OR1. *PUBLIC HEARING* AN ORDINANCE CREATING NEW REINVESTMENT ZONE NO. 2017-01 IN THE CITY OF CLEBURNE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROPOSED EXPANSION OF JOHNS MANVILLE, INC, A BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY COMPANY, LOCATED AT 200 W INDUSTRIAL BLVD. Person presenting this item: Grady Easdon, Economic Development Manager BRIEF: Johns Manville Company has submitted an application for a tax abatement on their planned facility expansion at 200 West Industrial Blvd., in Cleburne, Texas. In order for the city to consider such abatement request, a Reinvestment Zone or Enterprise Zone must exist or a zone must be created. Currently no Reinvestment or Enterprise Zone exists at this location, therefore creating the need for the city to establish this new Reinvestment Zone. A Notice of Public Hearing was published and posted, as well a notification letter sent to the other local taxing entities. The State Tax Code allows cities and counties to establish these Reinvestment Zones using these procedures. The City must also have an approved policy and criteria allowing tax abatements. Cleburne's tax abatement Guidelines and Criteria was approved by the City Council by Resolution RS07-2015-57 on July 14, 2015. Competing cities have reinvestment zones and tax abatement policies which means in order for Cleburne to compete and attract new investments and jobs it must have similar policies and tools to offer. Abatement requests are typically accompanied by significant capital investment and the addition of new jobs with associated payrolls. OR2. AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TAX ABATEMENT TO JOHNS MANVILLE, INC LOCATED AT 200 W INDUSTRIAL BLVD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY’S GUIDELINES APPROVED BY RS07-2015-57 ON JULY 14, 2015. Person presenting this item: Grady Easdon, Economic Development Manager BRIEF: Johns Manville Company submitted an application for a tax abatement on their proposed Cleburne manufacturing facility expansion on January 3, 2017. The project is estimated to require approximately $82,600,000 in new capital investment and create 39 new, permanent jobs while increasing the annual payroll by $3,311,000. Additional jobs will also be created during the 12 to 18 months’ construction period. An economic impact analysis has been prepared for the project and the effect of the expansion is projected to be beneficial to Cleburne citizens, the city tax base, as well as other local taxing entities. According to the current approved 2015 Guidelines and Criteria, this project would qualify for a 75% abatement for (10) ten years. A performance agreement will be required, subject to the Council approving this tax abatement request. Johns Manville originally located in Cleburne with its fiberglass and insulating products manufacturing lines in 1964 and has expanded several times during this 53-year period. It has consistently employed between 350 and 400 employees offering a better than average benefit package. The company considered other Johns Manville plant locations in its system before deciding that Cleburne would be a great fit for its new products (blowing wool or loose fill insulation) and added capacity. Johns Manville has submitted the data necessary for preparation of an economic impact analysis which shows the positive economic benefits to the City of Cleburne and others taxing entities and businesses. It appears that this request or application for tax abatement meets all the guidelines and criteria and would result in an economic benefit to the community. Approximately 39 permanent new jobs, excluding the numerous jobs created during the construction period, will be created with an estimated added annual payroll of $3,311,000, along with new capital investment of approximately $82,600,000. A breakdown of the proposed new investment will be outlined in the performance agreement as one of the Exhibits. These estimates include engineering, design, labor, process equipment, fixtures and contracted services. Such abatement requests require that cities often have to abate some of the initial tax revenue in order to attract these new projects that add to the property tax base and increased general tax revenues, while it will add some demand on city utilities and services. City staff has reviewed the impact to our water and waste water capacities and deemed that the impact of this new expansion will not adversely affect our current and near term service delivery.
