Dear Dennis:
This is the last contact the City will make to urge your client, IBM, to submit a tax
abatement application for the service center located on the southwest comer of Beltline
Road and Airline Drive. As mentioned to you in earlier telephone discussions, the
application review process is lengthy, and the applicant should allow 4 months to secure a
tax abatement from the City. The tax abatement agreement document must be approved
by City Council no later than December 8, 1998.
For your information, the Economic Development Partnership Board, which reviews
economic development related matters including tax abatement applications, will not
meet in July and August. The Board meets the first Wednesdays of each month. We
recommend that IBM submit to staff the completed tax abatement application by August
14, 1998. This will allow staff to review the application and mn a cost/benefit analysis
before placing the item on the September 2, 1998 Economic Development Partnership
agenda .......
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter. Please call, if you have any
questions regarding the process.

Isabelle Moro, AICP
City Planner
