EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 137, 2021, Declaring Certain City-Owned Property at 3620 Kechter Road as Road Right-of-Way. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 138, 2021, Authorizing the Conveyance of City-Owned Property at 3620 Kechter Road to Kechter TWG, LLLP. The purpose of these two ordinances is to dedicate as right -of-way a two-foot strip of land on a parcel of City property at 3620 Kechter Road that is already being used for a public sidewalk, and to authorize conveyan ce of the 5-acre parcel to Kechter TWG, LLLP (TWG). The City purchased this property in 2002 as part of the Affordable Housing Land Bank program. Since its purchase, the City has leased this 5 -acre property for residential/horse uses. This sale will result in the development of 54 permanently affordable for-sale townhomes. This project furthers Council’s long stated priorities for affordable and achievable housing. The Council Finance Committee heard this item at their March 2021 meeting and indicated suppo rt for the sale of this property for $25,000. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of both Ordinances on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Land Bank Program The Land Bank Program is the City’s only long-term affordable housing development incentive. Most incentives are tied to specific projects, but this program aims to set aside land for future affordable housing developments. The program was created in 2001 to enable the City to acquire, hold and sell real property to assist housing providers in providing permanently affordable rental and homeownership housing. Acquiring and holding property through the Land Bank locks in land values at current prices with an expectation of appreciation over time. When a Land Bank property is ready for development, the appreciation of the property’s value from the time of purchase allows the City to sell the land for less than fair market value. This “discounted” sale price functions as a subsidy for affordable housing developments that would otherwise p ay market prices for land. The Land Bank also preserves locations for the future to ensure that affordable housing will be well distributed throughout the City. City Code requires the proceeds of the sale of land bank parcels to be used to buy more land for future affordable housing development. There is no minimum sales price required, however, City Code does set a maximum sales price of 90% of fair market value for Land Bank parcels. Agenda Item 11 Item # 11 Page 2 The Land Bank Program has purchased a total of six properties since its creation in 2001. One land bank parcel has been sold to date. In 2016, the Horsetooth parcel was sold to Housing Catalyst and has since been developed into 96 affordable rental apartments. The Land Bank currently holds five parcels, including 3620 Kechter. (Attachments 1 and 2) In 2017, following the successful deployment of the Horsetooth parcel, Council established a priority to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a home ownership development project on another Land Bank parcel. Staff determined the Kechter parcel to be appropriate for home ownership and had it appraised, conducted a historic review and compiled file documents that would be relevant to the sale process. Staff proceeded to issue an RFP in 2018 for the sale of the Kechter parcel. Only one response was received, so a second RFP was issued in 2019. Three responses were received. TWG, a for-profit developer out of Indiana, was selected. The City entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement for the Kechter Townhomes project in 2019. The project is mostly through the development review process and a Hearing Officer approved the project in March 2021. To support the successful deployment of the Kechter parcel, a development partnership was created consisting of: • Housing Catalyst (HC) - Provides local technical assistance and tax abatement • Elevations Community Land Trust (ECLT) - A community land trust partner and eventual owner of the developed property • TWG - The developer and builder of the townhome community • The City of Fort Collins - The seller of the land Financial feasibility of Kechter Townhomes The partners worked together to determine project feasibility. It was quickly determined that a substantial subsidy would be required to build and offer townhomes at affordable sales prices - in the range of $257,000 to $285,000 depending on size. Beyond the subsidy pledged by ECLT and tax abatement provided by HC, the parties determined that additional subsidy would be required to meet the goal of affordable ownership in perpetuity. The City would need to donate most of the value of the land ($1,175,000) and the Colorado Division of Housing approved additional subsidy for the project. Therefore, staff is recommending a sale price of $25,000 for this land. Both the Division of Housing and ECLT are providing more than their typical subsidy because this project will deliver permanently affordable home ownership units. Habitat for Humanity has been the primary developer of affordable home ownership product in Fort Collins and the City has provided between $40,000 and $74,500 in cash subsidy per unit for those homes. For Kechter Townhomes, the City’s contribution is only the value of the Agenda Item 11 Item # 11 Page 3 land and equates to $21,759 per unit. These townhomes will also be affordable in perpetuity through the la nd trust coupled with covenants and deed restrictions, whereas a typical deed restricted unit is restricted for 20 years. Kechter Townhomes will be the City’s first permanently affordable home ownership project. Summary of Subsidy Investor Per Unit Typical Subsidy Amount Total subsidy Elevations Community Land Trust (cash) $48,500 $30,000 $2,619,000 Division of Housing (cash) $27,500 $15,000 $1,485,000 City of Fort Collins (in kind - land value) $21,759 $38,970 - all units ($50,000 - for-sale units only) $1,175,000 $97,759 Total subsidy per unit $5.28 million Total subsidy Upon construction of the development, TWG will sell the property, including the finished homes, to ECLT which will retain the land, sell the homes to qualified buyers with a 99-year land lease, provide subsidy and steward this affordable housing community in perpetuity. The City will be selling the land, but because this community will be permanently affordable with the land held by ECLT, the land remains a community asset even after the sale. Permanent Affordability The City Code requires that any sale of a land bank parcel to a housing provider be made subject to a deed restriction, covenant, or other instrument that will run with the title to the property and : 1) obligate the housing provider to begin developing all housing within 24 months of acquiring the land, and to obtain building permits within 48 months; and 2) limit the use of the property to affordable housing. The partners, staff and the City Attorney’s Office ha ve prepared important legal documents related to the title to this parcel including a completed Purchase and Sale Agreement (Agreement), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B to the Ordinance, and a draft Covenant and Promissory Note and Deed of Trust. (The Agreement was made contingent on Council adoption. If Council decides not to authorize the sale of the property, the Agreement would be terminated.) Specific terms of the Agreement pertinent to this project, including those that refer to the Covenant and Deed of Trust that will let the City enforce long-term affordability requirements, are as follows: 1. The purchase price of the property is $25,000. 2. The use of the property will be limited by a Covenant requiring the following: a. Use of the property shall be restricted to for-sale housing for households at or below 80% AMI for Fort Collins who qualify financially as eligible buyers. The City must be notified each time an individual unit is sold. b. TWG will be required to commence development within 24 months of closing and shall obtain building permits for the construction of all such housing units within 48 months of closing. c. If building permits are not obtained within the required time frame, or if the property or a unit is not used for affordable housing, the City may enforce the covenant through an injunction or an action for specific performance. Agenda Item 11 Item # 11 Page 4 d. The Covenant will be in a superior position on the title to the property so that it cannot be eliminated by a foreclosure. The Covenant can only be enforced through an injunction or legal action for specific performance, not by a seizure or foreclosure of the property. 3. The use of the property will also be limited by a Promissory Note and Deed of Trust securing the financial value of the City’s contribution to the project through the below-market conveyance of the property and requiring compliance with the affordability and notice provisions of the Covenant. The Deed of Trust would be for a term of fifty years and subordinate to the primary loan on t he property. If the property owner ever fails to comply with the terms of the Deed of Trust , the City could foreclose on the property. To do so, it would have to assume or pay off the primary loan on the property. 4. Development Process a. TWG shall prepare all plans and submittals necessary to present a complete Project Development Plan (“PDP”). TWG is responsible for all development applications and for paying all related fees required by the development review process. The City shall cooperate with TWG in its pursuit of any approvals and permits, including the granting of easement and encroachment permits necessary for the development. b. TWG is solely responsible for all expenses incurred in preparing for the development of the Property and the City shall have no obligation to reimburse, share in, or assist TWG in covering any costs incurred by TWG under the Agreement. 5. The City’s sale of the property to TWG is contingent upon: a. TWG obtaining all required regulatory approvals for the Development. b. TWG providing proof reasonably satisfactory to the City that TWG can obtain the necessary financing to construct the development according to the approved Project Development Plan, including a signed purchase and sale agreement between itself and Elevation Community Land Trust, and a complete financing plan showing funds committed to meet all project development needs. c. Final agreement by the City and TWG on the Covenant, Promissory Note and Deed of Trust; and d. Council authorization of the sale of the property to TWG by ordinance by December 31, 2021. If Council does not adopt an ordinance authorizing sale of the property by December 31, 2021, the Agreement will automatically terminate. Right of Way There is an existing sidewalk on the south edge of the Kecht er Road land bank property that is not entirely within the current right-of-way for Kechter Road. Because the City is the seller of this land but not the developer, an issue has arisen about the best way to ensure the City creates and retains the addition al needed right-of-way in this transaction. Staff recommends that, by separate Ordinance, before sale of this parcel, the City declare as right-of-way a 2-foot strip of land along Kechter Road that will then be shown on the plat of the development. The City would then convey the property to TWG subject to the expanded right of way. This removes the need to show any additional dedications of rights -of-way on the final plat for this project and ensures that the right-of-way is created even if the City does not convey the property. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS The City will receive $25,000 for the sale of this parcel and will no longer show ownership of the property in our financial records. Agenda Item 11 Item # 11 Page 5 BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Affordable Housing Board recommends the sale of this parcel. Council Finance Committee recommends the sale of this parcel for $25,000.

A.Marketplace Facilitators & Economic Nexus Update Jennifer Poznanovic, Sr. Project & Revenue Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to provide an update on impacts from the U.S. Supreme Court’s South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. decision (June 2018) since the City’s adoption of Marketplace Facilitators and Economic Nexus Ordinances, which was effective November 1, 2020. GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED This item provides an opportunity to provide an update and discuss impacts of the Marketplace Facilitators and Economic Nexus Ordinance with Council Finance Committee. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION U.S. Supreme Court Decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. ATTACHMENT 3 5 B. Land Bank Sale Victoria Shaw, Sr. Financial Analyst Sue Beck-Ferkiss, Lead Specialist Social Sustainability SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION Land Bank parcel sale for affordable home ownership housing EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to the 2017 City Council priority to deploy a land bank parcel for affordable homeownership, staff has partnered with a development team to create an opportunity to develop 54 townhomes on the Kechter land bank parcel. Although affordable housing, especially affordable for-sale housing, requires substantial subsidy, for this development the City subsidy will only consist of the in-kind donation of land value. The parcel was purchased in 2002 for $556,000, appraised in 2018 at $1,200,000 and the proposed sale price is $25,000. The contribution of the $1,175,000 in land value translates to a subsidy level of $21,759 per unit. The City’s only contribution is the value of the land and will not require additional cash investment. Partners are bringing an additional $4.1M or $76,000 per unit of cash subsidy. GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED Does the Council Finance Committee support the sale of the Kechter land bank parcel for $25,000 for the purpose of developing 54 permanently affordable for-sale townhomes? BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The Land Bank Program is the City’s only long-term affordable housing incentive. This program was created in City Code in 2001 with the purpose to enable the City to acquire, hold, and sell real property to assist housing providers in providing permanently affordable rental and homeownership housing. One land bank parcel has been sold to date. In 2016, the Horsetooth parcel was sold to Housing Catalyst and has since been developed into 96 affordable rental apartments.

Staff proceeded to issue an RFP for the sale of the Kechter parcel. Only one response was received, so a second RFP was issued, and 3 responses were received. TWG, a for-profit developer out of Indiana was selected and the City entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement for the Kechter Townhomes project. A development partnership was created consisting of: • Housing Catalyst (HC) to provide local technical assistance and tax abatement • Elevations Community Land Trust (ECLT) as a community land trust partner • TWG as the developer and builder of the townhome community • The City of Fort Collins as the seller of the land The partners worked together to determine project feasibility, and it was quickly determined that substantial subsidy would be required to offer homes at affordable sales prices. Beyond the subsidy pledged by ECLT and tax abatement provided by HC, the parties determined that additional subsidy would be required to meet the goal of affordable ownership in perpetuity. The City would need to donate most of the value of the land and the Colorado Division of Housing approved additional subsidy for the project. 6 Both the Division of Housing and ECLT are providing more than their typical subsidy because this project will deliver permanently affordable home ownership units. Habitat for Humanity has been the primary developer of affordable home ownership product in Fort Collins and the City has provided between $40,000 and $74,500 in cash subsidy per unit for those homes. For Kechter Townhomes, the City’s contribution is only the value of the land and equates to $21,759 per unit. These townhomes will also be affordable in perpetuity through the land trust coupled with deed restrictions whereas a typical deed restricted unit is restricted for at least 20 years. Kechter Townhomes will be the City’s first permanently affordable home ownership project. Summary of Subsidy: Investor Per Unit Typical Subsidy Amount Total subsidy Elevations Community Land Trust (cash) $48,500 $30,000 $2,619,000 Division of Housing (cash) $27,500 $15,000 $1,485,000 City of Fort Collins (in kind) $21,759 $38,970 ($50K for ownership) $1,175,000 Total $97,759 direct subsidy per unit $5.28M direct subsidy Upon construction of the development, TWG will sell the units to ECLT who will keep ownership of the land and sell the homes to qualified low-income buyers. ECLT will certify buyers, confirm sale prices and be the long-term steward of the community. On March 4, 2021, the project was approved by a Hearing Officer. Legal documents are being circulated to assure permanent affordability. Staff intends to bring a Purchase and Sale Agreement, incorporating the requirement for permanent affordability, conditioned on the project successfully completing the City’s development review process for Council consideration in May. The City will be selling the land, but because this community will be permanently affordable with the land held by ECLT, the land remains a community asset even after the sale. Next Step: Council consideration of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. DISSCUSSION / NEXT STEPS Ken Summers; overall a good project -thinking of the long-term benefit for someone who is trying to make progress in terms of their financial situation - they buy into an affordable unit and then for them to get out of an affordable unit - is there some kind of an equity building opportunity? Victoria Shaw; home ownership can be a substantial path to wealth building for families - future buyers would also have to be certified and qualified for affordable housing to purchase the unit - the first owners would take some of the equity with them which would include any equity they built by paying down their mortgage as well 7 as Elevation has a specific formula that allows them to take some appreciation of the unit with them - would not be as much as a market rate unit since we are maintaining that affordability for subsequent generations. Sue Beck-Ferkiss; since we have Elevation working with the homeowners – they will be getting financial coaching - they will be encouraged to move on and give the opportunity to another qualified family. Ross Cunniff; conceptually I like this but am concerned about the lack of reimbursement to the land bank. We are losing approximately 10% of the value of the land bank based on some of the appraisals (some are older). I do like the evergreen affordability term - that tradeoff makes the trade-off worth it to accept a reduction in our land bank overall portfolio. I would like a future Council to contemplate ways to replenish the land bank. Darin Atteberry; as you know, the Affordable Housing Plan does talk about the importance of the land bank program. that is the exact concern I have - I agree that the evergreen affordability is key here. With our Affordable Housing Plan and the BFO process, this will be front and center with our next Council. Mayor Troxell; I am supportive - these are complex transactions, and you have a great list of partners on this. Share Ken’s general concern of we do not want people into lower income framework – I appreciated the intent and the answer described there – also, the replenishment – with the appreciation of properties I view this as more of an exception than the rule. I am supportive of this going forward. GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED Does the Council Finance Committee support the sale of the Kechter land bank parcel for $25,000 for the purpose of developing 54 permanently affordable for-sale townhomes? RESULT: Committee is supportive of this going forward to the full Council. Other Business: PRPA Refund check: Ken Summers; can you tell us more about the PRPA check (refund) to the city? Where do these funds go? Darin Atteberry; sure, we received a $468K refund check from PRPA and have been talking about where the funds would be best leveraged. We are planning to ask Council tomorrow evening to appropriate those funds toward the utilities non-payment gap as we think that is where it will go the furthest. Snowstorm: Darin Atteberry; today at LPT we talked quite a bit about the snowstorm. I don’t have any hard financial data to share, but this is not a typical snowstorm. This snow is very wet and very heavy and in some parts of town we received over 24 inches which is inhibiting our efforts to clear the streets. Larry Schneider and teams have been working this for the last 48 hours - major and minor arterials are in great shape - on some we have no snow. We did a lot of work on collectors last night but still issues with turn lanes. Residential areas are a challenge as the weight and density of the snow is causing issues for some of our heavy-duty plows so we have gone to front loaders and dump trucks to export the snow. When we do one pass through a residential area it can cause up to 4-foot drifts and if you have ever dug out of a snow drift from a plow, it can be like moving concrete. Additionally, we are having significant brand and limb issues and are trying to clear the roadways for safety reasons.

John seconded. Approved 6-0. 6.NEW BUSINESS A.Update on Kechter Land Bank – Sue Beck-Ferkiss Land Bank is the only long-range affordable housing incentive. The City buys land to keep for future affordable housing – locks in price that would likely be more in the future, and ensures we have affordable housing throughout our community. Kechter Road location near two parks, two schools, good opportunity zone. In 2017, Council had a priority to issue an RFP for homeownership on a Land Bank property, and staff decided Kechter was most appropriate. Issued RFP in 2018, only received one response, issued second RFP in 2019, which received three responses. Chose TWG as development partner and entered into an Exclusive Negotiating agreement with them. Project feasibility studied in 2020. Hope to bring purchase and sale to Council in May 2021. Partners: City of Fort Collins, TWG, Housing Catalyst, Elevation Community Land Trust, State Division of Housing. Required subsidy about $98,000 per unit. Discussion: •For discussion: Would the board like to make a recommendation regarding selling the Kechter Land Bank parcel for $25,000 to develop Kechter Townhomes as permanently affordable for-sale homes? •How does this project’s subsidy amount compare to other projects? ATTACHMENT 4 AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD REGULAR MEETING 3 /4 /20 2 1 – MINUTES Page 2 o City’s subsidy experience has mostly been with Habitat for Humanity – the City has provided up to $80k per unit subsidy. • Development proposal is for 54 units. • Elevations Community Land Trust started in 2018, aspire to be statewide. o Initial projects in Denver and Aurora. o Have 40-50 homes that have been completed and sold, and many more projects in the works. o Not the mortgage issuer. • How did we get to the $25,000 amount? o Wanted to withhold some amount of the value for closing costs and other associated costs, etc. but are mostly donating the land (appraised at $1.2 million). • What does permanently affordable mean? o Easier in a rental scenario but, either way, the land is restricted. o Purchase process includes buyer certification of meeting income requirements and sales price certification as affordable. • Has a traffic study been done? o Yes, a study has been done and it’s been considered by the hearing officer in their decision making. • Need to increase affordable homeownership options in attempts to approach housing crisis. o This is a great way to work toward city goals outlined in the new plan. • This touches on several goals we haven’t done in the past, specifically homeownership projects. o Past land bank parcel (Horsetooth) went to rentals. • Have added 1000s of houses and apartments to this part of town, don’t see 54 units causing a huge increase in traffic concerns. Diane moved that the Affordable Housing Board make a recommendation to the City to sell this Land Bank property for the Kechter Townhomes project for $25,000. Jen seconded. 5-0-1 (Kristin abstained) Conveyance of City- Owned Property at 3620 Kechter Road This project is the sale of a 5-acre land bank parcel for the development of 54 permanently affordable for-sale town homes. While the change of use is from a single family and farm property to town homes, we assumed development of this infill location and compared the proposed affordable development of a typical single family market rate development. Development is the purpose of the Land Bank Program and this part of Fort Collins is rapidly building out.

Also, Neighborhood Livability and Social Health ATTACHMENT 5 Conveyance of City- Owned Property at 3620 Kechter Road Discussion:  While all development has a negative impact on the environment, this property is not likely to be maintained as is for long due to the infill nature of the property and the rapidly developing part of the city.  Development of townhome uses less resources such as water than traditional single family housing development. While still in the Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood zone, this development utilizes a density bonus because it is affordable housing.  This will be the community’s first permanently affordable home ownership community. This contributes to housing stability which increases economic opportunities and equitable access to home ownership to low- income households who are disproportionately people of color and who have been denied access to home ownership due to government policies in the past.

RECITALS: A.On April 17, 2001, the Fort Collins City Council adopted Ordinance No. 048, 2001, establishing the City’s Land Bank Program at Article XI of Chapter 23 of the City Code (the “Land Bank Ordinance”). The purpose of the Land Bank Program is to help affordable housing providers secure sites for future affordable housing development throughout the City by purchasing sites that would likely appreciate in the future while they were less expensive, and holding them for five to fifteen years. B.In January 2019, based on the City Council’s expressed interest in developing another of the City’s Land Bank properties, the City issued a Request for Proposals to find a qualified development team to construct an affordable housing development on the Land Bank property on Kechter Road in accordance with the requirements of the Land Bank Ordinance, and ultimately selected Purchaser. C.Purchaser proposes constructing a townhome community that would be owner- occupied and restricted to households earning 80% of the area median income (AMI) or less (the “Development”). The Development would include a minimum of fifty (50) townhome units, though the parties intend that Purchaser will construct as many units as are possible under the City’s Land Use Code and allowing for site specific requirements. D. Upon completion of the Development, Purchaser intends to sell the Property to ECLT Kechter Commons, LLC, or another buyer reasonably acceptable to the City (“Owner.”) E.Purchaser has completed a Feasibility Analysis, preliminary design for cost estimates, and a market study. NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to be legally bound whereby City agrees to convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to acquire from City, the Property, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 1.Description of Property.

B. Covenant. Pursuant to Section 23-354 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins, the use of the property shall be limited by a covenant requiring the following (the “Covenant”): (1) Use of the Property shall be permanently restricted to affordable homeownership housing for households at or below 80% of the AMI for Fort Collins. (2) Purchaser shall commence development of all housing within 24 months of Closing and shall obtain building permits for the construction of all such housing units                  EXHIBIT B Final 10/4/2021 - 3 - within 48 months of Closing, unless otherwise agreed by the City Manager in accordance with Section 23-354 of the City Code upon a finding that Purchaser has exerted a good faith and diligent effort in pursuing the Development but has suffered delays caused by unforeseen circumstances not reasonably within the control of Purchaser. (3) The Covenant shall run with the land and shall not be subordinated to other encumbrances on the Property, but shall be subject to the agreements therein and in the Deed of Trust securing the Covenant for the benefit of lenders encumbering the Property.

Purchase Price. The total purchase price of the Property will be Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000). The purchase price will be payable by Purchaser to City as follows: A. Earnest Money. No earnest money deposit is required in connection with this transaction, the mutuality of the promises of the parties hereto being deemed adequate consideration. B. Financial Consideration. Financial consideration in the amount of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), including all closing costs and customary prorations, will be payable by Purchaser to City in immediately available funds at Closing. C. Performance Loan. The parties acknowledge that the estimated current fair market value of the Property unrestricted by the Covenant described in 2.B above and the deed of trust described in this 3.C below is $1,200,000. The difference between the Purchase Price and the estimated unrestricted fair market value of the Property in the amount of $1,175,000 will be secured by a promissory note and deed of trust from Purchaser upon which Seller shall be entitled to foreclose in the event of a default of the Covenant. Upon Purchaser’s sale of the Property to Owner, Purchaser shall assign to Owner the Purchaser’s obligations under such note and deed of trust. 4. Title Insurance. A. Within fifteen (15) calendar days following the Effective Date, City will provide to Purchaser a Title Insurance Commitment (the “Title                  EXHIBIT B Final 10/4/2021 - 4 - Commitment”) from First American Title Insurance Company, 211 N.

The Title Commitment must show title to the Property in City, subject only to those exceptions shown on Schedule B-2 to the Title Commitment that are acceptable to Purchaser. City is responsible for the cost of the Title Commitment and Title Insurance. B. If the Title Commitment discloses title defects unsatisfactory to Purchaser and subject to which Purchaser need not take title, Purchaser may give City written notice of such defects by the date ten (10) calendar days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Title Commitment, and no later than ten (10) calendar days after notice of any title change. City must attempt in good faith to cure such defects prior to the date of Closing, at its expense, without in any other manner affecting the terms of this Agreement. C. If any instrument or deposit is necessary in order to correct a defect in or objection to title, the following apply: (1) Any instrument will be in a form and contain terms and conditions Title Company may reasonably require so as to be sufficiently satisfied and omit such defects or objection. (2) Any deposit will be made with Title Company. (3) City agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver any required instrument and to make any required deposit. D. If Title Company refuses to omit any title defect or objection prior to Closing, then Purchaser, at its election, has the right to: (1) accept such title as City is able to convey, without any reduction of the purchase price; or (2) rescind this Agreement and, upon such rescission, this Agreement will be null and void and of no further effect, and all parties to this Agreement will be released from all obligations hereunder. E. If City is unable to convey title as provided in this paragraph 4 to Purchaser due to an act or omission of City that is within the authority of City’s City Manager, City is in default and continues to be liable under this Agreement. F. Notwithstanding the foregoing,                  EXHIBIT B Final 10/4/2021 - 5 - (1) any title condition consisting of monetary liens, deeds of trust or other financial encumbrances against the Property must be removed by City at or prior to Closing, and City’s failure to cause the removal of the same will constitute a default by City under this Agreement; and (2) in the event City fails to cause the removal of a financial encumbrance against the Property prior to Closing, Purchaser has the right to pay amounts required to do so at Closing, and to receive a credit for such payment against the Purchase Price. 5. Legal Description. The parties each acknowledge that a legal description of the Property is attached to and incorporated by reference into this Agreement, and each acknowledges having received a copy of any such description. The parties agree that it is their intent that the referenced legal description describes the Property except as otherwise expressly provided, and agree to work in good faith and cooperatively to correct technical errors that any such legal description is determined to contain. 6. Special Taxing Districts. Special taxing districts may be subject to general obligation indebtedness that is paid by revenues produced from annual tax levies on the taxable property within such districts. Property owners in such districts may be placed at risk for increased mill levies and excessive tax burdens to support the servicing of such debt where circumstances arise resulting in the inability of such a district to discharge such indebtedness without such an increase in mill levies. Purchaser should investigate the debt financing requirements of the authorized general obligation indebtedness of such districts, existing mill levies of such district servicing such indebtedness, and the potential for an increase in such mill levies. 7. Maintenance of the Property/Title. City must keep, or cause to be kept, the Property in its condition as of the Effective Date until Closing, subject to normal wear-and-tear and seasonal changes, and agrees not to commit or permit waste thereon. City must not cause or permit new liens, easements or other encumbrances on the title to the Property, except as expressly agreed by Purchaser in writing. 8. Representations of City. Based on a reasonable inquiry within City’s municipal organization on behalf of City’s City Manager, City represents and warrants to the best of City’s knowledge, as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing, as follows: A. There is no litigation proceeding, including but not limited to any eminent domain proceeding, pending (or to City’s knowledge threatened) against or relating to any part of the Property, nor does City know of or have reasonable grounds to know of any basis for any such action.

City has not received notice of, and to the best of City’s knowledge, there are no violations of any laws, orders, regulations or requirements of any                  EXHIBIT B Final 10/4/2021 - 6 - governmental authority affecting the Property or any part thereof. C. City has the unconditional right and power, subject to the contingencies described in paragraph 28, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transaction(s) contemplated by this Agreement. D. City has not received notice of default or breach by City of any of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, rights-of-way or easements affecting the Property or any portion thereof; no default or breach now exists or will exist on the date of Closing; and no event or condition has occurred and is continuing that, with or without notice and/or the passage of time, will constitute such a default or breach. E. City represents that it has provided to Purchaser all environmental reports and, to the extent permitted by law, any other documentation in City’s possession related to City’s ownership of the Property. 9. Condition of the Property. A. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, City has not made, and does not make, any representations, warranties, promises, covenants or agreements of any kind or nature, whether express or implied, oral or written, concerning or with respect to: (1) the value, nature, quality or condition of the Property; (2) suitability of the Property for any uses contemplated by Purchaser; or (3) compliance of or by the Property or its operation with any laws, rules, ordinances or regulations of any applicable governmental authority, including, without limitation, any such laws, rules ordinances or regulations concerning environmental protection, pollution or land use. B. By closing, Purchaser will be acknowledging that Purchaser has been given the opportunity to inspect the Property, and that with the exception of any representations or warranties specifically set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser is relying solely on its own investigation of the Property. Purchaser furthermore acknowledges that its acquisition of the Property shall be on an “AS IS basis” without further improvement or remediation by City, and any claims against City in connection with any representations or warranties (except those specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and except any warranties of title contained in the deed to be delivered at Closing) are hereby released and waived by Purchaser.                  EXHIBIT B Final 10/4/2021 - 7 - 10. Inspection.

If Purchaser does not provide to City written notice of any unsatisfactory condition, as determined at Purchaser's sole discretion, signed by an authorized representative of Purchaser, at least thirty (30) days prior to Closing, Purchaser waives any objection to the physical condition of the Property and the improvements located thereon as of that date. If Purchaser provides written notice of any unsatisfactory condition, signed by an authorized representative of Purchaser, to City at least thirty (30) days prior to Closing, and City does not cure such conditions prior to Closing, this Agreement may be terminated at the option of Purchaser.
