A. 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.
