(Addition) CONSIDER A RESOLUTION SETTING PUBLIC HEARING to
consider A PROPOSAL for a fourth amendment TO A PURCHASE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF IOWA CITY AND wal-mart real estate
business trust FOR APPROXIMATELY 21.76 ACRES OF PROPERTY LYING
WITHIN LOTS 10 THROUGH 17 OF NORTH AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT
SUBDIVISION AND LOTS 2, THROUGH 4 OF THE NORTH AIRPORT
DEVELOPMENT SUBDIVISION - PART TWO
COMMENT: The purchase agreement with 'v'v'ClI-MarlRtjetl E:;lalt::: Busilltj:;:; T,u"l,
as previously amended, provides for closing to occur no later July 31, 2006, unless a later
date is mutually agreed to in writing by the City and Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart Real Estate
Business Trust is now requesting a fourth amendment to the purchase agreement, as set
forth in the attached letter from their attorney. While the request is structured as a 30-day
extension of "closing," given the proposal to escrow the entire purchase price for up to 2
years thereafter, and the many contingencies to be satisfied during that time period, Wal-
Mart's request is the equivalent of a 2 year extension of the closing date. Wal-Mart
proposes to pay 5% of the purchase price (approximately $155,000) per year if they do not
"close" at the end of the 2 year escrow period. ,f M 'I
