XI. ADJOURNMENT
Member Snyder moved to adjourn the meeting to Closed Session. Member
Newbrander seconded the motion; carried by unanimous vote of the Members present.
Chairman Wilson adjourned the meeting to Closed Session at 7:37 p.m.
Chairman Wilson reconvened a Joint Meeting of the City Council and
Redevelopment Agency from Closed Session at 7:47 p.m. He announced that the
Council/Agency had been in Closed Session to discuss an Agreement that the Council and
Agency must either ratify or reject. It is an Agreement that has been signed by the City
and the Agency and the Vintage Properties Associates. He read portions of the
Agreement noting that if anyone would like to see it in its entirety, they could do so after
the meeting.
"The first part addresses itself to the suit and names the legal specifics of the
suit and so forth and tells when it was filed and those sort of things. Then it
goes on to say 'the parties have negotiated a settlement of the controversies
existing between them with respect to the above referenced' which was the
lawsuit."
"Wherefore, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1) The City of Palm Desert
will assume all obligations and costs and hold Vintage harmless as to the
Vintage obligation under Provision 3(b) and Exhibit D, Item 3, of the April
27th, 1979, agreement between Indian Wells Associates and the Coachella
Valley Water District pertaining to the construction of a culvert or box section
under Portola Avenue. A copy of the agreement between Indian Wells
Associates and Coachella Valley Water District is hereby attached as Exhibit
A." Chairman Wilson stated that this translates out to the fact that the City
of Palm Desert will assume the responsibility for building the culvert under
Portola where currently a dip in the road exists — a very temporary condition.
"The City of Palm Desert agrees to immediately process and approve the
application for three real property parcels which are within the Vintage Club
development and which are within the boundaries of the City of Palm Desert."
He explained these are three small parcels that are part of the Vintage
development that happen to be in Palm Desert, and we would process a
deannexation so that the entire development would now lie within Indian Wells.
"Upon execution of this Agreement by all parties, Vintage will file with the
Superior County of the State of California, County of Riverside, a dismissal
with prejudice of the above referenced lawsuit."
"In the event of any litigation arising out of this agreement, the prevailing
party in such litigation shall be entitled to its reasonable attorney's fees and
costs. The effective date of this Agreement shall be March 11, 1982."
Member Snyder moved to ratify the Agreement. Member Newbrander
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously by vote of the members present.
