IV. REPORTS AND REMARKS
A. CITY MANAGER
1. CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COOPERATIVE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDEL THE CITY
OF PALM DESERT, AND THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY.
Mr. William Strausz, Agency Counsel, stated that a document
entitled Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the
County of Riverside. At the last Study Sesssion of the Council,
because of technical requirements in the resolution authorizing the
issuance of tax allocation bonds under the Agreement with the
County in the language as it used to read, the allocation of tax
revenues to the County technically stood in front of our reserve
requirements under the resolution. In other words, payments we
were required to make to a reserve fund under the resolution
authorizing the issuance of the bonds were in a secondary position
in a technical respect to the payments we had to make to the
County. At the Board of Supervisors's meeting of Tuesdfay, August
17th, the Board of Supervisors approved the amendment before the
Council, and that amendment makes it clear that we are to receive
125% of our debt service requirements and our reserve
requirements before the 10% of the tax revenues is then allocated
to the County. He stated it was Staff's recommendation that the
Council approve the amendment to the Agreement and authorize
the execution by the appropriate officers of the City.
Councilman Puluqi moved to approve the Amendment to the Cooperative
Agreement and authorize the appropriate City officials to execute. Councilman Snyder
seconded the motion. Motion carried by a unanimous vote of the Councilmen present.
2. CONSIDERATION OF AN AGREEMENT FOR COOPERATION
WITH THE CITY OF INDIAN WELLS AND THE INDIAN WELLS
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY.
Mr. Strausz noted that the Council, in addition to the subject
agreement, had a letter from Mr. Gene Nazarek, City Attorney for
the City of Indian Wells, wherein Mr. Nazarek describes his opinion
and interpretation of Section 13 of that Agreement. Based upon
the letter of interpretation and opinion of Mr. Nazarek, it was
Staff's recommendation that the Council approve the Cooperative
Agreement with Indian Wells and authorize the appropriate City
officials to execute it.
Councilman Newbrander moved to approve the Agreement of Cooperation with
the City of Indian Wells and the accompanying interpretation and opinion by Mr. Nazarek.
Councilman Puluqi seconded the motion. Motion carried on a unanimous vote of the
