FORMAT: Public Hearing SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Deery Brothers has proposed the development of a new car dealership as well as additional ground for a commercial development to be located at the corner of 10th Street and Hickman Road. As a part of the development, the Developer is responsible for the cost of improving ½ of 10th Street adjacent to the property. Today 10th Street exists as an asphalt road approximately 20 feet in width and serves several single family homes. The proposed development agreement would require Deery Brothers to construct the full width of 10th Street adjacent to their property including full intersection improvements. It is intended that over the next several years, 10th Street will continue to be extended south eventually connecting into Ute Avenue. Deery Brothers has indicated that the cost of the associated improvements is in the amount of $950,000. The proposed development agreement would allow for reimbursement of the costs associated with the 10th Street improvements up to a maximum of $950,000. The reimbursement would be made based upon taxes generated from the property over the next seven years. The City’s requirement for reimbursement would end either at such time as the costs are fully reimbursed or a period of seven years, whichever should first occur. FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff believes the proposed Development Agreement is consistent with City’s policy for offering incentives related to public improvements. The proposed improvements would otherwise need to be made by the City in the future. RECOMMENDATION: Hold the Public Hearing ATTACHMENTS: I.

Comprehensive general liability insurance (including operations, contingent liability, operations of subcontractors, completed operations, and contractual liability insurance) with limits against bodily injury and property damage of at least $1,000,000 for each occurrence. The City shall be named as an additional insured for the City’s liability or loss arising out of or in any way associated with the project and arising out of any act, error, or omission of Developer, or either entity’s directors, officers, shareholders, contractors, and subcontractors or anyone else for whose acts the City may be held responsible (with coverage to the City at least as broad as that which is provided to Developer and not lessened or avoided by endorsement).

No policy of insurance shall be so written that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by the preceding sentence, by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise, without the prior consent thereto in writing by the City. The term “full insurable replacement value” shall mean the actual replacement cost of the Minimum Improvements (excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains, and other Execution Version 11 uninsurable items) and equipment, and shall be determined from time to time at the request of the City, but not more frequently than once every three years, by an insurance consultant or insurer selected and paid for by Retailer and approved by the City. ii.

Within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of any policy, Developer or Retailer, as applicable, shall furnish the City evidence satisfactory to the City that the policy has been renewed or replaced by another policy conforming to the provisions of this Article IV, or that there is no necessity therefor under the terms hereof. In lieu of separate policies, Developer or Retailer, as applicable, may maintain a single policy, or blanket or umbrella policies, or a combination thereof, which provide the total coverage required herein, in which event Developer or Retailer shall deposit with the City a certificate or certificates of the respective insurers as to the amount of coverage in force upon the Minimum Improvements. d.

Nor can the Development Property or Minimum Improvements be used as centrally assessed property (including but not limited to, Iowa Code § 428.24 to 428.29 (Public Utility Plants and Related Personal Property); Chapter 433 (Telegraph and Telephone Company Property); Chapter 434 (Railway Property); Chapter 437 (Electric Transmission Lines); Chapter 437A (Property Used in the Production, Generation, Transmission or Delivery of Electricity or Natural Gas); and Chapter 438 (Pipeline Property)). ARTICLE VII. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANTS Section 7.1. Economic Development Grants. a.Payment of Economic Development Grants. For and in consideration of the obligations being assumed by Developer and Retailer hereunder, and in furtherance of the goals and objectives of the Urban Renewal Plan for the Urban Renewal Area and the Urban Renewal Act, the City agrees, subject to the Developer and Retailer being and remaining in compliance with this Agreement at the time of each payment, to make up to seven (7) consecutive annual payments of Economic Development Grants to the Retailer under the following terms and conditions. i.Schedule of Grants. Assuming completion of the Minimum Improvements by January 31, 2019, full assessment of the Minimum Improvements on January 1, 2020, timely certification of the Public Improvement costs by Developer, and debt certification to the Dallas County Auditor by the City prior to December 1, 2020, the Economic Development Grants shall commence on June 1, 2022, and end on June 1, 2026, pursuant to Section 403.19 of the Urban Renewal Act under the following formula: Execution Version 15 June 1, 2022 100% of Tax Increments for Fiscal Year 21-22 June 1, 2023 100% of Tax Increments for Fiscal Year 22-23 June 1, 2024 100% of Tax Increments for Fiscal Year 23-24 June 1, 2025 100% of Tax Increments for Fiscal Year 24-25 June 1, 2026 100% of Tax Increments for Fiscal Year 25-26 June 1, 2027 100% of Tax Increments for Fiscal Year 26-27 June 1, 2028 100% of Tax Increments for Fiscal Year 27-28 The above schedule of the payments for Economic Development Grants is based on the first full assessment of the Minimum Improvements being January 1, 2020. If the completion of the Minimum Improvements is delayed so that the Minimum Improvements are not fully assessed as of January 1, 2020, then the first Economic Development Grant will not begin as scheduled, but will be delayed one year. However, in no event shall the schedule of Economic Development Grants be delayed more than one year, meaning that the latest potential date for Retailer's first Economic Development Grant, if eligible, is June 1, 2023. ii.Maximum Amount of Grants. The aggregate amount of the Economic Development Grants that may be paid to the Retailer under Section 7.1(a) of this Agreement shall be equal to the sum of the total amount of the applicable percentages of Tax Increments collected in respect of the assessments imposed on the Development Property, but in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Economic Development Grants exceed the lesser of: (a) $950,000, or (b) the aggregate amount of the Public Improvement Costs submitted to and approved by the City as a part of Developer’s completion of the Public Improvements. It is further agreed and understood that in no event shall Retailer be entitled to receive more than calculated under the formula set forth in this Section 7.1(a), even if the aggregate amount is less than $950,000 or the amount of Public Improvement Costs paid by the Developer. iii. Limitations. Retailer and Developer acknowledge that each Economic Development Grant payment to be paid to Retailer according to this Section 7.1(a) is wholly contingent upon the actual Public Improvement Costs paid by Developer, and payment shall come solely and only from incremental taxes received by the City under Iowa Code Section 403.19 from levies upon the Development Property. The City makes no assurance that the Retailer will receive Economic Development Grants which equal the cost of the Public Improvements paid by Developer. iv. Certification of Public Improvement Costs. The obligation of the City to make any Economic Development Grants to the Retailer shall be subject to and conditioned upon, among other things, the timely filing by the Developer of the Developer Certification required under Section 5.7 hereof and the City=s approval thereof. Developer must submit accurate and sufficient documentation of the Public Improvement Costs to the City as part of its Developer Certification. b. Calculation of Grants. Each annual payment shall be equal in amount to the incremental property tax revenues attributable to the Development Property that are received by the City from the Dallas County Treasurer and that are equal to the above percentages of the Tax Execution Version 16 Increments collected by the City with respect to the Development Property under the terms of the Ordinance and deposited into the Deery, Deery & Deery, LLC TIF Account (without regard to any averaging that may otherwise be utilized under Section 403.19 and excluding any interest that may accrue thereon prior to payment to Retailer) during the preceding twelve-month period in respect of the Development Property, but subject to limitation and adjustment as provided in this Article (such payments being referred to collectively as the “Economic Development Grants”). Section 7.2. Conditions Precedent. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1 above, the obligation of the City to make an Economic Development Grant in any year shall be subject to and conditioned upon the following: (a) compliance with the terms of this Agreement by Developer and Retailer at the time of payment; and (b) Developer’s construction of the Minimum Improvements and Public Improvements consistent with this Agreement; and (c) Retailer’s timely filing of the certifications set forth in Section 5.6, including the Retailer Annual Certification; and (d) Developer’s timely filing of the Developer Certification as set forth in Sections 5.7 and 7.1(a)(iv). Under no circumstances shall the failure by Retailer to qualify for an Economic Development Grant in any year serve to extend the term of this Agreement beyond the Termination Date or the years during which Economic Development Grants may be awarded to Retailer or the total amount thereof, it being the intent of parties hereto to provide Retailer with an opportunity to receive Economic Development Grants only if Retailer and Developer fully comply with the provisions hereof and the Retailer becomes entitled thereto, up to the maximum aggregate amounts set forth in Section 7.1(a)(ii). After the Minimum Improvements are first fully assessed and if in compliance with this Agreement, if the Retailer’s Annual Certification is timely filed under Section 5.6(a) and the Developer Certification is timely filed under Section 5.7, the City shall certify to Dallas County, Iowa (the “County”) prior to December 1 of that year its request for the available Tax Increments resulting from the assessments imposed by the County as of January 1 of that year, to be collected by the County and paid to the City as taxes are paid during the following fiscal year and a percentage of which shall thereafter be disbursed to Retailer on the following June 1 provided Retailer and Developer are in compliance with this Agreement at the time of payment. (Example: assuming completion by January 31, 2019, and first full assessment on January 1, 2020, if Developer timely certifies the costs of the Public Improvements, Retailer certifies in October 2020, and the City certifies to the County by December 1, 2020, the first Economic Development Grant would be paid to Retailer on June 1, 2022 (for 100% of the Tax Increment for fiscal year 2021- 2022)). Compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is a condition precedent to receiving an Economic Development Grant. Execution Version 17 Section 7.3. Source of Grant Funds Limited. a. The Economic Development Grants shall be payable from and secured solely and only by amounts of incremental property tax revenues attributable to the Development Property that are received by the City from the Dallas County Treasurer and that are deposited and held in the Deery, Deery & Deery, LLC TIF Account of the Waukee Central Urban Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Fund of the City. The City hereby covenants and agrees to maintain the Ordinance covering the Development Property in force during the term hereof and to apply the appropriate percentage of Tax Increments collected in respect of the Development Property and allocated to the Deery, Deery & Deery, LLC TIF Account to pay the Economic Development Grants, as and to the extent set forth in this Article. The Economic Development Grants shall not be payable in any manner by other tax increment revenues or by general taxation or from any other City funds. Any commercial and industrial property tax replacement monies that may be received under Chapter 441.21A of the Code shall not be included in the calculation to determine the amount of Economic Development Grants for which Retailer is eligible, and any monies received back under Chapter 426C of the Code relating to the Business Property Tax Credit shall not be included in the calculation to determine the amount of Economic Development Grants for which Retailer is eligible. b. Each Economic Development Grant is subject to annual appropriation by the City Council of the City (the “City Council”). The right of non-appropriation reserved to the City in this Section is intended by the parties, and shall be construed at all times, so as to ensure that the City's obligation to make future Economic Development Grants shall not constitute a legal indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any applicable constitutional or statutory debt limitation prior to the adoption of a budget which appropriates funds for the payment of that installment or amount. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to create, or result in the creation of, such a legal indebtedness of the City, the enforcement of the said provision shall be suspended, and the Agreement shall at all times be construed and applied in such a manner as will preserve the foregoing intent of the parties, and no Event of Default by the City shall be deemed to have occurred as a result thereof. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any circumstance is so suspended, the suspension shall not affect other provisions of this Agreement which can be given effect without the suspended provision. To this end the provisions of this Agreement are severable. c. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1 hereof, the City shall have no obligation to make an Economic Development Grant to Retailer if at any time during the term hereof the City fails to appropriate funds for payment, or receives an opinion from its legal counsel to the effect that the use of Tax Increments resulting from the Minimum Improvements to fund an Economic Development Grant to Retailer, as contemplated under said Section 7.1, is not authorized or is not an otherwise appropriate urban renewal activity permitted to be undertaken by the City under the Urban Renewal Act or other applicable provisions of the Code, as then constituted or under controlling decision of any Iowa court having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof. Upon receipt of any such legal opinion or non-appropriation, the City shall promptly forward notice of the same to Retailer. If the non-appropriation or circumstances or legal constraints giving rise to the decision continue for a period during which two (2) annual Economic Development Grants would otherwise have been paid to Retailer under the terms of Section 7.1, Execution Version 18 the City may terminate this Agreement, without penalty or other liability to the City, by written notice to Retailer. Section 7.4. Use of Other Tax Increments. The City shall be free to use any and all Tax Increments above and beyond the percentages to be given to Retailer in this Agreement, or any available Tax Increments resulting from the suspension or termination of the Economic Development Grants, for any purpose for which the Tax Increments may lawfully be used pursuant to the provisions of the Urban Renewal Act (including an allocation of all or any portion thereof to the reduction of any eligible City costs), and the City shall have no obligations to Retailer with respect to the use thereof. Section 7.5. Real Property Taxes. Retailer, and its permitted successors and assigns, shall pay or cause to be paid, when due, all real property taxes and assessments payable with respect to all and any parts of the Development Property and Minimum Improvements. Until such obligations have been assumed by any other person, all pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, Retailer shall be responsible for all assessments and taxes. Retailer and its permitted successors agree that prior to the Termination Date: a. They will not seek administrative review or judicial review of the applicability or constitutionality of any tax statute relating to the taxation of real property contained on the Development Property determined by any tax official to be applicable to the Development Property or Minimum Improvements, or raise the inapplicability or constitutionality of any such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings, including delinquent tax proceedings; and b. They will not seek any tax exemption deferral or abatement either presently or prospectively authorized under any State, federal, or local law with respect to taxation of real property contained on the Development Property, or the Minimum Improvements, between the date of execution of this Agreement and the Termination Date. c. The assessment category for the Development Property is commercial/industrial, and Retailer shall not take any action to request or effect a change in such category. ARTICLE VIII. INDEMNIFICATION Section 8.1. Release and Indemnification Covenants. a. Developer and Retailer release the City and the Indemnified Parties from, covenant and agree that the Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for, and agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against, any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of any person occurring at or about or resulting from any defect in the Minimum Improvements, Public Improvements (until such time as they are conveyed to the City), or Development Property. b. Except to the extent arising from any willful misrepresentation, gross negligence, or any willful or wanton misconduct or any unlawful act of the Indemnified Parties, Developer Execution Version 19 and Retailer agree to protect and defend the Indemnified Parties, now or forever, and further agree to hold the Indemnified Parties harmless, from any claim, demand, suit, action, or other proceedings whatsoever by any person or entity whatsoever arising or purportedly arising from: (i) any violation of any agreement or condition of this Agreement (except with respect to any suit, action, demand, or other proceeding brought by Developer or Retailer against the City to enforce its rights under this Agreement); (ii) the acquisition and condition of the Development Property and the construction, installation, ownership, and operation of the Minimum Improvements and, until accepted by the City, the Public Improvements; or (iii) any hazardous substance or environmental contamination located in or on the Development Property. c. The Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for any damage or injury to the persons or property of Developer or Retailer, or their officers, agents, servants, or employees or any other person who may be about the Public Improvements, Minimum Improvements, or Development Property due to any act of negligence of any person, other than any act of negligence on the part of any such indemnified party or its officers, agents, servants or employees. d.
