If DEVELOPER has paid any TIF fees prior to the date the credit is
increased, DEVELOPER will pay to CITY the difference between the TIF fees
. previously paid and the amount that DEVELOPER would have paid if the revised

TIF fees had been in effect at the time of payment.
The following example illustrates the provisions of the preceding
paragraphs. Assume that COUNTY dedicated land for Dublin Boulevard (a Section
1 improvement) on May I, 1999 and that the amount of credit COUNTY received
,,'as $2,000,000, which amount was based on the land value included in the TIF as of
May 1, 1999. Assume further than on May 15, 1999, the City Council amends the
TIF, to be effective on July 15, 1999, to increase land values. Assume funher that
the land value for the dedicated land in the revised TIF is $3,000,000. On Julv 15,
"'
1999, CITY will increase the amount of credits for COUNTY from $2,000,000 to
$3,000,000. In this example, DEVELOPER pulled a building penllit on May 5,
1999 for a 10,000 - square foot building and had paid Section I TIF fees in the total
amount of $300,000 ($300 per 1,000 square feet). If the Section 1 TIF fee is
increased to $400 per 1,000 square feet effective July 15, 1999, DEVELOPER will
owe CITY an additional $100,000 on July 15.
