CITY ATTORNEY DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO: Lioneld Jordan, Mayor City Council Don Marr, Chief of Staff Paul Becker, Finance Director FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney G,/ DATE: April 3, 2009 RE. Sales Tax Refund to Arkansas Western Gas Company for an enlarged call center to be located at 655 East Millsap Arkansas Western Gas Company is applying to use the state and local sales and use tax refunding program authorized for eligible businesses in A.C.A. §15-4-2706 to encourage economic development. According to Ray Boudreaux's memo of April 151, Arkansas Western Gas Company is planning to relocate a major call center to the old Procter & Gamble building at 655 E. Millsap Eighty new jobs are supposed to be created there. The building will house 400 workers and Arkansas Western Gas Company plans to invest $2 million in new equipment for the facility. Arkansas Western Gas Company would like to take advantage of the state and local sales tax refund program to receive back all state sales tax and also local sales tax (maybe) on this full $2 million. If the City council agrees to this for economic development purposes the refund of the one penny general operating sales tax on $2 million would be $20,000.00. I doubt if the City of Fayetteville could authorize diversion for refund purposes of the one penny sales tax that is pledged to pay off the bonds for the sewer improvement project, streets, and trails. I do not know if Washington County has also been asked to agree to authorize the refund of its local sales tax for this $2 million equipment purchase. If so, the City of Fayetteville would lose several thousand dollars additionally from its share of the County's one cent operating penny. The state law used to provide that our required Resolution had to state "whether the municipality or county authorizes the refund of all or a part of any (local) sales tax ...." The Legislature changed that statutory provision to require that the city or county must authorize the refund of local sales tax. Thus, the city or county must now also agree to give back its own sales tax if the state refunds its sales tax. I will check with Gordon Wilborn of Kutak Rock for the final decision about our bond indenture on our one cent sales tax supporting our sewer, streets and trails bonds. I have drafted the proposed Resolution to authorize refunding the operating penny sales tax ($20,000.00), but not the bond penny RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AND CERTIFY THE PARTICIPATION OF ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS COMPANY IN THE ARKANSAS TAX BACK PROGRAM AND TO AGREE TO AUTHORIZE DF&A TO REFUND CITY SALES TAX BACK TO ARKANSAS WESTERN GAS COMPANY WHEREAS, Arkansas Western Gas Company is planning to relocate a major call center to the former Proctor & Gamble building on Millsap which will create 80 new jobs; and WHEREAS, in order to certify Arkansas Western Gas Company to participate in the sales and use tax refund program, either Washington County or the City of Fayetteville, or both, must "(s)pecify that the Department of Finance and Administration is authorized to refund local sales taxes to the qualified business." {A.C.A. § 15-4-2706 (d)(B)(ii)}; and WHEREAS, the City of Fayetteville or Washington County must also endorse Arkansas Western Gas Company's participation in this state and local sales and use tax refund program; and WHEREAS, bond indentures prevent diversion of sales tax proceeds from the city's bonded penny sales and use tax. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS: Section 1: That the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas hereby endorses Arkansas Western Gas Company's participation in the sales and use tax refund program authorized by A.C.A. §15-4-2706 (d) in relation to its equipping of a new call center located at Millsap in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
