with the Government for loans and annual contributions covering one or more Projects
comprising approximately 300 units of low-rent housing and (b) to develop and
administer such Project or Projects, each of which shall be located within the
corporate limits of the Municipality. The obligations of the parties hereto shall
apply to each such Project.
S. (a)
Under the constitution and statutes of the State of Texas all
Projects are exempt from all real and personal property taxes
and special assessments levied or imposed by any Taxing Body.
With respect to any Project, so long as either (i) such Project
is owned by a public body or governmental agency and is used
for low-rent housing purposes, or (ii) any contract between the
Local Authority and the Government for loans or annual contri-
butions, or both, in connection with such Project remains in
force and effect, or (iii) any bonds issued in connection with
such Project or any monies due to the Government in connection
with such Project remain unpaid, whichever period is the longest,
the Municipality agrees that it will not levy or impose any real
or personal property taxes or special assessments upon such
Project or upon the Local Authority with respect thereto. During
such period, the Local Authority shall make annual payments (herein
called "Payments in Lieu of Taxes") in lieu of such taxes and
special assessments and in payment for the Public services and
facilities furnished from time to time without other cost or
charge for or with respect to such Project.
(b)
Each such annual Payment in Lieu of Taxes shall be made after
the end of the fiscal year established for such Project, and
shall be in an amount equal to either (i) ten percent (10%)
of the aggregate Shelter Rent Charged by the Local Authority
in respect to such Project during such fiscal year, or (ii)
the amount permitted to be paid by applicable State law in
effect on the date such payment is made, whichever amount
is the lower.
Cc)
The Local Authority shall distribute the Payments in Lieu of
Taxes among the Taxing Bodies in the proportion which the real
property taxes which would have been paid to each Taxing Body
for such year if the Project were not exempt from taxation
bears to the total real property taxes which would have been
paid to all Taxing Bodies for such year if the Project were
not exempt from taxation; Provided, however, That no payment
for any year shall be made to any Taxing Body in excess of
the amount of the real property taxes which would have been
paid to such Taxing Body for such year if the Project were
not exempt from taxation.
Upon failure of the Local Authority to make any Payment in
Lieu of Taxes, no lien against any Project or assets of the
Local Authority shall attach, nor shall any interest or
penalties accrue or attach on account thereof.
4. The Municipality agrees that, subsequent to the date of initiation (as
defined in the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended) of each Project and
within five years after the completion thereof, or such further period as may be
approved by the Government, there has been or will be elimination (as approved by
the Government) by demolition, condemnation, effective closing, or compulsory
repair or improvement, of unsafe or insanitary dwelling units situated in the
locality or metropolitan area in which such Project is located, substantially
equal in number to the number of newly constructed dwelling ~nits provided by
such Project; Provided, That, where more than one family is living in an unsafe
or insanitary dwelling unit, the elimination of such unit shall count as the
elimination of units equal to the number of families accommodated therein; and
Provided, further, That, this paragraph 4 shall got apply in the case of (i)
any Project developed on the site of a Slum cleared subsequent to July 15, 1949,
and that the dwelling units eliminated by the clearance of the site of such Pro-
ject shall not be counted as elimination for any other Project or any other low-
rent housing project, or (ii) any Project located in a rural nonfarm area.
5. During the period comaencing with the date of the acquisition of any
part of the site or sites of any Project and continuing so long as either (i)
such Project is owned by a public body or governmental agency and is used for
low-rent housing purposes, or (ii) any contract between the Local Authority and
the Government for loans or annual contributions, or both, in connection with
such Project remains in force and effect, or (iii) any bonds issued in connection
with such Project or any monies due to the Government in connection with such
Project remain unpaid, whichever period is the longest, the Municipality without
cost or charge to the Local Authority or the tenants of such Project (other than
the Payments in Lieu of Taxes) shall:
Furnish or cause to be furnished to the Local Authority and
the tenants of such Project public services and facilities
of the same character and to the same extent as are furnished
from time to time without cost or charge to other dwellings
and inhabitants in the Municipality;
Vacate such streets, roads, and alleys within the area of such
Project as may be necessary in the development thereof, and
convey without charge to the Local Authority such interest as
the }dunicipality may have in such vacated areas, and, insofar
as it is lawfully able to do so without cost or expense to the
Local Authority or to the Municipality, cause to be removed
from such vacated areas, insofar as it may be necessary, all
public or private utility lines and equipment.
-2-
(c)
Insofar as the Municipality may lawfully do so, (i) grant such
deviations from the building code of the Municipality as are
reasonable and necessary to promote economy and efficiency in
the development and administration of such Project, and at the
same time safeguard health and safety, and (ii) make such
changes in any zoning of the site and surrounding territory of
such Project as are reasonable and necessary for the develop-
ment and protection of such Project and the surrounding territory;
(d) Accept grants of easements necessary for the development of such
Project; and
(e)
Cooperate with the Local Authority by such other lawful action
or ways as the Municipality and the Local Authority may find
necessary in connection with the development and administration
of such Project.
6. In respect to any Project the Municipality further agrees that within a
reasonable time after receipt of a written request therefor from the Local Authority:
Ca)
It will accept the dedication of all interior streets, roads,
alleys, and adjacent sidewalks within the area of such Project,
together with all storm and sanitary sewer mains in such dedi-
cated areas, after the Local Authority, at its own expense, has
completed the grading, improvement, paving, and installation
thereof in accordance with specifications acceptable to the
Municipality;
(b)
It will accept necessary dedications of land for, and will grade,
improve, pave, and provide sidewalks for, all streets bounding
such Project or necessary to provide adequate access thereto
(in .consideration whereof the Local Authority shall pay to the
Municipality such amount as would be assessed against the Project
site for such work if such site were privately owned); and
(c)
It will provide, or cause to be provided, water mains, and storm
and sanitary sewer mains, leading to such Project and serving the
bounding streets thereof (in consideration whereof the Local
Authority shall pay to the Municipality such amount as would be
assessed against the Project site for such work if such site were
privately owned).
7. If by reason of the Municipality's failure or refusal to furnish or cause
to be furnished any public services or facilities which it has agreed hereunder to
furnish or to cause to be furnished to the Local Authority or to the tenants of
any Project, the Local Authority incurs any expense to obtain such services or
facilities then the Local Authority may deduct the amount of such expense from any
Payments in Lieu of Taxes due or to become due to the Municipality in respect to
any Project or any other low-rent housing projects owned or operated by the Local
Authority.
8. No Cooperation Agreement heretofore entered into between the Municipality
and the Local Authority shall be construed to apply to any Project covered by this
Agreement.
9. So long as any contract between the Local Authority and the Government for
loans (including preliminary loans) or annual contributions, or both, inconnection
with any Project remains in force and effect, or so long as any bonds issued in
connection with any Project or any monies due to the Government in connection with
any Project remain unpaid, this Agre~ement shall not be abrogated, changed, or modi-
fied without the consent of the Government. The privileges and obligations of the
Municipality hereunder shall remain in full force and effect with respect to each
Project so long as the beneficial title to such Project is held by the Local Author-
ity or by the Government or by any other-public body or governmental agency authorized
by law to engage in the development or administration of low-rent housing projects.
If at any time the beneficial title to, or possession of, any Project is held by the
Government, other public body or~ governmental agency, the provisions hereof shall
inure to the benefi{ of and may be enforced by the Government, such other public
body or governmental agency.

pectively signed this Agreement and caused their seals to be affixed and
