Boring' <br />Cc: 'Kelly Rote' <br />Subject: FW: Community-Ind. Dist. Tax Rates.xls <br /> <br />Trey-as of now the FTZ consideration is on the agenda for Jan 22nd-just so you know so is a presentation from the <br />city's Financial Advisor regarding City debt capacity. <br /> <br />Attached is a reformatted table on area government entity taxing and FTZ exemptions. Please review for correctness. <br />I will ask for help on Bay town/Chambers County and Goose Creek-I don't know if Bay town city limits go out to Cedar <br />Crossing which is where I presume was your earlier reference on FTZ. <br /> <br />Also, two more questions have come up. <br /> <br />1) if city did not grant local exemption now-could they come back and do so at a later date? <br />2) Other areas in the city have come up-I understand that whatever the city decides-it becomes the de facto <br />level for FTZ exemption. The question is When would this occur. <br /> <br />My answer is that the FTZ is a specific geographic area and this would not occur until a sponsor (the Port of Houston) <br />was willing and ready to do an expansion of the Foreign Trade Zone. Then that area (or whatever area the Port as <br />sponsor considers) could be considered for expansion. Is this answer essentially correct? <br /> <br />Thanks-you are welcome to call and discuss any/all of this. I should be around all week-just the regular meetings etc. <br />I am trying to wrap up agenda items so I wanted to get this to you <br /> <br />John Joerns <br /> <br />From: Lanclos, Melisa <br />Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 11:50 AM <br />To: Joerns, John <br />Subject: Community-Ind.
