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

and said Land being more particularly shown on a plat attached as

WHEREAS, City desires to encourage the expansion and growth of

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:
FINAL DRAFT: February 24, 2000
'.
..'
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,
any portion of Land constituting a strip of land 100' wide and
contiguous to either Fairmont Parkway, state Highway 225, or State
Highway 146, shall be subject to the rules and regulations attached
hereto as Exhibit "c" and made a part hereof; and 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 unannexed 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.
2
.
.
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
property in the annexed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes.
III.
A. On or before April 15, 2001, 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, 2007,
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");
provided, however, pollution control equipment installed on the
Land which is exempt from ad valorem taxation pursuant to the
provisions of Sec. 11.31 of the Texas Property Tax Code is exempt
from ad valorem taxation and "in lieu of taxes" hereunder. 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, 2001, or 30 days from
mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each December
31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2007, 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. 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, 2001, and each January 1 thereafter of the applicable
Value Year during the term of this Agreement, (excluding
amounts payable pursuant to subparagraph 2, below), had
been within the corporate limits of City and appraised
3
0.'
e
.
each year by City's independent appraiser, in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax
Code; 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, 2000, 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 would 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, in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code.
(b) A Substantial Increase in value of the Land,
improvements, and tangible personal property
(excluding inventory) 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, 2000; 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 Property value established on January 1, 2000,
an amount equal to the amount of the depreciation
will be removed from the calculation under this
subparagraph 2 to restore the value to the January
1, 2000, value; and
3. Fifty-three percent (53%) of the amount of ad valorem
taxes which would be payable to ci ty on all of the
Company's tangible personal property of every
description, located in an industrial district of City,
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, 2001, and each January 1 thereafter of the
applicab~e Value Year during the term of this Agreement,
had been within the corporate limits of City and
appraised each year by the City's independent appraiser,
4
.
.
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas
Property Tax Code.
wi th 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, 2001, and continuing thereafter unti I December 31,
2007, unless extended for an additional period or periods of time
upon mutual consent of Company and ci ty 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, 2007, 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
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 un annexed portions of company's hereinabove described
property which would be due to ci ty in accordance wi th the
5
..'
e
.
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 value 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 submi t the dispute to final arbi tration 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
of the difference between the parties as to the fair
market value of Company's property for calculation of the
"in lied" 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
6
.
.
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 Arbi tration Act (Chapter 171, "General
Arbitration", Texas civil Practice and Remedies Code).
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,
affiliates 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.
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 agre~ment 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,
7
. ."
.
.
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, 2001.

Attn: William Hasche
P.O. Box 568
Texas City, Texas 77592-0568
Dear Mr. Hasche:
Enclosed is a fully executed duplicate original of the Industrial District Agreement
between your firm and the City of La Porte, effective January 1,2001, for the term
expiring December 31,2007. I also enclose a certified copy of the City's approval
ordinance, for your records.
As part of the document preparation, the City examined Exhibits "A" and "B" furnished
by your firm. While reviewing the documents, we fOWld that:
Exhibit "B" does not clearly indicate properties described in Exhibit "A" and is
difficult to interpret. Exhibit "B" should reflect metes and bounds descriptions as
per Exhibit" A" .
We feel that these exhibits will assist in monitoring the faithful performance of the
Industrial District Agreements as well as aiding long-range planning activities.
If you do not have this information, cannot readily develop it, or need to discuss this
request, please contact John Joerns, Assistant City Manager.
Thank you for your assistance in completing these documents.'
Respectfully,
CJ<~ ~ ~
