RE: Real and Personal Property Tax Abatement Petitions for:
MC CORMICK AND COMPANY, INCORPORATED
Dear Council Member Rouse:
On July 26, 2010, the Common Council approved Designating Resolutions for real and personal
property tax abatements for the subject firm. The property will be located at 3425 West Lathrop Drive.
At the time the Designating Resolutions were considered the firm had not completed the list of
construction contractors and suppliers for its proposed project as called for in the real property petition
forms. In approving the Designating Resolution for real property it was noted that the firm could
qualify for up to anine-year abatement term. The firm agreed to provide the required information prior
to the Council considering its real property Confirming Resolution. Consideration of the Confirming
Resolutions for both tax abatements was held in abeyance pending receipt of the required information.
McCormick has now completed the list of contractors and suppliers for construction of the addition and
submitted it to me. I have reviewed the information and found that the firm qualifies for aneight-year
real property tax abatement term. However, due to an increase in customer demand McCormick had to
enlarge the project. A summary tax abatement report on the revised project follows:
Project Description: The project originally entailed the construction and equipping of a 50,000 square
foot addition to their manufacturing facility. The cost of construction was estimated at $5,010,913 and
equipment procurement was estimated at $875,173 for a total project cost of $5,886,086. The
equipment includes fork lifts, coolers, racking, computers and furniture and fixtures. The addition is
intended to house a distribution operation for the products McCormick makes. The products include
condiments (ketchup, mustard, salad dressing, etc.) for major restaurant chains. During initial
discussions the company was also considering alternate sites in Michigan, Illinois and other states to
locate the distribution operation. After the Designating Resolutions were approved the company
selected South Bend. Since then an increase in business volume from their main customer has
caused the company to increase the size of the project by adding 25,000 more square feet to the addition
at a cost of $884,071 and providing more equipment at a cost of $487,000. The revised cost of
construction is now estimated at $5,894,984 and the equipment procurement is estimated at $1,362,173
for a new total project cost of $7,257,157. However, the goals and objectives of the project remain the
same as those originally presented for the Designating Resolutions.

RE: Tax Abatement for McCormick and Company
January 10, 2011
Page 2
Based on an eight-year term the total estimated real property taxes to be abated on the revised project
are $784,181. Total additional real property taxes to be paid as a result of the revised project during the
eight-year abatement period are estimated at $868,820. For the equipment, the total estimated personal
property taxes to be abated on the revised project during the personal property five-year abatement term
are $10,073. Total additional personal property taxes to be paid as a result of the revised project during
that same term are estimated at $103,084.
Employment Impact: It is estimated that the total project will create five (5) new, permanent, full-time
jobs within the first year of the project representing a new annual payroll of approximately $177,247.
The project will retain one hundred twenty-three (123) existing permanent, full-time jobs (of which 30
are minority employees) with an annual payroll of $6,288,998.
Abatement Qualification: A review of the Tax Abatement Ordinance No. 9394-03 finds that the
Petitioner meets the qualifications fora (5) five-year personal property tax abatement under section 2-
84.2, Tangible Personal Property Tax Abatement. In addition, a review of that ordinance finds the
Petitioner meets the qualifications for aneight-year (8) real property tax abatement under Section 2-82,
Industrial Development, City-wide General Standards.
Revised Statement of Benefit (SB-1) forms together with a letter of explanation from McCormick are
attached. In addition, copies of the Public Benefit Points Summary used to calculate the real property
abatement term and the estimated Real Property Tax Abatement Schedule and Personal Property Tax
Abatement Schedule are attached. A representative of the firm will be available to meet with the
Council's Community and Economic Development Committee at its afternoon meeting on Monday,
January 24, 2011, and with the full council at its public meeting on that same date.
Copies of the original staff reports and tax abatement petitions are available upon request.
Should you or any of the other Council members have any questions concerning the report, or need
additional information, please call me at 235-5835.

To Whom It May Concern:
McCormick and Company will be increasing the size of the distribution center expansion
located at 3425 West Lathrop Drive; South Bend, Indiana 46628 from 50,000 squaze foot
to 75,000 square foot.
The increase in the distribution center size is due to an increase in business volume from
our main customer. The extra space is needed for the increased inventory that is required
to support our customers.
The cost for the added square footage is approximately $1.4 million. This includes an
increase of $487,000 in personal property (racking system) as well as an increase of
$884,071 in real property construction. This increases the total construction project cost
to $7.2 million. We expect to begin using the distribution center on June 1, 2011.
Thank in advance for your support on this project. If you have questions, please feel free
to contact me at 410-771-7381.

RE: Commercial Real Property & Personal Property Tax Abatement Petitions for:
MC CORMICK AND COMPANY, INC. (Bill Nos. 10-28 & 10-29)
Dear Council Member Rouse:
Consideration of the Designating Resolutions for the subject petitions was scheduled for Monday,
June14, 2010. However, prior to that meeting the Petitioner requested additional time to review
their petitions and reconsider some of the projections related to their project that they made.
Consideration of the Designating Resolutions was continued indefinitely until further notice
would be received from McCormick. The company has completed its review and submitted
revised petitions.
The only change made on both petitions is the number of employees to be retained was reduced
from 125 to 123. However, the total annual wages increased from $5,802,988 to $6,288,998.
The size of the project has not changed and the total estimated costs for the construction and for
the equipment portions of the project have remained unchanged. In addition, because the
Petitioner is still in the early stages of its planning process it does not have a firm list of
construction contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. Therefore, a range of public benefit points
and years was estimated for the length of the company's real property tax abatement term. The
estimated points and the range of years have not changed. Finally, neither the estimated taxes to
be paid nor the estimated taxes to be abated have changed for either petition.
A copy of the revised petitions and updated versions of my staff reports are attached for the two
tax abatements. A representative of the Petitioner will be available to meet with the Council's
Community and Economic Development Committee at its afternoon meeting on Monday, July 12,
2010 and with the full Council at its public meeting on that same date.
