Project Overview
The Borough has a strong need to relocate the Mills Street Substation from its current site. The
current electric substation is in a flood plain which suffered quite a few outages as a result;
The Borough and Urigroup entered into a Letter of Intent on April 28, 2014 to begin exploring the
relocation of the Substation and Meter Replacement;
The Woodland Hills area was discussed as the desired location which is composed of
approximately 170 acres and has been zoned and approved for 440 dwelling units. The Borough
expressed a strong interest in having Woodland Hills developed, which is the largest remaining
developable parcel in Middletown. On May 13, 2014, Urigroup secured site control of Woodland
Hills for the purposes of relocating the Substation and developing the residential community;
On November 17, 2014, the Borough Council authorized the Boroughs Electrical Engineer to move
forward on a preliminary design and proposal for the relocation in combination of the substation to
the Woodland Hills area;
On February 17, 2015, the Borough and Urigroup executed a Development Agreement to develop
the Substation at Woodland Hills (see Proposed Borough Facility Plan enclosed). Under the
Development Agreement, the parties agreed that Urigroup would develop Substation and Electric
Meter replacement then lease them to the Borough under terms to be negotiated further;
Page 1
Urigroup has been working with the Boroughs Electrical Engineer on relocation and consolidation of
the Substation to Woodland Hills, and has obtained funding for the development of the Project. In
addition, the Borough and Urigroup have submitted applications for two Community Development
Block Grants and have begun the process of submitting an application for Redevelopment
Assistance Capital Program funding. These funds would go towards reducing the Boroughs out-ofpocket financial obligation for the Project;
By relocating the substation to Woodland Hills, it will kick start a project that has been in planning for
over 13 years, the site work improvements at Vine Street and Woodland Avenue will open the site
up for future development, and more importantly the Substation will be relocated to a site 30 feet
above the flood plain (Woodland Hills Site Plan is enclosed);
The Economic and Fiscal Impact of the development creates significant benefits for the Borough
(Fiscal & Economic Impact Analysis is enclosed);
Consolidating the Mills and Spruce Street Substations into a new substation and revamping the
existing metered system to a smart grid system will provide much greater efficiencies for the
Borough and its customers. In addition once the construction has been completed, if the Borough
were to later lease or sell their elect distribution system then the newly installed system would have
much greater value when looking for possible investors/operators.

Urigroup has provided two options to finance and develop the Project at Woodland
Hills on the following pages;
The following options have their advantages and disadvantages when compared to
one another;
The priority has been to safe guard and upgrade electric distribution system as
quickly as possible given its current dire condition, while at this time spurring
economic development through the Woodland Hills Development.

Pros:
Cons:
There may be uncertainty for municipal bond financing in light of current events and market volatility;
Tax-exempt debt must be retired/defeased before Electric Distribution System can be sold or leased to a Private Entity.
*-The projections above are approximate and subject to the current market conditions. Not a final quote.
Page 4
Pros:
Funding is in place. Urigroup provides Borough the ability to Rate Lock now and protect the financing from market volatility;
Project completion and occupancy by September 2016, if we begin by August 15th, 2015;
All approved Expenses to be reimbursed at closing and no additional capital provided from Borough until first lease payment on
October 1st, 2016;
The Master Lease will provide greater flexibility for the Borough. One benefit is that it is assignable, there is no need to
terminate lease in order to sell or lease distribution system;
Urigroup will work with the Borough to maximize the use of subsidies/grants for Project;
Similar call provisions and/or yield protection as tax-exempt financing and/or prepayment options;
Cons:
Lease payments will be higher than Tax-exempt financing throughout its term due to annual escalator of lease;
If Urigroup utilizes public subsidies the project would then be subject to prevailing wage.
*-The projections above are approximate and subject to the current market conditions. Not a final quote.
