The City purchased the Authority Parcel for $9,800,000.00, which was paid using $6,800,000.00 of the City’s own funds and $3,000,000.00 contributed by the Authority.

D. The City desires to reimburse to the Authority the $3,000,000.00 (the “City Reimbursement Amount”) contributed by the Authority for the City’s acquisition of the Authority Parcel on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
