DATE: September 1, 2005
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - September 8, 2005
ITEM: 11.H.2. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Economic
Development Agreement with IKEA Property, Inc.
Department: Administration Department
Staff Person: Jim Nuse, City Manager
David Kautz, Assistant City Manager/Chief Financial Officer
Steve Sheets, City Attorney
Justification:
The Economic Development Program Agreement enables the company to establish a store in our local
market. The company provides quality jobs in that pay is competitive and full benefits including
medical coverage are provided to employees working more than 20 hours per week. Additionally, the
company is a destination retailer, bringing in customers from greater distances and providing needed
diversity to our local sales tax base without over -burdening local government services.
Funding:
Cost: N/A
Source of funds: Program Payments will be made from the 1% general sales tax generated by the
retailer
Outside Resources: N/A
Background Information:
In connection with IKEA's recent announcement to open a retail store in Round Rock at the southeast
corner of IH 35 and Chandler Road the City has negotiated terms for an Economic Development
Program Agreement with the company. IKEA is the world's leading furniture and home furnishings
retailer and will open a 252,000 square foot retail store that provides 300 jobs as well as a 250 seat
restaurant.
The Economic Development Program Agreement provides financial incentive to the company to
establish a store in our local market. The company provides quality jobs in that pay is competitive
and full benefits including medical coverage are provided to employees working more than 20 hours
per week. Additionally, the company is a destination retailer, bringing in customers from greater
distances and providing needed diversity to our local sales tax base without over -burdening local
government services.
In summary, the agreement provides that the City will make program payments to IKEA equal to
100% of the 1% general sales tax derived from annual gross taxable sales made by the retailer. The
economic development agreement between the City and IKEA will cease upon the earlier of IKEA
receiving a total of $5,000,000 from the Economic Development Agreement and the Tax Abatement
Agreement or the expiration of a 7 -year incentive term.

Government Code, but subject to the conditions set out here, make quarterly EIPs to IKEA
within thirty (30) days after IKEA submits to the City the report and data for such quarter as
required in Section 4.4 above. The EIPs are to be calculated as follows:
(a) Calculations will be based upon sales subject to the City's one
percent (1%) general sales tax;
(b) The EIPs will be an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%)
of the One Cent Sales Tax Revenues generated for the immediately preceding
calendar quarter;
(c) The Maximum Amount of the EIPs will be $5,000,000.00 less the
value of abated taxes received by IKEA pursuant to the Tax Abatement
Agreement.
5.1.2 Changes in Law. If, during the term of this Agreement, state law
applicable to municipal taxation changes the form of sales taxes, and as a result, the EIPs differ
from the amount which would have been paid to IKEA under the laws in effect as of the
Effective Date of this Agreement, then the City shall adjust the E%Ps using whatever other taxes
and revenues generated by the Project that are legally available to City which can be allocated to
the EIPs so as to achieve the same economic benefits to both parties as would have resulted had
the law not changed. However, this section is not intended to require the City to use funds from
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AGREEMENT 3 CITY OF ROUND ROCK / IKEA PROPERTY, INC.
4019866v.6
other sources which are not within the City's discretion to allocate to the Project, so as to achieve
the same economic benefits to both parties as would have resulted had the law not changed.
5.1.3 Payments Subject to Future Appropriations. Although certain payments
under this Agreement are calculated based on a formula applied to sales tax revenues, this
Agreement shall not be construed as a commitment, issue or obligation of any specific taxes or
tax revenues for payment to IKEA. All payments by the City under this Agreement are subject
to the City's appropriation of funds for such payments in the budget year for which they are
made. The payments to be made to IKEA, if paid, shall be made solely from annual
appropriations from the general funds of the City or from such other funds of the City as may be
legally set aside for the implementation of Article III, Section 52a of the Texas Constitution or
Chapter 380 of the Local Government Code or any other economic development or financing
program authorized by statute or home rule powers of the City under applicable Texas law,
subject to any applicable limitations or procedural requirements. In the event that the City does
not appropriate funds in any fiscal year for payments due under this Agreement, such failure
shall not be considered a default under Section 6.3, and the City shall not be liable to IKEA for
such payments otherwise due during such fiscal year; however, the term of this Agreement shall
be extended one (1) year for each year the City fails to appropriate funds for payments otherwise
due under this Agreement. IKEA shall also have the right but not the obligation to rescind this
Agreement. To the extent there is a conflict between this paragraph and any other language or
covenant in this Agreement, this paragraph shall control.
5.1.4 City Accounting. The City shall maintain complete books and records
showing sales taxes remitted to the City by the State and disbursements of income incentive
grant payments, which books and records shall be deemed complete if kept in accordance with
generally acceptable accounting principles as applied to Texas municipalities. In addition, the
City shall prepare an annual report documenting accrued interest, any carry -forward of accrued
interest, unamortized balances, and amortized balances. Such books and records shall be
available for examination by the duly authorized officers or agents of IKEA during normal
business hours upon request made not less than ten (10) business days prior to the date of such
examination. The City shall maintain such books and records throughout the term of this
Agreement and for four (4) years thereafter.
5.1.5 Utility Services for the Property. The City shall provide water and
wastewater to IKEA for the Project, subject to the same fees and service charges assessed for
water and waste water to similarly situated properties.
5.1.6 Permitting. The City shall cooperate with IKEA to expeditiously process
all City permit applications and City inspections.
6. Miscellaneous.
6.1 Mutual Assistance. The City and IKEA will do all things reasonably necessary
or appropriate to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and to aid and assist each
other in carrying out such terms and provisions in order to put each other in the same economic
condition contemplated by this Agreement regardless of any changes in public policy, the law, or

conspicuously indicates the City's intention to terminate this Agreement, the City may terminate
