TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director
DATE: May 7, 2020
RE: Approve Amendment No. 2 to TID Development Agreement with Merge, LLC for
Redevelopment of Parcels H, I And J within the Marion Road Redevelopment Area
BACKGROUND
Council approved creation of TIF District #36 — Merge Redevelopment Project on June 11, 2019
related to the proposed redevelopment of three parcels within the Marion Road / Jackson Street
area. The District was created with the purpose of providing incentives needed to facilitate the
development of a mixed -use project consisting of 240 residential units and approximately 39,000
square feet of commercial space along with parking and amenities.
ANALYSIS
The Development Agreement provides for pay -go financing to the Developer equal up to 25%
of Project Costs as an incentive to purchase the property and complete the redevelopment
project. Without this incentive the cash return on the investment in this property is too low to
attract investment capital and development is unlikely to occur or to occur in the manner
proposed. A copy of the proposed amendment to the Development Agreement is attached.
Overall, the fundamental provisions of the Development Agreement remain the same. The
primary change contained in this 2nd Amendment is related to the order and timing for
construction on the three parcels. It is now proposed that Parcel H (Brio/Oshkosh Food Coop)
now be the first project. The full re -ordering of the development is now proposed as follows:
Provision for the development of the property in three phases with Parcel H beginning
construction on or before September 30, 2020, three months later than originally planned,
Parcel J by December 31, 2022, one year later than originally planned, and Parcel I by
December 31, 2023, two years later. The completion of Parcel H would be before June 30,
2022, one year later than agreed, and Parcels J and I by June 30, 2025, two years later than
originally agreed.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1 130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1 130 920.236.5000 hffp://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us
L
Oshkosh
In exchange for this revised order of development, staff proposed an amendment which the
Developer has agreed to, as follows:
• A disincentive is created in the event that the Developer fails to complete all three phases
of the project as proposed. Specifically, the Developer may only receive up to 25% of
project costs in pay -go if the second and third parcels are also developed. If only one
parcel is developed, the pay -go is reduced to 15%, if only two parcels are developed, the
pay -go is reduced to 20%. The Developer agreed to this exchange, which is also reflected
in the language of the 2nd Amendment to the Development Agreement.
The other major provisions of the Development Agreement remain unchanged. Some minor
language changes are included in the document to match up with the revised project schedule
and disincentive, along with the pay -go payment timing.
Per Council's request, staff requested information from the Developer regarding its project
financing. We received information from the Developer's bank that Merge has the financing in
place to commence construction following the approval of the 2nd Amendment and within the
revised project timeline.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the Development Agreement for the Merge Redevelopment will have no fiscal
impact on the provision of city services relative to the ability to service the development nor
require the expansion of city services to service the development. The 10% of increment not
paid to the developer will be used to pay for the City's annual TIF administrative costs. As in
all pay -go cases, the financial incentive will only be paid if tax increment is created and after all
property taxes and other special charges and/or assessments have been paid.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the RDA adopt the proposed resolution and approve the Development
Agreement amendment.
Submitted,
Allen Davis

Agreement is hereby amended to provide that the property acquisition contingency date is

3. DEVELOPER'S OBLIGATIONS. Section III.A. of the Development Agreement is
hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
A. Project Construction. Developer intends to develop multiple buildings (each, a

With respect to the development of the Project under this Section III.A., Building One shall
be a five (5) story structure with retail space on the first floor, together with related
infrastructure and other site improvements. Developer agrees that it shall expend Project
Costs in an amount of not less than (1) $12,000.000.00 for Building One. Developer's
estimate of Project Costs for Building One are set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto.
Building Two and Three shall be more fully described in one or more supplements to this

Building Two and Three, so long as the Project, retains the same basic character as a mixed -
use development. Developer's obligations to commence and complete construction under
this Section III.A. are subject to (1) Developer's timely receipt of all approvals, licenses
and permits necessary or appropriate in connection with Developer's development of the
Project, and (2) Developer's receipt of Case Closure or post -closure modification, as
applicable, with respect to each parcel of Property in a reasonable period of time to
facilitate the commencement and completion of construction on such parcel under the
terms of this Section III.A. For purposes hereof, "commencement of construction" shall
mean the start of site improvements such as site grading or clearing and fencing and
"substantially complete" shall mean the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, including a
temporary certificate of occupancy.
The commencement and completion dates set forth (and the corresponding dates for the
issuance of the City MRO) above may be extended to the extent that, in addition to the
existing force majeure provisions set forth in Section X.E., below, a declared state of
3
22142427.4
emergency results in (1) Developer's inability to obtain labor, equipment, or supplies in the
open market, and/or (ii) construction of the then -current Building or Buildings being halted
by a governmental work stoppage order, such as a "stay at home" order applicable to the
construction industry.
4. CITY CONTRIBUTION AND OBLIGATIONS. Section IV.A. and IV.B. of the
Development Agreement are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
A. City Contribution. In each year beginning in the year following the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for Building One and ending in 2047 (or when the total amount of
the City Contribution has been paid to Developer, if earlier), in consideration of the
Developer undertaking its obligations under this Agreement, Available Tax Increment
shall be applied to make payments to the Developer of the City Contribution. The City
Contribution constitutes eligible Project Costs within the meaning of Section 66.1105(2)
of the Wisconsin Statutes. The first payment shall not be made until the first day of the
second November after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for Building One,
provided that there is Available Tax Increment. The City Contribution shall be paid only
out of Available Tax Increment, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the City
MRO. The City Contribution is a special and limited obligation of the City, and not a
general obligation of the City. The City MRO shall be issued as follows:
1. Building One MRO. The Building One MRO shall be issued upon the
issuance by the City of a certificate of occupancy for Building One, so long as
Building One is commenced and completed on or before the dates set forth in
Section III.A., above. The Building One MRO shall initially be issued in an amount
equal to twenty five percent (25%) ofProject Costs incurred in completing Building
One.
2. Building Two MRO. The Building Two MRO shall be issued upon the
issuance by the City of a certificate of occupancy for Building Two, so long as (i)
the Building One MRO has issued, and (ii) Building Two is commenced and
completed on or before the dates set forth in Section III.A., above. The Building
Two MRO shall initially be issued in an amount of up to twenty five percent (25%)
of Project Costs incurred in completing Building Two, with the actual percentage
of Project Costs to be determined based upon Developer's final plans for Building
Two and Developer's actual demonstrated need for a City Contribution to Building
Two Project Costs.
3. Building Three MRO. The Building Three MRO shall be issued upon the
issuance by the City of a certificate of occupancy for Building Three, so long as (1)
the Building One MRO and Building Two MROs have issued, and (ii) Building
Three is commenced and completed on or before the dates set forth in Section
TIT.A., above. The Building Three MRO shall initially be issued in an amount of
up to twenty five percent (25%) of Project Costs incurred in completing Building
Three, with the actual percentage of Project Costs to be determined based upon
Developer's final plans for Building Three and Developer's actual demonstrated
need for a City Contribution to Building Three Project Costs.
4
22142427.4
4. Failure to Commence or Complete Buildings Two and Three. In the event
that the Building Two MRO is not issued, the amount of the Building One MRO
shall be reduced to sixty percent (60%) of its original amount, and neither the
Building Two MRO nor the Building Three MRO shall be issued. In the event that
the Building Three MRO is not issued, the amounts of the Building One MRO and
Building Two MRO shall each be reduced to eighty percent (80%) of their
respective original amounts, and the Building Three MRO shall not be issued.
Developer acknowledges that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement: (i) all
payments of Available Tax Increment are subject to future annual appropriation of said
amounts by the City Common Council to payment hereunder; (ii) only the Available Tax
Increment generated by the Property (and al I improvements and personal property thereon)
shall be used to make payments to the Developer; and (iii) if, on November 1, 2047, the
amount of Available Tax Increment to be paid under this Agreement proved insufficient to
pay the entire City Contribution, the City shall have no obligation or liability therefor. With
respect to clause (1), above, the City covenants and agrees as follows: (a) the City Manager
or his designed representative shall include the payment of the entire Available Tax
Increment for each year included during the Payment Term in the applicable budget request
recommendation for the following year's budget; (b) if the City's annual budget does not
in any year provide for appropriation of Available Tax Increment sufficient to make the
payment due to Developer in that year, the City will use its diligent, good faith efforts to
notify Developer of that fact at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the budget is presented
to the City Common Council for final approval; and (c) Available Tax Increment shall not
be used to pay any other project costs of the District until the City has applied to the
payment due hereunder, in any year, the Available Tax Increment generated by the Property
that this Agreement provides will be applied to payment due hereunder. Developer further
acknowledges that, as a result of the special and limited nature of the City's obligation to
pay the City Contribution, the Developer's receipt of the City Contribution also depends
on factors including future mill rates, changes in the assessed value of the Property, failure
of the Project to generate Tax Increment at the rate expected by the Developer, changes in
the Tax Increment Law, and other failures beyond the City's or Developer's control.
The payment of the City Contribution shall be subject to the following conditions
and limitations:
1. On each Payment Date during the Payment Term and subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, the City shall pay a portion of the City Contribution equal to
the amount of Available Tax Increment appropriated by the City Common Council for the
payment due that Payment Term year.
2. The City shall take no action to terminate or dissolve the District prior to
November 1, 2047, unless the City first pays the outstanding balance due under the City
Contribution, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the
annual appropriation of the City Common Council of such outstanding balance due.
Attached hereto as Exhibit E is the City's projection of revenues and expenditures
for the District over its term, assuming only the construction of Building One, with the City
22142427.4
Contribution labeled as "Municipal Revenue Obligation" thereon. Exhibit E is provided
for illustrative purposes only, and Developer acknowledges that the amounts set forth
thereon are estimates only, and are subject to reduction as provided in Sections IV.A.4.,
above and IV.B., below. Upon execution by the City and Developer of one or more
supplements to this Agreement setting forth the detailed plans for Buildings Two and Three
as set forth in Section III.A., above, Exhibit E shall be updated to show revenues and
expenditures for the District with the additions of Building Two and/or Building Three.
B. City Contribution Adjustment. The City Contribution amount is based upon
Developer's demonstrated financial need, as shown on the proforma ten (10) year Internal
Rate of Return ("IRR") submitted by the Developer to the City, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit F. Developer and the City agree that to the extent that the Project's
performance materially deviates from the proforma IRR, the City Contribution may be
adjusted pursuant to this Section IV.B.
On or before the thirtieth (30`h) day following the tenth (1 Oth) anniversary of the
issuance of the last City MRO issued by the City hereunder (the "Test Date"), Developer
shall provide the City with copies of internally prepared financial statements and a
complete annual cash flow update based on actual income and expenses (in a format
consistent with the example in Exhibit F) for the Project for the period from the issuance
date of the last City MRO to the Test Date. Within ten (10) business days thereafter,
Developer and the City shall, using information from the financial statements and cash
flow update, and the methodology utilized to calculate the original Building One proforma
IRR (as set forth on Exhibit F), and applying the Approved Assumptions (as defined below)

received, but rather, included as additional consideration received on the Test Date

hereunder, on the dates hereinafter provided, subject to the terms and conditions of this Municipal
Revenue Obligation ("MRO").
This MRO is the "Building One MRO" issued pursuant to the terms of a Tax Incremental
District No. 36 Development Agreement dated as of , 2019 among the City, the

The Principal Amount shall initially be as set forth above, which Principal Amount

the completion of, and issuance of a certificate of occupancy for, Building One of the Project.
The Principal Amount is subject to reduction as follows: in the event that the Building Two

This MRO shall be payable in installments on [November 1, 20231 and each November I
thereafter (the "Payment Dates") during the Payment Term in an amount equal to the Available
Tax Increment for the prior year provided that such payments are due under the Development
Agreement. Payments on this MRO shall be made only to the extent that the City has received
Available Tax Increment. This MRO shall not bear interest.
22142427.4
This MRO has been issued to finance projects within the City's Tax Incremental District
No. 36 ("District") and is payable only from the income and revenues herein described, which
income and revenues have been set aside as a special fund for that purpose and identified as the
"Special Redemption Fund" provided for under the Resolution adopted on , 2019 by
the Common Council of the City (the "Resolution"). This MRO is issued pursuant to the
Resolution and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement.
This MRO does not constitute an indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory limitation or provision. This MRO shall be payable solely from
Available Tax Increment generated by the Project located within the District and appropriated by
the Common Council to the payment of this MRO (the "Revenues"). Reference is hereby made
to the Resolution and the Development Agreement for a more complete statement of the revenues
from which and conditions and limitations under which this MRO is payable and the general
covenants and provisions pursuant to which this MRO has been issued. The Resolution and
Development Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.
The City shall have no obligation to pay any amount of this MRO which remains unpaid
after the final Payment Date of [November 1, 2047].
The City makes no representation or covenant, express or implied, that the Available Tax
Increment or other Revenues will be sufficient to pay, in whole or in part, the amounts which are
or may become due and payable hereunder.
The City's payment obligations hereunder are subject to appropriation, by the Common
Council, of Available Tax Increment to make payments due on this MRO. When the amount of
Revenues have been appropriated and applied to payment of this MRO, the MRO shall be deemed
to be paid in full and discharged, and the City shall have no further obligation with respect hereto.
Further, as provided in Article IX of the Development Agreement, the City shall have no obligation
to make payments on this MRO in the event of certain defaults under the Development Agreement.
This MRO is a special, limited revenue obligation and not a general obligation of the City
and is payable by the City only from the sources and subject to the qualifications stated,
incorporated or referenced herein. This MRO is not a general obligation of the City, and neither
the full faith and credit nor the taxing powers of the City are pledged to the payment of the principal
of this MRO. Further, no property or other asset of the City, except the above -referenced
Revenues, is or shall be a source of payment of the City's obligations hereunder.
Subject to the foregoing, the City may, at its option, prepay this MRO at any time.
This MRO is issued by the City pursuant to, and in full conformity with, the Constitution
and laws of the State of Wisconsin.
This MRO may be transferred or assigned, only as set forth in the Development Agreement.
Interests in this MRO may not be split, divided or apportioned. In order to transfer or assign the
MRO, the transferee or assignee shall surrender the same to the City either in exchange for a new,
fully -registered municipal revenue obligation or for transfer of this MRO on the registration
16
22142427.4
records for the MRO maintained by the City. Each permitted transferee or assignee shall take this
MRO subject to the foregoing conditions and subject to all provisions stated or referenced herein.
It is hereby certified and recited that all conditions, things and acts required by law to exist
or to be done prior to and in connection with the issuance of this MRO have been done, have
existed and have been performed in due form and time.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City Council of the City of Oshkosh has caused this MRO
to be signed on behalf of the City by its duly qualified and acting City Manager and City Clerk,
and its corporate seal to be impressed hereon, all as of the date of original issue specified above.
