Without this investment the company would cease operations in Lubbock within three years, removing $3 million from the tax base and a 65 person, $3 million annual payroll from the economy. The scope of the project greatly exceeds the minimum investment criteria governing tax abatement. The facility is located within an enterprise zone and will add significantly to the local tax base.

Municipal Drive. The mill building will measure 90' W X 60' L and 163' H, with an attached 120' x 315' warehouse. b) Total assets committed will include approximately $6.5 million in real estate improvements and $8.5 million of personal property. The project will entail construction of the buildings as well as installation of all mechanical and process systems including mixing, pelleting, and packaging equipment, elevator legs, storage bins and a bulk feed loadout facility. c) This investment will constitute a total replacement of the existing manufacturing facility. Due to the age and condition of the existing facility, production here would not be feasible past the next three years. Purina will have no employees in the Lubbock area without this plant replacement. d) A map of the building site is included. e) The current facility has a personal property tax value of slightly less than $3.0 million. The acquired real property currently has no personal property associated. f) Work will begin approximately March, 1997, with completion expected around August, 1998. At that time the existing wood -framed structure, built in 1941, will be demolished. g) The existing plant will be replaced with a larger, modern, state-of-the-art facility better meeting the demands of Purina's growing customer base. h) Upon completion of all improvements, Purina's new and retained facilities in Lubbock will have a valuation of approximately $15 million. i) The current facility has an assessed real property value of approximately $575,000. The acquired real property has a value of less than $50,000. j) The Lubbock location currently employs 65 full-time employees. Estimates show this level of employment maintained in the new facility. ra1Wo 1/r s E.

Without this investment the company would cease operations in Lubbock within three years, removing $3 million from the tax base and a 65 person, $3 million annual payroll from the economy. The scope of the project greatly exceeds the minimum investment criteria governing tax abatement. The facility is located within an enterprise zone and will add significantly to the local tax base. im-us-jt rKi uaiuu rn LtiR ULNIKHL HrrK, U; ffbUbf(491Z3b F. 02 19967AX ' DAYA9LE.

Resolution #5453 referenced the agreement between City of Lubbock and Purina Mills; thus, the Memorandum For Record content did not affect the agreement and no amendment is required. MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD The following paragraph was inadvertently left out of the Regular City Council Meeting Minutes, March 27, 1997. This paragraph was obtained from the video recordings of the March 27, 1997 Regular City Council Meeting. "Futhermore, I would propose appending said motion to state that the City Council does not desire to grant any further exceptions to the Tax Abatement Policy and Guidelines and finally, append the motion to the state that City Council direct the city staff to immediately start the revision process to the Tax Abatement Policy and Guidelines." Councilmember Hernandez made a motion to Item #30. He read from a prepared statement to be inserted into Exhibit "C" prior to the last "WHEREAS" paragraph in the preamble. The before mentioned paragraph will be inserted following the prepared statement when the permanent minutes are prepared. IN THE EVENT OF PASSAGE OF NOTICE OF INTENT; PLEASE READ THIS AMENDMENT TO THE PROPOSED TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT INTO THE RECORD. Insert prior to the last "WHEREAS" paragraph in the pre4mble: WHEREAS, Section 312.204(f) of the Tax Code provides that Tax Abatement Agreements for property located in a municipal enterprise zone are not required to contain identical terms to all other Tax Abatement Agreements; and WHEREAS, it is anticipated that law resulting in reduced local ad valorem taxation by cities, counties and school districts on businesses shall be enacted by the Texas Legislature; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the total tax abatement to be provided by the City to the Company for the tax abatement term shall be reduced at the end of each term year after the base year by the same amount of any ad valorem tax reduction provided by the Texas legislature beyond the ad valorem tax rate that would otherwise have been in effect in without such legislation having been passed; and Add to Section 5: The amount of taxes herein abated shall be reduced dollar for dollar by any amount of ad valorem tax relief that shall be granted by the Texas Legislature during the term of this agreement. Such reduction in abatement shall be included in each year's tax payment by the Company to the City following the base year should the Legislature take such action. ddcon/taxcon.doc EXHIBIT "C" STATE OF TEXAS § COUNTY OF LUBBOCK § This Agreement made this 77rh day of March , 1997, by and between the City of Lubbock, Texas, a home rule municipality of the State of Texas (hereinafter called "City") and Purina Mills, Inc.
