Resolution No. SA -RDA 028
Recommendation
By Minute Motion that the Oversight Board:
1. Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. OB- 072 approving the
execution and delivery of a bond proceeds funding agreement in an
amount not to exceed 25% of the total project costs for the Portola
Avenue/I-10 Interchange Project by and among the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments (CVAG), the Successor Agency to the Palm
Desert Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency) and the City of Palm
Desert and taking certain related actions therewith and taking certain
related action.
Background
On February 28, 2008, City Council approved Contract No. C27330B with Coachella Valley
Association of Governments (CVAG) to participate in the funding of the future construction
of the Portola Avenue/I-10 Interchange.
The estimated project cost for the Portola Avenue/I-10 Interchange is $65,100,000. The
project is programmed to receive 75% funding from CVAG and 25%, or approximately
$16,275,000 from the City. Of this amount, $15,000,000 was included in the former
Redevelopment Agency's tax allocation bond documents as a project to be paid from the
2006 Project Area No. 2 and 3 bond proceeds. After receiving the former Agency's "Finding
of Completion" staff was also able to include the $15,000,000 on the Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule (ROPS) 13-14B for the period of January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014
which was approved by the Department of Finance (DOF) on December 17, 2013.

Portola Avenue/I-10 Interchange CVAG Agreement
Page 2 of 2
May 5, 2014
The attached resolution and agreement have been drafted to facilitate the deposit of funds
with CVAG for the project. The draft agreement has been submitted to CVAG for approval.
Staff recommends that the Oversight Board for the Successor Agency to the Palm desert
Redevelopment Agency adopt Resolution No. OB- 072 , approving the execution and
delivery of a bond proceeds funding agreement in an amount not to exceed 25% of the total
project costs for the Portola Avenue/I-10 Interchange Project by and among the Coachella
Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency) and the City of Palm Desert.
Fiscal Analysis
$15,000,000 of the City's share would be immediately funded by the Successor Agency
from available bond proceeds. CVAG has agreed to fund up to 75% of the estimated total
project cost of $65,100,000. The actual 25% share will be calculated based on the
construction bid and all other associated costs. CVAG will also allocate the 25% local share
to other benefiting local agencies based on the share study utilizing the RIVTAM
(transportation demand model). Pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 of the agreement, the
remaining portion may be funded by Measure A Funds, unless additional bond proceeds
are available for use. Only in the event there are no funding sources available from
Measure A, Successor Agency, or CVAG would the City have to consider utilizing monies
available in the Capital Projects Fund to pay for any of the costs.

or as a result of any alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing

other sources shall be kept separately from the SA Contribution Account.

Section 13. (a) Failure or delay by any Party to perform any material term or

remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any rights

remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any
other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party. No

than five calendar days following receipt of written notice of default, as provided above,

enforcement of, or the declaration of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement
or as a result of any alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing
