B. (Delay of Inducement Package Initiation) in the October 2019 Performance Agreement (Attachment 1). BACKGROUND: On September 12, 2019, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Orange County and the City of Mebane jointly announced a decision by Medline Industries to build a 1.2 million square-foot LEED certified distribution center in Mebane, Orange County. Medline delivers medical devices and supplies to hospitals, independent physician practices, critical care units, surgical centers, home healthcare and EMS providers. Medline manufactures and distributes more than 550,000 products to more than 90 countries. Previously, during a special meeting on September 10, 2019, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing and approved a Performance Agreement with Medline Industries. That Agreement requires the company to (1) add 250 new employee positions, and (2) complete a $65.3 million investment by the end of the first five years. These two targets are to be achieved between an assumed commencement date of no later than July 31, 2020, and by or before the January 31, 2026 termination date. These numbers were anticipated to be achieved by year 5 of the investment period, but according to the Orange County Tax Office, the 2022 Real Property and Business Property Investment exceeds $95 million. Additionally, Medline's October 2022 employment exceeded the 250 employee goal. 2 Medline experienced an unexpected delay in receipt of its certificate of occupancy not under the company's direct control, resulting in a delay of the commencement date. This unexpected delay exceeded 12 months in duration and caused the company's revised investment and job creation schedule to face an unrealistic schedule in relation to its 2019 agreement with the County. In accordance with the Performance Agreement's Section 6. Remedy; B. Delay of Inducement Package Initiation, Medline submitted a request to the County on November 19, 2020, within the timeframe outlined in the Performance Agreement, requesting an extension. A Contract Amendment is necessary to formalize the new December 31, 2021 deadline for the commencement date and January 31, 2027 agreement end date. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to the County associated with extending the start date of the 5-year incentive contract with Medline Industries, since the County's Performance Agreement was previously approved by the Board on September 10, 2019 following a public hearing. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to this item: • GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their dependents. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive and review the County's original Performance Agreement with Medline Industries, LP, and approve and authorize the Chair to sign the contract amendment (Attachment 2). This action will approve the extension request made by Medline Industries and allowed by Section "6 B" (Delay of Inducement Package Initiation) in the Performance Agreement, making the new commencement deadline December 31, 2021 and termination date January 31, 2027. 3 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA ORANGE COUNTY PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ORANGE COUNTY,NC AND MEDLINE INDUSTRIES,INC.
