R ESOLUTION R EGARDING THE S UPPORT OF A J OB C REATION F UND A PPLICATION IN
C ONNECTION WITH C ANTEL M EDICAL
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth, Minnesota (the “City”), desires to assist Cantel Medical, a
Medical Device Manufacturing Company, which is proposing to acquire a facility in the City; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth understands that Cantel Medical, through and with the support
of the City, intends to submit to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development
an application for an award and/or rebate from the Job Creation Fund Program; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth held a city council meeting on October 9, 2018, to consider this
matter.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF Plymouth,
Minnesota, that, after due consideration, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Plymouth,
Minnesota, adopts the following findings of fact related to the project proposed by Cantel Medical and
its application for an award and/or rebate from the Job Creation Fund Program and express their
approval.
The City Council hereby finds and adopts the reasons and facts supporting the following findings of fact
for the approval of the Job Creation Fund Program application:
1. The expansion of Cantel Medical in Plymouth is in the public interest because it will prevent the
movement of current or future operations to locations outside Minnesota, result in increased
employment of 101 jobs in Minnesota, and preserve or enhance the state and local tax base by
investing $6.2 million into renovating a vacant building.
2. Cantel Medical has a number of locations around the United States that would be viable options
for this project. The availability of an award from the Job Creation Fund Program provides
incentive for the company to select this location that is required to repurpose this currently
vacant building.
3. The use of the building is consistent with the intended use and general plan for the
development of the City of Plymouth.
4. The proposed project will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the
City as a whole, for the reuse of the building by private enterprise.
APPROVED by the City Council on this 9th day of October, 2018.
