CityCouncil | 2014-11-18 | 10 | The Assistant City Attorney responded both the City Manager, as the landlord, and the Planning Board would approve the plans. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft requested language be specified in the ENA to clarify the roles of the City Manager and the Planning Board with regard to the review and approval of the tenant improvement plans. The Assistant City Attorney stated staff would clarify the language. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the City Attorney would also be involved in the determination of the proposed ground lease being placed on the Council agenda, to which the Assistant City Attorney responded in the affirmative; stated the City Attorney's Office and Community Development Department will negotiate the ground lease; once a mutually beneficial agreement is reached between the tenant and the City, the City Manager can decide to place it on the Council agenda. In response to Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, the Assistant City Attorney stated the museum would take over insuring the building at the execution of the ground lease. In response to Councilmember Tam's inquiry, the Assistant City Attorney stated the ENA is broken into three parts; the first 12 months will be to meet a financial milestone of $2.1 million; an additional 12 months to reach the second financial milestone of $3.5 million; the last six months will be the bulk of negotiations; by the final part, the City would know the tenant is capable of funding the improvements; the lease would be $1.00 per year, plus the capital improvements which would be negotiated as part of the ground lease; the regulatory entitlement process would also happen in the last six months. Councilmember Tam inquired whether a ground lease agreement requires four votes of the Council, to which the Assistant City Attorney responded in the affirmative. Mayor Gilmore noted that an ENA only requires three votes. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether there is a County agency in the old children's library, to which the Economic Development Division Manager responded in the negative; stated the agency vacated the building last year. Larry Zartarian and Michael Schiess, Pacific Pinball Museum, gave a Power Point presentation and showed a movie. Councilmember Chen moved approval of the staff recommendation. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 1.
