EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR University Planning Committee / State Deqartment of Finance (DOF� — Mr. Wohlmuth referred back to the note during the City Clerk's Reports on today's City Council Meeting Agenda (Section XVIII - Item C) about the University Planning Committee Meeting scheduled for April 25 at 2:00 p.m. He added that Meeting will discuss the UCR Land Transfer, forwhich the related Disposition and Development Agreement identifies a process. Even though DOF has approved it, the City needs to go through its process in order to formally transfer the land to UCR. At the same meeting, it is the intent to discuss the Cal State property so that at some point in the very near future, it can be transferred to them as well. Secondly, he said Palm Desert received DOF's response on the Due Diligence Review for the Redevelopment Agency (DDR-RDA), which was performed following the Due Diligence Review done and already approved for the Housing aspect of Redevelopment. Staff will be meeting and conferring with DOF on the DDR-RDA, as there are some significant problems, including what staff believes to be a multi-million dollar mistake by DOF. He will keep the City Council/SuccessorAgency Board informed as staff goes through this process. In response to question about the University Planning Committee, he said that the Disposition and Development Agreement provides for the Mayor and President of Cal State to select the Committee Chair, and the Mayor and the CSUSB- Palm Desert Campus Dean, through CSUSB's President, let him know that they would like Dr. Bill Kroonen to serve in this capacity. He confirmed that Dr. Kroonen had accepted this invitation. 3 PRELIMINARY MINUTES DRAFT SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING APRIL 11, 2013 B.
