CITY CLERK File # Q~^~^-0^ AGENDA STATEMENT CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 5, 2009 SUBJECT: Sales Tax Reimbursement Program Agreement with Ring Properties Report Prepared by: Linda Maurer, Assistant to the City Manager ATTACHMENTS: RECOMMENDATION: ~~`"~ s ., ,, FINANCIAL STATEMENT: 1. Resolution 09-09 dated January 6, 2009 Adopting a Sales Tax Reimbursement Program 2. Resolution with Proposed Agreement attached as Exhibit A That the City Council adopt the proposed Resolution Approving an Agreement for Reimbursement of Sales and Use Tax Revenue with Ring Properties Relating to Improvements to be performed on a property located at 11501 Dublin Boulevard The proposed agreement would be revenue positive to the City. DESCRIPTION: At the December 2, 2008 City Council Meeting, the City Council discussed the creation of an Economic Incentive program for Fiscal Year 2008-09. During the discussion, Mayor Sbranti outlined a number of ideas including: Fee Deferral Program, Priority Permit Processing, Tenant Improvement (Loans/Grants), Low Interest Loans and Tax Sharing Agreements. At the January 6, 2009 City Council meeting, the City Council approved the Sales Tax Reimbursement Program as the first element of the Economic Incentive Program (see Attachment 1). The current worldwide economic slowdown has impacted the City of Dublin's revenues, and in an attempt to attract new businesses that will provide additional jobs and generate additional tax revenues for the City, the City Council adopted the Sales Tax Reimbursement Program. The Program establishes certain conditions under which the City may agree to enter into an agreement to reimburse property owners and businesses for the costs they incur in making certain interior and exterior building improvements, as well as site improvements provided that certain conditions are met. Staff was approached by commercial property owner Kevin Ring, of Ring Properties, in late 2008 prior to the formal adoption of the Sales Tax Reimbursement Program. Mr. Ring was seeking assistance to attract a new tenant - Graybar Electric, Inc. - to his property at 11501 Dublin Boulevard. Staff informed Mr. Ring of the City's intent to bring forward a Sales Tax Reimbursement Program for approval to the City COPY TO: Page 1 of 3 ~ e ITEM NO. _ G:U.inda Maurer\Sales Tax Reimbursement Program 2009\FINAL Documents\Ring Properties Reimbursement Agreement Staff Report 4-24-09.DOC Q Council. Mr. Ring, upon adoption of the formal Program by the City Council in January, requested to participate. Over the past several months, Staff has worked closely with Kevin Ring in good faith to bring forward an agreement to the City Council for consideration. Agreement Overview The proposed Agreement between the City of Dublin and Ring Properties is to accommodate the improvement needs for a new tenant, Graybar Electric, Inc., a Fortune 500 company that specializes in supply chain management services and the distribution of high-quality components, equipment and materials for the electrical and telecommunications industries. Mr. Ring has entered into a 10-year lease with Graybar Electric, Inc. to occupy approximately 21,000 square feet at 11501 Dublin Boulevard. Graybar will have more than 50 employees working at the new Dublin location. The lease agreement between Mr. Ring and Graybar includes a tenant improvement allowance of $300,000 to Graybar to offset the cost of tenant improvements they will be making in order to occupy the facility. In addition to the tenant improvement allowance, Mr. Ring anticipates the need for other interior, exterior, site and right-of--way improvements to accommodate Graybar as the tenant. These improvements may happen at once, or be separated into two phases, as outlined in the Agreement. Ring Properties has provided a summary of these proposed improvements and related costs as an exhibit to the Sales Tax Reimbursement Agreement. The total cost of these improvements, including the tenant improvement allowance, is estimated at $632,500. This amount will be the maximum contribution by the City allowed under this Agreement and subject to the criteria outlined in the Sales Tax Reimbursement Program. Because a portion of these improvements may involve the use of the City's right-of--way as identified in the exhibit to the Agreement, the City Council would need to authorize those improvements as a separate action at a later date once plans for such improvements have been finalized. Additionally, if the City's right-of--way is used and those improvements are made, Ring Properties agrees, in Section 2.14, that such improvements will be considered "public works" as defined in Section 1720 of the California Labor Code and Ring Properties will ensure that all work in the public right-of--way is performed in compliance with all prevailing wage requirements in Section 1720 of the California Labor Code. The proposed Agreement would provide Ring Properties with fifty (50) percent of the new sales taxes generated by Graybar for a period of five (5) years or, if the improvements are performed in two phases as described above, for a five (5) year period for each phase. However, no payments will be made if Graybar does not generate at least one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) of new sales tax revenue each of those years. The Agreement, as proposed, meets the criteria established in the Sales Tax Reimbursement Program. First, Graybar does not currently have office space in Dublin. Second, the property owner is proposing to make interior and exterior improvements to an existing Dublin office building. Third, Graybar has furnished documentation establishing the ability to generate at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000) in annual taxable sales transactions from this location, resulting in at least one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) of new sales tax revenue to the City annually. In addition to meeting the Program criteria, there are other financial benefits to the City. First, the City will be receiving, even after the sales tax reimbursement, a new, ongoing source of sales tax revenue that is likely to persist beyond the time-frame of the proposed agreement. Additionally, the improvements to the property will result in a reassessment of the property's value, increasing the City's property tax revenue. Z~ The California Constitution prohibits the Legislature from making a gift of public funds. However, where public funds are used for a public purpose, such an expenditure is constitutionally permissible, even if a private person benefits. The Sales Tax Reimbursement Program was designed to ensure that the sales tax reimbursement agreements will be for the public benefit, thus ensuring that the reimbursement of tax proceeds does not constitute a gift. In addition to the tax benefits to the City and its residents, this agreement will also result in improvements to the facade of the property, this enhancing the appearance and character of the neighborhood, to the benefit of City residents. Finally, the new business may generate new jobs for City residents, and Graybar employees are likely to spend money at other business establishments in the City, thus generating additional sales tax revenue for the City. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Resolution approving an Agreement for Reimbursement of Sales and Use Tax Revenue with Ring Properties relating to improvements to be performed on a property located at 11501 Dublin Boulevard. ~~ RESOLUTION NO. 9- 09 ~~ ~~} A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN APPROVING THE SALES TAX REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM WHEREAS, the current worldwide economic slowdown has impacted the City of Dublin's revenues; and WHEREAS, for decades, state and local government have used Economic development incentives to attract or retain jobs and/or improve a local tax base; and WHEREAS, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has recommended that any proposed incentive program has specific goals and criteria that serve to define the economic benefit to both the government and the entities receiving the incentives expect to gain from the incentives, the conditions under which the incentives are to be granted, and the actions to be taken should the actual benefits differ from the planned benefits; and WHEREAS, in an attempt to attract new businesses that will provide additional jobs and generate additional tax revenues for the City, Staff is requesting City Council consideration of a program to stimulate reinvestment in the community through a Sales Tax Reimbursement Program; and WHEREAS, the objective of the proposed Sales Tax Reimbursement program would be to: (1) improve the aesthetic nature and physical appearance of existing buildings and promote site improvements to commercial properties in the existing commerciaUoffice/industrial areas of Dublin and (2) tazget existing buildings throughout the community with the goal of improving the existing building stock and also lowering long-term vacancy rates in the community; and WHEREAS, the program would use the concept of reimbursement through sales tax revenues to assist and encourage property owners/tenants to reinvest in, reconstruct, rehabilitate and renovate their properties; and WHEREAS, the proposed program would allow property owners and/or tenants, through a written agreement with the City, to recover over time a portion of the cost of improvements (internal and external) made to the property. The reimbursement would be limited to the actual costs incurred by the owner/tenant for improvements to structures and the property site. Eligible costs would include exterior improvements (painting, facade repair, replacement signage), interior improvements (tenant improvements), and site improvements (parking lots, driveways, landscaping, etc.). Reimbursement for demolition of existing buildings and replacement with new buildings may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Land acquisition costs would be excluded from eligible expenses; and WHEREAS, the program would be made available to businesses that would generate over $100,000 in new sales tax each year (this requires annual taxable sales of $10 million). Businesses would need to certify, by providing copies of sales tax returns to the State Board of Equalization (SBOE) that based on previous operations that this threshold has been met; and WHEREAS, the program would be made available to new, not existing businesses. An exception would be considered on a case-by-case basis for existing Dublin businesses that might relocate/expand within Page 1 oft ~_~_~c1 ~.02 ATTACHMENT 1 z~i ~- the City, if their move /expansion results in additional sales tax revenues that would meet the target ($100,000 or more) established for the program; and WHEREAS, the program would require that all improvements considered under this program must be approved by the City and subject to all laws and regulations; and WHEREAS, the program would calculate and distribute the reimbursement as follows: 1. The amount of eligible improvements will be established and certified with documentation of the expenses. 2. Once retail sales begin to be paid based on reported sales transactions at a location within the City of Dublin, no more than fifty percent (50%) of the net new sales tax would be calculated and considered as the amount of reimbursement subject to the following limitations: a. The cumulative maximum reimbursements paid to the business cannot exceed the total established in number 1 above. b. Reimbursements would be made on an annual basis. c. Reimbursements would continue until the full amount in number 1 above was reimbursed or for a period five (5) years, whichever occurs first. WHERAS, the program would require that all Sales Tax Reimbursement agreements be negotiated by Staff and approved by the City Council. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby approve the Sales Tax Reimbursement Program for a period of two (2} years. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin will revisit the program at the end of the two-year period and determine if the program should be continued based upon the economic conditions at that time.

Each time Owner submits evidence of payment pursuant to Section 2.6, or reports a payment to Tenant pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Agreement, the Eligible Compensation Amount shall be adjusted to reflect the amounts paid by Owner. In the event Owner elects to construct the Improvements in phases pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement, there shall be two separate Eligible Compensation Amounts, one for the first phase, and one for the second phase. All payments to Tenant reported pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be added to the Eligible Compensation Amount for the first phase. 2.10 In the event that Owner performs improvements to interior spaces of the Property in addition to the Interior Improvements, as defined in Section 1.3 of this Agreement, Owner shall cause all such improvements to be billed and paid for separately from the Improvements described in Exhibit A. 2.11 A representative of the City shall have the right, at the City's sole.discretion, to inspect all Improvement work performed to ensure that said work was performed substantially as approved by the City pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement.

Owner shall ensure that all work on the Right-of-Way Improvements is performed in compliance with all prevailing wage requirements contained in Section 1720 et seq. of the California Labor Code. 2.15 Owner acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney regarding the terms of this Agreement. 3.

In the event that the City is unable to verify the accuracy of Owner's report of sales tax delivered to City pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement, City shall so inform Owner. Owner shall have sixty (60) days from such notification by City to deliver a revised report of sales tax in the form described in Section 2.8. If City is able to verify the accuracy of any such new report, City shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and EXHIBIT A TO ATTACHMENT 2 ~~ ~i ~- 3.9 of this Agreement, pay to Owner an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sales tax paid by Tenant. If Owner does not submit a revised report within sixty (60) days of notification, or if City is unable to verify the accuracy of the revised report, City shall make no payment to Owner for that Reporting Year until the matter is resolved to the satisfaction of the City. 3.4 Should Owner fail to timely submit to City the information as required in Section 2.6 of this Agreement, City shall be under no obligation to make any payment to Owner for that year. 3.5 In no event shall City make any payment to Owner for any year in which the total sales tax paid by Tenant is less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). 3.6 At no time shall the cumulative amount of City's payments be more than the Eligible Compensation Amount then in effect. 3.7 If Owner does not elect to construct the Improvements in phases pursuant to Section 2.5, in no event shall City be obligated to pay Owner based on sales tax generated more than five (5) years after the first quarter covered by the report of sales tax submitted to City pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement. In the event that Owner has elected to construct the Improvements in phases pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement, in no event shall City be obligated to pay Owner for any individual phase based on sales tax generated more than five (5) years after the first quarter covered by the report of sales tax for that same phase submitted to City pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement. 3.8 In the event that the actual cost of the Improvements, or any phase thereof, is less than the estimates approved by City pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement, City shall be responsible only for cumulative payments equal to the actual amount of the Improvements. 3.9 In the event that Tenant terminates its lease agreement or otherwise vacates the Property before submitting five (5) annual reports of sales tax payments, City's obligation to pay Owner shall be based only on the amount of sales tax generated by Tenant while occupying the Property. 3.10 In the event that City learns that Tenant's sales tax payments were incorrectly calculated or allocated to the City, and if the result of the incorrect calculation or allocation is that City paid Owner more or less than it would have been required to pay pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement, City shall determine the amount of overpayment or underpayment. If the City is obligated to make any subsequent annual payment to Owner pursuant to this Agreement, City shall adjust the subsequent payment to reflect any overpayment or underpayment it may have made for the period in question. If City determines that it underpaid Owner, but is not obligated to make any additional payments to Owner pursuant to this Agreement, City shall pay owner the amount it underpaid, provided that the total payments to Owner do not then. exceed the Maximum EXHIBIT A TO ATTACHMENT 2 ~~~~- Compensation Amount. This payment shall be made within sixty (60) of City's discovery of the amount of the underpayment. If City determines that it overpaid Owner, but is either not obligated to make any additional payments to Owner pursuant to this Agreement, or the amount of any additional payments is insufficient to compensate City for its prior overpayment, Owner shall pay City the amount City overpaid incompliance with Section 2.13 of this Agreement. 4.
