BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorizes to sell Phase 5 to the Guarantor or its assigns for $1 and in accordance with terms stated in this resolution.
BE IT STILL FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute a development agreement to fund a $686,000 Tax Incremental Finance Loan to Gorman and Company, Inc. and its assigns to assist in the development of the City-owned parcel located at 2507 Winnebago Street within the boundary of TID #37 (Union Corners) under the following terms and conditions:
1. The Project. Developer agrees to develop on the Property all of the following:
a. Construction of approximately 60 units of affordable housing, and
b. Not less than approximately 65 underground parking stalls and 11 surface parking stalls.
2. Prior Agreement. The Parties previously entered into an Option Agreement dated August 14, 2015 for the Property (the “Option”). The terms of the Option required that there be a gap in the amount of the land value. The City has agreed to terminate the Option in favor of providing the land in exchange for a guaranty in the amount of the TIF Loan as defined below, which is above the appraised land value.
3. Form of Assistance. TIF assistance shall be provided in the form of land valued at Six Hundred Eighty Six Thousand Dollars ($686,000) sold to Developer or its assigns for One Dollar ($1.00) at closing, and the land value financed as a 0% loan in the amount of Six Hundred Eighty Six Thousand Dollars ($686,000) (“TIF Loan”) to be repaid either through increment or a guaranty payment pursuant to Section 5 through tax year 2025 (final payment due in August of 2026).
4. Evidence of Financing, Audit and Clawback Provision. Prior to the TIF Loan closing, Developer shall provide evidence of bank financing, grant funds and/or equity in the aggregate amount of not less than $15,203-14,719,000 (“Financing”).
Bank financing shall be evidenced in the form of a bank commitment letter and evidence that Developer has met all of the lender’s conditions of financing such as commercial pre-leasing requirements, if any.
Equity investment shall be evidenced by paid invoices or other documentation of prepaid project costs paid by Developer and/or a financial statement demonstrating Developer’s financial capacity to invest equity in the Project. The Developer’s Equity investment may include a cash contribution from the tenant that will occupy the Project, the Developer’s contribution of land, and a deferred developer’s fee.

Upon completion of the Project defined as issuance of a certificate of occupancy for all elements of the Project, Developer shall provide the City with an audit of the total Project Cost and Financing (“Audit”), to the City’s satisfaction, for the City’s review and approval. If the City does not approve the Developer’s Audit of Project Cost, the City may request additional information from the Developer and may perform its own audit of Developer’s books and records related to Project Cost and Financing. In the event that the financing gap for the Project (which is equal to the amount of the TIF Loan) is reduced by a decrease, as established by the Audit, in the Project Cost (“Audited Actual Cost”) and/or an increase, as established by the Audit, in Financing (“Audited Actual Financing”), the following formula shall apply to determine the clawback payment due to the City (“Clawback”):

2. “Financing Increase” = Audited Actual Financing minus $15,20314,719,000.
If the sum of (1) Cost Savings and (2) Financing Increase is a negative number, there shall be no Clawback. If the sum is a positive number, Developer shall pay the City Fifty Percent (50%) of such positive number as a Clawback.
Developer’s payment of the Clawback shall be applied as a payment to the tax increment guaranty under Section 7 below and shall reduce the outstanding amount of the TIF Loan pursuant to Section 5 below.
4. Method of Payment and Tax Increment Guaranty. The City’s expenditure in providing the TIF Loan for the Project shall be repaid by Developer through tax increments generated by the Project and/or cash payments by Gorman Holdings, Inc. (the “Guarantor”) pursuant to Section 6. A schedule of the projected increment used to calculate the TIF Loan amount shall be attached to the Agreement (“Increment Schedule”).
5. Sale to Tax Exempt Entity - PILOT Payment. Developer shall be prohibited from selling or transferring the Property prior to the Developer’s repayment of the TIF Loan without the prior written consent of the City (except for transfers made pursuant to foreclosure of senior loan on the Project). If Developer sells or transfers the Property to a tax-exempt entity (“Buyer”), whereupon such ownership renders the Property as property tax-exempt, Buyer shall pay the City an annual payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) in the amount of property tax last levied as of the date of sale to Buyer, frozen, through 2035. The City of Madison shall share said PILOT in proportion with the overlying taxing jurisdictions. Buyer shall execute a PILOT Agreement and a mortgage in favor of the City in the amount of the PILOT payments (“Buyer’s Mortgage”) at the time of Buyer’s acquisition of the Property. The Buyer’s Mortgage and PILOT Agreement shall be released and terminated by the City upon the receipt by the City of the required PILOT payments.
6. Security and Corporate Guaranty. The TIF Loan shall be evidenced by a Note executed by Developer, or its assigns, to the City of Madison in the amount of Six Hundred Eighty Six Thousand Dollars ($686,000) bearing zero percent (0%) interest (“Note”). Developer shall execute a mortgage in favor of the City of Madison securing payment of the TIF Loan (“Mortgage”). The City shall agree, if necessary, to execute a subordination of mortgage in a form approved by the City Attorney and acceptable to Developer and Developer’s lender(s).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City acknowledges that the Developer may, with the prior approval of the City, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, reconfigure the size and use of the Project to address current market conditions (for example, the number and configuration of parking stalls may be increased or decreased, and certain space designated for office use may be converted to retail use).
13. Project Completion. Developer shall guarantee that the construction of the Project will be completed by March 1, 2020. Project completion shall be evidenced by the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Failure to complete the Project by said date will require payment under the increment guaranty in Section 6.
