principal thereof becomes due and payable as therein and herein provided, whether at the stated maturity
thereof or call for optional or mandatory redemption or otherwise, if funds sufficient to pay such Note
have been made available to the Registrar all liability of the Authority to the Owner thereof for the
payment of such Note shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged, and thereupon it
shall be the duty of the Registrar to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit
of the Owner of such Note, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of
whatever nature on their part under this Resolution or on, or with respect to, said Note. If any Note is not
presented for payment within five years following the date when such Note becomes due, the Registrar
shall repay to the Authority the funds theretofore held by it for payment of such Note, and such Note
shall, subject to the defense of any applicable statute of limitation, thereafter be an unsecured obligation
of the Authority, and the Registered Owner thereof shall be entitled to look only to the Authority for

Section 4.3. Determination of Outstanding Principal Amount of Note. Notwithstanding the
amount indicated on the face of any Note, the principal amount of such Note actually Outstanding from time
to time shall be determined and maintained by the Registrar. The Registrar shall make a notation in the
books of registry maintained for each Note indicating the original principal advance of such Note as
determined in accordance with Section 3.2 and make such additional notations as are required to reflect any
additional principal advances or redemptions of such Note from time to time, including on the Table of
Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount attached to each Note if it is presented to the Registrar for that
purpose. Any Owner may examine the books of registry maintained by the Registrar upon request, and the
Registrar shall grant such request as soon as reasonably practicable. Any failure of the Registrar to record a
principal advance or a redemption on the Table of Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount shall not
affect the Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount shown on the records of the Registrar.

This Note is issued by the Authority under the authority of and in full compliance with the
Constitution and statutes of the State of Nebraska, including particularly Article VIII, Section 12 of the
Nebraska Constitution, Sections 18-2101 to 18-2153, inclusive, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, as

connection therewith.
Reference is hereby made to the Resolution for the provisions, among others, with respect to the

of the property or upon any of the income, receipts, or money and securities of the City or the Authority or
of any other party other than those specifically pledged under the Resolution. This Note is not a debt of the
City or the Authority within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter limitation upon the
creation of general obligation indebtedness of the City or the Authority, and does not impose any general
liability upon the City or the Authority and neither the City nor the Authority shall be liable for the payment
hereof out of any funds of the City or the Authority other than the Tax Revenues and other funds pledged
under the Resolution, which Tax Revenues and other funds have been and hereby are pledged to the
punctual payment of the principal of and interest on this Note in accordance with the provisions of this
Resolution.

with or without the consent of the Owner of this Note; the rights, duties and obligations of the Authority and
the Registrar thereunder; the terms and provisions upon which the liens, pledges, charges, trusts and
covenants made therein may be discharged at or prior to the maturity or redemption of this Note, and this
Note thereafter no longer be secured by the Resolution or be deemed to be outstanding thereunder, if money
or certain specified securities shall have been deposited with the Registrar sufficient and held in trust solely
for the payment hereof; and for the other terms and provisions thereof.
This Note is subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Authority, in whole or in
part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued
interest on such principal amount to the date fixed for redemption. Reference is hereby made to the
Resolution for a description of the redemption procedures and the notice requirements pertaining thereto.
In the event this Note is called for prior redemption, notice of such redemption shall be given by
first-class mail to the Registered Owner hereof at its address as shown on the registration books maintained
by the Registrar not less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, unless waived by the Registered
Owner hereof. If this Note, or any portion thereof, shall have been duly called for redemption and notice of
such redemption duly given as provided, then upon such redemption date the portion of this Note so
redeemed shall become due and payable and if money for the payment of the portion of the Note so
redeemed shall be held for the purpose of such payment by the Registrar.
This Note is transferable by the Registered Owner hereof in person or by its attorney or legal
representative duly authorized in writing at the principal office of the Registrar, but only in the manner,
subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Resolution, and upon surrender
and cancellation of this Note. Upon such transfer, a new Note of the same series and maturity and for the
same principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor. The Authority and the
Registrar may deem and treat the Registered Owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of
receiving payment of or on account of principal of and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.

(a)when the any Note or portion thereof shall have been canceled, or shall have
been surrendered for cancellation or is subject to cancellation, or shall have been purchased from

thereof, plus interest on such principal to the due date thereof, either (1) shall have been made or
caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (2) shall have been provided by
irrevocably depositing with the Registrar for the Note, in trust and irrevocably set aside exclusively
for such payment, (A) money sufficient to make such payment or (B) Escrow Obligations maturing

Anything in this Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, if money or Escrow Obligations have
been deposited or set aside with the Registrar pursuant to this Section 10.1 for the payment of any Note and
such Note shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment to the provisions of this Section
10.1 shall be valid as to or binding upon the Owner thereof without the consent of such Owner.
Section 10.2. Certain Limitations After Due Date. If sufficient money or Escrow Obligations

completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Registrar to hold such money or Escrow
Obligations, without liability to the Owners, in trust for the benefit of the Owners, who thereafter shall be
restricted exclusively to such money or Escrow Obligations for any claim for such payment of whatsoever
nature on his part.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph of this Section 10.2, money or Escrow
Obligations held by the Registrar in trust for the payment and discharge of the principal of on any Note

payable, either because the Notes shall have reached their maturity date or because the entire principal
balance of the Notes shall have been called for redemption, if such money was held by the Registrar or such
paying agent at such date, or for five years after the date of deposit of such money, if deposited with the
Registrar after the date when such Note became due and payable, shall be paid to the Nebraska State
Treasurer and the Registrar shall thereupon be released and discharged with respect thereto, and the Owner
thereof shall look only to the Authority for the payment thereof.

Tax Increment Development Revenue Note, Series A
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The undersigned agrees to purchase the Note issued by the Community Redevelopment Authority
of the City of Grand Island (the “Issuer”), as specified on the attached Schedule I (the “Note”) and for
consideration received, the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) hereby certifies as follows:
1.The Purchaser has based its decision to invest in the Note solely on its own review and
negotiation of the documents providing for the issuance of the Note (the “Transaction Documents”) and
its own investigation, discussion, review, underwriting credit analysis and related undertakings with
respect to the TIF Project.
2.It is understood that the Purchaser has undertaken to verify the accuracy, completeness
and truth of any statements made concerning the transaction reflected in the Transaction Documents,
including information regarding the business and financial condition of Talon Apartments, Inc. (the
“Company”) and the TIF Project, and including, but not limited to, the circumstances under which the
Note may be redeemed or defeased prior to its maturity, in whole or in part, and any credit or
reinvestments risks associated with redemption or defeasing the Note, underwriting and analyzing the
credit of the TIF Project, the Company and the credit risks associated with the sources of payments made
on, or with respect to, the Note. The Purchaser has conducted its own investigation of the transaction
reflected in the Transaction Documents, including information regarding the business and financial
condition of the Company.
3.The Purchaser has met with the Company and/or its designated representatives and has
been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions of them as the Purchaser has deemed necessary in
making its investment decisions, including, but not limited to, the circumstances under which the Note
may be redeemed or defeased, in whole or in part, prior to its maturity, and the credit and investment risks
associated with redemption or defeasance of the Note.
4.The Purchaser is familiar with the condition, financial and otherwise, of the Company,
and the Company has made available to the Purchaser the opportunity to request and obtain all of the
information referred to in the Transaction Documents to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in
the Note.
5. The Purchaser has been offered copies of, or full access to, each of the Transaction
Documents and all documents relating to the terms and conditions of the offering and the issuance of the
Note (including, but not limited to, information regarding payment, redemption, defeasance and security
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 59 / 174
Talon Apartments
with respect to the Note, and all records, reports, financial statements and other information concerning
the TIF Project, the Company and any third parties which is or may be pertinent to the source of payment
redemption, defeasance and security for the Note) which, as a sophisticated and reasonable investor, the
Purchaser has requested and to which, as a sophisticated and reasonable investor, the Purchaser would
attach significance in making investment decisions.
6.The Purchaser is either a) a body politic and corporate and a political subdivision of the
State of Nebraska, or b) a financial institution or other “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D of the United States Securities Exchange Commission and Section 8-1111(8) of the
Securities Act of Nebraska. The Purchaser can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Note and
has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, including purchase and ownership
of municipal and other obligations, and the analysis of purchasing similar speculative, unrated, real-estate
secured investments, as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment represented by
its investment in the Note and is aware of the intended use of the proceeds of the Note and the risks
involved therein.
7.The Purchaser is duly and legally authorized to purchase obligations such as the Note and
its investment in the Note is a lawful investment for it under all applicable laws.
8.The Note has been purchased for the account of the Purchaser for its own investment
with its own unencumbered funds. The Purchaser has not borrowed funds or pledged any collateral
(including, but not limited to, the Note) in connection with its purchase of the Note, and the Purchaser has
not undertaken, has not agreed to undertake and neither does the Purchaser have the intention of
undertaking, any distribution, securitization, hypothecation transfer, resale, pledge, collateralization or
any other encumbrance on or disposal of the Note (or any portion thereof or interest therein) (any such
action (whether before or after the purchase of the Note by the Purchaser) constituting a “Transfer of Note
Interest”). The Purchaser holds, and intends to hold, the Note for its own account and for an indefinite
period of time and does not intend to take any action which could constitute a Transfer of Note Interest.
The Purchaser understands that any Transfer of Note Interest is restricted pursuant to the terms of this
Purchase Letter. The Purchaser is not acting as an “underwriter” within the meaning of that term under
federal or Nebraska state laws.
9.The Purchaser acknowledges and represents that it has been advised the Note is not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or any federal or state
securities agency or commission, and that the Company is not presently required to register under Section
12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and that no trading market
now exists for the Note. The Purchaser realizes that if the Purchaser undertakes any Transfer of Note
Interest, there may not be available current business and financial information about the Company or the
TIF Project. The Purchaser understands that any Transfer of Note Interest is restricted pursuant to the
terms of this Purchase Letter, including, but not limited to, the requirement that prior to the date on which
any such Transfer of Note Interest is to be completed, the transferee sign a Purchase Letter substantially
identical to this Purchase Letter and otherwise in form satisfactory to the Issuer, and each of the
conditions in paragraph 14 below shall have been satisfied. Accordingly, the Purchaser understands that
it may need to bear risks of investment in the Note for an indefinite period of time since any Transfer of
Note Interest prior to the maturity of the Note may not be possible or may be at a price below that which
the Purchaser is paying for the Note.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 60 / 174
Talon Apartments
10.The Purchaser acknowledges that the Note is being purchased in a direct private
placement negotiated between the Issuer and the Purchaser in which no broker, dealer or municipal
securities dealer has participated and is therefore not subject to any of the requirements of Rule 15c2-12
of the Securities and Exchange Commission requiring the providing of certain information upon issuance
and certain additional information on a periodic basis.
11.The Purchaser acknowledges that the principal amount and debt service on the Note has
been scheduled based upon estimates and assumptions provided by the Company (which may be
optimistic or “best case” estimates or assumptions of the Company not in any respect verified or
evaluated by the Issuer), and that such estimates and assumptions may vary materially; that tax increment
revenues may be altered or eliminated entirely based upon future decisions of taxing and assessing
authorities, the Nebraska Legislature or the voters of the State of Nebraska or by future court decisions,
and that the lands within the development may or may not be developed in a manner sufficient to generate
incremental tax revenues sufficient to pay debt service on the Note.
12.The Purchaser understands that the purchase price of the Note is in the form of an offset
against the grant to the Purchaser provided in Section 3.02 of the Redevelopment Contract by and
between the Issuer and the Company dated _________2016 (the “Redevelopment Contract”) and that
such offset is at the request of the Purchaser.
13.The Purchaser acknowledges the information provided by the Company may contain
forward looking statements. These forward looking statements, which in any event are not statements
made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer, may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements.
14.The Purchaser will not undertake any Transfer of Note Interest, except:
(a)in full good-faith compliance with all applicable state and federal securities and
banking laws;
(b)with full and accurate disclosure of all material facts to the prospective
purchaser(s) or transferee(s) to whom the Transfer of Note Interest is being made by the Purchaser (each,
a “Transferee”);
(c)either under effective federal and state registration statements (which the Issuer
shall not in any way be obligated to provide) or pursuant to exemptions from such registrations (as
reflected in an opinion of nationally recognized securities counsel acceptable to the Issuer);
(d)only in authorized denominations (as defined in the Purchase Letter);
(e)to a Transferee delivering a purchase letter substantially identical to this Purchase
Letter and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer;
(f)upon delivery to the Issuer of a certificate in form and substance satisfactory to
the Issuer from the Purchaser, in its capacity as transferor, to the effect that, after due inquiry, the
Purchaser, in its capacity as transferor, has reason to believe that the representations of the Transferee set
forth in its Purchaser Letter are accurate and, in its capacity as transferor, the Purchaser has disclosed to
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 61 / 174
Talon Apartments
the Transferee such information and risks concerning the Note and related security as a reasonable
investor would consider material.
15.The Purchaser acknowledges that stop transfer notations may be made on the Note or any
other documents evidencing ownership of the Note to the effect that the Note has not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 or the applicable “Blue Sky” laws and that no Transfer of Note Interest
may be undertaken unless the Note is registered thereunder or such Transfer of Note Interest is pursuant
to an exemption from such registration (as reflected in an opinion of nationally recognized securities
counsel acceptable to the Issuer) and otherwise in accordance with this Purchase Letter.
16.The Purchaser understands that any liability of the Issuer to the Purchaser is limited to the
Issuer’s interest in the Redevelopment Contract and any security with respect thereto delivered by, or on
behalf of, the Company and the Purchaser shall look exclusively thereto for payment on the Note and that
no recourse for the payment of any part of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Note or for
the satisfaction of any liability arising from, founded upon or existing by reason of the issuance, purchase
or ownership of the Note shall be had against the Issuer or any officer, director, member, agent or
employee of the Issuer or the City of Grand Island, as such, all such liability being hereby expressly
released and waived as a condition of and as a part of the consideration for the issuance of the Note.
17.The Purchaser understands that (a) the Note is not secured by any obligation or pledge of
any moneys received or to be received from taxation or from the Issuer or the City of Grand Island or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, (b) the Note will never represent or constitute a general
obligation, debt, bonded indebtedness or pecuniary obligation of the Issuer, the City of Grand Island or
any political subdivision thereof, (c) no right will exist to have taxes levied by the Issuer or the City of
Grand Island or any political subdivision thereof for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Note, and (d) the Note is a limited obligation of the Issuer, payable solely out of and
secured by income and revenue related to the TIF Project, as pledged pursuant to the Redevelopment
Contract.
18.The Purchaser understands that the Note and interest on the Note are not exempt from
taxation for purposes of federal and Nebraska State taxation.
Very truly yours,

DEFAULT, REMEDIES; INDEMNIFICATION

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
Redevelopment Contract, including, but not limited to, proceedings to compel specific
performance by the party failing to perform or in breach of its obligations. The Redeveloper
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Authority shall have completed its required
performances and satisfied all of its obligations under this Redevelopment Contract upon the
issuance of the Indebtedness and the subsequent payment of grant amounts to the Redeveloper as
set forth in Article III hereof and by complying with the obligations of all Redevelopment
Contract Amendments.
Section 6.02 Additional Remedies of Authority
In the event that (each such event an "event of default"):
(a)the Redeveloper, or its successor in interest, shall fail to commence the
construction of the improvements included in the Project Costs on or before December 1,

Talon Apartments
(c)there is a violation of any other provision of this Redevelopment Contract,
and such failure or action by the Redeveloper has not been cured within 90 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 Indebtedness, plus
interest on such amounts as provided herein (the "Liquidated Damages Amount"). Upon the
occurrence of an event of default, the Liquidated Damages Amount shall be paid by Redeveloper
to Authority within 30 days of demand from Authority given to the Redeveloper.
Interest shall accrue on the Liquidated Damages Amount at the rate of three percent (3%)
per annum 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 Redevelopment Project
Property and the Project.
Redeveloper, on or before contracting for work included within the Project Costs, shall
furnish to the Authority copies of labor and materials payment bonds and performance bonds for
each contract entered into by Redeveloper related to Project Costs. Each such bond shall show
the Authority and the City as well as the Redeveloper as beneficiary of any such bond, as and to
the extent commercially obtainable (as determined in the discretion of the Authority). In
addition, the Redeveloper shall provide a penal bond with good and sufficient surety to be
approved by the Authority, conditioned that the Redeveloper shall at all times promptly make
payments of all amounts lawfully due to all persons supplying or furnishing to any contractor or
his or her subcontractors (for each contract entered into by Redeveloper related to Project Costs)
with labor or materials performed or used in the prosecution of the work provided for in such
contract, and will indemnify and save harmless the Authority to the extent of any payments in
connection with the carrying out of such contracts which the Authority may be required to make
under the law.
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 any defaults 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.

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 or any part thereof 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.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI or this Redevelopment Contract to the
contrary, neither the City, the Authority, nor their respective elected officials, officers, directors,
appointed officials, employees, attorneys, agents nor their governing bodies shall have any
pecuniary obligation or monetary liability under this Redevelopment Contract. The sole
obligation of the Authority under this Redevelopment Contract shall be the issuance of the
Indebtedness and granting of a portion of the proceeds thereof to Redeveloper, and full
compliance with the terms specifically set forth Article III hereof and payment of TIF Revenues

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

respective elected officials, directors, officers, appointed officials, attorneys, agents, employees
and members of their governing bodies free and harmless from any loss, claim, damage, demand,
tax, penalty, liability, disbursement, expense, excluding 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

Building square footage: Total 319,865
Size of property: Phase 1, 35 Acres
Description of buildings:
Prataria owns a 96 acre parcel of land that includes a farm homestead, farmland and pasture land.
This is a generational development opportunity which sits at the front door of Grand Island. Prataria
proposes to develop this parcel in four separate phases. The first phase will be on 35 acres that will
include a hospital, medical office building and a hotel.
The hospital is approximately 172,000 square feet and will be designed for potential future expan-
sion horizontally and vertically. The initial 4 story bed tower will be comprised of 64 patient rooms
and will be designed for two additional floors for future growth. The structure is designed utilizing
conventional steel framing, with the exterior being a combination of precast panels, metal pan-
els, curtainwall and storefront glass features.
The Medical Office Building will be a three story structure totaling 66,000 square feet. It will also be
a conventional steel framed structure with the same exterior materials and features as the hospital.
Thus, creating a campus feel with complimentary architectural design features. It will be attached to
the hospital structure, allowing patient and visitors ease of accessing both facilities.
The hotel is also planned to be attached to the medical office building and the hospital. The ho-
tel will be a select-service hotel that includes approximately 103 beds and will be about 81,500
square feet. The select service hotels offer a selection of services and amenities characterized by
a full-service hotel property at a value-added price point. The hotel will offer about 7,000 square
feet of conference/meeting space.
Additional phases will be forthcoming.
See conceptual plan submitted. Actual preliminary plat to be determined in near future.

Project Redeveloper Information
Describe Amount and Purpose for Which Tax Increment Financing is Requested:
28,900,000 dollars of tax increment financing is being requested to assist in the site prepara-
tion, demolition, utilities, construction costs and other necessary site preparation and devel-
opment expenditures. This is a green field site that will need complete site work done before
it is ready for any construction to commence. The TIF funds will enable project completion
of phase 1, which will result in a vast improvement to the economic condition of the land and
become a tax generating entity for the city of Grand Island. The opportunity to continue de-
velopment in south Grand Island down corridor 281 towards the interstate has been a key
objective for the city. This development will kick off this growth and be the catalyst for future
developments. Between the hospital, MOB and hotel, significant personal property tax and
sales tax will be generated due to extensive equipment purchases. This site will not only gen-
erate additional taxes for the city, but it will provide ample employment opportunities, healthcare
alternatives and quality of life features. This site has significant elevation and utility challenges,
which take a substantial investment to overcome. Whtout TIF assistance, this location will not be
developed in this manner and the healthcare and hospitality projects will not be built.
Statement Identifying Financial Gap and necessity for use of Tax Increment Financing for
Proposed Project:
The proposed site work and construction costs will result in an overall improvement to the
area and allow for additional medical goods and services, employment opportunities, medical
office space and a hospitality/conference area. Tax increment financing is an integral and es-
sential component to the project completion which is contingent upon receipt of the expected
tax increment assistance. Feasibility is dependent upon TIF funds that will enable the creation
of adequate economics to make the necessary site improvements, utility extensions and new
construction costs at a competitive rate in the area.
Due to confidential nature of the projects, construction proforma available for discussion.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 17
June 2016
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 17 within the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific project in Area 17.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH OF HUSKER
HIGHWAY AND WEST OF U.S. HIGHWAY 281 (CURRENTLY PLATTED AS
EWOLDT SUBDIVISION). THE PROJECT WILL CONSIST OF DEMOLITION OF
EXISTING FARMS STRUCTURES, ALL SITE WORK AND GRADING TO
PROMOTE AND ENHANCE DRAINAGE ACROSS THE SITE, INTALLATION OF
ROADS, SEWER, WATER AND OTHER UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE TO
SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE. THE INTIAL PHASE OF THIS
DEVELOPMENT WILL CONSIST OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 4 STORY 64
BED HOSPITAL, A 66,000 SQUARE FOOT MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING AND A
103 BED HOTEL WITH 7000 SQUARE FEET OF CONFERENCE/MEETING SPACE.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in demolition, site clearance, and necessary
infrastructure and grading improvements to redevelop the southwest corner of Husker
Highway and U.S. Highway 281 currently platted as Ewoldt Sub in the City of Grand
Island. The use of Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan
and necessary to make this project affordable. The project will result in the development
of lots along this section of U.S. 281 toward U.S. Interstate 80. The proposed anchors for
this development location are a private hospital, medical office building and hotel with
conference space. Other potential uses of the remainder of the site include housing,
office space and retail development. The developer has indicated that this development
would not be considered for at this location without the use of TIF.
Prataria Ventures L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of Chief Industries, Inc., owns the
subject property. Chief Industries was founded in 1954 and is headquartered in Grand
Island. The developer is responsible for and has provided evidence that they can secure
adequate debt financing to cover the costs associated with the 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, 2018 towards the
allowable costs.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 107 / 174
Legal Descriptions: All of Ewoldt Subdivision in Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska.
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 108 / 174
This plan amendment provides for the issuance TIF Notes, the proceeds of which
will be granted to the Redeveloper. The tax increment will be captured for up to 15
tax years the payments for which become delinquent in years 2018 through 2032
inclusive or as otherwise dictated by the contract.
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 the construction of a 64
bed private hospital, medical office building and hotel/conference center. This area
is planned for commercial development with the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan
and will need to be rezoned to either a B2 General Commercial or CD Commercial
Development zone to accommodate the planned development.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
In accordance with Section 18-2147 of the Act and the terms of the Resolution
providing for the issuance of the TIF Note, the Authority hereby provides that any ad
valorem tax on the Redevelopment Project Area for the benefit of any public body be
divided for a period of fifteen years after the effective date of this provision as set forth in
the Redevelopment Contract, consistent with this Redevelopment Plan. Said taxes shall
be divided as follows:
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.
Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 109 / 174
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on June 9, 2015.[§18-2109] Such
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This redevelopment plan
amendment and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no changes in
the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for
the developer to rehabilitate the building for permitted uses on this property as defined by
the current and effective zoning regulations.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
This Redevelopment Plan for Area 17 does not anticipate real property acquisition by the
developer. There is no proposed acquisition by the authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan provides for the demolition and removal of
the existing abandoned farm buildings on the property.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. This property is
in private ownership and is planned for commercial uses.[§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] A
site plan of the area after the proposed redevelopment is also attached. [§18-2111(5)]

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 111 / 174
Proposed Site Plan as developed.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 112 / 174
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or other
Planning changes.
The area is zoned TA Transitional Agriculture. It is anticipated that this area will be
rezoned to accommodate the development to a B2 General Commercial or CD
Commercial Development Zone. The westerly portions of the property may be rezoned
to an RO Residential Office zone that allows apartments and office buildings and which
would provide a buffer between anticipated lakefront residential development to the west.
Internal streets will be platted to connect James Road on the north with the intersection of
James Road (Prairie View Road) and Rae Road on the south. All properties will be
graded to drain appropriately and streets will be designed based on final lot elevations.
Streets, utility infrastructure and grading will be completed for the whole development
during the first phase of this project. No changes are anticipated in building codes or
ordinances. No other planning changes contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is proposing to build on the site within the constraints allowed by the
proposed zoning districts. The CD zoning district allows for up to 50% of the CD zone
to be covered with buildings. The B2 zone would allow coverage of up to 100% of the
lot less required landscaping and the RO zoning district would allow up to 75% coverage.
Final zoning on the project site will have to be approved by the Grand Island City
Council prior to construction. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sewer and water are available to support this development. Sufficient capacity exists
within these systems to support this development at completion. Sewer, water will be
extended throughout the site. The developer will be responsible for engineering and
installation of all required utilities. Said utilities are expected to become part of the city
infrastructure and will be accepted into the city systems after construction and inspection.
Electric infrastructure will be extended throughout the site according to typical
commercial installation requirements. Natural gas and communications infrastructure
will be installed according to the agreements formed with the private companies that
provide those services. The City of Grand Island will secure all necessary easements for
utility infrastructure with the platting and development processes.
[§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. No individuals or businesses
will be relocated due to this development. [§18-2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106] No members of the
authority or staff of the CRA has any interest in this property.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 113 / 174
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
The developer owns this property. The developer has identified the following expenses
shown as exhibit B as potentially eligible for TIF based on the costs for the first phase
development and site preparation/grading, streets and utility infrastructure for the full 96
acre site at $28,910,839. Additional TIF may be generated and used for complete
development of the remainder of the site for site acquisition, planning, architecture, legal
and other eligible activities.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 114 / 174
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $28,910,839 from the proceeds of the TIF
Indebtedness issued by the Authority. This indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax
Increment Revenues generated from the project. TIF revenues shall be made available to
repay the original debt and associated interest after January 1, 2017 through December
2031. The developer will use the TIF Note to secure debt financing in an amount not to
exceed $28,910,839 to be paid to the note holder during the term of the financing.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
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 blighted and substandard
conditions within the area.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between September of 2016
and December of 2018. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years
beginning with the 2017 tax year. Additional projects may be brought forward for
separate consideration on parcels located outside of this initial phase.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 115 / 174
9. Justification of Project
Demolition, extension of utilities, substantial site grading and installation of streets are
necessary to facilitate redevelopment of this site. The redevelopment of this property by
Prataria Ventures, LLC, will result in increased employment opportunities in the medical
sector within Grand Island as well as expanded medical choices. This is a first step in
extending development south along U.S. Highway 281 toward U.S. Interstate 80. The
Grand Island City Council has made it clear with previous decisions that they support
development toward the I-80/281 interchange.
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.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $28,900,000 in public funds from tax
increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority
will be required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage
$87,626,121 in private sector financing; a private investment of $3.02 for every TIF
dollar invested.

Sources and Use of Funds
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 116 / 174
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2016,
valuation of approximately $381,064. Based on the 2015 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $8,421. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $95,421,589 upon full completion of phase 1, as a result of the site
redevelopment. This development will result in an estimated tax increase of over
$2,100,000 annually. The tax increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area
would not be available for use as city general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or
such shorter time as may be required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for
eligible private redevelopment costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2016 assessed value:$ 381,064
Estimated value after completion $95,421,859
Increment value $95,040,795
Annual TIF generated (estimated)$ 2,100,174
TIF bond issue $28,900,000
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $381,064.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $95,040,795. 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;
This plan provides extension of city water, sewer, storm sewer and streets to
accommodate the development of this site. No additional public service needs have been
identified. Existing water and waste water facilities will not be negatively impacted by
this development; city systems are sized to accommodate this growth. The electric utility
has sufficient capacity to support the development. This phase of the development will
not have any direct impact on schools. No residential units are proposed at this time.
Fire and police protection are available and should not be negatively impacted by this
development.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
There are not currently any employers or employees within the area of the
redevelopment project. This project will provide substantial opportunity for a variety of
jobs ranging from service/custodial jobs to those requiring professional degrees such as
doctors and nurses.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 117 / 174
(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 create direct competition in the medical market. Grand Island currently
has only one full service hospital, St. Francis. St. Francis is owned and operated by
Catholic Health Initiative (CHI). Opening an additional hospital will create additional
competition for staff. Grand Island has typically had a very low unemployment rate
overall. The positive impact to this competition is a choice in service providers and the
ability of individuals to choose a wider variety of medical procedures and less likelihood
that conflicts between a hospital organization and insurance organization will leave
consumers without a choice for local hospitalization covered by their insurance.
(e) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
Ultimately as a for profit development this project will have a substantial impact on the
valuation of the City. The proposed development includes upgraded facades and material
choices that will complement and enhance this entrance to the City of Grand Island. The
proposed hospital development will increase the choice for medical service providers in
Grand Island and the region. Medical services are a significant attraction, bringing
people living outside of Grand Island into Grand Island. Those visits translate to hotel
stays, restaurant purchases and retail purchases all increasing the sale and occupation
taxes collected across the city.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between September of 2016
and December of 2018. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the
property as of January 1, 2017. Excess valuation should be available for this project for
15 years beginning in 2017 with taxes due in 2018. 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 $28,900,000 the
projected amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current
tax rate.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING REQUEST INFORMATION
Describe Amount and Purpose for Which Tax Increment Financing is Requested:
Tax Increment Financing in the amount of $220,000, resulting in a $159,000 TIF loan, is
requested to be used for renovations.
Statement Identifying Financial Gap and Necessity for use of Tax Increment Financing for
Proposed Project: Temple Lofts
A large financial gap exists on this project after conventional financing is utilized. A
combination of additional owner equity, grants and TIF are needed to make the return
sufficient. The owner is contributing $278,691 and there are grants of $228,200. TIF
will fill the remaining gap, making this project feasible. The project is asking for
$220,000 in TIF, resulting in $159,000 TIF loan amortized over 15 years.
Without the availability of TIF funding for the project, it would not be feasible for the
developer to proceed with this redevelopment. Please see Exhibit “D”, it shows a
negative cash flow and return without the use of TIF.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 1
July 2016
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 THE BUILDING LOCATED AT 210 N. WALNUT
STREET FOR RESIDENTIAL USES, INCLUDING FIRE/LIFE SAFETY
IMPROVEMENTS AND BUILDING REHABILITATION AND REMODELING.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in rehabilitation expenses associated with
redevelopment of the Federation Labor Temple Building located at 210 N. Walnut Street
into an apartment building with 4 garden level apartments and 7 upper story apartments.
The use of Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan and
necessary to make this project affordable. The project will result in renovating this
historic telephone exchange and office building into quality market rate residential units
consistent with the downtown redevelopment plan and priorities to add 50 residential
units downtown by 2019. This project would not be possible without the use of TIF.
T.W. Ziller Properties, LLC is the owner of the property. T.W. Ziller Properties, LLC.,
purchased this property in 2014. The purchase price is not included as an eligible TIF
activity. The building is currently vacant. The developer is responsible for and has
provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to cover the costs
associated with the remodeling and rehabilitation of this building. The Grand Island
Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes
generated over the 15 year period beginning January 1, 2017 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”)
210 N Walnut Street in Grand Island Nebraska (Federation Labor Temple Exchange
Building)
Legal Descriptions: North 44 feet of Lot 8, Block 63, Original Town of Grand Island,
Hall County, Nebraska.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 131 / 174
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 132 / 174
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 residential uses as permitted in the B3 Heavy Business
Zoning District.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
In accordance with Section 18-2147 of the Act and the terms of the Resolution
providing for the issuance of the TIF Note, the Authority hereby provides that any ad
valorem tax on the Redevelopment Project Area for the benefit of any public body be
divided for a period of fifteen years after the effective date of this provision as set forth in
the Redevelopment Contract, consistent with this Redevelopment Plan. Said taxes shall
be divided as follows:
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.
Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on December 19, 2000.[§18-2109] Such
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 133 / 174
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This redevelopment plan
amendment and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no changes in
the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for
the developer to rehabilitate the building for permitted uses on this property as defined by
the current and effective zoning regulations.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
The Redevelopment Plan for Area 1 provides for real property acquisition and this plan
amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the
authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan does not provide for the demolition and
removal any structures on this property.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. All of the area
around the site in private ownership is planned for Downtown Commercial development;
this includes housing and commercial uses within the same structure. This property is in
private ownership. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] The attached map also is an accurate site
plan of the area after redevelopment. [§18-2111(5)]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 134 / 174
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 135 / 174
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned B3-Heavy Business zone. No zoning changes are anticipated with this
project. No changes are anticipated in street layouts or grades. No changes are
anticipated in building codes or ordinances. Nor are any other planning changes
contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is rehabilitating the existing building. The developer is not proposing to
increase the size of the building and current building meets the applicable regulations
regarding site coverage and intensity of use. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sewer and water are available to support this development. The developer will be
required to extend a water line capable of providing sufficient water for the sprinkler
system required to convert this building in a multifamily apartment building.
Electric utilities are sufficient for the proposed use of this building.
No other utilities would be impacted by the development.
The developer will be responsible for replacing any sidewalks damaged during
construction of the project.
No other utilities would be impacted by the development. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. This property, owned by the
developer, is vacant and has been vacant for more than 1 year; no relocation is
contemplated or necessary. [§18-2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106] No members of the
authority or staff of the CRA have any interest in this property.
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
The developer owns this property and acquisition is not part of the request for tax
increment financing. The estimated costs of rehabilitation of this property is $1,145,914
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 136 / 174
planning related expenses for Architectural and Engineering services of $46,100 and are
included as a TIF eligible expense. Legal, Developer and Audit Fees including a
reimbursement to the City and the CRA of $33,690 are included as TIF eligible expense.
The total of eligible expenses for this project is $1,225,604. The CRA has granted
$175,000 to this project to offset the cost of life safety improvements and will consider a
façade application for $53,200. The total eligible expenses for this project less other
grant funds by the CRA is $997,404.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $220,000 from the proceeds of the TIF
Indebtedness issued by the Authority based on projections from the lender this will result
in a loan for the TIF proceeds of $159,000. This indebtedness will be repaid from the
Tax Increment Revenues generated from the project. TIF revenues shall be made
available to repay the original debt and associated interest after January 1, 2017 through
December 2032.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
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. This will accomplish the goal of both the Downtown Business
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 137 / 174
Improvement District and the Grand Island City Council of increasing the number of
residential units available in the Downtown area.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between August 2016 and
December of 2017. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years
beginning with the 2017 tax year.
9. Justification of Project
This is an historic building in downtown Grand Island that will be preserved with this
project. The addition of a new upper story residential unit is consistent with goals to
build 50 new residential units in downtown Grand Island by 2019 and with the goals of
the 2014 Grand Island housing study and Grow Grand Island. Since this is a split entry
building with garden level and upper story floors it is not practical to include commercial
space at the ground level. The use of this entire building for residential is appropriate.
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.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $220,000 in public funds from tax increment
financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority will be
required to complete the project. This property has requests façade improvement funding
of $53,200 and received a life/safety grant of $175,000. This investment by the Authority
will leverage $777,000 in private sector financing; a private investment of $1.73 for
every TIF and grant dollar investment.
Use of Funds.
Description TIF Funds Other

Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition $2,500 $2,500

Contingency $74,154 $74,154
TOTALS $220,000 $228,200 $862,893 $1,311,093
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2016,
valuation of approximately $64,628. Based on the 2015 levy this would result in a real
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 138 / 174
property tax of approximately $1,235. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $656,843 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $14,515 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such shorter time as may be
required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment
costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2016 assessed value:$ 64,628
Estimated value after completion $ 721,471
Increment value $ 656,843
Annual TIF generated (estimated)$ 14,515
TIF bond issue $ 220,000
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $64,628. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $656,843. 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;
This will provide additional housing options in the downtown area consistent with the
planned development in Downtown Grand Island.
(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 in any manner
different from any other expanding business within the Grand Island area. This will
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 139 / 174
provide housing options for employees of Downtown businesses that wish to live
Downtown.
(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 is consistent the goals of the Council, the Downtown BID, the CRA, and
Grow Grand Island to create additional housing units in downtown Grand Island.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between April of
2016 and December 31 of 2017. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of
the property as of January 1, 2016. Excess valuation should be available for this project
for 15 years beginning in 2017 with taxes due in 2018. 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 $220,000 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 $997,000 on TIF eligible activities in excess of other grants given. 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.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING REQUEST INFORMATION
Describe Amount and Purpose for Which Tax Increment Financing is Requested:
$247,561 of tax increment financing (based on a 0% lending rate) is being requested to assist in
the construction and renovation of commercial warehouse and office space located at 2716 West
Old Highway 30 in Grand Island, Nebraska. The project involves the demolition and replacement
of an existing office and warehousing structure and concrete parking with a new steel building and
parking along with grading work to improve drainage. The TIF funds will enable the project to be

MIDDLETON PROPERTIES II, LLC
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PROJECTION ASSUMPTIONS
Year Ending December 31, 2017
NOTE A – NATURE AND LIMITATION OF PROJECTIONS
The accompanying projection presents, to the best of Middleton Properties II, LLC’s, (Middleton’s) knowledge
and belief, cash receipts and disbursements for the year ending December 31, 2017 to be generated by a
warehouse and office facility (e.g. “the project”) located in Grand Island, Nebraska. Stated cash receipts and
disbursements are intended to covey results of operations after the anticipated 2016 completion of the project
assuming funding of the estimated construction costs of $927,276 both with, and in the absence of, tax
increment financing assistance. The projection reflects their judgment as of May 24, 2016, the date of this
projection, of the expected conditions and their expected course of action. Actual results are likely to differ
from the projected results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Those
differences may be material. The assumptions disclosed herein are those that management believes are
significant to the projections. The projected information was prepared for use in a tax increment financing
request to the Grand Island, Nebraska Community Redevelopment Authority.
NOTE B – BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The presentations of cash receipts and disbursements for the projection period and the year ending December
31, 2017 portray results using the cash basis of accounting. The results of this basis differ from those using
generally accepted accounting principles primarily because the cash basis does not recognize assets other than
cash and the debt principal outstanding under the tax increment financing or construction or building loan(s).
NOTE C – CASH RECEIPTS
Middleton Properties II, LLC is a lessor of a 14,950 square foot warehouse and office building. Rental revenue
has been determined based on the historical experience of the company (and related parties) in leasing space to
tenants in the existing location as well as prevailing rent per square foot for similar real estate in the same
locale. The projection assumes full occupancy of the available space. It is assumed that no disparity exists
between office and warehouse spaces in arriving at the $6 per square foot annual rental rate applied.
The projection includes two scenarios dependent on whether or not the tax increment financing (TIF) request is
approved. In the event of TIF approval, Middleton will receive additional TIF revenue from the County based on
the anticipated increase in the assessed value generated by the proposed project and the additional real estate
tax that increase will generate. Both the TIF financing and real estate taxes are subject to the final
determination of assessed value.
NOTE D – CASH DISBURSEMENTS
Interest expense and principal debt service are based on the assumption that with the exception of any TIF
financing assistance, the entire renovation project will be financed through capital contributions from the
owners and additional debt incurred to cover the anticipated construction costs.
TIF debt is based on an initial $173,919 principal balance that can be serviced with the anticipated incremental
real estate tax generated by the project. The loan is expected to have a 15-year term with scheduled monthly
payments of $1,375 (annual $16,504) and an interest rate of approximately 5.0 percent.

Schroeder & Schreiner, P.C. 7
MIDDLETON PROPERTIES II, LLC
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PROJECTION ASSUMPTIONS, Continued
Year Ending December 31, 2017
NOTE D – CASH DISBURSEMENTS, continued
The remaining construction costs, not funded through tax increment financing, will be satisfied with $248,889 of
additional capital contributions and bank debt for the residual obligation. These loans are expected to have a
15-year term with an interest rate of approximately 5.0 percent. Scenarios contemplating the denial of tax
increment financing will assume bank debt with the same terms as that on the TIF debt.
Projected real estate tax is expected to equal the current tax (for the 2015 year) plus additional tax generated by
applying the current levy rate to the anticipated increase in assessed value to be generated by the renovation
project.
Projected costs for snow removal, repairs and maintenance, and professional fees are all based on Middleton’s
experience in renting similar real estate in the same local or estimates arrived at from knowledge of comparable
lessors. Utilities, insurance, and other unstated costs are to be paid by the tenant.
Projected member distributions to cover estimated individual income tax (or contributions to reflect estimated
income tax benefits) are based on anticipated taxable pass-through income and the highest marginal Federal
and State income tax rates of 39.6 percent and 6.84 percent respectively, expected to be in effect during the
projection period. Although not a cash expenditure, estimated depreciation has been calculated and included in
the projection to arrive at net taxable income used in determining these member distributions / contributions.
Estimated capitalized costs are depreciated under either the straight line method for 39-year life building
components or the 150 percent declining balance method for 15-year life paving components. In the scenario
assuming tax increment financing, the estimated depreciable basis of the building component has been reduced
to reflect non-depreciable costs financed by non-shareholder TIF capital contributions.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 18
July
2016
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 18 within the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific project in Area 18.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF OLD U.S.
HIGHWAY 30 AND EAST OF INDUSTRIAL LANE (LOTS 2 AND 3 OF
COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL PARK SIXTH SUBDIVISION). A NEW WAREHOSE
AND RENOVATED OFFICE SPACE FOR MIDDLETON ELECTRIC,(A LOCAL
BUSINESS) INCLUDING DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING OBSOLETE
STRUCTURE, RENOVATION OF THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING AND
NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE AND GRADING IMPROVEMENTS.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in demolition, site clearance, rehabilitation
and necessary infrastructure and grading improvements to redevelop 2716 and 2802 W.
Old Highway 30 (Lots 2 and 3 of Commercial Industrial Park Sixth Subdivision in the
City of Grand Island). The use of Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the
development plan and necessary to make this project affordable. The project will result
in the construction of a new central warehouse and renovated office space for Middleton
Electric. The developer has indicated that this development would not be considered for
at this location without the use of TIF.
Middleton Properties L.L.C. owns the subject property and currently operates the Grand
Island offices of Middleton Electric from this location. Middleton Electric also has
offices and operations in Lincoln and Kearney. There is an old warehouse and off ice
building on this property. The developer is proposing to replace the existing warehouse
with one capable of serving as centralized storage for all three Middleton Electric
locations and renovating the office space at the Grand Island offices. The developer is
responsible for and has provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to
cover the costs associated with the 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, 2018 towards the allowable costs.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:

Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 163 / 174
This plan amendment provides for the issuance TIF Notes, the proceeds of which
will be granted to the Redeveloper. The tax increment will be captured for up to 15
tax years the payments for which become delinquent in years 2018 through 2032
inclusive or as otherwise dictated by the contract.
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 the construction of a new
ware housing space and remodeling of an existing office at this location as permitted
in the M2 Heavy Manufacturing Zoning District.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
In accordance with Section 18-2147 of the Act and the terms of the Resolution
providing for the issuance of the TIF Note, the Authority hereby provides that any ad
valorem tax on the Redevelopment Project Area for the benefit of any public body be
divided for a period of fifteen years after the effective date of this provision as set forth in
the Redevelopment Contract, consistent with this Redevelopment Plan. Said taxes shall
be divided as follows:
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.
Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 164 / 174
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on August 25, 2015.[§18-2109] Such
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This redevelopment plan
amendment and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no changes in
the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for
the developer to rehabilitate the building for permitted uses on this property as defined by
the current and effective zoning regulations.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
This Redevelopment Plan for Area 18 does not anticipate real property acquisition by the
developer. There is no proposed acquisition by the authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan provides for the demolition and removal of
the existing warehouse on the property.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. This property is
in private ownership and surrounding properties are planned for mixed use
manufacturing. The property south of Old Highway 30 is owned by the Union Pacific
Rail Road. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] A site plan of the area after redevelopment is
also attached as Exhibit A. [§18-2111(5)]

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 166 / 174
Proposed Site Plan as developed.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 167 / 174
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned M2 Heavy Manufacturing zone. No zoning changes are anticipated
with this project. No changes are anticipated in street layouts or grades. No changes are
anticipated in building codes or ordinances. Nor are any other planning changes
contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is proposing to build on the site within the constraints allowed by the
current zoning district. The M2 zoning district allows for up to 65% of each lot to be
covered with buildings. The proposed warehouse on lot 2 will cover approximately 48%
of the lot. The office building on lot 3 will not be increased in size and is a conforming
building. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sewer and water are available to support this development. No new services are
anticipated with this development. However, the Redeveloper will install new gas,
sewer, water and electrical lines to the new warehouse. Those improvements will be on
site and not impact the city’s main lines. Additionally, the Redeveloper will install a new
manhole on the city sewer line.
. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. No individuals or businesses
will be relocated due to this development. [§18-2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106] No members of the
authority or staff of the CRA has any interest in this property.
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
The developer owns this property. Demolition of the existing warehouse including
asbestos removal is estimated at $69,000 and is a TIF eligible expense. Site preparation
including grading, dirt work, and well abandonment is expected to cost about $90,000
and is a TIF eligible expense. Architecture, engineering and survey cost for the project
are estimated at $63,400. Utility connections and extensions and drive access for the new
warehouse are estimated to cost $60,000 and are a TIF eligible expense. Renovation of
the existing office building is expected to cost about $46,000 and is an eligible expense.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 168 / 174
The blight study for this area along with attorney’s fees for the applicant, are $8,000.
Costs for legal services fees advertising and accounting for the CRA and City of Grand
Island are an additional $ 5,600 of eligible expenses. The total of eligible expenses for
this project is $ 342,000.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $247,561 from the proceeds of the TIF
Indebtedness issued by the Authority. This indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax
Increment Revenues generated from the project. TIF revenues shall be made available to
repay the original debt and associated interest after January 1, 2017 through December
2031. The developer will use the TIF Note to secure debt financing in the amount of
$173,919 with $ 247,561 to be paid to the note holder during the term of the financing.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
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 blighted conditions
including renovating and rebuilding older buildings within the area.
8. Time Frame for Development
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 169 / 174
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between September of 2016
and December of 2017. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years
beginning with the 2017 tax year.
9. Justification of Project
Demolition, extension of utilities and substantial site grading are necessary to facilitate
rebuilding at this site. The redevelopment of this property by Middleton Electric will
result in greater investment by the company in their Grand Island location and will keep
their employee base within the Grand Island area.
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.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $247,561 in public funds from tax increment
financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority will be
required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage
$662,715 in private sector financing; a private investment of $2.74 for every TIF dollar
invested.
Use of Funds.
Description TIF Funds Private Funds Total
Demolition $68,488 $68,488
Site Preparation $90,295 $90,295
Utilities and Drive Access $16,148 $53,515 $59,663
Arch/Engineering/Planning $18,586 $44,874 $63,460
Building Costs $467,356 $467,356
Renovation $46,044 $46,044
Landscaping/Lighting/Parking $123,970 $123,970
Fees Legal Study $18,000 $18,000
TOTALS $247,561 $689,715 $937,276
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2016,
valuation of approximately $116,960. Based on the 2015 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $2,365. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $820,000 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $16,500 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such shorter time as may be
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/13/2016 Page 170 / 174
required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment
costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2016 assessed value:$ 116,960
Estimated value after completion $ 936,667
Increment value $ 819,707
Annual TIF generated (estimated)$ 16,504
TIF bond issue $ 247,561
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $116,960.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $819,707. 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;
This plan provides for the placement of a new manhole in the city’s sewer line. 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.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This will have minimal impact on employers or employees within the redevelopment
project area. It will create the opportunity for additional employees within Middleton
Electric in the Grand Island area.
(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 in any manner
different from any other expanding business within the Grand Island area. The Grand
Island labor market is tight but this will create additional full time jobs in the regions.
This will allow a local company to expand in our community.
(e) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.

Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between September of 2016
and August of 2017. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the property
as of January 1, 2016. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years
beginning in 2017 with taxes due in 2018. 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 $247,561 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
more than $340,000 on TIF eligible activities.
