To:           Honorable Mayor & City Commission
From:         Planning & Economic Development Department
RE:           “Development and Reimbursement Agreement” between
              the City of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
              (BRA) and Parkland Muskegon LLC (Jon Rooks)


SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Jon Rooks has modified his plans for the High Point
Flats project to include market-rate apartment units, which are more marketable in
the current economy. Both Mr. Rooks and the City staff have been coordinating with
the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) to assist in additional
funding for the project to enable construction to begin this year. The MEDC has
agreed to provide loan funding to the project. There is a requirement that the local
municipality also participate in the project. The local participation is proposed to be
granting future BRA Tax Increment Finance (TIF) capture for the High Point Flats
property to Mr. Rooks (see attached “Agreement”). With approvals from the City and
the MEDC, the project is expected to begin within 30-90 days.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Future BRA TIF capture will be directed to Mr. Rooks for
reimbursement of loans he is securing for redevelopment of the property.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To endorse the approval by the BRA for the
“Development and Reimbursement Agreement” between the City of Muskegon BRA
and Parkland Muskegon, LLC.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The BRA will be meeting on August 27, 2012
to review the “Agreement”.

               DEVELOPMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

       THIS DEVELOPMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (the

“Agreement”) is made on ______________, 2012, by and between the CITY OF

MUSKEGON BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, a Michigan public body

corporate, whose address is 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan 49440 (the

“Authority”), and PARKLAND MUSKEGON, LLC, whose address is 940 Monroe

Avenue NW, Suite 155, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503 (the “Developer”).

                                         RECITALS

       A.     Pursuant to P.A. 381 of 1996, as amended, (“Act 381”), the Authority

adopted a brownfield plan in __________ (the “Brownfield Plan”) to add property

located at 241, 255 and 285 W. Western Avenue, Muskegon, Michigan (the “Property”).

       B.     The Developer owns the Property, which is included in the Brownfield Plan

as an “eligible property” because it is a “facility”, as defined by Part 201 of the Natural

Resources and Environmental Protection Act (“Part 201”). The Developer is not a liable

party, under Part 201, for the contamination on the Property.

       C.     The Developer intends to conduct eligible activities on the Property in

order to address environmental conditions and redevelop the site (the “Project”). The

Project will likely include baseline environmental assessment activities, due care

response activities, demolition, site preparation and public infrastructure eligible

activities under Act 381 (the “Eligible Activities”), all as described in the Brownfield

Plan and eligible for reimbursement under Act 381. The total cost of the Eligible

Activities, including contingencies and interest (as described in paragraph 1), are not to

exceed $750,000 (the “Total Eligible Brownfield TIF Costs”).
       D.     Act 381 permits the Authority to capture and use the school tax (where

applicable) and local property tax revenues generated from the incremental increase in

property value of a redeveloped brownfield site constituting an “eligible property” under

Act 381 to pay or to reimburse the payment of Eligible Activities conducted on the

“eligible property” (the “Brownfield TIF Revenue”).

       E.     In accordance with Act 381, the parties desire to establish the procedure

for using the available Brownfield TIF Revenue generated from the Property to

reimburse the Developer for completion of Eligible Activities on the Property in an

amount not to exceed the Total Eligible Brownfield TIF Costs.

       NOW, THERFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.     Reimbursement Source.

       During the Term (defined below) of this Agreement, and except as set forth in

paragraph 2 below, the Authority shall reimburse the Developer for its Eligible Activities

costs conducted on the Property from the Brownfield TIF Revenue collected from the

real and personal property taxes on the Property. The amount reimbursed to Developer

for the Eligible Activities shall not exceed the Total Eligible Brownfield TIF Costs, which

consists of $400,000 of principal Eligible Activities plus simple interest calculated at a

rate of five (5) percent on Developer’s unpaid Eligible Activities from the date they have

been approved for reimbursement by the Authority. The Authority shall capture

Brownfield TIF Revenue from the Property and reimburse Developer for Eligible

Activities (with interest) until the earlier of the Developer being fully reimbursed or

December 31, 2029. The Authority may choose at anytime to pay the entire balance of

Developer’s unpaid principal cost (plus any accrued interest) of the approved Eligible



                                              2
Activities and avoid paying additional interest. Unless otherwise prepaid by the

Authority, payments to the Developer shall be made on a semi-annual basis as

incremental local and school taxes are captured and available.

2.     Reimbursement Process.

       (a)    Developer shall submit to the Authority, not more frequently than on a

quarterly basis, a “Request for Cost Reimbursement” of Eligible Activities paid for by the

Developer during the prior period. All costs for the Eligible Activities must be consistent

with the approved Brownfield Plan. The Developer must include documentation

sufficient for the Authority to determine whether the costs incurred were for Eligible

Activities, including detailed invoices and proof of payment. Copies of all invoices for

Eligible Activities must note what Eligible Activities they support.

       (b)    Unless it disputes whether such costs are Eligible Activities within thirty

(30) days after receiving a Request for Cost Reimbursement from Developer, the

Authority shall pay to the Developer the amounts for which submissions have been

made pursuant to paragraph 2(a) of this Agreement from which the submission may be

wholly or partially paid from available Brownfield TIF Revenue from the Property as

described in paragraph 1. The Developer shall cooperate with the Authority’s review by

providing information and documentation to supplement the Request for Cost

Reimbursement which may be reasonably requested by the Authority. If a partial

payment is made by the Authority because of insufficient Brownfield TIF Revenue, the

Authority shall make additional payments toward the remaining amount within thirty (30)

days of its receipt of additional Brownfield TIF Revenue from the Property until all of the

amounts for which submissions have been made, have been fully paid to Developer or



                                              3
the end of the Term (defined below), whichever occurs first. The Authority is not

required to reimburse the Developer from any other source. If the Authority determines

that requested costs are deemed ineligible for reimbursement, the Authority shall notify

the Developer in writing of its reasons for rejection within the thirty (30) day time period

for review. The Developer shall then have thirty (30) days to provide supplemental

information or documents to the Authority demonstrating that the costs are eligible for

reimbursement.

       (c)    The Authority shall send all payments to the Developer by registered or

certified mail addressed to the Developer at the address shown above, or by electronic

funds transfer directly to Developer’s bank account. Developer may change the

address by providing written notice sent by registered or certified mail to the Authority.

3.     Term of Agreement.

       The Authority’s reimbursement of the Total Eligible Brownfield TIF Costs under

this Agreement shall terminate the earlier of the date when all reimbursements to

Developer required under this Agreement have been made or December 31, 2029 (the

“Term”). If the Brownfield TIF Revenue ends before the full reimbursement of all of

Developer’s Total Eligible Brownfield TIF Costs, the last reimbursement payment by the

Authority shall be the summer and winter tax increment collected during the final year of

this Agreement.

4.     Adjustments

       If, due to an appeal of any tax assessment or reassessment of any portion of the

Property or for any other reason the Authority is required to reimburse any Brownfield

TIF Revenue to any tax levying unit of government, the Authority may deduct the



                                              4
amount of any such reimbursement, including interest and penalties, from any amounts

due and owing the Developer. If all amounts due the Developer under this Agreement

have been fully paid or the Authority is no longer obligated to make any further

payments to the Developer, the Authority shall invoice the Developer for the amount of

such reimbursement and the Developer shall pay the Authority such invoiced amount

within thirty (30) days of the Developer’s receipt of the invoice. Amounts invoiced and

paid to the Authority by the Developer pursuant to this paragraph shall be reinstated as

Eligible Activities for which the Developer shall have the opportunity to be reimbursed in

accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement. Nothing in this

Agreement shall limit the right of the Developer to appeal any tax assessment.

5.     Legislative Authorization.

       This Agreement is governed by and subject to the restrictions set forth in Act

381. If there is legislation enacted in the future that alters or affects the amount of

Brownfield TIF Revenue subject to capture, eligible property, or eligible activities, then

the Developer’s rights and the Authority’s obligations under this Agreement shall be

modified accordingly as required by law, or by agreement of the parties.

6.     Notices.

       All notices shall be given by registered or certified mail addressed to the parties

at their respective addresses as shown above. Any party may change the address by

written notice sent by registered or certified mail to the other party.

7.     Assignment.

       This Agreement and the rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be

assigned or otherwise transferred by any party without the consent of the other party,



                                              5
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, the Developer may

assign its interest in this Agreement to an affiliate without the prior written consent of the

Authority, provided, any such assignee shall acknowledge to the Authority in writing on

or prior to the effective date of such assignment its obligations upon assignment under

this Agreement, provided, further, that the Developer may make a collateral assignment

of the Brownfield TIF Revenue for project financing purposes. As used in this

paragraph, “affiliate” means any corporation, company, partnership, limited liability

company, trust, sole proprietorship or other entity or individual which (a) is owned or

controlled by such Developer, (b) owns or controls such Developer or (c) is under

common ownership or control with such Developer. This Agreement shall be binding

upon any successors or permitted assigns of the parties.

8.     Entire Agreement.

       This Agreement supersedes all agreements previously made between the parties

relating to the subject matter. There are no other understandings or agreements

between them.

9.     Non-Waiver.

       No delay or failure by any party to exercise any right under this Agreement, and

no partial or single exercise of that right, constitutes a waiver of that or any other right,

unless otherwise expressly provided herein.

10.    Headings.

       Headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used to

interpret or construe its provisions.

11.    Governing Law.



                                               6
       This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with an governed by the laws

of the State of Michigan.

12.    Counterparts.

       This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which

shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same

instrument.

13.    Binding Effect.

       The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of

all the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.



       The parties have executed this Agreement on the date set forth above.
