RECOMMENDATION: City Staff recommends approval of a contract with Pacific Vet Group -USA (PVG) for the sale of approximately 24 acres of land owned by the City of Fayetteville on Industrial Drive in the Fayetteville Commerce Park, for a purchase price of $360,000. BACKGROUND: In June of 2013, the City Council approved a contract with PVG to sell approximately 14.9 acres of land along City Lake Road in the Commerce Park for the construction of a facility for research, development and manufacturing of animal health products. PVG is a privately held bioscience company specializing in the development and commercialization of science -based probiotic products for the poultry industry. PVG has indicated this $6.7 million investment to construct and occupy a new facility in Fayetteville would result in at least 47 new jobs within 60 months at an average annual salary of $66,000. After geotechnical studies were completed on the City Lake Road property, the soil conditions were found to be less than ideal for this particular development, resulting in significant cost increases in construction. The City decided to conduct geotechnical studies for other city -owned properties within the Commerce District to understand overall suitability for development, and discussed with PVG the potential of another property on which they could construct their facility. PVG has identified Tract #14 on Industrial Drive, a 37.1 acre property, as suitable for their long- term needs. This land is adjacent to the City's Water and Sewer Operations Center. However, PVG does not need the entire 37 acres, approximately 13 of which at the rear of the property is located within floodplain and streamside buffer areas. Rather, they prefer to only purchase the developable area of land outside of the designated floodplain. DISCUSSION: The attached land sale agreement is intended to reflect the same basic terms reached between PVG and the City of Fayetteville in our previous contractual arrangement. The proposal is to sell 24 of the 37.1 acres in Tract 14 of the Commerce Park for $15,000 per acre, resulting in a $360,000 purchase price. Payment for the cost of the land will be amortized over 20 years with the first 5 years fixed at an interest rate of the Federal Reserve Rate plus one percent (1 %). At the end of the 511 year, the interest rate will be modified annually based on the Federal Reserve Mailing Address: 113 W. mountain Street www.fayetieville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 Rate plus one percent (1%) on each anniversary date. The AFDC has committed to providing economic development assistance in a manner similar to the previous development site, on this new property. In order for the project to be eligible for AEDC funding support, the City must contribute to the economic development project as well. As with the previous proposal, the City proposes to contribute by offering a discounted purchase price of $15,000 per acre (compared to a normal $20,000 asking price for similarly situated land in the Commerce District), as well as assistance with up to $200,000 of infrastructure investment, which could include water and/or sewer line extensions and other work within public easements or rights -of -way. The City will retain the remaining 13.1 acres, granting PVG a Right of First Refusal to acquire the balance of the land in the future, if the City ever decides to sell. Please see the attached maps for reference. City Code §34.27 establishes requirements regarding public notice and procedure for the sale of real property owned by the City of Fayetteville. City Staff has performed all necessary public notification procedures in compliance with this city ordinance, including mailing adjacent property owners, posting a sign and publishing the agenda item in the local newspaper. Additionally, the City Council must establish that this land is no longer needed for municipal purposes. As a purpose of the Commerce District is to encourage economic development that generates revenue for the City by providing new and expanded services, and finding that there is no identified use for the subject property for municipal purposes, staff requests that the Council establish that this land is no longer needed for municipal purposes. BUDGETISTAFF IMPACT: $360,000 in sale revenue will be paid to the Water/Sewer fund and General Fund, since both funds have ownership on portions of the subject property. Based upon a $360,000 purchase price, the General Fund would receive 70.8% of the proceeds for a total of $254,880. The Water/Sewer Fund would receive 29.2% for a total of $105,120. Up to $200,000 in City staff time and materials may be utilized to provide public infrastructure work for economic development assistance, under the same terms of agreement approved with the previous contract for sale.

The City Council had originally approved to sell 15 acres of city land located at the City Lake Road at the Fayetteville Commerce District for $15,000 an acre. Geo technical studies conducted at the site (Parcel # 765-16574-000) showed soil conditions that made the site not optimum for PVG's development. The City has been a great partner in carrying out additional geotechnical studies on other city -owned sites in the Commerce District to find a replacement site. PVG has now identified Tract 14 (Parcel # 765-16578-000) as the site suitable for their development. This is a 37.1 acres tract located at Industrial Drive in the Commerce District. 1) PVG proposes to buy 24 of the 37.1 acres from the City at the same price of $15,000 per acre and same financial terms and conditions as the original parcel. 2) PVG looks forward to working on obtaining city's approval as soon as convenient so that they may start their development. This $6.7 million project is expected to create 47 new jobs within 60 months with an annual salary of $66,000 each. Attached are a draft Land Sale Agreement for Tract 14. 123 W.

To: Fayetteville City Council CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE OFJUNE 18, 2013 THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS Thru: Mayor Lioneld Jordan Don Marr, Chief of Staff From: David Jurgens, Utilities Director Date: May 31, 2013 Subject: Sale of 14.9 Acres of Land in the Industrial Park to Pacific Vet Group -USA, Inc. RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends approving a contract with Pacific Vet Group -USA (PVG) for $223,500.00 for the sale of approximately 14.9 acres of land owned by the City of Fayetteville water and sewer utility on Morningside Drive in the Industrial Park. BACKGROUND The City of Fayetteville, the Arkansas Economic Development Commission (AEDC), and the Arkansas Govemor have been approached by PVG to find a site suitable for construction of a research and manufacturing facility into which PVG plans to expand. PVG is a privately held bioscience company specializing in the development and commercialization of science -based probiotic products for the poultry industry. Currently headquartered in Fayetteville, PVG's core technology is licensed from the University of Arkansas, where it was developed in the laboratories of Dr. Billy M. Hargis, a leading poultry researcher. PVG has stated its intent to construct and occupy a new facility at the Morningside Drive site that will move or create a total of at least 60 jobs with an average annual salary of $65,000 within five years to this location. PVG has further stated its intent that construction of the facility will begin within 12 months of acceptance of this offer. DISCUSSION The attached land sale agreement has been reached through negotiations between the City, the Chamber of Commerce, the AEDC and PVG. The proposal is to sell the property to PVG at a reduced rate of $15,000 per acre. In order for this project to be eligible for AEDC funding support, the City must contribute to the economic development in some way. With the current proposal, the City's contribution is in the form of the discounted price per acre (the established asking price has been $20,000, which is what the Water/Sewer fund paid the general fund when the land was transferred in April, 2003) as well as assistance with on -site development including possible work on storm drainage, pavement, street work, utility work, and sidewalk work, all within the public right of way. The value of this work is estimated at $200,000. Payment for the cost of the land will be amortized over 20 years with the first 5 years fixed at an interest rate of the Federal Reserve Rate plus one percent (1 %). At the end of the 5th year, the interest rate will be modified annually based on the Federal Reserve Rate plus one percent (1 %) on each anniversary date. City Code §34.27 establishes specific requirements regarding public notice of the sale of real property. All Code requirements have been met with the related City Council resolution passed June 4, 2013. BUDGETIMPACT $223,500 in sale revenue will be paid to the Water/Sewer fund. A budget adjustment approved June 4, 2013 approved transferring $74,500 frQm the general fund to the Water/Sewer fund to make that fund whole from the land sale.

Together, the state and city are committed to mitigating many of your site -related costs with a package valued over $1 M. The AEDC will commit up to $570,000 in the form of an upfront cash grant to cover erosion control, earthwork, a detention basin with outrall structure, and asphalt pavement at the site. The City, through in -kind services, will assist with constructing culverts and storm drainage, entry drives, curb and gutters, and sidewalks around the site (an estimated value of $200,000). They have also committed to a reducing the cost of the land by $5,000 an acre (a $75,000 savings for 15 acres). In addition the state can offer our Advantage Arkansas income tax credit (valued at $163,000) and our Tax Back sales and use tax refund (value will depend on total investment in taxable building materials, but could be as much as $1.2M for a $15M project). We are excited about your company's success in Arkansas and hope to see your footprint grow in Fayetteville, Please feel free to contact me directly at (501) 682-1260 or via email at SClark@Arkansasedc.com if there is any additional information you need. Sincerely, / / 't J Sarah Clark Project Manager Arkansas Economic Development Commission 900 W. Capitol, Suite 400 Little Rock, Arkahsas 72201 501.682.1121 Arkansesedc.eom Ai SAS A natural for business CONFIDENTIAL ARKANSAS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (AEDC) INCENTIVES PROPOSAL for Pacific Vet Group February 11, 2012 All incentives offered are contingent upon Pacific Vet Group locating is new facility in Fayetteville (Washington County), Arkansas. Incentives are based on the following project assumptions. Any change in the project criteria will require a recalculation of the incentives. • 47 new full-time employees in Fayetteville o Year 1: 18 o Year 2: 13 o Year 3: 4 o Year 4: 10 o Year 5: 2 • Average annual wage of $66,000 ($32/hour) • Investment (estimate) of$5M In Phase 1; $12-15M in Phase II Advantage Arkansas Program The Advantage Arkansas Program is a job tax credit program for qualifying new and expanding companies. In Washington County, the credits earned will be equal to 1% of the net, new payroll for a period of five years with a minimum annual payroll of $125,000. In addition, the average hourly wage of the new payroll generated must average $10.46 per hour or greater. The company may apply the credit to their state income tax liability, not to exceed 50% of the total income tax liability for a reporting period. Employees must be taxpayers of Arkansas to qualify for the credit. The income tax credit begins in the year in which the new employees are hired. Any unused portion of the credit may be applied against the Income tax for the succeeding nine years. Based on payroll information provided by the company the income tax credits are calculated as follows: Annual Payroll of New Employees x Appropriate Percentage = Annual Financial lncentive Year Jobs Annual Payroll Increase Estimated Tax Credit Year 1 18 $ 1,198,080* $ 11,981 Year 2 31 $ 2,063,360 $ 20,634 Year 3 35 $ 2,329,600 $ 23,296 Year 4 45 $ 2,995,200 $ 29,952 Year 5 47 $ 3,128,320 $ 31,283 Total Estimated Benefits $ 117,146 *18 new jobs * $32/hour x 2,080 hours Tax Back Program The Tax Back Program grants a refund of state and local sales and use taxes paid on the purchases of the material used In the construction of a building or buildings or any addition, modernization or improvement to a new or expanding eligible business. A sales and use tax refund is also allowed for the purchases of taxable machinery or equipment associated with the building or project. Eligibility Requirements: Minimum investment of one -hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). The business must sign an Advantage Arkansas agreement within twenty-four (24) months of signing the Tax Back agreement. A refund shall not be authorized for: Routine operating expenditures; The purchase of replacements of items previously purchased as part of a project unless the items_ previously purchased will not enable the project to function as originally intended; Licensed motor vehicles; or Expenditures for routine repair and maintenance that do not result In new construction or expansion. To qualify for the Tax Back Program, the company must submit a completed application accompanied by a local endorsement resolution from the city, county or both which authorizes the refund of its local taxes to the eligible company. The refund will not include the sales tax dedicated to the Educational Adequacy Fund and the Conservation Tax Fund. These two exceptions reduce the state refund by one percent (1%). Currently state sales tax rate Is six percent (6%) therefore the refund of state taxes wil I be based upon five percent (5%) of the eligible taxable purchases. Currently the sales tax rate in Fayetteville, Arkansas (including Washington County) is 3.25% of the eligible taxable purchases and the refund of local taxes will be based on that rate. If the company were to invest $15M in elegible, taxable items, , the sales and use tax refund is estimated as follows: Eligible Expenditures x Total Sales Tax (State & Local) = Refund Amount $15,000,000 x 8.25% (5% + 3.25%) _ $1,237,500 Infrastructure Based on the information provided by Pacific Vet Group, the Arkansas Economic Development Commission is willing to commit $570,000 in Governor's Quick Action Closing Funds to be used towards erosion control, earthwork, a detention basin with outfall structure, and asphalt pavement at the company's potential new site in Fayetteville, AR. To receive reimbursement for eligible expenditures, the company will be required to submit invoices to the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. This funding is contingent upon the creation of at least 47 full-time jobs within 5 years of the signing the grant agreement. AEDC will require Pacific Vet Group to sign a grant agreement and a grant reimbursement agreement that will have claw -backs in the event the terms of the agreement are not met. fatFayetteville C Comber of Commerce February 7, 2013 Sarah Clark Project Manager, Business Development Arkansas Economic Development Commission 900 West Capitol, Suite 400 Little Rock, AR 72201 501-682-1260 (office) 501-580-0274 (cell) Dear Sarah: The philosophy of the City of Fayetteville and its citizenry has been one of building a quality of place for our community. As such, Mayor Jordan, the City Council, and the Fayetteville Chamber place the highest priority in investing in the infrastructure within the city. They look at infrastructure such as excellent roads, schools, and amenities. We believe that by investing in infrastructure, Fayetteville will become a desired location for businesses to prosper and for residents to call home. The City of Fayetteville has invested in its infrastructure in the past, current, and in the future. 1) Citizens of Fayetteville approved a tax increase in 2011 to raise funds to expand and renovate its Fayetteville High School. This is a $94 million project divided in 2 phases. Phase 1 is already completed and Phase 2 will be completed by 2014. Phase l included an 850-seat performing arts center; a 2,200-seat sports arena with two practice gyms and locker rooms; and classrooms for drama, band, orchestra, and choir. Also included is a student cafeteada that seats 600 students. 2) Citizens of Fayetteville, together with the rest of the state, approved a half cent sales tax in November, 2012 (for the next 10 years), to raise funds for infrastructure. Specifically, northwest Arkansas where Fayetteville is located, will see Interstate 540 expand from 4- to 6-lanes from Fayetteville to Bella Vista, This year, five out of 17,1-540 projects will get underway; two in Benton County and three in Washington County. All 17 projects will start in the next 5 years and all are scheduled to be finished in the next 10 years. In addition to these highway projects, the City of Fayetteville will enjoy $12 million of turn back monies from this tax to improve city streets and roads over the next 10 years. 3) Within the Fayetteville Commerce District where the site is located, the City of Fayetteville has made improvements to it since last year. It added 29 public street lights to improve night lighting there. This year, the City will be building and connecting sidewalks in the district and putting up additional way -finding signs to help truckers/visitors find their way to the district. It is also improving the turn points on ACCREDITED, L23 Sites[ Mnun[ain ' F lu 20' 4 Aft %?702 11215' 7F1.479. 571 17'.0 ' FAX 479 1191 ' rt;tivlay i:evillear [ant Page 2/PVG Armstrong and Morningside with 15"' Street. Road improvements are currently underway on Hwy 265 and Cato Springs Road to help with accessing to interstate highways. Fifteenth Street quid Morningside/City Lake Road are in the work plans for _ improvement as well. rhis zmprovernent will cost a City a than $100,000. 1) Apart from schools and roads, the City of Fayetteville is known for its trails, parks, arts, entertainment, and cultural offerings, thus making it a desired location for families and workers to live and play. The City is able to recruit and retain local and outside talents. The City builds about 3 miles of trail each year. Beginning this year, it will increase spending on building sidewalks within the city, starting in subdivisions located close by to schools. 2) The University of Arkansas is a great asset to companies like PVG for its research and development capabilities and the workforce it produces. The U of A has seen an increase of student enrollment of 1,500 students a year for the past three years. This trend is expected to continue COT the next few more years. This growth showed a desire from students to seep training at this facility over others in the nation. The university, since 2001, has invested more than $1 billion in capital expenditures. Currently, it has $300 million worth of projects happening on campus with many more in different stages of planning. 3) As a result of all these work, the Fayetteville MSA has enjoyed a net positive population growth and an unemployment rate below that of the nation. The Cost of Living Index for 2012 just came out —Fayetteville MSA is ranked #6 as the least expensive MSA amongst all the MSAs under study (307), Fayetteville MSA is the only MSA from Arkansas that made that list and there was no MSA from Missouri that showed up in the top 10 ranking. This is a publication by the Council of Community and Economic Research. We consider Pacific Vet Group (PVG) a home grown company because of its UA origins and we are excited and proud of its growth and plans for the future. We are confident that Pacific Vet Group will agree that its expansion should be back in Fayetteville where PVG will have access to intrinsic resources that it may not be able to find elsewhere. Fayetteville wishes to be PVG's partner to help it grow. As such, the City will work with PVG to expedite their expansion process and put its project on fast track. The Fayetteville Chamber, being the economic developer for the city, will be the contact for this project. In addition, the City is pleased to offer a price reduction of $5,000 off the asking price of $20,000 per acre for the 14.9 acres of land owned by the City in the Fayetteville Commerce District. This represents a $74,500 direct benefit to PVG. Since this is a green site, the City will assist with on -site development in terms of public right of way and to facilitate access in the areas of culverts & storm drainage, concrete pavements such as entry drives, asphalt pavement, curbs & gutters, and sidewalk. City assistance will be limited to public areas only as regulations do not permit city to work on private property. Page 31PVd This offer is construed based on PVG's expansion plan presented to us. PVG's plan calls for mowing existing and new jobs to a total of at least 60 jobs with an average annual salary of $65,000 within 5 years and that construction shall begin within 12 month upon acceptance of this offer. Furthermore, PVC will move into the new location once construction is completed. We look forward to working with you and PVG on this exciting project, Yours truly, l � j� Steve C ark President & CEO RNANS Departmental Correspondence A lilt Williams City Attorney Jsson H. Kelley T n l — A.0ur(w Civy-A tom Don Marr, Chief of Staff Paul Becker, Finance Director David Jurgens, Utilities Director FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney �Z DATE: May 9, 2013 RE: Sale of Water and Sewer land in Industrial Park to new industry I believe that the City of Fayetteville can sell the necessary acreage to the proposed new industry for $15,000.00 per acre as the City's required (by_ the Arkansas Economic Development Commission) support for this economic development project, Although this is $5,000.00 less than the normal asking price for our other available Industrial Park property, the long term economic benefits to our City, Citizens and existing businesses from this project with its quality, high paying jobs justifies this proposed reduced price offering. I do recommend that"the Water and Sewer Fund that currently owns this land be compensated for this offer to sell at what might be below the value of the land (in a trade for other city land) it acquired about a decade ago. We need to begin immediately the Public Notification process required by Section 34.27 of the Fayetteville Code (copy attached) for the sale of City property. We simply need to mail notices to adjoining landowners, post signs on the property and publish a notice in the paper at least 15 days before the City Council meeting in which a Resolution for the sale is considered by the City Council. This is the same process used in the sale of the 2 acres of the old Tyson factory site. Jeremy Pate did that notification and therefore would be very "up to speed" on what is needed, Ila V` of Parcel No. 765-19579.000 Doc ID: 015869450003 Type: REL Kind: WARRANTY DEED Recorded: 08/26/2014 at 01:11:54 PM WARRANTY DEED uashinpto 2County.

This interest rate shall be annually adjusted after the first five years to apply the Federal Reserve Primary Credit Rate existing at each anniversary date, plus one percent (1%). (b) The repayment to the holder of the indebtedness secured hereby of all reimbursable expenses at any time accruing to such holder(s) under the provisions of Section (6) below. Upon the payment of all such sums, this Mortgage will become void and will be released by proper marginal notation, or at the option of the holder(s) of the secured debt, by a release deed to be recorded at the expense of the Mortgagor. (4) Mortgagor agrees: (a) To pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes, special improvement assessments and other governmental charges against the mortgaged property, both real and personal, at any time levied or becoming due. (b) To prevent the mortgaged property from becoming encumbered by any lien or charge having priority over, or on a parity with, the lien of this mortgage, except that the City of Fayetteville agrees to subordinate its first mortgage to construction and permanent financing of the improvements to the property; and to comply with all statutes, ordinances and regulations relating to such property.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event, which, under the terms of the instrument(s) at any time evidencing the indebtedness secured hereby, warrants an acceleration (at the option of the payee) of the maturity of such indebtedness. (c) If default shall be made in the payment of any part of the principal indebtedness secured hereby, or any interest accruing on such principal indebtedness, as the same becomes due and payable according to the terms of the original note, or of any extension or renewal thereof at any time evidencing such indebtedness. (d) If Mortgagor shall fail to comply with any of the agreements contained in Section (4) of this mortgage. (e) If Mortgagor, being a partnership or a corporation, shall be dissolved or reorganized in any manner.

(g) If at any time Mortgagor shall sell or convey the title to or any interest in any realty mortgaged hereunder without the prior written consent of the holder(s) of the secured indebtedness. It is particularly understood that the foregoing acceleration provisions will be applicable not only to the maturities recited in the original mortgage note(s) but also to any substituted maturities created by extension or renewal. The failure of the holder(s) of the secured indebtedness to declare an acceleration of maturities when a ground therefor exists, even though such forbearance may be repeated from time to time, will not constitute a waiver of the right of such holder(s) to accelerate maturities upon a reoccurrence of the same ground therefor; nor will the act of such holder(s) in remedying any condition resulting from Mortgagor's default bar the holder(s) from declaring an acceleration of maturities by reason of such default. (b) If the holder(s) of the indebtedness secured hereby shall expend any sum or sums for the protection of any of the mortgaged property or the lien of this mortgage (such holder(s) to have uncontrolled discretion as to the necessity of making any such expenditures), the repayment of such sum or sums on demand (with interest thereon at the highest rate allowed by law from the date of each expenditure) shall be the personal obligation of the Mortgagor, and such obligation to repay will constitute a part of the indebtedness secured hereby. The expenditures thus made reimbursable will include (without limiting the foregoing) taxes, special improvement assessments, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance expenses, security expenditures, sums paid to discharge prior liens, rents on premises in which mortgaged personalty may be situated, etc. The cost of any abstract or supplemental abstract procured by the holder(s) of the secured indebtedness to facilitate Page 3 of 5 s . foreclosure will also constitute a part of the reimbursable expenses secured hereby. (7) In the event of a default hereunder the holder(s) of the indebtedness secured hereby shall be entitled to foreclose this mortgage through judicial proceedings with respect to any real estate encumbered hereby in the Circuit Courts of the State of Arkansas. (S) The Mortgagor releases all right of appraisement hereunder and also releases unto the Mortgagee all right of redemption under the laws of Arkansas, including particularly all right of redemption under § 18-49-106 of the Arkansas Code Annotated. (9) The Mortgagor, for the consideration stated herein, hereby releases and relinquishes unto the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, all of Mortgagor's rights of dower, curtesy and homestead in and to the above described property.
