BASED UPON THE ABOVE, IT IS THEREFORE RESOLVED, by the Common Council of the City of Carmel as follows: 1. The application for economic revitalization area designation relative to the Project was filed in proper form and the Statement of Benefits — Real Estate Improvements and Statement of Benefits — Personal Property, which were filed as of May 31, 2019, are hereby approved by the Council. 2. The Project Site is located in an area of the City where municipal services are provided and no additional infrastructure will be necessitated by the Project. 3. There is evidence provided which establishes that the subject real estate meets with "undesirable for normal development" criterion of Indiana Code 6-1.1-12.1-1 due to the following conditions: a. a lack of development, cessation of growth, or other factors that have impaired values or prevented normal development of the Project Site; and b. the proposed use of the Project Site as a corporate headquarters for the Company is consistent with the site's existing zoning and represents a superior use for the Project Site. 4. Evidence has been submitted and considered which tends to establish that the Project will further and promote municipal development objectives by expansion of the property tax base through the construction of the Real Property Improvements and the purchase and installation of the Eligible Personal Property. 5. The Council hereby designates the Project Site as an Economic Revitalization Area for purposes of establishing a deduction to the assessed value of the Real Property Improvements and the Eligible Personal Property acquired and installed within the Real Property Improvements, in each case located upon the Project Site, subject to the adoption of a confirmatory resolution by the Council. 6. Based on the information in the Statement of Benefits - Real Estate Improvements, other information available to the Council, the foregoing findings and the factors listed in I.C. 6-1.1-12.1-17, the Council hereby approves and allows the Company real property tax abatement deductions pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-12.1-4 for a period of ten(10) years. Pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-12.1-17, the Council hereby approves and establishes that the percentage deduction for each year of the ten(10) year period shall be eighty percent(80%). 7. Based on the information in the Statement of Benefits - Personal Property, other information available to the Council, the foregoing findings and the factors listed in I.C. 6-1.1- 12.1-17, the Council hereby approves and allows the Company personal property tax abatement deductions pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-12.1-4.5 for a period of ten(10) years for the assessed value of all Eligible Personal Property installed at the Project Site on or prior to January 1, 2025. Pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-12.1-17, the Council hereby approves and establishes that the percentage deduction for each year of the ten(10) year period shall be eighty percent(80%). 8. In support of the deductions contained in this Resolution, the Council fmds as follows: a. The estimated costs of the Real Property Improvements and the Eligible Personal Property investment presented by the Company are reasonable for projects of this nature. b. The estimate of the number of individuals who will be employed or whose employment will be retained by the Company can be reasonably expected to result from the proposed Project. c. The annual salaries for the individuals who will be employed or whose employment will be retained by the Company can reasonably be expected to result from the proposed Project. d. Based on the increased assessed valuation and the expansion of the employment base within the City of Cannel, the benefits to the City are sufficient to justify the granting of the deduction described in Sections 6 and 7 above. 9. The terms of this Resolution are subject to the adoption of a Confirmatory Resolution confirming the terms and conditions herein after a public hearing to be held on [December 2, 2019, at 6:00 p.m.], in the Council Chamber Room located at One Civic Square, Carmel, Indiana 46032. 10.
