RE: Extension of Industrial District Agreement for tax years 2015 through 2021
Dear Mr. Pipalia:
As you discussed recently with City of Baytown Finance Director Victor Brownlees and City
Attorney Scott Lemond, the City of Baytown is considering changes to its ordinances concerning
Industrial District Agreements. As you point out, the current distinctions between logistics and
non-logistics companies may not be appropriate for every business operating in or near the City.
Given that any change to the ordinances may impact JSW Steel (USA) Inc. ("JSW"), the City
proposes to extend the current (tax year 2015 through 2021) IDA between the City and JSW until
April 30, 2023, or until such time as Baytown City Council passes a new IDA ordinance(s).
The City proposes that the tax year 2015-2021 IDA shall be extended with the following
modifications:
1. JSW's Industrial District Payment under paragraph V shall not be due until June 1,
2023, or until such time as Baytown City Council passes a new IDA ordinance,
whichever comes first.
2. If City Council passes a new IDA ordinance, JSW shall have the option of, on or
before May 1, 2023:
a. entering into a tax year 2022 through 2028 IDA under the new business
class defined by the ordinance,at which time JSW's tax year 2022 Industrial
District Payment shall be due on June 1, 2023 (and for each tax year
thereafter on December 31 of each year during the term of the Agreement);
or
b. entering into a tax year 2022 through 2028 IDA under its existing business
classification, at which time JSW's tax year 2022 Industrial District
Payment shall be due on June 1, 2023 (and for each tax year thereafter on
December 31 of each year during the term of the Agreement); or
C. informing the City Manager that JSW does not wish to enter into a tax year
2022 through 2028 IDA, at which time, JSW's tax year 2022 Industrial
District Payment shall be due on June 1, 2023, and the City of Baytown
shall immediately begin annexation proceedings.
3. If City Council does not pass a new IDA ordinance, JSW shall have the option of,
on or before May 1, 2023:
a. entering into a tax year 2022 through 2028 IDA under its existing business
classification, at which time JSW's tax year 2022 Industrial District
Payment shall be due on June 1, 2023 (and for each tax year thereafter on
December 31 of each year during the term of the Agreement); or
b. informing the City Manager that JSW does not wish to enter into a tax year
2022 through 2028 IDA, at which time, JSW's tax year 2022 Industrial
District Payment shall be due on June 1, 2023, and the City of Baytown
shall immediately begin annexation proceedings.
