for the Successor Agency that its Long-range Property Management Plan was

transferring it to the City of Palm Desert. As such, it didn't require any additional
action by the Oversight Board; therefore, he had requested the subject
consideration be withdrawn. Further to that end, at the Thursday, January 8,
2015, regular City Council and Successor Agency Meetings, the Disposition and
Development Agreement was approved, transferring the property from the City to
CSU, with some minor modifications to the Agreement having to do with ensuring
the land is used for educational purposes in perpetuity and that the campus bears
