WHEREAS, PROCTOR AND GAMBLE, INC. ("Applicant") has applied for an Industrial Tax Exemption ("ITE") and seeks approval of the BCI and the Governor for a contract granting an exemption;

and

WHEREAS, Executive Order JBE-16-26 has provided standards upon which the Governor will approve contracts for the exemption as being in the best interest of the State. To this end, the Executive Order sets forth parameters for approval which include job creation, percentage of the exemption granted and the term of the exemption and provides for the guidance of the State of Louisiana Department of Economic Development ("LED") in addressing these issues. It further provides for local review and approval by the relevant parish and/or municipal council, school board and sheriff;and

WHEREAS, Executive Order JBE-16-26 mandates each exemption contract approved by the Governor shall include as Exhibit"A", a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement between the LED and the Applicant, to the ITE contract between the BCI and the Applicant, which provides for the creation or retention of jobs and provides for the exercise of the option in the Louisiana Constitution for the term or percentage of the parish ad valorem tax exemption granted in the contract, and provides for the reduction or loss of the exemption based upon the Applicant's compliance with the contract.

WHEREAS, Executive Order JBE-16-26 further requires this board, together with the other required local governmental entities to signify consent to the terms of the exemption by resolution and the Sheriff of this parish shall signify consent to the terms of the exemption by letter. Executive Order JBE-16-26 further provides the resolutions of approval shall be attached as Exhibit "B" to the ITE contract between the BCI and the Applicant; and

WHEREAS, the Applicant and the LED have advised certain terms and conditions forming Exhibit"A" to the ITE contract pending approval before the BCI have been reached and have conveyed the same to this board, and thus this matter is now ready for a determination of approval of this board as required by Executive Order JBE-16- 26,

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, upon consideration of the foregoing and the public discussion held this day, this board approves the terms of the ITE contract based on the inclusion of the following terms and conditions into Exhibit "A" (the Cooperative Endeavor Agreement between the LED, and the Applicant) to the ITE contract between the BCI and the Applicant with respect to its manufacturing facility located in Pineville,Rapides Parish, Louisiana:

c. New jobs and new annual payroll (excluding benefits and contract labor) at the Pineville, LA facility at the following levels: 26 net new jobs with an annual average payroll of $1.3 million.

In the event APPLICANT fails to complete its project, or fails to timely meet its performance objectives and/or job creation requirements, including but not limited to the retention or creation of the number of jobs or the achieving or maintaining of the payroll amounts within the time and for the term agreed, as specified in its award agreement; if APPLICANT ceases its operation, reduces its employment numbers or payroll amounts to less than 90% of the required amounts; any one of those events or circumstances shall constitute a default under the award agreement, and the Rapides Parish School Board shall have at its option and sole discretion the right to recover from APPLICANT all previously exempted taxes that but for this agreement would have been due commencing with the earliest date of the event or circumstances constituting a default under this agreement, and/or to withdraw or modify the exemption for future years. If APPLICANT ceases operation at its Pineville, LA facility during the terms of this agreement the Rapides Parish School Board shall have at its option and sole discretion the right to recover from APPLICANT all previously exempted taxes that but for the agreement would have been due during the period of this agreement.

The Rapides Parish School Board further authorizes the LED, on behalf of the BCI, to include this resolutionin Exhibit "B" to the ITE contract between the BCI and the applicant.

            THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Rapides Parish School Board for a copy of this resolution to be forwarded to the BCI and the LED.

            AND the resolution was declared adopted on this, April 10, 2018.
