A. REQUEST FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS, APPROVING EXECUTION OF
THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY'S INTERESTS AND
OBLIGATIONS UNDER A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT AND RELATED
DOCUMENTS FOR THE SHERIFF STATION PROPERTY ON GERALD FORD
DRIVE, AND TAKING OTHER RELATED ACTIONS (JOINT CONSIDERATION
WITH THE PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL).
Senior Management Analyst Veronica Tapia noted the City/Agency is in the midst
of winding down the former Redevelopment Agency, and this is one of the items
required to be considered. The Agency contributed land to the development of the
Sheriffs Station in the north sphere in 2008, and along with it were agreements
drawn that have obligations, rights, and interest, which remain today. Staff
recommends those agreements be assigned to the City, including the interest, in
order for the City to continue to monitor the agreements. One of them is the
covenant with the Sheriff, in that as long as they are under contract, it remains at
that station. She said this item will go before the Oversight Board on June 4, and
then to the Department of Finance (DOF) for consideration as well.
Councilmember/Director Harnik moved to waive further reading and adopt City Council
Resolution No. 2018 - 29 and Successor Agency Resolution No. SA -RDA 071, approving
execution of the assignment of the Successor Agency's obligations, rights, and interests under
a Cooperative Agreement and related documents for the Sheriff Station property on Gerald Ford
Drive (Contract No. C27980), and taking other related actions. Motion was seconded by Kelly
and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Harnik, Kelly, Nestande, Weber, and Jonathan; NOES: None).

B. REQUEST FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS, APPROVING EXECUTION OF
THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY'S INTERESTS AND
OBLIGATIONS UNDER A DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
AND RELATED DOCUMENTS FOR THE McCALLUM THEATRE PROPERTY,
AND TAKING OTHER RELATED ACTIONS (JOINT CONSIDERATION WITH
THE PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL).
Senior Management Analyst Veronica Tapia noted this was similar to the last item
on the agenda. This obligation comes with the interest that the Agency took in the
McCallum Theatre as an economic driver in 2001. There were agreements,
leases, and subleases that were drawn where the City wants to retain the interest.
Staff requested the agreements be assigned to the City. Secondly, staff is asking
the City to pay $50 for the assignment, because there was a lease associated with
it, and that money would be sent to the County and then distributed to the taxing
entities. This item will go before the Oversight Board and the Department of
Finance (DOF) for consideration.
Councilmember/Director Harnik moved to: 1)Waive further reading and adopt City
Council Resolution No. 2018 - 30 and Successor Agency Resolution No. SA -RDA 072,
approving execution of the assignment of the Successor Agency's obligations, rights, and
interests under a Disposition and Development Agreement, a Lease, Sublease, and other
documents relating to the McCallum Theatre property from the Successor Agency to the City of
Palm Desert; 2) by Minute Motion, authorize payment from the City to the Successor Agency in
the amount of $50 in consideration of the assignment. Motion was seconded by Weber and
carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Harnik, Kelly, Nestande, and Weber; NOES: None).
