Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Phoenix regarding an expanded special purpose foreign trade zone.
Background
Conair is developing 45 acres of the property it owns near the intersection of Glendale Avenue and Glen Harbor Boulevard near the Glendale Municipal Airport, and the parties entered into a development agreement concerning the project in December 2015. Conair wishes to include the 45 acres of property in the adjacent foreign trade zone in which Conair has operated its existing facility since 1992. Glendale must enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Phoenix in order to expand the existing foreign trade zone to include the new 45-acre parcel that Conair developed.
Budget and Financial Impacts
There is no budgetary or financial impact to the City of Glendale in the event Glendale enters into an intergovernmental agreement with Phoenix to expand the existing foreign trade zone.
