AGENDA ITEM: *Dysart Unified School District Letter of Support for FTZ No. 277, Summit Business Park and Skyway Business Park

Action/Consent X Action/Discussion Information Supporting Data X

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) provide national/regional distribution centers with a competitive environment in which to conduct business. The Arizona Department of Revenue Property Tax Division classifies FTZ's with a property tax assessment ratio of5% (which is lower than non FTZ properties).

The City of Surprise has provided a letter to the developer in support of the Summit Business Park and the Skyway Business Park located across from Dysart High School, west of the southwest corner of Cactus Road and Dysart Road. We have been asked to provide a similar letter of support for the FTZ.

Attached is a copy of the City of Surprise letter and our proposed letter to be signed by Dr. Gail Pletnick, Superintendent.

BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:

It is recommended the Governing Board approve the Summit Business Park and Skyway Business Park FTZ and authorize Dr. Gail Pletuick, Superintendent, to sign the Letter of Support.

Mr. Arthur B. Othon Chairman ofGMFTZ, Inc. WESTMARC 14100 N. 83rd Avenue, Suite 150 Peorill, Arizona 85381

RE: Greater Maricopa Foreign Trade Zone, Inc. and Summit Business Park and Skyway Business Park

Dear Mr. Othon,

City Manager'f:l Office 16000 N. Civic Center Plaza

$urprise, AZ 8537 4 Ph 623-222-i i 00

Fax 623-222-1021 TrY: 623-222-1002

On behalf of the City of Surprise I would like to offer my continued support of FTZ No. 277, as we believe that the Zone is an excellent vehicle for attracting, expanding and maintaining business opporttmities within our community.

It is our understanding that Summit Business Park (north of Cactus Road and west of Dysart Road) and Skyway Business Park (south of Cactus Road and west of Solar Canyon Way) are working with a user who Is proposing a development on 20 - 60 acres of land. In order to better secure and capture new business opportunities, Summit and Skyway are seeking advance assurance of the FTZ tax ramifications which might ensue should the user select and build on one of the two sites. This is exciting news for our commtmity and it is our hope that the user will locate at one of these two industrial sites and bring employmentopportunities to our community.

This letter will serve as recognition of our policy to support an FTZ tax classification for a Zone user of 20 - 60 acres that enters into an agreement for leasing or purchasing land and constructing buildings for operations. The City of Surprise authorized me, per R.:;solution 2014-65, to approve any qualified FTZ applicant seeking to locate at Summit Business Park (APN 501-38-986/501-38-987501-38-988) or Skyway Business Park (APN 501-45-882). Applicants may be qualified by me if they represent a project generating city property taxes in the City of Surprise that are greater than or equal to the most recent Maricopa Cotmty Board of Supervisors certified tax roll at the subject/selected location as further described in Resolution 2014-65. The Zone Applicant may use this letter as evidence of our tax support for this site. This FTZ support letter will become void for Summit if it is unable to secure a 20 - 60 acre land agreement with a userby February I, 2015 and this FTZ support letter will become void for Skyway if it is tmable to secure a 20-60 acre land agreement with a user by Febmary 1, 2015.

Sincerely,

Bob Wingenroth City Manager

Dysart Unified School District No. 89 Nathaniel Dysart Education Center

RE: Project Heart Letter of Support

To Whom It May Concern:

The Dysart Unified School District is supportive of the Greater Maricopa's FTZ. No. 277 project. We believe that the Zone is an excellent vehicle for attracting, expanding and maintaining business opportunities within our community.

It is our understanding that Summit Business Park (north of Cactus Road and west of Dysart Road) and Skyway Business Park (south of Cactus Road and west of Solar Canyon Way) are working with a user who is proposing a development on 20- 60 acres of land. In order to better secure and capture new business opportunities, Summit and Skyway are seeking advance assurance of the FTZ tax ramifications which might ensue should the user select and build on one of the two sites. This is exciting news and it is our hope the user will locate in Arizona and bring employment opportunities.

We are completely aware of the fact that FTZ designation for a bona fide user allows tax reclassification to Class 6, and we are comfortable with the new revenues that come from such classification. The Zone Applicant may use this letter as evidence of our tax support for Summit Business Park (APN 501-38-986/501-38-987501-38-988) or Skyway Business Park {APN 501-45-882).

It is our desire to support FTZ designation at locations within the communities we serve with the best opportunity for economic development and job creation. This FTZ support letter will become void for Summit if it is unable to secure a 20 - 60 acre land agreement with a user by February 1, 2015 and this FTZ support letter will become void for Skyway if it is unable to secure a 20 - 60 acre land agreement with a user by February 1, 2015.

Sincerely,

Gail Pletnick, Ed. D. Superintendent

AREAS OF CHALLENGE

• Limited technology funding (capital expenditures):

• Delayed technology refresh schedule- Currently ~4500 devices are 9+ years old.

Negatively impacted technology use in the classroom - Old devices take too long to log into

the network therefore wasting valuable instructional time.

• Slowed down planning for infrastructure upgrades such as WAN connections, Disaster

Recovery Plan and site network support.
