Not a part of the Public Hearing, but a related item. (Community Development Director)
Mr. Boogaard called for a point of order which was a contlict issue. Mr. Padilla's father was a high ranking
official in Chicago Title which happened to be the title company the Citron's were dealing with for the proposal.
It was not a financial contlict because Mr. Padilla would not receive any financial gain whatsoever from the
transaction. Under the Contlict of Interest Law, the Political Reform Act, it was not a contlict of interest and he
would be entitled to participate. Upon reading page 37 the proposed Disposition and Development Agreement there
was a provision on Contlict of Interest which was drafted broader than the Political Reform Act in order to try and
achieve a greater sense of propriety in dealing with a Disposition and Developmenl Agreement. That could have
been interpreted, Mr. Padilla believes, to include personal familial interests versus, albeit it indirect, personal
financial interests which the Political Reform Act dealt with. In the absence of a proposal to modify paragraph 7.2,
it might be interpreted to be broader than the political refonn act. Mr. Padilla's concern was that tbe way it
currently read, even though the contract was not in force, the minute it was approved he might be violating that
particular clause. He did not want to do that and proposed to abstain from participation in the issue. It was his
opinion that the personal familial interest was not intended to be covered by the clause and in order to give Mr.
Padilla peace of mind to participate he recommended that the words "personal interest" be amended to read
"personal financial interest".
MSC (MootJAlevy) to add the word "financial" between "personal" and "interest" in paragraph 7.2 of the
Development and Disposition Agreement. Approved 4-0-0-1 with Padilla abstaining.
Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, stated they were at the end of a very difficult process. Most
redevelopment projects had complications and involved innovative and creative solutions. The main issues
unresolved on the Broadway Business Home project centered around some development agreement provisions. The
most significant of those dealt with the process for the acquisition of the property. Staff was prepared to discuss
those with the Agency and make recommendations. That had been done in Closed Session previously and may be
the Agency's wish again.
Member Rindone stated the Agency/Council had given direction to staff at the last meeting and questioned if it was
staff's belief that there was significant new information since that direction.
Mr. Salomone responded that staff wanted to have the opportunity t~ articulate the differences. He felt there were
four different proposals that had been somewhat defined in front of the Agency/Council. The Agency/Council
direction bad been clearly communicated to the applicant.

8 Katrina D. Newby, 2270 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, CA, Executive Director of the Home Business
Network, supported the Broadway Business Homes. She served as the Home Business Consultant for the Small
Business Development Center at Southwestern College where she consulted on a daily basis an average of ten home
based business owners. Home based businesses were spreading rapidly and was not just the mom/pop operation.
The problem was that they were growing out of tbeir homes. She felt the project was very valuable because it gave
people the opportunity to stay in Chula Vista and at the same time have conunercial space. She hoped the project
would not be held up. On an average there were 50-60 new home based businesses started up weekly in the area.
8 R.E. Chandler, 3971 Darwin Avenue, San Diego, CA, stated he owned a business on Broadway from 1970
- 1979. He felt the project would offer a great opportunity for the small businessman. He wanted to see the project
go forward as he was very interest in possibly purchasing a unit.
8 Joseph S. Fialho, 723 1/2 Ostend Court, San Diego, CA, stated the project was needed to bring Chula
Vista in competition with the bigger cities.
8 Patty Davis, 13751117 Callejon Montefrio, Chula Vista, CA, stated alter reviewing the project she felt it
would be an asset to the western portion of Chula Vista. She had clients that were interested in a home based
business. The City was viewed as being very progressive and urged Agency/Council support.
8 Rod Davis, 233 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, representing the Chula Vista Chamber of Conunerce,
stated the County was building 17 units of lowllow income housing on Palomar and Broadway which would bring
17 new families to shop at the Broadway Business Homes. The Redevelopment Agency was not in business to make
good deals, that was what private industry was for, they were in business to cure blight and improve the quality of
life and living conditions in the conununity and he felt that was what the project would do on Broadway. Forty
percent of the new business licenses per month were home businesses. The project would succeed and made the
City of Chula Vista a leader and model throughout the State. The Chamber urged Agency/Council support.
8 Joanne Clayton, 760 Fifth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, President of the Broadway Business Association,
stated Broadway with over 650 businesses represented a large percentage of the business revenue in the City. The
Broadway Business Home project had the full support of the Association because it represented a new and unique
opportunity for the area. They felt it was necessary for all business projects wanting to locate in the City to koow
that the City was business friendly and could work with the developers in a positive and rapid way. The Broadway
Business Association urged the Agency/Council to move forward with the project.
8 Josef Citron, 761 Golden Park, San Diego, CA, Applicant, revisited the project. Two weeks ago he felt
everyone was a victim of a misunderstanding. They had spoken with most of the Agency/Council Members
individually to shed light on the project. They were dedicated to the project and had made a proposal on their
proposal which they felt went a long way in meeting the concerns expressed as the result of the last meeting. He
was appealing for the Agency/Council to work with them. They had not advertised the project, but word-of-mouth
had already brought them interest in purchase of four of the first six units. They felt the project would be an
enormous success and the benefits to the City would be quite great.
Chair/Mayor Horton questioned if it could be discussed in open session.
Mr. Boogaard responded that it could but if the Agency/Council gave staff new instructions the applicant would be
hearing them. If the Agency/Council wanted staff to achieve any negotiating advantage it would be lost by
discussing it publicly. He recommended that staff describe the negotiating movement in Closed Session.
* * * Council met in Closed Session at 11:02 p.m. and reconvened at 11:52 p.m. * * .
Mr. Salomone stated it was the position of the Agency/Council that in their previous deliberations that the
Agency/Council considered all the elements of the project, i.e. the demolition of the site, remediation work, cost
and value of the land. In that meeting staff conveyed to the developer the Agency/Council reconunendation that
the land be acquired in two parts, $275,000 for the first half and $275,000 for the second half for a total land cost
of $550,000. They revisited all those items in Closed Session and a new proposal the applicant offered and the
Agency/Council reiterated the position that they came to previously. After reviewing that the write down and

participation on the part of the City, the demolition of the site, risk the City was taking and the opportunity costs
that the City was involved in they still wanted to see the site purchased in two phases with $275,000 in advance of
the first half and in advance of the demolition.
Mr. Citron stated they had arranged financing for six units first. They did not have the financing arrangements to
take down half the property at the present time. If that was the Council's position they would have to go back to
the lender and re-Iook at the financing and investment situation. It began to get less affordable to be able to sell
the units at a reasonable price which was what they wanted to do. He questioned if there was a way the Council
could consider the request, at least for them to take down the property with the six units and then do the other two
portions which would allow them to do the marketing and modify the rest of units to accOlrunodate the buying public
and keep it market driven. As far as the Agency not being willing to participate as had been part of their
understanding originally, it was something that they could look at and do what they could, but to require that they
change from three phases to two would make them go back to square one with the financing. They had already
lost three lenders and the project was under hardship at the present time. He strongly requested that the Council
allow them to take down the property in three phases. The pay down suggested in their proposal was $92,000
which would be the biggest part, if not all, of the demolition costs. That would be paid in cash up front in order
to get the project underway. They would get the project underway just as soon as the demolition was completed.
If the Council could not do that they would have to see if there was some other way of doing the project under the
new terms.
Chair/Mayor Horton stated with the $275,000 it did not mean they had to build the whole 50% at one time. They
would have the option to build six units.
Mr. Citron stated he understood that, but to carry that purchase price during that period of time would boost the
price and the buyer would have to pay more for no more product. They wanted to make them affordable.
Member Moot questioned if they could defer the cost to the second phase.
Mr. Citron responded that they would try to amortize it over the entire project, but they already had over $86,000
in costs which had to be added on to the price for which the buyers were getting no benefit. It had been sixteen
months and to add that on would be one more straw to break the camels back. The amortization of that over the
36 units would mean they would have to get a great deal more financing. The City's risk was minimal. They also
felt their risk was minimal because of the salability of the project as long as tbey could hold their prices.
Member Rindone stated the Agency/Council was not convinced at the present time that the risk to the City was
minimal. He questioned if there would be an interest in doing a third of the project with 12 units instead of six.
Mr. Citron responded that they would have to redesign the project. The first building was six units and the next
building was eight units. They were ready to go for building permits once the decision was made.
Member Riudone stated the majority of the members of the Agency/Council were still interested in the project, but
were not convinced that the risk was as minimal as being projected. The description of the proposed terms by staff
did truly rellect the majority of the Agency/Council.
Mr. Citron stated they would only be taking down the land for the first six units and would in no way be hurting
the rest of the land. It was his understanding that the tire store owner to the north wanted to take all or as much
of the property he could get. The Community Development Director expressed to him that he felt the risk was
minimized because there was another buyer.
Chair/Mayor Horton stated that other offers did not play into the decision made by the Agency/Council. They were
two totally different issues. Their concern was their financial responsibility to the taxpayers.
Member Moot stated the Agency/City demolition costs and out of pocket expenses exceeded what the Citron's were
willing to pay and that jeopardized the taxpayers money. That did not look like a good economic deal to the
Agency/Council.

Mr. Salomone stated the total contract was for $107,000 and the site remediation brought it up to $124,000 which
was the total up front costs to the City.
Mr. Citron stated they had been working with the demolition contractor and they felt by working together they could
save money for the City and the project. It was his understanding that they expected the costs to be around
$86,000. The amount of money for the release on the six units of land would be almost $92,000. The City would
only be releasing that portion of land and most of that did not have a lot of demolition required.
Member Moot stated the Agency/Council would lose money if they only built six units.
Mr. Citron stated they had been in the business for over thirty years and had been building in San Diego since 1972.
They had yet to start a project they did not finish or purchase anything that they did not complete. They were
basing all of the their projections and their willingness to go into the project on their experience. They would build
36 business homes and sell them. He projected they would be out of there by next March. He requested that the
Agency/Council help them. By making one slight compromise to their position and allow them to go ahead with
a loan that was already set they could go forward with the six units. The change would take them as much as three
or four months to start over again. They would build the 36 units and pay the City for the land. If they made any
more money the City had a recapture in the agreement. He requested that they be allowed to take down the project
iu three phases, i.e. six, twelve, and eighteen units.
Member Padilla stated there was a great deal of respect for Mr. Citron, his investors, and their accomplishments.
The Agency/Council had to reach a decision as to what was a prudent risk to take and where the risk appropriately
belonged. Members had given staff direction and he did not feel it prudent for the Agency/Council to publicly
debate the staff estimates of potential costs, risks, or losses or to renegotiate the position taken. The integrity of
the Agency/Council needed to be solid when a decision was made and to be consistent in order to maintain
credibility. He felt the majority of the Agency/Council wanted to see the project work but there were
responsibilities that were real, risks that were real, considerations that were real and they would be remiss in their
responsibilities if they ignored them.
Mr. Citron appreciated Member Padilla's comments. He felt the written record and video would show that was
his concern, i.e. the consistency. He was questioning the consistency of action due to the change of position taken
by the Agency/Council. It was not consistent with what they had been told, promised, or what action was taken.
If they had known that six to nine months ago when they first came before the Agency/Councilor fifteen months
ago when they presented their written proposal and had it responded to in May, June, or July rather than the
following February they could have made their plans perhaps to do the deal as currently requested. Because it was
not presented to them that way he requested the Agency/Council consideration. All of the work that was done was
based on what they understood the Agency/Council wanted.
Chair/Mayor Horton stated the financial aspects disclosed to the Agency/Council were a great surprise. The
majority of the Agency/Council felt it was a full cash transaction, i.e. that the City was being paid the full purchase
price up front. The Agency/Council never acted on the type of financing, payment, or how the property would be
brought down for the units. Direction was never given.
Mr. Citron stated he had been told that and most Members had been good enough to meet with them to discuss the
documents they had been working under. He was trying to put the best face on it and call it a misunderstanding.
It was a very embarrassing situation for them as well and they came back with a counter offer. It was now set up
to do six units with two other phases.
. Lenore Citron, 761 Golden Park, San Diego, CA, Applicant, stated no one brought up the price other than
the letter that had been written to tbem. No one brought up the price of $275,000. They had a letter that said one
thing and it got all mixed up and they ended up with egg on their faces and she resented it. They were good
business people and they had done what they said they were going to do. At the eleventh hour it was not a good
thing to do to people that wanted to do a good thing for the City.
Chair/Mayor Horton stated they were not disputing the fact that they were good business people. She was sorry
that there was a problem with mis-communication, but it was something the Agency/Council never discussed.

Mrs. Citron stated it was not something that they were thinking but something that they had read that came from
the City staff.
Chair/Mayor Horton stated staff had reiterated the Citron's request. The letter contained a disclaimer at the
beginning of the letter that stated it was not an offer, had not been to Council, or discussed by the Council. They
were reiterating the Citron's discussions with staff.
Mrs. Citron stated that was not how the letter read.
Mr. Boogaard read the paragraph from the letter: "Dear Josef and Lenore, This letter responds to the various issues
which you have raised concerning the above referenced proposal. This response is not to be considered an offer
on the part of the Agency or the City to enter into an agreement with you regarding your proposal, but merely
represented a sununary of the current status of the main points of a Disposition and Development Agreement that
you have proposed between you and the Agency concerning the project."
Mrs. Citron stated that was not the whole letter. She stated that it was required that land be delivered that was clean
and that the land was not clean or the Agency/City would not have had people out examining it. It was a
responsibility that belonged to whoever the previous owner was. Some of which the Agency/City was making their
responsibility was not their responsibility. The letter said "It is contemplated that the site will be delivered to the
developer demolished and cleared at the Agency's expense". City people wrote it she did not. It also said "On the
price reduction, the Agency acquired the site for $1.8 million and presently contemplated to permit development
on the site. The Agency would convey the site to the developer for a purchase price which is something less than
that amount. One-half of this purchase price would be paid upon conveyance of each half of the site. Purchase
price payment will be deferred until production unit sales." She stated that was very confusing to her and she did
not understand how that was interpreted to come up with $275,000. In good faith they had stated they would pay
for the first six units with cash and asked the Agency/Council to work with them.
Mr. Boogaard advised the Agency/Council not to argue the point from the dais although there were very valid
counterpoints. It would not behoove anyone to argue the points publicly.
Mrs. Citron questioned why not, she felt the taxpayers should know what was going on.
Chair/Mayor Horton did not feel a response was necessary. She was sorry there had heen a mis-conununication
between the Redevelopment Agency and the developer. Member Rindone had been the strongest proponent for the
project and he did not know the proposal for financing the project.
Mr. Citron stated that was not in their proposal, it came from the Agency. Their original proposal was to buy the
property and the letter was a counter proposal from the Redevelopment Agency. He requested that they get back
to operating on good faith. They would pay cash for the first phase.
Chair/Mayor Horton stated the paragraph read by the Agency/City Attorney prefaced the letter by stating it was
the Citron's proposal to the City. Never in the letter did it say that the Agency/Council agreed to any of the items
listed.
Mr. Salomone clarified that one of the things that was being represented and important to state was that any project,
and this project was extremely difficult because there was no model for it, began with various negotiations. The
original project did not begin looking anything like the project presented at the present time. The developer worked
countless hours with the staff to deal with issues such as parking, set backs, open space, and amenities. The project
was falling apart week by week. Staff changed the things in the letter substantially. Staff agreed to make a public
street at the developers request and agreed to work with a maintenance district. Those were all unique to the project
and things staff had never encountered. To have documents such as the letter and meetings held and not know
whether or not there was a project until late in the process and then to sit down and negotiate a development
agreement and get tbe development from the agreement that did not replicate that method of acquisition was normal.
Projects evolved and changed and to say that there was bad faith or misrepresentation because of a document early
on in the process begged to open up the other issues that also changed throughout the process. It was a good
c2 -10

Page 7
process and there was good faith on both sides, but it was being mis-characterized that the process was somehow
breached because of the letter.
Mr. Citron stated he respected Mr. Salomone very highly. The only reason they brought up the letter was because
he thought the Agency/Council felt they had been sandbagged by the change in what they understood the deal was
at the very last minute. They had told staff that and told them why that happened. They were acting in good !aith
and used the letters as proof of that. 11 was not who was right but what was right.

a. Member Rindone stated the Agency had received a memorandum from the City Attorney regarding the
issue of spending tax increment outside of a project area and it was his understanding that the Agency had asked
the staff for a report. He questioned when they could anticipate the report.
Mr. Goss stated it was staffs interpretation that it had already been dealt with.
Member Rindone stated he did not know how much money was applicable to the previous or current budget years
and what that implication would be to the Redevelopment Agency.
Mr. Goss responded that would have to be brought back. 11 was his understanding that the Agency took action that
instead of incrementally phasing out the tax increment paying for general economic development that it all be done
one time.
Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, stated staff was preparing the report and it would have a
criteria for the amount that was attributable to the redevelopment areas directly under AB 1290 and the amount that
should be paid for by the General Fund. Staff was still researching that and developing the criteria and he felt it
could be brought back in 2-3 weeks.
Member Rindone requested that it be an agendized item for review by the Redevelopment Agency.
Mr. Goss stated he appreciated the enthusiasm of the Community Development Director, but he insisted that they
give it budget review and the Budget Director was on vacation. He felt it would be approximately one month before
returning to the Agency.
Member Rindone stated one month was acceptable but he did not want to let it go longer than that.

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AGENDA STATEMENT
Item L
Meeting Date 8/01/95
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION /1&1 APPROVING LEASE BETWEEN OTAY VISTA
ASSOCIATES AND THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR OFFICE
SPACE FOR THE OTAY RANCH~OJECT
SUBMITTED BY: Community Deve1,opmeMtor
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~ btj
1 - (4/5ths Vote: Yes - No.xJ
~ Council Referral Number: -
BACKGROUND:
When plans were developed for processing the Otay Ranch Project, it was agreed that the consultants and
staff would occupy offices separate from Public Services because 1) there is no space available in City
Hall buildings, and 2) it was desirable to have the work unit as a separate and discreet unit for the most
expeditious and thorough processing of plans for the Otay Ranch project. Otay Vista Associates is now
leasing office space for the Otay project in the Redevelopment Agency owned EI Dorado building.
The current lease agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and Otay Vista Associates (Otay Ranch
Project) will expire August 2, 1995. A revised lease has been prepared and is attached for the
Redevelopment Agency's consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency adopt a resolution approving a revised, 3-month lease
between the Redevelopment Agency and Otay Vista Associates for office space in the EI Dorado building
for the Otay Ranch Project.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Implementation of the general development plan for the Otay Ranch has been ongoing. During 1995-96,
the Otay Ranch Team will continue to represent the City relative to the Council approved Sphere of
Influence updated study that was filed with LAFCO during 1994-95. In addition, the Baldwin Company
has filed the Spa 1 application for Village 1 and 5 and the Team will process the application and
associated environmental review and subdivision maps. These work tasks will necessitate the continued
use of office space for the Otay Ranch Team.
The proposed lease agreement is basically the same lease as previously used for the Otay Ranch Project
but with one modification. The Team will continue to lease the same general office space; but, the floor
area will be increased from 1,934 sq. ft. to 2,400 sq. ft. to accommodate the additional planners and
engineer approved by the City Council in the 1995-96 Budget for the project Team. The new lease will
be for a 3-month period at the current $1.10 sq. ft. rate with three, optional three-month periods at the
discretion of the City Manager. The lease has been structured with a three-month term and three
quarterly renewal options at the City Manager's discretion in order to protect the Agency from any risk
of the leased premises being occupied by Otay Vista Associates without payment for an extended period
of time, as a result of the Baldwin Company bankruptcy proceeds. The City Attorney advises that it
might be possible that the bankruptcy court could stop the ability of the Agency to evict Otay Vista
Associates for nonpayment for the term of the lease. In addition to the lease cost, the tenant will pay its
1-/

own utilities and janitorial services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Agency will receive $7,920 for each three-month lease period with a maximum revenue of $31,680
for the total four, three-month periods.

further described in this report.

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY/CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item~
Meeting Date 08/01/95
ITEM TITLE: Redevelopment Agency Resolution 1465 and Council Resolution
17985 Approving Substitution of Project Under a Lease Agreement
(Town Centre II Parking Project - Phase Two) and Authorizing and
Directing Certain Actions Therewith
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director. ,M\
REVIEWED BY: Executive Director/City Manage!J1~ 14/5ths Vote: Yes - No XI
BACKGROUND: In 1993, the Agency and City issued $3.1 million in Certificates of
Participation (COPs) to pay the Agency's share of costs related to the construction of the
Town Centre II parking structure at Chula Vista Center. For the purpose of issuing the bonds,
three City owned properties were leased to the Agency, and leased back by the City. With
the goal of generating income from the sale of appropriate property to the Port District to
address budget deficits, staff has been exploring the possibility of selling the City's portion
of Marina View Park to the Port District (approximately one-half of Marina View Park is
already owned by the Port District). As Marina View Park is one of the COPs collateralizing
properties, it would be necessary to substitute a property of equal or greater value in the Site
Lease Agreement, an action which is permitted under that document. The attached
resolutions accomplish the property substitution, which will clear the way for the possible
subsequent sale of the park property to the Port District, if the City/Agency and the Port
District concur.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency and Council adopt the resolutions approving the
property substitution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In 1993, the Agency was obligated to pay the Homart Development Company the amount of
$2.6 million as contribution towards the cost of constructing a public parking garage at the
Chula Vista Center pursuant to the First Addendum to the Disposition and Development
Agreement (DDA) between the Agency and Developer. In order to raise the funds necessary
to make the payment, the City leased certain municipal assets to the Redevelopment Agency
and then leased them back from the Agency. The Agency assigned and transferred its rights
under the lease to First Interstate Bank as Trustee in consideration for the issuance by the
Trustee of 1993 COPs (Town Centre II Parking Project -- Phase II) in the aggregate principal
amount of $3,115,000.
The City properties leased to the Agency and leased back included Fire Station #1, the
Community Development and Legislative Office buildings, and Marina View Park. If the
City/Agency wishes to sell its 2.7 acres of Marina View Park to the Port District to generate
revenues, it is necessary to substitute a municipal property of equal or greater value for
Marina View Park. Section 3.3 of the Lease Agreement for the properties originally leased
allows the substitution pursuant to certain conditions and certifications.
~-/
--. ---------
Page 2, Item ~
Meeting Date 08/01/95
Staff has identified a 3.64 acre section of Memorial Park (easterly half) which would satisfy
the requirements for a substitute parcel. In order to carry out the substitution, it is necessary
for the City Council and Agency to take certain actions and approve certain documents
attached hereto. Specifically, the Council and Agency are requested to:
8 Approve the substitution of the easterly half of Memorial Park for Marina View
Park;
8 Certify that no default has occurred under the original lease;
8 Certify that the substitution does not cause the Agency or City to violate any
of the covenants, representations or warranties made under the lease or Trust
Agreement;
8 Execute the site leases attached to the resolutions with respect to the
substitute parcel;
8 Certification by the City Council that the substitute parcel serves a municipal
purpose and constitutes a property which may be leased under State law.
These actions would have no material effect on the use of either property for park purposes.
Marina View Park would be owned by the Port District and operated as a park. The Port
District would contract with the City for park maintenance for the whole park, rather than the
approximately one-half of the park that is currently under Port ownership. Once the COPs
bonds were paid off (year 2013). the use of Memorial Park for collateralization would expire,
and the property will revert to the City.
FISCAL IMPACT: The recommended action has no fiscal impact on the City or the Agency.
It is merely a substitution of collateral of equal value. If the City/Agency and the Port District
subsequently proceed with the sale of Marina View Park, revenue will be generated for the
City and the Agency.
The value attributed to Marina View Park for the purpose of issuance of the COPs was
$1,534,619. The value of the easterly 3.64 acres of Memorial Park is estimated at
$1 ,744,142, based upon an appraisal of vacant downtown commercial properties including
City parking lots which estimated the value of unimproved land at $10 to $1 2/square foot.
The Port District has valued Marina View Park at $762,000 for the purpose of purchasing the
property from the City. This valuation is based upon a 1995 Port District appraisal, with
which City staff is comfortable. Because the City purchased the land for the City portion of
the park and the Redevelopment Agency paid for the improvements to that portion of the
park, and because the original expenditures for both purchase and improvement were
approximately equal, the sale proceeds from the Port of $762,000 would be spit equally
between the City and the Agency ($381,000 each).
