W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, it is the established policy of the City Council of

WHEREAS, City desires to encourage the expansion and growth

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:
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, 1) 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, 2) intermodal shipping containers (including but not
limited to freight and tank containers) placed on Land belonging
to Company shall be permitted to be stacked only two containers in
height within the 100' wide portion of Company's Land contiguous
to either Fairmont Parkway, State Highway 225, or State Highway
146; beyond said 100' wide strip, intermodal shipping containers
shall be eligible to be stacked one additional container in height
within and for each successive 100' wide portion of Company's Land
behind and following the preceding 100' wide strip, up to a
maximum of six containers in height, regardless of distance from
Fairmont Parkway, State Highway 225, or State Highway 146; and 3)
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
E
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.
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.
A. The properties upon which the "in lieu of" taxes are assessed
are more fully described in subsections 1, 2, and 3 of subsection
C, 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. Property included in this Agreement shall not be
entitled to an agricultural use exemption for purposes of
computing "in lieu of taxes" hereunder.
B. On or before the later of December 31, 2020, or 30 days from
mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each December
31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2031, Company
shall pay to City an amount of "in lieu of taxes" on Company's
Property as of January 1st of the current calendar year ("Value
Year").
C. Company and City agree that the following percentages
("Percentage Amount") shall apply during each of the Value Years:

Company agrees to pay to City an amount of "in lieu of
taxes" on Company's land, improvements and tangible
3
personal property in the unannexed area equal to the sum
of:
1. Percentage Amount 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, 2020,
and each January 1 thereafter of the applicable Value
Year during the term of this Agreement, (excluding
amounts which would be so payable with respect to any
Substantial Increase in value of such Land and
improvements to which subparagraph 2, below applies),
had been within the corporate limits of City and
appraised 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, 2019, 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%), where construction is
completed in Value Years 2020 through 2031, 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. The eligible period for
application of said thirty percent (30%) "in lieu"
rate shall be for a total of six (6) Value Years.
In the case of new construction which is completed
in Value Year 2028 or later, and provided,
further, that City and Company enter into an
Industrial District Agreement after the expiration
of this Industrial District Agreement, then, and
in such events, such new construction shall be
entitled to additional Value Years under the new
Agreement at a Thirty percent (30%) valuation
under this subparagraph (a), for a total of six
(6) Value Years, but not extending beyond Value
Year 2034.
In the case of new construction which was
completed in Value Years 2016 through 2019 in
accordance with the previous Industrial District
Agreement between City and Company, such new
construction shall be subject to a Twenty percent
20o)valuation through Value Year 2022, and a
Thirty (300) valuation for any additional Value
Years beyond Value Year 2022, for a total of six
4
(6) Value Years.
(b) Application of the thirty percent (30%) "in lieu"
rate for Substantial Increase in value of the
Land, improvements, and tangible personal property
dedicated to new construction is limited to new
construction purposed for or related to
manufacturing and processing uses. In no case
shall Company be entitled to application of the
thirty percent (300) "in lieu" rate for
Substantial Increase in value of the Land,
improvements, and tangible personal property
dedicated to new construction where the new
construction is purposed for or related to uses
for warehousing, storage, distribution, and/or
general freight trucking and transportation, as
well as general commercial uses, such as truck
stops, rental facilities, or repair shops.
(c) 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 (50) of the total
appraised value of Land and improvements, on
January 1, 2019; 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.
(d) If existing Property values have depreciated below
the Property value established on January 1, 2019,
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, 2019, value; and
3. Percentage Amount 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,
located in an industrial district of City, including,
without limitation, inventory, (including inventory in
a federal Foreign Trade Zone and including Freeport
exempted 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,
2020, and each January 1 thereafter of the applicable
Value Year during the term of this Agreement,
(excluding amounts which would be so payable with
respect to any Substantial Increase in value of such
0
tangible personal property to which subparagraph 2,
above applies), had been within the corporate limits of
City and appraised each year by the City's independent
appraiser, in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Texas Property Tax Code.
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.
4. Notwithstanding the above, should City elect to grant
the freeport inventory exemption authorized by Article
VIII, Section 1-j of the Texas Constitution and Section
11.251 of the Texas Property Tax Code to taxpayers
within the City limits, then the freeport inventory
exemption shall apply to parties to this Agreement.
Further, should inventory or any other class or type of
property become exempt from taxation by constitutional
amendment or act of the Texas Legislature (including,
but not limited to, Article VIII, Section 1-n, of the
Texas Constitution and Section 11.253 of the Texas
Property Tax Code), such class or type of property
shall be exempt for purposes of this Agreement, unless
the City Council of the City of La Porte shall by
Ordinance provide for the continued taxation of such
property under the authority of any applicable
provisions of the Texas Constitution and Texas
Statutes.
5. City and Company acknowledge circumstances might
require the City to provide emergency services to
Company's Property described on Exhibit "A" attached
hereto. Emergency services are limited to fire,
police, and public works emergency services. If
Company is not a member of Channel Industries Mutual
Aid Association (CIMA), Company agrees to reimburse
City for its costs arising out of any emergency
response requested by Company to Company's property,
and to which City agrees to respond. If Company is a
member of CIMA, the obligations of Company and City
shall be governed by the CIMA agreement, to which
agreement City is a party.
IV.
This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 13t day
of January, 2020, and continuing thereafter until December 31,
2031, 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, 2031, 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
R
provisions of this Agreement.
Company agrees that if the Texas Local Government Code Section
Chapter 42.044 "Creation of Industrial District in
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction", or Texas Local Government Code
Chapter 43 "Municipal Annexation", is amended, 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 laws as the same existed on January 1, 2019.
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, and except as otherwise
provided in Article VI(B), Company agrees to pay to City on or
before the date therefore 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, or City shall make payment to Company of any refund
due, as the case may be, 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) calendar days of receiving City's invoice, give
written notice to the City of such disagreement. In the event
7
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 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
written valuation-& statement 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 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, subject only to
judicial review as may be available under the Texas
General Arbitration 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
C
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
City 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.
M
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 any one 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
.01
said Land shall terminate.
XII.

Dear Mr. Evans,
Per our recent conversations, the City of La Porte will extend the new value discount to projects
that began in 2014. The goal has been and continues to be that projects receive the full benefit of
6 years at the lower, new value rate (ie 20%). The 6 year phase -in will be honored for
companies entering into currently proposed industrial district agreements with the City of La
Porte.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns.
