O0QP.LM S iy � a V N ♦ e � 1C�rrOUREo n°� + rq��FCR`'�P CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DATE: April 18, 2012 UNFINISHED BUSINESS SUBJECT: APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE PROJECT FINANCING AGREEMENT WITH PALM SPRINGS PROMENADE, LLC TO PROVIDE FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS CLOSING WITH THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS 2012 LEASE REVENUE BONDS, FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY AT 123 NORTH PALM CANYON DRIVE FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: Community and Economic Development SUMMARY This Amendment will expressly allow for the simultaneous closing of the 2012 Financing Authority Lease Revenue Bonds and the Acquisition Escrow with the Developer, Palm Springs Promenade, LLC. The bond issue was approved by the Council and Financing Authority Board on April 11, 2012, and will provide the source of funds for the City to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement. However, since the property to be acquired by the City from the Developer constitutes a portion of the security for the bond issue, the City needs to have fee title to the property in order to close on the bonds. The parties cannot close on the acquisition, however, unless the funds are deposited or available to be deposited in the Acquisition Escrow account. This amendment will allow for the coordination of the two escrows to allow the deal to move forward. RECOMMENDATION: 1.
