Discussion:
The Redevelopment Agency has negotiated a Cooperative Agreement with the County
of Riverside for the conveyance of 10.87 acres of land fronting Gerald Ford Drive, the
termination of the lease of the 38,000 square foot existing Sheriff's Station located in the
Palm Desert Civic Center Complex and the development of a new Sheriff Station.
The new Sheriff Station will be located on Gerald Ford Drive, between Portola Avenue
and Monterey Avenue, and includes a facility with a minimum of 80,000 square feet of
building area for regional offices, administrative facilities, voice and data communication
facilities, a vehicle storage yard, a helipad and other amenities such as landscaping,
parking areas, and related public improvements. The Sheriff Station will be built to the
"Basic" Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standard and will also
include a solar photovoltaic system as a renewable energy component. The project will
also include public street improvements along Gerald Ford Drive and the dedication of
approximately .87 acres with public improvements to the City.
In consideration for the disposition of the 10.87 acres by the Agency to the County, the
County agrees to execute a Lease Termination Agreement, which terminates the lease
dated as of February 2, 1989 between the Agency and the County for the real property
and sheriff station improvements located at the Civic Center Sheriff Station at 73-520
Fred Waring Drive. This will transfer the existing 38,000 square foot facility and land
area to the Agency's control. With the termination of the lease, the Agency will stop
receiving reimbursements from the County's pass-through funds for the bonds issued
for the Civic Center Sheriff Station. The ultimate disposition of this property has not
been determined. However, it is understood that the Sheriffs traffic detail will continue
to operate from this facility under terms yet to be negotiated.
Agency staff is recommending approval of the Cooperative Agreement. It provides
numerous benefits to the community in the provision of a modern and expanded Sheriff
Station, new public improvement along Gerald Ford Drive, and the Agency's recapture
of useful real estate and improvements within the Palm Desert Civic Center Complex.
Summary of the Cooperative Aqreement
Agency Requirements:
• The Agency will act as the "Project Applicant" on behalf of the project, coordinate
all entitlements, advance City fees on behalf of the project, and provide or secure

RESOLUTION NO. 08-74
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM
DESERT AUTHORIZING THE SALE BY THE PALM DESERT
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF CERTAIN PROPERTY TO THE
COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SHERIFF
STATION THEREON BY THE COUNTY, MAKING CERTAIN
FINDINGS, AND APPROVING A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH
RECITALS:
A. In order to effectuate the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan
(the "Redevelopment Plan") for Project Area No. 2 (the "Project Area"), the Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") proposes to enter into that certain Cooperative
Agreement Between the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency and County of Riverside
Concerning the Construction Financing and Acquisition of Sheriff Station (the
"Cooperative Agreement") with the County of Riverside (the "County") pursuant to which
the Agency will sell to the County that certain real property in the Project Area
consisting of approximately 10.87 acres located on the south side of Gerald Ford Drive
between Monterey and Portola Avenues in the City of Palm Desert (the "City"), together
with all easements, rights and privileges appurtenant thereto (the "Property") and the
County will construct on the Property a sheriff station and related regional offices and
administrative facilities consisting of at least 80,000 square feet of building area, voice
and data communication facilities, a vehicle storage yard and a helipad and other
amenities such as landscaping, parking areas and related public improvements,
including improvements to Gerald Ford Drive (collectively, the "Sheriff Station"). In
consideration for the sale of the Property by the Agency to the County, the County will
execute and deliver that certain Lease Termination Agreement, which provides for the
termination of the lease dated as of February 2, 1989, by and between the Agency, as
lessor, and the County, as lessee, pursuant to which the Agency leases to the County
the real property and sheriff station improvements thereon located at the Civic Center in
the City.
B. Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 33445 and
33679, on July 10, 2008, the City Council (the "City Council") of the City and the Agency
held a duly noticed joint public hearing on the approval of the Agency's proposed sale of
the Property to the County pursuant to the Cooperative Agreement, at which time all
persons desiring to comment on, or ask questions concerning, the sale and the
Cooperative Agreement were given the opportunity to do so. Prior to the public hearing,
information concerning the proposed sale and the Cooperative Agreement were
available for public inspection in the office of the City Clerk in accordance with Health
and Safety Code Section 33679.
C. The proposed Sheriff Station is located in and will benefit the
Project Area. The City Council has previously determined that the Project Area is an
P6402-0001 \ 1062962v3.doc
area in which the combination of conditions of blight are so prevalent and so substantial
that there is a reduction of, or lack of, proper utilization of the area to such an extent that
it constitutes a serious physical, social and economic burden on the community which
cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise or
governmental action, or both, without redevelopment. Among other things, the Project
Area contains vacant and underutilized properties, properties that suffer from
depreciated or stagnant property values and impaired investments, and deteriorated,
aged and obsolete buildings. Such conditions tend to further deterioration and disuse
because of the lack of incentive to landowners and their inability to improve, modernize
or rehabilitate their property while the condition of the neighboring property remains
unchanged. In addition, the Project Area is characterized by the existence of
inadequate public improvements and utilities, which cannot be remedied by private or
governmental action without redevelopment.
The development of the Sheriff Station will result in the development of a previously
undeveloped property, correct deficient street improvements serving the Property,
provide expanded public safety facilities needed to provide adequate police services to
the Project Area, assist in the revitalization of the Project Area, create additional jobs,
and help remedy the lack of adequate public improvements serving the Project Area,
thereby eliminating a factor which substantially hinders the economically viable use of
property and buildings within the Project Area. All of the foregoing will assist in
encouraging private sector investment in the Project Area and will assist in eliminating
blighting conditions in the Project Area.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT
HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES, RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and a substantive
part of this Resolution.
Section 2. Based upon the foregoing and other information presented
to the City Council, the City Council hereby finds and determines that: (i) the payment
of certain fees by the Agency in connection with the construction of the Sheriff Station
and the sale of the Property by the Agency to the County pursuant to the Cooperative
Agreement is consistent with the Agency's implementation plan adopted pursuant to
Health and Safety Code Section 33490; (ii) the Sheriff Station will be of benefit to the
Project Area and the immediate neighborhood in which the Sheriff Station will be
located; and (iii) the payment of certain fees by the Agency in connection with the
construction of the Sheriff Station and sale of the Property to the County by the Agency
pursuant to the Cooperative Agreement will assist in the elimination of one or more
blighting conditions inside the Project Area.
Section 3. Subject to the Board of Supervisors of the County holding a
duly noticed public hearing pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33679
regarding the Agency's proposed sale of the Property to the County pursuant to the
Cooperative Agreement and finding that no other reasonable means of financing the
construction of the Sheriff Station is available to the County other than entering into the
P6402-0001 \ 10629620.doc 2
Cooperative Agreement with the Agency, the City Council hereby approves (a) the
Cooperative Agreement, and (b) the sale of the Property to the County pursuant to the
Cooperative Agreement.
Section 4. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed,
jointly and severally, to do any and all things and to execute and deliver any and all
documents which they may deem necessary or advisable in order to effectuate the
purposes of this Resolution and any such actions previously taken by such officers are
hereby ratified and confirmed.

SUMMARY REPORT
CITY OF PALM DESERT
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA NO. 2
SHERIFF STATION
PROPOSED SALE OF PROPERTY BY THE PALM DESERT
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE FOR
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SHERIFF STATION THEREON BY THE
COUNTY PURSUANT TO A PROPOSED COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN THE AGENCY AND THE COUNTY
I. INTRODUCTION
In order to effectuate the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan for Project Area
No 2 (the "Project Area"), pursuant to provisions of the Community
Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code Section 33000, et seq.),
and in particular Section 33445 thereof, the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency
(the "Agency") proposes to enter into that certain Cooperative Agreement
Between the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency and County of Riverside
Concerning the Construction Financing and Acquisition of Sheriff Station (the
"Cooperative Agreement") with the County of Riverside (the "County") pursuant
to which the Agency will sell to the County that certain real property in the Project
Area consisting of approximately 10.87 acres located on the south side of Gerald
Ford Drive between Monterey and Portola Avenues in the City of Palm Desert
(the "City"), together with all easements, rights and privileges appurtenant thereto
(the "Property") and the County will construct on the Property a sheriff station and
related regional offices and administrative facilities consisting of at least 80,000
square feet of building area, voice and data communication facilities, a vehicle
storage yard and a helipad and other amenities such as landscaping, parking
areas and related public improvements, including improvements to Gerald Ford
Drive (collectively, the "Sheriff Station"). In consideration for the sale of the
Property by the Agency to the County, the County agrees to execute and deliver
to the Agency that certain Lease Termination Agreement, which terminates the
lease dated as of February 2, 1989, by and between the Agency, as lessor, and
the County, as lessee, pursuant to which the Agency leases to the County the
real property and sheriff station improvements thereon (the "Original Sheriff
Station") located at the Civic Center in the City (the "Original Lease"). The
proposed Cooperative Agreement (which includes the Lease Termination
Agreement), in substantially final form, and related documents are on file in the
office of the City Clerk and the Clerk of the County Board and available for public
inspection.
P6402-000I\I059248v4.doc 1
II. ESTIMATE OF AMOUNT OF TAXES PROPOSED TO BE USED BY THE
AGENCY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SHERIFF STATION
On August 18, 1999, the Agency purchased a 38.70-acre site, which includes the
Property, for $2,132,301 or a cost per acre of $55,098. The Property constitutes
28.09 percent of the larger site meaning that the pro rata land acquisition cost for
the Property was $598,918. The $598,918 land acquisition cost was funded by
an interest -only loan from the City, with interest calculated at the appropriate
Local Agency Investment Fund rate earned on the investment of City funds. The
Agency's total interest payments on the loan through fiscal year 2007-08 equal
$213,677.
In addition, the Original Sheriff Station was financed by the Agency with the
proceeds of tax allocation bonds issued by the Agency. These bonds were
refunded with the proceeds of bonds issued by the Palm Desert Financing
Authority and loaned to the Agency. Pursuant to the Original Lease, the Agency
pays a portion of its loan repayments to the Authority (which the Authority uses to
pay debt service on its bonds) with moneys the Agency would otherwise be
required to pass through to the County under an existing pass through
agreement between the Agency and the County. The Lease Termination
Agreement provides for the termination of the Original Lease by the earlier of (i)
the issuance by the County of a certificate of occupancy for the Sheriff Station or
(ii) 730 days after the grant deed conveying the Property to the County is
recorded in the County Recorder's office (which must occur no later than 180
days after the County and Agency execute the Cooperative Agreement). Upon
termination of the Original Lease, the Agency's right to use County pass through
amounts to repay the Authority loan will terminate and loan repayments
thereafter will be payable solely from tax increment revenues allocated to the
Agency. It is estimated that at the time the Original Lease terminates, debt
service on the Authority loan through the maturity date of the Authority bonds is
estimated to equal approximately $2,500,000 (this amount will vary depending on
when the Original Lease is terminated and depending on whether the Agency
prepays the Authority loan).
The County will pay for the cost of constructing the Sheriff Station, all related
infrastructure improvements, and all fees and costs for complying with the
California Environmental Quality Act. In addition, the County will pay for all
planning, building and safety, and public works fees. It is anticipated that the
County will use proceeds of bonds to be issued by the Riverside County Palm
Desert Financing Authority to pay these costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Agency shall initially pay all development, entitlement and impact fees
payable to the City with respect to the Sheriff Station and the County shall
reimburse the Agency for all such fees that constitute Development Fees under
the Cooperative Agreement. It is estimated that the non -reimbursed fees to be
paid by the Agency will not exceed $50,000.
P6402-0001\10592480.doc 2
III. DETERMINATIONS REQUIRED UNDER HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
SECTION 33445(a)
A. No Other Reasonable Means of Financing is Available
The budget constraints of the City prevent the City from financing the costs of the
Sheriff Station by any means. Traditional methods of financing are unavailable to
the City as a practical matter because of voter approval requirements. The state
budget crisis, and legislative proposals to address the budget crisis, have also
created a great deal of concern over the City's ability to meet its existing and
future obligations.
No other reasonable means of financing the construction of the Sheriff Station
other than through the sale of the Property to the County by the Agency pursuant
to the Cooperative Agreement in consideration of the County entering into the
Lease Termination Agreement are available to the County.
B. The Sheriff Station Will Assist in the Elimination of Blight in
the Project Area; Redevelopment Purpose of the Sheriff
Station
The Sheriff Station will serve the residents, employees, and taxpayers of the City,
including the Project Area. The City Council of the City of Palm Desert
previously determined that the Project Area an area in which the combination of
conditions of blight is so prevalent and so substantial that it causes a reduction
of, or lack of, proper utilization of the area to such an extent that it constitutes a
serious physical, social and economic burden on the community which cannot
reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise or
governmental action, or both, without redevelopment.
Since the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area, the Agency
has acted as a catalyst to accomplish redevelopment of the Project Area.
However, conditions of blight still exist throughout the Project Area. Among other
things, the Project Area contains vacant and underutilized properties, properties
that suffer from depreciated or stagnant property values and impaired
investments, and deteriorated, aged and obsolete buildings. Such conditions
tend to further deterioration and disuse because of the lack of incentive to
landowners and their inability to improve, modernize or rehabilitate their property
while the condition of the neighboring property remains unchanged. In addition,
the Project Area is characterized by the existence of inadequate public
improvements and utilities, which cannot be remedied by private or governmental
action without redevelopment.
The development of the Sheriff Station will result in the development of a
previously undeveloped property, will correct deficient street improvements
P6402-0001 V 059248v4.doc 3
serving the Property, will provide needed public safety facilities, assist in the
revitalization of the Project Area, create additional jobs, and help remedy the lack
of adequate public improvements serving the Project Area, thereby eliminating a
factor which substantially hinders the economically viable use of property and
buildings within the Project Area. All of the foregoing will assist in encouraging
private sector investment in the Project Area and will assist in eliminating
blighting conditions in the Project Area.
Based on the foregoing, the Sheriff Station will assist in eliminating conditions of
blight within the Project Area and will serve a basic purpose of redevelopment,
which includes the provision of structures as may be appropriate or necessary in
the interest of the general welfare, including public safety facilities. In addition, a
fundamental purpose of redevelopment is to provide an environment for the
social, economic and psychological growth and well-being of all citizens. The
proposed new Sheriff Station will provide a modern and efficient facility that
serves the residents, employees and taxpayers of the City and the Project Area,
which is necessary for the well-being of the community and the general welfare.

request from the County to issue the Certificate of Completion, the Agency shall provide the
County with a written statement of the reasons the Agency refused or failed to issue a Certificate

of the work not yet completed as determined by the Agency. The determination of fair value shall
be made by the Agency in the exercise of its reasonable judgment.

with the issuance of the Bonds for so long as such agreements have not been terminated pursuant
to their terms and the Property and Improvements remain subject to the provisions thereof.

and the County's transferees, successors and assigns shall maintain the Property and the

origin or ancestry in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of
the Property, and the County (itself or any person claiming under or through the County) shall

said breach. In the event that County shall fail to cure such breach within said sixty (60) day
period, Agency shall have the right at its option to repurchase, reenter and take possession of the
Property and the Improvements. Such right to repurchase, reenter and repossess shall, however,
be subordinate and subject to, be limited by, and shall not defeat, render invalid, or limit any
lease, installment purchase or similar agreement entered into by the County in connection with
the issuance of the Bonds for so long as such agreements have not been terminated pursuant to
their terms and the Property and Improvements remain subject to the provisions thereof. To
exercise its rights to repurchase, reenter and take possession of the Property, Agency shall pay to
County an amount of Four Million Four Hundred Two Thousand Three Hundred Fifty Dollars
($4,402,350) and the County and Agency agree to promptly execute all documents and
instruments necessary to effect such repurchase, reentry and taking of possession by the Agency

and Agency and consistent with the provisions of this Section 5.5). Agency's right to
repurchase, reenter and take possession of the Property pursuant to this Section 5.5 must be
exercised, if at all, by giving written notice to County within six (6) months after the later of:

failure to act as set forth above and (ii) the date of termination of the agreements related to the
Bonds described in Section 5.1 or the release of the Property or Improvements from the
provisions thereof. Agency shall repurchase, reenter and take possession of the Property by
closing escrow within six (6) months after giving such notice.
Section 5.6 First Right to Purchase Property. If the County Board of Supervisors shall
determine that it no longer needs to own and operate the Improvements for any uses permitted by
this Agreement and further determines that the Property and the Improvements should be
conveyed as surplus property, then in such event the Agency, subject to the requirements and
processes of the Government Code dealing with surplus real property sales, shall be given the
first opportunity to purchase the Property and the Improvements from the County. Such offer to
sell by the County and purchase by the Agency (in the exercise of its sole and absolute
discretion) shall conform to the requirements applicable to the sale of surplus property by the
County and such other terms and conditions as the County and Agency shall reasonably agree.

Section 7.1 have been fulfilled shall be deposited with the Agency by the County before
December 31 of each calendar year. To the extent to which the County self -insures, the County's
risk manager, or an independent insurance consultant, shall certify to the Agency, before

permitted hereunder. Such covenant shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Agency, shall provide that the Agency shall be a third party beneficiary thereof, and shall
provide that no enforcement of the covenant by the Agency will defeat, render invalid, or limit
either the County's obligations under such lease or installment purchase or similar agreement, or
the rights of the holders of the Bonds or the Bond Trustee on their behalf, to cause the Property
and the Improvements to be used for purposes other than as a sheriff's station. In addition, the
Agency shall be given the opportunity to review all documents pertaining to the Bonds prior to
their approval or execution by the County or RCPDFA, and all such documents shall be in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agency.

expiration of this Agreement, or before or after the conveyance of the Property;
(vi) County's indemnity obligations set forth in this section shall not
extend to any damages, losses, or liabilities incurred by the Agency to the extent such losses or
liabilities are caused by or contributed to by the negligent or intentionally wrongful acts of the
Agency, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; or
(vii) County's indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 7.3 shall
survive the Close of Escrow, and the recordation of the Grant Deed, and shall not be deemed to

County, any and all of its respective agents, employees, attorneys and representatives, from and
against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages (including consequential damages), penalties, fines

be in the amount of $2,540,573. The present
value of that note is $2,053,265 @ 5%.
This analysis projects recurring expenditures
based on potential use by the City. The
opportunity exists however for rental income
on 37,897 s.f. (either by the County Sheriff or
another source).
