INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT made and entered into by and between the CITY
OF LA PORTE, TEXAS, a municipal corporation of Harris County,
Texas, hereinafter called "CITY", and QUANTUM CHEMICAL CORPORA-
TION , a Virginia corporation, hereinafter'
called "COMPANY",
WIT N E SSE T 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 collectlvely 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 within 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
site 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
un annexed 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 necessity 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
.
property in the annexed 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
mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each Decem~er
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 un annexed 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
January 1, 1994, January 1, 1995, and January 1,
1996, had been within the corporate limits of City
and appraised each year by City's independent
appraiser; and
(b) Fifty-three percent (53%) 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 January 1, 1997, January 1, 1998, January 1,
1999, and January 1, 2000, had been within the
corporate limits of City and appraised each year by
3
'.
e
e
city's independent appraiser; and
2. (a) On any Substantial Increase in value of the Land,
improvements, and tangible personal property
(excluding inventory) dedicated to new construction,
in excess of the appraised value of same on January
1, 1993, resulting from new construction (exclusive
of construction in progress, which shall be exempt
from taxation), for each Value Year following
completion of construction in progress, an amount
equal to Thirty percent (30%) of the amount of ad
valorem taxes which wpuld be payable to City if all
of said new construction had been within the
corporate limits of City and appraised by City's
independent appraiser.
(b) A Substantial Increase in value of the Land and
improvements as used in subparagraph 2(a} above, is
defined as an increase in value that is the lesser
of either:
i. at least Five percent (5%) of the total
appraised value of Land and improvements, on
January 1, 1993; or
ii. a cumulative value of at least $3,500,000.00.
For the purposes of this Agreement, multiple
projects that are completed in a Value Year can be
cumulated to arrive at the amount for the increase
in value.
(c) If existing property values have depreciated below
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
3. (a) Fifty-percent (50%) of the amount of ad valorem
taxes which would be payable to City on all of the
Company's tangible personal property of every
description, including, without limitation,
inventory, oil, gas, and mineral interests, items
of leased equipment, railroads, pipelines, and
products in storage located on the Land, if all of
said tangible personal property which existed on
January 1, 1994, January 1, 1995, and January 1,
1996, had been within the corporate limits of City
and appraised each year by the City's independent
appraiser;
(b) Fifty-three percent (53%) of the amount of ad
valorem taxes which would be payable to City on all
of the Company's tangible personal property of every
description, including, without limitation,
inventory, oil, gas, and mineral interests, items
4
e
e
\
of leased equipment, railroads, pipelines, and
products in storage located on the Land, if all of
said tangible personal property which existed on
January 1, 1997, January 1, 1998, January 1, 1999,
and January 1, 2000, had been within the corporate
limits of city and appraised each year by the City's
independent appraiser.
with the sum of 1, 2 and 3 reduced by the amount of city's ad
valorem taxes on the annexed portion thereof as determined by
appraisal by the Harris County Appraisal District.
IV.
This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day
of January, 1994, and continuing thereafter until December 31,
2000, unless extended for an additional period or periods of time
upon mutual consent of Company and City as provided by the
Municipal Annexation Act; provided, however, that in the event this
Agreement is not so extended for an additional period or periods
of time on or before August 31, 2000, the agreement of city not to
annex property of Company within the District shall terminate. In
that event, City shall have the right to commence immediate
annexation proceedings as to all of Company's property covered by
this Agreement, notwithstanding any of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
Company agrees that if the Texas Municipal Act, section 42.044,
Texas Local Government Code, is amended after January 1, 1994, or
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
comply with any such additional restrictions or obligations and the
rights of the parties shall be then determined in accordance with
the provisions of said Texas Municipal Annexation Act as the same
existed January 1, 1994.
V.
This Agreement may be extended for an additional period or periods
by agreement between City and Company and/or its assigns even
though it' is not extended by agreement between City and all of the
owners of all land within the District of which it is a part.
VI.
A. In the event Company elects to protest the valuation for tax
purposes set on its said properties by City or by the Harris County
Appraisal District for any year or years during the terms hereof,
nothing in this Agreement shall preclude such protest and Company
shall have the right to take all legal steps desired by it to
reduce the same.
Notwithstanding such protest by Company, Company agrees to pay to
5
e
e
\
City on or before the date therefor hereinabove provided, at least
the total of (a) the total amount of ad valorem taxes on the
annexed portions, plus (b) the total amount of the "in lieu of
taxes" on the unannexed portions of Company's hereinabove described
property which would be due to city in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the basis of renditions
which shall be filed by Company.
When the city or Harris County Appraisal District (as the case may
be) valuation on said property of Company has been so finally
determined, either as the result of final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction or as the result of other final conclusion
of the controversy, then within thirty (30) days thereafter Company
shall make payment to city of any additional payment due hereunder
based on such final valuation, together with applicable penalties,
interests, and costs.
B. Should Company disagree with any appraisal made by the
independent appraiser selected by City pursuant to Article II above
(which shall be given in writing to Company), Company shall, within
twenty (20) days of receiving such copy, give written notice to the
City of such disagreement. In the event Company does not give such
written notice of disagreement within such time period, the
appraisal made by said independent appraiser shall be final and
controlling for purposes of the determination of "in lieu of taxes"
payments to be made under this Agreement.
Should Company give such notice of disagreement, Company shall also
submit to the City with such notice a written statement setting
forth what Company believes to be the market value of Company's
hereinabove described property. Both parties agree to thereupon
enter into good faith negotiations in an attempt to reach an
agreement as to the market valu~ of Company's property for "in
lieu" purposes hereunder. If, after the expiration of thirty (30)
days from the date the notice of disagreement was received by City,
the parties have not reached agreement as to such market value, the
parties agree to submit the dispute to final arbitration as
provided in subparagraph 1 of this Article VI B. Notwithstanding
any such disagreement by Company, Company agrees to pay to City on
or before December 31 of each year during the term hereof, at least
the total of (a) the ad valorem taxes on the annexed portions, plus
(b) the total amount of the "in lieu" payments which would be due
hereunder on the basis of Company's valuations rendered and/ or
submitted to City by Company hereunder, or the total assessment and
"in lieu of taxes" thereon for the last preceding year, whichever
is higher.
1. A Board of Arbitrators shall be created composed of one
person named by Company, one by City, and a third to be
named by those two. In case of no agreement on this
arbitrator in 10 days, the parties will join in a written
request that the Chief Judge of the u.s. District Court
for the Southern District of Texas appoint the third
arbitrator who, (as the "Impartial Arbitrator") shall
preside over the arbitration proceeding. The sole issue
to be determined in the arbitration shall be resolution
6
, ..
e
e
. of the difference between the parties as to the fair
market value of Company's property for calculation of the
"in lieu" payment and total payment hereunder for the
year in question. The Board shall hear and consider all
relevant and material evidence on that issue including
expert opinion, and shall render its written decision as
promptly as practicable. That decision shall then be
final and binding upon the parties, subj ect only to
jUdicial review as may be available under the Texas
General Arbitration Act (Articles 224-238, Vernon's
Annotated Revised civil statutes of Texas). Costs of the
arbitration shall be shared equally by the Company and
the city, provided that each party shall bear its own
attorneys fees.
. VII.
city shall be entitled to a tax lien on Company's above described
property, all improvements thereon, and all tangible personal
property thereon, in the event of default in payment of "in lieu
of taxes" payments hereunder, which shall accrue penalty and
interest in like manner as delinquent taxes, and which shall be
collectible by City in the same manner as provided by law for
delinquent taxes.
VIII.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
ci ty and Company, and upon Company's successors and assigns,
aff iliates and subsidiaries, and shall remain in force whether
Company sells, assigns, or in any other manner disposes of, either
voluntarily or by operation of law, all or any part of the property
belonging to it within' the territory hereinabove described, and the
agreements herein contained shall be held to be covenants running
with the land owned by Company situated within said territory, for
so long as this Agreement or any extension thereof remains in
force. Company shall give City written notice within ninety (90)
days, with full particulars as to property assigned and identity
of assignee, of any disposition of the Land, and assignment of this
Agreement.
IX.
If City enters into an Agreement with any other landowner with
respect to an industrial district or enters into a renewal of any.
existing industrial district agreements after the effective date
hereof and while this Agreement is in effect, which contains terms
and provisions more favorable to the landowner than those in this
Agreement, Company and its assigns shall have the right to amend
this Agreement and City agrees to amend same to embrace the more
favorable terms of such agreement or renewal agreement. This
Paragraph shall not apply to any Court ordered extension of the
term of the Agreement ordered in Southern Ionics, Inc. vs City of
La Porte, civil Action H-89-3969, United states District Court,
Southern District of Texas.
7
. I
e
\.
e
X.
The parties agree that this Agreement complies with existing laws
pertaining to the subject and that all terms, considerations and
conditions set forth herein are lawful, reasonable, appropriate,
and not unduly restrictive of Company's business activities.
without such agreement neither party hereto would enter into this
Agreement. In the event anyone or more words, phrases, clauses,
sentences, paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of this
Agreement or the application thereof to any person, firm,
corporation or circumstances shall be held by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional for any
reason, then the application, invalidity or unconstitutionality of
such words, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article
or other part of .the Agreement shall be deemed to be independent
of and separable from the remainder of this Agreement and the
validity of the remaining parts of this Agreement shall not be
affected thereby.
XI.
Upon the commencement of the term of this Agreement, all other
previously existing industrial district agreements with respect to
said Land shall terminate.
ENTERED INTO effective the 1st day of January, 1994.

Gentlemen:
I received this morning, signed industrial district agreements from
Quantum Chemical Corporation and its subsidiary, Battleground Water
Company, our account numbers 93-IDA-07 and 93-IDA-34.
Attached to the contracts was a short note from Mr. Richard Dolfi,
Property Tax Manager of Quantum, as follows:
"We have signed the Quantum and Battleground agreements,
however, we still need some time to prepare and submit
the tax map and descriptions. Rich Dolfi"
I will place these matters on the Council agenda as soon as we
receive the map and descriptions.
The only other industrial district agreement outstanding is witco

Dear Mr. Malone:
I am writing you today to share very positive news from Lyondell. Because of our operations in the
LaPorte Area, I wanted to personally make you aware of this and provide a copy of information that
we are releasing today to the news media.
Lyondell Petrochemical Company and Millennium Chemicals Inc. have reached an agreement to form
a new company comprised of the olefins and polymers businesses of the two organizations. The new
company will be based in Houston and will combine Lyondell facilities located in Channelview,
Pasadena (Bayport), Matagorda County and Victoria, with Millennium facilities in LaPorte, Port
Arthur, Chocolate Bayou and in the Midwest.
We will be creating a strong financial entity, with expected annual revenues of approximately $5
billion. Our principal products will include ethylene, propylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethyl
alcohol and associated products. This new company is expected to be the largest producer of ethylene
and polyethylene in North America.
The partnership will be owned 57 percent by Lyondell and 43 percent by Millennium. I will serve as
Chief Executive Offi.cer for the new company, while continuing in my present capacity as CEO of
Lyondell,which will retain its corporate offices in Houston, as well. We will continue to own,
independent of our interest in the new partnership, our interest in Lyondell-Citgo Refining Company
Ltd. in Houston, a successful venture company between Lyondell and Citgo Petroleum Corp.
We are excited about the potential that this venture holds for Lyondell, this new entity, our employees
and the communities in which we operate. By blending these assets, employees and operating
capabilities, we are creating a major new worldclass chemical company whose performance, we
expect, will be differential in the industry.
Sincerely,

The Venture Creates Value Through Cost Reductions,
Operating Efficiency Improvements and Broader Product Mix
"We will create a new world-class chemical company, with enhanced asset
utilization and a leading cost position across a broad line of products, by blending assets,
employees and operating capabilities from Millennium and Lyondell," said Dan F. Smith.
"The extraordinary fit of these businesses will provide higher earnings power and create
unique value that we expect will be differential in the industry."
"The venture will have one of the broadest product lines in the industry, with
extensive product development and research capabilities and the best employees from each
organization, enabling it to better seIVe customers in rapidly growing markets," said
William M. Landuyt.
The partnership is expected to generate more than $150 million in annual pre-tax
profit improvement. Substantial savings are expected to be realized early, with the full
$150 million annual savings achieved by the end of 1999.
. Cost improvements will be achieved in such areas as eliminating duplicate overhead
and staffing, improved purchasing capabilities, and better utilization of existing
logistics and distribution channels.
. Efficiency improvements will include such items as greater use of feedstock flexibility,
expanding the upgrade of co-products internally, sharing best business practices, and
optimizing production scheduling of polymer plants.
. Customers will benefit from the greater supply flexibility gained through multiple
olefins production sites and polymers customers will have access to significantly
broader resin product lines.
"This transaction is a major step in the execution ofLyondell's strategy to reduce
cyclicality and grow the petrochemicals business through greater integratiun and a broader
downstream product mix. It also advances our low cost strategy by compounding the
benefits of recent cost reduction efforts and building a base for future improvements.
Increased cash flow generated by this venture, as well as our interest in L YONDELL-

LYONDELL-MILLENNIUM PARTNERSHIP - Page 3
CITGO Refining Co. Ltd., will provide Lyondell with a greater number of options to
create shareholder value than ever before in our history," said Smith.
Landuyt said, "This combination helps fulfill Millennium's strategy to maximize
value creation in our polyethylene and related businesses by driving down costs and by
partnering with an organization that shares our relentless focus on optimizing synergistic
opportunities. The transaction also enhances Millennium's financial flexibility to pursue
expansion of our specialties and intermediates businesses, thereby reducing the volatility of
Millennium's overall business portfolio."
Closing Expected this Year
The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors
of both companies, is expected to close by year end, following approval by both
companies' stockholders, and satisfaction of certain other conditions.

DESCRIPTION
Polyetheline Unit (Including Reactor Vent and Three _Uy.. ....uu.",
NSTRUCTION
ROPOSED Relief Vent Stacks) 254 277
An aeronautical study of the proposed construction described above has been completed under the provisions of Part 77 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations. Based on the study it is found that the construction would have no substantial adverse effect on the safe and efficient utilization of
the navigable airspace by aircraft or on the operation of air navigation facilities. Therefore, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, it is hereby
determined that the construction would not be a hazard to air navigation providing the following conditions are met:
Conditions: The structure should be lighted in accordance with Chapters 4, 6, and 13,
in FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1H, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, which is available free
of charge from the Department of Transportation, Subsequent Distribution Unit, M-494.3,
400 7th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590
Supplemental notice of construction is required any time the project is abandoned (use enclosed FAA form, or
t81 At least 48 hours before the start of construction (use the enclosed FAA form)
t81 Within five days after the construction reaches its greatest height (use the enclosed FAA Form)
This determination expires on December 12. 1997 unless:
(a) extended, revised or terminated by the issuing office.
(b) the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission and an application for a
construction permit is made to the FCC on or before the above expiration date. In such case the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion or construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.
NOTE: Request for extension of the effective period of this determination must be postmarked or delivered to the issuing office at least 15 days
prior to the expiration date.
This determination is subject to reviow if an interested party files a petition on or before June 2, 1996. In the
event a petition for review is filed, it should be submitted in triplicate to the Manager, Flight Information and Obstructions Branch, AA T -21 0,
Federal Aviation Administration, Washington, D.C. 2l'i91, and contain a full statement of the basis upon which it is made.
This determination becomes Iinal on June 12. 1996 unless a petition for review is timely filed, in which case
the determination will not become final pending disposition of the petition. Interested parties will be notified of the grant of any review.
An account of the study findings, aeronautical objections, if any, registered with the FAA during the study, and the basis for the FAA's decision in
this matter wm be found em the following page(s).
If the structure is subject to the licensing authority of the FCC, a copy of this determination will be sent to that Agency.
This determination, issued in accordance with FAR Part 77, concerns the effect of this proposal on the safe and efficient use ofthe navigable
airspace by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of any compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or regulation of any
Federal, stat~, or local gover9m~ body.

AERONAUTICAL STUDY NUMBER 96-ASW-0550-0E
The proposed construction would be located approximately 2.49 nautical miles (NM)
north of the La Porte Municipal Airport, La Porte, Texas. It would exceed the
obstruction standards of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 77 as follows:
o Section 77.23(a)(2) by 53 feet - a height that exceeds 200 feet above airport elevation
within 3 NM as applied to the La Porte Municipal Airport.
The proposal was circularized to all known interested persons for aeronautical comment
by letter dated March 25, 1996. No letters of objection were received as a result of the
circularization.
Aeronautical study disclosed that the proposed structure would have no effect on any
existing or proposed arrival, departure, or en route instrument flight rules, operations,
procedures, or minimum flight altitudes.
Study for possible visual flight rules (VFR) effect disclosed that the proposed structure
would have no effect on any existing or proposed arrival or departure VfR operations or
procedures. It would not conflict with airspace required to conduct normal VFR traffic
pattern operations at any known public use or military airports. In addition, the proposed
structure would not penetrate those altitudes normally considered available to airmen for
VFR en route flight.
The cumulative impact of the proposed structure, when combined with other existing
structures, is not considered significant. Study did not disclose any adverse effect on
existing or proposed public-use or military airports or navigational facilities. Nor would
the proposal affect the capacity of any known existing or planned public-use or military
airport.
Therefore, it is determined that the proposed construction would not have a substantial
adverse effect on the safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or
on any air navigation facility and would not be a hazard to air navigation.
The proposed structure will be appropriately obstruction lighted to make it more
conspicuous to airmen should circunmavigation be necessary.
This determination does not include temporary construction equipment such as cranes,
derricks, etc., which may be used during the actual construction phase of this proposal.
Such equipment which has a height greater than the proposed structure requires separate
notice.

Gentlemen:
I received this morning, signed industrial district agreements from
Quantum Chemical Corporation and its subsidiary, Battleground Water
Company, our account numbers 93-lDA-O? and 93-lDA-34.
Attached to the contracts was a short note from Mr. Richard Dolfi,
Property Tax Manager of Quantum, as follows:
"We have signed the Quantum and Battleground agreements,
however, we still need some time to prepare and submit
the tax map and descriptions. Rich Dolfi"
I will place these matters on the Council agenda as soon as we
receive the map and descriptions.
The only other industrial district agreement outstanding is witco
Chemical Company, which is outstanding for the same reasons, they
are still assembling their map and legal descriptions. They have
signed their agreement.
