4.1. Defined.
Unless otherwise specified herein, Owner shall be in default of this Agreement if
(i) Owner fails to construct the Required Improvements as defined in Section 1.1; (ii) ad

taxes with respect to the tangible personal property located on the Premises, become
delinquent and Owner does not timely and properly follow the legal procedures for
protest and/or contest of any such ad valorem real property or tangible personal property
taxes or (iii) HOME BUYER DOES NOT USE THE PREMISES AS ITS PRIMARY
RESIDENCE ONCE THE ABATEMENT BEGINS (collectively, each an "Event of

Subject to Section 5, if the City determines that an Event of Default has occurred,
the City shall provide a written notice to Owner that describes the nature of the Event of
Default. Owner shall have ninety (90) calendar days from the date of receipt of this
written notice to fully cure or have cured the Event of Default. If Owner reasonably
believes that Owner will require additional time to cure the Event of Default, Owner shall
promptly notify the City in writing, in which case (i) after advising the City Council in an
open meeting of Owner's efforts and intent to cure, Owner shall have one hundred eighty
(180) calendar days from the original date of receipt of the written notice, or(ii) if Owner
reasonably believes that Owner will require more than one hundred eighty (180) days to
cure the Event of Default, after advising the City Council in an open meeting of Owner's
efforts and intent to cure, such additional time, if any, as may be offered by the City
Council in its sole discretion.
4.3. Termination for Event of Default and Payment of Liquidated Damages.
If an Event of Default which is defined in Section 4.1 has not been cured within
the time frame specifically allowed under Section 4.2, the City shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement immediately. Owner acknowledges and agrees that an uncured
5
Event of Default will (i) harm the City's economic development and redevelopment
efforts on the Premises and in the vicinity of the Premises; (ii) require unplanned and
expensive additional administrative oversight and involvement by the City; and (iii)
otherwise harm the City, and Owner agrees that the amounts of actual damages therefrom
are speculative in nature and will be difficult or impossible to ascertain. Therefore, upon
termination of this Agreement for any Event of Default, Owner shall not be eligible for
the Abatement for the remaining Term and Owner shall pay the City, as liquidated
damages, all taxes that were abated in accordance with this Agreement for each year
when an Event of Default existed and which otherwise would have been paid to the City
in the absence of this Agreement. The City and Owner agree that this amount is a
reasonable approximation of actual damages that the City will incur as a result of an
uncured Event of Default and that this Section 4.3 is intended to provide the City with
compensation for actual damages and is not a penalty. This amount may be recovered by
the City through adjustments made to Owner's ad valorem property tax appraisal by the
appraisal district that has jurisdiction over the Premises. Otherwise, this amount shall be
due, owing and paid to the City within sixty (60) days following the effective date of
termination of this Agreement. In the event that all or any portion of this amount is not
paid to the City within sixty (60) days following the effective date of termination of this
Agreement, Owner shall also be liable for all penalties and interest on any outstanding
amount at the statutory-rate for delinquent taxes, as determined by the Code at the time of
the payment of such penalties and interest(currently, Section 33.01 of the Code).
4.4. Termination at Will.
If the City and Owner mutually determine that the development or use of the
Premises or the anticipated Required Improvements are no longer appropriate or feasible,
or that a higher or better use is preferable, the City and Owner may terminate this
Agreement in a written format that is signed by both parties. In this event, (i) if the Term
has commenced, the Term shall expire as of the effective date of the termination of this
Agreement; (ii) there shall be no recapture of any taxes previously abated; and (iii)
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder.

homeowner who will use the Required Improvements as its primary residence or the
homeowner's mortgagee which City Council hereby agrees to, the Abatement granted hereunder

under this Agreement. Owner-may not otherwise assign, lease or convey any of its rights under

6
purpose of this section, "affiliate" shall mean (i) any entity in which at least 25% of the ownership

SUBJECT APPROVAL OF TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE NEAR SOUTHEAST
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED IN
THE EVANS AND- ROSEDALE NEIGHBORHOOD EMPOWERMENT ZONE AT 1059
EAST HUMBOLT STREET AND 1231 EAST TERRELL AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the application of Near Southeast Community Development Corporation (NSECDC), owner
of properties located at 1059 East Humbolt Street and 1231 East Terrell Avenue, for a five-year
Municipal Property Tax Abatement for the above mentioned property in the Evans and Rosedale
Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ); and
2. Find that the Statements set forth in the recitals of the attached Tax Abatement Agreement (the
Agreement) with the NSECDC are true and correct; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with the NSECDC in accordance with the
NEZ Basic Incentives.
DISCUSSION:
The NSECDC is the owner of the properties at 1059 East Humbolt Street Lot 10 Block 2 of Zabriski
Addition and 1231 East Terrell Avenue Lot 7 Block 1 of the Ligon, WL Subdivision located in the Evans
and Rosedale NEZ and Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone (NERZ No 4). The NSECDC
applied for a five-year municipal property tax abatement under the NEZ Basic Incentives (M&C G-
13208 R, M&C G-13580 and M&C G-13662, as amended). The Housing Department has reviewed the
application and certified that the property meets the eligibility criteria to receive NEZ municipal property
tax abatement. The NEZ Basic Incentives offer a five-year municipal property tax abatement on the increased
value of improvements to qualified owners who will perform eligible rehabilitation on residential properties
within a NEZ. Eligible rehabilitation includes physical improvements to real property equal to at least 30% of
the Tarrant Appraisal District(TAD) value of the property(excluding land).
The NSECDC has proposed to spend approximately $78,000 on the property located at 1059 East
Humbolt Street and $52,000 on the property located at 1231 East Terrell Avenue in eligible
improvements. Work to be performed includes the roof replacements, foundation, rewiring, plumbing,
framing, flooring, painting and installation of various fixtures.
Upon execution of the Agreement, the total assessed value of the homes used for calculating municipal
property tax will be frozen for a five-year period, starting on January 1, 2004, at the pre-improvement
value as defined by the TAD on January 1, 2003, as follows:
1059 East Humbolt Street
Pre-improvement TAD Value of Improvements $5,000
Pre-improvement Estimated Value of Land $1,000
Total Pre-improvement Estimated Value $6,000

property located at 1059 East Humbolt Street and $314 per year on the property located at 1231 East
Terrell Avenue for a total of $3945 over the five-year period. However, this estimate may be different

property.
The Properties are located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
