SUBJECT:
Amkor, City of Peoria License Agreement 

Purpose:

Discussion and possible action to adopt RES. 2025-93 approving a license agreement to Amkor Technologies to enter and conduct early construction activities on 104-acre parcel in Core 2 prior to closing escrow on a land exchange agreement.
Summary:

City and Amkor Technology have worked collaboratively in an effort to develop Amkor's advanced semiconductor packaging and testing facility in Peoria.  Supporting Amkor's project schedule remains a key consideration in the ability to transition the facility from the original location to the new location in the Peoria Innovation Core.

 

Utilizing the development authorities granted to the City in the Participation and Infrastructure Contract associated with ASLD Sale No. 52-125421, the establishment of a licensing agreement permits Amkor to conduct ground breaking prior to escrow closure of the Exchange Agreement.

 

The resolution also provides authority for City Staff to approve an Ingress/Egress Temporary Construction Easement providing Amkor temporary access to the property until a future, more permanent construction road is designed and constructed, and until the final public roadway accessing the property is complete.

 

Amkor must still apply for and be granted all required local, county and state construction permits before beginning construction.

Previous Actions/Background:

On August 28th, Council will also discuss and considered a Property Exchange Agreement and Economic Development Agreement Amendment #3 prior to taking a vote on this matter.
Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommend Council adopt RES. 2025-93 approving a license agreement to Amkor Technologies to enter and conduct early construction activities on 104-acre parcel in Core 2 prior to closing escrow on a land exchange agreement.
