SUBJECT: Feasibility Analysis for UWM Engineering Campus Project TID

The City is in the process of establishing a Tax Increment Financing District for financing of a portion of the public
improvements related to development of a proposed UWM Engineering Campus within the City of Wauwatosa. The
City requested that Springsted provide an economic feasibility study to determine if the projected revenues generated
from the District as a result of the proposed development can finance the costs associated with the implementation of
the Project Plan.

The tax increment revenue projections are based on the potential development of certain buildings and/or sites to
accommodate future land uses. The development projections are based on information provided by the UW
Foundation (proposed developer) along with an understanding of the general market conditions and feasibility within
the area. Any changes in the type or size of buildings in the proposed site plan would result in expected increases
and/or decreases in projected revenues.

The land is currently owned by the County and therefore tax-exempt. Following the sale to the University, the
assumption is that the land will become taxable. The estimated value based on the assumed sale price is
$13,550,000. The City anticipates that the Accelerator building will be constructed first within the research park that
will create incremental new value of approximately $3.0 million.

With the exception of the academic buildings and accelerator, projected development of the Research Park is still in
preliminary stages. Future projections are based on a site plan of the Park which includes the following:
• Office/research,
• Residential (rental and owner-occupied)
• Retail

The site plan includes approximately 400,000 square feet of academic buildings, 190 units of residential housing,
475,000 square feet of office/research buildings. Total estimated square footage of the site is approximately 988,000.
Our estimates of incremental new value on the campus are based on the provided square footages and business
types. Using that information, we estimate that the incremental new value will be approximately $101.6 million upon
full build-out of the site. The incremental value estimates will be refined as additional information on projected future
build-outs becomes available.

The objective of the District creation is to facilitate the development of a new campus. With the expanded campus, it
is anticipated that office/research will locate within the District creating additional demand for new housing and
supporting retail. The new development is anticipated to create a total of $101.6 million in incremental value. The
economic feasibility projections are based on the utilization of approximately 27 years of the allowed tax increment
collection period, which is the maximum for blighted TIDs.

The economic feasibility analysis should be considered as a baseline projection that is annually monitored to ensure
projected targets are met. The purpose of the annual monitoring is to determine that total incremental value has
been achieved rather than whether a specific identified project created those increments. Future public borrowing
and/or expenditures should be based on this annual review process. It is the intent of this Project Plan to maximize
the potential of Tax Incremental Financing District Number 6 to accomplish the proposed public improvements
identified in the Project Plan.

Table I summarize the development assumptions that have been used in the economic feasibility analysis. These
projections have been prepared based on information received from the UWM Foundation and City staff. The
projections in Table I include assumptions on square footage and business type for future developments that have
been proposed in the preliminary site plan. Assumptions of the taxable value by type of use are based on a review of
comparable real estate values.

The incremental new value projections included in Table I are not total construction cost estimates, but are factored
to equate to the anticipated equalized value to which an annual mill rate will be applied. The actual construction
costs may be higher than projected value because construction costs may include soft costs not necessarily
assessed by the City. Real estate valuation can also significantly fluctuate from year to year. For that reason, there
City of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

should be an annual review and evaluation of the stability of the increment value prior to making annual borrowing
and/or spending decisions.

The economic feasibility analysis for Tax Incremental District Number 6 is presented in Tables III and IV included
below. Table II shows the projected tax increments from the District based on the development assumptions made in
Table I. The projections assume the total incremental new value will be $101.6 million by 2037.

Table III shows the preliminary debt service schedules for financing of the proposed public improvement costs in the
amount of approximately $12.0 million. The City anticipates financing the proposed project costs through a bond
issuance. Table III indicates on a preliminary basis that projected tax increments are expected to be sufficient to
support the debt service through the maximum term of the district.

The retirement of the District, taking into consideration the assumptions identified for the Proposed Project Costs,
Public Works & Improvements) and Table I (Projected Development Assumptions), is based on the property tax
collection that was in place at the time the Public Hearing will be held on August 9, 2010.

The future development assumptions have been based on a review of market conditions that existed in 2010 and
potential future development. It is expected and recommended that the City annually review the financial condition of
Tax Incremental District Number 6. The economic feasibility analysis indicates that the District is feasible, provided
the development assumptions have been achieved. The City should not spend at levels projected in Tables II and III
without a "risk assessment" that defines the maximum financial exposure the City finds acceptable or without

developer agreements that guarantee repayment of expenditures. The City should analyze the fiscal condition of Tax
Incremental Financing District Number 6 on the basis of how well the development assumptions are being met.
Decisions to continue spending annually should be based on the status of the district.

Tax Increment Assumptions

Springsted made certain assumptions to calculate the estimated amount of tax incremental revenues generated by
the proposed project.

• Estimated valuation of the proposed buildings (not land) is $88,063,750


o Accelerator: $3,000,000
o Residential: $16,150,000
o Research/office: $54,506,250
o Retail: $14,407,500
• Construction schedule 20 years commencing 2012
• Land currently tax-exempt
• Estimated valuation of land when taxable: $13,550,000
o 58 acres, including Eschweiler parcel
• Total base value estimate of $0 (tax-exempt County-owned property)
• Creation Resolution approved before 9/30/10, allowing base value to be established as of 1/2/10
• Pay 2010 equalized tax rate of 21.00, no change throughout term of TID
• $0 value increment from personal property
• New value inflates 0% annually
• Blight TID, 27 year maximum term

The attached debt service schedules show the annual payments to support $12.0M of project costs. We have
structured the debt to be a 3-year Bond Anticipation Note followed by permanent financing with a 17-year General
Obligation Corporate Purpose Bond. Other assumptions used in the analysis are as follows:

• TIF Bond Anticipation Notes


o 3-year period
o Capitalized interest of $391,094
o Costs of Issuance and Underwriters Discount of $122,575
o Estimate of current General Obligation tax exempt interest rates for Wauwatosa
• GO Corporate Purpose Bonds
o 17-year period
o 100% of tax increment generated in year 1 is available to service debt in year 2, continuing through
the term of the bonds
o Cost of issuance and underwriter’s discount funded from the par amount of bonds
