Proposed Costco development location

Ridgeland, Mississippi
Application No. TVG-MVK-2015-422
Dear Ms. Graham:

Please use your discretion and authority to require a public hearing for the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers concerning the adverse environmental impact the proposed
Costco development in Ridgeland would have upon adjoining and down-stream wetlands;
the flooding of public property owned and controlled by the U.S. Department of the
Interior; and an inability of the private developer, Andrew Mattiace, to articulate a
reasonable, lawful mitigation plan within the city limits of Ridgeland.
Many species of federal protected wildlife and other living creatures are reportedly
present on the public/ private joint venture, Gene McGee/ Andrew Mattiace proposed
Costco development site referenced in Application No. TVG-MVK-2015-422. A public
hearing would allow public expression of concern from citizens and other stake-holders
advocating that the Corps and other federal agencies enforce all aspects of the Endangered
Species Conservation Act of 1973, consistent with the spirit, and letter of the law.
The proposed d~velopment requires filling and/or excavation of more than 300
linear feet of perennial, intermittent, and/or ephemeral streams, in violation of Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. A public
hearing would enable a thorough public debate concerning enforcement of the recent
revisions of the Corps 2008 mitigation rule, 33 C.F.R. Part 332, and recently revised
performance standards for this particular project.

As a graduate of Mississippi College, I am committed to the preservation of

culturally sensitive, archeological artifacts and burial remains of native, Mississippi
Choctaws. Because of the factual verification of historical, Choctaw, native-American burial
grounds and archeological artifacts, in and around the proposed Costco development site,
any large scale, 'big box,' transient, commercial development adjoining the Natchez Trace
National Park anywhere--- from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee, should be
closely scrutinized. The proposed Costco site may violate the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3001 et seq., given reports of
previously documented, historical and/or archeological remains and cultural artifacts at
the proposed site location.
As a resident and business owner in Ridgeland, I am opposed to the US Army Corps
of Engineers, the Department of the Interior, or any other governmental entity authorizing
the development ofCostco in the location proposed by Mayor Gene McGee: South of the
Natchez Trace; east of Highland Colony Parkway, and west of 1-55; in the City of Ridgeland,
Mississippi. Likewise, for the reasons expressed in the attached five page article, our
United States Attorney, Mr. Gregory K. Davis, might also consider a formal inquiry.
Thank you for your professional courtesies in considering my humble request for
allowance of a public meeting and for hearing on the US Corps of Engineers Application No.

Written by Mac, Colt and Carson Yoder (Ridgeland, Ms.)

Almost 6 years ago, Amy McCullough's article about the Evans Brothers
massive fraud scheme was published in the November issue of the Mississippi
Business Journal. Mississippi Valley Title Insurance Company (MVT) sued
Charles H. Evans Jr. and Jon C. (Chris) Evans, The Evans Firm, and 35 or more
entities that they controlled to further the most extensive mortgage fraud
conspiracy scheme in Mississippi history. The fraud perpetrated on the banks
induced MVT to issue fraudulent title insurance policies.
More than 20 Mississippi banks filed lawsuits against various Evans
entities, and other banks, to perfect and prioritize lien positions on properties
which were the object of the fraud. Some of the property was situated along
Highland Colony Parkway. Whether some of that property is part of the
proposed Costco location near the round-a-bout in Ridgeland has given rise to
spirited debate about ethics and transparency in local government.
On September 2, 2015, at the behest of the Ridgeland mayor, the Board
of Aldermen voted to remove more than 50 citizens from the public meeting
for an "executive session." Alderman Ken Heard explained that no votes would
be taken, but that 'some compromise' might be reached, since the TIF bond
refinancing from the County Line Road Lowe's development is clearly related
to the proposed Costco site development advocated by Andrew Mattaice.
Following the protracted secret meeting a "Mr. Grubbs," from Rankin
County was recognized. Mr. Grubbs explained how, with the help of a bond
lawyer from Butler Snow, almost $2,000,000 in TIF bonds could be refinanced
at a lower interest rate, and at a cost of around $25,000 to taxpayers. Mr.
Grubbs had no idea why the TIF bonds were not paid under the personal
guarantee of Andrew Mattaice, and his defunct LR, LLC. It seemed as if only
the Aldermen and the mayor knew who Mr. Grubbs was, why he was there,
who he represented, or how much money he and Butler Snow will make from
the deal.
Residents of Muirwood and Wendover subdivisions expressed
admiration for Mr. Grubbs' presence, and his courtly, smooth-talking
demeanor, likening him as a modern version of the 'patent medicine' salesman
in The Outlaw Josey Wales.
Another resident asked if Grubbs was related to Cecil McCrory. After
the meeting, Mr. Grubbs was slapping an alderman and the Butler Snow lawyer
on their backs, joking, laughing loudly, and commenting, 'We sure got 'em
tonight!"
Page 1 of 5
896
Steve Maloney, who attended the meeting, asked if the personal

guarantees of Andrew Mattaice for the Lowe's TIF bonds were collateralized
with any security. Ridgeland City Attorney Jerry Mills said Trustmark did not
require collateral for personal guarantees on municipal TIF bond debt. Mr.
Maloney and others at the meeting wondered why Andrew Mattaice would
have voluntarily paid close to $500,000 toward the tax revenue shortfalls on
the Lowe's TIF bond debt if he never had a legal obligation to pay.
Andrew Mattaice could have placed his company LR, LLC in bankruptcy,
or default from day 1, in avoidance of any legal obligation to pay. Instead, the
Ridgeland mayor and his lawyer, Mr. Mills, expect taxpayers to believe
Mattaice acknowledged his private TIF bond debt, and paid $500,000 toward
his personal guarantee. However, the mayor, aldermen, and Mr. Mills also
take an inconsistent position in arguing that Mattaice never owed the money;
that his personal guarantee was meaningless, and that the Board of Aldermen
were within their rights to pay private debt with public taxpayer revenue from
Ridgeland's general fund.
Most people would gladly accept the benefit of cancelled private debt
which a local government offered to pay. Did Andrew Mattaice include the
Ridgeland taxpayer's satisfaction of his personal debt and guarantees related
to the Lowe's TIF bonds on his state and federal income tax returns?
Has Butler Snow ascertained whether conflicted interests may foreclose
their advocacy of the TIF refinancing on behalf of Andrew Mattaice, who
defaulted on his personal guarantee of supplementing the TIF bond shortfalls
until the mayor and Board of Aldermen voted to shift the Mattice bond liability
to Ridgeland taxpayers?
Many Butler Snow clients are adamantly opposed to the Costco
development site location south of the Natchez Trace, between 1-55 and
Highland Colony Parkway. Taxpayers at the public meeting were not advised
whether Butler Snow was retained for bond work, lobbying or other objectives
for Andrew Mattaice, Buster Bailey, and Costco. Taxpayers were not informed
about whether Mr. Grubbs was hired by Gene McGee, or the Madison County
Board of Supervisors.
Bill May questioned the legality of using general fund money to pay for
the Mattaice TIF bond obligations. For several years, Andrew Mattaice paid
almost $500,000 for his development TIF bonds to cover inadequate tax
revenue from the Lowe's development. Despite his personal guarantee, and a
personal guarantee from his Lowe's development, LR, LLC, Andrew Mattaice
reneged, breached, and avoided his financial obligation of paying for any tax
revenue shortfalls.
Page 2 of 5
897
Without payment, those shortfalls would cause a default on payments to

bond holders. Because Ridgeland officials didn't want the City's bond rating to
be destroyed, they voted to shift the personal financial guarantee of Mr.
Mattaice on the TIF bonds to the local taxpayers. Taxpayers are unclear
whether any agreement existed between Mr. Mattaice, Mr. Bailey, or anyone
else to 'settle up' in a subsequent deal---- like the infamous proposed Costco
site by the Natchez Trace.
Jerry Mills, law partner of Madison Municipal Court Judge Dale Danks,
advised that he didn't know if paying for TIF bond debt with general fund tax
revenue was legal. Mills was asked whether the City requested an Attorney
General's opinion, and whether the request for the opinion was subsequently
withdrawn because the opinion didn't tell the mayor and Board of Alderman
what they wanted to hear.
Mr. Mills avoided Mr. May's questions. Like the mayor, Mr. Mills
mumbled mostly incoherent words throughout the entire meeting. Mr. Mills
explained that the mayor and Board of Aldermen don't have time to decide
whether their decisions are legal, because waiting on the Attorney General's
Office to give an opinion might take a few weeks.
So when the Board of Aldermen (induced by the mayor, personal
guarantees of Andrew Mattaice, and Lord only knows what else) voted for
shifting the Mattaice guarantee to the taxpayers for payment of the Lowe's TIF
bond debt through general fund revenues, they did so without any legal
opinion from Jerry Mills, the Ridgeland City attorney, to the mayor or Board of
Aldermen in their official capacities. Mr. Mills simply told them to do as they
pleased- that forgiveness may be granted later, based on an alleged 'mistake,'
or 'misunderstanding,' if it was determined that the Board of Aldermen
illegally misappropriated general tax revenues for a private expense---- a
privately held debt---- privately guaranteed, and paid for several years by
Andrew Mattaice.
On Monday, August 31, 2015, Alderman Ken Heard told the city
attorney, Jerry Mills, that he inquired in August about requested Attorney
General opinion. Heard was advised that the opinion had not been rendered.
However, Heard later learned that Mr. Mills, at the direction of the mayor,
provided false information about the Attorney general opinion. Specifically,
Mr. Heard learned that the AG opinion request had been withdrawn in June of
this year- long before the August inquiry.
Page 3 of 5
898
Mr. Heard continued pressing Mr. Jerry Mills about the withdrawal of
the AG opinion request. Mr. Heard cited the name of the person on record that
made the request for the withdrawal, a partner in Mills' law firm, as well as the
date the withdrawal request was made- June, 2015. Prior to June, no one
believed the AG opinion request was withdrawn. Heard revealed the specifics.
Mr. Mills then remembered the truth. Previously, Mills denied any knowledge
of the AG opinion request being withdrawn. Finally, this past Monday night,
and after repeatedly denying any personal knowledge, Mr. Mills admitted that
Jim Hood personally said that using general tax revenue to pay for private TIF
bond debt was illegal.
Dow Yoder, a former Madison County Assistant District Attorney and
Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, said public officials are routinely investigated,
indicted, and prosecuted for much less in the way of public corruption. A
Ridgeland resident since 1999, Yoder continued, "Private use of public money
is the most common criminal violation of our public trust. Concerning the
Mattaice default on the TIF bonds, the Ridgeland Board of Aldermen can't
legally pay the private debt of Andrew Mattice with public taxpayer funds ---any more than a state employee may lawfully purchase liquor, or tobacco with
a government credit card."
When the television cameras and reporters left, Yoder explained that the
Ridgeland mayor and aldermen had the legal authority to vote, and to make
poor public policy decisions. "Making poor, illogical decisions is not illegal,
but arbitrary and capricious actions may be attacked under constitutional due
process arguments. We have no idea whether any quid pro quos, or agreed
exchanges of consideration, attended any of these unusual decisions. Our
officials may not understand that Jerry Mills does not personally represent
them, and that facts may suggest exposure to criminal and/or civil liability
under Miss. Code Sections 99-7-31 and 99-19-18 for fraud and embezzlement
of public funds. Mayor McGee should read Miss. Code Section 25-4-105, which
addresses prohibited conflicts of interest with public officials in private
business dealings."
Yoder continued, "The Mayor of Terry, Roderick Nicholson, was arrested
in March for five counts of embezzlement of public funds, totaling less than
$3000, for repairs allegedly made on his private vehicle. Why have Ridgeland
officials and others not violated the spirit of the same laws by using taxpayer
funds to pay the private debt of their political crony, Andrew Mattaice?"
Page4 of 5
899
"Did Gene McGee disclose his gift of an $80,000 Cadillac Escalade as

income on his personal income tax returns? Who gave the mayor this $80,000
gift? Andrew Mattaice? Public officials seem to have a free pass on following
the law, for no other reason than political expediency," Yoder said.
"Where is the local District Attorney? The Attorney General? The
deafening silence is only enhanced from the sound of crickets chirping at the
Harbor Walk development, in Ridgeland. Everyone smells rotting flesh in the
woodpile," Yoder commented.
"Electing politicians as prosecutors and judges is bad policy," said Yoder,
continuing, "They insulate their local fiefdoms with politically expedient
decisions. That's their priority. Not fairly and consistently enforcing the law.
Along with strengthening the rights of crime victims, like taxpayers in this
instance, Mississippi needs appointed prosecutors and judges selected by the
Governor, with advice and consent from the Legislature. Transparently good
government, like the enforcement of our criminal laws, should not be
corrupted with politics, and back room, $30,000,000.00, quid pro quo 'deals'."
In an election year, with elected politicians asking for votes, money, and
political support, it's unclear what, if anything, the Attorney General, State
Auditor, or local District Attorney, may do about Ridgeland officials illegally
spending public tax dollars for the defaulted, private debt guarantees of
Andrew Mattaice.
However, the United States Department of Justice, led by United States
Attorney Gregory K. Davis, may inquire whether any federal criminal statutes
were violated between private developers, the Mississippi Development
Authority, and public officials. Mr. Davis may also request an independent
investigation from the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of the
Interior (because the proposed development site adversely impacts the
Natchez Trace, and implicates U.S. Corps of Engineers Application No. TVGMVK-2015-422; the Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1973; the Clean
Water Act; and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
If Mr. Davis believes the law warrants his involvement, he has standing
to take action concerning the proposed Costco development, on behalf of the
United States of America.

RE: Proposed Amendment to Zoning Ordinance
Here is my proposed language. I would like your comments before I send to Santa Claus for review. Although you are
fully aware, it is important for me to mention that this language has not been approved by the Mayor and Board and will
be subject to a public hearing, if they decide to consider it.
Replace the Section 21 "Service Station" Definition with the following language: Service Station: Any area
of land, including the structure thereon, which is used primarily for the retail sale of gasoline, diesel fuel,
ethanol, oil, propane, other fuels, and/or the sale or installation of automobile accessories and may also include
incidental services such as facilities for lubricating, washing (either automatic or by hand), and cleaning, or
otherwise servicing automobiles and light trucks. This term does not include the painting or major repair of
vehicles.
Add to Section 21 Definitions the following definition: Large Master Planned Commercial
Development: Any large commercial development that contains at least one retail/wholesale occupant
exceeding 125,000 square feet of heated and cooled space for the indoor display and sale of goods, a site with a
minimum of 15 acres, access to an Arterial Street, and approved by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen which
may or may not include conditions. Large Master Planned Commercial Developments may include any of the
uses permitted in the underlying Zoning District as well as Service Stations; Banks, branch banks, drive-thru
ATM's, and other banking facilities; Food product and carry-out and delivery stores, laundry and dry cleaning
pickup stations; Fast Food Restaurant with drive-thru; Fast Casual Restaurant with drive-thru; Pharmacy with a
drive-thru; and outdoor display of goods in designated areas approved by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen not
exceeding 15,000 square feet.
This amendment exceeds the singular scope of Santa Claus, and it is designed to address additional uses at multiple
locations and future potential projects.

We recommend that the Mayor and Board of Aldermen approve the

above referenced site/architectural plans contingent upon approval of the
stated variances. The Community Development and Public Works
Departments have reviewed the above referenced site/architectural plans.
The site/architectural plans were reviewed to include but not limited to
the following: land use, open space, ingress, egress, building setbacks,
building area, building height, lot area, parking, drainage, traffic impact,
landscaping, and water and sewer utilities as established in the City of
Ridgeland Development Review Procedures.
The following list represents the requested variances:
1. The Applicant requests a Dimensional Variance for Building
Height to a maximum of Eight Stories for the Hotel, 200
Renaissance, and 300 Renaissance. (Reference Exhibit 'A')
2. The Applicant requests a Variance for Alcohol Service within
close proximity to a School Zone. (Locations Identified on
Exhibit 'B')
3. The Applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to reduce the
Parking Requirements from 3,136 per City of Ridgeland Code to
2,482 spaces. This Permit would reduce the parking
requirements by 654 parking spaces. Based on the ICSC parking
recommendations, the Applicant has declared that the parking
spaces as provided on the site plan are only 19 spaces short of
that recommendation. (Reference Exhibit 'C')

Daniell am going to be out of the office Monday and Tuesday having a medical procedure and will be in
deposition preparing on Wednesday, so I wanted to go ahead and send you information today and get
you more information at the end of the week. First of all right of way acquisition is going very well and in
fact should be completed in 30 to 60 days. Plans are complete for the most part except for a few
changes at the railroad which should be done within a week or two. Financing is complete so that is not
a problem. Some utilities have to be relocated and will be completed as soon as the ROW is finished. I
expect to have the project ready to bid by the end of 2015 or early 2016. As you know the total
construction to completion is 18 months, I expect to cut a ribbon on the road by mid-2017.
As you know the city of Ridgeland is committed to getting this project done and is investing a large
amount of capital to do so. We have a reputation for getting the job done and this case is no different.
Thanks for working with us. We look forward to the completion of our project as well as yours.

Clearly, the completion of this road project is important in our decision making to move forward on this
transaction. Specifically, I am looking for something that resembles a project schedule that lists all of
the major milestones including: financing, completion of engineering plans, acquisition of all rights-ofway, ground-break, various construction milestones and completion date.
Thank you for your help with this, and we look forward to continuing to work with you.

Yes. I will have something to you by the beginning of next week provided Andrew can offer me some specific
parameters of the project, which will assist me in shaping the 'draft' ordinance amendment. Information like use types
and square footages of each would be a good start. I would also ask for any wisdom regarding anything else that would
make this development unique to any other.
We also discussed the importance of making the uses "Permitted Uses".
The quickest schedule can take this shape:
1. May 4th (Work Session)- Present the draft language to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen for consideration to
set a Public Hearing.
2. June znd (Board Meeting)- Conduct Public Hearing; Mayor and Board can consider adoption of the Amendment
3. June 12th- If approved, Last day for an objector to file a Bill of Exceptions
4. July 151 - If approved, Amendment becomes effective.
Andrew should be able to weigh his risk management based on Mayor and Board reaction, public hearing participation,
etc.

Subject: Proposed Amendment of Zoning Code
Andrew Mattiace's company, MHC Land, LLC, is approaching the time that it will sign a contract with the proposed
purchaser of the Santa site on Highland Colony Parkway. The Purchase and Sale Agreement will require that the seller
make representations about the zoning status of the property, including the fact that the property can be used for a
vehicle fueling facility. Since the Santa site is zoned C-2, the seller cannot make that representation without an
exception to explain that the property cannot be used for a vehicle fueling facility. Andrew indicated that the City is
proposing an amendment of the zoning code to resolve that matter. To make the exception in the Purchase and Sale
Agreement acceptable, the seller will need to provide an explanation about the proposed amendment. A copy of the

proposed amendment and a proposed schedule for its adoption would be helpful to keep the proposed transaction
moving. Can you provide a copy of the proposed amendment and information about the proposed schedule?

RE: Driveway
Santa Claus Accessjpg; Santa Claus Access2jpg
Andrew,
2 conceptual options attached. These ideas would have to be engineered by a PE.
We prefer that Santa Claus get a primary-looking full access arrangement to Highland Colony Parkway. We prefer that
the Church access appear secondary so that shoppers don't confuse the entrances and burden the church property with
U-turns in their parking lot. Option #2 would be available after all other options fail to pass the reasonable test. Option
2 is not preferred, but we think it can be Engineered to work.

Please feel free to use either of these plans to re-design and recommend a solution that will work for the church.

Danny,
Attached is a quick concept drawing I prepared to illustrate my point about how the church and Santa Claus can share a
full access point. We met with the Church officials today who seem agreeable to the concept. I discussed this a few
minutes ago with Andrew, and he asked me to send to you to get you to take this concept further by getting the lane
widths and lengths correct and getting the turning radii correct. It appears that the churches access road is about 26
feet wide. I have attached an aerial and the CAD file that you can use in your AutoCAD drawing. As usual, time is of the
essence. We have to reach an agreement with the church by Friday.

I think all you need to focus on is the overall. This project can have multiple ownership arrangements and still be
approved as a Large Scale Master Planned Development, which will have shared parking. I see no reason to separate it
into north and south. Of additional consideration is the fact that if Santa Claus does not come or goes away at some
point, their paved parking area would yield many more parking spaces if striped at 9 feet wide.

Santa Claus traffic demands
Andrew,
I'm working on a host of good points about the Santa Claus project and need some information about traffic. If you
could get me some average daily traffic demands for the Santa Clause store, I think we could reasonably estimate the
traffic demands for the remaining square footage for the entire development. Unfortunately, I need this information
ASAP.
Thanks in advance!

Delivery trucks to Santa- 4-6 per day between the hours of 4-6AM. One fuel center truck per day.

Importance:

Daniell am going to be out of the office Monday and Tuesday having a medical procedure and will be in deposition
preparing on Wednesday, so I wanted to go ahead and send you information today and get you more information at the
end of the week. First of all right of way acquisition is going very well and in fact should be completed in 30 to 60 days.
Plans are complete for the most part except for a few changes at the railroad which should be done within a week or
two. Financing is complete so that is not a problem. Some utilities have to be relocated and will be completed as soon as
the ROW is finished. I expect to have the project ready to bid by the end of 2015 or early 2016. As you know the total
construction to completion is 18 months, I expect to cut a ribbon on the road by mid-2017.
As you know the city of Ridgeland is committed to getting this project done and is investing a large amount of capital to
do so. We have a reputation for getting the job done and this case is no different.
Thanks for working with us. We look forward to the completion of our project as well as yours.

Re: Renaissance at Colony Park III
Flood Detention Calculations
Dear Sir:
Enclosed are the flood detention calculations for the above referenced project. The total
site consists of about 45.8 acres. The Renaissance Phase Ill Project is about 36.4 acres
plus about 9.4 acres along Purple Creek that will be developed to provide detention
storage. The proposed storage will be provided by developing a detention basin along
Purple Creek on the land purchased by the City of Ridgeland for this express purpose as
pati of the overall tlood control plan for Purple Creek. The attached calculations show
that the proposed development would require about 9.5 acre-feet of flood detention
storage for the 50-year event and about 10.0 acre-feet for the 100-year event.
The proposal is to provide about 54.5 acre-feet of storage by developing a detention basin
on the 9.4 acres along Purple Creek. The City requires that existing channel storage
below the 100-year event be deducted from the total detention. The existing channel
storage is estimated to be about 6.6 acre-feet. This leaves a net increase of about 47.9
acre-feet of storage. This area is connected to the existing City detention basin on Purple
Creek in Freedom Ridge Park and will increase the total storage available.
Therefore, the proposed detention \:vill meet all of the City of Ridgeland requirements for
flood detention storage. Ifyou need additional information please call us.
Sincerely _yours,
/r

Confidential Memorandum
To: Mayor McGee
From: Jerry L. Mills
Re: TIF Payments
2/27/15
As a result of Alderman Heard and Alderman Smith raising a question regarding Senate Bill 2550 related
to TIF bonds I have examined the matter. My examination reflects that the purpose of the proposed bill
was to remove the current restriction on public entities "obligating" themselves to TIF debt. It is
important to note that TIF bonds are not general obligation bonds. Unlike a GO the full faith and credit
of a municipality is not pledged. With a GO the city is required to place a sufficient tax levy to repay a
debt. Though it appears that a City can legally pay shortfalls on a TIF bond it is not bound to do so. A
city does not become obligated to repay. Thus a general obligation is avoided.
As a matter of interest we have discussed the matter with Senator Fillingane and are advised his bill was
requested by a bank for the purpose of giving it additional security. The banks would love to have a
pledge of the full faith and credit of a city.
By making up the shortfall in the manner in which we are doing we avoid using a portion of GO capacity.
Perhaps more importantly we prevent a default which could have disastrous impact on our double A
credit rating.
I have asked Demery to address the impact of failure to avoid a default. You should be receiving his
memo.
1053
Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
TIF Plans do not require or mandate a city to pay the shortfall of revenues from a TIF District for the TIF
Bond Payment.
Cities cannot guarantee that they will pay any shortfall of TIF revenues from a TIF District to cover a TIF
Bond Payment. If a City guarantees a debt it would become a general obligation debt and secured by the
full faith and credit ofthe City.
TIF Bonds are issued in the name of a City which makes it a debt obligation of the City. Failure to pay a
debt obligation is deemed to be a default on behalf of the City.
Failure to pay a debt obligation is a negative factor in a bond rating and could impact a bond rating.
Failure to pay a debt obligation could cause legal action by bond holders, underwriters or banks.
Failure could require extending the maturity of the TIF Bonds until it is paid off.
Cities are required to pay their debt obligations. If there is a shortfall of revenues to pay a TIF debt service
payment and the City has other revenues available to pay the shortfall, they may do so as long as it does not
negatively impact the operations of the City or any other debt obligations. Again, it is not required or
mandated to pay any shortfall ofthe TIF District, but if paid when funds are available it reflects the strength
of the City to pay their debt obligations. This helps maintain their credit worthiness and bond rating, retires
the TIF debt as scheduled, and the City starts receiving revenues from the TIF District.

Project included a Lowe's Super Home Improvement Center+ 21,000 sq. ft. of retail shops and
two out parcels for restaurants.
Project included purchasing and removing numerous tin buildings and warehouses that were in a
poor state of repair and was a blighted area of the City.
If the City had to purchase the building and revitalize this TIF District area, the City would have
had to bear all the cost which would have been well over $5,000,000 and would have taken much
longer.

RE:
City of Ridgeland, Mississippi TIF Bonds
Dear General Hood:
As attorney for the City of Ridgeland, Mississippi, I have been directed to seek your
opinion on the following. The City of Ridgeland presently maintains one of the highest bond
ratings of any municipality in the state (Aa2). The City recently issued TIF bonds that has
enabled redevelopment of significant properties along County Line Road. It appears that the
avails of the increment will not be sufficient to meet the debt service on the outstanding bonds.
The City is aware that it may not obligate itself under the provisions of 21-45-13 for the
repayment of said debt. Our financial adviser has indicated that a default on the TIF bonds
would have disastrous impact on the City's bond rating, resulting in substantial costs to the City
in the future.
Under these circumstances, may to City make up the difference between the amount the
avails of the property pledged to support the bonds by an unguaranteed annual appropriation to
cover the deficiency and thus avoid default? (Much like the annual appropriations to make lease
payments")
Very truly yours,
,,., . /'""'<iY\...----.

at Ridgeland in reference to an unresponsive male who had fallen. Upon Officer Boyd's arrival, she
found that the male was still unresponsive. Officer Boyd, who is also a certified paramedic, immediately
began CPR and continued CPR for approximately five minutes until the Ridgeland Fire Department
personnel arrived on scene. At this time a fire paramedic continued while Officer Boyd intubated the
unresponsive male and provided additional life-saving medical attention. The unresponsive male became
responsive and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. Due to Officer Boyd's initiative, quick
thinking, and emergency medical experience, she saved the life of another human being who had fallen

I obviously did not compare the referenced document to the master plan of the City for

I thank you again for allowing our firm to assist the City in connection with this project.

1890 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment provided, inter alia, that the assessment ratio of any one class
of property shall not be more than three times the assessment on any other class of property.
The Amendment set forth five classes of property and the assessment ratios, which would be applicable
thereto upon the adoption of the Amendment. The assessment ratios set forth in the Amendment are
identical to those established by Section 27-35-4, Mississippi Code of 1972, as it existed prior to the
Amendment, except that the assessment ratio for single-f~mi1y, owner-occupied residential real property
.under the Amendment is set at 10 percent of true value as opposed to 15 percent of true value under
previously existing law.

ARTICLE II
. THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ACT
Tax Increment Financing is a legal, constitutionally accepted financing mechanism to accomplish

DEVELOPMENT and REDEVELOPMENT of municipalities and counties throughout the
State of Mississippi. The Tax Increment Financing Act was adopted by the Mississippi
Legislature in 1986 and can be found at Sections 21-45-1 et seq., in the Mississippi Code of 1972,
as amended. (Attached as Exhibit I)
Over thirty (30) states have adopted Tax Increment Financing Laws ("TIF"), the first of which
was adopted in 1969.
TIF is a tool that can be used to induce or encourage major economic development in Mississippi
cities and counties. A city and county can undertake joint TIF projects.
Cities everywhere have used the Economic Development Administration, Community

Development Block Grants, Special Assessments, and Industrial Revenue Bond programs to
encourage economic development. TIF is one more method that should be used.
The City will use TIF to expand and complement aggressive economic development policies .
The program is a local program that can be accessed and used through the City's own initiative.
Federal and state governmental approvals are not required.
Tax Increment Bonds, notes, or other debt obligations are issued by the city to construct
improvements that will induce development activity, and the city pledges all or part of the ad
valorem taxes generated on assessment of the real and/or personal property constituting the
project to retire the bonds. The city may elect to pledge increases in retail sales tax rebates
generated by the projects to service TIF bonds.
In most cases, Tax Increment Financing is used to construct public infrastructure improvements
(i.e., roads, utilities, drainage, parking, etc.) even though it can be used for other purposes.
Bonds are issued by the city to construct the improvements, and increased ad valorem taxes
generated on assessment of the real and/or personal property constituting the project can be used
to retire the bonds. The city may elect to pledge sales tax rebate increases generated by the
project to service TIF debt.
School taxes will not be used to retire the bonds. The schools can use those funds in their normal
operations.
There is no financial obligation on the part of the city if Tax Increment Financing Revenue Bonds
are issued other thi:m the pledge of the ad valorem tax revenues on real and personal property
and/or sales tax rebates if applicable. The law emphatically states that the TIF bonds are secured
solely by increased ad valorem tax revenues and are not general obligations secured by the full
faith, credit, and taxing power of the city.

I
PRINCIPLE: The rezoning of a residential area usually for commercial or office uses on
a continuous basis is called "commercial creep." This process starts with
the rezoning of a single lot from residential to commercial. The next door
neighbor finds that either he doesn't like living next to a commercial
property or that his property loses value as residential property.
Consequently, he obtains a rezoning for his property. This process repeats
itself and commercial uses creep down the street one by one
becomes easier each time because it can be
changing. This process not only disrup~s
also introduces blighting influences

PLANNING
PRINCIPLE: As described by zoning authority Fred Bair in Planning Cities, "strip
commercial describes only (commercial) development along the frontages
of a single street, and does not include areas of concentrated business
development such as shopping centers and central business." As business
developments spread out from the business district to areas located along
arterial streets in strips that require frequent curb-cuts, and
leftturn movements on the street, traffic congestion
hazards will occur.

not helpful in development review because highest and best uses
