[2. Consider the Consent Agenda]
NEXT ITEM TO CONSIDER THE CONSENT AGENDA. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY REQUEST TO HAVE ANYTHING PULLED. BUT OBVIOUSLY IF THERE IS, IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW SO WE COULD HAVE THE APPROPRIATE[3. Written Briefings]
STAFF AVAILABLE. MOVING ON TO ITEM THREE WRITTEN BRIEFINGS, A NAMING OF NEW LIBRARY IN WEST GARLAND. ITEM THREE B BOND REFUNDING ELECTRIC UTILITY SYSTEM, COMMERCIAL PAPER NOTES.OKAY? AND MOVING ON TO ITEM. FOUR VERBAL BRIEFINGS. ADAM FOUR. OH, I'M SORRY. I DID NOT SEE THAT, OKAY? COUNCILOR WILLIAMS. I THINK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THIS IS THREE BE CORRECT ON THE RED AND BRIEFINGS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UH ASKED, UH, MANAGER TO HAVE STAFF GIVE A BRIEF UM, BRIEFING NO, THAT'S REDUNDANT OF THIS, TOO, AND SORT OF BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IT IS AND HOW HOW DOES THIS BENEFIT THE CITY IN THE LONG RUN PROJECT, SO QUESTION THAT FROM MR WATSON SURE, THANK YOU. SO TO BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS IS SO THE CITY OF GARLAND AND THROUGH WITH ELECTRIC CAR ELECTRIC UTILITY, WE USE WHAT WE COMMONLY REFER TO AS A COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAM TO DO INTERIM FINANCING FOR ALL OF OUR C I P PROJECTS. SO IN GENERAL, WHAT HAPPENS IS COUNCIL APPROVES THE CRP ANNUALLY WITH THE GIVING THE AUTHORITY FOR THE CITY TO ISSUE DEBT TO COMPLETE CERTAIN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS THAT ARE ALSO APPROVED BY COUNCIL AND WITH THE ELECTRIC UTILITY. THOSE RANGE FROM TRANSMISSION LINES, DISTRIBUTION LINES. FACILITY RELOCATIONS, SUBSTATION UPGRADES. AND WHAT WE DO IS WE DON'T RIGHT AFTER THE APPROVAL OF THAT PROCESS, WE DON'T GO ISSUE LONG TERM DEBT FOR THOSE PROJECTS AND WHY WE DON'T DO THAT IS WE DON'T WANT TO INCUR INTEREST ON PROJECTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN COMPLETED. SO WHAT? WE UTILIZES AN INTERIM FINANCING TOOL OR CONSTRUCTION FINANCING TOOL KNOWN AS COMMERCIAL PAPER, WHICH IS SHORT TERM HAS MUCH LOWER INTEREST RATE, WHICH LOWERS OUR COST OF BORROWING, AND WE ROLL THAT PERIODICALLY AND THEN WE'LL TAKE IT OUT INTO LONG TERM DEBT WHEN THESE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ARE COMPLETED. AND TO REMIND COUNSEL WITH WITH THE ELECTRIC UTILITY. WE WANT TO TIE OUR DEBT EXPENSES WITH OUR COST RECOVERY THROUGH TRANSMISSION COSTS. FILINGS WITH THE P. YOU SEE, SO WHAT THAT DOES IS ALLOW US TO RECOUP THAT EXPENDITURE ACROSS ALL MARKET CUSTOMERS, NOT JUST CITY OF GARLAND CUSTOMERS AND ALSO MAKE A REASONABLE RETURN ON THAT INVESTMENT. SO THAT'S HOW WHY WE UTILIZE THIS PROGRAM. SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING HERE IS WE'VE COMPLETED THESE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. WE WOULD LIKE TO REFUND THESE INTO LONG TERM DUCK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR WATSON. APPRECIATE THAT INFORMATION VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THAT'S ALL I NEEDED. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT, LET'S SEE
[4.a. Request for Texas Enterprise Zone Program Nomination for Zobele, USA ]

WE'RE WORKING ON THE MONITORS.OKAY GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL TONIGHT I'M HERE TO, UM , ON BEHALF OF DOUBLY USA TO NOMINATE THEM FOR THE TEXAS ENTERPRISE THEM PROJECT. FIRST I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT COMPANY.
THEY ARE GLOBAL MANUFACTURER OF HOME AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCT. THEY ARE FROM TREE NOW ITALY THEIR HEADQUARTER. THEY STARTED FOUNDED. UM THE HEADQUARTER IS THERE I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE GOOGLE MAP. THEY ARE BETWEEN MILAN, ITALY AND VENICE, SO THERE'S KIND OF BETWEEN THAT AREA. THEY ARE 8000 EMPLOYEES AND EIGHT INDUSTRIAL SITES IN A COUNTRY'S IN GARLAND, THEY ARE RELEASING 164,000 SQUARE FOOT MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION FACILITY AT 35 02 REGION.
[00:05:05]
SEACREST SINCE 2018 PRODUCT. THEY ARE HERE IN GARLAND. THEY'RE PRODUCING FABRIC AND LAUNDRY CARE. UH SO ALSO, THEY'RE SURPRISED TO CONSUMER GOODS COMPANY PRIMARY REGIONAL BRAND AND RETAIL. THEY ARE CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS SO THAT YOU DON'T SEE THE DOUBLY NAME ON THE PRODUCT. BUT THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF, UM BRIAN DO WE CAN REALIZE RECOGNIZE AT THE GROCERY STORE. HERE IS THE LOCATION THERE'S BETWEEN THERE ON THE JUPITER AND BETWEEN MILLER ROAD AND KINGSLEY ROAD. THIS IS FROM A REGION SEACREST SITE MAINTENANCE TRANCE. THIS IS BEHIND IT THAT THE PICTURE IS TAKEN FROM HELIPORT SITE. NOW HERE IS FROM THE WEST SIDE, THIS BRAND NEW, BIG BUILDING AND THAT WALL THAT'S THE ONE THEY EXPERIENCE 74,000 SQUARE FEET LAST YEAR. SO IF YOU REMEMBER EXPANSION HAPPENED IN 2021 DOUBLE A PROPOSED TO INVEST OVER $30 MILLION FOR THE 76,000 SQUARE FEET, THE BUILDING EXPANSION AND ALSO PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT. AND A NEW MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT AND ALSO THEY UPGRADED SOME MACHINERY. AT THAT TIME THEY REQUESTED THE ENTERPRISE ZONE PROJECT NOMINATION AND THE THEY'RE RETAINING 187 FULL TIME EMPLOYEES, AND THEY PLAN TO CREATE 100 JOBS. HERE IS A SITE PLAN. UM AND THE BUILDING EXISTING WAREHOUSE 142,000 SQUARE FEET AND THAT'S EXPANSION WEST SIDE OF BUILDING 76,000 SQUARE FEET. INCENTIVE AGREEMENT IN POINT IS IN PLACE EXECUTED IN JANUARY, 2022 CITY OFFERING REBATING 40% OF A NEW BP VALUATION FOR FIVE YEARS, SO THEY REBATE PERIOD IS TAXI OR 2022 TO 2026. SO WE JUST COMPLETED THE COMPLIANCE FOR 20 TAXI AT 2022. THEY MEET THE ALL THE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENT AND THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A PAYMENT. SO SINCE THEY ARE LEASING THIS FACILITY, WE ARE NOT REBATING OR ANY INCENTIVE FOR THE REAL ESTATE TAX. BUT AT THAT TIME NOMINATION FOR THE TEXAS ENTERPRISE PRIDE, SOME PROJECT IS MENTIONED AN AGREEMENT. I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOUR TAX EVALUATION IN HISTORY.THEY CAME TO GARLAND 2019. SO 2019 2018 SO FIRST YEAR IN OPERATION WITH 2019 AT THAT TIME, A REAL ESTATE VALUE AGAIN . THEY ARE NOT OWNING A PROPERTY . SO THIS IS THE THEY'RE LEASING A PROPERTY. BUT REAL ESTATE VALUE IS 7 MILLION AND TAXABLE BP P VALUE ON THE 2019 WAS 17.5 MILLION. 2027 REAL ESTATE VALUE AND DIDN'T REALLY CHANGE MUCH. BUT TAXABLE BBP VALUE WAS 22 POINT, 8,000,020 21. WE WERE DISCUSSING THAT EXPANSION WORKING WITH THEM FOR THIS PROJECT. TAXABLE B P P AT THAT TIME, 27.4 AGAIN THE LAST YEAR THE HALF OF THE PROJECT COMPLETED SO WHICH INCLUDES $76,000, 1000, DOLLARS 1000 SQUARE FEET, UH, BUILDING EXPANSION, SO IT BROUGHT TO 12.6 MILLION ON REAL ESTATE VALUE. TALKED ABOUT B P P VALUE AGAIN, AS YOU SEE OVER CLOSE TO $30 MILLION INCREASE, SO RIGHT NOW 56.7 MILLION THE B P P VALUE. SO JUST NOW THEY ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST PROPERTY TAX GENERATORS AND JUST LOOKING AT THE B P P VALUE. THERE ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT IN GARLAND. ABOUT TEXAS SENT ABROAD PRICES ON PROJECT THIS IS A STATE INCENTIVE PROGRAM. THIS IS SALES TAX AND THE USE TAX REFUND PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE INVESTMENT IN JOB CREATION AND RETENTION. A REFUND IS UP TO 2500 PER FULL TIME JOB. SO DOUBLY IS, UM PLANNING TO, UM. APPLY 284 JOBS . I'M SORRY 287 JOBS. AND IN THIS REALLY THE REQUIREMENT IS CITY, MASS. NOMINATE THE PROJECT AND THE CITY OF GARLAND. BECAUSE OF OUR POPULATION, WE ARE GIVEN SIX NOMINATIONS EVERY TWO YEARS , SO NEW TWO YEAR START FROM SEPTEMBER 2023. SO FROM WHEN WE NOMINATE THIS PROJECT, WE STILL HAVE A FIVE MORE PROJECT UNTIL AUGUST 2025. YES SO IN THE PAST ONE OTHER PROJECT WE NOMINATED IT BACK IN 2019 WHEN KRAFT HEINZ FOOD COMPANY, UM, EXPANDED $25 MILLION EXPANSION. THE REQUIREMENT THAT WE'VE IF THIS
[00:10:01]
PROJECT IS AWARDED, THE COMPANY MUST HIRE 35% OF THEIR NEW EMPLOYEE. THEY HAVE TO BE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED. THAT MEANS THAT PERSON HAS TO BE EMPLOYED OVER THREE MONTHS. AND OR THE ENTERPRISE ZONE RESIDENTS, SO WE HAVE SOME CENSUS AREA IN GARLAND. IT'S ENTERPRISE ZONE RESIDENTS AND ALSO THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HIRE VETERANS. BENEFIT APPLY ONLY THE JOBS WITH THE WEEKLY WAGES ABOVE DALLAS COUNTY. SINCE WE'RE IN DALLAS COUNTY. THIS IS VERY HIGH, BUT 2022 AVERAGE FOR DALLAS COUNTY IS 16/1600 DOLLARS . THAT MEANS 83,000 ANNUALLY.DESIGNATION PERIOD IS UP TO FIVE YEARS. SO IF THIS PROJECT THAT AWARDED IS STARTING THIRD QUARTER 2023, AND IF THEY CAN GET THE BENEFIT IS UNTIL SECOND QUARTER, 2028. OUR STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS WE LIKE TO GRANT THE REQUEST NOMINATE THE COMPANY FOR TEXAS ENTERPRISE ZONE PROJECT. AGAIN THIS, UM, THAT COMPANY WILL BENEFIT UP TO 2500 PER JOB BASED ON 287 JOBS.
THEIR POTENTIAL BENEFIT FOR THIS COMPANY IS 717,000. THIS ONE IS REALLY WE AT THE CITY IS NO FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION NEEDED. AND, UH, IF. THERE'S NO QUESTION WE HAVE A PLAN TO REQUEST FINAL APPROVAL AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON AUGUST 1ST. WITH THAT. ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? CUSTOMER, WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MAYOR.
