HomeMy WebLinkAbout11/19/2003 - STAFF REPORTS (19) DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 2003 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT APPROVING PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS WITH BURR GROUP, LP, FOR A 4.85 ACRE PARCEL LOCATED AT 19T" AVENUE AND MCLANE STREET RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions with Burr Group, LP, for the purchase of a 4.85 acre parcel located at 19`h Avenue and McLane Street in North Palm Springs for the purpose of developing a solid waste transfer station. SUMMARY: Forthe past several months, staff has been in discussions with Burr Group, LP, (Burr) and Palm Springs Disposal Services(PSDS)regarding the construction of a solid waste transfer station within the City. As a part of the City's participation, Burr will sell the City of Palm Springs the parcel for this project, and the City will lease it back to Burr to develop and operate the facility. The cost of the property is $600,000. BACKGROUND: For the past several years, Palm Springs has been working with Palm Springs Disposal Services to develop a transfer station or materials recycling facility (MRF) in Palm Springs. The "Next Phase" project was created and brought to Council for approval in mid-1998. The Projectwas to be designed, financed, constructed and operated by PSDS, butwas tied together with their Franchise renewal. Various components of this project were investigated, such as in-vessel composting. After working on this project for quite a long period of time, City Council agreed that this project needed to be completely separate from negotiations regarding the Franchise Agreement. At that point, Palm Springs Disposal Services decided that the renewal of their contract took precedence over the construction of the facility, so the project took a back seat to the renegotiation of their Franchise. The project was put on hold while PSDS and the City began to renegotiate the Franchise Agreement. The need for a transfer facility or Materials Recovery Facility was brought about by the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, Public Resources Code Section 40000 et seq, otherwise known as AB 939, passed by the State. This law mandates that each city in California meet a 50% diversion rate of waste materials from the landfill. The prior Franchise Agreement with PSDS,approved on March 18, 1992,was amended in 1998 to set aside the Recycling Fund for a waste diversion facility in Palm Springs. That amendment was tested in court via a "validation action." Amendment#4 declared that the funds collected in the Diversion Facility Fund for a diversion facility were necessary to accomplish the diversion requirements of AB 939 and fulfill Section 906 of the City Charter requiring that any special levies collected by City pursuant to State law be used only for th� respective purposes for which they were levied. 1 The Diversion Facility Fund was created by Council action on June 19, 1996, in response to the reduction of the Tip Fee charged by the County of Riverside to all users of the Edom Hill Landfill. The City Council approved, by Minute Order 5756, the maintenance of a reserve fund "Diversion Facility Fund", to collect the difference of funds received from its waste disposal customers and the reduced Tip Fee. The Recycling Fund is thus comprised of two segments: the Diversion Facility segment made up of the difference in Tip Fee costs and the Recycling Fee, which funds the City's Recycling Program. The City of Palm Springs has approximately $4.5 million currently in the Diversion Facility account which, according to the Court ruling in the Validation Action, can only be used for a diversion project. After over a year of negotiations, the City and PSDS came to agreement on the Franchise and it was approved the end of September2003. During the Franchise negotiation period, Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. (Burrtec) approached City staff about developing a transfer station facility on property they had purchased in North Palm Springs. Discussions between the City and Burrtec have been ongoing for several months. After PSDS' Franchise was approved, Burrtec came to the City with plans and a proposal for the Transfer Station. The City will purchase the property from Burr Group, LP, which the property is vested in, forthe sum of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000),which is what Burr originally paid forthe property. The Citywould then own the land and Burrtecwould design, construct and operate a transfer station facility. The City desires to invest in the project for several reasons: 1)The Diversion Facility Fund was intended forthis purpose; (2)Cityfinancing will hold down the overall cost of the project, benefitting ratepayers; and (3) it creates a financial return to the City. After the purchase is completed and the project has received its land use and operating approvals, staff will return to the City Council with a Facility Operation and Lease. The funding forthis purchase will come from the Diversion Facility Fund in Recycling Fund Balance. irector f Comm ni & Economic velop ent Appr vo ed ! � �� City Manager — _ Attachments: Minute Order REVIEWED BY DEn OF FINANCE Budget Resolution Agreement 2 C.,i i��1 IS AV ANLJV `};�Y�l'� �l�l.l l`�L.li NILN 1 AND VGt,N"I h;S .,I"0 V INS'I'I CTI0NS BF"i O/IFEN yUikk pR�� " " � < STE IN'DtJSTRIES, INC.�bf- 1h GFuL'..��, � Y4. ) x �� Corporation SatLLER") ANI) � E 'i I il I'AI_N1I SPRINGS, F GIs C I i S E R ILl�3 k)�a ®l�''�'��,1`rTS PURCHASE - PURCHASE PRICE - TITLE - ESCROW........................... 1 1.01.
