Deed of Trust, Site Agreement, Lease Agreement, and Parking Structure License
Agreement for the 1998 Lease Certificates of Participation for the Civic Center Facilities
Project.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 103, 2001, Authorizing the City Manager to, from
Time to Time, Amend the Long -Term Lease of Real Property Adjacent to the Civic
Center Parking Structure to Phelps Program Management, LLC, for the Development of
Commercial Space and Related Easements.
In 1998, Council approved Lease Certificates of Participation ("COPS") in the amount of
$17,2 10,000 for the Civic Center Facilities Project. This Project includes the Civic Center Parking
Structure and the new City Office Building at 215 North Mason Street. In coordination with the
issuance ofthe COPs and the construction ofthe Parking Structure, the first levelalong the western
side of the Parking Structure was leased to Phelps Program Management ("PPM"), an affiliate of
Hensel Phelps, for private use as restaurant, retail and other related purposes to enhance the
attractiveness of the downtown area. As a result of the completion of the planning and construction
ofthe Project, staff has been better able to define and anticipate certain issues that are addressed
in the various agreements. As a result, staff has prepared and worked with other involved parties
to develop amendments to the several agreements that were part of the COPS arrangement and
the commercial ground lease arrangement, in order to refine the terms of those agreements. The

improvements in several areas of the City. The eventual owners of the properties were to pay off
the bonds through special assessments. In the mid to late 1980s, the City experienced a sharp
drop in demand for housing units and many of the development companies decided to not to pay
the special assessments. The City continued to make payments on the bonds with funds transferred
from the General Fund. The City also proceeded to foreclose on the property and eventually
received title to the properties. The two parcels in Ordinance No. 97, 2001, (the City parcel and
the Johnson parcel) comprise a 0.87-acre property located at the northwest corner of JFK
Parkway and the Troutman. The buyer has offered a payment that will pay the City a net amount
of $82,602.52, substantially higher than the amount estimated ($37,900) in the 1993-feasibility
study. This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on June 5, 2001, authorizes the sale of
the City's ownership interests in the properties, which is legally two separate parcels represented
by two separate sales agreements.
10. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 98, 2001. Amending Section 24-95(c) of the City Code to
Include Right -of -Way Acquisition as a Reimbursable Cost ofthe City When Constructing Streets.
Currently when the City designs and constructs a street through undeveloped areas, the City can
be reimbursed for the design and construction costs at the time the undeveloped areas are
developed and the developer takes access from that street. Under this amendment to the City
Code, when the City has to acquire land or right-of-way for the construction ofthe street, the costs
for the acquisition would be recoverable by the City from the developer, at the time the land is
developed and the developer takes access from the street. Ordinance No. 98, 2001, which was
unanimously adopted on First Reading on June 5, 2001, amends Section 24-95(c) of the City
Code to include right-of-way acquisition as a reimbursable cost of the city when constructing
streets.
11. Second ReadingofOrdinance No. 99, 2001, Amending Chapter 23.5 ofthe City Code Pertaining

This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on June 5, 2001, amends
Chapter 23.5 of the City Code (Special Events), to include a new defined category of event,
referred to as a "demonstration". This term is used to clarify provisions in Chapter 23.5 that
previously referenced "events for the purpose of exercising free speech." The Ordinance modifies
current Code language to clarify that in all instances the permit holder shall be required to reimburse
the City for any costs incurred repairing damage caused by the permit holder or its agents.

refinancing.
