Whereas, Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate #2005-388 for BMD Group/E-Motive was originally approved by the Rochester Hills City Council on July 27, 2005 and went into effect on December 31, 2005, and
Whereas, Skybird Products, Inc. has acquired the property at 3098 Research Dr. and applied to the City of Rochester Hills for a transfer of Certificate #2005-388 on August 7, 2007, and
Whereas, the Rochester Hills City Council held a Public Hearing regarding this request at its Workshop Meeting of September 5, 2007 in which the applicant, taxing authorities and all interested parties were given the opportunity to be heard, and
Whereas, the Rochester Hills City Council has reviewed the application and made the following findings:
a. The granting of the Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate, considered together with the aggregate amount of Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificates previously granted and currently in force, does not have the effect of substantially impeding the operation of the City of Rochester Hills or impairing the financial soundness of a taxing unit which levies an ad valorem property tax in the City of Rochester Hills in which the facility is located.
b. The project is the transfer of existing Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate #2005-388, originally approved as a speculative building, which also has never been occupied and has existed for less than nine (9) years.
c. Completion of the facility is calculated to, and will at the time of issuance of the certificate, have the reasonable likelihood to create employment.
d. Completion of the facility does not constitute merely the addition of machinery and equipment for the purpose of increasing productive capacity, but rather is primarily for the purpose and will primarily have the effect of providing a new speculative facility on industrial property.
e. The construction of the industrial facility meets the objectives of job creation within the established industrial corridor of the City of Rochester Hills.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that pursuant to Section 21, (1) of Act 198 of Public Acts of 1974, as amended, the City Council of the City of Rochester Hills hereby approves the transfer of Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate #2005-388 for the remaining period of four (4) years for real property only, and
Be It Further Resolved, that the accompanying agreement between Skybird Products, Inc. and the City of Rochester Hills is hereby approved and is to be sent to the Department of Treasury and the State Tax Commission along with this resolution, and
Be It Finally Resolved, that the Mayor is authorized to sign the agreement after review by the City Attorney's office as to form.
