Ms. Kvilvang 30 stated the developer requested the dates of the original contract be amended to state construction 31 would commence by. September 1, 2007 and September 1, 2008 respectively. She explained the 32 delay in construction of both buildings is only one year from the original projection as part of the 33 sizing of the TIF note.
