Agenda - 09-10-19 Item 1 - Public Hearing Regarding an Economic Development Recruitment Incentive for Medline Industries, Inc. (Project Tomorrow)

Browse Search

9 concentrates efforts on improving performance across five key areas of environmental and human health: energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, CO2 emissions, materials selection, sustainable site development and water savings. The facility will also include a significant amount of solar panels installed on the roof. (For example, Medline's 1.1 million sq. ft. facility in Tracy, CA employs rooftop solar panels that generate 35% of that operation's annual electricity needs). In addition, Orange County's Planning & Inspections Department staff will administer the County's sedimentation control and storm water management regulations. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: (1) Receive the proposal to consider the issuance of incentives to a private company for the recruitment & expansion of Medline Industries, Inc.'s proposed facility to be located in Orange County; (2) Open and conduct the Public Hearing, and receive BOCC and public comments; (3) Close the Public Hearing; and (4) Approve the "performance-based" economic development incentive agreement between Orange County and the Company, Medline Industries, Inc., subject to final review by the County Attorney, and authorize the Chair to sign the agreement on behalf of the County.
