RFP process. Upon roll call vote all present voted aye. Motion carried

7. APPROVAL OF SALE OF MODEL HOME AT COPPER CREEK ESTATES.
Ray O’Connor is asked that the CRA allow the sale of a house in Copper
Creek Estates to proceed at a price greater than the contracted $145,900
maximum price. The home in question was being built as a model home
for show and office purposes. Unlike other houses in the subdivision they
have finished the basement in this unit and were intending to use it as a
show piece and office. They have the opportunity to sell this unit to an
individual that needs housing quickly but they cannot afford to sell it for less
than the cost to build and finish. To avoid this issue in the future Mr.
O’Connor has indicated that they would not finish the basement in any unit
they use as a show home and office. A motion was made by Gdowski and
seconded by Murray to approve the request for the sale for the one (1)
house at the one (1) lot at a higher price. Upon roll call vote all present
voted aye. Motion carried unanimously to approve the sale at a higher
price.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING REQUEST INFORMATION
Describe Amount and Purpose for Which Tax Increment Financing is Requested:
Tower217 is asking for $236,000 in TIF. The reason for the request is to offset the
cost of the future taxes in order to have 15 years to pay off the construction loan
before the taxes are “increased”. This will allow the project to cash flow and
therefore be a success.
Statement Identifying Financial Gap and Necessity for use of Tax Increment Financing
for Proposed Project: Without TIF assistance the project will not cash flow and
therefore will not be a successful business venture. See attached pro forma and
CRA Life Safety application for further information.
Municipal and Corporate References (if applicable). Please identify all other
Municipalities, and other Corporations the Applicant has been involved with, or
has completed developments in, within the last five (5) years, providing contact
person, telephone and fax numbers for each:

Pro Forma for first four floors:
This is with the assumption the taxes are “frozen” for the first 15 years. As you can see in
the bottom two lines, without the life safety grant in combination with the TIF financing,
the project simply doesn’t cash flow.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area #1
April 2014
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area #1 with in the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific infrastructure related project in Area #1.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT OF TOWER 217 FORMALLY KNOWN AS THE
MASONIC TEMPLE BUILDING INTO A SEVEN STORY MIXED USE BUILDING
COMBINING COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL SPACE IN DOWNTOWN
GRAND ISLAND AT 217 N LOCUST STREET IN GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA
INCLUDING FIRE/LIFE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AND BUILDING
REHABILITATION.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in rehabilitation expenses associated with
redevelopment of the Masonic Temple Building into Tower 217. The use of Tax
Increment Finance is an integral part of the development plan and necessary to make this
project cash flow. The project will result in renovated commercial space and additional
market rate residential space in Downtown Grand Island. This project would not be
possible without the use of TIF.
Anson Investment and Development is the owner of the property and has been exploring
options for the redevelopment of this property since April of 2012. The building is
currently vacant. All activities related to the renovation of this building will be paid for
by Anson Investment and Development. They will be seeking grants and other funding
but will be responsible for all the costs associated with the project. The developer is
responsible for and has provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to
cover the costs associated with the acquisition, site work and remodeling. The Grand
Island Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) intends to pledge the ad valorem
taxes generated over the 15 year period beginning January 1, 2016 or 17 towards the
allowable costs and associated financing for the acquisition and site work.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)
217 N. Locust Street in Grand Island Nebraska Masonic Temple Building “Tower 217”
Legal Descriptions: The west 17 1/2' of the sough 44' LT 3 and the north 8' of the south
52' of west 22' and the south 44' of lot 4 block 66 of Original Town in Grand Island, Hall

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 4/16/2014 Page 46 / 101
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 4/16/2014 Page 47 / 101
The tax increment will be captured for the tax years the payments for which become
delinquent in years 2017 through 2031 inclusive.
The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid
to the normal taxing entities. The increase will come from rehabilitation of this
vacant historic building for mixed commercial and residential uses as permitted in
the B3 Heavy Business Zoning District and as encouraged by numerous downtown
development plans and studies.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
Pursuant to Section 18-2147 of the Act, any ad valorem tax levied upon real property in
the Redevelopment Project Area shall be divided, for the period not to exceed 15 years
after the effective date of the provision, which effective date shall be January 1, 2016.
a. That portion of the ad valorem tax which is produced by levy at the rate
fixed each year by or for each public body upon the redevelopment project valuation shall
be paid into the funds, of each such public body in the same proportion as all other taxes
collected by or for the bodies; and
b. That portion of the ad valorem tax on real property in the
redevelopment project in excess of such amount, if any, shall be allocated to and, when
collected, paid into a special fund of the Authority to pay the principal of; the interest on,
and any premiums due in connection with the bonds, loans, notes, or advances on money
to, or indebtedness incurred by, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, such
Authority for financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, a redevelopment project.
When such bonds, loans, notes, advances of money, or indebtedness including interest
and premium due have been paid, the Authority shall so notify the County Assessor and
County Treasurer and all ad valorem taxes upon real property in such redevelopment
project shall be paid into the funds of the respective public bodies.
Pursuant to Section 18-2150 of the Act, the ad valorem tax so divided is hereby pledged
to the repayment of loans or advances of money, or the incurring of any indebtedness,
whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, by the CRA to finance or refinance, in
whole or in part, the redevelopment project, including the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such bonds, loans, notes, advances, or indebtedness.

authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan Amendment. This
amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This
will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe buildings and
blighting conditions.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 4/16/2014 Page 52 / 101
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between June 2014 and
December of 2018. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years
beginning with the 2016 tax year. It is anticipated that phase 1 of this project including
the basement, first and second floors will be completed by December 31 of 2015 and that
the other phases will move forward when feasible.
9. Justification of Project
This is an historic building in downtown Grand Island that will be preserved with this
project. Downtown redevelopment plans over the past 20 years have all stressed the need
to develop additional upper story residential in the downtown area. The current
downtown living units are all occupied. This project would add a combination of retail,
office, restaurant and residential space within the confines of a single building.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $99,655. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of between $466,000 and
$715,000 of additional valuation depending on the final configuration of the space. No
tax shifts are anticipated from the project. The project creates additional valuation that
will support taxing entities long after the project is paid off.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste
water facilities will not be impacted by this development. The electric utility has
sufficient capacity to support the development. It is not anticipated that this will impact
schools. Fire and police protection are available and should not be negatively impacted
by this development. The addition of life safety elements to this building including fire
sprinklers and a second exit actually reduce the chances of negative impacts to the fire
department.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
The proposed project will have no impact on other firms locating or expanding in the
area.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 4/16/2014 Page 53 / 101
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
This project will not have a negative impact on other employers and will result in
additional housing choices for employees within the city as well as additional commercial
opportunities.
(e) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project will increase the quantity of available quality housing in Grand Island by
a net of six single family homes. These types of smaller projects spread throughout the
city will have a less drastic impact on neighborhoods and schools than a centralized
larger housing project.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between June of
2014 and December 31 of 2018. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of
the property as of January 1, 2015. Excess valuation should be available for this project
for 15 years beginning in 2016 with taxes due in 2017. Excess valuation will be used to
pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA per the contract between the CRA and the
developer for a period not to exceed 15 years or an amount not to exceed $236,000 the
projected amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current
tax rate. Based on the estimates of the expenses of the rehabilitation the developer will
spend at least $1,187,826 on TIF eligible activities. The CRA will reserve the right to
issue additional debt for this project upon notification by the developer of sufficient
expenses and valuation to support such debt in the form of a second or third bond
issuance.

ARTICLE VI
DEFAULT, REMEDIES; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.01 General Remedies of Authority and Redeveloper.
Subject to the further provisions of this Article VI, in the event of any failure to perform
or breach of this Redevelopment Contract or any of its terms or conditions, by any party hereto
or any successor to such party, such party, or successor, shall, upon written notice from the other,
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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 4/16/2014 Page 68 / 101
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
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, 2016, or shall abandon construction
work for any period of 90 days,
(b)The Redeveloper, on successor in interest, shall fail to pay real estate taxes
or assessments on the Redevelopment Area on any part thereof or payments in lieu of
taxes pursuant to Section 4.07 when due; or
(c) There is, in violation of Section 4.08 of this Redevelopment Contract, and
such failure or action by the Redeveloper has not been cured within 30 days following
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

breach of this Redevelopment Contract or any of its terms or conditions, by any party hereto or
any successor to such party, such party, or successor, shall, upon written notice from the other,
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.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 4/16/2014 Page 89 / 101
Section 6.02 Additional Remedies of Authority
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, 2016, or shall abandon construction
work for any period of 90 days,
(b)the Redeveloper, on successor in interest, shall fail to pay real estate taxes
or assessments on the Redevelopment Area on any part thereof or payments in lieu of
taxes pursuant to Section 4.07 when due; or
(c) There is, in violation of Section 4.08 of this Redevelopment Contract, and
such failure or action by the Redeveloper has not been cured within 30 days following
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.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 4/16/2014 Page 90 / 101
Section 6.04 Forced Delay Beyond Party’s Control.
For the purposes of any of the provisions of this Redevelopment Contract, neither the
Authority nor the Redeveloper, as the case may be, nor any successor in interest, shall be
considered in breach of or default in its obligations with respect to the conveyance or preparation
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
this section shall, within thirty (30) days after the beginning of any such forced delay, have first
notified the other party thereto in writing, and of the cause or causes thereof and requested an
extension for the period of the forced delay.
Section 6.05 Limitations of Liability; Indemnification.

contrary, neither the City, the Authority, nor their officers, directors, employees, agents or their
governing bodies shall have any pecuniary obligation or monetary liability under this

indemnify and hold the City and Authority harmless from any liability for any loss or damage to
property or any injury to or death of any person that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever
pertaining to the Project.
The Redeveloper will indemnify and hold each of the City and Authority and their
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
litigation expenses, attorneys’ fees and expenses, or court costs arising out of any damage or
injury, actual or claimed, of whatsoever kind or character, to property (including loss of use
thereof) or persons, occurring or allegedly occurring in, on or about the Project during the term
