transcription_note
"Cmmnunity" is the text layer's rendering of "Community" — an artefact of the scanned form's embedded font, not a misspelling in the instrument. Quoted as extracted rather than silently repaired; the same substitution recurs across all five resolutions ("cmmnittees", "detennined").

what_this_instrument_does_not_establish
- THE ABATEMENT TERMS ARE NOT IN THIS RESOLUTION. It authorizes the City Manager to sign "the agreement that is on file with the City Clerk" and states no percentage, no term, no PILOT and no clawback. The 30-year 100% real-property exemption, the $46,000,000/14-year PILOT and the separate $4,000,000 initial payment are terms of the EXECUTED agreement, read in #1380 and carried in `incentive-instruments.yaml`. Do not cite this resolution for any of them.
- The agreement "on file with the City Clerk" is incorporated by reference and not attached to the resolution page.

⚠ Gaps in the record
- Clean native text layer, no OCR — but the scan is of a bound journal and the embedded font substitutes some letter pairs (see `transcription_note`). Figures are not affected: this instrument contains none.
