Gibson, Director of Finance DATE: July 10, 2014 CONTENTS: Memorandum of Understanding Recommendation By Minute Motion that the City Council and Successor Agency Board receive and file the Memorandum of Understanding Related to the Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement ("Agreement") for the Portola Avenue/I-10 Interchange Project by and among the Coachella Valley Association of Governments ("CVAG"), the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency ("Successor Agency") and the City of Palm Desert and authorize City Manager to execute related documents. Background On February 28, 2008, City Council approved Contract No. C27330B with Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) to participate in the funding of the future construction of the Portola Avenue/I-10 Interchange. On March 13, 2014, City Council and the Successor Agency Board approved the Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement, substantially as to form, approving funding of the local portion of this project. Section 2(b) of the agreement provides CVAG the ability to deposit the funds in an interest bearing Escrow Account at any City selected financial institution. Based on staff's research relative to the conditions and requirements applied to these funds, staff believes the most advantageous institution for these funds to be the California Asset Management Program ("CAMP"). The MOU clarifies the agreement to include CAMP as an approved financial institution for this purpose. As part of the finalization of the agreement, the City Manager has approved the Memorandum of Understanding with CVAG to clarify the agreement for the Portola/I-10 Interchange Project.
