Item 4D - MemoPage 1 of 24 Item 4D M E M O R A N D U M May 27, 2026 To: Alison Ortowski, City Manager From: Daniel Cortez, Director of Economic Development & Tourism Subject: Item 4D - Consider approval of an amended economic development agreement between the City of Southlake and SRH Hospitality Southlake Investments, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Corporation Action Requested: Consider approval of an amended economic development agreement between the City of Southlake and SRH Hospitality Southlake Investments, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Corporation. Background Information: The City Council approved the original Chapter 380 incentive agreement for the Westin Hotel on February 3, 2015. An amended and restated agreement was approved on June 21, 2016, to address design changes and modify the incentive amount following a reevaluation with SRH Hospitality. On June 19, 2018, the Council approved another amendment extending the Certificate of Occupancy deadline from June 30, 2019, to June 30, 2021. On August 6, 2019, SRH Hospitality requested a six-month extension of the CO deadline to December 30, 2021, by modifying Section 5, Subsection B. City staff also recommended adding language specifying required construction materials to strengthen the connection to the project's zoning. SRH Hospitality is now proposing to modify the Hotel Occupancy Tax terms of the agreement in order to reach the original $5.4 million incentive. Under the current agreement, ad valorem tax reimbursement over a 12-year term is tied to property value: 80% reimbursement at $55 million or greater in taxable value, 70% reimbursement between $45 million and $55 million, and no reimbursement below $45 million. To date, SRH has received no ad valorem reimbursements because the property has not met the minimum taxable value threshold. To offset this shortfall, SRH is requesting that the 65% Hotel Occupancy Tax reimbursement be extended from a 5-year term to a 9-year term to capture the full $5.4 million incentive. As part of this request, the City is capping the ad valorem tax reimbursement to offset the extended Hotel Occupancy Tax reimbursement, ensuring the total incentive does not exceed the originally agreed-upon $5.4 million. All other provisions of the agreement remain unchanged. Legal Review: The City Attorney’s office prepared and reviewed the economic development agreement and approved its contents. Strategic Link: C4 Attract & keep top-tier businesses to drive a dynamic & sustainable economic environment. Page 2 of 24 Financial Considerations: The following are financial aspects of the development and associated agreement. These elements are in place today and only the element highlighted below would be proposed to be changed. Per the agreement, SRH Hospitality Southlake Investments LLC has agreed to the following pertaining to the agreement: • The City will reimburse eighty percent (80%) of the General Fund Sales Tax paid capped at four hundred and four thousand dollars ($404,000) for a term of 12 years which began in 2021. • The City will reimburse one hundred percent (100%) of the General Fund Sales Tax paid for construction materials related to the development of the site, which is capped at three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) for a term of 12 years. • The City will reimburse ad valorem tax payments over a 12-year term tied to property value where eighty percent (80%) is reimbursed at $55 million or greater in taxable value, seventy percent (70%) is reimbursed between $45 million and $55 million in taxable value, and no reimbursement is provided below $45 million. With this amended agreement, the amount reimbursed is capped at Seven Hundred and Fifty-Seven Thousand, Three Hundred and Ten Dollars ($757,310). • The City will reimburse sixty-five percent (65%) of the Hotel Occupancy Tax generated by the property provided occupancy standards are met. With this amended agreement the term will go from 5-years to 9-years with a cap of three million, nine hundred and forty thousand dollars ($3,940,000). • Under no circumstances within the agreement will the City reimburse SRH Hospitality more than the originally agreed upon amount of five million, four hundred and one thousand, three hundred and ten dollars ($5,401,310). • The improvements shall conform to the approved Site Plan, unless amended and approved by the City Council, and all building and construction materials identified therein and as described in the agreement attached. Alternatives: Approve the amended agreement, direct staff to revise the agreement and return for City Council consideration at a future meeting or deny the agreement.

Page 10 of 24 CITY OBLIGATIONS Subject to SRH's performance of its obligations as required by this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of this section, the City shall grant SRH the following Program Payments: A. Ad Valorem Taxes: City agrees to pay SRH a grant equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Ad Valorem Taxes assessed and paid to the City for the Property and Eligible Improvements and Business Personal Property Taxes paid to the City (to the extent the value of the Property and Eligible Improvements exceeds the assessed Base Value), commencing on January 1 of the first calendar year following the date of Substantial Completion and continuing thereafter for twelve (12) years. If the value of the Property, Eligible Improvements, and business personal property is below Fifty-five Million Dollars ($55,000,000) but greater than Forty-five Million Dollars ($45,000,000), the City agrees to pay SRH a grant equal to seventy percent (70%) of the Ad Valorem Taxes and Business Personal Property Taxes. If the value of the Property, Eligible Improvements, and business personal property falls below Forty-five Million Dollars ($45,000,000), the City will pay no grant to SRH until the valuation exceeds Forty-five Million Dollars ($45,000,000), at which time 70% of the Ad Valorem Taxes and Business Personal Property Taxes would be granted. If the valuation subsequently reaches Fifty-five Million ($55,000,000), the grant would again reach 80% of Ad Valorem Taxes and Business Personal Property Taxes. Under no circumstances will the grants pursuant to this section 6.A. in the aggregate exceed Seven Hundred and Fifty -Seven Thousand , Three Hundred and Ten Dollars ($757,310.00). Payments will terminate after twelve (12) years or when SRH has been paid Seven Hundred and Fifty -Seven Thousand , Three Hundred and Ten Dollars ($757,310.00), whichever occurs sooner. Under no circumstances will the grant period exceed twelve (12) years regardless of grant amount paid to SRH. Each annual grant shall be paid by the City to SRH on or before forty-five (45) days following the date City receives the Ad Valorem Taxes and Business Personal Property Taxes, as applicable. By way of example, if Substantial Completion of the Hotel is obtained in September 2016, then the twelve year ad valorem tax incentive period would begin with the 2017 tax year, which 2017 taxes would not be received by the City and paid to SRH until2018. B. Sales and Use Taxes: City agrees to pay SRH an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the City's one percent (1.0%) Sales and Use Tax generated by and attributed solely to the sale of taxable items by businesses operating within the Property during a period beginning on the second full calendar quarter after the Opening Date, and continuing thereafter for twelve (12) years; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the grants under this subsection exceed Four Hundred Four Thousand Dollars ($404,000), in the aggregate. Payments will terminate after twelve (12) years or when SRH has been paid Four Hundred Four Thousand Dollars ($404,000), whichever occurs sooner. Such payments will be paid on a quarterly basis to SRH within forty- five (45) days after receipt from the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas of the Sales and Use Tax for the applicable quarter. C. Hotel Occupancy Taxes: (1) Program Payments: City agrees to pay SRH grants in an amount equal to no more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the hotel occupancy tax charged, collected and remitted to the City of Southlake from Hotel operations as a tax rebate, said grant period beginning on the second full calendar quarter after the Opening Date and Page 11 of 24 continuing thereafter for five (5) years; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the grant under this subsection exceed Two Million Three Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars ($2,375,000), in the aggregate. Payments will terminate when SRH has been paid Three Million , Nine Hundred and Forty Thousand Dollars ($3,940,000.00) or by December 31, 2029, whichever occurs sooner. Grant Payments will be paid on a quarterly basis on or before forty-five (45) days following the date City receives (1) the HOT Revenue for the applicable quarter, and (2) sufficient documentation from SRH, in a form reasonably acceptable to City, that it has met the performance standards in section 6.C.(2) below. (2) Continued Performance Standards: Continued Program Payments under this Section 6.C. will be directly tied to the Hotel's performance. At the end of the third full year of operations of the Hotel, and thereafter, calculated on the average of the preceding four calendar quarters, the Hotel must maintain a minimum of sixty percent (60%) occupancy in order to receive the full sixty-five percent (65%) of hotel occupancy taxes as provided under 6.C.(l) above. If during the applicable preceding twelve month period, the average occupancy for the preceding four calendar quarters falls below sixty percent (60%), the grant payment payable to the Hotel for the last quarter of such twelve month period will be reduced to sixty percent (60%) of the HOT Revenue collected for that quarter. If the average hotel occupancy for the preceding four calendar quarters falls below fifty percent (50%), the grant payment payable to the Hotel for the last quarter of such twelve month period will be reduced to fifty percent (50%) of the HOT Revenue collected for that quarter. By way of example, if the occupancy rate for the four quarters of the third full year of Hotel operations is fifty percent (50%), fifty-five percent (55%), sixty percent (60%) and sixty-five percent (65%), the average occupancy for such year would be fifty-seven and one-half percent 57.5%. In such case, the grant payment made to SRH attributable to the fourth quarter of the third year would be reduced to sixty percent (60%) of the HOT Revenue collected for that quarter. If the occupancy rate for the first quarter of the fourth year is sixty percent (60%), then the average occupancy for the preceding four quarters would be 60% [(55% + 60% + 65% + 60%) ÷ 4], and the grant payment made to SRH for such quarter would be the full sixty-five percent (65%) of the HOT Revenue collected for that quarter. (3) Compliance with Tax Code: SRH agrees that Program Payments under this section must be expended in a manner directly enhancing and promoting touri sm and the convention and hotel industry and only as permitted by Chapter 351 of the Texas Tax Code, as amended, with detailed proof of expenditures provided quarterly to the City. Qualified expenditures include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) advertising/promotional programs to attract tourists; and (ii) transportation system to transport tourists to and from the Hotel. D. Sales Tax - Construction Materials: The City agrees that it shall pay to SRH an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Sales and Use Tax received by the City for the purchase of construction materials by SRH or contractors retained by SRH within a Page 12 of 24 two year period in connection with the construction of the Eligible Improvements prior to the date of Substantial Completion; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the payments exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000). The aforementioned two-year period will commence upon SRH's purchase of the first taxable item in connection with the construction of the Eligible Improvements. To receive payments under this section, SRH must submit proof of taxes paid on Construction Materials to the City within one hundred eighty (180) days after Substantial Completion. City's payment will be made within thirty (30) days of City's receipt of verification from the State Comptroller that the City has received Sales and Use Tax attributable to the purchase of Construction Materials in connection with the Eligible Improvements. SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS A. Conflict of Interest: The Property is not owned or leased to any member of the Southlake City Council or any member of the Southlake Planning and Zoning Commission. In addition, SRH agrees to complete a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire as required by Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code. B. Default and Termination: If either party should fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement, or if a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding shall be filed by or against either party and such proceeding is not vacated within sixty (60) days, it shall be deemed a default and the party shall have sixty (60) days after delivery of written notice of such default from the other party to cure such default. If the noncompliance is not cured within that period, the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement by written notice and shall have no further obligation to the other party; provided that the City shall grant SRH an extension to cure the default if SRH demonstrates, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Council that: (1) the default cannot be cured by the payment of monies, (2) cannot be reasonably cured within sixty (60) days and (3) that SRH has been and is diligently pursuing cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event either party fails to pay the other party any monetary amounts owing under this Agreement when due, and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice of such default, then such outstanding amounts shall accrue interest from the date owing until paid at the rate in effect on September 1 of the City's fiscal year in which the payment becomes overdue. That rate in effect on September 1 is equal to the sum of: (1) one percent; and (2) the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the first day of July of the City's preceding fiscal year that does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday. In the event the City terminates this Agreement as a result of the foregoing, it will have no further obligation to make any remaining Program Payments under this Agreement and SRH shall be deemed to have forfeited all currently owing or future Program Payments to be paid to SRH under this Agreement. C. Force Majeure: Either party may be excused from performance under this Agreement when its performance is prevented as the result of Force Majeure as defined in Section 3. If a party suffers an event of Force Majeure, it shall provide written notice of the event to the other party promptly after its occurrence. Subject to this provision, such Page 13 of 24 nonperformance shall not be deemed an event of default. Following the occurrence of any event of Force Majeure, SRH shall have such additional time to complete the applicable portion of the Eligible Improvements or perform such other obligation required hereunder as may be reasonably required if SRH is diligently and faithfully pursuing the completion of the same. D. Indemnification: SRH EXPRESSLY AGREES TO FULLY AND COMPLETELY DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE CITY, AND ITS OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYE ES, AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LAWSUITS, LIABILITIES, JUDGMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES FOR PERSONAL INJURY (INCLUDING DEATH), PROPERTY DAMAGE OR OTHER HARM, DAMAGES OR LIABILITY FOR WHICH RECOVERY OF DAMAGES IS SOUGHT, SUFFERED BY ANY PERSON OR PERSONS, THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR BE OCCASIONED BY ANY NEGLIGENT, GROSSLY NEGLIGENT, WRONGFUL, OR STRICTLY LIABLE ACT OR OMISSION OF SRH OR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OR CONTRACTORS, ARISING OUT OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT (EXCEPT WHEN SUCH CLAIMS, LAWSUITS, LIABILITIES, JUDGMENTS, COSTS, EXPENSES, INJURIES, DEATHS OR DAMAGES ARISE FROM OR ARE ATTRIBUTED TO THE SOLE NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE CITY). IN THE EVENT OF JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF BOTH THE CITY AND SRH, THE RESPONSIBILITY, IF ANY, SHALL BE APPORTIONED COMPARATIVELY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT, HOWEVER, WAIVING ANY DEFENSES OF THE PARTIES UNDER TEXAS LAW.
