Re: Owner authorization — TIF application for exterior restoration at 1316 Bozeman Avenue

To Whom It May Concern:

I am the owner of the real property located at **1316 Bozeman Avenue, Helena, Montana 59601**, legally described as:

**[LEGAL DESCRIPTION — from deed / tax card]**

I authorize **Stephen Banker / Joshua Tree Cabinetry** (“Applicant”), as lessee of the property, to:

1. Prepare and submit a Railroad Urban Renewal District Tax Increment Financing application for exterior restoration and related site improvements at the property;
2. Obtain necessary City permits for the approved work; and

I understand that TIF assistance, if awarded, will be governed by a development agreement between the City and the Applicant, and that costs incurred before City funding approval may not be reimbursable with TIF funds.
