WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3735.67(A) and in conformance with the format
required under Section 3735.671(B) of the Ohio Revised Code, the parties hereto desire to set
forth their agreement with respect to matters hereinafter contained;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained
and the benefit to be derived by the parties from the execution hereof, the parties herein agree as
follows:
1.
Company shall construct a warehouse / office complex on Industrial Parkway (the
“Facility”) in the City of North Olmsted. The Facility shall be constructed at 31330
Industrial Parkway, North Olmsted, Ohio 44070 on Parcel Number(s) 234-11-139 and
234-11-141 as the same is known and designated on the Auditor’s revised list of lots in
the City of North Olmsted, Ohio. The parties acknowledge that these lots will be
consolidated as part of the Project and that this Agreement will not be affected by the
consolidation.
The PROJECT will involve a total investment of Eight Million Nine Hundred Thirty-
Eight Thousand Dollars ($8,938,000.00, plus or minus 10%), at 31330 Industrial
Parkway, North Olmsted, Ohio 44070. Included in this investment are Six Million
Dollars ($6,000,000.00) for construction of the facility, Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000.00) for infrastructure improvements, Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($350,000.00) in Machinery and Equipment, One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars
($150,000.00) in Furniture and Fixtures and Four Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand
Dollars ($438,000.00) in land acquisition.
The PROJECT will begin on or about October 31, 2022 and all acquisition, construction
and installation will be completed by December 31, 2024.
Company shall cause to be created through agreements within a time period not
exceeding thirty-six (36) months after the commencement of construction of the aforesaid
facility, equivalent of One Hundred (100) new full-time permanent job opportunities at
the Facility at 31330 Industrial Parkway, North Olmsted, Ohio 44070.
Company’s or the facility operator’s schedule for hiring is as follows: create twenty-five
(25) new equivalent full-time permanent jobs in year one; twenty-five (25) new
equivalent full-time permanent jobs in year two and fifty (50) new equivalent full-time
permanent jobs in year three. The job creation period begins on or about January 1, 2024
and all jobs will be in place by December 31, 2026.
This increase in the number of employees will result in approximately Two Million Eight
Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($2,880,000.00) in payroll generated from One
Hundred (100) full-time permanent jobs.
Company acknowledges and agrees that in calculating annual payroll for purposes of
compliance with this Agreement, any person holding a job created at the Facility (and
whose anticipated job is included in the jobs calculation / projection set forth herein) who
2
is required or elects to pay a local income tax to a municipal taxing entity other than the
City of North Olmsted as a result of any work performed (payroll earned) by that
employee outside of the City of North Olmsted and who in fact pays said tax to another
municipal taxing district, shall not have that taxable portion of said employee’s payroll
earned outside the City of North Olmsted and taxed elsewhere included in the annual
payroll requirements set forth herein.
Company in its Application attached hereto has described this project as “two buildings
for the leasing of space.” Company expressly acknowledges that the jobs requirements as
set forth herein at paragraph two (2) shall arise by and through other individuals or
entities with whom Company has entered into a lease agreement. Accordingly, Company
during the term of this Agreement agrees that not later than ten (10) days after execution
of any lease for space constructed by virtue of the Project located at Parcel Number(s)
234-11-139 and 234-11-141, it shall provide to the City of North Olmsted, a
Memorandum of Lease.
Company shall provide to the proper Tax Incentive Review Council or the Mayor or her
designee any information reasonably required by the council to evaluate the property
owner's compliance with the Agreement, including returns filed pursuant to section
5711.02 of the Ohio Revised Code if requested by the council. This is company’s sole,
unassignable responsibility and shall not be the responsibility of Company’s tenants at
the Project / Facility.
In addition to all other requirements at law or in this Agreement, for the purpose of
investigating Company’s compliance with this Agreement, Company shall file an annual
report with the City no later than March 30" of each year (“Annual Report”). The
Company will file Annual Reports each year through the final year in which it receives a
tax exemption under this Agreement. The Annual Report shall state, at a minimum, (1)
the number of total full time permanent jobs as of January 1*' in the previous year at the
Project / Facility Site; (2) the number of total full time permanent jobs as of December
31“ in the previous year at the Project / Facility Site; (3) the total payroll for all full time
permanent jobs as of January 1“ in the previous year at the Project / Facility Site; and (4)
the total payroll for all full time permanent jobs as of December 31* in the previous year
at the Project / Facility Site. If requested, Company agrees to provide supporting
materials to substantiate its representations.
Because the creation of payroll and jobs at the Project and Facility as required by this
Agreement are dependent not upon Company, but upon yet-to-be determined tenants,
Company shall include the following language (or substantially similar language) in its
lease agreements for any space leased at the Project / Facility Site (Parcel Number(s)
234-11-139 and 234-11-141): Upon Landlord’s / Lessor’s request, Tenant / Lessee shall
provide Landlord / Lessor with information and documentation pertaining to the number
of Tenant's / Lessee’s employees, employee payroll amounts, retention information and
any other information reasonably requested by Landlord / Lessor involving Tenant’s job
creation, retention and payroll associated with its use and occupancy of the Premises.
The City of North Olmsted hereby grants Company a tax exemption for real property
improvements made to the PROJECT site pursuant to Section 3735.67 of the Ohio
Revised Code and shall be in the following amounts:
The identified PROJECT improvement will receive a fifteen (15) year
exemption period as pertaining only to the exemption provided on the
Facility. The exemption will be in the amount of one hundred percent
(100%) of the tax on the Project for years one (1) through ten (10) and
the seventy-five percent (75%) for years eleven (11) through fifteen (15).
The exemption commences the first year for which the real property
would first be taxable were that property not exempted from taxation. No
exemption shall commence after December 31, 2024 or beyond
December 31, 2039.
Company must file the appropriate tax forms with the County Auditor to effect and
maintain the exemptions covered in the Agreement. Company agrees that it alone has the
sole responsibility for filing required forms. Neither the City nor agent or employee
thereof shall have any responsibility for taking any actions other than those expressly set
forth herein to effect or maintain such exemption.
Company shall pay an annual fee equal to the greater of one percent (1%) of the dollar
value of incentives offered under the Agreement or Five Hundred Dollars ($500):
provided, however, that if the value of the incentives exceeds Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), the fee shall not exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars ($2,500.00).
The fee shall be made payable to the City of North Olmsted once per year for each year
the Agreement is effective no later than March 1“. This fee shall be deposited in a special
fund created for such purpose and shall be used exclusively for the purpose of complying
with section 3735.671(D) of the revised code and by the Tax Incentive Review Council
created under section 3735.671(D) of the revised code exclusively for the purposes of
performing the duties prescribed under that section.
Company shall pay such real and tangible personal property taxes as are not exempted
under this Agreement and are charged against such property and shall file all tax reports
and returns as required by law. If Company fails to pay such taxes or file such returns and
reports, all incentives granted under this Agreement are rescinded beginning with the
year for which such taxes are charged or such reports or returns are required to be filed
and thereafter.
The City of North Olmsted shall perform such acts as are reasonably necessary or
appropriate to effect, claim, reserve, and maintain exemptions from taxation granted
under this Agreement including, without limitation, joining in the execution of all
documentation and providing any necessary certificates required in connection with such
exemptions.
Company agrees the City shall have no monetary liability for any damages caused or
incurred by Company for any failure of the City to perform its obligations under section
seven (7) or any other provisions of this Agreement.
