EL DORADO — FM 28087 Recommendation: That the Council approve Final Map 28087 for El Dorado LLP for condominium purposes. A4708. Mayor stated that Public Comments for this item only would be heard at this time. Mr. Constatine stated opposition to the Final Map 28087 approval and stated that an outline of a proposed settlement agreement was just given to HOA; that there has been no time to review the document; that it seems to give the park owner much more than just Final Tract Map approval, and requested that those from the HOA stand; that those standing would not speak during this time, allowing additional time for the representative to speak; that the proposed settlement agreement makes no compromise; that previously the Council did pass a resolution approving a Tentative Tract Map; that two conditions have not yet been met; that the park owner did not disclose to HOA the public report; that the conditional pubic report does envision the equilivent to allow the HOA members to make a choice; that the rates should be based on a legitimate appraisal; that the information required is not available to allow approval of the Final Map; that there has been no evidence to base the rates on; that rights should be reserved to litigate; that if those rights are waived, in exchange the owners will give a $5,000 discount if one is among the first one hundred to purchase the lot; that the City has previously stood up for the HOA and tried to assure a sham conversion was not made; that the City did hire an appraiser; that the appraisal did indicate that the owners appraisal rates are a sham; that if the City feels it has to pass the FM tonight it can, but it should not be passed until the market rates are based on a legitimate appraisal; and that the rights of the City should not be waived to represent the HOA; that the HOA appreciates all the City has done in the past, but the proposed settlement agreement is a hoyden. Sue Lofton, representing the applicant, stated the Final Map is in compliance; that the securities have been executed; that regarding the rents, the tenant impact report stated that at the time the final report is presented, the rates would be disclosed; that the report has been completed; that the only item left is the Final Map approval; that the applicant has made all attempts to comply with the Tentative Map conditions; that settlement negotiations were held this day; that the market rents ranged from the three parties of $570 to $675; that the negotiations finaled at $610 or about a 65% movement; that the tenant report is a condition of the Map; that there is a proposed Ordinance submitted; that the owner is opposed; that it does place unreasonable restraints on alienation; that if Council Minutes 06-04-03, Page 4 the owner dies, the resident receives a relocation that is inappropriate; that there should not be a HOA veto power; that the agreement requires a HOA of a 55% approval for rates and that is not right; that the Council is urged to give the Final Map approval and it is further requested that the City Council consider a final agreement to allow the conversion to move forward; to authorize acceptance of concessions made on the price issue; that the rents have been lowered to $610 divided over 4 years; that a sham conversion has not happened; that appraisals have been done; that the conditions of Council have been met and it is urged and requested that approval of Final Map be given. Carolyn Miller Frank, stated that negotiations have made for a long day; that all parties have met and that it is impossible to negotiate an agreement; that the market rent offered by the owner is fair; that price accommodations have been addressed; that the offer is fair and just to all; that the purchase cost does sound high, but if the purchase had been done three years ago, as proposed by the owners, the HOA would have saved a lot of money; that the assistance offered by the Agency for help with those who will have trouble with the purchase is appreciated; that approval of the Final Map should be given tonight while interest rates are down. Jim Waterman, stated that this has been an emotional process; that as far as appraisals go, all will be different; that there is a silent minority in the park that would like to move forward; that housing prices in Valley are going up; that an average coach sells for $45,000 alone; that currently the economy is experiencing a long time low on interest rates; that if the tenants bought the option years ago the price would have been much lower and urged passage of Final Map. There being no further appearances, Mayor closed Public Comments for this item. City Attorney stated that the issue tonight is approval of Final Map; that in negotiations today all parties tried to come up with something agreeable; that the goal was not reached; that another goal is to try to avoid litigation; that the settlement agreement is not on the agenda for consideration; that staff is looking for conceptual understanding to proceed with an agreement; that if Council desired in the future to approve an agreement, this action would not prohibit the agreement from consideration; and that if an agreement is not approved in the future the landlord will not be restricted to set a rate for the rent, but that issue will come in the future for consideration. Deputy City Attorney stated that the Final Map is the only item for consideration; that the law states if the holder of a Tentative Map has satisfied all conditions the legislative body shall approve the Final Map; that the issue is timing of disclosure of rents; that input from both sides has been considered; that the two sides opinions and stands have been stated earlier; that the HOA attorney states the rates should be disclosed before approval of FM; that the owners representative states it must be disclosed before final report; that staff is recommending approval of Final Map; that failure to disclose the rents will not be upheld in court for denying the approval; that the agreement mentioned indicates the terms of the appraisal was of issue; that the City did get a difference of 23-33% in the appraisals; that there is no legal definition to a sham conversion and it would be Council Minutes 06-04-03, Page 5 desired that an agreement that both sides would accept be reached; that the owners proposal offered a $5,000 discount for the first 100 purchasers that close escrow before the end of the year; that the City has not seen the PGP; that the owners appraisal was $675; that the City's appraisal was $575; that through negotiations we were successful to gain a discount and it will be in place for 4 years; that consideration will be given to those with low income; that the agreement is not the best one could hope for, but that it is the intent of parties that neither the City or applicant will litigate the fair market value; that the agreement does offer Agency assistance for the moderate income; that the agreement further stated that an Ordinance regarding conversion will not be adopted; that the pending hardship rent increase will likewise be dismissed; that the City will forgo any filing or a friendly joining of a lawsuit; but that these are agreements in concept, subject to further negotiation; that the City still reserves all rights and options; and that it is recommended to approve the Final Map. City Attorney stated that it is appreciated that the residents recognize the effort on their behalf by the City; that a fair deal for the tenants has been sought; that the City has spent over $500,000 in litigation for the homeowners and remains sympathetic with residents, however, the City does have a $4 million deficit; that each expenditure must be weighed for success; that another aspect is that the City through Housing Fund is willing to put up $500,000 to assist homeowners in the purchase; that neither side is happy with the compromise, but that all issues on whether this is a good or bad deal, will come back in a specific agreement for Council consideration; and that the issue tonight is the Final Map. Councilmember Oden questioned the definition of a sham conversion; and whether the court has made that finding. Deputy City Attorney stated that there is no clear definition of a sham conversion, but that in his opinion, a sham is the offering of properties for sale at a price that no reasonable appraiser could conclude that price; that the Court has found some findings of charade regarding condominium conversion, but in this case the findings would be the burden of the City; and that the HOA is of legal opinion it can be demonstrated, but that opinion is not shared; that the appraisals range in a 23 — 33% difference; that the tenant impact report indicates that all administrative conditions at the municipal level have been satisfied; that there is an Improp financing mechanism in place to assist the low and very low income household with purchase of the properties; and that the Agency funds will target the moderate income, due to the lack of assistance available. Councilmember Reller-Spurgin stated that the case with El Dorado has been in progress for the past 11 years; that tonight's vote is not an abandonment of the issue, but all in the City must be represented and that further litigation may not be justified. Councilmember Oden expressed support of the HOA; but that one must go back to whether or not it is a sham, the discrepancy in the appraisal shows a sham, the price of rentals is a sham; that whether or not the City can efficiently litigate is another issue; that this is a sham; that many things could have been done in a cooperative effort, but this has not happened with this property owner; and based on that, support can not be given to the recommendation. Council Minutes 06-04-03, Page 6 Mayor stated that discussions have indicated a goal to get to ownership; that the desire is to control one's own fate; that up to this point there has been little control; that all tools of the City to protect the tenants have been used; that the City has fought for El Dorado for the past 10 years; that this is the path we all went down; that the outcome is not controlled by anyone; that we are faced with looking at facts and what is best for entire City and El Dorado; that meetings have been held with the residents, owners, and attorneys; that case law has been researched; and that the reality is that after a decade the City is left with no legal alternative; that the City has made an exhaustive effort; that the Final Map is ready; that the conditions have been met; and that although many closed sessions have been held on the issue, there is no other alternative at this time. Resolution 20612 approving Final Map 28087 for El Dorado LLP for condominium purposes was presented; after which, it was moved Reller-Spurgin, seconded by Mills and carried by the following vote that R20612 be adopted. AYES: Members Mills, Reller-Spurgin and Mayor Kleindienst NO: Member Oden ABSENT: Member Hodges. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 12. 2003-04 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET Recommendation: That the Council adopt the 2003-04 Fiscal Year budget. City Manager reviewed budget handouts, copy on file in Office of the City Clerk and requested that the positions of Plans Examiner in Building and the Planning Manager in Planning be allowed to be filled; that the positions are funded but that there is a hiring freeze currently in place; that the Budget Task Force did make recommendations for technological improvements to provide for online permitting, that the City could add a technological fee to capture the funds back, but that it is up to the Council to provide direction. Councilmember Oden questioned staff recommendation in comparison to the Budget Task Force recommendation and the cost. City Manager stated that the online permitting is requested; and that if one had to choose positions, the plans examiner; that currently it is a choke point in the development process; that with the reorganization of the Building Department, the Building Official position will be downgraded to a Building Manager; and that increased development fees will cover some of the costs. Councilmember Oden questioned receipts from the Marquis Hotel. Treasurer stated the Marquis issue was settled at $174,000; but that the last few months the TOT has been down. Councilmember Oden questioned how many cuts were in management. City Manager stated overall there are 17 positions eliminated; that in terms of development services the departments as a whole will be under the Assistant Council Minutes 06-04-03, Page 7 City Manager; that this move will coordinate communication and direct reporting will be through the Assistant City Manager. Mayor declared the Hearing open; there being no appearances, the Hearing was closed. Mayor stated funds for Film Festival should not come from Economic Development funds, would rather be from another source. Councilmember Oden stated that a justification of how it impacts economic development should be given if this source is used. Treasurer stated that the budget would be increased by $200,000 from fund balance for the Film Festival. City Manager stated that it would be requested to appropriate a total of$800,000 from Fund Balance instead of$600,000. Mayor stated the online tracking system could be funded by an assessment of each permit. City Manager concurred and added that the system would be purchased and the funds repaid over time to fund balance. Mayor questioned the painting of the Pavilion and added that it was budgeted last year. Director of Facilities stated it is not funded in this years budget, but is last years allocation and that the project will be completed in the future; that it was intended to sub part of the work out, however, instead we trained our employees, which resulted in the painting of the fire station and the interior of the leisure center; and that the Procurement Director stated only a certain amount of in-house maintenance could be done and that the rest would need to go out to bid. Mayor questioned the funds allocated for the Council Chamber. City Manager stated that better transmission would result for the public. Mayor questioned the street improvements with the Convention Center project. Executive Director—Airports stated that the fund is a little short, but that the work must be done. Mayor stated staff should reevaluate previous funding so that the Convention Center expansion can be as complete as possible. City Engineer stated that some Measure A funds can be shifted; that priorities have been established for overlays and slurry seals, but that it is not recommended that maintenance project be delayed, but rather new projects be deleted. Council Minutes 06-04-03, Page 8 Council concurred that Farrell Drive right turn lane for Vista Chino be deleted for another year to allow the funding to be shifted for use in the expansion of the Convention Center project. Councilmember Oden stated that the $125,000 should be a priority and that staff is directed to come back with recommendations. City Manager stated that the police chief requested that private donations be sought for the DARE program and that the funds for DARE program be used to fund a police officer to be hired half way through the year; and that the request will come forward at a later date. Councilmember Mills stated on page 6 item 20 regarding re-aiming of lights; that there is a concern on safety; that on some fields the lights are terrible; that the deletion of aiming and cleaning could create problems for those using the fields; and that City facilities need to be maintained so that none get hurt.
