Execute Industrial Contract with Gulf Oil Corporation and Letter of Accord
Proposed Ordinance No. 50604 -2 will authorize the Mayor to execute an
Industrial Agreement between the City of Baytown and Gulf Oil Corporation and
Letter of Accord between the City of Baytown and Gulf Oil Corporation. The
industrial district agreement is the same as the ones previously executed, with
two exceptions.
(1) The property that has been annexed was not annexed in time to be
applicable for the first two years. The contract is worded in such a way that Gulf
agrees to pay the amount equal to the amount that they would pay had 20% of their plant
been previously annexed to the city.
(2) The City agrees that any standards or criteria adopted in the future
regarding noise levels willnot prohibit or restrain activities currently carried on
by Gulf.
