JUNE 20, 1996 PUBU C HEARING CON/To Mayor Sica explained that we are giving companies an option to pay twenty percent taxes after the first year, forty percent, sixty percent, eighty percent and one-hundred percent. U. S. Metals is a contaminated piece of property that was bringing us no taxes. They spent millions of dollars to clean it up. In the five year program for the tax abatement on those big buildings, White Rose and D. B. Brown, over a course of three years, they will pay almost three million dollars, even with the tax abatement. At the end of the fifth year they will be paying in excess of a million dollars a year. We are giving them a little incentive to come to Carteret like Woodbridge, New Brunswick and Perth Amboy does. We've been more successful than most others getting new industries to locate in Carteret. Through the efforts of this Council and the Mayor, we've been successful in bringing into Carteret in the past year, over 1,000 jobs. It's an abatement program to entice people to come to our town and build considerable ratables. Al though Whi te Rose paid no taxes the first year, the building permit for the White Rose building alone was $224,000.00.

They just got a copy of it. Mayor Sica said that we are getting more money than we were supposed to. Councilmewber Failace asked if that was the only change. Mayor Sica said yes. Councilmember Failace asked about a section of the agreement regarding bonds and short term notes. Mayor Sica said that we don't have to do that. Borough going to un its, i t Attorney Hedesh agreed. I f we were build these two-hundred sixty permits us to bond for that. 9 JUNE 20, 1996 cm1MENTS CON'T. That contract was approved by DCA and it outlines the responsibilities of us and them and it also gives us the legal parameters how to operate under this. All that is saying is that you may bond to build a housing unit. Readington drafts the contract under the auspices of the DCA. It's approved by the State. Mayor Sica said that he didn't event want this resolution on tonight. He preferred to discuss it with the Council. Borough Attorney Hedesh noted that we got a letter from them asking us to please put it on. He said that he doesn't like to hesitate with two million dollars at stake. Councilmember 0' Brien asked if the original Memorandum of Understanding is part of this Agreement. Mayor Sica explained that the Memorandum of Understanding said that we were going to do it as soon as it was approved. Basically, what we're doing tonight is just memorializing what we did last year. Borough Attorney Hedesh explained that the Memorandum of Understanding starts the process. Then they prepare a contract and send it to DCA. DCA approves the language and makes modifications. DCA has approved this contract and told them to get it to us to get it approved. The Memorandum of Understanding, in effect, after the contract is signed, is just another piece of paper.
