Vestal Steel Specialties Inc. The request met all basic
requirements of our Guidelines and Criteria.
Vestal Steel Specialties Inc. is a steel fabrication company
currently located in San Antonio. Mr. Walter Vestal, the
owner, purchased a 56 acre tract on FM 3009 some time ago for
eventual development, with the thought of moving his company.
We have had discussions with Mr. Vestal over the last two
years.
The Commission, after reviewing his request,
recommended approval of a 50.82% tax abatement
improvements for a period of six years.
unanimously
on capital
In order to approve this abatement, we must also create a
Reinvestment Zone, which will require a Public Hearing. The
Public Hearing has been tentatively scheduled for 3 October,
1995.
Attached to this memo are the ordinance for the Reinvestment
Zone, the ordinance approving the tax abatement, the Vestal
application, an evaluation of the request by staff, and a draft
tax abatement agreement.

Evaluation of Tax Abatement for Vestal Steel
I received a request for Tax Abatement from
Specialties Inc. on 17 July, 1995. The request
and found to be in error. The corrected version
and accepted on 20 July, 1995.
Vestal Steel
was reviewed
was received
The Vestal project consists of a list of capital projects,
which include, streets, water line, and a building for a total
capital improvement value of $730,000. In addition, Mr.
Vestal estimates a payroll in the City of Schertz of $493,000,
and sales tax revenues to the city of $4,000.
Vestal Steel is engaged in all manners of "steel work,"
however, fabricated structural steel is their main product.
The proposed site is within a 56 acre tract on FM 3009, (next
to Technos) owned by Mr. Vestal. Of note is the property for
this project is currently "Ag" exempt, and will be removed from
exempt roles upon platting.
The abatement percentages below for this request have been
calculated based on the existing tax abatement ordinance with
no variances.
