A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A TERMINATION AND
SETTLEMENT/RELEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SUCCESSOR
AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND MISSION
VALLEY PROPERTIES DEVELOPMENT CALIFORNIA, LLC.
Mr. Firestine reported he received direction from the Successor Agency Board in
December to commence the termination of negotiations with Mission Valley
Properties for the purchase of the vacant property owned by the Successor
Agency and located in the City consisting of approximately 128 acres. A copy of
the Termination and Settlement /Release Agreement is attached to the staff report
along with the proposed Resolution to execute the Agreement and to proceed to
the County Oversight Board. Responding to question about the next step, he said
staff is looking at potentially presenting this item to the County Oversight Board in
April. He explained the property was still guided by the Long -Rang Property
Management Plan (LRPMP) for SA -RDA assets. Staff will then regroup and look
at the means and methods by which the property can be sold. He said staff has
gone through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process twice before, and it may do
so again. He added other options may be available, but staff will take its time in
reviewing what has been done previously, lessons learned, and proceed differently
the third time around.
Director Harnik moved to, waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. SA -RDA 079,
approving a Termination and Settlement/Release Agreement Between the Successor Agency
and Mission Valley Properties Development California, LLC. Motion was seconded by Weber
and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Harnik, Jonathan, Kelly, Weber, and Nestande; NOES: None).
