For purposes of this Resolution, the term “Consistent Rate Leases” shall mean existing Possum Kingdom residential leases that contain a ten (10) year extension period (“Extension Period”) with no rental rate adjustments during such Extension Period; and
The annual rate for such Consistent Rate Leases shall be the greater of (i) the Assessed or Appraised Value, as applicable, multiplied by the average of the above referenced percentages for the two applicable five-year periods, or (ii) the most recent rental rate paid under the lease, but not less than the average of the minimum annual rental amounts for the same five-year periods;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Directors directs Staff to develop and propose a new appraisal determination procedure (herein called the “Appraisal Procedure”), which Appraisal Procedure will set forth certain guidelines for the appraisal process, including outlining the rights of residential lessees to participate in the appraisal process; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Directors directs Staff to contact those lessees which have executed the 50-year leases and offer them the option to either (a) continue with their executed 50-year lease and annual rental rates based on Assessed Value, or (b) execute a new lease on the new lease form with a 20 year term and 10 year extension and with the new Residential Lease Rate Methodology as adopted herein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Directors expressly removes any maximum rental rate previously adopted, if any, effective January 1, 2008.”
The aforementioned resolution was approved by the Board of Directors of the Brazos River Authority on July 30, 2007, to certify which witness my hand and seal.
