The EDA's provision of such in-kind services may require the City to provide funds to the EDA in order that the EDA may affect the provision of such services in whole or in part. Additionally or alternatively, the City or its agent may, but is not required to, provide all or a portion of the Mixed-Use Development Incentive by directly providing in-kind services for the benefit of the Mixed-Use Development Incentive Recipient and/or the public welfare, including, but not limited to, such services as: abandonment of public rights-of-way, provision of on or off-site public infrastructure, provision of public facilities, or provision of favorable financing terms. The value of the total incentive, whether provided by cash grant or in-kind service or combination thereof, shall not exceed the public contribution necessary to induce the Mixed-use Project and associated Qualifying Event( s) to occur and must be justified by the validated direct and indirect economic return to the City. The amount and mode of delivery of the Mixed-Use Development Incentive, whether by grant(s), in-kind services delivered by the EDA, or in-kind services delivered by the City, or any combination ofthe above shall be specified in the Incentive Agreement governing that Mixed-Use Development Incentive. IV. Approval Of Incentive Agreements Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied by the terms of this Agreement, the City retains the right in its discretion to approve or disapprove any proposed Incentive Agreement for a Mixed-Use Development Incentive negotiated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement without regard to whether the proposed qualifying activity provides the minimum taxable capital investment and meets the minimum job creation criterion. No Incentive Agreement for a Mixed-Use Development Incentive may be executed by the EDA without first being authorized by a resolution of the City Council of the City of Portsmouth.
