MEMORANDUM
January 26, 2010
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Greg Last, Director of Economic Development
Subject: Ordinance No. 964 ordaining the City's participation in the Texas
Enterprise Zone Program pursuant to the Texas Enterprise Zone Act,
Chapter 2303, Texas Government Code, providing tax incentives,
designating a liaison for communication with interested parties, and
nominating Sabre Inc. at 3150 Sabre Drive and Travelocity.com LP at
3120 Sabre Drive, both in Southlake, to the Office of the Governor
Economic Development & Tourism through the Economic
Development Bank as Enterprise Projects.
Action
Requested: Approve Ordinance No. 964 as noted above.
Background
Information: The State of Texas Governor's Office, Division of Economic
Development & Tourism, administers the Texas Enterprise Zone
program as authorized by Chapter 2303 of the Texas
Government Code. The component applicable to these
nominations is the reimbursement of the State's portion of the
Sales and Use taxes paid on new project related capital
investments.
Sabre Holdings Corporation has asked the City to nominate two
of their divisions as Enterprise Projects; Sabre Inc. and
Travelocity.com LP. Their applications are based on the
retention of existing jobs. There are different levels of project
classification. Both of their projects intend between $5M and
$10M in capital investments with approximately 500 jobs to be
retained. The potential types of capital investments include an
additional parking garage / lot, capitalized software, computers
(servers, etc.), leasehold improvements and furniture and
fixtures. Reimbursements are limited to $2,500 per job retained
not to exceed $250,000 per year and $1,250,000 over five
years.
The program is a competitive application program that allows for
105 awards per biennium. Each community can have no more
than six awards. Calls for applications are quarterly with the
next application being March 1, 2010.
The City would have to annually fill out a questionnaire from the
Governor's Office but the annual job certifications would be the
responsibility of Sabre.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Ordinance 964
Page 2 of 2
The City Council unanimously approved the first reading of
Ordinance 964 on consent agenda on January 19, 2010.
Financial
Considerations: This program is an incentive provided by the State of Texas and
as such will not have a financial impact on the City.
Strategic Link: The primary Strategic Link for this initiative is C4: Attract and
keep top -tier businesses to drive a dynamic and sustainable
economic environment.
Strategy No. 6 in the Business Retention & Expansion Strategic
Plan advocates strengthening City and Corporate alliances.
Our relationship with Sabre is the model for the establishment of
the Southlake Business Council. This initiative both supports
our largest employer and motivates them to retain a significant
number of jobs in the City of Southlake.
Citizen Input/
