and in the Resolution. The Authority shall have no obligation to provide grant funds from any
source other than as set forth in the Resolution and this Redevelopment Contract.
Section 3.05 Creation of Funds.
In the Resolution, the Authority has provided for the creation of the following funds and
accounts which funds shall be held by the Authority separate and apart from all other funds and
moneys of the Authority and the City:

Fund shall be used and applied on the Business Day prior to each Interest Payment Date (i) to make
any payments to the City or the Authority as may be required under the Redevelopment Contract and
(ii) to pay principal of or interest on the Note to the extent of any money then remaining the Note
Fund on such Interest Payment Date. Money in the Note Fund shall be used solely for the purposes
described herein and in the Resolution. All Revenues received through and including December 31,

Authority shall disburse any money on deposit in the Project Fund from time to time to pay or as

completion of the steps set forth herein and in the Resolution. If a sufficient amount to pay a properly
completed Disbursement Request (as defined in Section 4.02) is not in the Project Fund at the time of
the receipt by the Authority of such request, the Authority shall notify the owner of the Note and such
owner may deposit an amount sufficient to pay such request with the Authority for such payment. As
set forth in the Resolution, if the Redeveloper is the owner of the Note and the Redeveloper so elects,
the Authority shall make a grant to Redeveloper in the amount of an approved Disbursement Request;
in such event, the approved Disbursement Request amount shall offset funding of the Note.

Section 6.01 General Remedies of Authority and Redeveloper.
Subject to the further provisions of this Article VI, in the event of any failure to perform or
breach of this Redevelopment Contract or any of its terms or conditions, by any party hereto or
any successor to such party, such party, or successor, shall, upon written notice from the other,
proceed immediately to commence such actions as may be reasonably designed to cure or remedy
such failure to perform or breach which cure or remedy shall be accomplished within a reasonable
time by the diligent pursuit of corrective action. In case such action is not taken, or diligently
pursued, or the failure to perform or breach shall not be cured or remedied within a reasonable
time, this Redevelopment Contract shall be in default and the aggrieved party may institute such
proceedings as may be necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under this 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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 39 / 211
Living Waters 124 W 3rd CRA Area 1 Page 12
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 September 1,
2023, or shall abandon construction work related to the Project Costs, once commenced,
for any period of 180 days, excepting delays caused by inclement weather,
(b) the Redeveloper, shall fail to pay real estate taxes or assessments on the
Redevelopment Project Property owned by the Redeveloper or any part thereof when due;
and
(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 nine percent (9%)
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 as provided in Section 4.01.
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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 40 / 211
Living Waters 124 W 3rd CRA Area 1 Page 13
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 or 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 pledged pursuant to the
Resolution. The Redeveloper releases the City and Authority from, agrees that neither the City nor
Authority shall be liable for, and agrees to indemnify and hold the City and Authority harmless
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 41 / 211
Living Waters 124 W 3rd CRA Area 1 Page 14
from any liability for any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of any person that
may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Project.
The Redeveloper will indemnify and hold each of the City and Authority and their
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 occurring
in, on or about that portion of the Project owned by the Redeveloper, during the term of this
Redevelopment Contract or arising out of any action or inaction of Redeveloper, related to
activities of the Redeveloper or its agents during the construction of the public infrastructure or
public right of ways in the Project.

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

project in excess of such amount, if any, shall be allocated to and, when collected, paid into

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

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 - 1/18/2023 Page 56 / 211
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
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. The Hall County Regional Planning
Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on September 7, 2022 and passed
Resolution 2022-13 confirming that this project is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan for the City of Grand Island.
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. The developer has acquired the property
and will be including acquisition as an eligible activity. 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. Demotion of internal structures to accommodate
the redevelopment is anticipated and permitted.
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 - 1/18/2023 Page 57 / 211
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 58 / 211
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.
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 is vacant and
has not been used for any residential purposes. [§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 purchased the property for $390,000. The estimated costs of rehabilitation
of this property is $401,573. Other construction and soft costs are $39,792. Legal,

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 59 / 211
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 $123,400 from the proceeds of the TIF. 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, 2024 through December 2038.
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 Railside Business
Improvement District and the Grand Island City Council of refurbishing street level
commercial space and increasing the number of residential units available in the
Downtown area that has been underutilized for several years.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed by October 2023. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2024 tax
year.
9. Justification of Project
This building in downtown Grand Island was built in 1915 and will be preserved with this
project. The mixed use of commercial space and residential units is consistent with the
long term development plans for Downtown.
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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 60 / 211
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 $123,400 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
$721,465 in private sector financing; a private investment of $5.84 for every TIF dollar
invested.
Use of Funds Source of Funds
Description TIF
Funds
Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition $123,400 $266,600 $390,000
Renovation Costs $401,573 $401,573
Contingency $20,079 $20,079
Architectural &
Engineering $7,900 $7,900
Financing fees/ audit $11,813 $11,813
Legal/ TIF contract $13,500 $13,500
Total $123,400 $721,465 $844,365
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2024,
valuation of approximately $219,769. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $4,765. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase
by $331,326 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This development
will result in an estimated tax increase of over $184,7 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 2021 assessed value: $219,769
Estimated value after completion $551,095
Increment value $331,326
Annual TIF generated (estimated)$$7,184
TIF bond issue $123,400
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $219,769. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $331,326. No tax shifts
are anticipated from the project outside of the use of TIF to support the
redevelopment. It is not anticipate that any additional tax burdens will be assumed by
public entities as a result of this project. The project creates additional valuation that
will support taxing entities long after the project is paid off.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 61 / 211
(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 in any significant way. 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 residential and commercial space 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
provide refurbish Downtown residential and commercial space options for residents
and business owners who wish to relocate to the Downtown area.
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will have a minimal impact on the Grand Island School
system as it will likely not result in any increased attendance. The majority of
the units to be developed with this project is a two bedroom unit and unlikely to
be a family unit, especially for families with school age children.
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2015 to
2019 according the American Community Survey is 2.61. According to the 2010
census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island was between the ages of 5 and 18.
2020 census number for this population cohort are not yet available but 27.6% of
the 2021 population is less than 18 years of age this is the same percentage as the
under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the averages hold it would be expected that there
would be a maximum of one school age child generated by this development
though that is mitigated by the fact that there are 2 small 2 bedroom units and a
single 1 bedroom unit..
(f) 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 upgraded residential and commercial spaces
within downtown Grand Island.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 62 / 211
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed October 2023. The base tax
year should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2024. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning in 2024 with taxes
due in 2024. 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 $123,400 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 $721,465.on TIF
eligible activities in excess of other grants given.

thereof or his legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability upon such Note, including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

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 payment, and then only to the extent of the

shall not be regarded as a trustee of such money.

for redemption on the applicable redemption date.
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.

exclusive benefit of the Owner and shall be irrevocable.

Nebraska Constitution, Sections 18-2101 to 18-2155, inclusive, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, as

the Resolution under the column headed “Principal Amount Advanced” on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Table”)

amount of this Note under the column headed “Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount” on the Table.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the records maintained by the Registrar as to the principal amount issued and
principal amounts paid on this Note shall be the official records of the Cumulative Outstanding Principal
Amount of this Note for all purposes.
Reference is hereby made to the Resolution, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk,
and to all of the provisions of which each Owner of this Note by its acceptance hereof hereby assents, for

pledge; the conditions upon which the Resolution may be amended or supplemented with or without the
consent of the Owner of this Note; the rights, duties and obligations of the Authority and the Registrar

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.
This note is being issued as a registered note without coupons. This note is subject to exchange as
provided in the Resolution.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required to have
happened, to exist and to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Note have happened,

be allocated to, is pledged to, and, when collected, paid into a special fund of the Authority
(designated in the Resolution as the "Note Fund") to pay the principal of, the interest on,
and any premium due in connection with the Indebtedness. When such Indebtedness,

The Authority shall authorize the issuance of the Indebtedness in the form and stated
principal amount and bearing interest and being subject to such terms and conditions as are
specified in the Resolution and this Redevelopment Contract; provided, at all times the maximum
amount of the Indebtedness shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the stated face amount of the
Indebtedness, or (ii) the sum of all Project Costs incurred by the Redeveloper as set forth on Exhibit
D. No Indebtedness will be issued until Redeveloper has acquired fee title to the Redevelopment

forming a part of the Project as described in the Plan.
Prior to September 1, 2023, the Authority shall issue one Tax Increment Development
Revenue Note, in one taxable series, in a maximum principal amount of $715,000, in substantially
the form shown on the attached Exhibit C (“TIF Note”), for net funds available to be purchased by
Redeveloper (“TIF Note Purchaser”), in a written form acceptable to Authority’s attorney, and

Resolution, the Authority’s Treasurer on behalf of the Authority shall have the authority to
determine the timing of issuing the Indebtedness and all the other necessary details of the

understanding and the Authority's understanding that interest on the Indebtedness will be
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes and subject to Nebraska State income
taxation.
Section 3.03 Pledge of Revenues.
Under the terms of the Resolution, the Authority pledges 100% of the available annual TIF

equal to the principal amount thereof, payable as provided in Section 3.02 and this Section 3.04.

Redevelopment Contract. In accordance with the terms of the Redevelopment Plan the
Redeveloper is to receive a grant sufficient to pay a portion of the costs of site acquisition,

source other than as set forth in the Resolution and this Redevelopment Contract.

ARTICLE VI
DEFAULT, REMEDIES; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.01 General Remedies of Authority and Redeveloper.
Subject to the further provisions of this Article VI, in the event of any failure to perform or
breach of this Redevelopment Contract or any of its terms or conditions, by any party hereto or
any successor to such party, such party, or successor, shall, upon written notice from the other,
proceed immediately to commence such actions as may be reasonably designed to cure or remedy
such failure to perform or breach which cure or remedy shall be accomplished within a reasonable
time by the diligent pursuit of corrective action. In case such action is not taken, or diligently
pursued, or the failure to perform or breach shall not be cured or remedied within a reasonable
time, this Redevelopment Contract shall be in default and the aggrieved party may institute such
proceedings as may be necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under this 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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 98 / 211
Liberty Campus GI 2023 CRA Area 16 Page 12
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 September 1,
2023, or shall abandon construction work related to the Project Costs, once commenced,
for any period of 180 days, excepting delays caused by inclement weather,
(b) the Redeveloper, shall fail to pay real estate taxes or assessments on the
Redevelopment Project Property owned by the Redeveloper or any part thereof when due;
and
(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 nine percent (9%)
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 as provided in Section 4.01.
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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 99 / 211
Liberty Campus GI 2023 CRA Area 16 Page 13
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 or 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 pledged pursuant to the
Resolution. The Redeveloper releases the City and Authority from, agrees that neither the City nor
Authority shall be liable for, and agrees to indemnify and hold the City and Authority harmless
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 100 / 211
Liberty Campus GI 2023 CRA Area 16 Page 14
from any liability for any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of any person that
may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Project.
The Redeveloper will indemnify and hold each of the City and Authority and their
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 occurring
in, on or about that portion of the Project owned by the Redeveloper, during the term of this
Redevelopment Contract or arising out of any action or inaction of Redeveloper, related to
activities of the Redeveloper or its agents during the construction of the public infrastructure or
public right of ways in the Project.

interest or encumbrance upon any of the property or upon any of the income, receipts, or money and

constitutional, statutory or charter limitation upon the creation of general obligation indebtedness of

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

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 118 / 211
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 $715,000 from the proceeds of the TIF. This
indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax Increment Revenues generated from the project.

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 preserving these historic buildings
with new uses.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed by December 2023. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2024 tax
year.
9. Justification of Project
These buildings at the former Grand Island Veterans’ Home in north central Grand Island
will be preserved with this project. The developer intends to make the units available to
persons aged 55 and over with a preference for veterans, gold star families and the
surviving spouse of a veteran. This proposed use will provide housing in Grand Island
and honor the history of the Veterans’ Home.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 119 / 211
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 $715,000 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
$16,715,000 in private sector financing; a private investment of $23.78 for every TIF
dollar invested.
Use of Funds Source of funds
Description TIF Funds Private
Funds
Total
Building Acquisition $3,060,000 $3,060,000
Renovation Costs $10,170,000 $10,170,000
Demolition $380,000 $380,000
Grading/Dirtwork $200,000 $200,000
Planning (Arch. & Eng.) $135,000 $355,000 $490,000
Financing fees/ audit $320,000 $320,000
Legal/ TIF contract $160,000 $160,000
Developer Fees $1,450,000 $1,450,000
Other $1,200,000 $1,200,000
Total $715,000 $16,715,000 $17,430,000
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2024,
valuation of approximately $5,085,000. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $110,262. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $4,685,000 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $101,589 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 2023 assessed value: $400,000
Estimated value after completion $5,085,000
Increment value $4,685,000
Annual TIF generated (estimated)$101,598
TIF bond issue $715,000
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 120 / 211
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $400,000. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $4,685,000. A tax shift of
$715,000 is anticipated from the project. It is not anticipated that any additional tax
burdens will be assumed by public entities as a result of this 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 in any significant way. 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 provide additional residential options in 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 similar housing projects within the Grand Island area.
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will have a minimal impact on the Grand Island School
system as it will likely not result in any increased attendance. The plan for
this development is that the units will be marketed to seniors aged 55 and older
with a preference for veterans. This does not preclude the possibility of renting to
non-veterans or those younger than age 55. The majority of the units to be
developed with this project are one bedroom units (Anderson building 10 of 17;
Pershing Building 25 of 31) and unlikely to be a family units, especially for
families with school age children, with the rest planned as two bedroom units
(Anderson 7 of 17; Pershing 6 of 31).
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2015 to
2019 according the American Community Survey is 2.61. According to the 2010
census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island was between the ages of 5 and 18.
2020 census number for this population cohort are not yet available but 27.6% of
the 2021 population is less than 18 years of age this is the same percentage as the
under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the averages hold it would be expected that there
would be a maximum of 25 school age children generated by this development
though that is mitigated by the fact that there a majority (35 of 48) of these units
are 1 bedroom units. If the one bedroom units are excluded a maximum of 7
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 121 / 211
school age children would be generated by this development
(f) 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 and the CRA to breath life back into
the Veterans Home property. The property has been vacant since the home moved to
Kearney in 2016. This property was conveyed to the CRA and then immediately to
the developer on July 15, 2020.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed December 2023. The base
tax year should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2024. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning in 2024 with taxes
due in 2024. 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 $715,000 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 $14,000,000.on TIF
eligible activities in excess of other grants given.

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.
The Registrar may from time to time enter the respective amounts advanced pursuant to the terms of
the Resolution under the column headed “Principal Amount Advanced” on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Table”)
and may enter the aggregate principal amount of this Note then outstanding under the column headed

Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount is paid to the Registered Owner pursuant to the redemption
provisions of the Resolution, the Registered Owner may enter the principal amount paid on this Note under
the column headed “Principal Amount Redeemed” on the Table and may enter the then outstanding principal
amount of this Note under the column headed “Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount” on the Table.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the records maintained by the Registrar as to the principal amount issued and
principal amounts paid on this Note shall be the official records of the Cumulative Outstanding Principal
Amount of this Note for all purposes.
Reference is hereby made to the Resolution, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk,
and to all of the provisions of which each Owner of this Note by its acceptance hereof hereby assents, for
definitions of terms; the description of and the nature and extent of the security for this Note; the Tax Revenue
pledged to the payment of the principal on this Note; the nature and extent and manner of enforcement of the
pledge; the conditions upon which the Resolution may be amended or supplemented 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.
This note is being issued as a registered note without coupons. This note is subject to exchange as
provided in the Resolution.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required to have
happened, to exist and to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Note have happened,
do exist and have been performed in regular and due time, form and manner; that this Note does not exceed
any constitutional, statutory or charter limitation on indebtedness; and that provision has been made for the

amount of the Indebtedness shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the stated face amount of the

forming a part of the Project as described in the Plan.
Prior to September 1, 2023, the Authority shall issue one Tax Increment Development
Revenue Note, in one taxable series, in a maximum principal amount of $4,885,000, in

Redevelopment Contract and the Resolution. Redeveloper acknowledges that it is its
understanding and the Authority's understanding that interest on the Indebtedness will be

taxation.

Section 3.04 Purchase and Pledge of Indebtedness/Grant of Net Proceeds of Indebtedness.
The Redeveloper has agreed to purchase the Indebtedness from the Authority for a price
equal to the principal amount thereof, payable as provided in Section 3.02 and this Section 3.04.

including those items described on Exhibit D (the "Project Costs"), in the aggregate maximum

amount not to exceed $4,885,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of the
Indebtedness and the grant shall not exceed the amount of Project Costs as certified pursuant to
Section 4.02 of this Redevelopment Contract. Such grant shall be made to the Redeveloper upon
certification of Project Costs as set forth herein and in the Resolution, and payment purchase of
the Indebtedness as provided in Section 3.02, unless Redeveloper elects to offset the payment of
the purchase of the Indebtedness with the grant proceeds as provided herein and in the Resolution.
The Authority shall have no obligation to provide grant funds from any source other than as set
forth in the Resolution and this Redevelopment Contract.
Section 3.05 Creation of Funds.
In the Resolution, the Authority has provided for the creation of the following funds and
accounts which funds shall be held by the Authority separate and apart from all other funds and
moneys of the Authority and the City:
(a) a special trust fund called the “Prataria Medical Office Building Project #2 Note Fund” (the
“Note Fund”). All of the TIF Revenues shall be deposited into the Note Fund. The TIF Revenues
accumulated in the Note Fund shall be used and applied on the Business Day prior to each Interest
Payment Date (i) to make any payments to the City or the Authority as may be required under the
Redevelopment Contract and (ii) to pay principal of or interest on the Note to the extent of any money
then remaining the Note Fund on such Interest Payment Date. Money in the Note Fund shall be used
solely for the purposes described herein and in the Resolution. All Revenues received through and
including December 31, 2041, shall be used solely for the payments required herein and by the
Resolution; and
(b) a special trust fund called the “Prataria Medical Office Building Project #2 Fund” (the “Project
Fund”) The Authority shall disburse any money on deposit in the Project Fund from time to time to
pay or as reimbursement for payment made for the Project Costs in each case within 5 Business Days
after completion of the steps set forth herein and in the Resolution. If a sufficient amount to pay a
properly completed Disbursement Request (as defined in Section 4.02) is not in the Project Fund at
the time of the receipt by the Authority of such request, the Authority shall notify the owner of the
Note and such owner may deposit an amount sufficient to pay such request with the Authority for
such payment. As set forth in the Resolution, if the Redeveloper is the owner of the Note and the
Redeveloper so elects, the Authority shall make a grant to Redeveloper in the amount of an approved
Disbursement Request; in such event, the approved Disbursement Request amount shall offset
funding of the Note.

DEFAULT, REMEDIES; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.01 General Remedies of Authority and Redeveloper.
Subject to the further provisions of this Article VI, in the event of any failure to perform or
breach of this Redevelopment Contract or any of its terms or conditions, by any party hereto or
any successor to such party, such party, or successor, shall, upon written notice from the other,
proceed immediately to commence such actions as may be reasonably designed to cure or remedy
such failure to perform or breach which cure or remedy shall be accomplished within a reasonable
time by the diligent pursuit of corrective action. In case such action is not taken, or diligently
pursued, or the failure to perform or breach shall not be cured or remedied within a reasonable
time, this Redevelopment Contract shall be in default and the aggrieved party may institute such
proceedings as may be necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under this 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 September 1,
2023, or shall abandon construction work related to the Project Costs, once commenced,
for any period of 180 days, excepting delays caused by inclement weather;
(b) the Redeveloper, shall fail to pay real estate taxes or assessments on the
Redevelopment Project Property owned by the Redeveloper or any part thereof when due;
and

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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 157 / 211
Prataria Ventures Hotel to MOB Amendment Page 12
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 as provided in Section 4.01.

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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 158 / 211
Prataria Ventures Hotel to MOB Amendment Page 13
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 or 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 pledged pursuant to the
Resolution. The Redeveloper releases the City and Authority from, agrees that neither the City nor
Authority shall be liable for, and agrees to indemnify and hold the City and Authority harmless
from any liability for any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of any person that
may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Project.
The Redeveloper will indemnify and hold each of the City and Authority and their
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 occurring
in, on or about that portion of the Project owned by the Redeveloper, during the term of this
Redevelopment Contract or arising out of any action or inaction of Redeveloper, related to

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 17
June 2016 Amended November 2022
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 (THE PROJECT SITE IS
CURRENTLY PLATTED AS EWOLDT SUBDIVISION WHICH PLAT WILL BE
VACATED AND A NEW PLAT RECORDED). THIS AMENDMENT APPLIES
SPECIFICALLY TO ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR LOT 3 OF PRAIRIE COMMONS
SECOND SUBDIVISION AND A PORTION OF LOT 1 OF PRAIRIE COMMONS
SECOND SUBDIVISION TO BE REPLATTED. THE ORIGINAL PROJECT WILL
CONSISTED 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 PROJECT
SHALL ALSO INCLUDE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND
MODIFICATIONS WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY OF HUSKER
HIGHWAY (U.S. HIGHWAY 34) AND U.S. HIGHWAY 281 TO FACILITATE THE
TRAFFIC THE PROJECT WILL GENERATE. THE INTIAL PHASE OF THIS
DEVELOPMENT WILL CONSISTED OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 4 STORY 64
BED HOSPITAL AND, A 66,000 SQUARE FOOT MEDICAL OFFICE
BUILDINGAND A PLANNED AND A 103 BED HOTEL WITH 7000 SQUARE FEET
OF CONFERENCE/MEETING SPACE. THIS PHASE IS PROPOSING TO REPLACE
THE HOTEL AT THIS LOCATION WITH ANOTHER THREE STORY 66,000
SQUARE FOOT MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.
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 was proposed in the original application and that work has been completed. The
use of Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan and necessary
to make this project economically feasible. 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
the first phase of this development location include a private hospital, medical office
building and hotel with conference space. This plan amendment replaces the hotel with a
second medical office building. Subsequent phases of the remainder of the site include
housing, office space and retail development. The developer has indicated that this
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 172 / 211
development would not be considered nor financially feasible 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”)
Legal Descriptions: All of Ewoldt Subdivision in Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska
and the adjacent rights-of-way for Husker Highway/U.S. Highway 34, U.S. Highway 281
and Rae Road. This amendment applies specifically to Lots 1 and 3 of Prairie Commons
Second Subdivision.

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 proposed development with
this amendment for a second medical office building anticipates a restructured bond
that would span the tax years 2023 to 2038.
The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid
to the normal taxing entities. The incremental value for the first phase will be
created by the construction of a 64 bed private hospital, medical office building and
hotel/conference center a second medical office building. This area is planned for
commercial development with the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan and will has
been need to be rezoned to either a B2 General Commercial or CD Commercial
Development zone to accommodate the planned development. An amendment to the
CD Zone to allow the second medical office building has been proposed.
. In addition, the current subdivision will be vacated and a new subdivision created
to create the buildable lots of record for the first phase of redevelopment.
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,
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 176 / 211
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 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. Conformance with 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. The Hall County Regional Planning
Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on December 7, 2022 and passed
Resolution 2023-06 confirming that this project is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan for the City of Grand Island.
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 - 1/18/2023 Page 181 / 211
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or other
Planning changes.
The property is currently platted as Ewoldt Subdivision Lot 3 and Part of Lot 1 of Prairie
Commons Second Subdivision. The existing Ewoldt Subdivision and all easements on
the property will be vacated. The property will be replatted with a new a new street and
lot configuration. Necessary easements will be dedicated with the new subdivision plat.
The area is zoned TA Transitional Agriculture. It is anticipated that tThe area for the first
phase of redevelopment willas be rezoned to accommodate the development to a B2
General Commercial or CD Commercial Development Zone a further amendment will be
necessary to allow the second medical office building. These zoning districts at this
location are consistent with the Grand Island Comprehensive Development Plan. The
westerly portions of the property may be rezonedwas 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 bewere platted to connect James Road on the north with the intersection of James
Road (Prairie Vview Road) and Rae Road on the south. All properties will behave been
graded to drain appropriately and streets werewill be designed based on final lot
elevations. Streets, utility infrastructure and grading were will be ccompleted for the
whole development during the first phase of this project. No changes are anticipated in
building codes or ordinances. However, the CRA intends to require enhancements to
building facades as part of a public space requirement of the redevelopment project. 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
bewere extended throughout the site. The developer wasill 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 beas 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. Public
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 182 / 211
façade easements will be acquired in all buildings constructed as part of the project. The
Redeveloper will be required to enhance the building exteriors and façades as provided in
the redevelopment contract as a part of the public space development in the project over
and above Commercial Development Zone building requirements. The façade
improvements are required to ensure long-term durability of the buildings to prevent the
recurrence of blighted conditions, with such façade improvements protected with a grant
of an easement to the City by the Redeveloper.
[§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

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

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. The MOB 2.0 anticipated with the amendment would
be constructed in 2023 and open in and fully taxable in 2024. Additional projects may be
brought forward for separate consideration on parcels located outside of this initial phase.
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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 186 / 211
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 The CRA will engage consultants to prepare a cost benefit
analysis. The results of the original analysis will beare included as an appendix to this
plan amendmente original plan. The original analysis supported TIF in an amount of
$28,708,000. The total TIF proposed has been reduced to $18,985,000.
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
(MOB 2.0 Only)
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $621,000.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $27,029,000 over the
course of the next two years. The project creates additional valuation that will support
taxing entities long after the project is paid off. The tax shift from this project will be
equal to the total of the bond principal of $4,885,000 if fully funded and any associated
interest on the bond to be assigned with contract approval.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
Existing water and waste water facilities will not be negatively impacted by this
development. The electric utility has sufficient capacity to support the development.
This is infill development with services connecting to existing line with capacity. Fire
and police protection are available and should not be negatively impacted by this
development though there will be some increased need for officers and fire fighters as the
City continues to grow whether from this project or others.
(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 medical facilities for residents of Grand Island and for
the surrounding area. New medical staff will be needs to support this development.
(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
New medical staff will be needed to support this development.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 187 / 211
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will not have a direct impact on the Grand Island School system
since it does not include a housing component. New employees will need housing and
that may impact the schools depending on where people choose to live.
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
Grand Island is a regional medical provider and this development will help solidify and
enhance that position. The MOB 2.0 will support the new hospital and provide additional
competition within the medical market place in Grand Island.
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 $28,708,000 the
projected amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current
tax rate. The total TIF for the project as proposed would be $18,985,000. A total of
$9,723,000 less than originally approved.

require the payment of an amount by the Owner sufficient to reimburse the Authority for any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable fees and expenses
incurred in connection therewith.
Section 3.10. Non-presentment of Note. If any Note is not presented for payment when the
principal thereof becomes due and payable as therein and herein provided, whether at the stated maturity

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 payment, and then only to the extent of the
amount so repaid to it by the Registrar, and the Authority shall not be liable for any interest thereon and
shall not be regarded as a trustee of such money.

REDEMPTION OF NOTE
Section 4.1. Redemption of Note. The Note is subject to redemption at the option of the Authority

the Authority shall determine, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount then being
redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption.
Section 4.2. Redemption Procedures. The Finance Director is hereby authorized, without further
action of the Council, to call all or any portion of the principal of the Note for payment and redemption prior

thereon to the date fixed for redemption. The Finance Director may effect partial redemptions of any Note
without notice to the Owner and without presentation and surrender of such Note, but total redemption of any
Note may only be effected with notice to the Owner and upon presentation and surrender of such Note to the
Registrar. Notice of a total redemption of any Note shall be sent by the Registrar by first-class mail not less

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.

The Revenue is hereby allocated and pledged in its entirety to the payment of the principal on the
Note and to the payment of the Project Costs (including the Project), until the principal on the Note has been
paid (or until money for that purpose has been irrevocably set aside), and the Revenue shall be applied solely
to the payment of the principal on the Note. Such allocation and pledge is and shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Owner and shall be irrevocable.
Section 6.3. Potential Insufficiency of Revenue. Neither the Authority nor the City makes any
representations, covenants, or warranties to the Owner that the Revenue will be sufficient to pay the principal
of or interest on the Note. Payment of the principal of and interest on the Note is limited solely and exclusively

request, the Agency shall notify the owner of the Note and such owner may deposit an amount sufficient to pay
such request with the Agency for such payment. As set forth in Section 3.2, if the Redeveloper is the owner of

the part of the Authority to that end has been duly and validly taken. The Note is and will be a valid obligation

registration books maintained by the Registrar on the 15th day of the month preceding the month in which
the applicable payment date occurs, at such Owner’s address as it appears on such note registration books.
The principal of this Note is payable in any coin or currency which on the respective dates of payment
thereof is legal tender for the payment of debts due the United States of America.
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 18-2155, inclusive, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, as
amended, and under and pursuant to Resolution No. ________ duly passed and adopted by the Authority on
______________, 2023, as from time to time amended and supplemented (the “Resolution”).
THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE IS SET FORTH IN SCHEDULE 1
ATTACHED HERETO. THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE IS $4,885,000.
This Note has been issued by the Authority for the purpose of financing the costs of constructing,
reconstructing, improving, extending, rehabilitating, installing, equipping, furnishing and completing certain
improvements within the area identified and referred to as the City of Grand Island Medical Office Building
#2, Project which is more specifically described in the Resolution, and to carry out the Authority’s corporate
purposes and powers in connection therewith.
Reference is hereby made to the Resolution for the provisions, among others, with respect to the
collection and disposition of certain tax and other revenues, the special funds charged with and pledged to the
payment of the principal of and interest on this Note, the nature and extent of the security thereby created, the
terms and conditions under which this Note has been issued, the rights and remedies of the Registered Owner
of this Note, and the rights, duties, immunities and obligations of the City and the Authority. By the
acceptance of this Note, the Registered Owner assents to all of the provisions of the Resolution.
This Note is a special limited obligation of the Authority payable as to principal solely from and is
secured solely by the Tax Revenue (as defined in the Resolution) pledged under the Resolution, all on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Resolution. The Tax Revenue represents that portion of ad valorem taxes
levied by public bodies of the State of Nebraska, including the City, on real property in the Project Area (as
defined in this Resolution) which is in excess of that portion of such ad valorem taxes produced by the levy
at the rate fixed each year by or for each such public body upon the valuation of the Project Area as of a certain
date and as has been certified by the County Assessor of Hall County, Nebraska to the City in accordance
with law.
The principal hereon shall not be payable from the general funds of the City nor the Authority nor
shall this Note constitute a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance upon any
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.
The Registrar may from time to time enter the respective amounts advanced pursuant to the terms of
the Resolution under the column headed “Principal Amount Advanced” on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Table”)
and may enter the aggregate principal amount of this Note then outstanding under the column headed
“Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount” on the Table. On each date upon which a portion of the
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 203 / 211
-16-
Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount is paid to the Registered Owner pursuant to the redemption
provisions of the Resolution, the Registered Owner may enter the principal amount paid on this Note under
the column headed “Principal Amount Redeemed” on the Table and may enter the then outstanding principal
amount of this Note under the column headed “Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount” on the Table.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the records maintained by the Registrar as to the principal amount issued and
principal amounts paid on this Note shall be the official records of the Cumulative Outstanding Principal
Amount of this Note for all purposes.
Reference is hereby made to the Resolution, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk,
and to all of the provisions of which each Owner of this Note by its acceptance hereof hereby assents, for
definitions of terms; the description of and the nature and extent of the security for this Note; the Tax Revenue
pledged to the payment of the principal on this Note; the nature and extent and manner of enforcement of the
pledge; the conditions upon which the Resolution may be amended or supplemented 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.
This note is being issued as a registered note without coupons. This note is subject to exchange as
provided in the Resolution.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required to have
happened, to exist and to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Note have happened,
do exist and have been performed in regular and due time, form and manner; that this Note does not exceed
any constitutional, statutory or charter limitation on indebtedness; and that provision has been made for the
payment of the principal of and interest on this Note as provided in this Resolution.

obligations of the Authority under this Resolution, including any Resolutions, resolutions or other proceedings
supplemental hereto, and the liens, pledges, charges, trusts, assignments, covenants and agreements of the
Authority herein or therein made or provided for, shall be fully discharged and satisfied as to the Note or any
portion thereof, and the Note or any portion thereof shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding hereunder
and thereunder,
(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 money
in any of the funds held under this Resolution, or
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 1/18/2023 Page 206 / 211
-19-
(b) if the Note or portion thereof is not canceled or surrendered for cancellation or
subject to cancellation or so purchased, when payment of the principal of the Note or any portion
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 as to
principal in such amount and at such times as will insure the availability of sufficient money to make
such payment.
Provided that, with respect to any total redemption of any Note, notice of redemption shall have been
duly given or provision satisfactory to the Registrar shall have been made therefor, or waiver of such notice,
satisfactory in form, shall have been filed with the Registrar.
At such time as any Note or portion thereof shall no longer be outstanding hereunder, and, except for
the purposes of any such payment from such money or such Escrow Obligations, such Note or portion thereof
shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this Resolution.
Any such money so deposited with the Registrar for any Note or portion thereof as provided in this
Section 10.1 may at the direction of the Finance Director also be invested and reinvested in Escrow
Obligations, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth. All income from all Escrow
Obligations in the hands of the Registrar which is not required for the payment of such Note or portion thereof
with respect to which such money shall have been so deposited, shall be paid to the Authority and deposited
in the Special Fund as and when realized and collected for use and application as is other money deposited in
that fund.
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 shall
have been deposited in accordance with the terms hereof with the Registrar in trust for the purpose of paying
the Notes or any portion thereof when the same becomes due, whether at maturity or upon earlier redemption,
all liability of the Authority for such payment shall forthwith cease, determine and be 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 which
remain unclaimed for five years after the date on which such payment shall have become due and payable,

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.

amending or supplementing hereof pursuant to this Section, the Authority may adopt such supplemental
Resolution.

immunities under this Resolution and the Owner of the Note shall thereafter be determined, exercised and
enforced under this Resolution subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and (c) all of
