ammo VIII. RESOLUTIONS
SOO
OCTOBER 11, 2018
A. RESOLUTION NO. SA -RDA 074 - A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, ACCEPTING A BID ($7,135,000) FROM MISSION
VALLEY PROPERTIES DEVELOPMENT CALIFORNIA, LLC, FOR THE
128-ACRE PARCEL OF VACANT LAND, WITHIN THE CITY OF PALM DESERT,
SOUTH OF GERALD FORD DRIVE, NORTH OF FRANK SINATRA DRIVE, AND
WEST OF PORTOLAAVENUE (APNs 694-300-001; 694-300-002; 694-300-005;
694-300-014; 694-300-015; 694-310-002; 694-310-003; AND 694-310-006),
PURSUANT TO THE LONG-RANGE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN, AND
TAKING RELATED ACTIONS.
Management Specialist Cora Gaugush recalled for the Board this item was
previously brought to the Successor Agency eight weeks ago, asking to reject the
sole bid in order to go out for a Request For Proposal again. Indeed, the Agency
received a bid for the appraised value.
Chair Jonathan had inquired if Mission Valley Properties Development California,
LLC, is a subsidiary or related to Black Hawk Investments, and the answer was in
the affirmative.
Ms. Gaugush confirmed she had discussions with them and apparently there is
some sort of financial arrangement.
Responding to question, Chair Jonathan said he viewed it as a plus, because they
have proven to be very good partners in development in Palm Desert.
Director Nestande moved to waive further reading and adopt Resolution
No. SA -RDA 074. Motion was seconded by Harnik and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Harnik,
Kelly, Nestande, Weber, and Jonathan; NOES: None).
