Infrastructure improvements may be constructed prior to or concurrently with the housing facilities in the project. EXHIBIT E SUMMARY OF THE CONTRACTUAL ASSURANCES BY THE DEVELOPER AND OF THE COMPREHENSIVE FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS Contractual Assurances The Governing Body expects to enter into a Development Agreement (the "Development Agreement") with SRN LAND, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (the "Developer"). The Development Agreement will include the project construction schedule, a description of projects to be constructed, financial obligations of the developer, and administrative support from the City. The Development Agreement will include contractual assurances, if any, the Governing Body has received from the Developer guaranteeing the financial feasibility of specific housing tax incentive projects in the proposed district. Feasibility Study The Developer has conducted a study to determine whether the public benefits derived from the District will exceed the costs and that the income from the District, together with other sources of revenue provided by the developer, would be sufficient to pay for the public improvements to be unde1iaken in the District. The analysis estimates the property tax revenues that will be generated from the development of the District, less existing property taxes and certain unavailable property tax revenues to determine the revenue stream available to suppo1i the costs of the public infrastructure. The estimates indicate that the revenue realized from the project together with other sources of Developer funds would be adequate to pay the eligible costs.
