2. PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS
a. Interlocal Agreement with City of Baytown for Funding of a Development
Agreement - Administration.
General Manager, Garry Brumback presented the agenda item and stated that Resolution
No. 141 authorizes an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Baytown to provide up to
$40,000 for a development project that will promote a new restaurant business in the
district on Garth Road.
The City is working with a developer to attract a 7,500 sq. ft. national restaurant to a tract
on Garth Road that has remained undeveloped due to the unique and costly challenges
posed by the site. This site located adjacent to the Pier One shopping Center is
restricted by a number of pipeline easements. While parking can be placed on these
easements, special requirements for working in these easements raises the site
development costs by $50,000.
To help mitigate these costs and provide an incentive to building this well -known
restaurant in Baytown, it is proposed that the City enter into an Economic
Development Contract known as a Chapter 380 Agreement with the developer. This
agreement will reimburse up to $40,000 for water and wastewater impact fees and
building permit and inspection fees for this construction. The Chapter 380
Agreement will also establish time lines for construction and occupancy and set
benchmarks regarding the minimum taxable value of the developed property and the
minimum number of jobs created as requirements to receive the funding.
This development has a projected value of $1 million upon completion and this
company's stores usually employ over 100 people with an average of $4.9 million in sales
annually. This agreement will be funded from the Economic Development portion of the
adopted budget which is set aside for "Development of New and Existing Businesses and
Industry."
