the City's and Tribe's responsibilities with regard to the Project, which has been
developed and coordinated as a joint project. Subsequently, on July 15, 2009, a
second MOU was approved between the City and Tribe which reasserted the City's and
Tribe's responsibilities with regard to the Project, but also memorialized the Tribe's
contribution of $2,251,269 from its Fiscal Year 2009 Indian Reservation Roads
allocation to the Project. A copy of each MOU is included with this report.
Generally, the City's responsibilities for the Project are:

City and Tribal staff have been working for many years to deliver this project. Most
recently, the environmental phase was completed and the Council adopted the
Mitigated Negative Declaration on May 27, 2009. The Tribe is now pursuing acquisition
of rights-of-way for the Project on behalf of the City, and the City is now completing the
final design.
The Tribe retained a Right-of-Way Agent, Epic Land Solutions, who has coordinated
right-of-way acquisition for the Project. Right-of-way acquisition has been completed for
a parcel of right-of-way on Belardo Road, including a temporary construction easement
for access onto the adjacent property during construction. Separate agreements have
been prepared through the City Attorney's office for acquisition of the right-of-way and a
temporary construction easement. The acquisition will be processed through escrow,
and it is recommended that the City Council authorized the Director of Public Works/City
Engineer to coordinate escrow documents through the City Attorney's office to facilitate
the acquisition.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the agreements which will allow the
acquisition to be completed.

to Seller as follows, all of which shall survive the Close of Escrow:
4.2.1 Buyer's Authority. Buyer has the capacity and full power and

contemplated by, this Agreement, and that this Agreement has been duly authorized
and executed by Buyer and, upon delivery to and execution by Seller, shall be a valid
and binding Agreement of Buyer.
4.2.2 No Untrue Statements or Omissions of Fact. Each of the
representations and warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement, or in any exhibit or on
any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto, shall be continuing
representations and warranties which shall be true and correct in all material respects
on the date hereof, and shall be deemed to be made again as of the Close of Escrow,
and shall then be true and correct in all material respects. The truth and accuracy of
each of the representations and warranties, and the performance of all covenants of

the foregoing representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.2.
4.3, Mutual Indemnity. Seller and Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold free
and harmless the other from and against any losses, damages, costs and expenses

contained in this Agreement.
5. CONDEMNATION. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that this transaction is
a negotiated settlement in lieu of condemnation, and Seller hereby agrees and consents

the State of California in and for the City of Palm Springs, wherein the herein described
property is included and also waives any and all claims to any money on deposit in the
action and further waives all attorneys' fees, costs, disbursements, and expenses
incurred in connection therewith. If, prior to the close of the execution of this
transaction, Seller (or Seller's Tenant) is served with a Summons and Complaint in
Eminent Domain in which Seller (or Seller's Tenant) is a named defendant, upon the
close of escrow, Seller agrees and consents to Buyer taking a default in the action.
Moreover, the total compensation to be paid by Buyer to Seller is for all of Seller's
interest in the Property and any rights which exist or may arise out of the acquisition of
the Property for public purposes, including without limitation, Seller's interest in the land
and any improvements and fixtures and equipment located thereon, improvements
pertaining to the realty (if any), severance damages, any alleged pre-condemnation
damages, loss of business goodwill (if any), costs, interest, attorney's fees, and any
claim whatsoever of Seller which might arise out of or relate in any respect to the
acquisition of the Property by the Buyer. The compensation paid under this Agreement
does not reflect any consideration of or allowance for any relocation assistance and

assistance, if any, will be handled via separate Agreement.
