APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 3 AND RELATED DOCUMENTS TO PURCHASE, SALE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (PSDA) CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 of 13 NOVEMBER 6, 2018 WITH SILVERROCK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LLC (SDC) FOR SILVERROCK RESORT City Economist McMillen and City Attorney Ihrke presented the staff report, which is on file in the Clerk's Office. Mayor Pro Tern Fitzpatrick clarified that the only outstanding claim to be paid as part of the close of escrow was to Urban Habitat related to the golf course realignment. City Manager Spevacek said to date the City has invested approximately $88 million dollars into the SilverRock development through the land purchase as well as improvements to the golf course and utilities to support these uses; this is part of $97 million dollar tax-exempt bond proceeds issued by the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA), meaning the bonds were issued at a lower interest rate because of its municipal status and the interest income received by the bond holders is exempt from federal and state income taxes; due to these added benefits, the par value of the bonds is subject to IRS regulations that limit the City's ability to capitalize on the bonds only up to 10% or $9.7 million in private payments, which is enforceable until the bonds are retired in 2033; private payments are defined as non-traditional revenue (traditional revenue entails property, sales and transient occupancy taxes (TOT)) or improvements funded by a private entity; although the RDA has been dissolved and now the City owns the property, the IRS recognizes that the RDA was an agency of the City and thus the IRS restrictions on the bonds remain in place; the current property value is not $97 million dollars because it does not have the infrastructure necessary for development; there is limited infrastructure that is in place serves only the operations of the Ahmanson Clubhouse, golf course, restrooms, and related facilities; developing a master site infrastructure would require an investment of approximately $30 million dollars by the City; the bonds are paid off/retired from property tax increment revenue that flowed to the RDA, which now flows through the City's Successor Agency (SA) to the bond holders in order to retire this debt in 2033. City Attorney Ihrke explained the IRS implications related to the tax-exempt status of the bonds should the City exceed the 10% cap rule on revenues received from this development; the bonds would become taxable and the bond holders would be liable to pay taxes on all interest income received from the inception of the bonds. City Manager Spevacek said the annual bonds debt service payment is paid with property tax increment revenue the City receives from the state and there is no financial impact on the City's General Fund; when the bonds were CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 of 13 NOVEMBER 6, 2018 issued the RDA's debt obligation did not constitute a debt obligation of the City, and this protection transferred over to the SA; approximately two years ago the City settled its final Recognized Obligation Payments completing any remaining redevelopment dealings. Councilmember Radi inquired about the additional costs and size increase regarding the conference and shared service facility. PUBLIC SPEAKER: DEVELOPER - Robert Green, President of SDC - said originally the facility was designed to be approximately 62,000 sq. ft.; the Pendry Lifestyle Residential units are being designed as two- and three - bedroom for -sale units with lock -offs; the design also includes 10 golf villas with four lock -offs; this generates the equivalent of 130 additional suites and standard guestrooms for the Pendry Lifestyle Residences and 40 additional guestrooms for the golf villas; the entire development will be functioning as a 500-key hotel; whenever the private residences are rented out through the hotel operations, any generated transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenue would go directly to the City because it is not subject to the TOT Sharing Agreement which only applies to the Lifestyle and Luxury Hotels; the ballroom was increased from 8,000 to 10,000 sq. ft., the jr. ballroom was increased from 5,000 to 6,500 sq. ft, and other ancillary improvements increasing the total size of the conference and shared service facility from approximately 62,000 to 72,000 sq. ft.; the decision to move forward with both hotels simultaneously has significantly changed the economics of the deal and increased the risk profile; building this many hotel rooms at the same time has added a lot of cost related to debt service and construction period interest which was difficult to secure; the size of the guestrooms has been increased; based on evaluation and economic analysis the additional improvements are in the best interest of the project. Councilmember Radi asked about the ownership structure of Amendment No. 3 to the PSDA. Mr. Green said the ownership structure consists of four subsidiaries to the SDC - SilverRock Lodging, SilverRock Land, SilverRock Luxury Residences, and SilverRock Lifestyle Residence; with a residential component comes a homeowners association (HOA) and inevitably litigation, thus, to protect the investors and insulate the operating asset, being the hotels, golf courses, etc., from litigation by the HOAs, the ownership structure is separated so that the ownership of the operating asset is completely separate from the developer, owner, or seller of the residential real estate; in this instance, there are two residential components the Pendry Lifestyle and Montage Luxury, the SilverRock Land addresses the investment on the master site infrastructure, and the lodging addresses the real estate component in CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7 of 13 NOVEMBER 6, 2018 Planning Areas 7, 8, and 9; this ownership structure protects the operating asset long-term, which is cumbersome in terms of documentation and legal work, but it is standard practice and a straight forward process. Mayor Pro Tern Fitzpatrick noted all documentation related to Amendment No. 3 to the PSDA is available on the City's website, and the staff report clearly explains and outlines the history of the development, the tax-exempt status of the bonds, and the path going forward. Councilmember Radi said Amendment No. 3 was very well done, it clearly outlines the terms, and the staff report captures all of the major aspects of the agreement. Mayor Evans said a lot of stringent components were put in place to protect the City and to ensure the City had control over the development. Councilmember Pena commended Landmark Golf Management, LLP (Landmark) for doing a terrific job in managing the SilverRock Resort; and said Mosaic were instrumental over the last several months in getting this development to move forward. Mayor Evans inquired about the anticipated on -site development activity and timing should Amendment No. 3 to the PSDA be approved. Mr. Green said SDC has already bid -out competitively the mass grading for the site, and the construction agreement with the top bidder is ready to be signed following approval of Amendment No. 3 and the close of escrow, which will be followed by a notice to proceed allowing the contractor to begin work; a lot of work needs to be done on Planning Area No. 3 for the development of the temporary club house onsite, the grading plan for which is ready to go, and the intent is to mobilize the selected contractor within the next week or two; the temporary clubhouse activity must be coordinated with Landmark, the sprung structure housing the golf carts must also be moved, there is ongoing discussion whether or not the pro shop will be housed in the "Alongi Ebenisterie" modular structure the City acquired versus a trailer; and SDC has made conditional commitments to hire new staff to work under the direction of Project Executive John Gamlin pending Council approval of Amendment No. 3. Mayor Pro Tern Fitzpatrick thanked Montage representatives and Mr. Gamlin for their collaboration with Staff on developing the design of the SilverRock Event Site, which will be integral in creating a synergy between the resort and the City in hosting multi -cultural events and festivals. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 8 of 13 NOVEMBER 6, 2018 Councilmember Radi asked the City Attorney Ihrke to explain the City's ability to repurchase the property as outlined under the option process and the Option Agreement on page 187 of the agenda packet. City Attorney Ihrke said the original PSDA gave the City options to repurchase the land and/or some of the improvements completed on the land up until that point, and this protection mechanism is carried forward in Amendment No. 3 as one of the remedies available to the City; the options are in addition to other remedies available to the City -- (1) enforce Amendment No. 3 to the PSDA which carries several remedies from the original PSDA, (2) land use covenants that run with the land to ensure the various projects are used as originally intended when the property was turned over, and (3) there is an option procedure, which is tied to four different stages and a catch-all option. The four different stages of when an option may be triggered are tied to when a default occurs as follows: (I) If the master site infrastructure (MSI) does not start on -time; (II) If the MSI started on time but failed to finish on time or was delayed continuously; (III) If a project component or components (defined as vertical improvements on the different project areas, such as the luxury hotel, etc.) does not start on time; and (IV) If a project component or components started on time but failed to finish on time or was delayed continuously. The "catch-all" option (Option V) could be triggered if an unauthorized transfer or other identified default occurred. Under the option procedure, depending on the time and type of default, the City would issue a notice of default, SDC or appropriate subsidiary would have the right to cure within 30 to 60 days, and if it is not cured and the MSI is not started, it would give rise to City's the option to repurchase the property, and the City will have 60 days to decide whether to repurchase with the improvements in place, or assign the property to a different developer who may be able to continue the project from that stage and complete it; the purchase price is determined based upon when the options are exercised and what has actually been spent to date by the developer or subsidiary in terms of improvements, or if assigned to a different developer the same conditions would apply. City Attorney Ihrke explained that this option process was from the original PSDA, where there was a more separated approach with the MSI and project components in what was then Phase 1 and Phase 2, which separated the Luxury Hotel component in Phase 1 and Lifestyle Hotel component in Phase 2; there is much more integration under the Third Amendment to the PSDA because the hotels and MSI are being constructed all as one phase now, but the option remedy and general process was carried over to the Third Amendment. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 9 of 13 NOVEMBER 6, 2018 MOTION - A motion was made and seconded by Councilmembers Pena/Fitzpatrick to approve Amendment No. 3 and related documents to Purchase, Sale and Development Agreement with Silverrock Development Company, LLC. for Silverrock Resort as recommended.
