When the County can end a development agreement for a serious breach

(a) If, at any time, the office of the mayor finds and determines that the principal has committed a material breach of the terms or conditions of the agreement, the office of the mayor shall serve notice in writing, within thirty days after the finding of a material breach, upon the principal setting forth with reasonable particularity the nature of the breach and evidence supporting the finding and determination, and providing the principal a reasonable time period in which to cure such material breach. (b) If the principal fails to cure the material breach within the time period given, then the County unilaterally may terminate or modify the agreement, provided that the office of the mayor has first given the principal the opportunity: (1) to rebut the finding and determination of the material breach; or (2) to agree to amend the agreement as the office of the mayor may elect to propose in order to cure the material breach pursuant to section 30-9 of this chapter. (c) In the event that (1) the principal does not agree to such amendments proposed by the office of the mayor or as subsequently modified by the County council, pursuant to section 30-9 of this chapter, or (2) the County council rejects the amendments proposed by the office of the mayor, the County may terminate the development agreement by County council resolution.
