Agreement
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 1" day of April, 2015, by and between the
City of Jefferson, Missouri, a constitutional charter city (hereinafter referred to as "City,") and
Cole County, Missouri, a political subdivision of the State of Missouri (hereinafter referred to as
"County") and the Dunklin Street Properties LLC, a Missouri Limited Liability Company
(hereinafter referred to as "Developer").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, on or about November 16, 2009, by ordinance # 14607, the City of
Jefferson, pursuant to Missouri Statutes created the Southside Redevelopment Area and adopted
the Southside Tax Increment Financing Plan for purposes of redevelopment and elimination of
blight; and
WHEREAS, the Southside Redevelopment Area consists, generally, of all that area
within the property bounded by 50/63, Highway 54 and Adams Street and Stadium Blvd; and
WHEREAS, the City of Jefferson on or about November 16, 2009, by ordinance# 14607
did also activate the Dunklin Redevelopment Area (a project area within the Southside
Redevelopment Area), and entered into a "Development Agreement and Tax Increment
Financing Contract" with Dunklin Street Properties LLC to act as the developer for the project
area; and
WHEREAS, the Dunklin Redevelopment Area consists of all real property located
within the 100 block of Dunklin Street; and
WHEREAS, the area from which the baseline for sales and property taxes (used to
determine the "increment" to be contributed to development costs) should have been established
by using the Dunklin Street Redevelopment Area, only. However, in error, the area used for that
determination was the entire Southside Redevelopment Area, resulting in a skewed baseline and
incorrect "increment" payments. Put another way, the entire Southside Redevelopment Area
was activated when only the Dunklin Street Redevelopment should have been activated; and
WHEREAS, the parties have worked together to resolve this issue and the resulting
overpayments/underpayments and all such payments are identified on the attached exhibit A,
which all parties believe is correct; and
WHEREAS, the parties enter into this agreement to correct all issues with the current
plan; and
NOW THEREFORE, the parties to this contract agree to the following:
