A RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE AND THANK DR. T. STEEN TRAWICK

FOR HIS LEADERSHIP AS CEO OF CHRISTUS SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER
HEALTH SYSTEM AND STAFF FOR THEIR COMMITMENT AND
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER COMMUNITIES, AND
TO OTHERWISE PROVIDE WITH RESPECT THERETO
BY: COUNCILMAN JAMES E. GREEN
WHEREAS, CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System has a proud history of providing

health care in northwest Louisiana for over 125 years. A faith-based, not-for-profit health system,
CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier is part of CHRISTUS Health, sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of the
Incarnate Word in Houston and San Antonio and the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth. CHRISTUS
is among the 10 largest Catholic health systems in the country and one of the 20 largest of all health
systems in the nation; and
WHEREAS, Dr. T. Steen Trawick has been associated with CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier
Health System since 2005, when he joined CHRISTUS as a Pediatric Hospitalist, he has overseen the
hospitalists and Emergency and Intensive Medicine programs across 14 hospitals with oversight of over
347 physicians and advance practice providers; and
WHEREAS, with Dr. Trawick’s experience in regulatory preparedness, credentials committee

issues, health care compliance oversight, unique business experience and after years of working on the
medical staff and providing care in the hospital, in a physician leadership role, he was named CEO of
CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System in 2019; and
WHEREAS, with approximately 1300 associates, over 600 affiliated providers and 200
volunteers, CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier is committed to their mission of extending the healing
ministry of Jesus Christ and improving health in this community; and
WHEREAS, CHRISTUS operates three hospitals in the region including CHRISTUS Highland
Medical Center, CHRISTUS Bossier Emergency Hospital, and CHRISTUS Coushatta Health Care
Center, and is also the region’s Children’s Miracle Network Hospital (CMN), serving the children of our
region, from birth to 18 years, with wide-ranging health and wellness programs designed to promote a
healthier community; and
WHEREAS, inspired by their mission, vision and core values to deliver compassionate, high
quality health care, improving the health of this community, CHRISTUS continues a long, proud tradition
of providing the latest state-of-the-art technology combined with the best possible hands-on care in areas
of specialty including cardiovascular care, oncology, orthopedic and neurological services, primary care,
surgical, and women's and children's services; and
WHEREAS, CHRISTUS is proud to have cared for the first COVID-19 positive inpatient in
north Louisiana, who presented to the facility with no warning, which demanded rapid process adaptation
and the setup of an incident command center. Ongoingly, with information and understanding of COVID-
19 changing by the hour, CHRISTUS continues with relentless real-time adjustments and resource
assessment - PPE, pharmaceuticals, clinical supplies, and staffing. The need for communication, inside
the organization and outside of the organization, has been unceasing as CHRISTUS works to reassure the
community and organize the continuous flow of information from regulatory agencies and news media;
and
WHEREAS, during this national health crisis, hospitals are doing everything possible to care for
patients and the community at large. COVID-19 response involves every person in the organization to
meet the needs that this pandemic has created – physicians, nurses and the entire health care team,
including food services, environmental services, administrative, EMS, spiritual care and support staff; and
WHEREAS, for these health care workers, COVID-19 presents unique mental health stress
points, such as putting their families and colleagues at risk for exposure to the virus, making difficult
decisions about how to conserve supplies and prioritize treatment, working extended shift hours and
confronting an unimaginable death toll. Under these conditions, healthcare workers are experiencing
dramatically increased anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout and other mental health issues; and
WHEREAS, CHRISTUS has cared for over 1,000 COVID-19 positive inpatients, with hospital
inpatient and emergency room census sustaining unprecedented levels, equating to 25% above the highest
norm. CHRISTUS has performed over 52,000 COVID tests, provided over 400 monoclonal antibody
therapies, administered over 5,300 vaccines to staff and providers, and is partnering with David Raines
Community Centers and LSU Health Science Center Shreveport by providing over 13,000 vaccines in a
collaborative effort for community vaccine clinics; and
WHEREAS, in the midst of pandemic response, CHRISTUS continued operations despite

additional landmark events of Hurricanes Laura and Delta and Winter Storm 2021. And in an ongoing
commitment to keep up with the needs of the community, opened a new Emergency Room, double in
size, and added 15 inpatient beds; and
WHEREAS, all of these things together, create unprecedented levels of stress and anxiety within
the walls of a hospital. In acknowledgement of the ever-changing world of health care, the daily efforts of
the CHRISTUS Associates, and the CHRISTUS commitment to expanding access to high-quality health
care in Northwest Louisiana, and the unique calling of CHRISTUS into ministry for our community
which is rooted in their mission to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Shreveport in

due, legal and regular session convened that the Shreveport City Council recognize and thank Dr. T.
Steen Trawick for his leadership as CEO of CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System and staff for

thereof is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions, items or applications of this
resolution which can be given effect without the invalid provisions, items or application, and to this end,
the provisions of this resolution are hereby declared severable.

prevalence of sexual assault and educates individuals and communities about how to prevent it;

one in four girls and one in six boys will experience sexual abuse before the age 18; and

opportunity for each of us to work together to ensure that our online communities are safe and
respectful for everyone now and into the future.

SPONSOR
Fuller
PURPOSE
To accept an Eighty-one thousand dollar ($81,000) monetary donation from the Shreveport Opera for the
purpose of upgrading the floor seating at RiverView Theater.
In January of the 2021, the City accepted a donation from the Shreveport Opera to allow them to make
improvement and upgrades to RiverView Theater that would replace the chairs on the floor level of the facility
and donate those to the City. Since then, the Opera, its Board of Directors and Attorneys feel uncomfortable
with them performing the work and now wish to donate the funds to the City. The Shreveport Opera, is one of
four artistic groups (Shreveport Symphony, Theater of the Performing Arts, Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet) that
makes RiverView Theater their home venue. All of these organizations desire the renovations and upgrades
which will widen the size of many seats and will also provide additional room between the rows. This change will
make the seats on the floor level more comfortable and the experience in the theater better for patrons of the
theater. Each artistic group has reviewed the plans and provided written communication that they are in favor of
the change in the seating configuration.
The acceptance of this donation will require a subsequent budget amendment ordinance.

"Prepayment Date") following the Notice Period the total of the following (the "Prepayment Amount"): (a) all accrued Rent
Payments, interest, taxes, late charges and other amounts then due and payable under the Lease; plus (b) the remaining principal
balance payable by Lessee under the Schedule as of said Prepayment Date.

Lease (required amount of casualty loss insurance) and Subsection 20(c) of the Master Lease (post-default remedies of Lessor)
and said Termination Value column does not negate the restrictions on purchase options or voluntary prepayment in paragraphs 1

this Addendum and the Master Lease as it relates to the Schedule. Except as expressly amended or supplemented by this

LOUISIANA LEASE SCHEDULE ADDENDUM
(Local Government)
Dated: MARCH 30, 2021
Reference is made to the above Lease Schedule ("Schedule") and to the Master Lease-Purchase Agreement ("Master Lease")
identified in the Schedule, which are by and between JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. ("Lessor") and the above lessee
("Lessee"). As used herein: "Lease" shall mean the Schedule and the Master Lease, but only to the extent that the Master Lease relates
to the Schedule. This Schedule Addendum amends and supplements the terms and conditions of the Lease. Unless otherwise defined
herein, capitalized terms defined in the Lease shall have the same meaning when used herein. Solely for purposes of the Schedule,
Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:
NOW THEREFORE, solely for purposes of the Lease, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows:
1. TERMINATION FOR GOVERNMENTAL NON-APPROPRIATIONS AMENDMENTS. Section 6 of the Master Lease is

deleted and replaced with the following:
6. TERMINATION FOR GOVERNMENTAL NON-APPROPRIATIONS.
6.1 For each Lease, Lessee represents and warrants: that it has appropriated and budgeted the necessary funds to make all
Rent Payments required pursuant to such Lease for the remainder of the fiscal year in which the Lease Term commences.
Lessee directs the person in charge of its budget requests to include the Rent Payments payable during each fiscal year in
the budget request presented to Lessee’s governing body for such fiscal year; provided, that Lessee’s governing body
retains authority to approve or reject any such budget request. All Rent Payments shall be payable out funds legally
appropriated therefore. Lessor agrees that no Lease will be a general obligation of Lessee and no Lease shall constitute a
pledge of either the full faith and credit of Lessee or the taxing power of Lessee.
6.2 If Lessee's governing body fails to appropriate sufficient funds in any fiscal year for Rent Payments or other payments
due under a Lease and if other funds are not legally appropriated for such payments, then a "Non-Appropriation Event"
shall be deemed to have occurred. If a Non-Appropriation Event occurs, then: (a) Lessee shall give Lessor immediate
notice of such Non-Appropriation Event and provide written evidence of such failure by Lessee's governing body; (b) on
the Return Date, Lessee shall transfer to Lessor all, but not less than all, of the Equipment covered by the affected Lease,
at Lessee's sole expense, in accordance with Section 21 hereof; and (c) the affected Lease shall terminate on the Return
Date without penalty to Lessee, provided, that Lessee shall pay all Rent Payments and other amounts payable under the
affected Lease for which funds shall have been appropriated. "Return Date" means the last day of the fiscal year for
which appropriations were made for the Rent Payments due under a Lease.
2. TITLE; SECURITY INTEREST AMENDMENTS. Section 8 of the Master Lease is deleted and replaced with the following:
8. TITLE.
8.1 Upon Lessee's acceptance of any Equipment under a Lease, title to the Equipment shall vest in Lessee, subject to
Lessor's rights under such Lease including, without limitation, Lessor’s rights under Sections 6, 20 and 21 hereof.
8.2 Lessee agrees to execute and to deliver to Lessor upon request financing statements that comply with La. R.S. 10-9:101
et seq. (the "UCC"). Lessor may file or record such financing statements with respect to each Lease so as to give notice
to any interested parties. However, it is specifically understood that such filing is for notice purposes only and that the
UCC does not apply to any Lease and that no Lease grants Lessor any security interest or other lien rights in and to any
of the Equipment.
3. RISK OF LOSS AMENDMENTS. Subsection 13.3 of the Master Lease is deleted and replaced with the following:
13.3 If Lessor determines that any item of Equipment has suffered a Casualty Loss beyond repair ("Lost Equipment"), then
Lessee shall use the proceeds of any insurance recovery to either: (a) immediately replace the Lost Equipment with
similar equipment in good repair, condition and working order free and clear of any Liens, in which event such
replacement equipment shall automatically be Equipment under the applicable Lease, and deliver to Lessor true and
Page 1 of 3
160511-V6
complete copies of the invoice or bill of sale covering the replacement equipment; or (b) on earlier of 60 days after the
Casualty Loss or the next scheduled Rent Payment date, pay Lessor (i) all amounts owed by Lessee under the applicable
Lease, including the Rent Payments due on or accrued through such date plus (ii) an amount equal to the Termination
Value as of the Rent Payment date (or if the Casualty Loss payment is due between Rent Payment Dates, then as of the
Rent Payment Date preceding the date that the Casualty Loss payment is due) set forth in the Payment Schedule to the
applicable Lease. If Lessee is making such payment with respect to less than all of the Equipment under a Lease, then
Lessor will provide Lessee with the pro rata amount of the Rent Payment to be paid by Lessee with respect to the Lost
Equipment and a revised Payment Schedule. If the insurance proceeds are insufficient to pay the costs of such
replacement or to pay the amount owed by Lessee as set forth in (b) above, Lessee shall, at Lessor’s direction, either pay
the costs of the replacement of the Equipment or pay the remainder of the amounts owed by Lessee as set forth in (b)
above, in excess of the amount of the insurance proceeds, but only from legally appropriated funds.
4. PURCHASE OPTION AMENDMENTS. Section 15 of the Master Lease is deleted and replaced with the following:
15. PURCHASE OPTION. Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice by Lessee to Lessor, and so long as there is no Event of
Default then existing, Lessee shall have the option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Equipment covered by a Lease
on any Rent Payment due date by paying to Lessor all Rent Payments then due (including accrued interest, if any) plus the
Termination Value amount set forth on the Payment Schedule to the applicable Lease for such date. Upon satisfaction by
Lessee of such purchase conditions, Lessor shall release all of its rights in such Equipment created hereunder and Lessee
shall retain its title to such Equipment "AS-IS, WHERE-IS", without representation or warranty by Lessor, express or
implied, except for a representation that such Equipment is free and clear of any Liens created by Lessor and all rights of
Lessor hereunder.
5. ASSIGNMENT AMENDMENTS. Subsection 18.3 of the Master Lease is deleted and replaced with the following:
18.3 Each Assignee of a Lease hereby agrees that: (a) said Assignee shall have no claim to, nor any interest of any kind in,
any Non-Assigned Lease or any Equipment covered by any Non-Assigned Lease; and (b) Assignee shall exercise its
rights, benefits and remedies as the assignee of Lessor (including, without limitation, the remedies under Section 20 of
the Master Lease) solely with respect to the Assigned Leases. "Assigned Leases" means only those Leases which have
been assigned to a single Assignee pursuant to a written agreement; and "Non-Assigned Leases" means all Leases
excluding the Assigned Leases.
6. REMEDIES AMENDMENTS. Subsections 20(b) and 20(f) of the Master Lease are deleted and replaced with the following:
(b) Lessor may require Lessee to promptly transfer all Equipment to Lessor in the manner set forth in Section 21 (and Lessee
agrees that it shall so transfer the Equipment), and Lessee agrees to permit Lessor or its agents to enter the premises where
the Equipment is located to obtain possession of the Equipment;
(f) Lessor may require Lessee to pay (and Lessee agrees that it shall pay) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
Lessor as a result (directly or indirectly) of the Event of Default and/or of Lessor's actions under this section, including,
without limitation, any attorney fees and expenses and any costs related to the repossession, safekeeping, storage, repair,
reconditioning or disposition of any Equipment, but only from legally appropriated funds.
7. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT AMENDMENTS. Section 21 of the Master Lease is deleted and replaced with the following:
21. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. If Lessor is entitled under the provisions of any Lease, including any termination thereof
pursuant to Sections 6 or 20 of this Master Lease, to the transfer of any of the Equipment from Lessee, then Lessee shall, at
its sole expense and risk, immediately de-install, disassemble, pack, crate, insure and transfer the Equipment to Lessor (all in
accordance with applicable industry standards) at any location in the continental United States selected by Lessor. Such
Equipment shall be in the same condition as when received by Lessee (reasonable wear, tear and depreciation resulting from
normal and proper use excepted), shall be in good operating order and maintenance as required by the applicable Lease, shall
be free and clear of any Liens and shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver
to Lessor all documents reasonably requested by Lessor to evidence the transfer of legal and beneficial title to such
Equipment to Lessor and to evidence the termination of Lessee's interest in such Equipment.
8. SEVERABILITY ADDITION. Section 28 is hereby added to the Master Lease as follows:
28. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of any Lease is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of such Lease, which shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
Page 2 of 3
160511-V6
Lessor’s right to the return of the Equipment under Paragraph 21 hereof in the event there occurs an Event of Nonappropriation
hereunder is not intended as a penalty clause but rather Lessee hereby acknowledges that the provisions of Paragraph 21 hereof
were negotiated and agreed to by Lessor and Lessee in consideration for Lessee’s unilateral right hereunder to terminate any
Lease by not appropriating funds necessary to make Payments thereunder for any succeeding fiscal year. Lessee hereby
acknowledges that the Payments made by Lessee during each fiscal year under each Lease are reasonably proportionate to the
value being received in return by Lessee under such Lease, including the value of Lessee’s possession of such Equipment during
such fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction renders a final judgment which
is not appealed to the effect that any of the provisions of any Lease constitute a penalty or are otherwise unenforceable under
applicable law, the parties hereby agree that such Lease shall automatically be amended so as to delete or modify those provisions
in such Lease so deemed to constitute a penalty pursuant to such judgment to the extent necessary make such provisions not
constitute a penalty or not otherwise be deemed to be unenforceable and such provision, as modified, and the other provisions of
under each Lease shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
9. TERMS. Throughout the Master Lease, the term personal property shall mean movable property as defined in Louisiana law and
the term real property shall mean immovable property as defined under Louisiana law.
Except as expressly amended or supplemented by this Addendum and other instruments signed by Lessor and Lessee, the Lease
remains unchanged and in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Addendum as of the date first written above.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

(To Be Typed on Attorney’s Letterhead Stationery)
Date: MARCH 30, 2021
Lessor: JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.
Re: Lease Schedule No. 1000147470 dated March 30, 2021 together with its Master Lease-Purchase Agreement dated as of
December 28, 2005 by and between the above-named Lessee and the above-named Lessor and the Escrow Agreement dated
March 30, 2021 relating to the foregoing.
Sir/Madam:
I have acted as counsel to Lessee with respect to the Lease Schedule and its Addenda, the Master Lease-Purchase Agreement and its
Addenda, and all other agreements described above or related thereto (collectively, the "Agreements") and various related matters, and
in this capacity have reviewed a duplicate original or certified copy of the Agreements and such other documents as I have deemed
necessary for the purposes of this opinion.
Based upon the examination of such documents, it is my opinion that:
1. Lessee is a political subdivision of the State of LA (the "State") duly organized, existing and operating under the Constitution and
laws of the State.
2. Lessee is authorized and has power under State law to enter into all of the Agreements, and to carry out its obligations thereunder
and the transactions contemplated thereby.
3. The Agreements and all other documents related thereto have been duly authorized, approved and executed by and on behalf of
Lessee, and each of the Agreements is a valid and binding contract of Lessee enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to
the extent limited by State and Federal laws affecting creditor’s remedies and by bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws of
general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights.
4. The authorization, approval and execution of the Agreements and all other proceedings of Lessee relating to the transactions
contemplated thereby have been performed in accordance with all applicable Local, State and Federal laws (including open
meeting laws and public bidding and property acquisition laws).
5. To the best of my knowledge, there is no litigation or proceeding pending before any court, administrative agency or
governmental body, that challenges: the organization or existence of Lessee; the authority of its officers; the proper authorization,
approval and execution of any of the Agreements or any documents relating thereto; the appropriation of monies to make
payments under the Agreements for the current fiscal year; or the ability of Lessee otherwise to perform its obligations under the
Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.
6. Lessee is a political subdivision of the State as referred to in Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
the related regulations and rulings thereunder.
Lessor, its Assignee and any of their assigns may rely upon this opinion.
Very truly yours,
Attorney

property generally described in the attached Schedule A-1 (the "Equipment") to Lessee, and Lessee has agreed to lease and purchase

the Lease, but is entirely supplemental thereto. The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented,
in whole or in part, only by a writing signed by all Parties.

designated as the Equipment Acquisition Fund (the "Equipment Acquisition Fund"). Escrow Agent shall keep such funds deposited
into the escrow account separate and apart from all other funds and money held by it, and shall administer such funds as provided in

Equipment Acquisition Fund on the Lessor's Deposit Date and shall be used to pay the balance of the purchase price of each item of
Equipment subject to the Lease. The Escrow Agent shall pay to the suppliers of the Equipment the payment amounts then due and
payable with respect thereto upon receipt of a written request executed by an Authorized Representative (as defined in Section 7) of
the Lessor, delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 9.02, and after the Escrow Agent has satisfied any applicable
security procedures as required by Section 7. The written request will specify the supplier/beneficiary, its address or wire instructions

items of Equipment described in said Receipt Certificate, (b) if the item of Equipment is a titled vehicle, a copy of the Manufacturer's
Statement of Origin (MSO) , and (c) any other documents required by the Lease, and Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be obligated

Lease, then the Escrow Agent shall immediately remit to Lessor the remaining balance of the Equipment Acquisition Fund. After its
receipt of a notice of an event of default under the Lease, the Escrow Agent shall comply with all written instructions from an
Authorized Representative of Lessor without further consent from Lessee or any other person. After its receipt of a notice of an event
of default under the Lease, the Escrow Agent shall not accept or act upon any instruction from Lessee nor shall it permit any
distribution or release of any part of the Equipment Acquisition Fund without written authorization from an Authorized Representative
of the Lessor.
2.04 Upon the Escrow Agent's receipt of a Full Funding Notice (as defined below), the Escrow Agent shall apply the
balance remaining in the Equipment Acquisition Fund:
first, to all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection herewith as evidenced by its statement
forwarded to Lessee and Lessor; and
second, to Lessor to be applied by Lessor for benefit of Lessee either: (a) toward the principal and interest portion of the Rent
Payment next coming due under the Lease; or (b) to reimburse the Lessee for the interest portion of their Rental Payments previously
made within the past 18 months; or (c) toward a partial prepayment of the principal amount remaining due under the Lease and
thereupon Lessor shall prepare and deliver to Lessee a revised Payment Schedule reflecting such partial prepayment of principal.

next coming due under the Lease; or (b) to reimburse the Lessee for the interest portion of their Rental Payments previously made
within the past 18 months; or (c) toward a partial prepayment of the principal amount remaining due under the Lease and thereupon
Lessor shall prepare and deliver to Lessee a revised Payment Schedule reflecting such partial prepayment of principal.
Upon the Funding Expiration Date stated in Section 1.04 above, the Escrow Agent shall apply the interest earnings on the Equipment
Acquisition Fund as set forth in Section 2.04 above.

affiliate, as principal or agent, investments authorized by this Section. Such investments and reinvestments shall be made giving
consideration for the time at which funds are required to be available. No investment instruction shall be given that would cause the
Agreement to be deemed an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
3.03 The Escrow Agent shall have no discretion whatsoever with respect to the management, disposition or investment of
the Equipment Acquisition Fund. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that all investments made pursuant to this section shall be for the
account and risk of Lessee and any losses associated with investments shall be borne solely by Lessee. Escrow Agent shall from time

$100,000,000.00 ("Acceptable Bank"); (e) obligations of State or Municipal Public Housing Authorities chartered by the United States
of America and guaranteed by the United States of America; (f) demand interest bearing accounts of Escrow Agent or an affiliate of

money market funds are rated in either of the two highest categories of any Rating Agency at the time of purchase, including, without
limitation, the Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas Funds, or any other mutual fund for which the Escrow Agent or an affiliate of
the Escrow Agent serves as investment manager, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, and/or custodian or subcustodian,
notwithstanding that (1) the Escrow Agent or an affiliate of the Escrow Agent receives fees from such funds for services rendered, (2)
the Escrow Agent charges and collects fees for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, which fees are, separate from the fees
received from such funds and (3) services performed for such funds and pursuant to this Agreement may at times duplicate those
provided to such funds by the Escrow Agent or its affiliates; and (h) any other obligations approved in writing by Lessor. Unless
otherwise directed in writing by an Authorized Representative of the Lessee, the Escrow Agent shall invest the Equipment Acquisition
Fund, including all income earnings, as selected by the Lessee on schedule 1 hereto ("Schedule 1") upon the execution of this
Agreement. In the event that no election is made by an Authorized Representative of Lessee by the Lessor's Deposit Date, Escrow
Agent shall leave the funds uninvested in the Equipment Acquisition Fund
3.04 If any of the above-described Qualified Investments are not legal investments of Lessee, then an Authorized
Representative of the Lessee shall immediately notify Escrow Agent which of said Qualified Investments are not legal investments of
Page 3 of 13

the Lessee to ascertain that all investments comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, statues, and policies.

value or notional value) of any Qualified Investment furnished in any report or statement may be obtained from third party sources
and is furnished for the exclusive use of the Parties. The Escrow Agent has no responsibility whatsoever to determine the market or

valuations or that any values necessarily reflect the proceeds that may be received on the sale of a Qualified Investment.

4.01 The Escrow Agent may: act in reliance upon any writing, notice, certificate, instruction, instrument or signature
which it, in good faith, reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed by an Authorized Representative of the applicable
Party or Parties; assume the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such a writing, notice, certificate,
instruction or instrument; and assume that any person purporting to give any such writing, notice, certificate, instruction or instrument

without limitation, its duties as to the safekeeping, investment and disbursement of moneys in the Equipment Acquisition Fund) shall
be limited to those specifically provided herein.
4.02 Lessee and Lessor jointly and severally shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the Escrow Agent from any and
all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties and expenses (including out-of pocket and incidental expenses and fees and
expenses of in house or outside counsel) ("Losses") arising out of or in connection with (i) its execution and performance of this
Agreement, except to the extent and that such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction through a final order to have
been caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent, or (ii) its following any instructions or other directions
from Lessee or the Lessor, except to the extent that its following any such instruction or direction is expressly forbidden by the terms
hereof. The provisions of this Section 4.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the
Escrow Agent for any reason. The indemnifications set forth herein are intended to and shall include the indemnification of all
affected agents, directors, officers and employees of the Escrow Agent. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special,

4.03 Except as otherwise provided in accordance with Section 2.03 above, if Lessee or Lessor disagree about the
interpretation of the Lease or this Agreement, about their rights and obligations under the Lease or this Agreement, or about the
propriety of any action contemplated by the Escrow Agent hereunder, then the Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, file an
appropriate civil action to resolve the disagreement. Lessee and Lessor shall pay all costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in
connection with such action. Unless the Escrow Agent has received a notice of an event of default under the Lease in accordance with

by Authorized Representatives of the Parties which eliminates such conflict or by a final court order or (b) file an action in

agents.
4.05 The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and

ESCROW FUNDING SCHEDULE ADDENDUM

AND ARBITRAGE CERTIFICATE
Lease Schedule No.: 1000147470
Escrow Agent: DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS
Escrow Agreement dated as of: MARCH 30, 2021
Amount To Be Deposited Into Escrow: $9,977,000.00 ("Lessor's Deposit")
Reference is made to the above Lease Schedule ("Schedule") to the Master Lease-Purchase Agreement identified in the
Schedule ("Master Lease") by and between JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. ("Lessor") and the above lessee ("Lessee"). As used
herein, "Lease" shall mean the Schedule and the Master Lease, but only to the extent that the Master Lease relates to the Schedule.
This Addendum amends and modifies the terms and conditions of the Lease and is hereby made a part of the Lease. Unless otherwise
defined herein, capitalized terms defined in the Master Lease shall have the same meaning when used herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, as part of the valuable consideration to induce the execution of the Lease, Lessor and Lessee hereby
agree to amend the Lease as follows:
1. Lessee and Lessor together with the above Escrow Agent ("Escrow Agent") have entered into the above Escrow
Agreement ("Escrow Agreement") establishing a fund ("Equipment Acquisition Fund") from which the Purchase Price of the
Equipment will be paid.
2. Lessor shall deposit such amount into escrow as is required by the Escrow Agreement, which amount shall be credited to
the Equipment Acquisition Fund. Lessee shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price of the Equipment, either by deposit in escrow to
the Equipment Acquisition Fund or by direct payment to the Suppliers of the Equipment.
3. The Lease Term of the Lease shall commence on the earlier of the date specified in the Payment Schedule to the Schedule
or the date of Lessor's deposit of funds into the Equipment Acquisition Fund. Notwithstanding the statements regarding delivery and
acceptance of the Equipment in the Schedule, the parties acknowledge that the Equipment will be accepted as provided in the Escrow
Agreement.
4. The delivery of documents and the satisfaction of any other conditions required by the Escrow Agreement or this
Addendum shall be additional Funding Conditions for the Lease.
5. Upon Lessee's execution of the Escrow Agreement, Lessee hereby represents and warrants to Lessor that: (a) Lessee has
full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Escrow
Agreement, and all such actions have been duly authorized by appropriate findings and actions of Lessee's governing body; (b) the
Escrow Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Lessee and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee,
enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (c) the Escrow Agreement is authorized under, and the authorization, execution and
delivery of the Escrow Agreement complies with, all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations (including, but not limited
to, all open meeting, public bidding and public investment laws) and all applicable judgments and court orders.
6. The opinion of Lessee's legal counsel will include statements to the same effect as the representations of Lessee in
paragraph 5 above.
7. It shall be an additional event of default under the Lease if Lessee fails to pay or perform any of its obligations under the
Escrow Agreement or this Addendum or if any of the representations of Lessee in the Escrow Agreement or this Addendum prove to
be false, misleading or erroneous in any material respect.
8. ARBITRAGE CERTIFICATE. The authorized representative of Lessee who executes this Addendum hereby certifies
that he/she is the duly qualified and acting representative of Lessee with the title set forth below his/her signature hereon; that Lessee
has executed and delivered the Schedule and the Master Lease (collectively, the "Lease"); that Lessee is a political subdivision of the
State identified in the Lease; and that in his/her official capacity as such officer he/she is responsible for executing and delivering, on
Page 1 of 3
151211-V1
behalf of the Lessee, the Lease and this Addendum. This paragraph of this Addendum (hereinafter, this paragraph shall be identified
as the "Arbitrage Certificate") is being issued by Lessee as a "no arbitrage certificate" pursuant to Section 148 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and Treasury Regulations, Sections 1.148-0 through 1.148.11 (the "Regulations"). Lessee
represents and warrants to Lessor that the following facts, estimates and circumstances are in existence on the date of this Arbitrage
Certificate or are reasonably expect to occur hereafter.
(a) The Lease provides for the lease of the Equipment described in the Lease by Lessor to Lessee. Under the Lease, Lessee is
required to make Rent Payments with respect to the Equipment, comprising principal and interest, on the dates and in the
amounts stated in the Payment Schedule to the Lease.
(b) Pursuant to the Lease and for the purpose of meeting its obligations thereunder and assuring the Lessee of the availability
of monies needed to pay the cost of the Equipment when due, Lessee, Lessor and the Escrow Agent have executed the
Escrow Agreement.
(c) Contracts or purchase orders providing for the acquisition and delivery of the Equipment have been issued by Lessee to
Equipment Vendors therefor and the Equipment will be acquired and installed with due diligence. Based upon the provisions
of the contracts or purchase orders, the Equipment will be acquired and installed no later than eighteen (18) months from the
date of the Escrow Agreement ("Funding Expiration Date").
(d) The Escrow Agreement provides that Lessor shall deposit the Lessor's Deposit into escrow to be credited to the
Equipment Acquisition Fund created by the Escrow Agreement and utilized to pay for the Equipment as provided therein. It
is presently expected that all such funds initially credited to the Equipment Acquisition Fund shall be disbursed to pay for the
Equipment, but any such amounts ultimately determined not to be needed for such purposes and the interest earnings on the
amounts held in escrow shall be utilized on or after the Funding Expiration Date to pay part of the principal due under the
Lease, as provided in the Escrow Agreement.
(e) All of the spendable proceeds of the Lease will be expended on the Equipment and related expenses on or before the
Funding Expiration Date.
(f) The original proceeds of the Lease, and interest to be earned thereon, do not exceed the amount necessary for the purpose
for which the Lease is issued.
(g) The interest of Lessee in the Equipment has not been and is not expected during the term of the Lease to be sold or
disposed of by Lessee.
(h) No sinking fund is expected to be created by Lessee with respect to the Lease and Rental Payments.
(i) Lessee represents, warrants and covenants to one of the following statements of this clause (i) as is initialed by Lessee
below [and if Lessee fails to initial its selection, then subclause (A) shall be deemed to have been selected by Lessee]:
____________ (A) 100% of the proceeds of the Lease shall be paid for the acquisition of the Equipment within 18 months of
the date of the Escrow Agreement in accordance with the following schedule:
No less than 15% within 6 months of the date of the Escrow Agreement;
No less than 60% within 12 months of the date of the Escrow Agreement; and
No less than 100% within 18 months of the date of the Escrow Agreement.
____________ (B) 100% of the proceeds of the Lease shall be paid for the acquisition of the Equipment within 6 months of the
date of the Escrow Agreement.
____________ (C) Lessee qualifies for the "small issuer" exemption in section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code because all of the
following are true: (1) Lessee is a governmental unit with general taxing powers, and (2) the Lease is not a "private
activity bond" as defined in Section 141 of the Code, and (3) 95% or more of the proceeds of the Lease shall be used
for the governmental activities of Lessee, and (4) the aggregate face amount of all tax exempt bonds and other tax
exempt obligations (other than "private activity bonds") issued by Lessee (and any subordinate entities of Lessee as
contemplated by Section 148(f) of the Code) during the calendar year in which the Lease is issued is not reasonably
expected to exceed $5,000,000.00.
(j) Lessee hereby covenants that Lessee shall comply with all of the requirements of the Code and Regulations relating to the
rebate of arbitrage profit to the United States of America (including, without limitation Section 148(f) of the Code) and will
rebate to the United States of America all arbitrage profit required thereby.
Page 2 of 3
151211-V1
(k) To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the expectations of Lessee, as set forth above, are reasonable;
and there are no present facts, estimates and circumstances which would change the foregoing expectations.
(l) Lessee has not been notified of the listing or proposed listing of it by the Internal Revenue Service as an issuer whose
arbitrage certificates may not be relied upon.
9. If there is a partial prepayment of principal pursuant to the terms of either clause (c) of Section 2.04 second of the Escrow
Agreement or clause (c) of Section 2.05 second of the Escrow Agreement, then in addition to the payment of the Partial Principal
Amount, a Break Funding Charge (as defined below) shall be due and payable if (i) exceeds (ii) where (i) equals the interest portion of
each of the Rent Payments which would have been paid if such prepayment had not occurred calculated at the interest rate swap
including any forward rate swap, if any, which Lessor shall be deemed to have entered into on the earlier of (a) the date the Lease was
originally funded or (b) the date a rate lock letter was signed, if any, and (ii) equals the interest portion of each of the Rent Payments
which would have been paid if such prepayment had not occurred calculated at the interest rate swap which Lessor shall be deemed to
have entered into on the date of prepayment (the "Replacement Swap"). The "Break Funding Charge" equals the present value of the
difference between (i) and (ii) for each interest period discounted to a net present value as of the date of prepayment using the fixed
interest rate of the Replacement Swap. Lessee acknowledges that (i) Lessor might not fund or hedge its fixed-rate loan portfolio or any
prepayment thereof on a loan-by-loan basis at all times, and agrees that the Break Funding Charge is a reasonable and appropriate
method of calculating liquidated damages for any prepayment irrespective of whether any of the foregoing hedging transactions have
in fact occurred or occurred precisely as stated with respect to the Lease and (ii) all calculations and determinations by the Lessor of
the Break Funding Charge or of any element thereof, if made in accordance with its then standard procedures for so calculating or
determining such amounts, shall be conclusive absent manifest arithmetic error.
10. Except as expressly amended by this Addendum and other modifications signed by Lessor, the Lease remains unchanged
and in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Addendum as of the date first referenced above.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it known and remembered that the City of Shreveport of the State of Louisiana
acting under said authority, as Lessor, does hereby lease, let and grant exclusively unto the said Lessee, and
Les&ee's successors and assigns, the property described below for the purpose of exploring by any method.
including but not limited to geophysical and geological exploration for formations or structures and prospecting
and drilling for and producing oil, gas and any other liquid or gaseous minerals in solution and produced with oil or
gas, hereinafter sometimes referred to for convenience as oil, gas or other liquid or gaseous mineral. In
connection therewith, Lessee shall have the right to use so much of the property as may be reasonably necessary
for such operations, including but not limited to storing minerals and fluids in facilities or by means other than
subsurface storage; laying pipelines; dredging canals; and building roads, bridges, docks, tanks, power stations,
telephone and electric transmission lines, and other structures and facilities. The leased property, situated in the

SEE EXHIBIT "A". ATTACHED HERETO AND MADE A

PART HEREOF, FOR DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
This lease excludes free sulphur, potash, lignite, salt and other solid minerals. Lessee shall not have any
rights to explore, drill for, mine, produce or take any action whatsoever in regard to any such solid mineral
deposits.
1. Lessee has this day paid to Lessor a cash payment of Thirty Two and 42/100 Dollars ($32.42), one-half
(1/2) of which is bonus as full and adequate consideration for every right granted hereunder and not allocated as
mere rental for a period, and one-half (1/2) of which is rental for the first year of this lease.
2. Subject to the other provisions hereof this lease shall be for a term of three (3) years from the date
hereof (hereinafter called "primary term") and as long thereafter as oil, gas, or any other liquid or gaseous mineral
is produced hereunder in paying quantities or any operation is conducted, payment is made, or condition exists,
which continues this lease in force, according to its terms.
3. If actual drilling operations are not commenced hereunder on the leased premises in good faith on or
before one year from the date hereof, this lease shall then terminate unless Lessee on or before the expiration of
that period shall pay or tender to the Lessor the sum of Sixteen and 21/100 Dollars ($16.21) (hereinafter called
"rental") which shall not be less than one-half (1/2) of the above cash payment and which shall extend for twelve
(12) months the time within which drilling operations may be commenced. Thereafter, annually, in like manner
and upon like payments or tenders, all of Lessee's rights hereunder may be maintained without actual drilling
operations for successive periods of twelve (12) months each during the primary term. Payment or tender of
rental may be made by check or draft of Lessee made payable to the order of Lessor and delivered or mailed by
registered mail to the Lessor on or before the rental paying date.
4. (a) If on any rental paying date actual drilling operations are being conducted on or production in paying
quantities is being obtained from the leased premises, no rental shall be due for the annual rental period then
commencing; rf actual drilling operations be abandoned at any time within a period of ninety (90) days prior to any rental
paying date or if production ceases within such ninety (90) days, Lessee shall have a period of ninety (90) days after the
date of such abandonment of operations or cessation of production within which to commence or resume production,
commence actual drilling operations on the leased premises, or make the rental payment, and the commencement or
resumption of production, commencement of such operations, or payment of rental within the ninety (90) day period shall
have the same effect as though resumed, commenced, or paid on or before the rental paying date.
(b) If at the expiration of the primary term oil, gas or other liquid or gaseous mineral is not being produced
hereunder but on or before that date (or on or before the end of ninety (90) days following cessation of production or
abandonment of a well, if a well is abandoned or production should cease within ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of
the primary term) Lessee commences actual drilling or reworking operations on the leased premises in an effort to make
the premises produce any such minerals (or production is commenced or resumed during such ninety (90) day period),
then this lease shall continue in force so long as such operations are being conducted in good faith without lapse of more
than ninety (90) days between cessation of operations and their recommencement whether on the same well or wells or
on a different well or wells successively or so long as the production so commenced or resumed is obtained in paying
quantities. If at any time or times after the expiration of the primary term production hereunder should for any reason
cease or terminate, Lessee shall have the right at any time within ninety (90) days from cessation of production to resume
production or actual drilling or reworking operations in an effort to make the leased premises again produce any of such
minerals, in which event this lease shall remain in force so long as such operations are continued as above provided. If as
a result of any such operations, oil, gas, or other liquid or gaseous mineral be found and produced or the production of
any of them is restored, this tease shall continue in force so long as any of them are produced hereunder in paying
quantities or this lease is otherwise being maintained as herein provided.
(c) This lease may be maintained in force by directional drilling operations (deviation from vertical), in which
event actual drilling operations shall be considered to have commenced on the leased premises when the drill stem
penetrates beneath the surface of the leased premises.
(d) Wherever used in this lease, "actual drilling operations" means actual drilling (commenced by spudding in)
of a new well, or the good faith deepening, sidetracking, or the plugging back or attempted recompletion in a separate
interval of an existing well (all such operations being commenced by actual downhole operations); and "reworking
operations" means reconditioning, cleaning out, or otherwise attempting in good faith to establish, increase, or restore
production in an existing well by downhole operations. Once commenced, any such operations shall be deemed to
continue so long as they are conducted in good faith without a lapse of more than ninety (90) days. Actual drilling
operations shall be deemed to terminate on the last day actual operations of any kind, such as drilling, testing, or
installation of equipment are conducted tn good faith for the purpose of attempting to discover minerals or to complete a
well as a producer. Reworking operations shall be deemed to terminate on the last day such operations are conducted in
good faith for the purpose of establishing, increasing, or restoring production. "Paying Quantities" as used in this lease
means paying quantities as defined by Article 124 of the Louisiana Mineral Code, provided that in addition thereto, and
notwithstanding the provision of Article 125 of said Code, the royalties payable on such production must also be sufficient
to constitute a serious or adequate consideration to Lessor to maintain this lease in effect.
5. The obligations set forth in this Article are applicable only to wells drilled on property which is not part of a
pooled unit containing all or any portion of the leased property. Such property is hereinafter described in this Article as
"adjoining property."
(a) If at any time during or after the primary term there is completed on adjoining property a well located within
six hundred and sixty (660) feet of the leased premises (or within any spacing or pooling unit distance greater than 660
feet established by the Commissioner of Conservation) and such well produces oil, gas, or other liquid or gaseous
mineral in paying quantities for twenty (20) days (which need not be consecutive) during any period of thirty (30) days, or
produces its monthly allowable during such thirty (30) day period, rebuttal presumptions will arise: (1) that the leased
premises are thereby being drained; (2) that the leased premises are not being reasonably protected from drainage.by
any well or wells on the leased premises or land pooled therewith; and (3) that an offsetting well on the leased premises
would be economically feasible. If Lessee is the operator of or has a working interest in the adjoining property, Lessee will
begin actual drilling operations for a well on the leased premises within ninety (90) days after the end of the above thirty
(30) day period. In all other cases Lessee shall be required to begin such operations only within ninety (90) days after
receipt of written notice from the Board of the expiration of the above thirty (30) day period. No offset well shall be
necessary if, on or before the maturity date of the offset obligation or any deferred maturity date as hereinafter provided,
any of the stated presumptions are rebutted or a unit for the well in question embracing all or part of the leased premises
is formed by agreement with the Board or by order of the Commissioner of Conservation.
in lieu of commencing operations for an offset well as above provided, Lessee may, at Lessee's option,
commence compensatory payments equal to the royalties herein provided, computed on one-half (%) of the oil, gas, or
other liquid or gaseous mineral produced by the well in question on and after the date operations would have otherwise
Page 18 of 29
beejn commenced, value to be determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of this lease. Such payments
may be commenced on or before sixty (60) days after the date operations would otherwise have been commenced, but
shall include any accrued compensatory payments. Thereafter, payments shall be due monthly in accordance with Article
6 (g). The lessee shall not be in default in either commencing compensatory payments or in making further payments as
above provided if despite due diligence Lessee is unable timely to obtain the production information on which such
payments are to be based. In any such case, however. Lessee must on or before the due date of the payments, notify the
Board in writing of Lessee's inability to make such payment, the reasons therefor, and Lessee's intent to make such
payment at the earliest reasonable time. Compensatory payments may be continued, at Lessee's discretion, for not more
than one year from the date on which offset operations would otherwise have been commenced. At the end of that time,
or within 30 days from the end of any lesser period for which payments are made. Lessee shall comply with this.offset
obligation if the producing well continues to produce in paying quantifies or to produce its allowable and the other
conditions making this obligation operative are existent. The right to make compensatory payments is intended to permit
Lessee to evaluate further the producing well, and the making of such payments shall not of itself be sufficient to maintain
this lease if the lease is not otherwise being maintained in force and effect; however, the making of any such payments
shall not prejudice Lessee's right to rebut any of the above enumerated presumptions.
(b) In addition to the specific offset drilling obligation above provided, Lessee agrees to drill any and all wells
necessary to protect the leased premises from drainage of oil, gas, or other liquid or gaseous mineral by a well or wells
on adjoining property or to take any other steps reasonably necessary to protect the leased premises against such
drainage, including, but not limited to, obtaining the formation of appropriate drilling or production units. If Lessee is the
operator of or has a working interest in any well on adjoining property, Lessee shall be obligated to begin actual drilling
operations: or a well on the leased premises or to take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary to protect the
leased premises within ninety (90) days from the time Lessee knows or reasonably should know that drainage is
occurring. In all other cases Lessee shall be obligated to begin such operations or take such other steps only within ninety
(90) days after receipt of written notice from the Board.
(c) In those instances in which notice is expressly required under paragraph (a) or (b), above, damages, if
due, shall be computed only from the date on which notice is received or, if Lessee commences compensatory payments,
the date on which such payments are discontinued. In those instances in which there is no requirement or notice under
(a) or (b), above, damages. If due, shall be computed from the time Lessee knew or reasonably should have known
drainage was, occurring. Written notice containing a demand for performance shall be necessary as a prerequisite to any
action for cancellation of the lease by Lessor for nonperformance of any obligations of Lessee to protect the leased
premises against drainage.
6. Unless Lessor elects to take in kind all or any part of the portion due Lessor as royalty on minerals produced
and saved hereunder, which option is hereby expressly reserved by Lessor pursuant to L.R.S. 30:127 A and which is to
be exercised by written notice by Lessor to Lessee at any time and from time to time while this lease is in effect and either
prior or subsequent to acceptance by Lessor of royalties other than in kind, it being understood that nothing contained in
this lease or in the rider attached hereto shall ever be Interpreted as limiting or waiving said option, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor as royalty:
a) 1/6 of the value, as hereinafter provided, of all oil, including cqndensate or other liquid mineral
produced and saved or utilized by methods considered ordinary production methods at the time of production. The value
of such oil shall not be less than the average price for oil of like grade and quality posted for the field in which this lease is
situated. If there is no price posted for the field in which this lease is situated, the value of such oil shall be not less than
the average of prices posted for oil of like grade and quality for the three fields nearest to the field in which this lease is
situated for which such prices are posted. If Lessee enters into an oil sales contract which, at the time of execution,
provides for a price equal to or in excess of the appropriate average price referred to in the two preceding sentences, the
price payable under the terms of the contract at the time such oil is run shall be the value of such oil, even though the
appropriate average changes during the life of the contract; however, any such contract must have been prudently
negotiated under the circumstances existing at the time of execution. If Lessee is unable, after diligent effort, to sell such
oil for a price equal to or in excess of the appropriate average price and Lessee consequently negotiates a contract to sell
such oil to an independent party at a lesser price, the value of such oil for the duration of any such contract (but not in
excess of one year) shall be the price received by Lessee under such contract.
The lessee shall not make any deduction whatsoever for the cost of any operation, process, facility, or other item
considered being a production function or facility at the time such oil is run. Without limiting the foregoing sentence and
without regard to classification as production costs, or otherwise, the following costs are not to be deducted from the
value of production: (1) costs incurred for gathering or transporting production in the field; (2) costs incurred for handling,
treating, separating, or in any way processing production to make it marketable by methods considered ordinary at the
time such oil is run; and (3) the cost of storage on the lease or in the field. The performance of any producing function or
any function mentioned in clauses (2) and (3) of the foregoing sentence at a commingled facility in or outside the field in
which this lease is situated shall not make the cost of any such function deductible.
Page 19 of 29
' , If Lessee delivers such oil at a point outside the field in which this lease is situated, Lessee may deduct from the
value of the actual costs of transportation from the field to the point of delivery by means of facilities belonging to an
independent party. If such transportation is by means of facilities owned by one other than an independent party. Lessee
may deduct the actual cost of such transportation, but only if such cost is no greater than the fair value of the services
performed; if actual cost is greater than fair value, the fair value shall determine the amount deductible; however, if the
facilities used are regulated as a common carrier by a state of a federal regulatory agency, the authorized tariff
chargeable for the services rendered and paid by Lessee shall be deemed the fair value of such services. If such
transportation is by means of any facilities owned by Lessee, Lessee may deduct from the value of production a
reasonable sum for such services, computed as follows: the amount deductible shall include only (1) the direct cost of
operation and maintenance, including cost of labor, direct supervision, fuel, supplies, ordinary repairs, and ad valorem
taxes; and (2) depreciation of the facility computed over the estimated life of the field.
If Lessee receives any compensation for any function or process for which Lessee is responsible to Lessor
without right to deduct costs, including, but not limited to, (1 } handling, gathering, or transporting such oil, or (2) treating or
processing such oil by ordinary methods to make it marketable, the amount of such compensation shall be added to the
value of such oil when computing royalties. If Lessee is deducting costs for any functions for which he is also receiving
compensation, deductions may be made only to the extent that they are in excess of any such compensation.
(b) 16 of the value as hereinafter provided, of all gas, including casing head gas, produced and saved
or utilized by methods considered as ordinary production methods at the time of production. When such gas is sold by
Lessee to an independent party under an arm's length contract prudently negotiated under the facts and circumstances
existing at the time of its execution, the value of such gas and of gas utilized by Lessee shall be the price received by
Lessee for such gas under the contract. If the purchaser is not an independent party but the contract would have been
considered prudently negotiated under the facts and circumstances existing at the time of its execution if made with an
independent party, then the value of the gas shall be the price received by Lessee under the contract; if the contract
would not have been considered prudently negotiated if made with an independent party, the value of such gas shall be
its fair value at the time of production but not less than the average of the prices paid for gas of like kind and quality from
the field from which such gas is being produced, or if no gas is being sold from that field, the average of prices paid for
gas of like kind and quality in the three nearest fields in which gas of like kind and quality is being sold, all comparisons to
be with contracts made in the same market (either interstate or intrastate) and for the sale of similar quantities of gas. In
all other cases the value of such gas shall be the average stated in the last clause of the preceding sentence.
Except as expressly permitted herein, Lessee shall not make any deduction whatsoever for the cost of any
operation, process, facility, or other item considered being a producing function at the time such gas is produced. Without
limiting the foregoing sentence and without regard to classification as production costs or otherwise, the following costs
are not to be deducted from the value of production: (1) costs incurred forgathering or transporting production in the field;
or (2) costs incurred for dehydrating, decontaminating, or in any way processing production to make it marketable by
methods considered ordinary at the time such gas is produced. The performance of any producing function or any
function mentioned in clause (2) of the foregoing sentence at a commingled facility in or outside the field in which this
lease is situated shall not make the cost of any such function deductible. Without regard to classification as production
costs or otherwise, Lessee may deduct costs incurred for compression of gas at a point in or adjacent to the field for
insertion into a purchaser's line or into a line owned by Lessee or a carrier for transportation to a point of delivery outside
the field,
If Lessee delivers such gas at a point outside the field in which this lease is situated, Lessee may deduct from the
value of such gas a reasonable sum for transportation from the field to the point of delivery by means of facilities
belonging to an independent party, not in excess of actual cost. If such transportation is by means of facilities owned by
one other than an independent party, Lessee may deduct the actual cost of such transportation, but only if such cost is no
greater than the fair value of the services performed; if actual cost is greater than fair value, the fair value shall determine
the amount to be deducted. If such transportation is by means of any facilities owned by Lessee, Lessee may deduct from
the value of production a reasonable sum for such services, computed as follows: the amount deductible shall include
only (1) the direct cost of operation and maintenance, including cost of labor, direct supervision, fuel, supplies, ordinary
repairs, and ad valorem taxes; and (2) depreciation of the facility computed over the estimated life of the field.
If Lessee receives any compensation for any function or process for which Lessee is responsible to Lessor
without right to deduct costs, including but not limited to, (1) gathering or transporting such gas or (2) dehydrating,
decontaminating, or in any way processing production to make it marketable, the amount of such compensation shall be
added to the value of such gas when computing royalties. If Lessee is deducting costs for any functions for which he is
also receiving compensation, deductions may be made only to the extent they are in excess of any such compensation.
(c) In addition to the separation of condensate or other liquid mineral from gas by ordinary production methods
(as to which Lessor shall receive royalties above provided and for which separation no charge may be made by Lessee),
Page 20 of 29
gas produced hereunder, including casing head gas, may be processed in a gasoline or other extraction plant in or
serving the field, and products may be recovered therefrom either directly by Lessee or under contracts executed by
Lessee. If Lessee enters into a contract for the processing of gas with an independent party or parties under which such
party or parties relain in kind a portion of the products recovered from or attributed to such gas as consideration for
processing, Lessee shall pay the royalty provided for gas in paragraph 6{b) based on the value, as hereinafter
determined, of Lessee's share of such products under such contract. In all other cases Lessee shall pay the royalty
provided for gas in paragraph 6(b) based on the value, as hereinafter determined, of the total products recovered, after
deducting therefrom the costs of processing as specified below. The value of such products (or Lessee's share thereof)
in the cases above provided shall be the price or prices received by Lessee if sold under a contract or contracts prudently
negotiated under the facts and circumstances existing at the time of execution with an independent party or parties. If
such products are not sold to an independent party but are sold under a contract which would have been considered
prudently negotiated if executed with an Independent party, the value of such products (or Lessee's share thereof) shall
be the price or prices received by Lessee. If such products are not sold to an independent party under a prudently
negotiated contract or are sold to one other than an independent party under a contract which would not have been
considered prudently negotiated if executed with an independent party, the value of the products shaft be their fair market
value at the plant at the time sold. The value of any such products (or Lessee's share thereof) not sold under any
contracts shall be the fair market value at the plant for such products, or if no products are being sold at the plant, the
average of the market values for like products of the same grade and quality at the three nearest plants at which such
products are being sold.
When the cost of processing is not met by retention by the processor of a share of the products or in any other
case in which Lessee is to deduct from the value of such products the cost of processing, the charges shall be
determined as follows. If the gas is processed by an independent party or parties under a contract prudently negotiated
under the facts and circumstances existing at the time of execution, the charges deducted shall be those provided in such
contract. In all other cases, including processing by those other than an independent party or parties and those in which
Lessee itself or in conjunction with others owns the plant, the charges should be determined by contract between Lessee
and Lessor. In the absence of such a contract the charges to be deducted shall include only the proportionate part of: (1)
the direct cost of operating and maintaining the plant, computed annually, including cost of labor and on-site supervision,
materials, supplies, and ordinary repairs; (2) plant fuel and shrinkage; (3) depreciation of the plant computed over the life
or lives of the field or fields served by the plant, or by such other method as is agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee; and
(4) ad valorem taxes.
In all of the cases provided for in this paragraph, Lessor shall be entitled to the royalty for gas provided in
paragraph (b) of this Article based on the value of Lessee's share of the residue gas sold or otherwise disposed of after
processing.
(d) if at any time or times (during or after the primary term) there is on the leased premises a well or wells
capable of producing gas in paying quantities, which fact has been duly verified and confirmed in accordance with
Lessor's requirements for proof thereof, but gas Is not being used or marketed therefrom because of the lack of a
reasonable market or marketing facilities or governmental restrictions and if this lease is not then being otherwise
maintained by separate operations or production, this lease shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect for a period
of ninety (90) days after cessation of such production or such operations or the shutting in of such well. If, on or before
the expiration of the ninety (90) day period, production or operations shall not have been commenced or resumed,
Lessee, in order to maintain the lease in force thereafter, shall commence semi-annual payments to the Lessor at the
rate and in the manner provided herein below and thereby maintain the lease in full force and effect during the periods
covered by such payments; however, if the ninety (90) day period should expire during the first year of the primary term or
during any year for which a rental has previously been paid, the initial payment hereunder shall not be required until the
next anniversary date of the lease. The first payment; if made, shall be tendered on or before the expiration of the ninety
(90) day period or the appropriate anniversary date, as the case may be, and shall maintain this lease for six (6) months,
commencing from the expiration of the ninety (90) day period or the anniversary date. Subsequent payments shall be
made at six (6) month intervals thereafter (herein referred to as "shut-in payment dates"). Unless additional payment
periods are earned as hereinafter provided, Lessee's right to make such payments shall continue for six (6) semi-annual
periods (the total of which is herein called "initial payment period"). Each semi-annual payment shall be at the rate of
twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per acre for the number of acres then covered by this lease, but no payment shall be less
than five hundred dollars ($500.00). Each payment shall maintain this lease in full force and effect for a period of six (6)
months, and during each period for which a payment has been made, it shall be considered that gas is being produced
hereunder for all purposes hereof, but especially under the provisions of Articles 2,4, 7, and 9; however, if the provisions
of this paragraph 6(d) are in conflict with those of any other articles hereof, the provisions of this paragraph shall be
controlling.
If on any shut-in payment date, actual drilling operations are being conducted on or actual production of oil, gas,
Page 21 of 29
or other liquid or gaseous mineral in paying quantities is being obtained from the leased premises, no shut-in payment
shall be due until the next shut-in payment date; however, the running of the initial payment period shall not be suspended
or interrupted, and the same shall be true of any extension of that period by: additional shut-in periods earned as
hereinafter provided.
The initial payment period may be extended in the following manner. The lessee may earn two (2) additional six
(6) month shut-in payment periods beyond the initial payment period for each additional well drilled or completed after
completion of the shut-in well on which the initial shut-in payment was made (whether such additional wells are dry holes,
producers, or shut-in wells). To qualify as a well "completed" after the first shut-in well, the completion must be in another
hole, and no more than one completion will be counted for each additional hole regardless of the number of sands in any
such hole. The aggregate additional periods (hereinafter referred to as "additional periods") so earned shall not exceed a
total of six (6). The first of any additional periods shall commence from the date on which the initial payment period would
have expired and the initial payment period, thus extended, shall continue to run from that date, regardless whether
Lessee is actually required to make any additional payments. The Board and Lessee may by mutual agreement provide
for further six (6) month periods (hereinafter called "further periods") beyond the initial payment period and any extension
thereof.
If the end of the initial payment period falls within the primary term of this lease and at a time when there is a
remaining rental date which would permit Lessee to maintain this lease by payment of rentals, Lessee may commence or
resume the payment of rentals on the next anniversary date of this lease or may maintain this lease by any other means
permitted under paragraphs 4(a) and 4(c). If the end of the initial payment period or any extension thereof falls within the
last year of the primary term, it shall be considered that production has ceased under the terms of paragraph 4(a), and no
rental shall be due for the remainder of the primary term. If the end of the initial payment period, any extension thereof, or
any further period falls on or after the expiration date of the primary term and there are no operations or actual production
sufficient to maintain this lease under the provisions of paragraphs 4{b) and 4(c), this lease shall terminate.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be applicable to any well with a gas/oil ratio such that the Commissioner of
Conservation will not permit its operation without use or sale of the gas. Tender or acceptance of a shut-in payment or
payments shall not free Lessee of any obligation to develop this lease as a prudent operator or to exercise diligent efforts
to obtain a market for the gas so discovered.
(e) 1/6 of any and all other liquid or gaseous minerals in solution and produced with oil or gas
and saved or utilized, which are not specifically mentioned herein, said royalties to be delivered or paid when marketed or
utilized as is the accepted practice in such matters.
(f) In all cases, Lessor's royalty shall be calculated and paid after deduction of all severance or production
taxes.
(g) The first payment of royalty shall be made within 120 days following commencement of production from, or
allocation of production to the leased premises, except that in the case of any production from or alEocable to the leased
premises, which has occurred prior to the date of but which is deemed to be covered by this lease, Lessee hereby agrees
to pay Lessor's royalty on all such prior production within 120 days from the date of this lease. Thereafter, royalty on oil,
including condensatd or other liquid mineral, produced and saved at the well by ordinary production methods shall be paid
by the 25th of each month for production of the previous month; and royalty on gas, including liquids or other products
extracted or processed from gas other than by ordinary production methods, or other liquid or gaseous mineral not
specifically mentioned shall be paid on or before the 25th day of the second month following that in which produced or
extracted or processed. In the event any royalty payment is not correctly or timely made, the remedies provided by
L.SA:R.S. 31:137 through 142 relative to notice, damages, interest attorney fees, and dissolution shall be applicable,
except that interest shall be payable thereon until paid without any requirement for prior written notice by Lessor to
Lessee.
(h) For all purposes of this Article 6 "independent party" means a company, firm, or other business unit which
is not: (1) a direct part of Lessee's corporate or other business structure; (2) a wholly owned or actually controlled
subsidiary corporation or other business unit of Lessee; (3) a parent corporation of Lessee; or (4) a wholly owned or
actually controlled subsidiary of Lessee's parent corporation.
7. (a) Lessee may surrender all or any portion or portions of the leased premises at any time this lease is in effect
and thereby be relieved of all obligations thereafter accruing under this lease as to the portions surrendered; however, no
partial release or surrender shall reduce or otherwise affect the amount of rentals provided for in Article 3 of this lease.
. (b) In the event of initial cancellation or forfeiture of this lease Lessee may retain forty (40) acres around each
well capable of or producing oil and one hundred sixty (160) acres around each well producing gas and around each shut-
in well capable of producing gas in paying quantities (including wells drilled under this lease by directional drilling). If any
weH is then being worked on or being drilled, Lessee shall have the right to complete such operations, and in the event
any such operations result in completion of a well capable of producing oil or gas in paying quantities, Lessee may retain
Page 22 of 29
acreage around each such well as above provided. Retained acreage around any well shall form as near a square tract
as is practical, ff any acreage covered by this lease shall have been included in a unit established by the Commissioner
of Conservation, or by conventional agreement, or if any such acreage shall have been assigned to a producing or shut-in
wall under statewide allowable orders of the Commissioner and such acreage is actually being drained by the well or
would be drained by it if the well were produced, Lessee may retain all the acreage included in such unit or units or so
assigned .for allowable purposes. Thereafter, each area so retained by Lessee shall be subject to the terms of this lease
as regards future maintenance thereof.
(c) Within ninety (90) days after expiration or termination by its own terms of this ease or any portion thereof,
either before or after the primary term hereof, Lessee shall execute and record an appropriate release evidencing such
expiration or termination, and shall also supply Lessor with a copy or copies thereof properly certified by the recorder or
recorders of the parish or parishes in which the leased premises are located. In the event Lessee fails to timely comply
therewith, Lessee shall be liable for reasonable attorney fees and court costs incurred in bringing suit for such
cancellation, and for all damages resulting therefrom. It is agreed, however, that damages to be paid by Lessee to Lessor
shall be One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per day for each day of noncompliance after expiration of said ninety (90) day
period, regardless of whether suit is filed for cancellation, and for such additional compensatory damages as Lessor may
prove.
8. It is further agreed and understood that the rights of Lessee may be assigned or transferred in whole or in part,
but no transfer or assignment whether in whole or in part, in elation to this lease shall be valid unless such transfer or
assignment be approved by the Lessor.
9. Lessee may, with the consent and approval of Lessor pool or combine the acreage covered by this lease (or
any portion thereof) with any other property, lease, or leases (or portions thereof). Operations on or production of minerals
from, or the existence of a shut-in gas well on, any portion of a unit, including units created by the Commissioner of
conservation or by conventional agreement in which all or any part or the leased premises is embraced shall have the
same effect under the terms of this lease as if it had occurred on the leased premises.
10. Should Lessee apply or give notice of intent to apply to the Commissioner of Conservation for the creation of
any unit or units which would include all or any portion of the leased premises, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with a copy of
the notice or application, each accompanying unit plat, and all other attached information either at the time the application
is filed with the Commissioner or at the lime required by applicable orders or regulations of the Commissioner for
furnishing such information to any parties entitled to receive it, whichever is earlier. If a unit or units including all or any
part of the leased premises are created by order of the Commissioner, Lessee shall submit to Lessor a survey plat of
each unit or units so created.
11. Upon request by Lessor, Lessee shall furnish Lessor any or all of the following types of data relating to wells
drilled on the leased premises or lands pooled therewith: (1) all wire line surveys in open or cased holes, including, but not
limited to, all electrical and radio activity logs, porosity logs of all types and directional surveys; (2) core descriptions of
both sidewall samples and conventional cores; (3) drill stem and production test data; daily drilling reports to be supplied
weekly and (5) production data, current and cumulative, including oil, gas and water production, surface and subsurface
pressures. The lessee shall also furnish Lessor with any other information and data requested by Lessor to keep. Lessor
fully informed that Lessee is complying with the provisions of this Lease in good faith, and developing and operating the
leased premises as a reasonably prudent operator for the mutual benefit, of Lessor and Lessee. Any information
furnished by Lessee to Lessor or otherwise examined and studied by Lessor shall be retained in confidence. Nothing in
this Article shall require that Lessee furnish or permit inspection of any interpretation of any of the types of data referred
to above, and nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Lessee to secure any such data solely for the purposes of
this Article. Lessor's representatives shall have access at all reasonable times to examine and inspect Lessee's records
and operations pertaining to the leased premises or lands pooled therewith.
12. Lessee shall be obligated to plug and abandon alt wells on the premises no longer necessary for operations
or production on this lease, and to remove from the premises all structures and facilities serving said wells, all at Lessee's
sole risk, cost arid expense and subject to compliance with laws, rules and regulations. The lessee shall furnish a bond
as may be required at any time or times by Lessor, or such other security in lieu thereof as may be acceptable to Lessor,
conditioned upon faithful performance of such obligations. In connection therewith, the right of Lessee to draw and
remove casing from wells is recognized, provided such right is exercised by Lessee not later than one year after
termination of this lease or portion thereof on which the well is located. If such right of salvage is not timely exercised,
then the same shall be forfeited and said casing shall become the property of Lessor. In addition to restoration of the
leased premises as contemplated and required by this lease, Lessee shall be responsible for all damages to the leased
premises, and in addition thereto and without limitation for all damages to any timber, crops, roads, buildings, fences and
other improvements thereon.
13. If at any time Lessee is maintaining this lease by actual drilling or reworking operations or by actual
production and Lessee is prevented from continuing or resuming such operations or production by major storm, major
flood, or other similar natural disaster or by a major accident beyond Lessee's control such as a blowout, fire, or explosion
Page 23 of 29
and if Lessee cannot by reason of any such occurrence maintain this lease on any rental date by continuing any sucn
Operations or production or cannot maintain this lease beyond the primary term by continuing such operations or
production, this lease shall not terminate and no rental shall be e so long as Lessee is so prevented from continuing or
resuming such operations or production and is making diligent efforts to eliminate the effect of such occurrence. The
lessee shall notify Lessor in writing within a reasonable time after such occurrence for the provisions hereof to become
effective and applicable. The primary term shaB In no event be extended for more than (1) year, and provided further that
nothing herein shall suspend payment of delay rental to maintain this lease during the primary term in the absence of
drilling or production.
14. If on the date of this lease all or any portion of the leased premises is included in a unit established by order
of the Commissioner of Conservation. The lessee agrees to pay royalty on oil, gas or other liquid or gaseous mineral
produced and saved or utilized and attributable to the leased premises from the date of such unit regardless whether all
development operating costs chargeable to the leased premises have been paid.
15. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lessor against any and all claims, demands or
suits for bodHy injury, death, property damage or loss of any kind by Lessee or Lessee's employees, agents,
subcontractors and their employees or agents and by any third ties which arise out of or result from or which are in any
way connected with Lessee's operations, whether resulting from the sole or concurrent negligence of Lessor, Lessee or
other parties operating hereunder.
16. In all suits arising out of this contract, the parties hereto agree that Louisiana law shall govern, and that the
state courts of Louisiana shall be the proper forum, unless such suit is required to be filed in or is removed to any federal
court in this state.

and accepted without any warranty of title and without any recourse against Lessor whatsoever, either expressed or
implied. It is expressly agreed that the Lessor Shan not be required to return any payments received hereunder or be

APPROVED RIDER FOR ATTACHMENT TO

1975 LOUISIANA STATE AND STATE AGENCY LEASE FORMS
1. Marketing of Natural Gas
For the purposes of this rider, the term "gas" shall include (i) gas well gas, (ii) gas cap gas produced after depletion of
the oil column, and (Hi) gas produced during the blow down period in a cycling or other secondary recovery project. These
terms are to be construed as same are commonly understood in the oil and gas industry.
The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge that one of the essential considerations for Lessor entering into the oil,
gas and mineral lease to which this rider is attached as a part thereof (herein referred to as the "Lease") is that if a well
capable of producing gas in paying quantities is completed on the leased premises, or on lands pooled or unitized
therewith, and is completed in a reservoir, or reservoirs, not previously committed to a gas sales contract, as permitted
hereinafter, such gas. insofar as attributable to the leased premises, shall be sold to an intrastate market if such a
market is available within a reasonable period of time as hereinafter provided. Therefore, in order to carry out the
intentions of Lessor and Lessee in this regard, the parties hereto do hereby and by these presents agree that once a well
capable of producing gas in paying quantifies has been completed on the leased premises or on lands pooled or unitized
therewith, the following agreements shall be thereafter effective:
Page 25 of 29
'(a) In the event such well is completed and qualified as a well capable of producing gas well gas, the Lease shall
remain in force notwithstanding Paragraph 6{d) of the Lease without any shut-in payments being due from Lessee to
Lessor for an initial period of eighteen (18) months after (a) such completion date, or (b) the effective date of pooling or
utilization, as the case may be (herein called the Initial Period"). During the Initial Period, Lessee agrees to make a
diligent and good faith effort to obtain an intrastate market for the gas and, if such a market can be obtained, to enter into
a gas sales contract for the intrastate marketing of said gas upon the best terms that can be obtained, but on terms
customary in the industry for such contracts; or in lieu of obtaining a new intrastate market, Lessee shall have the option
to deliver such gas under existing intrastate contracts (including amendments thereto) or take the gas for its own
intrastate use. If the gas is delivered under such an existing contract royalty shall be paid thereon as set forth in
Paragraph 6(b) Of the Lease except that Tor purposes of determining pmdency of negotiations and value of such gas
where applicable under Paragraph 6(b) it shall be considered that the contract was negotiated and executed on the date
such delivery commenced. If the gas is taken by Lessee for its own intrastate use and royalty is due thereon, such royalty
shall be based on the current market value of the gas when so used, It is further provided that if the initial intrastate
contract is for a term of five (5) years or less, then if upon its termination, the well is still capable of producing gas in
paying quantities, all of the provisions of this rider shall be applicable to the obtaining of a new market for the gas and the
Initial Period shall be deemed to commence as of the expiration date of the first intrastate contract, in no event however,
shall Lessee be required to sell gas to an intrastate market on terms and conditions less favorable than those wtiich could
be negotiated for a sale to an interstate market. Among the conditions to be considered in making this determination are
the price to be paid for the gas; the availability and the cost, direct or indirect, to Lessee of a pipeline outlet; length of the
contract; inclusion of any price escalation; adjustment for BTU content; renegotiation provisions; on-line processing rights
and availability of facilities; and rate of take. If, however, at the end of the Initial Period Lessee shall not have commenced
the delivery of the gas to an intrastate market or shall not have entered into a firm intrastate gas sales contract on the
terms and conditions herein above set forth, but during such period has drilled, or has commenced operations for the
drilling of, an additional well on the leased premises, or on lands pooled or unitized therewith, in an attempt to establish
additional gas reserves, or additional producibility, then Lessee, at its option, shall be entitled to an additional six (6)
months period (herein called the "Second Period"), commencing at the end of the Initial Period, within which to seek an
intrastate market for such gas on the basis above set forth. In the event Lessee elects to obtain the Second Period, he
shall prior to the end of the initial Period so inform Lessor to that effect in writing and shall identify the additional well
drilled or commenced during the Initial Period. During the Second Period the Lease shall remain in effect without any
shut-in payment being due by Lessee to Lessor.
(b) As to gas cap gas (i.e., gas which cannot be produced until such time as the oil phase of the reservoir is depleted)
and as to gas produced during the blow down period in a cycling or secondary recovery project, the provisions of
subparagraph (a) above shall be applicable, except (i) the Initial Period defined in subparagraph (a) above shall not
commence until the date on which such gas cap gas or blow down gas is available for production and marketing, and (ii)
the Second Period defined in subparagraph (a) above shall not be effective as to any gas covered by this subparagraph
(b).
(c) Lessor and Lessee further agree that if within ninety (90) days after the commencement of the Initial Period, as
defined in subparagraph (a) above, Lessee has not obtained an intrastate market for said gas after a diligent effort to
obtain same and Lessee has the opportunity to sell gas to an interstate market under emergency or other short term sate
contracts with pregranted abandonment or similar withdrawal required by federal regulatory authority, it shall, upon being
granted said authorization and pregranted abandonment or other withdrawal by federal regulatory authority, have the right
to sell said gas to said interstate market provided that the term of any such emergency or other short term sale contract
shall not exceed the term of the Initial Period and the Second Period, if applicable.
(d)"1f at the end of the Initial Period or the Second Period, as the case may be, Lessee has provided for the intrastate
marketing of said gas, but Lessee has not been able physically to commence delivery of gas to the market, then Lessee
shall have an additional free period of six (6) months to permit installation of the necessary marketing equipment and
facilities and to commence deliveries under that contract without any shut-in payment being due by Lessee to Lessor, If,
at the end of the free period of six months provided for in the preceding sentence, deliveries have not commenced
despite Lessee's good faith efforts to connect to the available market and if the Lease is not otherwise being maintained,
Lessee may maintain the Lease by making shut-in gas payments as provided for in Paragraph 6(d) thereof, and it shall be
considered that the well with respect to which such payments are to be made was shut in as of the end of the said
additional free period.
(e) If at the end of the Initial Period or the Second Period identified above, as the case may be. Lessee has not
provided for the intrastate marketing of said gas as set forth herein, and Lessor and Lessee have not mutually agreed to
extend the period during which an intrastate market for said gas may be sought, Lessee shall be free to market said gas
in interstate commerce. In addition, if at that time the Lease is not being otherwise maintained by separate operations or
production as set forth in Paragraph 6(d) thereof, and Lessee desires to maintain the Lease by making shut-in gas well
Page 26 of 29
payments as provided for in said Paragraph 6(d), it shall be considered that the well with respect to which such payments
are to be made was shut-in as of the end of the Initial Period or Second Period, as the case may be.
(f) Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assist Lessee in its attempts to secure an intrastate market for
any gas discovered on or allocated to the leased premises, which shall include the submission through Lessor's efforts of
offers from prospective purchasers; provided, however, that if Lessee shall have complied with its obligations as provided
for herein to attempt to obtain ah intrastate market, the decision of Lessee on the acceptance or rejection of such
intrastate offers shall be final insofar as gas attributable to the interest of Lessee is concerned.
(g) Lessee shall make a full and complete disclosure tp Lessor of its efforts to obtain an intrastate market, including
information concerning the contracts made with prospective intrastate purchasers and the details of all interstate and
intrastate offers made to Lessee as well as all contracts entered into under subparagraph l(c) hereof. This information
shall be furnished quarterly, beginning with the commencement of the Initial Period. All such information shall be kept
strictly confidential by Lessor.
(h) Lessee shall not sell or commit to a contract any gas to be produced from or allocated to the leased premises
unless said gas is to be produced from or allocated to a zone or zones, or their stratigraphic equivalent, which have been
determine4 to be capable of producing gas in paying quantities on the effective date of such sale or commitment. Upon
being presented reasonable justification for same, Lessor may elect to waive this restriction. It is further provided that the
provisions of this rider and the time periods provided for herein shall relate separately to each such contract and to each
different gas reserve as hereinafter defined, For the purposes of this rider each separate zone, or as the case may be,
each separate pool or reservoir not committed under any prior gas contract shall be considered a "different gas reserve";
or if a prior contract committed all reserves to a specific depth or depths, "different gas reserves" shall be considered to
be any discoveries below that specified depth or depths. In the event of the completion of a well in a different gas reserve,
the Initial Period, as herein above defined, shall commence on the date a well is first completed in said different reserve
or, as the case may be, when the gas is first readyfor production and marketing.
(i) Lessor may waive any of the time periods provided for herein if it becomes satisfied that an intrastate gas market is
not and will not be available or if sucn waiver appears to be in the best interest of the State of Louisiana, and in
connection therewith may enter into balancing agreements or similar agreements for placing other gas into an intrastate
market under the terms of which Lessee may agree that the identical volume of gas produced from or allocated to the
leased premises and sold by Lessee to an interstate market may subsequently be dedicated to or sold by Lessee to an
intrastate market whether said gas is realized by Lessee out of subsequent production from or allocated to the leased
premises or from other properties of Lessee.
0) Lessee shall have the right to process the gas and sell the liquid components thereof as permitted by the Lease;
provided, however that if the gas has not previously been committed to an interstate market, no processing or other
handling shall be utilized that win destroy the intrastate status of the gas.
2. Marketing of Oil and Other Liquid Minerals
(a) if either oil or other liquid mineral is produced in paying quantities, from the leased premises or on lands pooled or
uniiized therewith, such minerals, insofar as they are attributable to the leased premises shall be sold by Lessee to an
intrastate market for refining or processing in the State of Louisiana if such market is available within a reasonable period
of time as moTe fully set out herein below; or in lieu of obtaining a new intrastate market, Lessee may deliver such
minerals under its existing intrastate contracts to be refined or processed in the State or to take the minerals for its own
intrastate refining or processing. If Lessee does not elect to deliver such minerals under existing intrastate contracts or to
take such minerals for its own intrastate uses, then for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of such production
Lessee agrees to make a diligent and good faith effort to obtain an intrastate market for such minerals that will cause
them to be refined or processed in the State of Louisiana, and. if such a market can be obtained, to enter into a contract
for the sale of such minerals to an intrastate market upon the best terms that can be negotiated, but on terms customary
in the industry for such contracts. In no event, however, shall Lessee be required to sell such minerals to an intrastate
market at a price less favorable than that which could be negotiated for a sale of the minerals to an interstate market and
in no event shall Lessor's royally be based on less than the current market value of the minerals. If at the end of the
ninety (90) day period Lessee has not been able to sell such minerals to an intrastate market in accordance with the
provisions hereof, Lessee shall be free to market such minerals to any purchaser whether intrastate or interstate in
character. If the minerals are taken by Lessee for its own use or are delivered under an existing intrastate contract and
royalty is due thereon, such royalty shall be based on the current market value of the minerals when so used or delivered.
(b) If the ninety (90) day period becomes operative, then it will be considered as a period during which Lessee is
producing minerals from tne premises in paying quantities, which production will have the same effect as actual
production would have on the lease.
(c) For the purpose of assessing the performance of Lessee of the obligations imposed by this Paragraph 2, the
disclosure provisions of Paragraph l(g) of this rider shall be applicable.
(d) The waiver provisions of Paragraph l(i) of this rider shall be applicable to the terms and conditions contained in this
Paragraph 2.
3. Deferred Development
Actual drilling on, or production from any unit or units (formed by private agreement, or by any State or
Federal governmental authority, or otherwise) consisting exclusively of the land covered by this lease or
consisting of both land herein leased and other land, shalfmaintain this lease in force beyond the primary term
only as to that portion of LESSOR'S land included in such unit or unitSj whether or not sucn drilling or
production is on or from the leased premises. This lease may be maintained in force as to the remainder of the
land in any manner specified in this lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained it is
understood and agreed that in the event during the primary term of this Lease, or within one (1) year thereafter (if the
Page 27 of 29
Lease is then in force and effect), a portion of the property covered hereby is integrated and included or placed with other
lands in a pooled or combined unit, whether by order of a governmental agency or by conventional contract, then unit
drilling operations or unit reworking operations or unit production from a wefl situated on r and/or property embraced in
such unit or units (hereinafter coHecfively called "unitized operations"), shall serve to maintain this Lease in force and
effect as to the entirety of the leased premises, subject however to the following express requirements in lieu of
reasonable development of the "outside acreage," as hereinafter defined, which is not otherwise maintained under the
terms of this Lease all as set out more completely, herein below in this Paragraph 3. If on the anniversary date of the
Lease next ensuing after the commencement of unitized operations (or if the first date of unitized operations is less than
90 days prior to the anniversary date then on the expiration of 90 days after such first date of unitized operations) the
Lease is not being maintained under its terms by means other than uninzed operations, the Lease shall terminate on said
anniversary date (or at the end of said 90 day period as the case may be) as to all outside acreage unless on or before
said anniversary date (or the end of said 90 day period, as the case may be) Lessee pays or tenders to Lessor as a
deferred development payment, a sum of money equal 10 one-half of the rate per acre of me cash payment paid for the
Lease multiplied by the number of acres then comprising the outside acreage, which tender or payment shall maintain
this Lease in effect as to such outside acreage not otherwise maintained under the terms of the Lease until the next
ensuing anniversary date. By similar tender or payment of a deferred development payment on or before each
succeeding anniversary date this Lease may so be maintained in force during the remainder of the primary term (if any)
and for two years thereafter as to s,uch outside acreage. After the expiration of the periods during which tne Lease may
be maintained by deferred development payments as above provided, if this Lease at any time is not being maintained in
effect by other than unitized operations, ft shall terminate as to all outside acreage not otherwise so maintained under the
provisions of this Lease, provioed that if a unit or units are created after the expiration of said periods the effect of which
is to convert non-unitized operations as hereinafter defined, into unitized operations, it shall be regarded for all purposes
of this Lease as though there had been on the effective date of such unit or unite a cessation of production on the outside
acreage. If at any time during the primary term of the Lease or within one year thereafter there is a cessation of all non-
unitized operations as hereinafter defined, whether same occurs as the result of the actual cessation of such operations
or as the result of non-unitized operations being converted into unitized operations, then Lessee, in lieu of resuming non-
unitized operations as provided in this Lease, may elect to maintain the Lease in effect as to the outside acreage by
tendering or paying a deferred development payment, computed as herein above provided, on the next ensuing
anniversary date ofthis Lease (or within 90 days from the cessation of non-unitized operations if such cessation should
occur less than 90 days prior to such anniversary date). If at any time during the second year after the primary term of the
Lease, there is a cessation of non-unitized operations as hereinafter defined, whether same occurs as the result of the
actual cessation of such operations or as the result of non-unitized operations being converted into unitized operations,
then the entire Lease shall nevertheless remain in effect until the next ensuing anniversary date.
Nothing contained in this Paragraph 3 is intended to create nor shall have the effect of creating several or separate
leases, or in any manner to extend, increase or limit the obligation of Lessee to protect the leased premises from
drainage as stated in the Lease, or otherwise. If at any time, eifher during the primary term of the Lease or the limited
extension of the Lease beyond its primary term as provided above in this Paragraph 3, as to the outside acreage not
otherwise held under the terms hereof, Lessee conducts non-unit drilling operations or non-unit reworking operations or
obtains non-unit production from the teased premises (collectively defined as "nonnjnitized operations ), then the
provisions of this paragraph shaft not thereafter apply so long as said non-unitized operations shatt continue.
The provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall also be applicable to a unitized shut-in gas well but in this event, the annual
deferred development payment shall be reduced by deducting therefrom the amount of shut-in gas well payments paid, if
any, during the same penod under Paragraph 6 of the Lease which is applicable to the acreage on which the deferred
development payment is applicable.
For purposes of this paragraph the following definitions shall apply:
(a) The term "anniversary date" shall mean the date of this Lease and the same date of each next ensuing year or
years.
(B) The term "outside acreage" shall mean all of the leased premises, except any portion(s) thereof included in a unit
or units on which unitized operations are being conducted.
4. Environmental and Other Considerations

comply with all minimum water quality standards validly adopted by said governmental authorities with respect to oil
pollution and noxious chemicals and waste being introduced into affected water areas. Further, in conducting all
operations under this Lease requiring dredging, filling, or local navigation in order to explore, develop or exploit shallow-
water areas, Lessee shall comply with the applicable requirements of the appropriate Louisiana state agency charged

premised by or for the account of Lessee; and the affected water bottoms shall, to the extent reasonably possible of
accomplishment, be returned or restored to a condition as nearly equivalent to that which existed before said operations

provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this rider shall control.

and/or dispositions of violations and notice of civil violations.
(5) Upon request of the Department or a person charged with a violation, or his attorney, to
prepare or provide transcripts or audio records of hearings conducted by the
hearing officer and to furnish such transcripts or audio records to the
requesting person at a reasonable cost.
(6) To designate an individual or individuals with the responsibility to answer, within a

reasonable period of time, relevant and reasonable inquiries made by a person charged
with a violation, or his attorney, concerning the violation.
(7) The functions and duties in (4), (5), and (6) identified herein may be performed by
representatives of the Department, as directed by the hearing officer.
(8) To prescribe regulations for the presentation and the conduct of hearings which need not
necessarily be in strict conformity with the usual rules of evidence and technical rules of
procedure, however, the fundamental principles governing a fair and impartial hearing or
trial and due process of law must be reasonably and substantially adhered to.
e. Except as provided in subsection (i), failure to pay a civil violation penalty or to contest liability
beyond 30 calendar days from the date of mailing of the notice of civil violation, inclusive of
weekends and legal holidays, constitutes a waiver of the right to contest under subsection (a).
f. The civil violation penalty shall not be assessed if after a hearing, the hearing officer enters a finding
of no liability.
g. In an administrative adjudication hearing, the issues must be proved at the hearing by a

preponderance of the evidence. The reliability of the system used to produce the recorded image of
the violation may be attested to in an administrative adjudication hearing by affidavit of a law
enforcement officer or a representative of the Department, or by actual testimony by either of
them. An affidavit of a sworn law enforcement officer or representative of the Department, or
actual testimony by either of them, that alleges a civil violation occurred based on an inspection of the
pertinent recorded image is admissible in a proceeding under this article and is prima facie evidence
of those facts contained in the affidavit or testified to. Testimony by any person shall be taken under
oath or by affirmation, except to the extent such testimony is allowed by affidavit as provided above.
The person charged with the ordinance violation may present any relevant evidence and testimony at
such hearing.
h. Adjudication by mail.
(1) In cases where a person charged with a violation shows good cause for not attending a
hearing, either personally or through a representative, the hearing officer may permit the
matter to be adjudicated by mail which adjudication shall be made within 60 days of the date
of the citation. Letters, memoranda, affidavits, photographs or other documentary materials
shall be admissible as evidence for the purposes of adjudications by mail. The hearing officer
may exclude from consideration any material which is not relevant to the adjudication of the
alleged violation. Failure of the person charged to proceed with an adjudication by mail after
requesting and receiving permission to adjudicate by mail shall constitute an admission by
the person charged of liability of the violation and shall subject the person who requested the
adjudication by mail to the appropriate fines and costs assessed by the adjudication bureau.
(2) If a hearing examiner determines that an adjudication cannot proceed by mail, the
adjudication bureau shall advise the person charged by first class mail that he must appear to
answer the charge at a hearing.
i. It shall be an affirmative defense to the imposition of civil liability under this article, to be
proven by a preponderance of the evidence, that:
(1) The operator of the vehicle was acting in compliance with the lawful order direction of a law
enforcement or public safety officer;
(2) The operator of the vehicle violated the speed limit so as to move out of the way or an
immediately approaching authorized emergency vehicle;

authorized/assigned tasks;
(6) The vehicle was being operated during a bona fide medical emergency which is documented
with adequate and sufficient evidence from a medical care facility, as determined by the
Department;
(7) At the time of the violation, the vehicle was in the care, custody or control of another person:

mailing address of the person or entity who had the care, custody and control of the
vehicle at the time of the violation.

motor vehicle or the license plates of the motor vehicle involved were stolen or were
in the care, custody, and control of some person who did not have the owner's
permission to use the motor vehicle, or that the motor vehicle or license plates of the
motor vehicle were stolen before the violation occurred and were not under the control
or possession of the owner at the time of the violation. In order to demonstrate that the
motor vehicle or license plates were stolen before the violation occurred and were not
under the control or possession of the vehicle owner at the time of the violation, the
vehicle owner must submit proof that a police report, incident report/general offense
report about the stolen motor vehicle or license plates was filed prior to the violation
or within 48 hours after the violation occurred.
(c) As set forth in a document, or “Transfer of Liability,” signed and dated by the
person, or a representative of the entity, who had the care, custody and control of the
vehicle at the time of the violation, indicating his/her responsibility for the
violation and listing his/her name and mailing address. Responsibility for the
violation shall in such a case be transferred to the person identified in the
“Transfer of Liability.”
(d) The tender of a statement of “Transfer of Liability” shall be for the sole purpose of
identifying the person who is assuming responsibility for the violation
identified in the notice of civil violation, but all defenses that may be asserted by the
person alleged to be responsible are reserved and are not waived by the tender of such
document.
(e) As set forth in a lease, rental contract or other agreement listing the name and
mailing address of the person or entity who had the care, custody or control of the
leased or rented vehicle at the time of the violation. Responsibility for the
violation shall in such case be transferred to the lessee.

civil violation penalty or to contest liability is entitled to an administrative adjudication hearing on the
violation if:
(1) The person files an affidavit with the office stating the date on which the person received the
notice of civil violation mailed to the person; and

An ordinance authorizing the Mayor, to sell, December 15, 2020 SPAR
to Caddo Parish Communications District COUNCIL DISTRICT
Number One, a Political Subdivision of the E
State, surplus City-owned immovable SPONSOR
property (i.e. real property) and all Flurry
improvements thereon located at 2890
Southland Park Drive, Shreveport, Louisiana,
71118, commonly referred to as the former
Fire Station 17, and to otherwise provide
with respect thereto.
PURPOSE
This ordinance will grant the authority to the Mayor to sell, to Caddo Parish Communication District
Number One, a Political Subdivision of the State, surplus City-owned immovable property (i.e. real
property) and all improvements thereon at 2890 Southland Park Drive, Shreveport, Louisiana, 71118,
commonly referred to as the former Fire Station 17.
Resolution 136 of 2018 declared former Fire Station 17 located at 2890 Southland Park Drive,
Shreveport, Louisiana, 71118 as surplus property. During the public notice of surplusing the property
and planning the sale of the property it was discovered that Caddo Parish Communications District
Number One had a communication tower on a portion of the property and a long-term lease with the
City for the use of the land for the communication tower. The appraisal did not find that portion of the
site was owned by the City or the lease because that portion of the property was inaccurately listed as
owned by another entity with the Caddo Tax Assessor. In addition the Caddo Parish Communications
District One long-term lease provides for an easement to the tower through the main fire station
property. The City and Caddo Parish Communications District Number One agree that it is
advantageous for all parities if the Caddo Parish Communication District Number One purchase the
property pursuant to LSA-R.S. 33:1321 et seq,. the Local Services Law which authorizes the sale of
property by private sale between two public bodies without the necessity of advertising, bidding or
public auction This communication tower supports law enforcement and fire operations and will
remain in the public domain following its sale.
The City desires to now sell the former Fire Station 17 to Caddo Parish Communication District for the
purpose of providing greater economy and efficiency in the operation of local services and the benefits
of such services.

SUMMARY OF SALIENT FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Type of Analysis: Real Property Appraisal Analysis
Type of Report: Appraisal Report
Client: Caddo Parish Communications District Number One
Intended User(s): Mrs. Martha Carter and designated representatives with the Caddo Parish
Communications District Number One and designated representatives with the
City of Shreveport
Transmittal Date: January 22, 2020
Date of Property Visit: January 8, 2020
Effective Date of Value: January 8, 2020
Type of Value: Market Value
Interest Appraised: Full ownership, less minerals and subject to known easements, encroachments
and servitudes (aka Fee Simple)
Property Address: 2890 Southland Park Drive

Shreveport, LA
Location: The subject property is located on the south side of Southland Park Drive, east
of Mansfield Road and west of Normandie Drive.
Site Size: Total Site Area: 30,200 Square Feet 0.693 Acres
Tower Site (Leased for 78.63 more yrs. @ $0) -5,100 Square Feet -0.117 Acres
Net Usable Area 25,100 Square Feet 0.576 Acres
Improvements: The subject site is improved with a former residence that was converted for use
as the office and sleeping quarters for fire station #17 reportedly in the late
1960's. After purchasing the property, the building housing the two engine bays
was constructed and attached to the former residence.
Zoning: C-2; Corridor Commercial Zoning District
Highest and Best Use:

As Vacant: A commercial use, a retail use and/or a service related use which would
typically be found in this neighborhood.
As Improved: Commercial/service related use after a substantial renovation/rehabilitation is

undertaken
Exposure Period: If the subject property had been on the market preceding the date of value at a
price reasonably close to the value stated in this report, the expected exposure
period would have been 24 months or less. This is supported by my analysis of
the comparable improved sales in this report and my discussion of this type
property listing with knowledgeable real estate brokers.
SUMMARY OF SALIENT FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS (Continued)
Subject Property History: Sales within the past three years:

No sales noted; however, there is a land lease from the City of Shreveport to
the Caddo Parish Communications District Number One for the location of a
radio communications tower "for utilization by the public safety agencies of the
City of Shreveport and Caddo Parish, Louisiana;." The tower site contains
approximately 5,100 square feet and the perpetual access area contains
approximately 5,000 square feet in addition to the tower site. When combined,
the tower site and access easement encompass the southwestern 50' of the
subject site and the northwestern 20' of the subject site. The lease began on
September 1, 1999 with a 99-year term and there are approximately 78.63 years
remaining. Please refer to pages 41 and 48 for a visual depiction of the tower
site and access area. The monetary consideration for the lease is $0.00 annually.
Please refer to Exhibit “A” in the Addenda of this report for a copy of the lease.
Current Listing Information:

The subject property is not currently listed with a realtor, although it was
available for purchase through a sealed bid process. Based on information taken
from the City of Shreveport’s website, the subject property was declared surplus
property and advertised for a sealed bid auction on January 24, 2019, January
31, 2019 and February 7, 2019 and the bids were due back by February 14,
2019. The minimum bid was listed at $260,000. I called the Office of the
Purchasing Agent for the city to ask if they had received any bids. Renee in the
office said she would pull the file, review it, and call me back. Renee called
back and told me she did not see any evidence suggesting the city had received
any bids.
Current Owner:
City of Shreveport
(According to the Assessor Records)
Property Value Conclusions: I have analyzed the market value of the full ownership, less minerals and subject
to known easements, encroachments and servitudes (aka fee simple) of the
subject property as of January 8, 2020 and it is divided as follows:
Land Value: $50,000

Improvement Value: $65,000
Non-Realty: Not Appraised

SCOPE OF WORK
The subject of this appraisal includes the former fire station #17 located on a site containing 30,200 square feet.
Please refer to the "Description of the Site" and "Description of the Improvements" of this report for additional detail.
This real property appraisal analysis is based on the market value of the full ownership, less minerals and subject to
known easements, encroachments and servitudes (aka fee simple). It is my understanding this appraisal report will
be used to establish the market value for possible acquisition purposes.
In estimating the value of real property, there are three recognized approaches or techniques that can be implemented
for the valuation process. The three approaches are commonly known as:
A. The Cost Approach, wherein the value of the land, as vacant,

is estimated to which is added the depreciated value of the improvements.
B. The Income Approach, wherein the net income imputable to the property is
calculated and then capitalized into value using capitalization techniques considered
to be representative of the market place.
C. The Sales Comparison Approach, wherein the appraiser researches the market
for sales data considered to be highly comparable and significant to the property under
appraisal from which, by comparison of differences, one arrives at an indicated value.
In each case, when applicable, items such as excess land and deferred maintenance are considered.
The Cost Approach can serve as a relatively reliable indicator of value when the improvements are new and represent
the highest and best use of the land. When the improvements are older and suffer from a significant amount of
accrued depreciation, this approach becomes less reliable. In this analysis, the Cost Approach is considered less
reliable given the age and condition of the improvements which has resulted in a significant amount of accrued
depreciation. Therefore, the Cost Approach is not considered a relevant indicator of value in this analysis and as a
result, it will not be developed. Omission of the Cost Approach does not affect the credibility of the value conclusion
stated herein.
The Income Approach is a method of converting the anticipated economic benefits of owning property into a value
estimate through capitalization. Income-producing property is typically purchased for investment purposes and the
projected net income stream is the critical factor affecting its market value. A purchaser of income-producing real
estate is in effect spending a sum of present dollars for the right to a stream of future dollars. The principle of
"anticipation" underlying this approach is that prudent purchasers recognize a relationship between income and a
property's value. The Income Approach is not considered significant given the age, condition and functional features
of the improvements. I feel it is unlikely the subject property would be purchased by an investor to speculate on
rental income. For this reason, the Income Approach to Value is not considered applicable to the appraisal problem
and will not be developed. Omission of the Income Approach does not affect the credibility of the value conclusion
stated herein.
The estimate of market value for the land and improvements will be derived through the Sales Comparison Approach.
The Sales Comparison Approach involves direct comparison of the property being appraised to similar properties
that have sold in the same or in a similar market in order to derive a market value indication for the property being
appraised.
In the land valuation, I researched the area for land sales with the primary criteria used in selecting the comparables
being the zoning, the location and the size. All of the sales were compared and adjusted to the subject site based on
physical characteristics as discussed in the “Land Valuation” section of this report.
SCOPE OF WORK (Continued)
In valuing the subject property improvements by the Sales Comparison Approach to value, my research included
transfers of commercial/service related facilities in the local market. My initial source of information came from a
local data service with final verifications from the buyer, seller, appraiser or broker. My primary characteristic in
selecting the comparables was the property type, the date of sale, use, location, size and quality.
The subject property was visited on January 8, 2020 and an interior and exterior analysis was conducted for the
purpose of gathering information about the physical and functional characteristics of the subject property as they
relate to the valuation process. My visit to the property was limited to areas made available by the property
representative. No responsibility is assumed for the condition of any portion of the property whether viewed or not
viewed. My visit and observation of the subject property does not constitute a building inspection, a structural
inspection, or a pest inspection.
This real property appraisal analysis is not limited except as stated in the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions and
this report includes reasonably adequate support for the final value conclusion. This appraisal report is intended to
comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rules 2-1 and 2-2(a) of the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice
MARKET VALUE DEFINITION

"Market Value" is defined by the United States Treasury Department, Comptroller of the Currency 12 CFR part 34,
§34.42(f) as, "the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all
conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price
is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the
passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;

2. both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests;
3. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
4. payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable
thereto; and
5. the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative
financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale."

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
This real property appraisal analysis is made under the following assumptions and contingent conditions:
(1) This appraisal report sets forth all of the limiting conditions (imposed by the terms of my assignment or by the
undersigned) affecting the analyses, opinions and conclusions contained in the report;
(2) This Appraisal Report, including the accompanying analysis, is based on estimates, assumptions and other
information developed from my research of the market, knowledge of the industry and meetings during which
you and the client and property contact provided me with certain information. The sources of information
developed, and basis of the estimates and assumptions are stated in the body of this report. Some assumptions
inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur; therefore, actual
results achieved may vary from those described in the report. I have no responsibility to update this report
for events and circumstances occurring after the date of the report. Therefore, this appraiser warrants only
that the value conclusion is the appraiser's best opinion estimate as of the exact day of valuation based on
certain information developed and assumed in the process. The value of the real estate is affected by many
related and unrelated economic conditions both local and national. This appraiser assumes no liability for
the effect on this subject property of any unforeseen precipitous change in the economy. Economic events,
announcements and changes, legislative changes, catastrophic events, war etc. can affect value conclusions.
This appraisal has been prepared with a limited amount of data. Before relying on any statement, interested
parties should contact me for the exact extent of our data collection on any point they believe to be important
to their decision making. No responsibility has been assumed for the accuracy of the information provided
by third parties, i.e. government agencies, financial institutions, attorneys, accountants, etc., which is
assumed to be correct;
(3) No responsibility is here assumed for any matters which are legal, political, social, or economic which could
have an effect on real estate values when changes take place after the date of this valuation;
(4) To the best of my knowledge and belief the statements of fact contained in this appraisal report, upon which the
analyses, opinions and conclusions expressed herein are based, are true and correct, but I assume no
responsibility for the accuracy of such information as title information, measurements, survey, and other
information furnished by others as likewise comparable sales data furnished by the court records and the
principals involved in the various transactions;
(5) The appraiser reserves the right to alter statements, analyses, conclusions, or any value estimates in the
appraisal if there becomes known to me facts pertinent to the appraisal process which were unknown when
the report was prepared;
(6) Title to the property is assumed to be free and clear unencumbered, and there are no leases, easements, liens, or
other encumbrances on the property other than those listed in this report;
(7) A current "as built" survey may significantly affect the value estimate, and should be provided if not included
in this report, to verify data provided to the appraiser as stated herein;
(8) Any survey contained in this report is assumed to be true and correct, and it is also assumed that there are no
encroachments upon the property appraised except as noted herein. Any sketch prepared by the appraiser and
included in the report may show approximate dimensions and is included to assist the reader in visualizing the
property; however, the appraiser has not made a survey of the property;
(9) Any zoning maps and/or zoning regulations included with this report are assumed to be correct as of the date
of appraisal unless the appraiser has been otherwise notified by the client and/or subject property owner;
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS (Continued)
(10) This analysis assumes that any prior and/or future agreements allowing use of the surface by a third party for
the purpose of mineral exploration and/or production will not have an adverse effect on development of the
site as described herein, unless otherwise noted. If this assumption proves to be incorrect, the value stated in
this analysis will be subject to revision;
(11) The appraiser assumes that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the property, subsoil, or structures,
which would render it more or less valuable. The appraiser assumes no responsibility for such conditions or
for engineering which might be required to discover such factors. No advice is given regarding soils and
potential for settlement, drainage, and such. It was not possible to personally observe conditions beneath the
soil. The value estimate assumes there are no soil or subsoil conditions that would cause a loss of value. The
appraiser does not warrant against soil conditions, or occurrence of problems arising from soil conditions.
The appraisal is based upon the assumption that there are no hidden, unapparent or apparent conditions of
the soil or subsoil, except as noted that would render it more or less valuable. The appraiser assumes no
responsibility for any costs or consequences arising due to the need, or the lack of need, for flood hazard
insurance. An agent for the Federal Flood Insurance Program should be contacted to determine the actual
need for Flood Hazard Insurance;
(12) Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous materials, which may or may not be present
on the property, or in the vicinity, was not observed by the appraiser. The appraiser has no knowledge of the
existence of such materials on or in the property except as stated in this report. The appraiser, however, is not
qualified to detect such substances. The presence of substances such as asbestos, urea-formaldehyde foam
insulation, or other potentially hazardous materials may affect the value of the property. The value estimate is
based on the assumption that there is no such material on or in the property, or in the vicinity, that would cause
a loss in value. The appraiser has made no study to determine such conditions. No responsibility is assumed
for any such conditions, or for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. The client

own judgment and the decision process should consider many factors other than just the value estimate and
information given in this report;

REGIONAL AND LOCAL AREA ANALYSIS

For
SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER CITY
Geographic Location:
Shreveport-Bossier is a regional leader in business, industry, health care, and education, due in part to its geographic
location and metropolitan population. People from east Texas, south Arkansas, and north Louisiana look to these
cities for resources and necessities. Northwest Louisiana has also been established as a popular site for industry and
distribution because of the Port of Caddo-Bossier’s location on the J. Bennet Johnston Waterway (formerly known as
the Red River Waterway), part of a transportation network including water, rail, air, and interstate highways.
Shreveport-Bossier is situated on the crossing point of three major highways: Interstate Highway 20, Interstate
Highway 49, and Louisiana Highway 1. Interstate Highway 20 crosses through the center of the area; it connects
Shreveport and Bossier City with Dallas, Texas, to the west and Jackson, Mississippi, to the east. Interstate Highway
49 runs south through Shreveport from Texarkana, Arkansas, to Lafayette, Louisiana, and once completed, will run
north to Kansas City. Louisiana State Highway 1 crosses Interstate Highway 20 just south of the central business
district; it connects the city with Texarkana, Texas, to the north, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the state capitol, to the
south. Shreveport is located in Caddo Parish and is the parish seat. Bossier City is located in Bossier Parish; it is the
largest city in Bossier Parish.
The four basic factors which influence real estate value will be discussed in this section. Real estate markets result
from the actions of people as they respond to the environmental, governmental, social, and economic forces, which
affect real estate values in the Shreveport-Bossier Area.
The location of Shreveport-Bossier and surrounding cities is shown on the map below. Other city data is contained
in the following pages.
REGIONAL AND LOCAL AREA ANALYSIS (Continued)
Environmental Characteristics:
Shreveport and Bossier City are located in the northwestern section of Louisiana, approximately 30 miles south of
Arkansas and 15 miles east of Texas. Shreveport is situated along the west side of the Red River; Bossier City is
located along the east side of the river. Portions of both cities are situated in the Red River bottomlands, and the
remainder is on gently rolling hills that begin about one mile out from the river. Elevations in the Shreveport/Bossier
area range from approximately170 to 280 feet above sea level. The average temperature in January is 57 degrees
Fahrenheit, with an average temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit in July. The major natural resources in the area are
oil and gas, timber, and agricultural crops. The area is characterized by many lakes, which offer recreational activities,
such as hunting, fishing, and skiing.
In 2010, an estimated 199,311 people lived inside the Shreveport city limits with an additional 61,315 people within
the Bossier City limits. Compared to the 2000 Census, these figures show a decrease of less than 1% for Shreveport
and an approximate 8.6% increase for Bossier City. Bossier City is the home of Barksdale Air Force Base. Bossier
City is considered to be in the Shreveport Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA). The graph below shows the sixty-
year population trend for the area.

As illustrated in the graph, there was strong growth from the 1950's through the 1980's. However, from 1980 to 2000,
the city of Shreveport had less than a 1% increase in population while Bossier City had an 11.1% increase. The 2010
Census shows a slight decrease in Shreveport’s population from 200,145 in 2000 to an estimated 199,311 in 2010.
Bossier City’s population increased from a 56,461 Census count in 2000 to an estimated 61,315 in 2010. Shreveport's
stagnant population trend is felt to be the result of two factors, the first being the previous poor economy which caused
many people to leave the area in search of jobs, and the second being the desire of many residents to move out of the
inner city as a result of crime rates. Bossier City’s increase is felt to be the result of lower crime rates and a superior
school system.
Highway access to the Shreveport/Bossier area is good from the north, south, east and west. Interstate 20 connects
Shreveport-Bossier with Dallas, Texas, and other points west, and Jackson, Mississippi, and other points east. I-49
extends from Shreveport south to Lafayette, Louisiana, and north to Texarkana, Arkansas. I-49 provides good
north/south access and coupled with I-20 allows the area to be more conducive to distribution uses. Shreveport has
an extremely good intercity traffic thoroughfare system with two loops around the southern portion of the city and
one loop around the northern portion. The I-220 Inner Loop crosses the Red River and serves the northern portion of
Bossier City. The Clyde Fant Memorial Parkway completes the loop around the city of Shreveport. The Arthur Ray
Teague Parkway is a riverfront parkway in Bossier City that runs along the east side of the Red River.
Shreveport Regional Airport provides airline service for the Shreveport/Bossier City area. In 1998, Shreveport
Regional Airport began a $30 million upgrade. Upgrades included renovations of the existing terminals, new parking
areas, and a new $66,000 passenger terminal that opened in November 1999. Shreveport Regional Airport is a
designated small hub airport served by several airlines.
Shreveport Regional Airport is also home to AeroPark, an industrial park located on the southwest corner of the
airport. In 2009, a $7.5 million project was completed on two air cargo buildings at the airport. The buildings contain
approximately 56,000 square feet, and the complex serves as the anchor for the airport industrial and warehouse park.
A second airport closer to downtown Shreveport provides private service only.
Motor freight lines and comparatively inexpensive railroad services serve a very large overnight business population.
This large overnight service area is believed to be a good base for the area as a distribution center with I-49 and the
Red River navigation.
In October 1985, Shreveport was designated as a U.S. Customs Port of Entry. Positioned at the head of the J. Bennet
Johnston Waterway, the Port of Caddo-Bossier is a direct shipping gateway to national and international markets.
The Port of Caddo-Bossier is also a prime location for the development of industrial manufacturers and distributors,
as the Caddo-Bossier Port encompasses more than 2,300 acres of prime industrial real estate. It is also a multi-modal
transportation and distribution center and offers power, water, telecommunications, transportation, and other
infrastructure resources. The Port of Entry designation, the use of the Red River for barge transportation, the east/west
Interstate 20, and the north/south Interstate 49 make Shreveport-Bossier a competitive distribution center. This is
part of a diversification of industry for the city in an effort to be less dependent on the oil and gas industry.
The Red River is navigable from Shreveport-Bossier to New Orleans, and the Port facilities are complete. The Port
added rail operations in 1999. Since the first load of cargo passed through its docks in 1995, The Port has handled
more than 9 million tons of barge freight and over 8 million tons of rail freight. The Shreveport/Bossier area has a
competitive edge in both domestic and international trade, due to its being served by the designated Customs Port of
Entry at the Shreveport Regional Airport and the Foreign Trade Zone at the Port of Caddo-Bossier. Shreveport-
Bossier's physical aspects--location, size, climate, and access-- should help ensure future growth, which would have
a positive effect on property values.
Electricity, natural gas, and telephone service are provided for the area by private utility companies, each of which
has regional offices in Shreveport.
Governmental Characteristics:
Shreveport and Bossier City's city administration is a mayor-council form of government. The mayor serves at large
while the city council members are elected to represent each district. The mayor-council form of government means
that the council serves as the legislative branch and the mayor serves as chief executive officer.
The City of Shreveport has 7 city council members with one member being elected from each of the seven districts.
The City of Bossier has 7 city council members with one member being elected from each of the five districts and
two Council-At-Large members.
The Bossier Parish Policy Jury is made up of 12 districts throughout the parish, each of which is represented by a
Police Juror. The Parish of Caddo operates on a 12-member commission/administrator form of government. The
commissioners are elected from 12 districts, and they serve a four-year term.
The sales tax currently applicable in Shreveport is 9.05% (4.45% State, 2.75% City, 1.5% School Board, .35% Law
Enforcement) and in Bossier City is 9.45% (4.45% State, 2.5% City, 1.75% School Board, 0.5% Police Jury, 0.25%
Law Enforcement).
Residential property assessments are computed at 10% of the fair market value. A Homestead Exemption of $75,000
is allowed in Louisiana, provided the homeowner lives on the premises. Commercial and industrial property
assessments are based on 10% of the market value for land and 15% for improvements. The historical millage rates
are shown on the graph below:

The residential property taxes for the area, as well as the state, are considered low compared to other parts of the
country, due to the homestead exemption. Commercial rates are similar to those of surrounding states. The Bossier
Parish millage rates vary depending on districts; a meaningful trend could not be established.
The Downtown Development Authority has taken significant steps in renewing interest in the city's Central Business
District. In the early to mid-1970's, retail businesses began moving to suburban shopping malls, leaving the
downtown area with a high vacancy rate. Through tax incentives for certain historic properties, a great deal of
renovation took place in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. Six modern multi-story office buildings have been
completed since 1980. Other downtown developments include the opening of the Sci-Port Discovery Center and
IMAX Dome Theater in November 1998. In November 2006, the $11.6 million, 25,000 square foot Sci-Port Space
Center opened, featuring hands-on exhibits in space science, astronomy, and math. The Space Dome Interactive
Planetarium is a state-of-the-art, 40-foot domed digital planetarium featuring a 16-million-pixel laser projection
system that provides bright, sharp images of planets, galaxies, nebulae, and stars. Sci-Port’s exterior and interior
exhibits underwent alterations and re-invention in the Fall/Winter of 2017. The Shreveport Aquarium, located in the
former Barnwell Center on Clyde Fant Parkway, opened in late 2017. The aquarium features interactive displays and
a touch tank where visitors can feel sting rays and sharks and learn how these animals adapt and survive in their
environments. There is a restaurant on site named SALT - Sea, Air, Land, and Time. The restaurant features riverside
and indoor seating, an oyster bar and a cocktail bar. Artspace can be found in the West Edge Arts District; it is
Shreveport’s first Arts Center and features art exhibits, poetry readings, and music concerts.
In March 2000, city and parish government offices moved downtown to the N. O. Thomas Plaza building, which is
now named Government Plaza. The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is promoting buildings that could be
renovated into residential property. The arts and antiques district (West Edge) is located in the western part of
downtown. The Red River Entertainment District, home to several restaurants, is located in Downtown Shreveport,
adjacent to the Red River.
In general, the political climate of the area is considered favorable. Local business groups work closely with the
government to promote diversification of the economic base to insure future growth. Both Shreveport and Bossier
have diversified in an effort to become less dependent on the oil and gas industry than they were in the 1970’s and
1980’s.
Social Characteristics:
The Shreveport Bossier MSA has numerous public schools serving kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as
private/parochial schools. Caddo Parish Magnet schools, which maintain admission standards, include fundamental
skills schools at the elementary level, and academic and performing arts schools at the elementary, middle, and high
school level. Vo-Tech courses are offered at the Caddo Center for high school juniors and seniors.
The Shreveport-Bossier area has several higher education opportunities. The LSU Health Sciences Center at
Shreveport, a post graduate institution, includes the School of Medicine, the School of Allied Health Professions, and
the School of Graduate Studies. The neighboring hospital, Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, serves as the school’s
principle teaching facility. Northwestern State University of Louisiana has a nursing campus in Shreveport. Louisiana

(BPCC) was founded in 1966 and offers associate degrees, certificates, technical diplomas, and courses that will
transfer. In addition to degree programs, BPCC promotes workforce training, continuing education, and pre-GED
preparation. There are several technical schools within the Shreveport/Bossier area, including Northwest Louisiana
and Technical Community College, The Bossier Parish School of Technology and Innovative Learning, Caddo Career
and Technology Center, and Ayers Technical College.
Patients from a three-state area turn to Shreveport-Bossier for major medical treatment. In addition to Ochsner LSU
Health Shreveport, there are several hospitals in the area, including Christus Schumpert Hospitals, Willis-Knighton
Medical Centers, Overton-Brooks Veterans Medical Center, Promise Hospital, Cornerstone Hospital, Shriners
Hospital for Children-Shreveport, and Brentwood Hospital.
The Christus Schumpert Health System, a Catholic nonprofit system, oversees several facilities in the
Shreveport/Bossier area. In 1997, Christus Schumpert Highland underwent an $18.8 million renovation, which
included a new emergency department, along with upgraded and expanded cardiac units. In the same year, Christus
Schumpert Health System opened its $8 million Schumpert Bossier Healthplex on Viking Drive, with a 10,000 square
foot expansion to the Healthplex opening in 2018. The expansion houses the region’s first “micro-hospital,” which
includes emergency rooms and half a dozen short-stay inpatient rooms. The center provides around the clock access
to physicians, laboratory testing, and imaging services, and can accommodate patients with emergency illnesses of
all kinds, including heart attacks, strokes, or trauma.
In 2013, Christus Schumpert announced the closure of its St. Mary Campus, followed by a $55 million expansion of
the Highland Campus. In June 2017, Christus Health announced the donation of the St. Mary Place campus, which
had been vacant since the 2013 closure, to Margaret Place Properties, a nonprofit organization. In July 2017, Christus
Health Northern Louisiana and LSU Health representatives announced plans to open the campus as an integrated
health care campus, featuring expanded patient care services, pharmaceutical research, and clinical trials, in addition
to enhancing the educational experience of LSU Health Shreveport students.
The Willis Knighton Health System is the largest healthcare organization in North Louisiana. It is the only locally
owned, locally operated health system in the Shreveport/Bossier metropolitan area. Willis Knighton Health System
includes Willis Knighton Medical Center, Willis Knighton South, Willis Knighton Bossier Health Center, Willis
Knighton Pierremont Health Center, and the Willis Knighton Rehabilitation Institute. In 2007, Live Oak Retirement
Community merged with Willis Knighton to provide for the needs of seniors in the community. Willis Knighton’s
overall retirement initiative is The Oaks of Louisiana, with Live Oak as an integral part. Live Oak includes
independent living apartments and a health center with skilled nursing.
The Overton-Brooks VA Medical Center was built in 1947 and serves veterans residing in fifteen northeast Texas
counties, five southwestern Arkansas counties, and twelve northwest Louisiana parishes. Brentwood Hospital is the
largest psychiatric hospital in the state. Numerous nursing homes and assisted living facilities serve the area as well.
Four network affiliated television stations, one public broadcasting station, and cable television serve Shreveport-
Bossier and the surrounding area. The Shreveport Little Theater and the Marjorie Lyons Play House offer live
performances, as does the Shreveport Symphony, the Strand Theatre, the Shreveport Opera, and the Shreveport
Metropolitan Ballet. The Robinson Film Center provides a venue for independent, international and classic cinema.
It also offers film and media production classes and serves as a resource for film production.
The Shreveport/Bossier area has numerous houses of worship representing Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish faiths,
among others.
Recreational facilities in the area include private country clubs and public golf courses, as well as numerous
neighborhood parks and public baseball and softball fields. Independence Stadium is the home field for the annual
nationally televised Independence Bowl. Hirsch Memorial Coliseum, built in the late 1930’s, is a Shreveport
landmark. This multi-purpose arena has hosted many events, including the 2018 Miss USA Pageant; it has also hosted
musical legends such as Elvis Presley. Located next to Independence Stadium, Hirsch Coliseum is currently home to
the Shreveport Mudbugs, an NAHL Junior Hockey League team. In 2000, Bossier City opened the $56.5 million
CenturyLink Center. The CenturyLink Center is a 270,000 square foot facility, which can seat 14,000.
Many festivals benefit the Shreveport/Bossier area by boosting the economy through dollars spent not only on the
festivals themselves, but also at local hotels, restaurants, retailers, and other attractions. Festival Plaza is located
between Spring and Market Streets in downtown Shreveport and is the location of numerous festivals that are held
each year, such as the Red River Revel, Holiday in Dixie, and Mudbug Madness. The Louisiana State Fair is held in
Shreveport each fall at the State Fairgrounds in Shreveport. Numerous smaller festivals also take place throughout
the year.
A significant change that aided in diversifying the Shreveport-Bossier economy was the opening of riverboat casinos.
The first boat opened in April 1994, with two others following shortly thereafter. Currently, 6 riverboat casinos
operate in Shreveport-Bossier. Because of riverboat gaming, the area’s economic and social vitality have
strengthened even more, making Shreveport-Bossier a popular tourist destination. This activity is a direct benefit to
hotels, retail establishments, convention business, and the housing market.
The 350,000 square foot Shreveport Convention Center, which opened in 2005, is located along two blocks of Caddo
Street in downtown Shreveport. The $100 million convention center is the largest capital project in the city’s history.
The project includes an adjoining $52 million, 12-story, 313-room Hilton Hotel, which opened in June 2007.
Riverview, Shreveport’s $12.5 million riverfront recreation area, features the $6 million Riverview Park developed
by the City of Shreveport with assistance from the Red River Waterway Commission. Across the river on the Bossier
City banks, the 600,000 square foot Louisiana Boardwalk Outlet Mall includes numerous retail stores, a Bass Pro
Shops Outdoor World, and two of the riverfront’s six casinos. The $200 million project includes outlet shops, an
entertainment district, trolleys, a carousel, and a parking garage. In 2010, a 128-room Courtyard by Marriott opened
at the southern end of the Boardwalk. In March 2012, developers of the Margaritaville Resort Casino officially broke
ground on a $197 million casino and hotel, which opened in June 2013 at the northern end of the Boardwalk.

The Shreveport/Bossier area has diversified its economic base in order to be less dependent on the oil and gas industry
than it was in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Instead of relying on the oil and gas industry, Shreveport-Bossier has diversified
with the medical, entertainment, and manufacturing industries leading the way. The local economy had been severely
affected by the downturn in the oil and gas industry in the mid-1980’s. Major employers in the area include federal,
state, and local government, medical, entertainment, transportation industries, and the manufacturing community,
including the oil industry. With a good north to south transportation link, Shreveport is now able to be more
competitive with other sunbelt cities for new industries. One of the major steps in attracting new industry was the
designation of Shreveport-Bossier as a U.S. Customs Port of Entry.
One area in which Shreveport-Bossier is becoming a potential leader is that of Research and Technology. After the
area’s economic downturn in the 1980’s, the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce created the Biomedical Research
Foundation (BRF). The establishment of BRF of Northwest Louisiana in 1986 has enhanced the region’s scientific
capacity and economic development. The BRF opened its first research facility, the Virginia K. Shehee Biomedical
Research Institute, in February 1994. This 160,000 square foot, ten-story facility contains state-of-the-art labs and
houses researchers, technicians, and support personnel working towards discovering cures for diseases, including
cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s. The Institute is connected with LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport.
The Virginia K. Shehee Biomedical Research Institute was not only the first research facility opened by BRF, but it
was also the first facility in the InterTech Science Park. The BRF initiated the formation of the InterTech Science
Park (InterTech), an 800-acre science and technology park in central Shreveport. InterTech’s facilities include
pharmaceutical, medical, digital and research companies, as well as other emerging industries.
Barksdale Air Force Base (BAFB) is located in the southern portion of Bossier City and has been an integral part of
the area since its dedication in 1933. It is the largest employer in the area and a major source of revenue for the
region with a workforce of approximately 15,000 military and civilian employees. This permanent base covers
22,000 acres; it is one of the largest air bases in the United States. BAFB is the headquarters of the Eighth Air Force
and the Air Force Global Strike Command and home to the 2nd Bomb Wing and the 307th Bomb Wing.
In June 2009, it was announced that Barksdale Air Force Base would be the home to the Global Strike Command.
Air Force Global Strike Command is responsible for organizing, training, and equipping ICBM forces, B-2 and B-52
bomber forces, and other deterrence capabilities to conduct operations. The Bossier City Council voted unanimously
on September 18, 2007, to purchase land in the 6200 block of East Texas Street for the Cyber Innovation Center.
The acreage, located north of Barksdale Air Force Base, is in close proximity to the Louisiana Optical Network
Initiative Line (LONI) and adjacent to Bossier Parish Community College. Bossier City, with the assistance of state
and local officials, set in motion the creation of the $100 million Cyber Innovation Center to complement the proposed
Air Force Cyber Command. The $100 million needed to develop the facility came from city, parish, and state sources.
The building’s design incorporates office space, classrooms, meeting rooms, and a 450,000+ square foot high-security
Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, or “SCIF” space, for classified computers, meetings, and labs. The
building is designed to meet enhanced standards for resistance to explosions and attacks by devices such as hand-
held weapons and vehicle bombs. These features are major draws for high-tech companies in need of strict security
requirements for government projects. They also complement the addition of the Global Strike Command at
Barksdale Air Force Base by supporting military and other government research and contracting other than cyber.
On January 17, 2012, the City of Bossier City enacted an ordinance creating the National Cyber Overlay District,
which sets forth development and use guidelines for the National Cyber Research Park (NCRP). The guidelines
created for the district are intended to serve as a guide for optimal growth and development, ensuring that it is a
continuing asset to Bossier City. The NCRP includes 2,462 acres and promotes new, innovative development for
advancing technology, progress, and research. The guidelines set forth minimum criteria to ensure proper
development while encouraging a campus-type setting that incorporates a variety of land uses and promotes
excellence in design and construction. These guidelines also protect tenants from undesirable and improper uses that
would detract from the purpose of the NCRP. The NCRP also includes a 603-acre commercial district that allows
more traditional commercial development.
In February 2014, CSRA selected Bossier City as the location of their new technology center, following a competitive
site-selection process of 134 national locations. The 116,000 square foot facility was constructed and subsequently
leased to CSRA. CSRA officially opened its Integrated Technology Center (ITC) on November 15, 2016, marking
the completion of the two-year development project. In 2018, CSRA was purchased by General Dynamics
Information Technology.
Phase I of development of the NCRP includes a 64-acre tract of land and consists of four buildings. The Cyber
Innovation Center (CIC) and General Dynamics (formerly CSRA’s Integrated Technology Center) are currently
occupied. The Bossier Parish Community College STEM Building opened in Fall 2017, and it houses all of BPCC’s
science, nursing, and allied health programs. A fourth building, the Louisiana Tech Research Institute (LTRI), is in
the design phase.
Manufacturers in the Shreveport/Bossier area are quite diverse. Frymaster Corporation is an international
manufacturer of food service equipment. They supply deep-fat fryers and related stainless-steel food preparation
equipment to fast food chains, such as McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken. MB Industries designs, engineers,
manufactures, and delivers buildings that protect against explosions, ballistics, chemical releases, projectiles, fires,
forced entry, noise, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes. MB Industries consolidated all their domestic
manufacturing facilities to the Shreveport facility. Libbey is a glassware company and one of the largest tableware
suppliers in the world. They design, produce, and market tableware, including glassware, ceramic dinnerware, metal
flatware, hollowware, serve ware and home décor items. Sabre Industries (formerly CellXion) provides equipped
shelters and towers for telecommunications. Located in Bossier City, their facilities include a state-of-the-art shelter
manufacturing plant, a steel fabrication facility, and an equipment installation facility. The equipment installation
facility offers factory installation and testing of power and radio cell-site equipment.
Pratt Industries Paper Mill and Recycling facility opened a 100% recycled containerboard mill at the Port of Caddo-
Bossier in late 2008. Pratt Industries is America’s 6th largest paper and packaging company. The mill produces
recycled paper and in partnership with the City of Shreveport, Pratt launched a curbside recycling campaign in June
2008.
Benteler Steel constructed a $900 million facility at The Port of Caddo-Bossier. It includes a seamless steel tube mill
(Phase One) and a steel mill (Phase Two). The project was built on 330 acres; it is one of the largest manufacturing
projects in Northwest Louisiana’s history. Benteler, a German manufacturing company, produces tubes utilized in
the exploration of oil and gas. Benteler began construction of the first phase in 2013. Together, the two phases
encompass approximately 1.35 million square feet. Plant operations at the Benteler steel/tube plant began in August
2015, with 325 employees. The Port of Caddo-Bossier also has numerous other tenants at its industrial park.
Agribusiness is a significant contributor to the area’s overall economy with cotton being the number one row crop
enterprise in northwest Louisiana. Forestry, however, is the largest agricultural commodity. Beef cattle are the largest
animal enterprise in the Shreveport/Bossier area. Pecans and fruit crops, such as peaches and blueberries, are also
harvested in northwest Louisiana.
The Louisiana Downs Racetrack in Bossier City opened in late 1974. Louisiana Downs had historically been one of
the most successful major racetracks in the United States. However, with the approval of off-track betting and the
Louisiana Lottery, the average attendance and handle had declined. In 2002, a 95% controlling interest in Louisiana
Downs was acquired by Harrah’s Entertainment, Incorporated, and the Louisiana Gaming Board unanimously
approved the track’s petition to add slot machines to its gaming fare.
Harrah’s Louisiana Downs casino facility has 150,000 square feet of gaming, featuring over 800 slot machines. The
casino also includes multiple plasma screen televisions featuring live and simulcast racing from across the country.
The casino facility is connected to the existing racetrack by an enclosed entryway and features several restaurants.
The Shreveport Regional Airport Industrial Park has 800 acres of land for development and is owned by the
Shreveport Regional Airport Authority. The Shreveport/Bossier area also has numerous other public and privately-
owned Industrial Parks, including The Port of Caddo-Bossier, Shreve Park Industrial Campus, West Shreveport
Industrial Park, Ruben E. White Industrial Park, and Viking Drive Industrial Park.

The Shreveport/Bossier area is well represented by many financial institutions with numerous branch locations. The
final economic indicator for the area is the construction activity, which is measured by the number and dollar volume
of construction permits. The important categories are single-family, apartments, townhouses, and commercial
permits. When comparing 2014 to 2015, the total value of building permits issued in Bossier City decreased by
approximately 18.3% and Shreveport decreased by approximately 20.91%. These figures, however, are not all
inclusive. Economic incentives for certain projects waive permit fees, thereby leaving those projects out of the
construction count. Federal commercial construction projects are also not included. In single-family home
construction for 2015, the number of permits issued in Shreveport increased by approximately 5.61%, while Bossier
City had an 8.7% decrease over the past year. The charts on the following pages summarize the history of building
activity for Shreveport and Bossier City.
Conclusion:
During the 1985-1995 economic decline, local officials realized the importance of diversifying the economic base to
lessen dependence on the oil and gas industry. Efforts have been made to promote the area as a distribution center
due to the location of I-20, I-49 and the Red River Port. These efforts, the legalization of river boat gambling, and
the improved economic conditions laid the groundwork for the current economic recovery. In the real estate sector,
the single-family residential market remains strong, and there are several owner-occupied and/or build-to-suit
commercial and industrial properties under construction.
When comparing permit figures from 2017 to 2018, Bossier City had a total of 269 commercial permits issued with
an estimated value of $150,174,334 in 2017, compared to 282 commercial permits with an estimated value of
$59,587,075 in 2018. Bossier City issued 656 residential permits in 2017 with an estimated value of $59,484,457 in
2017, compared to 602 permits valued at $55,808,113 in 2018. Shreveport had 177 commercial permits issued in
2017, with an estimated value of $70,734,516 in 2017 and 436 residential permits issued with an estimated value of
$56,836,691. In 2018, Shreveport had approximately 199 commercial permits with an estimated value of
$164,220,358 and 547 residential permits valued at approximately at $61,842,887. It should be noted the 2018 figures
for Shreveport for the month of October were unavailable. The previous figures may not be all inclusive. Economic
incentives for certain projects waive permit fees, thereby leaving those projects out of the construction count. Federal
commercial construction projects are also not included.
Key economic indicators, such as retail sales and employment, are a good measure of economic trends. Retail sales
remained steady for the Shreveport/Bossier area when comparing 2018 to 2017. In 2017, Shreveport had $4.3 billion
in sales, and they remained steady at 4.5 billion in 2018. Bossier City had retail sales of $1.9 billion in 2017, and
they also remained steady at $1.9 billion in 2018. Retail sales are calculated from sales tax collections.
The average unemployment rate in the Shreveport-Bossier MSA fluctuated between 4.2% and 6.5% throughout 2018,
with a preliminary average of 5.2% for the year. Louisiana averaged a preliminary 4.8% unemployment rate for
2018. According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, the January 2019 unemployment rate for the Shreveport-Bossier
MSA was 5.4%.
There are six riverboat casinos in the Shreveport-Bossier area. The first boat opened in April 1994, with two others
following shortly thereafter. The fourth boat, located just south of the I-20 Red River Bridge, opened in 1996. The
fifth boat was the Hollywood Casino (now the El Dorado Resort Casino), which opened for business on December
20, 2000. In March 2012, the developers of the Margaritaville Resort Casino officially broke ground for the area’s
sixth casino, which opened in June 2013. The 2018 casino admissions for the entire market decreased over the
previous year. Admission figures for 2018 were reported at 8,388,973 compared to 8,566,683 in 2017. The adjusted
gross revenues increased slightly with a reported $686,145,828 in 2018 and $678,919,423 in 2017.
As the figures show, the economic indicators vary from year to year, but when considering the historical trend for
several years, the local economy has remained stable. The long-term overall economic outlook for Shreveport-
Bossier is expected to remain stable, and improvement should come through diversification of employers,
improvement of the interstate traffic arteries, and the ability to attract more major clean air industries.

LOCATION MAP
MARKET AREA ANALYSIS
Definition:
"A portion of a larger community, or an entire community, in which there is a homogenous grouping of inhabitants,
buildings, business enterprises or land use trends."
Neighborhood Location:
The subject property is located on the south side of Southland Park Drive, east of Mansfield Road and west of
Normandie Drive. The subject neighborhood is well-located with respect to both intercity and intracity traffic links.
The subject neighborhood has good access to all areas of Shreveport. The Inner Loop and Industrial Loop are within
the neighborhood and both provide good accessibility to east and west Shreveport. Mansfield Road (US Highway
71) is a major artery for north/south traffic through Shreveport and goes south to Southwest Louisiana. The I-
49/Industrial Loop intersection is located approximately 4 miles northeast of the subject property and was completed
in November, 1989. This opened interstate highway travel for the Shreveport city limits to Lafayette, Baton Rouge,
and New Orleans. I-49, north to I-20, is now complete and this will enhance the subject property neighborhood's
access to the Central Business District.
Neighborhood Boundaries:
The subject neighborhood is irregular shaped, and the boundaries are summarized as follows:
NORTH - Hollywood Avenue

SOUTH - City Limits
EAST - I-49
WEST - Buncombe Road
Primary Traffic Arteries:

Major traffic arteries which bisect the subject neighborhood and its vicinity are as follows:
East to West - Hollywood Avenue

West 70th Street
Inner Loop
Bert Kouns Industrial Loop (aka Industrial Loop)
North to South - Mansfield Road / Hearne Avenue (aka US Hwy 171)

Linwood Avenue
I-49
Access To Other Areas of the City:

The subject neighborhood is well-located with respect to both intercity and intracity traffic links and access to all
areas of Shreveport is considered adequate. I-20 provides good east/west travel and the Inner Loop and Industrial
Loop are within the neighborhood and both provide good accessibility for the west and southwest areas of Shreveport.
The Industrial Loop turns east, just south of GM Boulevard and extends across the entire southern portion of the city.
The Inner Loop, which is a limited access freeway, provides excellent east/west travel in south Shreveport and becomes
the I-220 Loop which serves north Shreveport. Pines Road extends from the Industrial Loop north to Cross Lake
providing good access within the neighborhood. Mansfield Road (US Highway 171) is a major artery for north/south
traffic through Shreveport and goes south to Southwest Louisiana. I-49 extends from Alexandria, Louisiana north to
I-20 and its opening has resulted in the relocation of some traffic along Mansfield Road, especially traffic from
Central and South Louisiana. The Industrial Loop provides good access to I-20 which in turn allows for good
east/west travel throughout the city and the state.
MARKET AREA ANALYSIS (Continued)
Historical Development:
Initial construction in the area occurred in the early to mid-1900’s and was residential and industrial in nature. The
first areas to experience development were in the north portion of the neighborhood along Hollywood Avenue
between Linwood Avenue and Monkhouse Drive. These residential neighborhoods are known as Hollywood, Garden
Valley and Caddo Heights. As growth continued, the neighborhood developed in a southerly direction with the
majority of the commercial and retail development being along Mansfield Road and Jewella Avenue and the
residential development being on secondary traffic arteries. In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, the area around 70th
Street and Mansfield Road began to develop with commercial and retail uses to serve the residential development in
the immediate area.
The southern portion of the neighborhood began developing in the 1950’s and 1960’s as a result of the location of
the AT&T plant on Mansfield Road at Williamson Way. The area south of the Industrial Loop is known as Summer
Grove and Southern Hills and it developed primarily to serve the industry in the area. Residential and commercial
properties developed rapidly in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s when employment at AT&T reached an all-time high
of approximately 7,500 people. Commercial and retail development near the intersection of Mansfield Road and
Jewella Avenue developed to serve the expanding residential market. However, in the mid to late 1980’s, the oil and
gas prices began to decline which coincided with numerous layoffs at the AT&T plant and economic conditions
began to deteriorate. With the downturn of the economy, the residential and commercial market in the neighborhood
were negatively affected through the early 1990’s.
The General Motors plant completed a major expansion to begin production of the Hummer H3 and H3T as well as the
Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon pick-up trucks. However, with the rise in fuel prices and the downturn in the
automotive industry, GM announced the closing of the second shift in September 2008, resulting in a work force of
just over 1,000. Then, in 2009, General Motors announced the Shreveport plant would close by June 2012 at the
latest. GM gave up the property in 2009 as part of its Chapter II bankruptcy reorganization and then leased it back
from the trust until it stopped production in 2012.
The facility was sold to Caddo’s Industrial Development Board with the intention of being leased to IRG, who will
be assisting an ultra-small carmaker named Elio Motors in setting up operations and subleasing the remaining space.
Elio plans to use one million square feet of the 1.8 million square feet of property to manufacture three-wheeled high-
mileage, low cost vehicles. Officials anticipated production would start in early 2015, however, it has been delayed
indefinitely due to the lack of the automaker’s ability to secure venture capital.
Recent Construction:
One of the more active areas has been in the medical and retail uses centered around the intersection of Jewella at the
Inner Loop and along Bert Kouns Industrial Loop just east of Mansfield Road. Several medical offices have been
constructed near Willis-Knighton South, which is on Bert Kouns Industrial Loop, east of Mansfield Road. Recent
construction in close proximity to this intersection includes a Sonic Drive-in, a Walgreens drug store, a CVS drug
store, a dry cleaner location and a branch bank.
Other development along Industrial Loop includes numerous retail and service-related uses near the intersection of
Bert Kouns Industrial Loop and Kingston Road. Recent construction near this intersection includes a retail
motorcycle outlet, two quick lubes, a furniture store, a carwash, a Dollar General store as well as several others.
Development along Mansfield Road between Bert Kouns Industrial Loop and the Inner Loop includes Podnuh’s
Restaurants, Barnhill Buffet and Applebee’s Restaurants. Additionally, a Lowe’s Supercenter was built in the same
area, as well as a retail tire store and quick oil change facility.
Other development along Industrial Loop includes numerous retail and service-related uses along Mansfield Road
and Bert Kouns Industrial Loop. A few of the more recent developments along Mansfield Road, both north and south
of Bert Kouns Industrial Loop, includes a Wal-Mart Supercenter, a Carl Jr’s, Anytime Fitness, a climate control
storage facility, Boomerang Carwash, Chicken Express and O’Reilly’s Autoparts.
The area at the intersection of Pines Road and I-20 has experienced new development in recent years. New uses
include a Wal-Mart Supercenter, a Home Depot, an Ivan Smith Furniture Store, a CVS Pharmacy, a Kentucky Fried
Chicken, Cracker Barrel Restaurant, Wendy’s Restaurant, Shell C-Store, a Fairfield Inn, a Shoney’s Inn, a Courtyard
by Marriot, a La Quinta Inn and numerous other hotels and restaurants.
“Shreve Park” is a 492-acre public development which is located on the west side of the Inner Loop, just south of
West 70th Street. This development targets research and development firms as well as clean air manufacturers. The
first two tenants included Frymaster and the Louisiana Tech Micro Manufacturing project. Ivan Smith Furniture
constructed their main distribution facility within the park and Tire Rack constructed a distribution facility within the
park. There have been several office/warehouse uses developed along the Industrial Loop, south of I-20.
Predominant Land Uses:

Based on a physical inspection of the neighborhood, land uses in this area are as follows:
Retail, 15%
Vacant Land, 25%
Commercial, 15%
Industrial, 5%
Multi-Family, 5%
Residential, 35%
Land Uses In The Immediate Area:

The subject property is bound on the northwest by a retail autoparts store and on the southeast by the Louisiana
Department of Motor Vehicles facility. There are two small office buildings along the southeast boundary and there
is an unoccupied gasoline/ convenience store located across Southland Park Drive, northwest of the subject property.
Availability of Public Utilities:

The majority of the subject property neighborhood is adequately served by all public utilities and services. However,
the outlying areas in the southwest portion of the neighborhood still depend on private water and sewer systems.
Community Facilities:
The subject property neighborhood is well-served by all community facilities including police and fire protection,
public and private schools, houses of worship, medical facilities and recreational facilities. Willis-Knighton South
hospital and the Center for Women’s Health are both located on the Industrial Loop, just east of Mansfield Road.
There are approximately nine parks located throughout the neighborhood and South Park Mall (now owned by
Summer Grove Baptist Church) is located at the intersection of Jewella Avenue and the Inner Loop. Shreveport
Regional Airport is located in the northwest portion of the neighborhood on Hollywood Avenue at Monkhouse Drive.
Parking:
Street side parking along major traffic arteries such as Mansfield Road, Industrial Loop, the Inner Loop and Jewella
Avenue is not allowed. However, street side parking is allowed on secondary streets which consist primarily of
residential uses. Commercial properties must provide adequate on-site parking based on zoning requirements.
Public Transportation:
The subject neighborhood is well served by municipal bus transportation; however, this is not considered to be a
significant factor in this analysis.
Major Employers:
Major employment centers which affect the subject property neighborhood include Willis-Knighton Medical Center,
Libbey Glass and commercial/retail uses located on Mansfield Road and Jewella Avenue.
Conclusion:
The subject property neighborhood is located in southwest Shreveport with the north boundary being Hollywood
Avenue, the east boundary being I-49 and the west boundary being Buncombe Road. The neighborhood originally
developed from the north and continued developing in a southerly direction as business and industry located in this
area. The most recent development has been along Mansfield Road and Bert Kouns Industrial Loop in the vicinity
of the Willis-Knighton South Medical Center. The location of the AT&T plant in the area historically had benefited
the residential market, however, in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s lay-offs caused the residential activity in this
neighborhood to decline.
Due to other more popular retail areas recently being developed in southeast Shreveport and north Bossier in the late
1990’s and early 2000, the subject neighborhood had been losing large retailers at a rapid rate. The former South
Park Mall, which is located in the central portion of the neighborhood, was vacated by all four of the anchor tenants
and most of the small tenants. Summer Grove Baptist Church purchased the mall in 2003 and they have moved their
house of worship into a portion of the facility. Sam’s Wholesale Club moved their Jewella Avenue store to Youree
Drive in southeast Shreveport. Wal-Mart closed their Jewella Avenue store and constructed a SuperCenter on
Mansfield Road near the former AT&T Plant. The AT&T Plant has closed and was purchased by an investor to be
leased to warehouse and distribution tenants.
A property owner’s association was formed to address the exodus of retailers and employers from the neighborhood
as well as crime and other neighborhood concerns. It appears the neighborhood is beginning to reverse the previous
exodus of retailers based on the recent developments and announcements. The infrastructure is conducive to retail
uses due to the good ingress and egress to the neighborhood created by several major traffic arteries located in the
area.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE (Continued)
Nuisances & Hazards:

A general inspection of the neighborhood noted no significant adverse conditions which would affect the subject or
the area. This analysis assumes there are no adverse effects from any environmental issues, however, neither a current
on-site nor off-site Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other possible hazard studies were provided to the
appraiser.
Easements, Encroachments, Etc.:

There is a land lease from the City of Shreveport to the Caddo Parish Communications District Number One for the
location of a radio communications tower "for utilization by the public safety agencies of the City of Shreveport and
Caddo Parish, Louisiana;." The tower site contains approximately 5,100 square feet and the perpetual access area
contains approximately 5,000 square feet in addition to the tower site. When combined, the tower site and access
easement encompass the southwestern 50' of the subject site and the northwestern 20' of the subject site. The lease
began on September 1, 1999 with a 99-year term and there are approximately 78.63 years remaining. The monetary
consideration for the lease is $0.00 annually.
Other than the tower site lease, the subject site does not appear to be adversely affected by any other known easements
or encroachments. However, there may be utility easements along the boundaries of the subject site although they
do not typically adversely affect the use of the site. A current survey is recommended by a qualified registered Civil
Engineer prior to transfer or loan closing.
Access To/From Streets:

The subject property has adequate access to and from Southland Park Drive.
Zoning:
The subject site is zoned C-2; Corridor Commercial Zoning District. The C-2 Corridor Commercial Zoning District
is intended to accommodate the commercial corridors of the City of Shreveport. The C-2 District addresses primarily
auto-oriented retail, both individual businesses and retail centers, with the intent of improving the pedestrian
environment along the corridor. Mixed-use development is encouraged with residential dwelling units allowed above
the ground floor.
Highest And Best Use:

The highest and best use for the subject site, as though vacant, as of the effective date of appraisal, is development
with a commercial use, a retail use and/or a service related use typical of the neighborhood. Please refer to the Highest
and Best Use section of this report for a complete discussion.
Conclusion:
The subject site is of adequate size, shape, topography and utility for a small commercial use, a retail use and/or a
service related use. The site is irregular in shape and it has typical functional utility for development to its highest
and best use. The site has adequate visibility and access to and from the primary traffic arteries and, therefore, it is
conducive to many of the physically possible uses allowed under the zoning regulation, likely a commercial use,
retail use and/or service related use.
The best method of site valuation is, in this case, the market data or comparative method. This technique calls for
comparing the related sales data to the land being appraised. The greatest weight is placed on actual sales of similar
tracts made relatively concurrent with the date of the appraisal and under comparable conditions. Whenever pertinent,
consideration is given to prices asked by owners and offers made by prospective purchasers willing to buy.
Given the length of the remaining term on the communications tower site lease and the fact the city is receiving no
income from the lease, a reasonable purchaser would not assign any contributory value to the 5,100 square foot tower
site. Therefore, the land value will be based on a site size of 25,100 square feet. The 5,000 square foot easement area
is included in the valuation, although an adjustment is necessary to reflect the fact the property owner will not have
exclusive use of this area.

TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
Although the subject property is tax exempt, it is assessed as a whole property in the records of Caddo Parish. The
current assessment is shown below. State law requires that assessments on all land be based on 10% of land market
value. Commercial and industrial property improvements are assessed at 15% of improvements market value.
Residential and multi-family improvements are assessed at 10% of market value. Market Value here refers to the
Assessor's Estimate of Market Value and it does not necessarily correlate with my final estimate of market value.

Deferred Maintenance: The office/living quarters building was in poor condition as of the date of my inspection and
there were numerous items of deferred maintenance noted. The following is a list of items noted during my site visit
that will need to be addressed prior to occupancy. This list is not meant to be all-inclusive.
1. Replace numerous broken windowpanes

2. Repair broken or malfunctioning doors and windows
3. Roof inspection and possible replacement
4. Add exterior ADA ramps and parking as necessary
5. Add parking lot striping
6. Replace entire HVAC system – It has been removed
7. Determine source of mold on the ceiling and address accordingly
8. Remove the remaining vinyl floor tiles (Given the age of the structure, the floor tiles may contain asbestos)
9. Remediate any hazardous materials
10. Replace all vinyl and plywood floor coverings
11. Repair ceilings and walls as necessary
12. Repaint all interior walls and ceilings in the office/living quarters building
13. Repair or remove fireplace
14. Add any necessary ADA compliant items on the interior
Please note that I have not inspected, nor do I certify the condition or adequacy of any of the mechanical or structural
systems.
Functional Obsolescence: The office/living quarters building was originally constructed for use as a single-family
residence. The City of Shreveport purchased the property (reportedly in the late 1960’s) and constructed the engine bay
building connecting it to the residential structure. Given the amount of work (deferred maintenance) required to the
office/living quarters building, it could be remodeled and re-configured into a more functional commercial structure to
be used in conjunction with the warehouse (former engine bays) building.
External Obsolescence: External obsolescence is a form of depreciation to a property from factors "outside" its
physical boundaries. The loss from external obsolescence is allocated between land and improvements. Only the
portion of the loss in value that is applicable to the improvements is deducted from the current cost as external
obsolescence, since the effect of external influences on land value is calculated in the land valuation. Based on the
improved sale comparables used in this analysis, no external obsolescence is estimated in this analysis.

SECTION 4 – VALUATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
HIGHEST AND BEST USE

AS VACANT
Highest and Best Use is the use for a property which fully develops the site's potential utility. It is also known as the
most profitable probable use.
Highest and Best Use can be explained and defined as "The reasonably probable use of property that results in the
highest value. The four criteria that the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility,
financial feasibility, and maximum productivity.”1 Where a site has existing improvements, the Highest and Best
Use may be different from the existing use.
The principle of Highest and Best Use is a correlation of the range of the basic principles of economics that affect the
value of real property.
In the analysis of Highest and Best Use, major considerations are required to estimate the Highest and Best Use of a
vacant or improved site. These are:
1) The use must be legally permissible -- private restrictions (protective covenants), zoning regulations,
building codes, and easements may restrict development of a site to a certain use;
2) The use must be physically suitable -- physical characteristics, such as location, size, topography, soil
and sub-soil conditions, drainage and access can limit utilization;
3) The use must be financially feasible – a use that produces a positive return to the land and any proposed
improvements;
4) The use must be maximumly productive -- the income attainable from the proposed use must be
sufficient to justify its costs and yield a greater return than other potential uses.
In estimating the Highest and Best Use for a site such as the subject, I must first study existing land use patterns and
trends for the area. The subject neighborhood is well-located with respect to both intercity and intracity traffic links.
The subject neighborhood has good access to all areas of Shreveport. The Inner Loop and Industrial Loop are within
the neighborhood and both provide good accessibility to east and west Shreveport. Mansfield Road (US Highway
71) is a major artery for north/south traffic through Shreveport and goes south to Southwest Louisiana. The I-
49/Industrial Loop intersection is located approximately 4 miles northeast of the subject property and was completed
The subject property is bound on the northwest by a retail autoparts store and on the southeast by the Louisiana
Department of Motor Vehicles facility. There are two small office buildings along the southeast boundary and there
is an unoccupied gasoline/ convenience store located across Southland Park Drive, northwest of the subject property.
As previously discussed, the immediate subject property area is populated with the retail and commercial uses which
benefit from the high traffic counts along Jewella Road, Mansfield Road and the Industrial Loop. While the majority
of the land was originally developed, in some cases, the original buildings have been demolished to make way for
new construction. There are vacant tracts available for sale as well as improved properties.
Legally Permissible: This considers both public and private restrictions. Public restrictions include municipal
zoning codes as well as any parish or municipal building codes. Private restrictions typically include deed restrictions,
subdivision restrictions, etc. There are no known private restrictions.
Based on a review of the C-2 zoning requirements, the subject site appears to be suitable for many of the legally
permissible uses.

The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition, The Appraisal Institute, Chicago, Illinois, 2015, page 109
HIGHEST & BEST USE (Continued)
Physically Suitable: The subject property contains 30,200 square feet and it is irregular in shape measuring 149
front feet along Southland Park Drive x 182.6' (northwest) x 150' (southwest) x 244.7' (southeast). The subject
property has adequate access to and from Southland Park Drive.
The physical descriptions included in this report are based on various maps, photos, etc., none of which were a
boundary survey. The descriptions included in this report are assumed to be accurate and subject to revision upon
receipt of a boundary survey prepared by a registered land surveyor. If this assumption proves to be incorrect, the
results stated in this report are subject to revision.
According to Flood Hazard Insurance Map Panel 22017C0468H, effective May 19, 2014, the subject property is
located in Zone "X", which is outside of any special flood hazard areas. The site is generally level with an elevation
of 200' msl, although there are gradual elevation changes for drainage purposes.
A general inspection of the neighborhood noted no significant adverse conditions which would affect the subject or
the area. This analysis assumes there are no adverse effects from any environmental issues, however, neither a current
on-site nor off-site Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other possible hazard studies were provided to the
appraiser.
There is a land lease from the City of Shreveport to the Caddo Parish Communications District Number One for the
location of a radio communications tower "for utilization by the public safety agencies of the City of Shreveport and
Caddo Parish, Louisiana;." The tower site contains approximately 5,100 square feet and the perpetual access area
contains approximately 5,000 square feet in addition to the tower site. When combined, the tower site and access
easement encompass the southwestern 50' of the subject site and the northwestern 20' of the subject site. The lease
began on September 1, 1999 with a 99-year term and there are approximately 78.63 years remaining. The monetary
consideration for the lease is $0.00 annually.
Other than the tower site lease, the subject site does not appear to be adversely affected by any other known easements
or encroachments. However, there may be utility easements along the boundaries of the subject site although they
do not typically adversely affect the use of the site. A current survey is recommended by a qualified registered Civil
Engineer prior to transfer or loan closing.
Given the length of the remaining term on the lease and the fact the city is receiving no income from the lease, a
reasonable purchaser would not assign any contributory value to the 5,100 square foot tower site. Therefore, the land
value will be based on a site size of 25,100 square feet. The 5,000 square foot easement area is included in the valuation,
although an adjustment is necessary to reflect the fact the property owner will not have exclusive use of this area.
The subject site is of adequate size, shape, topography and utility for a small commercial use, a retail use and/or a
service related use. The site is irregular in shape and it has typical functional utility for development to its highest
and best use. The site has adequate visibility and access to and from the primary traffic arteries and, therefore, it is
conducive to many of the physically possible uses allowed under the zoning regulation, likely a commercial use,
retail use and/or service related use.
Based on the information discussed above, the site is adequate for development for many of the legally permissible
uses allowed under the zoning regulation described above. The analysis of the most feasible use will be limited to
the physically and legally permissible uses as previously discussed.
Feasible Use: The analysis of the most feasible use will be limited to the physically possible uses that are legally
permissible. Given the location, the shape, the size and the surrounding land uses, the highest and best use of the
subject property includes a commercial use, a retail use and/or a service related use.
Most Profitable: While many of the legally permissible uses would be feasible, it is difficult to determine the most
profitable use without a development plan.
HIGHEST & BEST USE (Continued)
Conclusion As Vacant: The subject neighborhood is well-located with respect to both intercity and intracity traffic
links. The subject neighborhood has good access to all areas of Shreveport. The Inner Loop and Industrial Loop are
within the neighborhood and both provide good accessibility to east and west Shreveport. Mansfield Road (US
Highway 71) is a major artery for north/south traffic through Shreveport and goes south to Southwest Louisiana. The
I-49/Industrial Loop intersection is located approximately 4 miles northeast of the subject property and was completed
The highest and best use for the subject site, as though vacant, as of the effective date of appraisal, is a commercial
use, a retail use and/or a service related use.
HIGHEST & BEST USE

AS IMPROVED
Highest and Best Use is defined as: The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property,
which is physically possible, legally permissible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the
highest value. 2
Highest and Best Use of property as improved is defined as: The use of a property, as improved, that will maximize its
value. 3
Two reasons to analyze the highest and best use of a property as improved are to identify the use of the property that
can be expected to produce the highest overall return for each dollar of capital invested, and to help identify comparable
properties.
The subject site is improved with a former residence that was converted for use as the office and sleeping quarters for
fire station #17 reportedly in the late 1960's. After purchasing the property, the building housing the two engine bays
was constructed and attached to the former residence. It appears the existing improvements do conform to the required
side setback requirements under the C-2; Corridor Commercial Zoning District zoning regulation. The C-2 zoning
requirements for setbacks, size and height are summarized as follows.
Requirements C-2 Subject Property

Minimum Lot Area None Conforms
Minimum Lot Width None Conforms
Minimum Front Setback Nont Conforms
Minimum Side Setback None Conforms
Minimum Rear Setback None Conforms
Minimum Building Height 14' Conforms
Maximum Building Height 40' Conforms
The existing improvements appear to be legally permissible under the current zoning restrictions. Removal of the
existing improvements is not considered feasible, as the underlying land value, minus demolition cost, is less than the
value of the improved property. Therefore, I conclude that having met all of the above requirements, the highest and
best use as improved for the subject, as of the effective date of appraisal, is a commercial/service related use after a
substantial renovation/rehabilitation is undertaken.

LAND VALUATION
Several procedures for the valuation of land are available to the appraisers.
1. Sales Comparison Approach. Sales of similar vacant parcels are analyzed, compared, and
adjusted to derive an indication of value for the land being appraised.
2. The Allocation (Abstraction) Procedure. Sales of improved properties are analyzed, and the
prices are allocated between land and improvements. This allocation is used either:
a) To establish a typical ratio of land value to total value (allocation), which may be
applicable to a property being appraised,
or
b) To derive from the portion of the sale price allocated land, a land value estimate for use
as a comparable land sale (abstraction).
3. The Anticipated Use (Subdivision Development) Procedure. Undeveloped land is assumed

to be subdivided, developed and sold. Development costs, incentive costs and carrying
charges are subtracted from the estimated proceeds of sale, and the net income projection is
discounted over the estimated period required for market absorption of the developed sites
to derive an indication of value for the land being appraised.
4. The Land Residual Procedure. The land is assumed to be improved to its Highest and Best
Use, and the net income imputable to the land after all expenses of operation and return
attributable to the other agents in production are capitalized to derive an estimate of land
value.
The best method of site valuation is the Sales Comparison Approach, which is based on the premise the market value
of a property is directly related to the prices of comparable, competitive properties. The Sales Comparison Approach
is the most common technique for valuing land, and it is the preferred method when comparable sales are available.
To apply this method, sales of similar parcels of land are analyzed, compared, and adjusted to provide a value
indication for the land being appraised. The comparable sales must first be adjusted for legal characteristics, financing
terms and conditions of sale. Once these adjustments are made, the adjusted sales price must be adjusted for changes
in market conditions, if any. Subsequent to this adjustment, the comparables can then be adjusted for differing
physical characteristics. Details of the land comparables studied are shown on the following pages.
Property Rights Conveyed

This adjustment considers any conveyances of less than fee simple interest.
Financing Terms (Cash Equivalent)

When a sale involves seller financing at terms that are more favorable than the open market terms available from a
third party, the sale price is adjusted to reflect the value of the financing. This is not a strictly mathematical calculation
in most cases, but includes the typical market reaction to special financing, including interest rates, rate indexes,
length, call options, options to renew, and other related considerations. The purpose of this adjustment is to arrive at
a "cash equivalent" sale price.
Conditions of Sale (Motivation)

Motivation adjustments are made when there are driving forces behind the sale of a property that are not typical of
the market. These forces include, but are not limited to expansions, distressed sales, accelerated sales, assemblages,
etc. This adjustment can be either positive or negative. Occasionally, these motivational adjustments can be
offsetting and have a net zero effect.
LAND VALUATION (Continued)
Market Conditions (Time)

Although the adjustment for market conditions is often referred to as a “time” adjustment, time is not the cause of the
adjustment. Changing market conditions over time create the need for an adjustment, not time itself. If market
conditions have not changed, no adjustment is required, even though considerable time may have elapsed. Changes
in market conditions can be measured by a paired sales analysis wherein sets of paired sales are analyzed over an
elapsed period. In some cases, the sale and resale of a site can be an indicator of changing market conditions.
Size
The size adjustment corrects for typical unit price variances between the size of the subject property and the size of
the comparables. As the size of property increases, the price per square foot decreases and as the size decreases, the
price per square foot increases, assuming all other characteristics are equal. Therefore, when the subject property is
smaller than a comparable, a positive adjustment is made, and when the subject property is larger than a comparable,
a negative adjustment is made.
Location/Neighborhood
The location adjustment considers activity in the neighborhood and the state of the neighborhood, as well as the
specific location. Generally, as the amount of activity around a site increases, the value of the site tends to increase
as well. However, properties in inferior areas that are deteriorating and/or secluded tend to decrease in value. Also,
the state of the area’s life cycle has a bearing on its value. If the area is expanding and there is a possibility of value
appreciation in the future, the price paid will reflect this. If the area is declining and there is a possibility of
depreciation in value, this is also reflected. Therefore, a location adjustment will be made where necessary to reflect
the differing locations.
Visibility/View
This adjustment accounts for differences between the subject property and comparables with respect to visibility of
the property from the neighborhood and the view of the neighborhood from the subject property. If a property is
hidden, either by man-made or natural obstructions, or is set back from the street without good visibility from the
street, an adjustment may be necessary.
Access /Corners/Streets
An access/corners/streets adjustment is made when either the subject property or the comparable is on a corner or has
a superior street, such as a two-lane street versus a four-lane street with a continuous turn lane. This adjustment can
vary from comparable to comparable since all corners are not equal. That is to say, a corner location on two major
arteries will receive a much higher benefit than a corner location on two secondary roads.
Frontage on Primary Traffic Artery

If the site has limited street frontage relative to the highest and best use, it would be less desirable. If the site has an
adequate amount of street frontage, it is typically more attractive to a larger number of potential buyers.
Configuration/Utility
A shape adjustment is made when the subject or the comparable has an inefficient shape that will create difficulties
in development or restrict the overall functional utility of the site even if it has the same type use. Shape adjustments
are perhaps one of the most subjective and market extraction is ideal, but usually not very practical.
Topography/Flood Zone
Topography adjustments will be made based on market extraction, or cost to cure (fill dirt). This is a very site-specific
adjustment, which cannot be generalized.
Utilities
This adjustment compares and adjusts for differences in utilities, such as no utilities versus all city or partial city or
maybe well versus city water. The more city utilities either on site or available generally has a positive effect on
values. Generally speaking, a tract of land that has access to public water and sewer service is considered superior to a
tract without these services.
Zoning/Other Restrictions
When comparing two like properties, with the main difference lying in the zoning of the two properties, the property
that has a higher commercial zoning, with the least restrictions will generally transfer at a higher price. This is relative
to the degree of difficulty and the total cost of rezoning, including cost of legal expenses and the value of time lost in
some cases. This could also be an adjustment to reflect use restrictions from either public or private restrictions.
Site Improvements
When a site has improvements, such as existing parking, fences, lighting, old structures, etc., adjustments need to be
made. These adjustments can be either positive or negative depending on the improvement.
Conclusion
The subject site contains 30,200 square feet and it measures 149 front feet along Southland Park Drive x 182.6'
(northwest) x 150' (southwest) x 244.7' (southeast). There is a land lease from the City of Shreveport to the Caddo
Parish Communications District Number One for the location of a radio communications tower "for utilization by the
public safety agencies of the City of Shreveport and Caddo Parish, Louisiana;." The tower site contains
approximately 5,100 square feet and the perpetual access area contains approximately 5,000 square feet in addition
to the tower site. When combined, the tower site and access easement encompass the southwestern 50' of the subject
site and the northwestern 20' of the subject site. The lease began on September 1, 1999 with a 99-year term and there
are approximately 78.63 years remaining. Please refer to pages 41 and 48 for a visual depiction of the tower site and
access area. The monetary consideration for the lease is $0.00 annually. Please refer to Exhibit “A” in the Addenda
of this report for a copy of the lease.
Given the length of the remaining term on the lease and the fact the city is receiving no income from the lease, a
reasonable purchaser would not assign any contributory value to the 5,100 square foot tower site. Therefore, the land
value will be based on a site size of 25,100 square feet. The 5,000 square foot easement area is included in the valuation,
although an adjustment is necessary to reflect the fact the property owner will not have exclusive use of this area.
The land sales were adjusted for physical characteristics and the adjusted comparables range from $1.61 to $2.64 per
square foot with an average of $2.18 per square foot. Comparable sale #1 is the most recent sale and comparable sale
#2 required the least amount of gross adjustment. Based on the comparables presented in this report, the site value is
calculated below:

COST APPROACH
The Cost Approach is one of the three approaches in the valuation process. Underlying the theory of the Cost Approach
is the principle of substitution, which suggests that no prudent person will pay more for a property than the amount for
which he or she can obtain, by purchase of a site and construction of a building without undue delay, a property of equal
desirability and utility. Consequently, replacement cost new, prior to any deduction for accrued depreciation, plus land
value, tends to set the upper limit of value. For the Cost Approach to produce a valid indication of market value that
may be reconciled with the value indications obtained by the other two approaches, it is necessary to consider accrued
depreciation due to all causes --- functional and economic, as well as physical.
significant given the age and condition of the improvements which has resulted in a significant amount of accrued
stated herein.
INCOME APPROACH
property's value. The Income Approach is not considered significant given the age, condition and functional features
of the improvements. I feel it is unlikely that the subject property would be purchased by an investor to speculate on
rental income. For this reason, the Income Approach to Value is not considered applicable to the appraisal problem
and will not be developed. Omission of the Income Approach does not affect the credibility of the value conclusion
stated herein.
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The Sales Comparison Approach involves direct comparison of the property being appraised to similar properties that
have sold in the same or in a similar market in order to derive a market value indication for the property being appraised.
Carefully verified and analyzed market data is good evidence of value when it represents typical actions and reactions
of buyers, sellers, users and investors. The Market Value estimate has been categorized as an interpretation of the
reactions of typical users and investors in the market. The Sales Comparison Approach, like the Cost Approach, is
based on the principle of substitution. In this approach, it implies that a prudent person will not pay more to buy a
property than it will cost to buy a comparable substitute property. The price a typical purchaser pays is usually the result
of an extensive shopping process in which available alternates are compared. The property purchased typically
represents the best available balance between the buyer's specifications and the purchase price. Asking price may be
more than a seller expects to realize because there is the possibility that a non-typical purchaser may be found willing
to pay more. Without success, the seller may reduce the price or accept an offer that is less than the asking price.
Although individual sales may deviate from a market norm, a sufficient number tends to produce a pattern indicating
the action of typical buyers and sellers in the market. When information about a sufficient number of similar property
sales made in the current market is available, the resulting pattern provides a good indication of Market Value.
STEPS IN THE SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The Sales Comparison Approach may be applied in five steps:

1. Research the market to identify similar competitive properties for which pertinent sale, listing,
offering and/or rental data is available.
2. Qualify the prices as to terms, motivating forces and bona fide nature.
3. Compare each of the comparable properties' important attributes to the corresponding ones of
the property being appraised, under the general categories of time, location, physical
characteristics and conditions of sale. These comparisons are often made on a "unit price"
method, such as price-per-square-foot, price-per-room, price-per-rental unit, price-per-bed,
etc.
4. Consider all dissimilarities including financing and their probable effect on the price of each
sale property to derive individual market value indications for the property being appraised.
5. From the pattern developed, formulate an opinion of market value for the property being
appraised.
Due to the availability of comparable data and to the fact the improvements are the highest and best use, the direct sales
comparison method will be utilized as the basis for this approach. The estimated land value of each comparable is
deducted from the sales price to arrive at the improvement allocation of each comparable. After the value of the subject
improvements has been determined, the estimated land value is added to the value of the improvements to arrive at the
total value of the subject property. The improved sales are compared and adjusted based on physical factors including,
but not limited to, location/view, access/streets, age/condition, quality/amenities and size. The adjustments are
discussed in detail beginning on the next page, followed by a summary and adjustment chart and the comparable data
sheets.
Since the comparables had different land to building ratios and different site values, the site value of each comparable
was deducted to arrive at the improvement allocation. The allocation of the improvements, on a per square foot basis,
is then compared and adjusted to the subject property to determine the value of the subject property.
Property Rights Conveyed

This adjustment considers any conveyances of less than full ownership, less minerals and subject to known easements,
encroachments and servitudes (aka fee simple).
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH (Continued)
Financing Terms
This adjustment addresses any non-typical financing stimulus. This adjustment is made in any circumstances where the
financing concessions have been made by the seller. The purpose or intent of this adjustment is to arrive at a "cash
equivalent" sale price.
Condition of Sale (Motivation)

This adjustment considers assemblage/plottage influences and any other "undue duress" affecting factors. For current
listings or competitive offerings, a downward condition of sale adjustment is made. The basis for this adjustment is the
rationale that sellers will typically accept a price less than full list or ask price. Also, adjustments for required repairs
and renovations are made here.
Market Condition (Sale Date)

Although the adjustment for market conditions is often referred to as a “time” adjustment, time is not the cause of the
adjustment. Changing market conditions over time create the need for an adjustment, not time itself. If market
conditions have not changed, no adjustment is required, even though considerable time may have elapsed. Changes
in market conditions can be measured by a paired sales analysis wherein sets of paired sales are analyzed over an
elapsed period. In some cases, the sale and resale of a site can be an indicator of changing market conditions.
Location Adjustment
The location adjustment considers activity in the neighborhood and the state of the neighborhood, as well as the
specific location. Generally, as the amount of activity around a site increases, the value of the site tends to increase
as well. However, properties in inferior areas that are deteriorating and/or secluded tend to decrease in value. Also,
the state of the area’s life cycle has a bearing on its value. If the area is expanding and there is a possibility of value
appreciation in the future, the price paid will reflect this. If the area is declining and there is a possibility of
depreciation in value, this is also reflected.
Access/Visibility Adjustment
An access adjustment is made when either the subject property or the comparable is on a corner or has a superior
street, such as a two-lane street versus a four-lane street with a continuous turn lane. This adjustment can vary from
comparable to comparable since all corners are not equal. The visibility adjustment accounts for differences between
the subject property and comparables with respect to visibility of the property from the neighborhood and the view
of the neighborhood from the subject property. If a property is hidden, either by man-made or natural obstructions,
or is set back from the street without good visibility from the street, an adjustment may be necessary.
Age/Condition Adjustment
The age adjustment is based on the depreciation analysis as discussed in the Cost Approach. Based on these indications,
the age adjustment will be calculated using a range of 1.0% to 3.0% per year, which is applied to the age difference
between the subject property and each of the comparables. In some cases, an additional adjustment is necessary for
differences in condition.
Quality/Amenities Adjustment
Construction quality is typically a percentage adjustment applied to the net improvement price. The adjustment is based
on the difference between per square foot prices of different grade buildings.
Size Adjustment
The size adjustment corrects for typical unit price variances between the size of the subject property and the size of
the comparables. As the size of property increases, the price per square foot decreases and as the size decreases, the
price per square foot increases, assuming all other characteristics are equal. Therefore, when the subject property is
smaller than a comparable, a positive adjustment is made, and when the subject property is larger than a comparable,
a negative adjustment is made.
Value Conclusion by the Sales Comparison Approach:

The comparables are summarized and adjusted on the following page and in comparison to the subject property, the
adjusted comparables range from $11.45 per square foot to $17.33 per square foot with an average of $14.11 per
square foot overall. Comparable sale #1 is the most recent sale and comparable sale #4 required the least amount of
adjustment. Based on the comparables presented in this analysis, the subject property value is calculated as follows:
Building Size 4,399 Square Feet

Times Estimated Value Per Square Foot x $15.00 Per Square Foot
Value of the Improvements $65,985
Value of the Improvements - Rounded $65,000

Add Land Value $50,000

RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE
Reconciliation is the process by which the most reliable single estimate of value is derived from the value range indicated
by the recognized approaches to value. If all of the approaches were applied properly and each indicated the same
answer, a reconciliation would not be necessary. But in the market, some approaches to value are more applicable than
others because of the inherent weaknesses of the assumptions made and because of market variances.
The value indications for the approaches listed below must be weighed against each other for relative reliability.
Cost Approach N/A
Income Approach N/A
Sales Comparison Approach $115,000
An attempt has been made throughout this appraisal analysis to test the subject property in the light of marketplace
reactions. All three approaches have used actual data obtained from the market in formulating value estimates. The
question here is, which one or ones reflect more the attitudes and behavior of buyers and sellers. Value is determined
by the market; the appraiser simply analyzes and interprets. Other factors which are less quantifiable such as supply and
demand, trends of locations, and availability of financing are also considered by these approaches to value.

property's value. The Income Approach is not considered significant given the age, condition and functional
features of the improvements. I feel it is unlikely that the subject property would be purchased by an investor to
speculate on rental income. For this reason, the Income Approach to Value is not considered applicable to the
appraisal problem and will not be developed. Omission of the Income Approach does not affect the credibility of
the value conclusion stated herein.
The Sales Comparison Approach is applicable when there is sufficient information on recent market transactions to
indicate value patterns. Changes in economic conditions, zoning regulations, income tax laws, and the availability of
financing may also limit the reliability of the approach. To apply the Sales Comparison Approach, data is considered
from sales, contracts, offers and listings of competitive properties. The comparables also provide information on
capitalization rates, equity dividend rates and depreciation, all of which are applied in the Income and Cost Approaches.

2020, the market value of the full ownership, less minerals and subject to known easements, encroachments and

OTHERWISE PROVIDE WITH All
RESPECT THERETO. SPONSOR
PURPOSE
[To amend the 2021 General Fund Property Standards budget. This budget amendment will
allow Property Standards to create positions that will strengthen the department and increase
overall productivity. This amendment is moving $107,900 from Personal Services-Technician
Salaries and $128,900 from Contractual Services to various Personal Services sub-object
categories to fund the following positions: Assistant to the Director, Senior Paralegal, two
Paralegals, two Administrative Assistants, D/O Heavy, D/O Light, and three Crew Members.]
As the City continues to annex land and neighborhoods, it expands the jurisdiction within the
corporate limits of Shreveport. With the newly created Environmental Court and all the inundated
research, additional staff is needed to maintain the court proceedings and ensure that all
research is thorough and correct. There is also a need for additional grass crew members that
would allow the crews to separate and work in separate areas instead of one. This would increase
the number of in-house abatements resulting from the care of premise, securing, and grass
violations timely. In 2020 approximately $274,000 was spent on weed abatement contractors. By
reducing the number of contractors from 20 to 15 the department will have enough funds to
allocate to hire additional staff. Responding to the needs of citizen-generated complaints is
paramount in our daily operations. Therefore, the requested changes are necessary for the
Property Standards department to continue to be successful.

___________________________________________________________________
Purpose
This ordinance will declare certain City-owned property as surplus property.
___________________________________________________________________
The City of Shreveport is the owner of the property and improvements located at
400 Edward Street, Shreveport, LA 71101. From 1923-1980 the building located at 400
Edwards Street housed the Downtown Branch of the Shreve Memorial Library, but
today is known as the Chamber of Commerce.
When libraries are abandoned the buildings revert to the care of the City of
Shreveport. The City of Shreveport has leased that property to the Chamber of
Commerce for more than 35 years. Over the years, it became more and more difficult
for the City to properly maintain the historic structure and for the City of Shreveport’s
budget to provide adequate funding for much needed capital repairs. The Building
located at 400 Edwards Street, Shreveport, LA is on the National Register of Historic
Places.
The City of Shreveport has not had a purpose for the property and in order to
explore opportunities for use/ownership of the building, there is a need to declare the
land and improvement located at 400 Edwards Street, Shreveport, LA 71101 as
surplus.

This proposed ordinance will have direct impact on Council District B.

The Office of the City Engineer has received a request from Mr. Ralph J. Dalton and the Montessori School for
Shreveport to close and abandon that portion of the East Wilkinson public dedication from Roosevelt Avenue to
C. E. Galloway Boulevard. This portion of East Wilkinson Street was never constructed and is currently a
partially wooded and overgrown area. The petitioners own approximately 75% of the adjacent linear footage and
it is their intention to clean and secure the area for security reasons and to prevent dumping. There are no water
and sewer mains and other utilities in this portion of the street dedication so the City will not be retaining a
permanent utility servitude. On March 3, 2021, the Metropolitan Planning Commission voted 7 to 0 to
recommend approval of this closure and abandonment.
