TRANSFRR OF SCHOOL BUILDING IN SEADRIFI' TO CALHOUN COUNTY
FROM ~TJIOUN COUNTY INDBPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRIC'l:
Commissioner Finster recognized the following ~ersons
present in Court: Larry Nichols, School Super~ntendent,
Mayor Ezell with the City of Seadrift, Noemi Cruz, County
Liorarian and Barbara Campbell, Library Board member.
Commissioner Finster recapped events concerning the old
school building in Seadrift owned by the Calhoun County
Independent School District. The School District
contracted through an Interlocal Agreement with the City
of Seadrift and Calhoun County for the School District to
build a road to the new schoolhouse. The City paid their
portion and that left the School District owing a balance
of $29,404 for their part. They have offered to exchange
those monies with some additional funds for the building
in Seadrift. He summarized this in round numbers: the
cost of the road ws $44,000, the City of Seadrift paid
approximately $15,000 which left a balance of about
$29,400. The school building appraised at $35,700 and the
six lots under it, at $9106, for a total of $44,000. The
29,000 the School District owes the County subtracted from
$44,000 leaves about $15,000. The School District has
offered to allow Precinct 4 to do some repairs to their
parking lot and the playground for that $15,449.
Commissioner Finster asked the Court to proceed with the
transfer of that facility which will be that an Interlocal
Agreement will have to be drawn up and brought to the
Court e~laining exactly what has taken place and how that
$15,000 ~s going to be utilized for the system.
Mr. Nichols stated the School District believes the
building was built by the taxpayers and should be used by
the taxpayers and seeks to move this process foward.
Barbara Campbell said the Seadrift area needs a larger
building with parking. Also, the shuttle bus drops school
children off right by there. Commissioner Finster said
the group has previously met to discuss ways to raise
funds for renovation of the roof. Ms. Cruz stated there
are grants for which they may apply for funding. She said
the current buildin~being used has no room for expansion
and no handicap fac~lities. Billy Ezell, Seadrift mayor,
stated the computers are in the same area with reading and
the room is very crowded and computers are distracting to
the readers. He said the City has plans to take on the
additional area and possibly move city hall there. The
auditorium could be used as a community center.
Commissioner Finster said an electrician and architect
have looked at the building and found no problems.
A Motion was made by Commissioner Finster and seconded by
Commissioner Galvan to ~roceed with the transfer of the
facility in Seadrift wh~ch means an Interlocal Agreement
will be brought before the Court at a later date setting
out exactly what will take place. Commissioners Galvan,
Balajka, Floyd, Finster and Judge Pfeifer all voted in
favor.

TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY OMNIBASE SERVICES.
INCORPORATED - INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT REGARDING
FAILURE TO APPEAR PROGRAM FOR JUSTICES OF THE PEACE
OFFICES
e
Nancy Pomykal, Justice of the Peace Pct. #5, said in
January of 1999 they entered into a failure to appear
program, however, it did not interface well with the
computer program used. The OmniBase Services program will
interface with the Hill Country Software which they now
use as well as with several others. She requested the
County enter into an interlocal Cooperation Agreement with
the Texas Department of Public Safety OnmiBase Services,
Incorporation.
A Motion was made by Commissioner Balajka and seconded by
Commissioner Floyd to enter into an Interlocal Cooperation
Agreement with the Texas Department of Public Safety
OmniBase Services, Incorporated for the failure to qppEar
program and authorize the County Judge to sign same.
In discussion, Judge Pomykal stated there are about 200
counties which now have this program; with it Calhoun
Count~ will be able to exchange information with these
count1es regarding failure to appear cases. Commissioner
Galvan asked if a person with a FTA is picked up in
another county and has a warrant in Calhoun County and
they spend their time in jail there, what is the cost to
Calhoun County which has no jail at this time. Judge
Pomykal replied that county will take responsibility of
the cost; the person has to be allowed to spend his jail
time where he is arrested, although most persons will be
bonded out rather than spend time in jail. Judge Duckett
said the person will have to pay any outstanding fines and
costs before they can renew their drivers' license or
re$ister a vehicle as the OnmiBase program will detect the
fa11ure to appear when their name is entered into the
system.
Commissioners Galvan, Balajka, Floyd, Finster and Judge
Pfeifer all voted in favor.

Re: Contract with Department of Public Safety OmniBase Services, Incorporated;
Dear Sirs:
We the Justices of the Peace of Calhoun County are recommending our county enter into a
contract with OmniBase Services, Incorporated. OmniBase is a remote ca5e entry system, failure
to appear program. It maintains records, rransmits records, and provides reports of outstanding
violators and offenses. Once a violator is entered into the program, they will be part of a state
wide data base, providing all law enforcement with information pertaining to outstanding
warrants. Anyone with outSlJl1lding warrants will be unable to renew their driver's license or
register their vehicle until the warrants are disposed of.
e
The J.P. lIIIUlllgement software we an: currently using will interfuce easily with the program.
We feel entering into a contract with this company will expedite the dispositions of outstanding
cases, and clear our dockets of out- dated violations. The fiillure to appear program will also
provide our county and state with revenue which may currently be un-collected by not being in a
state wide collection system..
Thank you fur your prompt attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
Judge Sally Menchaca, Pct. I

ENTERPRISE ZONE ESTABLISHMENT FOR CALHOUN COUNTY
Commissioner Galvan stated the establishment of an
enterprise zone for Calhoun County has been discussed by
the Court several times. He, personally, felt the Court
should continue with this.
Jack Wu, with Formosa Plastics, Inc., said he appreciated
the Court taking the time to understand the process. He
felt this is good for the County with no cost and this
would be a potential help for the County. He asked the
Court to take action.
e
Ken Morris of Port Alto spoke in opposition to the
enterprise zone. He said companies using the free trade
zone avoid federal tax and are now trying to avoid paying
local and state taxes. He felt this was alright for a
small company to get a tax break but not large companies.
He said this would be a loss of revenue needed by the
county and would place a burden on taxpayers. He asked
the Court not to proceed with the zone until they have
more information.
Commissioner Galvan replied if this would be a burden to
the county and state, the State Legislature would have
done away with it. Commissioner Balajka stated the
contract has not yet been made. Commissioner Floyd
suggested defining why the zone is being created and
obtaining a cost analysis. Commissioner Balajka said the
Court would set forth enterprise zone guidelines only.
Mr. Wu said this is to create jobs and stated Formosa has
paid millions of dollars in taxes and their employees all
pay taxes. This also helps the schools. He said this
would not affect the local tax base, the program is tied
to the state. The Court is asked only to establish a
zone.
e
Mayor Tharling stated an enterprise zone will offer an
opportunity to companies. They mu~t create permanent jobs
for a certain number of years. He encouraged the Court to
adopt establishment of a zone.
Mr. Wu said he had no project in mind when he requested
the establishment of an enterprise zone. This would
affect only state sales tax and franchise tax. He said
the enterprise zone has nothing to do with a tax abatement
or reinvestment zone. Commissioner Floyd said in an
enterprize zone some tax abatement of the company would be
involved.
e
A Motion was made by Commissioner Galvan and seconded by
Commissioner Balajka to form an enterprise zone for
Calhoun County. Commissioners Galvan, Balajka, Finster
and Judge Pfeifer all voted in favor. Commissioner Floyd
voted against.
Commissioner Floyd e~lained his objection: (1) We need
to have a project deflned so we can do a project cost
analysis and then determine whether it is good or bad for
the County. (2) Tax abatement is proper if it induces a
company to come here; a company that is here ought to be
established and remain here because of the profit ability.
We don't need to push the burden of those companies on to
the taxpayers of the County.
Commissioner Finster stated there is no one company asking
for an enterprise zone at this time. Commissioner Floyd
asked for what purpose. Commissioner Finster said the
zone is created and then the terms are defined.
Commissioner Galvan felt this would create jobs and entice
enterprise to Calhoun County. Commissioner Balajka
agreed. He said regarding shifting the burden to the
taxpayers, "God help the taxpayers if industry was not
here." Commissioner Floyd said industry is here because
it is profitable to them.
Mayor Tharling thanked the Court on behalf of the City and
the citizens who need jobs.
281
A Mo~io~ was ~de by Commissioner Balajka and seconded by
Comm1ss1one~ F1nster to appoint Judge Pfeifer as
representat1ve of the Court with Commissioner Galvan in
the develo~ment and research of establishing an enterprise
zone. CO~1ssioners Galvan, Balajka, Floyd, Finster and
Judge Pfe1fer all voted in favor.

TEXAS ENTERPRISE ZONE PROGRAI\1 SUMMARY
PROGRAl'1 STATUS
e
Since its inception in 1988, Texas Enterprise Zones have attracted at least $11.6 billion in capital
investment and over 88,000 newly projected jobs and over 9,100 retained jobs. As of March 2003,
one hundred and seventy one (171) proj ects have been designated in Texas and there are two
hundred and five (205) active zones approved by the Texas Department of Economic Development
(the "Department") which administers the program.
Representative Enterprise Zones in major Texas cities include Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort Worth,
Abilene, Amarillo, Houston, Midland, Beaumont/Jefferson County, McAllen, Brownsville, Port
Arthur, San Antonio, and Waxahachie. The size and composition of each Texas Enterprise Zone are
unique and reflect the characteristics of the nominating city or county. A zone may range from
approximately 1 square mile to a maximum of 20 square miles, The geographic areas are flexible
and can be expanded if necessary to meet the needs of the area. However, no area can be deleted
without completely re-designating the entire Enterprise Zone.
RECENT Ai\1ENDMENTS AFFECTmG ENTERPRISE ZONE LEGISLATION
A few years ago, the 76>Jt Legislature mandated a minimum Project score (30 points) and expanded
the conditions under which a business could qualify for Project designation when no new jobs were
created, but jobs are retained in the ongoing business.
e
The n>Jt Legislature signiiicantly expanded the tax benefits of the Program and reduced the number
of new or retained jobs a business must create to take full advantage of the Program. Now a
business must only create or retain 250 jobs, instead of 625 jobs, to receive the maximum sales ta.x
refund of $1.25 million. Furthermore, the Department is now authorized to designate up to 85
businesses as Enterprise Projects every two years. Localities over 250,000 residents can nominate
up to six Enterprise Projects every two years while localities with less than 250,000 residents can
nominate up to four Enterprise Projects biennially,

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THE ENTERPRISE ZONE
An Enterprise Zone ("zone") is a geographic area with the following physical and economic
characteristics. The intent of the governing body to consider an area as a zone must be first
published and posted for seven (7) days before official action can be taken. The proposed zone
must
1. Have a continuous boundary;
2. Be at least one square mile, but not more than 10 square miles or 5% of total area of
nominating government. In no case can it be more than 20 square miles; and
3, Have one and one-half times the state unemployment rate, or a 12% population loss for the
last 6 years or a loss of at least 4% in the past 3 years, and
4, One or more of the following criteria must be met
a. Area is low-income poverty area' (a minimwn 20% poverty rate);
b. Area is eligible for UDAG funding;
c. At least 70% of residents or households have income below 80% of the median
income of the locality or state, whichever is lower; and/or
d. Chronic abandonment, substantial tax arrears, substantial business losses, or a
declared disaster area; or the
e. Area has had a subs1antial increase in juvenile crime activity.
Under the new law, it will be important for the communities nominating the zone to pay particular
attention to the design of zone boundaries to have the highest level of economic distress as
practicable. In addition, it will be very important to negotiate with local businesses and charitable
organizations to contribute time and resources to the revitalization goals of the enterprise zone.
ENTERPRISE ZONES AND REINVESTMENT ZONES
Enterprise Zones are automatically considered to be reinvestment zones without further action by
the nominating governing authority (Government Code, 2303.507). Reinvestment zones are the
precursor oflocal tax benefits including city, county and/or school district tax abatement ("TA") or
they may be the precursor to be establishment of a tax increment finance ("TlF") district. A
business should discuss these options for local incentives with the local taxing authorities at the
same time the business requests Enterprise Zone participation and support from the local city
cOWlcil or cOWlty commission.
The 74th Legislature made two important changes regarding the relationship between these two
types of zones. First, a reinvestment zone designated at the time of an enterprise zone will now both
be in effect for seven years. . Second, tax abatement agreements negotiated within an enterprise zone
do not have to contain identical t=s within the abatement contract. For example, a city could
abate 100% and a school district could abate only 50%.
STATE AND LOCAL INCENTIVES FOR TEXAS ENTERPRISE ZONES
1. Local property tax abatement
2
283
e
2. Tax increment financing permitted in zone
3. Refund of state sales and use taxes (local sales tax rebate is optional)
4. Deduction of state franchise tax
5. State and local regulatory relief or expedited processing
6. Grant and loan preferences, including priority funding for Smart Jobs
7, Infrastructure improvements to the site (both local and state)
8. Reduced development, water and sewer fees at the site
9, Up to 5% reduction in utility rates from the lowest rate offered to any business in the
enterprise zone.
If the local utility does not offer the reduction, a business may petition the PUC directly for
the incentive and the PUC is empowered to order the reduction.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTERPRISE PROJECTS
Projects are designated by the Department based on score, The minimum score to be considered is
30 points. Factors considered in the evaluation include the amount of capital investment, the
number of new jobs created and the distress level of the community. Each local governing authority
nominates the business by resolution for Project consideration. The Department may designate no
more than 85 businesses as Projects during the biennium. The qualified business must maintain the
same level of employment for qualified employees for three years from the time of refund
qualification, Most governing bodies (city or county) may nominate six projects every two years
e
A business must meet certain requirements to be designated an Enterprise Project by the
Department. First, the business must be physically located in an Enterprise Zone or have solid plans
to move into a zone. Second, the business must agree to hire 25% of its new employees who are
either (1) residents of the Enterprise Zone, and/or (2) economically disadvantaged. These new hires
do not include twnover or replacement personnel. This percentage must be maintained during the
time a business is considered an enterprise project. Normally, the project life is five (5) years.
Third, the business must enter into a contractual agreement with the Department stipulating that the
business will maintain separate books and records for activities within the zone and that the
Department may inspect these materials for program compliance with reasonable notice. The
business must also agree to maintain the same level of employment that it had when it first received
sales tax benefits for at least three years after designation, or the Comptroller may seek a
proportionate retwn of the benefits, plus penalties and interest.
REQUIREMENTS FOR RETENTION ENTERPRISE PROJECTS
There is a unique job retention provision in the statute, which allows generous incentives for
businesses, which invest in their facilities, which ultimately improves the plant's efficiency. If such
an investment increases the production capacity by 10% or reduces the overall cost per unit
produced by 10%, the businesses can apply for designation by the Department. Sales and use tax
refund may then be applied to all employees (up to the maximum of 250) - not just new jobs.
e
3
,.,'1
284
e
e
e
However, there is one more step required to access this incentive provision, A prospective applicant
must first submit a qualification letter through the nominating city or county, to the Texas
Department of Economic for pre-approval to proceed ,vith the application.
Overall, the Enterprise Zone program provides very little administrative interference to ongoing
business operations. There is no minimum job level nor is there a minimum capital investment
required. The project does not have to submit a report to the Department until the business applies
for the tax incentives offered through the program.
Many national relocations as well as local industry expansions have been designated including:
BASF, i2Technologies, Inc., AT & T, Borden, Inc" Tandy Corporation, Target Stores, 3M, Bausch
& Lomb, Russell Stover Candies, Chrysler Technologies Airborne, Fruit of the Loom, Trinity
Industries, Koch Refining Company, CITGO Refining and Chemicals, Inc., Temple-Inland Forest
Products and Owens-Coming Corporation.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR ECONOMlCALLY DISADVANTAGED INDIVIDUALS
One out of every four (25%) new qualified employees hired by the Project must be an economically
disadvantaged person or a resident of the local Enterprise Zone. The definitions of such persons are
broad and are generally based on low income or other poverty indicators. Specifically, one of four
new hires or replacements for existing jobs designated for benefit must meet one of the following
descriptions:
l.
2.
3.
4.
5,
6.
7.
8.
have been unemployed for the preceding three (3) months; or
receive some type of public assistance, such as food stamps; or
be eligible for the WOTC (the Federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit) program; or
be a handicapped individual; or
be an inmate entering the workforce after serving in a correctional facility; or
earn less than 80% of the median area income (V,S. Census); or
be on parole from the T exas Youth Commission; or
lives in an Enterprise Zone(s) approved by the local governing body,
The local Texas Workforce Commission office is generally very helpful in assisting the Project in
identifying a labor pool, which meets the criteria stated above. In many cases where a governing
authority has an existing zone, a labor pool may already be in place,
Before a traditional project can qualify for tax refunds, each qualified employee must have worked
at least 1,820 hours within a one-year period. Retention projects can qualify for benefits
immediately after designation.
PROJECT APPLICATION SCORING
,
Each project application received by the Department will be scored for purposes of detennining the
opportunity for a nominating government to secure more than the minimum number of designated
4
08r-
",. J
e
projects and, if applications exceed the allowable project designations, for determining which
applications will be approved by virtue of their scores_ The general point spread of score
distribution will be:
1. 25% for the economic distress of the immediate geographic area
2. 25% for the economic distress of the enteIprise zone
3. 25% for the degree of public/private cooperation
4, 12,5% for the amoWlt of capital investment
5, 12,5% for the type and wage levels of created/retained jobs
TIMETABLE CONSIDERATIONS
Deadlines for project application submission are posted annually in the Texas Register. The
Department has set deadlines for the first business day of every third month, i.e, September I,
December I, March I and J Wle 1.
The critical point to evaluate when considering an application to the Department is the anticipated
time of purchase orders related to equipment, machinery or construction materials. Tax refunds on
these purchases will be given starting 90 working days before a project approval is formally granted
by the Department.
e
STATE SALES AND USE TAX INCENTIVE FOR ENTERPRISE PROJECTS
A business designated as an Enterprise Project is eligible to receive up to $1,25 million in refunds of
state sales and use taxes. 34 TEX. ADMIN. CODE 93,329 also makes it very clear that the qualified.
businesses approved as Projects must create and maintain permanent jobs for purposes of the sales
and use tax refund and the franchise tax credit.
Beginning September 1,2001, a business may receive $5,000 per job up to a maximum of$250,000
per year for five years, Refunds are granted for all new jobs created, not just the jobs which
constitute the 25% criteria for economically disadvantaged persons. Qualified purchases for sales
tax refunds include business consumables, taxable services, equipment, machinery, and building
materials for use in the zone, In addition, refunds can be made for taxes paid on labor for building
rehab and taxes paid on electricity and natural gas used by the Project in the zone. A portion of the
refunds are currently allowed, but taxes on consumables and services may be accrued, but may not
actually be received Wltil September I, 2003, Even so, the business may carry back earned refunds
90 working days prior to designation and receive the full value of the incentive as long as the
business met program requirements during the periods for which the refund is sought.
FRANCmSE TAX INCENTIVE FOR ENTERPRISE PROJECTS
e
After September I, 2001 a Project may take a franchise tax credit each year the designation is in
effect. There are two credits: job creation and capital investment. The job creation credit is
5
.,~
286
~~. .
e
e
e
calculated by taking 25% of the new job payroll and the investment credit is 7,5% of the capital
dollars invested in the business designated as a Project. The entire credit may be taken the year in
which it was earned, however, the credits may absorb only up to half (50%) ofthe Project's liability.
While a Project can establish the credit after September I, 2001, no credit can be actually taken
before September 1,2003. Neither credit may reduce the franchise tax liability below zero. A
corporation may take the option of its choice, but an election for the initial period (capital or earned
surplus) applies to the second tax period and to the first annual regular period.
SEPARATED CONTRACT PROVISION
It is important to note that the State Comptroller requires a separated contract if a Project undertakes
construction of a facility with a general contractor and/or individual subcontractors. Essentially,
that means that labor, materials and state taxes paid on each segment must be separately stated. A
lump sum contract will only be recognized by the Comptroller if the contractor has been designated
a Project. While each contract will be unique, the following paragraph illustrates some suggested
language:
a. Equipment, Machinery and Building Materials. Accompanying each request
for an advance under this construction contract, contractor shall furnish to owner copies of
all invoices (or summaries thereof if the investors also relate to other construction contracts)
for equipment, machinery and building materials purchased in connection with this
construction contract. Each invoice (or summary thereof if the invoice also relates to other
construction contracts) shall expressly show each item purchased, the date of the purchase,
the arnount of the purchase, the amount of tax to be paid by Owner and the identity of the
seller. Contractor shall further maintain all records necessary to indicate all equipment,
machinery and building materials were purchased for use within the enterprise zone,
Contractor hereby agrees that each subcontractor, mechanic and material men conducting
work pursuant to, or in connection with, this Construction Contract shall be subject to, and
comply with, the requirements of this Section _(a) and (b). Contractor expressly
acknowledges and agrees that all tax refunds payable relative to this Construction Contract
are the sole and exclusive property of Owner,
b. Further Assurances. Contractor and Owner expressly acknowledge and
agree that it is the intention that this Construction Contract be construed as, and constitute, a
separated contract for all purposes, including for purposes of compliance with Section
151.429 of the Texas Tax Code and Rule 3,329 as promulgated by the Comptroller of Public
Accounts for purposes of establishing the guidelines and procedures for administering
Section 151.429 of the Texas Tax Code. Without further consideration, Owner and
Contractor shall effect such amendments and make such adjustments to the terms and
provisions of this Construction Contract as may be reasonably requested in order to enable
and insure that this Construction Contract constitutes a separated contract and that Owner
shall be entitled to receive and retain all tax refunds available pursuant to Section 151.429 of
the Texas Tax eode, Without negating or otherwise impairing or affecting Contractor's
obligations to fully comply with this Section _(a) and (b), Owner acknowledges that
