AGREEMENT
The CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, (the "City"), acting by and through
its duly authorized City Manager; and the CORPUS CHRISTI INDUSTRIAL PARK, (the
"Park"), a non-profit corporation duly incorporated under the laws of the State
of Texas; for the purpose of developing an industrial park designed to attract
new industrial facilities and new employment opportunities to Corpus Christi,
hereby contract and agree as follows:
1. Park, the owner of the surface of the property described on the at-
tached Exhibit A, (hereinafter "Phase I"), will plat Phase I as an industrial
subdivision in a manner acceptable to City and will file for record restrictions
in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B. Changes may be made in such
restrictions prior to the time they are executed and filed for record with the
approval of City and Park.
2. Park will use its best efforts to contract, under terms presently
proposed, for the sale of 22.03 acres of such land to Harris Corporation or its
affiliate, Dracon Corporation ("Harris/Dracon"), on or about July 16, 1980, or
as soon thereafter as possible.
3. Park will use its best efforts to sell the remainder of Phase I to
other purchasers who will provide reasonable assurance that they will construct
industrial facilities meeting the requirements of such restrictions and will pro-
vide jobs which will be new to the community and commensurate with the public in-
vestment in the lots being sold.
4. Park will pay to City the sum of $150,000 for the purpose of defraying
the costs of sanitary sewers for Phase I, together with defraying a portion of the
remainder of the improvement costs incurred by City in connection therewith. Said
sum shall be payble to the City on demand as required for such costs as they are
incurred.
5. City will install gas lines and provide service to occupants of Phase
I as needed, at a reasonable cost to the occupant based upon the published City fee
schedule for taps.
6. City will contract for the construction of water mains, sanitary sewers,
streets, and storm drainage for the property in Phase I as set forth in the plans
and specifications approved by the Council of City on May 14, 1980. Park grants
all rights to City and its contractors to use the property during the period of
construction, in no event to be earlier than August 1, 1980, in any manner which is
reasonably necessary for the furtherance of said construction.
7. Upon the sale by Park of any lot in Phase I, Park will pay to City
$6,457.29 per acre, plus interest at the rate of 10% per year from the date of
completion of the improvements. Said amount shall be due and payable on the date
of sale by Park; provided, however, that such payment by Park shall not be re-
quired if:
(a) The Corpus Christi Industrial Commission determines in writing
that jobs will be created on the property being sold which will be
new to the community and commensurate with the public investment in
the lots being sold;
(b) The Corpus Christi Industrial Commission approves the plan, specs-
ficiations and timetable for the construction of facilities which pro-
vide such jobs, provided that the Corpus Christi Industrial Commission
may approve amendments to plans and specifications and allow .reasonable
extensions of time upon the request of the purchaser or Park; and
(c) The first phase of construction is completed according to the plan,
specifications and timetable as finally approved by the Corpus Christi
Industrial Commission.
In the alternative, such payment by Park shall not be required if the Corpus Christi
Industrial Commission determines in writing that Park has retained the right to re-
purchase the property in the event the purchaser fails to construct facilities
which will provide jobs new to the community and commensurate with the public in-
vestment. If a sale is made with the right to repurchase retained by Park and the
purchaser fails to construct facilities to provide such jobs, Park agrees to exer-
cise its right to repurchase the property or pay to City $6,457.29 per acre plus
interest as set forth above.
8. Park will properly maintain the street right of way area adjacent to
any unsold lots in Phase I. Such duties shall include mowing the grassy areas be-
tween the street and sidewalks in the right of way, keeping the area clear of
debris and obstructions, and maintaining the area with due regard to preserving
the value of the City improvements. Park will insure that any agricultural acti-
vities allowed on unsold lots in Phase I shall not result in damages to the streets,
sidewalks, storm drainage or other improvements made by City.
9. Park will use its best efforts to obtain the guarantee of the Corpus
Christi Industrial Foundation for the performance of Park in all the duties, obli-
gations and covenants ascribed to Park under this agreement. In the event Park
2
• •
shall convey to the Corpus Christi Industrial Foundation any or all of the lots
in Phase I when no industrial purchaser of the lots has been obtained, the payment
by Park of the $6,457.29 per acre charge described in paragraph 7 shall not be
required; provided that, the Corpus Christi Industrial Foundation will agree to
hold the property subject to the same duties and obligations required of Park
under this agreement.
10. City and Park intend to develop adjacent property in any subsequent
phases of this project under similar terms to this agreement, as the demand there-
for arises, and with City completing the necessary improvements on a timetable
commensurate with the demand for development. Park's share of the cost of improve-
ments for any subsequent phase of development, in the absence of any agreement
otherwise, will be the sum of $175,000; and Park will be obligated to pay an addi-
tional charge under provisions similar to paragraph 7 of this agreement based upon
the remaining cost of improvements to be prorated according to the acres platted
for sale as lots to industrial purchasers.
