he would vote in favor of the motion. Mayor Jones called far the vote on the motion and it passed unanimously. City Manager Townsend pointed out that the second reading on which the Council will vote today would be according to the erendment adopted last week and the third reading. next week, will include the motion adopted today. Nation by Best that instead of the industries being allowed 1ZO days to sign the contract after final reading, this figure be changed to 90 days; seconded by Turner; and passed unanimously.

Hr. Welder assured the Council that he would be glad to provide the figures needed from his client to be used to provide lifetime value figures. City Manager Townsend stated that if Mr. Welder could suggest another method of obtaining the correct values he would be glad to knew about it. Hr. Townsend said he questioned whether or not the County has the correct figures. Mr. Welder had another suggestion and asked that the definition of affiliates also include the parent company and a brother/sister company as defined in the Internal Revenue Report. He two other companies and asked that five He pointed out that than twenty acres. Council Member Zarsky inquired as to how the City will acquire figures from industry to compile a lifetime value. Mr. Welder explained that this would be no c:'c.blem if the industries were cal- culating taxes an a lifetime basis. He suggested that the City could use the 1974 figures and investigate any new improvements to the plants since that time and consider what has been taken off -stream and what is still In operation.

Mr. Kendrick stated that he had no probl with the 107 as apposed to the 5% for new businesses and feels that the lifetime value method is a good one. He -winded the Council that the other me d con ated takes replac,. nt costs and substracts physical deterioration and substracts obsolescence from the figures and the companies would be unsure of what had to pay. He stated that he felt that each company should give the correct figures so that the calculations could be made. Mr. Kendrick also suggested that the Council -,.ve all reference to new ..0anies and the special 107, rate and use the valuation for every company indicating that he felt that such changes would make the contract more acceptable to all industries. He pointed out that there is not much difference been using lifetime values and the other method of c,,utation and assured the Counctt that hissanies will furnish the necessary figures in order that the er calculations for lifetime basis can be made. Mr. Kendrick suggested that it might: be helpful if the attcrneys present at the meeting today could work with the City's Legal Oepar.,-nt to set up the amendments that were adopted by the Council. In a reference to the special rate to new businesses. City Manager Townsend inquired if the attorneys would discuss the net additions or deletions for the basis for the 10% fee.

Mr. Briones also referred to the discussion about parking in the downtown area and several Council Members questioned the possibility of the City's providing some parking. City Manager Townsend stated that if the Council is discussing a standard parking garage and it is not tied into something else. the City Staff is of the opinion that it will not be used unless it is free parking. Council Member Turner again suggested that the City attempt to acquire a site for parking. Hr. Briunes stated that this item is listed as 419 under the Fifth Year Community Pavelopoent Block Grant. He reiterated that they feel that this should be connected with some other project and they have attempted to purchase a site for the purpose.
