, a -Vi: L.,A I.VA~&e. corporation, hereinafter
called "COMPANY",
WIT N E S. SET H:
WHEREAS, it is the established policy of the City Council of
the City of La Porte, Texas, to adopt such reasonable measures from
time to time as are permitted by law and which will tend to enhance
the economic stability and growth of the city and its environs by
attracting the location of new and the expansion of existing
industries therein, and such policy is hereby reaffirmed and
adopted by this City Council as being in the best interest of the
City and its.citizens; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to its policy, City has enacted Ordinance
No. 729, designating portions of the area located in its
extraterritorial jurisdiction as the "Battleground Industrial
District of La Porte, Texas", and Ordinance No. 842A, designating
portions of the area located in its extraterritorial jurisdiction
as the "Bayport Industrial District of La Porte, Texas",
hereinafter collectively called "District", such Ordinances being
in compliance with the Municipal Annexation Act of Texas, codified
as Section 42.044, Texas Local Government Code; and .
WHEREAS, Company is the owner of land wi thin a designated
Industrial District of the City of La Porte, said land being
legally described on the attached Exhibit "A" (hereinafter "Land") ;
and said Land being more particularly shown on a plat attached as
Exhibit "B", which plat describes the ownership boundary lines; a
si te layout, showing all improvements, including pipelines and
railroads, and also showing areas of the Land previously annexed
by the City of La Porte; and
WHEREAS, City desires to encourage the expansion and growth
of industrial plants within said Districts and for such purpose
desires to enter into this Agreement with Company pursuant to
Ordinance adopted by the City Council of said City and recorded in
the official minutes of said City:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual agreements of the parties contained herein and pursuant to
the authority granted under the Municipal Annexation Act and the
Ordinances of City referred to above, City and Company hereby agree
with each other as follows:
Revised: October 22, 1993
e
e
I.
City covenants, agrees and guarantees that during the term of this
Agreement, provided below, and subject to the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, said District shall continue to retain its
extraterritorial status as an industrial district, at least to the
extent that the same covers the Land belonging to Company and its
assigns, unless and until the status of said Land, or a portion or
portions thereof, as an industrial district may be changed pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing and to
the later provisions of this Agreement, City does further covenant,
agree and guarantee that such industrial district, to the extent
that it covers said Land lying within said District and not now
within the corporate limits of City, shall be immune from
annexation by City during the term hereof (except as hereinafter
provided) and shall have no right to have extended to it any
services by city, and that all Land, including that which has been
heretofore annexed, shall not have extended to it by ordinance any
rules and regulations (a) governing plats and subdivisions of land,
(b) prescribing any building, electrical, plumbing or inspection
code or codes, or (c) attempting to exercise in any manner whatever
control over the conduct of business thereon; provided, however,
it is agreed that City shall have the right to institute or
intervene in any administrative and/or judicial proceeding
authorized by the Texas Water Code, the Texas Clean Air Act, the
Texas Health & Safety Code, or other federal or state environmental
laws, rules or regulations, to the same extent and to the same
intent and effect as if all Land covered by this Agreement were
not subject to the Agreement.
II.
In the event that any portion of the Land has heretofore been
annexed by City, Company agrees to render and pay full City ad
valorem taxes on such annexed Land and improvements, and tangible
personal property.
Under the terms of the Texas Property Tax Code (S.B. 621, Acts of
the 65th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1979, as amended), the
appraised value for tax purposes of the annexed portion of Land,
improvements, and tangible personal property shall be determined
by the Harris County Appraisal District. The parties hereto
recognize that said Appraisal District has no authority to appraise
the Land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the
unan:nexed area for the purpose of computing the "in lieu" payments
hereunder. Therefore, the parties agree that the appraisal of the
Land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the unannexed
area shall be conducted by City, at City's expense, by an
independent appraiser of city's selection. The parties recognize
that in making such appraisal for "in lieu" payment purposes, such
appraiser must of necessi ty appraise the entire (annexed and
unannexed) Land, improvements, and tangible personal property.
Nothing herein contained shall ever be interpreted as lessening the
authority of the Harris County Appraisal District to establish the
appraised value of Land, improvements, and tangible personal
2
e
e
property in the ann~xed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes.
\.
III.
A. On or before April 15, 1994, and on or before each April 15th
thereafter, unless an extension is granted,in accordance with the
Texas Property Tax Code, through and including April 15, 2000,
Company shall provide City with a written description of its Land
and all improvements and tangible personal property located on the
Land as of the immediately preceding January 1st, stating its
opinion of the Property's market value, and being sworn to by an
authorized officer of the Company authorized to do so, or Company's
duly authorized agent, (the Company's "Rendition"). Company may
file such Rendition on a Harris County Appraisal District rendition
form, or similar form. The properties which the Company must
render and upon which the "in lieu of" taxes are assessed are more
fully described in subsections 1, 2, and 3 of subsection D, of this
Paragraph III (sometimes collectively called the "Property"). A
failure by Company to file a Rendition as provided for in this
paragraph, shall constitute a waiver by Company for the current tax
year, of all rights of protest and appeal under the terms of this
Agreement.
B,. As part of its rendition, Company shall furnish to City a
written report of the names and addresses of all persons and
entities who store any tangible personal property on the Land by
bailment, lease, consignment, or other arrangement with Company
("products in storage"), and are in the possession or under the
management of Company on January 1st of each Value Year, further
giving a description of such products in storage.
C. On or before the later of December 31, 1994, or 30 days from

31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2000, Company
shall pay to City an amount "in lieu of taxes" on Company's
. Property as of January 1st of the current calendar year ("Value
Year") . .
D. Company agrees to render to City and pay an amount "in lieu
of taxes" on company' s Land, improvements and tangible personal
property in the unannexed area equal to the sum of:
1. (a) Fifty percent (50%) of the amount of ad valorem
taxes which would be payable to City if all of the
Company · s Land and improvements which existed on

1996, had be~within the corporate limits of City
ana- appraised each year by Ci ty · s independent

from taxation), for each Value Year following
completion of construction in progress, an amount

projects that are completed in a Value Year can be
cumulated to arrive at the amount for the increase
in value.

the value established on January 1, 1993, an amount
equal to the amount of the depreciation will be
removed from this calculation to restore the value
to the January 1, 1993, value; and

1996, had been within the corporate limits of City
and appraised each year by the City's independent
appraiser;

any new legislation is thereafter enacted by the Legislature of the
State of Texas which imposes greater restrictions on the right of
City to annex land belonging to Company or imposes further
obligations on City in connection therewith after the annexation
of such land, Company will waive the right to require City to
