Upon question by Member Pack regarding whether or not he would have a conflict of interest in his representation of the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) in this matter, given the City's ongoing negotiation with CVWD relative to a one -acre carve -out for a well site on said parcel, Board Members, Successor Agency Legal Counsel, and staff discussed and dissected the transaction to offer an answer.

With Oversight Board concurrence, the matter was then held over until the end of the meeting in case one more Board Member arrived to make a total of 5, allowing Member Pack to abstain if he so chose. Following consideration of the remaining items on this agenda, the Board returned to this item. Staff elaborated on terms of said First Amendment, and Board Members deliberated the merits. No additional Board Members arrived at the meeting, but the 4 present concurred that any potential sale of a one -acre piece of the subject property to CVWD would have separate terms and appear on a future Oversight Board agenda.
