3. $1,000,000 Development Loan made upon substantial completion of the project to be

b. At least $10,500,000, the REV Grant is terminated.

and require 10 new jobs to be created
2. Authorizing a Redevelopment Completion Grant and Development Loan that are not

Discussion Points
1. According to the Tax Collector’s website, there are $194,321.73 of outstanding
nuisance and demolition liens reflected as being owed on the property located at 1341
Pearl St. (the address for one of the three parcels in this development). These liens
appear to be associated with the property prior to the Developer’s ownership. The
Office of General Counsel has determined that the nuisance liens totaling $65,213.65
did not survive the sale of the property to the current owner and should have been
reflected as cleared on the City’s records. While the demolition lien totaling
$129,108.08 did survive the sale of the property to the current owner, the Administration

Finance Committee Agenda - Revised Marked June 16, 2020
will be taking the steps to administratively settle the lien to $0 pursuant to the authority
granted under Section 518.145(d) of the City’s Ordinance Code.
2. While the Developer is now current on all property taxes related to the three parcels
that make up the Project site, the Developer has paid property taxes late on these three
parcels in prior years.
3. While the $1 million grant and $1 million loan will not be provided until the project is
substantially complete, these incentives are currently not funded and will have to be
funded in future legislation.
Amendments
Attach Revised Redevelopment Agreement to:
1. Adjust language concerning security of Development Loan to clarify that City will be
in a second position after Developer has secured its final financing
2. Add default language for Completion Grant and Development Loan
a. Section 10.2 – If Developer invests less than $14,000,000, but greater than
$10,500,000, the Completion Grant will be proportionately reduced.
b. Section 10.2 – If Developer fails to invest at least $10,500,000, the Completion Grant
and Development Loan are both terminated.
3. Add language requiring Developer to be current on Development Loan payments to
continue to receive REV Grant
4. Add language allowing the City to offset any amounts owed by Developer for any due
and outstanding fees, fines or liens owed to the City against amounts owed by the City
under this agreement
