Resolution No. 17-234 is the original incentive agreement between the PAEDC and KLV. PAEDC agreed to provide a conditional grant to KLV in the amount of $326 , 000 . The agreement contained various milestones which are attached hereto. The milestones required that the company achieve the employment of 7 full-time permanent employees that are Port Arthur residents with an average annualized payroll of $385 , 000 and completion of construction of a permanent facility at the Highway 73 Business Park. Therefore, pursuant to Resolution No. 18-398 , the City Council approved a purchase agreement between the PAEDC and KLV for the purchase of land in the Hwy 73 Business Park in the amount of $175, 000 . In this resolution, PAEDC board is requesting that the City of Port Arthur authorize an amendment to the milestones . The PAEDC board has requested that the provision related to the purchase of land be removed from the milestones . The legal department recommends that the City Council carefully review the attached milestones and determine whether the deletion of the land purchase is an appropriate change to the incentive agreement. The resolution requires the City Council to determine whether the amended milestone schedule meets the requirements for a conditional grant or loan. At a later date, the PAEDC will request that you consider rescinding its purchase agreement with KLV. All of the above referenced factors need to be taken into consideration prior to acting on this request .
