Review Bailey PVS
Oxides Enterprise Agreement |
Lisa Arend, Economic
Development Director, was present to lead the discussion. She
stated that Bailey PVS entered into an Enterprise Zone Agreement
and there have since been issues relating to the EPA and cash
flow. Part of their agreement was to keep their taxes up to
date, which has not occurred. She further stated that donation
dollars are in arrears in the amount of $163,679.75 in which
there has been no attempt at payment since December of 2006.
The company has asked for additional time to either refinance or
sell to cover this obligation. Ms. Arend asked the Board for a
recommendation to terminate the Agreement for failure to comply,
with a stipulation that would allow them a right to cure within
30 days if the arrears from 2005 and 2006 were paid. If the
agreement is terminated the tax abatement given to the company
will be also terminate as of the date of the original agreement,
approximately 8 years ago. The Commissioners agreed that before
action is taken, discussions will be held with the prosecuting
attorney. It was noted that the company is in compliance with
the rest of the terms of the Agreement. Commissioner Genter
stated that this agreement was entered into to help abate taxes
for a period of time so that the company can be viable, but they
must follow through with their commitments. Commissioner Short
added that there are many organizations counting on these
donation dollars and that something must be done that is viable
for all those involved. |

Other updates
regarding Economic Development in area |
Ms. Arend
recommended to the Board that Annie Hernandez, the County’s
Financial Coordinator, be appointed to the Tax and Center for
Review Committee in place of Shawn Ferguson. Commissioner
Barnaby made the motion and Commissioner Genter seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution
2007-863.
Ms. Arend outlined
some key business going on in the county at this time, including
commercial facilities and industrial buildings. She noted that
ConAgra’s contract with Toledo Edison is running out and they
need to get a new agreement in place so their bills do not
dramatically increase.
She noted that on
October 12th it is expected that she will be approved
to be on the Board for the Ohio Basic Economic Development
Committee with the Lieutenant Governor, which will put a local
face to the Board and open more doors for the economic
development in the county. |
