City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Kelly Nieforth, Economic Development Services Division Manager DATE: November 4, 2021 RE: Approve Development Agreement with Northpointe Development Corporation for Redevelopment of Smith School BACKGROUND The Oshkosh Common Council approved the creation of TID No. 41 on October 12, 2021 for the redevelopment of the former Oshkosh Area School District Smith Elementary School located at 1745 Oregon Street. The building was constructed in 1896, with additions in 1929 and 1996. Smith School was closed and the building was sold in 2019. Smith School is on both the State and National Register of Historic Places. Northpointe Development Corporation is proposing to rehabilitate the building and construct thirty one (31) one, two, and three bedroom apartments units and forty four (44) garage spaces with additional off- street parking. The project will be financed with a combination of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), Historic Tax Credits, private investment, and a “pay as you go” development incentive provided by the district. ANALYSIS The terms of the agreement are as follows:  Shall not exceed $1,576,000 in “pay as you go” development incentive  Developers will receive 90% of the created increment  City will retain 10% of the newly created increment for administrative costs FISCAL IMPACT The City’s TIF obligation is estimated to be twenty five (25) years long and the principal TIF payment shall not exceed $1,576,000. The City’s exposure is limited because the TIF obligation is a Paygo which is dependent on the developer’s ability to pay their annual taxes and create additional increment. The City projects a new land and improvements value of $2,050,000. RECOMMENDATIONS The City Council approves the development agreement with Northpointe Development Corporation for the redevelopment of Smith School and authorizes staff to execute said development agreement.

The City agrees to work in good faith, promptly, and diligently in connection with the issuance or grant of all such approvals, consents, permits, certificates, and any other documents as may be necessary or desirable in connection with the development, utilization, and operation of the Property and to act reasonably and expeditiously and in cooperation with the Developer in connection therewith; it being understood and agreed that this provision is not intended to limit the rights of the City as more particularly set forth above or in Article VII, below. Development Requirements. The Developer shall use the Property for the Project and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and all other applicable federal, state, county, and City laws and regulations. Tax Exemption Forbearance. Developer acknowledges that the City is relying upon the Developer's real property taxes to generate the Available Tax Increment to fund the City Contribution.
