November 7, 2012
From: Chad Nabity, AICP Director
To:CRA Board
Re: Life Safety Improvements – Masonic Temple Building.
Overview
Enclosed you will find a copy of an application on the Façade Improvement
Application for life safety improvements at the Masonic Temple.
Amos Anson, representing Anson Investment and Development, has submitted
an application requesting CRA funding for life safety improvements in the
Masonic Temple building. Mr. Anson is aware that the CRA does not currently
have money budgeted to make either grant or a loan to a project of this
magnitude.
The Masonic Temple is an iconic building in Downtown Grand Island and it does
present some special challenges for redevelopment. It is appropriate for the
CRA to enter into discussions with the owner(s) of the building regarding how to
go about redeveloping the property. The full request based on current estimates
is just over $261,000 to meet the basic life safety requirements as suggested by
the Masonic Temple study conducted for the former property owner for the first
four floors of the buildings. The Grand Island Building department has indicated
that the first four floors could be redeveloped with these safety features and that
the upper floors wait for improvement if those floors were left vacant. This will
allow for some phased development of the building.
The enclosed application is making requests outside of the normal business
model for the Grand Island CRA. This includes requests:
that the CRA make the grant and provide funding up front instead of on a
reimbursement basis
that the CRA place a lien in first position on the building in exchange for
the upfront funding
In further discussions with Mr. Anson, regarding the funding available or more
specifically not available during this fiscal year he proposed that a portion of the
work could be done in this year with additional work to be done in following
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/14/2012 Page 22 / 122
years. The CRA did designate $50,000 within the budget for other projects. This
would qualify as one of those “other projects”. A portion of that money could be
designated toward this project. If that designation were made it would be
possible for Anson Investment and Development to begin work on the life safety
issues, at least some of the initial demolition work, which could in turn help them
market the building.
All of the improvements, life safety, remodeling etc… that are necessary to rent
and redevelop this building are eligible for TIF. This is a significant and long term
project for the Downtown. I believe that it is in the best interest of the City and of
the Downtown to work with the developer in some manner to move this project
forward.
The CRA could appoint a committee to work with the developer on developing a
TIF application and financing package that would ultimately restore and renovate
this building.

proceed immediately to commence such actions as may be reasonably designed to cure or
remedy such failure to perform or breach which cure or remedy shall be accomplished within a
reasonable time by the diligent pursuit of corrective action. In case such action is not taken, or
diligently pursued, or the failure to perform or breach shall not be cured or remedied within a
reasonable time, this Redevelopment Contract shall be in default and the aggrieved party
may institute such proceedings as may be necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under this
Redevelopment Contract, including, but not limited to, proceedings to compel specific
performance by the party failing to perform on in breach of its obligations.
Section 6.02 Additional Remedies of Authority
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/14/2012 Page 111 / 122
In the event that:
(a)the Redeveloper, on successor in interest, shall fail to complete the
construction of the Project on or before January 1, 2015, or shall abandon construction
work for any period of 90 days,

or assessments on the Redevelopment Area on any part thereof or payments in lieu of
taxes pursuant to Section 4.07 when due; or

written notice from Authority, then the Redeveloper shall be in default of this
Redevelopment Contract.
In the event of such failure to perform, breach or default occurs and is not cured in the
period herein provided, the parties agree that the damages caused to the Authority would be
difficult to determine with certainty and that a reasonable estimation of the amount of damages
that could be incurred is the amount of the grant to Redeveloper pursuant to Section 3.04 of this
Redevelopment Contract, less any reductions in the principal amount of the TIF Indebtedness,
plus interest on such amounts as provided herein (the “Liquidated Damages Amount”). The
Liquidated Damages Amount shall be paid by Redeveloper to Authority within 30 days of
demand from Authority.
Interest shall accrue on the Liquidated Damages Amount at the rate of one percent (1%)
over the prime rate as published and modified in the Wall Street Journal from time to time and
interest shall commence from the date that the Authority gives notice to the Redeveloper
demanding payment.
Payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount shall not relieve Redeveloper of its
obligation to pay real estate taxes or assessments with respect to the Project.
Section 6.03 Remedies in the Event of Other Redeveloper Defaults.
In the event the Redeveloper fails to perform any other provisions of this Redevelopment
Contract (other than those specific provisions contained in Section 6.02), the Redeveloper shall
be in default. In such an instance, the Authority may seek to enforce the terms of this
Redevelopment Contract or exercise any other remedies that may be provided in this
Redevelopment Contract or by applicable law; provided, however, that the default covered by
this Section shall not give rise to a right or rescission on termination of this Redevelopment
Contract, and shall not be covered by the Liquidated Damages Amount.

of the Redevelopment Area for redevelopment, or the beginning and completion of construction
of the Project, or progress in respect thereto, in the event of forced delay in the performance of
such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or
negligence, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public enemy, acts of the
Government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes,
freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather or delays in subcontractors due to such causes;
it being the purpose and intent of this provision that in the event of the occurrence of any such
forced delay, the time or times for performance of the obligations of the Authority or of the
Redeveloper with respect to construction of the Project, as the case may be, shall be extended for
the period of the forced delay: Provided, that the party seeking the benefit of the provisions of

property or any injury to or death of any person that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever

directors, officers, agents, employees and member of their governing bodies free and harmless
from any loss, claim, damage, demand, tax, penalty, liability, disbursement, expense, including
