The source of City funds was intended to be funds received through repayment to the City by the Agency using proceeds from the sale to the Port district of real property located at 980 Lagoon Drive, owned by the Agency. The Agency is currently in escrow for the sale of that property to the Port and $250,000 of purchase funds that the Port has deposited are immediately available. Staff has negotiated with the OTC a Funding Agreement which commits the OTC to providing and enhancing certain programs, functions and activities that benefit the local community. RECOMMENDATION: That Agency/Council adopt a resolution approving an appropriation for Agency repayment of $250,000 of loaned funds to the City, approving a Funding Agreement for the provision by the City of $250,000 to the Olympic Training Center and appropriating funds therefor. BOARDStCOMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:Not applicable. DISCUSSION: In 1994, then Mayor Tim Nader requested of the Port District that they purchase a 2.63 acre parcel located at 980 Lagoon Drive, otherwise known as the Shangri-la site, and develop and maintain a park on the site when the City moved forward on the proposed development plan for the Midbayfront. The Port agreed to enter into negotiations for that purchase. Due largely to issues regarding environmental contamination, land use restrictions and other perceived title issues, the negotiations between Port and Agency staff became protracted. After considerable environmental study and negotiation of terms and conditions for the purchase and sale, the Agency and Port entered into an agreement for disposition of the property. The purchase price was set at $980,000. However, because of projected costs associated with building and foundation demolition and environmental remediation, it is anticipated that the net proceeds from the sale will be considerably less. As a part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Port agreed to deposit into escrow a sum of ~500,000 for the Agency and/or City to use. No specific restrictions on the use of the money are identified in the Agreement, but / Page 2, Item ~ Meeting Date 02/02/99 the intent was that the Agency would clean up and clear the site prior to close of escrow using those funds. The deposit has been released to the Agency. The current cost estimate for environmental cleanup and demolition of the remaining concrete and foundations is under $250,000. Therefore, removing $250,000 from the CIP balance should not adversely affect site restoration. However, it is not known if there is any additional contamination beneath the concrete pads. Additional testing will need to be conducted after the concrete demolition and removal is completed. Staff is currently preparing bid specifications for that work and it is anticipated that a contract can be let in early 1999. The $500,000 advanced to the Agency by the Port is considered to be a loan that will be repaid under one of two conditions: 1) closure of escrow and deduction of the loan amount plus interest from the purchase price of the property, or 2) in the event that escrow does not close and the Agreement is terminated, the $500,000 plus interest would be deducted from the Port's CIP budget for the City. The .~250,000 donation from the City would come from a $250,000 payment (debt reduction) from the Agency out of the money deposited for sale of the Shangri-la site. The proceeds of the debt reduction coming to the City has not been budgeted for other purposes in the current fiscal year and is therefore available for the recommended purpose. The proposed ~250,000 donation to the OTC is consistent with the concept previously approved by Council. The attached agreement with the Olympic Training Center outlines the benefits that the City and the public in general intend to derive from the facility, and states that the donation is being made on the condition that such benefits are maintained and/or improved. The money is currently available in CIP Account# 600 6000 RD229. The funds need to be transferred to the Bayfront/Town Centre I Project Area and appropriated as a loan repayment to the General Fund, then an appropriation from the General Fund would be required for the actual donation. The amount remaining in the CIP for cleanup of the Shangri-la site ($250,000) is currently anticipated to be sufficient to complete the cleanup and demolition work. It should be noted, however, that if additional money is needed to remediate unforeseen environmental issues, additional funds for that purpose would need to be appropriated. FISCAL IMPACT: The source of the $250,000 to be donated is land sale proceeds for the Shangri-la property, paid to the City by the Agency to reduce the Agency's debt to the General Fund. The funds are not budgeted for the current fiscal year. There is sufficient debt from the Agency to the City to accommodate this transaction. The net fiscal impact to the General Fund is a $250,000 reduction in the amount owed by the Redevelopment Agency.
