EXHIBIT 10(b)
CITY OF JACKSONVILLE
INTERCHANGE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Interchange Development Agreement is made and entered into by and
between the CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, Florida, a municipal corporation and a
political subdivision of the State of Florida, hereinafter referred to as the
"City", and GRAN CENTRAL CORPORATION, a Florida corporation, hereinafter
referred to as "Gran Central", all as of the ______ day of ___________, 1999.
RECITATION OF FACTS
A. WHEREAS, Interstate 95 currently serves as a primary north-south
artery for traffic in and around the City. There currently exists no
interchange south of US 1 on Interstate 95 to serve the southern end of the
City. The southern end of the City is presently experiencing significant growth
thereby increasing significantly the traffic congestion on other roads which
traffic could be served by Interstate 95 if an interchange were constructed.
The construction of an interchange at the intersection of Interstate 95 and Old
St. Augustine Road (hereinafter referred to as the "Interchange") is not
currently planned by State or Federal authorities and will not be constructed
for a number of years by State or Federal authorities. In light of this growth
and in light of the acute and critical stress being placed on other
transportation facilities in the vicinity, the City recognizes the immediate
and critical need for the Interchange.
B. WHEREAS, the City recognizes that construction of the Interchange
will also make a significant beneficial contribution to current and future
regional transportation needs and constitutes "large regional impact" as
provided for in the Incentive Policy of Jacksonville Economic Development
Commission as such Incentive Policy has been approved by the City.
C. WHEREAS, the City does not currently have funds appropriated or a
source of funds dedicated to construction of the Interchange; however, it
anticipates that the enhanced property values and growth potential generated by
the Interchange will generate sufficient funds to pay for a number of
transportation improvements, including but not limited to the Interchange.
D. WHEREAS, recognizing the enhanced property values it will enjoy as a
result of the Interchange, Gran Central is willing to cause the Interchange to
be immediately designed, constructed and approved in accordance with the
standards and requirements of the State of Florida Department of Transportation
(the "DOT"), at its cost, provided that such costs may be reimbursed through
increased County ad valorem revenues generated from the Xxxxxxxxxxx
0
Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx as hereinafter defined and from other sources as provided for
herein.
E. WHEREAS, the purpose of this Interchange Development Agreement
("Agreement") is to set forth the respective rights and obligations of the City
and Gran Central concerning the Interchange, including but not limited to:
1. The agreement of Gran Central to:
(a) conduct such studies and analysis as may be
required to obtain regulatory approval of the location of the Interchange;
(b) use its good faith efforts to obtain DOT and
other regulatory approvals;
(c) convey to the DOT certain real property necessary
or desirable for the construction of the Interchange;
(d) design and construct the Interchange; and
(e) terminate the Access Easement.
2. The agreement of the City to:
(a) obtain title to real property by eminent domain
or otherwise as necessary or desirable to develop the Interchange, the cost of
which shall be advanced by Gran Central;
(b) establish a developer contribution fund for
investment recoupment by Gran Central (the "Investment Recouping Fund"); and
(c) from amounts paid into the Investment Recouping
Fund so established, pay to Gran Central and make an economic development grant
to Gran Central to be funded in an amount equal to the Project Grant, as
hereinafter defined, in consideration of the acquisition, permitting, design and
construction of the Interchange and New Access Road, as hereinafter defined.
F. WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of related agreements, DOT will
monitor and inspect construction of the Interchange to confirm compliance with
the DOT standards and requirements; accept conveyance of the real property
including those lands when acquired by the City and accept conveyance of
improvements constituting the Interchange upon completion; and maintain the
Interchange as part of the interstate highway system upon its completion.
1. Gran Central is qualified to carry out and complete the
Interchange in accordance with this Agreement.
2

2. Gran Central's willingness to assume responsibility for
financing the cost and expense of the Interchange and to accept payment of the
Interchange Development Costs in annual installments will enable the City to
fund and pay the Interchange Development Costs as and when incremental property
tax revenues generated from the Interchange in the Interchange Development Area
are received by the City.
3. Funding from the sources provided herein for the
Interchange Development Costs is necessary to enable Gran Central to construct
the Interchange on a basis that will be economically viable and competitive.
4. The authorizations provided by this Interchange Development
Ordinance are for public uses and purposes for which the City may use its powers
as a municipality and a political subdivision of the State of Florida in order
to provide essential economic development assistance for the Interchange, and
the necessity in the public interest for the provisions herein enacted is hereby
declared as a matter of legislative determination.
G. WHEREAS, Gran Central recognizes the importance of the role of
community service in good corporate citizenship. Gran Central provides
significant community service and support to the City of Jacksonville and its
citizens by participation in numerous voluntary community activities and has
pledged to continue it's efforts toward community service in Jacksonville.
H. WHEREAS, the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission has
recommended approval of the Interchange proposal; and
I. WHEREAS, Gran Central has agreed to finance the cost of the
Interchange and to accept payment of the Interchange Development Costs in
installments as provided in this Agreement, enabling the City to fund and pay
the Interchange Development Costs if and when incremental property tax revenues
generated by the Interchange within the Interchange Development Area and
Investment Recouping Funds are received by the City and thereby eliminate the
necessity for the City to borrow funds in order to pay the Interchange
Development Costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein set
forth, together with other good and valuable consideration, the City and Gran
Central agree to the terms of this Agreement.

shall be filed or utilized without the prior written approval of Gran Central.
Gran Central shall pay the cost and expenses of the condemnation proceedings
for the Xxxxxxxxx Property, including but not limited to any appraisal reports.
The City shall have no responsibility for any such costs or expenses.
(b) Upon completion of the condemnation, the City will convey
the Xxxxxxxxx Property to the DOT by Special Warranty Deed pursuant to the DOT
Agreement subject only to those matters that were disclosed by title search and
which are not removed as part of the condemnation proceeding. The City agrees to
remove all objectionable title matters pursuant to the condemnation proceeding
to the extent possible. Gran Central shall pay the cost of recording the

shall be paid by Gran Central without any right to reimbursement from the
Project Grant or the Investment Recouping Fund.
(b) Upon receiving Gran Central's notice of termination, the

percent (3%) per annum calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and multiplied
by the amount of unreimbursed Interchange Development Costs incurred by Gran

be compounded annually. The sum of (x) + (y) shall constitute the "Maximum IDF
Reimbursement Cost". No additional amounts shall be reimbursed from the Project
Grant or Investment Recouping Fund without further City approval.
6. City Reimbursement of Interchange Development Costs and Construction
Funds Factor.
6.1 The amount of Project Grant, as hereinafter defined, shall be
accrued by the City in favor of Gran Central annually as determined in
accordance with subsection 6.2, and shall be due and payable to Gran Central on
or before May 15 of each calendar year, commencing on the later of (x) May 15,
2000 or (y) Conditional Acceptance of the Interchange by FDOT and ending (i) May
15, 2019 or; (ii) upon the City's payment of the Maximum IDF Reimbursement Cost,

Cost or after payment of the final installment due May 15, 2019.
6.2 The City shall make an economic development grant annually in an
amount equal to the "Project Grant" (as defined and determined in this Section
6.2) received by the City during the twelve (12) month period ended April 1 last
preceding the due date of such annual installment; provided, however, the first
annual
11
12
installment paid to Gran Central shall also include any Project Grant unpaid to
Gran Central as of such first installment. For the purposes of this Agreement,
"Project Grant" means as follows:
For the calculation for the years 1999 through 2008, 100% of the
following and for the calculation for the years 2009 through 2018, 75% of the
following:
That dollar amount equal to the difference between (i) the municipal
and county ad valorem tax, exclusive of any amount from any debt service
millage, actually paid by any taxpayer (net of any discount pursuant to Section
197.162, F.S., or any successor provision, actually taken by the taxpayer)
during such period with respect to all real property and tangible personal
property comprising the "Interchange Development Area" as described on Exhibit
"C" attached hereto (regardless of the ownership of such property) and (ii) the
amount of such taxes which would have been levied or imposed within the
Interchange Development Area using the assessed value for the year 1998 (the
base year) which for purposes of this Agreement, shall be $43,367,515.00.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Gran Central not receive a minimum of
$5,000,000 paid from the Investment Recouping Fund by January 1, 2010, then in
that event the applicable percentage of Project Grant to be paid to Gran Central
will remain at 100% for each year thereafter until May 15, 2019 or until the
Maximum IDF Reimbursement Cost is paid to Gran Central, should such date be
earlier. The foregoing reference to ad valorem taxes shall be deemed to include
any other municipal or county taxes, or other municipal or county fees or
charges in the nature of or in lieu of taxes, that may hereafter be levied or
imposed on Gran Central or other taxpayer or with respect to real property or
tangible personal property comprising the Interchange Development Area in lieu
of or in substitution for the aforesaid taxes and which are levied or imposed
for general municipal or county purposes or shall be available for the City's
general fund. By April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April 15, 2000 and
ending April 15, 2019, the City shall calculate and give written notice to Gran
Central of the amount of the Project Grant received during the preceding twelve
(12) month period ended April 1, together with a copy of the City's detailed
calculations. If Gran Central does not give written notice to the City of
objection to the City's calculations within thirty (30) days after its receipt
thereof, the City's calculations shall be considered acceptable.
6.3 The City covenants and agrees with Gran Central that it shall
budget and appropriate for each City fiscal year, solely out of non-ad valorem
revenues and other legally available funds, a sum equal to the amount of the
Project Grant due for the twelve (12) month period ending on April 15 of each
year. Each annual payment by the City of the amount equal to the Project Grant
to reimburse Gran Central for the Interchange Development Costs and
12
13
the Construction Cost Factor shall be payable by the City to Gran Central
solely out of non-ad valorem revenues and other legally available funds, and
shall not constitute a pledge of or lien upon any other revenues or funds of
the City, and Gran Central and any person, firm or entity claiming by, through
or under Gran Central shall have no right to require the imposition of any tax
or the establishment of any rate of taxation in order to obtain the amounts
necessary to fully pay the Interchange Development Costs and/or the
Construction Funds Factor or any such interest. No pledge or lien shall attach
to any non-ad valorem revenues or other legally available funds prior to the
time when the amount equal to the amount of the Project Grant for any calendar
year has been so appropriated for payment of the next annual installment
payment and the related funds equal to the amount of the Project Grant have
been received by the City. Gran Central acknowledges that this pledge shall be
considered junior and subordinate to any senior pledges the City may designate
to this revenue source in the future.
6.4 The City's reimbursement of the Interchange Development Costs and
the Construction Funds Factor shall not be deemed to constitute a debt,
liability or obligation of the City or of the State of Florida or any political
subdivision thereon within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory
limitation, or a pledge of the faith and credit or taxing power of the City or
of the State of Florida or any political subdivision thereof, but shall be
payable solely from the funds provided therefor in this Section 6.4. The City
shall not be obligated to pay the Interchange Development Costs or the
Construction Funds Factor or any installment thereof or interest thereon except
from the non-ad valorem revenues or other legally available funds provided for
that purpose, and neither the faith or credit nor the taxing power of the City
or of the State of Florida or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to
the payment of the Interchange Development Costs or the Construction Funds
Factor or any installment thereof or interest thereon. Gran Central, or any
person, firm or entity claiming by, through or under Gran Central, or any other
person whomsoever, shall never have any right, directly or indirectly, to compel
the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the City or of the State of
Florida or any political subdivision thereof for the payment of the Interchange
Development Costs or the Construction Funds Factor or any installment thereof or
interest thereon.
6.5 Any payments not paid by the City to Gran Central on the due date
shall bear interest from and after ten (10) days from the due date until paid,
at the rate of thirteen percent (13%) per annum. The City shall be obligated to
pay to Gran Central any accrued portion of the Project Grant upon Conditional
Acceptance of the Interchange by the DOT in accordance with the DOT Agreement,
and on May 15 of each year thereafter until such time as the
13
14
Interchange Development Costs, as limited by Section 5.3 above, and the
Construction Funds Factor are repaid, or until May 15, 2019, whichever first
occurs. Amounts paid by the City to Gran Central shall be applied first to
reduce the balance of Interchange Development Costs and second to the
Construction Funds Factor.
6.6 Upon the completion of the construction of the Interchange and New
Access Road and upon acceptance of the Interchange by the DOT and upon
acceptance of the New Access Road by the City in accordance with City standards,
Gran Central shall provide the City with a certified statement of the
Interchange Development Costs.
6.7 In order to facilitate the City's calculation of the Project Grant,
on or before April 1 of each annual period for which the Project Grant is to be
calculated, Gran Central shall provide the City with a list of all City Property
Appraiser's Real Estate Identification Numbers for all real estate and tangible
personal property owned by Gran Central within the Interchange Development Area
and the names and addresses of any tenants of Gran Central located within the
Interchange Development Area. The City shall be responsible for obtaining the
same information for any third party owners or tenants within the Interchange
Development Area.
6.8 Should the City receive payment from the DOT, the Federal Highway
Administration or other governmental agency for the express purpose of
development of the Interchange or any of the improvements constructed or to be
constructed by Gran Central as part of the Interchange Development Costs, such
funds shall be paid by the City to Gran Central in the year of receipt, subject
to the Maximum IDF Reimbursement Cost.
7. Investment Recouping as Source of Reimbursement. The Director of
Planning of the City and Gran Central have agreed upon a system of charge and
collection from future development within the City as an investment recouping
schedule meeting the requirements of Section 655.210, Ordinance Code, which
Investment Recoupment Schedule is attached hereto as Exhibit "D" (the
"Schedule"). Pursuant to the Schedule, Fair Share Contributions shall be paid
into the Investment Recouping Fund and paid by the City to Gran Central as
provided for herein and in the Schedule until payment in full of the
Interchange Development Costs and the accrued and unpaid Construction Funds
Factor, but not to exceed the Maximum IDF Reimbursement Cost.
8. Termination Rights of Gran Central. In addition to particular and
specified termination provisions set forth herein, Gran Central shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement as follows:
14
15
(a) Upon the failure or refusal of the DOT to execute the DOT
Agreement pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement on or before twelve (12)
months from the date hereof;
(b) Should the City fail to finally complete the acquisition
of the Xxxxxxxxx Property in the time period and for the amount approved by Gran
