Execute amendments to City Secretary Contract Nos. 35326 and 35327,Economic Development Program Agreements with Trinity Bluff Development,Ltd., to modify the deadlines for the completion of the private improvements that are required under those Agreements in order to receive certain economic development grants from the City; and 2. Execute an amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 32340,a Community Facilities Agreement with Trinity Bluff Development, Ltd.,for certain drainage improvements within the Trinity Bluff Phase II development,to modify the scope of the private improvements and the related construction oriented milestones required under the Agreement in order to receive City funding for that project. DISCUSSION: On May 3, 2005, (M&C C-20708)the City Council authorized the execution of an Enhanced Community Facilities Agreement (ECFA)(City Secretary Contract(CSC)No. 32340) with Trinity Bluff Development,Ltd., (Developer)pursuant to which the Developer agreed to construct drainage improvements (the Infrastructure Improvements) within the Trinity Bluff Phase II residential development in Downtown Fort Worth, which at the time was slated to consist of 270 apartment units (the Development). Under the ECFA, the City agreed to reimburse the Developer for the lesser of the actual cost of the infrastructure improvements or$992,000.00 provided that the Developer completed the Development by December 31, 2008 (the Completion Deadline). On July 25, 2006, (M&C C-21587) the City Council authorized an extension of the Completion Deadline to December 31, 2009, and a redefinition of the Development to 200 apartment units. The City's participation in the cost of the infrastructure improvements was in addition to economic development grants authorized by Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code that had been pledged to the Developer pursuant to CSC Nos. 34173 and 34174 (the first 380 Agreements)in return for construction of the Development by the Completion Deadline. The scope of the Development then changed. On May 15, 2007, (M&C C-22121)the City Council authorized the execution of Amended and Restated Economic Development Program Agreements (CSC Nos. 35236 and 35237) (the 380 Agreements) that allowed a change in the scope of the Development to two apartment buildings, one a three—story building with 65 apartment units and the other a four—story building with 299 apartment units. The first 380 Agreements were terminated upon execution of the current 380 Agreements. Accordingly, the ECFA now needs to be amended to so that the description of the Development that Developer is required to complete under the ECFA in order to receive City funding for the infrastructure improvements matches the description of the Development that Developer is required to complete under the current 380 Agreements. Furthermore, the Developer's construction schedule for the Development has been delayed due to the current economic climate.As a result, the Developer has requested that the deadline for completion of the Development under both the ECFA and the 380 Agreements be extended as follows: CSC No. 35326 (380 Agreement for three—story, 65 unit apartment building): December 31, 2009,to December 31, 2010 CSC No. 35327 (380 Agreement for four—story, 299 unit apartment building): December 31, 2011,to December 31, 2012 CSC No. 32340 (ECFA): December 31, 2009,to December 31,2010 All other terms and conditions in the Agreements shall remain the same.
