SUBJECT: Resolution approving Development Agreement with MMC Properties
LLC for the construction of a 10,000 sq. ft. industrial building on Lot 2 of the South
Port Addition (Geraldine Road), adding $352,000 of taxable value to the site, and
offering a grant to purchase property for $73,868, and authorize Mayor to sign and
fully execute the document.
Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director
Recommended City Council Action: Approval of resolution as noted above
Summary Statement: As you may recall, the City of Waterloo recently worked with
State RISE funds for the construction of Geraldine Road on the south side of Airline
Highway for the creation of more industrial lots. The City has seen one 40,000 sq. ft.
spec building built, has an agreement for another 40,000 spec building to start soon,
has helped Koelker Excavating build a new 10,400 sq. ft. building on a lot, and is
now recommending for the approval of this Development Agreement for another
10,000 sq. ft. building to be built in SouthPort. This new building would be the fifth
project in this area (2 spec 40,000 sq. ft. buildings, Koelker, and La Forge) and bring
forth new industrial development and jobs to the area.
Expenditure Required: $73,868
Source of Funds: MidPort TIF cash
Policy Issue: Economic Development
Alternative: NA
Background Information: The use of RISE funds is a great way for the City to
provide new lot creation, and is matched with local option sale tax funding — utilizing
those funds for not only for road construction, but economic development through
road construction as well. The two stages of RISE funding for this area has now
provided over $4.9 million in new taxable value to this area, as well as construction
jobs, new employees, new energy, new excitement to the area.

granted but construction of the Improvements has not begun within such extended
period, Company must repay Grant funds to City. If construction has begun within the
required period or any extended period 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 Company, the Project completion schedule shall be tolled for
a period of time equal to the period of such stoppage or delay, and thereafter if

finance Company's completion of the Improvements and of which Company notifies
City in advance of Company's execution of any such Project Mortgage. Company may
not mortgage or encumber the Property or any part thereof for any purpose except in

FOR RECORDER
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Development Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
IObU21, .-€ , 2013, by and between MMC Properties, LLC (the "Company") and
the City of Waterloo, Iowa (the "City").
RECITALS
A. City considers economic development within the City a benefit to the
community and is willing for the overall good and welfare of the
community to provide financial incentives so as to encourage that goal.
B. Company is willing and able to finance and construct a building and
related improvements on property located in the Airport Tax Increment
Finance District.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Purchase of Property. Company is purchasing the real property
described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto (the "Property"). The purchase price for the
Property is $73,868.00 (the "Purchase Price"). Company shall take all steps necessary
or advisable to complete the purchase of the Property and to obtain marketable title
thereto as promptly as possible.
2. Improvements by Company. Company shall construct on the Property
one industrial building of not less than 10,000 square feet, and related improvements to
the buildings and grounds (collectively, the "Improvements"). 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
1
Ctod..00)
contemplated that the Improvements will have a total project cost of approximately
$352,000. 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. Grant for Land Acquisition; Mortgage. The City shall make an
economic development grant (the "Grant") to the Company for the Project in an amount
equal to the Purchase Price, i.e., $73,868.00, to be paid by City on Company's behalf to
the seller at the time of closing on the Property purchase transaction. No later than
such closing, Company shall execute and deliver to City a mortgage (the "Mortgage") to
secure Company's contingent repayment obligations under Section 4 below. City will
record the Mortgage in the public land records. Company shall be in default of the
Mortgage if, among other terms of default stated therein, Company is in default of any
Project Mortgage described in Section 6 below pursuant to the terms of such Project
Mortgage.
4. Timeliness of Construction. The parties agree that Company's
commitment to undertake the Project and to construct the Improvements in a timely
manner constitutes a material inducement for the City to make the Grant to Company
and that without said commitment City would not have done so. Measured from the
date of approval of this agreement, Company must obtain a building permit and begin
construction within four (4) months, and construction shall be completed within an
additional twelve (12) months. If Company has not, in good faith, begun the
construction of the Improvements on the schedule stated above, this Agreement may
be cancelled at the sole option of City, and Company must repay grant funds to City. If
construction has not begun within the scheduled period but the development of the
Project is still imminent, the City Council may, but shall not be required to, consent to an
extension of time for the construction of the Improvements, and if an extension is
granted but construction of the Improvements has not begun within such extended
period, Company must repay Grant funds to City. If construction has begun within the
required period or any extended period 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 Company, the Project completion schedule 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 then this
Agreement may be cancelled at the sole option of City.
5. Indemnity. Company agrees that it shall indemnify City and hold it
harmless with respect to any demand, claim, cause of action, damage, or injury made,
suffered, or incurred as a result of or in connection with the Project, Company's failure
to carry on or complete same, or any lien, claim, charge, or encumbrance on or against
the Property of any type or nature whatsoever that attaches to the Property by virtue of
Company's ownership of same, other than permitted mortgages as described in Section
6. If City files suit to enforce the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgage and prevails
in such suit, then Company shall be liable for all legal expenses, including but not
limited to reasonable attorneys' fees. Company's duties of indemnity pursuant to this
2
Section 5 shall survive the expiration, termination or cancellation of this Agreement for
any reason.
6. No Encumbrances; Limited Exception. Until completion of the
Improvements, Company agrees that it shall not create, incur, or suffer to exist any lien,
encumbrance, mortgage, security interest, or charge on the Property, other than such
mortgage or mortgages (a "Project Mortgage") as may be reasonably necessary to
finance Company's completion of the Improvements and of which Company notifies
City in advance of Company's execution of any such Project Mortgage. Company may
not mortgage or encumber the Property or any part thereof for any purpose except in
connection with financing of the Improvements, whether through a construction loan or
permanent loan. City agrees to subordinate its Mortgage to any Project Mortgage.
7. Water and Sewer. Company will be responsible for extending water and
sewer service to any location on the Property and for payment of any associated
connection fees.
8. 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 taxable valuation for the Property,
which shall be fixed for assessment purposes, below the amount of $360,370.00 (the
"Minimum Actual Value"), through:
(i)
either;
willful destruction of the Property, Improvements, or any part of
(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 the agreement attached as Exhibit "B" at closing.
9. Representations and Warranties of City. City hereby represents and
warrants as follows:
A. City is not prohibited from consummating the transaction
contemplated in this Agreement by any law, regulation, agreement, instrument,
restriction, order or judgment.
B. Each person who executes and delivers this Agreement and all
