6'1.00'WI (\5`1) til
2. Improv ents by Cr• mp =any. Company shall construct a new
approximate 15,000 sq. ft. commercial building, and related parking and landscaping
(the "Improvements"), all of which shall be located on the Property. The Improvements
shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable City, state, and federal building
codes and shall comply with all applicable City ordinances and other applicable law. It
is contemplated that the Improvements will have a total project cost of approximately
$2,000,000.00. The Property, the Improvements, and all site preparation and
development -related work to make the Property usable for Company's purposes as
contemplated by this Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Project".
3. Timeliness of Constructio . The parties agree that Developer's
commitment to undertake the Project and to construct the Improvements in a timely
manner constitutes a material inducement for the City to enter this Agreement, and that
without said commitment City would not have done so. Developer must substantially
complete construction of the Improvements by December 31, 2015. If construction has
commenced within 4 months of the approval of this Agreement, and is stopped and/or
delayed as a result of an act of God, war, civil disturbance, court order, labor dispute,
fire, or other cause beyond the reasonable control of Developer, the requirement that
construction is to be substantially completed by December 31, 2015 shall be tolled for a
period of time equal to the period of such stoppage or delay, and thereafter if
construction is not completed within the allowed period of extension this Agreement
shall be cancelled at the sole option of City. If construction is not substantially
completed by December 31, 2015, then the parties agree to execute an amendment to
this Agreement and to the Minimum Assessment Agreement to extend the date
specified in Section 4 below and the dates specified in corresponding provisions of the
Minimum Assessment Agreement.
4. Minimum Assessment Agreement. Company acknowledges and
agrees that it will pay when due all taxes and assessments, general or special, and all
other lawful charges whatsoever levied upon or assessed or placed against the
Property. Company further agrees that, prior to the date set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit
"B," it will not seek or cause a reduction in the actual valuation for the Property, which
shall be fixed for assessment purposes, below the amount of $2,000,000.00 ("Minimum
Actual Value"), through:
(i) willful destruction of the Property, Improvements, or any part of
either;
(ii) a request to the assessor of Black Hawk County; or
(iii) any proceedings, whether administrative, legal, or equitable, with
any administrative body or court within the City, Black Hawk
County, the State of Iowa, or the federal government.
Company agrees to sign and deliver to City the agreement attached as Exhibit "B"
concurrently with execution and delivery of this Agreement.
5. Property Tax Rebates. Provided that Developer has completed the
Improvements as set forth in Sections 1 and 2 and has executed the Minimum
Assessment Agreement as set forth in Section 4, the City agrees to rebate property
taxes (with the exceptions noted below) as follows:
a. Year One - 50% rebate
b. Year Two - 50% rebate
c. Year Three - 50% rebate
d. Year Four - 50% rebate
e. Year Five - 50% rebate
for any taxable value over the January 1, 2014 taxable value of $61,020.00. Rebates
are payable in respect of a given year only to the extent that Developer has actually
paid general property taxes due and owing for such year. Rebates are to be paid to
Developer within 30 days of any tax payment made by Developer.
The taxable value of the Property as a result of the Improvements must be increased by
a minimum of 10% and must increase the annual tax by a minimum of $500.00. This
rebate program is not applicable to any special assessment levy, debt service levy, or
any other levy that is exempted from treatment as tax increment financing under the
provisions of applicable law. The first year in which a rebate may be given ("Year One")
shall be the first full year for which the assessment is based upon the completed value
of the Improvements and not a prior year for which the assessment is based solely
upon the value of the land or upon the value of the land and a partial value of the
Improvements, due to partial completion of the Improvements or a partial tax year.
