HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.oDate: June 20, 2011 Proposed Action Overview Item No. First Amendment to Contract for Private Development with ImageTrend LLC Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the First Amendment to the Contract for Private Development with ImageTrend L.L.C. In August of 2009, the City Council approved a Contract for Private Development with ImageTrend (Contract) that involved the sale of city -owned property located adjacent to ImageTrend which is located at 20855 Kensington Blvd. ImageTrend is a software development company that started in Lakeville and had over 100 full -time salaried employees in their 33,000 square foot building in 2009. ImageTrend is continuing to grow its business and create jobs and is proposing to begin and complete construction on a 24,000 square foot addition to their existing building this year. One proposed amendment to the previously approved contract involves extending the completion date for the first phase of their building expansion from November 30 to December 31 of this year. The second proposed amendment allows the City to subordinate its interests to more than mortgage for the initial construction financing. ImageTrend is financing a portion of the project with a bank mortgage and the balance with a SBA 504 loan. The original Business Subsidy Agreement portion of the Contract for this project contained a job creation goal of a minimum of 21 jobs at a minimum wage of $20 per hour within two years of the date of closing on the sale of the property. ImageTrend has already met this job creation requirement. Primary Issues to Consider • Does this proposed amendment change any of the significant terms of the original contract? It does not as the Company is completing the first phase of their require expansion in the same year as specified and the City is only subordinating to the same amount of initial financing.
