Suggested Action: If desired, 1. Review the Draft Purchase Agreement and authorize staff to conclude negotiations with the Seller and execute the Purchase Agreement; and 2. Review the Draft Financing Agreement with First Continental Financial Corporation and, if desired, authorize staff to execute the financing agreement; and 3. Authorize staff to enter into Escrow for the purchase of the site, consummate the transaction, and close escrow. Background The City Council Off -Street Parking Committee and staff have been discussing the acquisition of the property at the southwest corner of 30th Street and Villa Way since February of 1986. In June of 1987, staff indicated to the property owner the City's desire to purchase the property for fair market value, which was to be determined by an appraisal. On July 29, 1987, staff met with the Off -Street Parking Committee and briefed them on the progress of negotiations for the Doan property. The Committee indicated their intention to recommend to the City Council that the site be condemned under the power of eminent domain. At its meeting of August 10, 1987, the City Council directed staff to retain an appraiser to establish fair market value for the property. At its meeting of January 11, 1988, the City Council adopted a Resolution 88-5, declaring the necessity to acquire the property by Eminent Domain, and directed staff to prepare the draft purchase agreement and financing agreements and bring them back to the City Council for review prior to their execution. TO: City Council - 2. Analysis Attached for the review and consideration of the City Council are the draft sales agreement and financing agreements. Although there may be some changes between these drafts and the final documents, any revisions will be minor and will not effect the general terms or conditions of either docu- ment. It is anticipated that these documents will be completed and executed prior to February 15, 1988, which is when staff intends to open escrow. At this point in time, it is anticipated that escrow will close on April 1, 1988. Respectfully Submitted, PLANNING DEPARTMENT JAMES D.
