CityCouncil | 2020-03-03 | 7 | Manager, as Designated Real Property Negotiators for the West Midway Project; 3) Approve the Finding that the West Midway Project is Not Subject to the Surplus Lands Act as Amended; and 4) Direct Staff to Include a $350,000 Appropriation for the RESHAP Project Backbone Infrastructure Design in the Mid-Year Budget. The Community Development Director gave a Power Point presentation. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether staff has considered having market rate funding fund the $350,000 appropriation. The Community Development Director responded should the City Council not appropriate the funds, the cost will be an obligation to the market rate developer; stated the work would not start until the developer is selected, an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) and a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) are negotiated; there is also opportunity to structure the $350,000 as a loan to be repaid by the developer once selected. Councilmember Daysog inquired about the plans for the commissary building. The Community Development Director responded the building needs to be demolished. The City Manager stated the concept for the funding is to pull funds from the General Fund as a loan and decide whether to forgive the loan at a later date or apply the loan to the Development Agreement (DA). Councilmember Oddie inquired about the timeline for the project. The Community Development Director responded the RFQ will be published no later than Monday with four weeks to respond. Councilmember Oddie questioned whether a staff recommendation will be included. The Community Development Director responded in the affirmative; stated staff anticipates receiving proposals and conducting interviews; staff will return to Council with a recommendation. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether there is an estimate on when staff will return to Council, to which the Community Development Director responded staff anticipates returning to Council with a recommendation at the first meeting in June. Councilmember Oddie inquired the timeline should Council decide not to declare the project exempt from the Surplus Lands Act (SLA). Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft responded the land is exempt.
