Independent Auditors' Report
To La Quinta Redevelopment Agency USDA Rural Development
Washington Street Apartments Moreno Valley Office
(An elderly housing development owned by Moreno Valley, CA
La Quinta Redevelopment Agency)
La Quinta, CA
I have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Washington Street Apartments (An elderly
housing development owned by La Quinta Redevelopment Agency), Case No. 04-033-953740431, as of June 30,
2009, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the period from inception (October 31, 2008) to
June 30, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Project's management. My responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, the evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provides a reasonable
basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Washington Street Apartments, as of June 30, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the initial period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, I have also issued a report dated September 30, 2009, on our
consideration of Washington Street Apartments's internal control over financial reporting and my tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The
purpose of that report is to describe the scope of my testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of my audits.

My audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a
whole. The accompanying supplementary information shown on page 15-18 and 26-32 is presented for purposes
of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements of the Project. Such information
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in my
opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009
Washington Street Apartments ("the Project") is an elderly housing development owned by La Quinta
Redevelopment Agency herein referred to as the Project). The Pro Project operates a 73 unit elder) housing P g Y(J P Y g
development for low-income seniors, as defined in Section 521 of the Housing Act of 1949. The Project
commenced rental operations in November 2008.
Legal title to the Project is held by La Quinta Redevelopment Agency, a government agency. The
accompanying financial statements are those of the Project and do not represent the financial statements of La
Quinta Redevelopment Agency.
The Project operates as an enterprise fund and, as such, follows governmental accounting standards and uses
the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded in the accounting
period in which they are earned and become measurable. Expenses are recorded in the period incurred, if
measurable.
B. Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the Project's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements are as follows:
Basis of Accounting
The Project utilized the accrual basis of accounting, whereby income is recognized as earned and expenses are
recognized as obligations are incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less,
cash on deposit, money market funds and certificates of deposit.
Tenant Receivable and Bad Debt Policy
( Tenant rent charges for the current month are due on the first of the month. Tenants who are evicted or move -
out are charged with damages or cleaning fees, if applicable. Tenant receivable consists of amounts due for
rental income, security deposit or the charges for damages and cleaning fees. The Project does not accrue
interest on the tenant receivable balances.
The Project has not established an allowance for doubtful accounts and does not use the reserve method for
j recognizing bad debts. Bad debts are treated as direct write-offs in the period management determines that
collection is not probable. There are no bad debts for the period from inception (October 31, 2008) to June 30,
's
2009.

B. _ Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)
Rental Property
Rental property is recorded at cost. Improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of depreciable property, the appropriate property accounts
are reduced by the related costs and accumulated depreciation. The resulting gains and losses are reflected in
the statements of operations. The rental property is depreciated over estimated service lives as follows:
Buildings & Improvements 30 years straight-line
Land Improvements 15 years accelerated
Furnishings & Equipment 5-7 years accelerated
The Project reviews its investment in real estate for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of such property may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of the real estate to the future net undiscounted cash flow expected to be
generated by the rental property including the low income housing tax credits and any estimated proceeds
from the eventual disposition of the real estate. If the real estate is considered to be impaired, the impairment
to be recognized is measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of the real estate exceeds the fair
value of such property. There were no impairment losses recognized in 2009.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. During 2009, there was no advertising expense.

C. Mortgage Payable
Rural Development
The mortgage note was assumed by Project and is payable to Rural Development in monthly installments of
$7,107, at an interest rate of 10% and a term of 30 years, maturing in the year 2036. As part of the Loan
Agreement, the Partnership entered into an Interest Credit and Rental Assistance Agreement that reduces the
monthly mortgage payment to $3,198, which effectively lowers the interest rate to approximately 1% over the
term of the loan. The mortgage liability of the Partnership is limited to the underlying value of the real estate
collateral pledged.
Under the loan agreement, the Project is required to make monthly escrow deposits for real estate, taxes and
insurance premiums, and is subject to operating and return to owner restrictions.
The Project's real and personal property are pledged as collateral for the trust deed note.
Maturities of the mortgage notes in each of the next five years are approximated as follows:
2010 $
10,583
2011
11,691

12,916
2013
14,267
2014
15,760
Thereafter
686,537
$ 751,754
There has been no significant change in interest rates available to the Project. Therefore, the fair value of the
mortgage notes approximate the book value.
Provident Savings Bank, FSB
The Project is financed under a deed of trust with Provident Savings Bank, FSB, dated October 31, 2008 in the
original amount of $1,572,031. Monthly installments are $12,873 through October, 2038. The interest rate on
the note is 8.36%.
Maturities of the Permanent Loan in each of the next five years are approximated as follows:

Rental Assistance Agreement
The Project has entered into a Rental Assistance Agreement with Rural Development commencing November

commitment of $389,664. The agreement expires September 22, 2009, but is then renewable under contract
with Rural Development pending congressional approval of budget authority.
E. Current VulnerabilitV Due to Certain Concentrations
The Project's sole asset is Washington Street Apartments Apartments. The Project's operations are
concentrated in the affordable housing real estate market. In addition, the Project operates in a heavily
regulated environment. The operations of the Project are subject to the administrative directives, rules and
regulations of federal, state and local regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to, Rural Development
and the State Housing Agency. Such administrative directives, rules and regulations are subject to change by
an act of Congress or an administrative change mandated by Rural Development or the State Housing
Agency. Such changes may occur with little notice or inadequate funding to pay for the related cost,
including the additional administrative burden, to comply with a change.
F. Concentration of Credit Risk
The Project maintains its cash in financial institutions insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC). Deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2009, the cash
balance exceeded those limits by $152,429. The Project has not experienced any losses in such accounts and
believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

j Independent Auditors' Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and
Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
To La Quinta Redevelopment Agency USDA Rural Development
Washington Street Apartments Moreno Valley Office
(An elderly housing development owned by Moreno Valley, CA
La Quinta Redevelopment Agency)
La Quinta, CA
We have audited the financial statements of Washington Street Apartments as of and for the period from inception
(October 31, 2008) to June 30, 2009, and have issued my report thereon dated September 30, 2009. 1 conducted
my audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
\!
In planning and performing my audits, I considered Washington Street Apartments's internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing my auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing my opinion on
the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, 1 do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Project's internal control over financial reporting.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in
the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the
project's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of
the project's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the
project's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more
than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected
by the project's internal control.
My consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. I did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that I consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
Q 025
'.l
Compliance and Other Matters
,i
'I
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Washington Street Apartments's financial statements are
({ free of material misstatement, I performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statements amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of my audits, and accordingly, I do not express such an opinion. The results of
my tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported herein under
Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended soley for the information and use of the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency, management,
others witin the organization and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development and is not intended to be
and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE
TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
To La Quinta Redevelopment Agency
Washington Street Apartments
Compliance
I have audited the compliance of Washington Street Apartments (An elderly housing development owned by La
Quinta Redevelopment Agency), RD Case No. 04-033-953740431, with the types of compliance requirements
described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are
applicable to its major federal program for the period from inception (October 31, 2008) to June 30, 2009.
Washington Street Apartments's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor's results section of
the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws,
regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its major federal program is the responsibility of Washington Street
Apartments's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on Washington Street Apartments's
compliance based on. my audits.
I conducted my audits of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non -
Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that
could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence about Washington Street Apartments's compliance with those requirements and performing such
other procedures as I considered necessary in the circumstances. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis
for my opinion. My audits do not provide a legal determination on the Washington Street Apartments's compliance
with those requirements.
In my opinion, Washington Street Apartments complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to
above that are applicable to its major federal program for the period from inception (October 31, 2008) to June 30,
2009.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of Washington Street Apartments is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs.
In planning and performing my audits, I considered Washington Street Apartments's internal control over
compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to
determine my auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing my opinion on compliance and to test and report on
internal control over compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
Washington Street Apartments's internal control over compliance.

j A control deficiency in a project's internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a
control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program
on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies,
that adversely affects the project's ability to administer a federal program such that there is more than a
remote likelihood that noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is
more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the project's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in
more than a remote likelihood that a material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a
federal program will not be prevented or detected by the project's internal control.
My consideration of the internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
significant deficiencies or material weakness. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

La Quinta, CA 92253
In planning and performing my audit of the financial statements of Washington Street
Apartments as of and for the initial period ended June 30, 2009, in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, I considered
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing my
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing my opinion on the financial statements,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project's
internal control. Accordingly, I do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Project's internal control.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,
to prevent and detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a
control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the
project's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, such that there is more than a
remote likelihood that a misstatement of the project's financial statements that is more
than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the project's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of
the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the project's internal control.
My consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all
deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses. I did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting
that I considered to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, we identified
the following areas in which internal controls can be strengthened.

Funding of Replacement Reserves
The regulatory agreement of the Rural Development Mortgage requires annual deposits
of $64,000 to the replacement reserve. The project was acquired October 31, 2008 and
was required to make seven monthly mortgage payments between October 31, 2008 and
June 30, 2009. Only six monthly deposits were made to the replacement reserve through
June 30, 2009. It is the policy of the Management Company that one twelfth of the
replacement reserve deposit will be paid monthly. Management should ensure that full
replacement reserve deposit is made prior to the end of the annual period of the loan.
Management response: The Loan Resolution Reserve Account requirement is annual.
Management will ensure that the full annual deposit of $64, 000 is made prior to October
31, 2009.
Adjusting Journal Entries
During the course of our field work we noted that entries were not made capitalize the
assets, liabilities and net assets as they relate to the acquisition of the Project.
Depreciation of buildings and amortization of loan fees were not recorded by the Project.
These entries were provided to us by La Quinta Redevelopment Agency employees and
we made the necessary adjustments to the financial statements.
Management should ensure that they record acquisition costs and the related depreciation
and amortization when taking on a new Project.
Management response: Past practice has been to record additions and deletions to fixed
assets in August of each year in preparation of the City's annual audit. Staff did receive
a request for an earlier than normal journal entry to record the Washington Street fixed
assets which was prepared. In addition, staff agrees with the auditor's subsequent
recommendation to change the value of the fixed assets to capitalize certain issuance
costs. In the future, staff will change its policy from annually recording fixed assets to
recording fixed assets quarterly beginning with the three month period ending September
30, 2009.

1 have audited the financial statements of Washington Street Apartments (An elderly
housing development owned by La Quinta Redevelopment Agency) for the initial period
ended June 30, 2009 and have issued my report thereon dated September 30, 2009.
Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related
to my audit.
My Responsibility under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America
As stated in my engagement letter dated April 17, 2009, my responsibility, as described
by professional standards, is to express an opinion about whether the financial statements
prepared by management are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. My audit of
the financial statements does not relieve you of your responsibilities.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
I performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously
communicated to you in the engagement letter dated April 17, 2009.
Significant Audit Findings
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies.
The significant accounting policies used by Washington Street Apartments are described
in Note I to the financial statements. I noted no transactions entered into by the Project
during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. There
are no significant transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements in a
different period than when the transaction occurred.

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by
management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and
current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are
particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because
of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those
expected. There were no sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements.
The disclosures in the financial statements are neutral, consistent and clear. There are no
sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements.
Difficulties encountered in Performing the Audit
I encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and
completing my audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements
identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the
appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements anc
recorded the entries necessary to capitalize the Project. Included are the journal entries
made as a result of my audit for your reference.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with
management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not
resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the
auditor's report. I am pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the
course of my audit.
Management Representations
I have requested certain representations from management that are included in the
management representation letter dated September 30, 2009. A copy of the management
representation letter is included in this report for your signature.
Management Consultations with other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing
and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a
consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the Project's financial
043
statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on
those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check
with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To my knowledge,
there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
I generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles
and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the Project's
auditor. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of my professional
relationship and my responses were not a condition of my retention.
This communication is intended solely for the use of the management company and the
owner and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

(October 31, 2008) to June 30, 2009 for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, changes in net assets, and cash flows of Washington Street
Apartments in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We confirm that we are responsible for
the fair presentation in the financial statements of financial position, changes in net assets, and cash flows in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. We are also responsible for adopting sound accounting policies,
establishing and maintaining effective internal control, and preventing and detecting fraud.
Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Items are considered
material if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in light of surrounding
circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a. reasonable person relying on the information would be
changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement. An omission or misstatement that is monetarily small in
amount could be considered material as a result of qualitative factors.
We confirm, to the best of our knowledge and belief as of September 30, 2009, the following representations made to
you during your audit.
I. The financial statements referred to above are fairly presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted

COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: November 3, 2009
ITEM TITLE: Approval of an Agreement with Dolphin
La Quinta, LLC Permitting the Temporary Leasing of
Casitas Units at Centre Pointe
RECOMMENDATION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR: 15
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Approve the Agreement Permitting the Temporary Leasing of Casitas Units between
the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency and Dolphin La Quinta, LLC.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The agreement requires Dolphin La Quinta, LLC to pay the City a monthly "Public
Facilities Use Payment" of five percent (5%) of any amount charged for occupancy of
a Casitas Unit which is leased for more than thirty days. Transient Occupancy Tax
("TOT") would be charged for occupancy of fewer than 30 days.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
In December 2003, the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency entered into a Disposition
and Development Agreement ("DDA"), and the City entered into a Development
Agreement ("DA"), with CP Development, LLC ("CP") to facilitate development of
approximately 50 acres located at the southeast corner of Miles Avenue and
Washington Street. The development plan includes a hotel, resort casitas, two
restaurants, housing, a medical facility, and a park. To date, the Homewood Suites
Hotel, 44 casitas units, the park, and Applebee's Restaurant have been constructed,
and the Eisenhower medical building is nearing completion.
The casitas units were never occupied, and in May 2008, Dolphin La Quinta, LLC
("Dolphin") acquired the 44 casitas units and adjoining vacant land. Dolphin and CP
050
then negotiated a land swap, whereby CP now owns the four casitas units northwest
of the hotel. The City and Agency consented to these transactions, and Dolphin
assumed all rights and obligations under the DDA and DA with respect to the
properties it now owns.
The DDA requires the casitas units to be sold to private owners and the DA sets forth
a payment scheme for the payment of certain mitigation and public facilities fees to be
collected and remitted to the City. However, because of the current economic
conditions, the market for casitas unit sales is weak. The recent closure of the
Homewood Suites has left the area unoccupied, which has resulted in vandalism and
break-ins at several casitas units. In addition, Dolphin needs to generate a partial
return on this investment. Therefore, Dolphin has requested permission to lease the
casitas units on a temporary basis.
The terms and conditions under which Dolphin would be permitted to lease the casitas
units are included in the Agreement Permitting the Temporary Leasing of Casitas Units
(Attachment 1) (the "Leasing Agreement"). In summary, the Leasing Agreement
would permit Dolphin to lease the units for a maximum of 30 months, and if market
conditions have not improved, the Agency Executive Director would have the authority
to grant extensions of up to 18 months.
The Leasing Agreement would require that Dolphin's individual tenant leases include a
relocation waiver, and that` Dolphin indemnify the Agency and City against any
relocation claims. Dolphin is required to retain a local leasing agent and property
manager. Every month, Dolphin must collect and remit to the City a Public Facilities
Use Payment of 5% of any amount charged for occupancy of a casitas unit which is
leased for more than thirty days; and must report and pay TOT for occupancy of fewer
than 30 days.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Agency Board include:
1. Approve the Agreement Permitting the Temporary Leasing of Casitas Units
between the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency and Dolphin La Quinta, LLC; or

limited liability company ("CP") and the Agency (the "Original DDA"). Pursuant to the
Original DDA, (i) Agency sold to CP the Dolphin Property and certain adjacent real property

C. The Original DDA has been amended on six (6) occasions, on or about October
28, 2004, on or about December 7, 2004, on or about November 2, 2005, on or about October 20,
2006, on or about August 23, 2007, and on or about March 19, 2008 (collectively, the "Prior
DDA Amendments"). The Original DDA, as amended by the Prior DDA Amendments, is
hereinafter referred to as the "DDA" and the Original Project, as amended by the Prior DDA
Amendments, is hereinafter referred to as the "Project."
D. The Dolphin Property is also subject to a Development Agreement entered into
between the City of La Quinta (the "City") and CP concurrently with the execution of the
Original DDA (the "Original DA"). The Original DA was recorded in the Official Records of
the County Recorder for the County of Riverside (the "Official Records") on January 5, 2004,
as Instrument No. 2004-0005256. The Original DA has been amended on three (3) prior
occasions, pursuant to that certain Amendment No. 1 to Development Agreement executed on or
about October 28, 2004, and recorded in the Official Records on November 8, 2004, as
Instrument No. 2004-0885063, that certain Amendment No.2 to Development Agreement

("Lennar"), who had previously acquired Parcel 2 from CP. The City and Agency consented to
882/015610.0085
1042837,07.1028/09 -1-
053
the foregoing transfer to Dolphin pursuant to that certain Agreement for Deposit of Funds
entered into by and among the City, Agency, Dolphin, and Lennar on or about May 22, 2008
("Agreement for Deposit of Funds"). Dolphin has satisfied the requirements as stated in
Section 1(a) of said Agreement for Deposit of Funds, and more specifically Section l(a)(ii) by
timely achieving the land swap transaction as described in Recital G below.
F. In connection with said transfer, Dolphin assumed all of Lennar's rights and
obligations under the DDA and DA with respect to Parcel 2 pursuant to an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement recorded in the Official Records of the County of Riverside, as
Instrument No. 2008-0411463, on July 28, 2008.
G. On September 26, 2008, Dolphin transferred that portion of Parcel 2 described as
"Parcel A" in the Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment for Lot Line Adjustment Number 2008-495
(the "Certificate") to CP, and CP transferred an adjacent portion of the Property ("Parcel 3 of
Parcel Map 31116") to Dolphin. Concurrently with said transfers, CP and Dolphin entered into
that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement, which was recorded in the Official Records
of the County of Riverside, as Instrument No. 2008-0527098, on September 26, 2008, pursuant
to which Dolphin and CP each assigned to the other its rights and obligations under the DDA and
DA with respect to the real property transferred. The portion of Parcel 2 retained by Dolphin,
which is described as "Parcel B" in the Certificate, and Parcel 3 of Parcel Map 31116
collectively comprise the Dolphin Property.
H. On September 16, 2009, Dolphin recorded Tract Map No. 36089, which
subdivided the Dolphin Property into two individual lots, Lot 1 and Lot 2. Lot 1 of the Dolphin
Property is developed with forty (40) condom in ium/casitas units that were completed by Lennar
prior to Dolphin's acquisition of any portion of the Dolphin Property (the "Casitas Units"). Lot
2 of the Dolphin Property is undeveloped.
I. Pursuant to the DDA, Dolphin is required to sell the Casitas Units to individual,
private owners. In contemplation of such sales, the DA sets forth a comprehensive payment
scheme based on individual, private ownership of the Casitas Units.
J. As a result of the general economic slowdown, the market for the Casitas Units
sales is weak. Dolphin has now requested the ability to lease the Casitas Units on a temporary
basis, to enable Dolphin to achieve some economic use of the Dolphin Property and to prevent
break-ins into the Casitas Units and other criminal activity. The parties now wish to set forth the
terms and conditions on which Dolphin shall be permitted to lease the Casitas Units, and to set
forth a deadline by which Dolphin must execute amendments to the DDA and DA with respect to
Lot 2 of the Dolphin Property.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated
herein by this reference, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
882/015610-0085
1042839.07 a O/28/09 -2-
'•... 054
I. Permission to Lease Casitas Units. Notwithstanding the requirement in the DDA that
each of the Casitas Units be individually sold to private owners, Dolphin shall be permitted to
temporarily lease the Casitas Units on the terms and conditions set forth below.
(a) Retention of Leasing Agent. Dolphin shall retain and maintain during the
term of this Agreement a residential leasing professional with experience and expertise in La
Quinta, California -based residential real estate rentals in a product type that is similar in nature to
the Casitas Units to process all leases with respect to the Casitas Units (the "Leasing Agent").
Dolphin shall provide the Leasing Agent with a full-time marketing and leasing office on Lot I
of the Dolphin Property. Dolphin shall require the Leasing Agent to actively market the Casitas
Units for lease, and to document each transaction in the manner customary for leases of first
class resort condominiums in Riverside County. The Leasing Agent, and any replacement
Leasing Agent, must be approved by the Agency's Executive Director, in his or her reasonable
discretion. The Agency hereby approves as a Leasing Agent Lori Bowers of The Lori Bowers
Group -Desert Properties; located in Old Town La Quinta.
(b) Retention of Property Manageer. Dolphin shall retain a professional
residential property management company with experience and expertise in La Quinta,
California -based residential real estate similar in product type to the Casitas Units (the

Dolphin Property, and for (i) tenant relations; (ii) all necessary repairs of the Casitas Units; (iii)

"Monthly Report" (as that term is defined in Section 4 below), including the tracking and
payment of "Public Facilities.Use Payments" (as that term is defined in Section 5 below) to the
City. The Property Manager shall provide a maintenance person dedicated to Lot 1 of the
Dolphin Property (a "Maintenance Person"). If the professional care and maintenance of the
Casitas Units requires, as reasonably determined by Dolphin, that the Maintenance Person be on -
site, or if applicable ordinances and/or laws governing the subject rentals requires on -site
residence of one individual for rental properties comprised of forty (40) units, then the
Maintenance Person shall reside in one of the Casitas Units. Regardless of whether the
Maintenance Person resides on -site or off -site, however, the Maintenance Person shall be
available to handle all routine maintenance issues pertaining to the Casitas Units and Lot 1 of the
Dolphin Property. The Property Manager, and any replacement Property Manager, must be
approved by the Agency's Executive Director, in his or her reasonable discretion. The Agency
hereby approves Desert Resort Management as a Property Manager.
(c) Asset Manaizement. Dolphin shall remain actively involved in the leasing
of the Casitas Units and the operation and management of the Dolphin Property. All leases shall
be executed by Dolphin.

private buyer, (ii) an acknowledgement by the lessee that the lessee is only able to lease the
Casitas Unit because of a special accommodation made by the Agency that allows the Casitas
Unit to be temporarily leased and that the lessee has no expectation that the lease will be
renewed, and (iv) a waiver and 1542 release by the lessee of any relocation assistance, benefits,
or payments to which the lessee may otherwise be entitled. Unless authorized by the Agency's
Executive Director pursuant to Section 3 below, no lease shall extend beyond thirty (30) months

(42) carports on the Dolphin Property for use by the lessees of the Casitas Units.
3. Annual Meetings with Agency. At least sixty (60) days before each anniversary of the
Effective Date during the term hereof, Dolphin and Agency representatives shall meet to discuss
the viability of the market for selling the Casitas Units. In the event the Agency Executive
Director reasonably determines that said market has not sufficiently improved, the Agency
Executive Director shall have the authority to extend the Termination Date for up to a maximum
of eighteen (18) months.
4. Reporting Requirements. During the term hereof, Dolphin shall be responsible to provide
to City Finance Department, at the address listed in Section 14 below (addressed to the attention

Dolphin or the Property Manager and remitted to the City for use of said Unit during such month
(each, a "Monthly Report"). A representative of Dolphin with authority to bind Dolphin shall
sign each Monthly Report, certifying that to the best of his or her knowledge the information
contained therein is true and correct. Each Monthly Report shall be sent to the City (evidenced
by the date postmarked on the envelope) no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the month
covered by such Monthly Report.
5. Payment of Public Facilities Use Payments. During the term hereof, Dolphin shall be
required to pay to the City the sum of five percent (5%) of any amount charged for occupancy of
a Casitas Unit which is leased for a period of more than thirty (30) days (each, a "Public
Facilities Use Payment"). The Public Facilities Use Payments shall be due and payable to the
City with, and at the same time Dolphin is required to provide, the applicable Monthly Report,
regardless of whether the lease payment due for occupancy of said Casitas unit, or any amount
thereof, was collected. If the Casitas Unit is provided free of charge or at a discount, as
consideration for a service provided by the lessee to Dolphin, the Leasing Agent, or the Property
Manager, and/or for promotional or marketing purposes, the lease amount shall be deemed to be
the higher of (i) the value of the services received; or (ii) the average lease amount of all of the
Casitas Units during the period the Casitas Unit was leased (prorated for the time the Casitas
Unit in question was leased).

the applicable payment, in addition to the applicable payment or late portion of the applicable
payment, plus interest at the rate of one-half of one percent (.05%) per month, or fraction thereof,
from the date on which the applicable payment or late portion of the applicable payment required
to be collected and remitted to the City becomes delinquent until the date of remittance to the
City. If Dolphin fails to pay any penalty imposed under this Section 6 within ten (10) days after
receipt of written notice thereof, Dolphin shall pay interest thereon at the rate of one-half of one
percent (.05%) per month, or fraction thereof from the date on which the penalty becomes due
and payable to the City until the date of remittance to the City.
7. Effect of Agreement on DDA and DA. Dolphin acknowledges and agrees that the effect
of this Agreement is to temporarily allow Dolphin to lease the Casitas Units in accordance with
the terms hereof and to provide the timing for Dolphin to execute DDA and DA amendments.
With the exception of allowing such temporary leasing and providing the timing for Dolphin to
execute DDA and DA amendments, nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to the
DDA or DA, the terms of which continue to apply to the Dolphin Property. At such time as this
Agreement expires or is terminated, Dolphin shall no longer be permitted to lease the Casitas
Units without obtaining the prior written approval of the Agency.
8. Future DDA/DA Amendments. By the thirtieth (30`h) month after the Effective Date,
Dolphin shall execute with the Agency an amendment to the DDA (the "DDA Amendment")
and with the City an amendment to the DA with respect to Lot 2 of the Dolphin Property;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall require Dolphin to execute either of said
amendments prior to said deadline. The Agency's Executive Director shall have authority to
extend such deadline for up to eighteen (18) additional months. With the execution hereof, the
Dolphin Performance Schedule set forth in Exhibit B of the Agreement for Deposit of Funds is
hereby deemed terminated. The DDA Amendment shall contain a revised performance schedule
for the development of Lot 2 of the Dolphin Property.

and Agency and their respective officers, officials, members, representatives, employees, and
agents (collectively, the "Indemnitees"), from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
damages, costs, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection
with any of the foregoing and incurred in connection with enforcing this provision), of any kind
whatsoever, paid, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Indemnitees by any
person in connection with, arising out of, or resulting in any way whatsoever, from the
termination of, or failure to renew, any lease of a Casitas Unit during or after the expiration of
the term hereof, or after the termination hereof (collectively, the "Claims"), including, without
limitation, all transactional costs incurred by the Agency and/or City in connection with any
Claims, including, but not limited to, consultants' costs and fees, the costs to prepare plans,

or payments paid or required to be paid by the City and/or Agency in the settlement of any of
such Claims.

has incurred to negotiate, prepare and process this Agreement. Agency acknowledges that

Dolphin deposited Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) with the Agency on or about September 29,
2009, identified as Deposit Number 09-001 (the "Deposit"). The Deposit shall be the first
source of funds for the reimbursement required by this Section 10. If the funds comprising the
Deposit are insufficient to cover all of such costs, Dolphin shall provide additional funds to cover
the balance. Within five (5) business days after the execution hereof, Agency shall provide to
Dolphin an accounting of Agency's use of the Deposit.
11. City as Third Party Beneficial. City is an express third party beneficiary of the
provisions in Sections 4, 5, 6, and 9 above and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
enforce said provisions.
12. Compliance with Laws. Dolphin shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, and
regulations in the leasing of the Casitas Units, including, without limitation, the requirement to
pay transient occupancy tax (as that term is used in La Quinta Municipal Code Chapter 3.24) on
all leases subject thereto.
13. Defaults; Remedies.
(a) Defaults Generally. Failure by either party to perform any action or
covenant required by this Agreement within the time periods provided herein following notice
and failure to cure as described hereafter, constitutes a "Default" under this Agreement. A party
claiming a Default shall give written notice of Default to the other party specifying the Default
complained of. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the claimant shall not
institute any proceeding against any other party, and the other party shall not be in Default, if
such party cures such default within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice, or if the nature
of such default is that it cannot reasonably be expected to be cured within such thirty (30) day
period, if such party, with due diligence, commences to cure, correct or remedy such failure or
delay within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice, and completes such cure, correction or
remedy with diligence. Upon a Default by Dolphin which has not been cured within the
timeframes set forth herein, Agency shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. Upon such
termination, Dolphin shall be prohibited from renewing any existing lease or entering into any
new lease for a Casitas Unit.

stated in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative, and the exercise
by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at
the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other
default by the other party.

Director to Execute the Required Documents (APNs
604-040-057, 604-470-001, 770-184-001, 773-

G, H, and I of Parcel Map 31116, and Lot D of
Parcel Map 33588
RECOMMENDATION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION: _
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Approve the transfer of ten parcels of land from the Redevelopment Agency to the City
and authorize the City Attorney to prepare and the Executive Director to execute the
required documents.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None at this time. All operation and maintenance costs are currently in the City
Budget.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Staff has been in the process of cataloging Agency and City property. In reviewing the
Agency -owned properties, staff determined that a number of parcels should be
transferred to the City for on -going operation, maintenance purposes, and future
disposition. Attachment 1 is a map identifying the location of the parcels.
These properties are described as follows: the Pioneer Park within the Centre Pointe
project (APN 604-040-057) (Map #1); the La Quinta Community Park (APN 604-470-
001) (Map #2) on Westward Ho Drive and Adams Street; that portion of Fritz Burns
Park 770-184-001) (Map #3) acquired in the Avenue 52 realignment; and the La
Quinta Museum (APN 773-101-001, 002) (Map #4). These parcels should be
transferred to the City for operation and maintenance.
Two landscaped lots, Lots E, F, G, H, and I of Parcel Map 31 1 16-Centre Pointe (Map
#5) and Lot D of Parcel Map 33588-Stamko Development Co. (Map #6), were not
transferred to the City by the County when the Parcel Maps were recorded. The maps
stipulated the lots were to be deeded to the City; in speaking with the County 063
N., . .
Recorders Office, it was an oversight during map recording. Staff is therefore
requesting authorization to make the transfer for on -going maintenance purposes.
In addition, there are three lots (APNs 769-083-007, 008, 009) (Map #7-9) that are
part of the Senior Center and Library complex that should be included in this transfer
for future disposition of the land.
Funding sources for the original purchase of the above properties are as follows: 1)
the La Quinta Community Park and Pioneer Park were purchased with Capital Project
Fund -Project Area No. 2 non -housing funds and 1995 Low -Mod Income Housing Bond
Proceeds respectively; 2) the addition to Fritz Burns Park was purchased with Capital
Project Fund -Project Area No. 1 Non -Housing Tax Increment Funds; 3) the Museum
was purchased with Project Area No. 1 Non -Housing Tax Increment Funds; and 4) the
three lots on Main Street/Avenida La Fonda were purchased with Capital Project Fund -
Project Area No. 1 Non -Housing Funds.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Agency Board include:
1. Approve the transfer of ten parcels of land from the Redevelopment Agency to
the City and authorize the City Attorney to prepare and the Executive Director
to execute the required documents; or
2. Do not approve the transfers; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.
