This document is a Project Assignment based on an agreement entered into between the City of

The title of this Project Assignment is: City of Jeffersonville General Consulting
Services provided by Crowe under this agreement would include, but not be limited to, general

• Review and analyze the UEZ revenues.
• Assist the City with the preparation of a spreadsheet to track future UEZ revenues.

provided in a manner so as to not cause Crowe or any other person or entity providing work with
or on behalf of Crowe under this agreement to be in violation of such confidentiality requirements.

Crowe will provide a written report of our recommendations as well as work with the City and
Redevelopment to determine a mutually agreeable format for each report. We understand
