TALUS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (FORMERLY SILVERROCK) — STATUS UPDATE City Attorney lhrke said on August 5, 2024, SilverRock Development Company LLC and its affiliates, collectively referred to as "SDC," voluntarily petitioned for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware; and per Council's direction and approval, the City retained Special Counsel who has continuously been working with the City Manager and City Attorney throughout these proceedings. Mr. Ihrke noted bankruptcy cases move quickly, particularly in the beginning; and since the last update, provided at the September 17, 2024, Council meeting, one hearing was held in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on September 27, 2024, in which the court granted an Interim Order authorizing the debtors, in this case SDC, to obtain Debtor -In -Possession (or "DIP") Financing, and Scheduling of Final Hearing. This action can be summarized as the "First step" in the City -led negotiated DIP Financing that would be provided to the Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) with the ability to have funding to clean up the site and begin remediation at the Talus project site. The CRO is an independent "supervisor," it is not the debtors (SDC), who administers and oversees the management of the debtors' estate and proposed reorganization plan to come out of the bankruptcy proceedings. This was a thoroughly negotiated DIP Financing package led by the City, after the bankruptcy court previously denied an originally proposed DIP Financing motion, which involved a financing company that was not a party to the proceedings and had proposed very expensive and severe financing terms that were not acceptable to the judge. Following the court's denial, the City led the effort in meeting with the debtors, the CRO, and major constituents to the lawsuit, to come up with this alternative financing plan. In summary, the court's Interim Order accepting the DIP Financing, authorized the City to issue an initial payment of up to $250,000 of a proposed total of $2 million that the City would commit; the total $2 million is pending the Final Order from the court, expected later this month. The DIP Financing funds must be used for specific items relating to the property and getting the project secured and running again, with those items in a budget approved by the City, such as costs to secure the site, remedial construction work and clean-up, and dust and erosion control to name a few. The City's DIP Financing is in the form of a loan, bearing interest at the current Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) rate set by the State (currently at 4.55%), to be secured by deeds of trust, and final payment of all City -loaned funds is currently set for March 15, 2025, or perhaps repaid earlier or later, depending on the status of the case and the bankruptcy court's approval of a bankruptcy reorganization CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 of 11 OCTOBER 1, 2024 plan. The DIP Financing allows other funding to be provided by other parties, such as existing creditors in this bankruptcy proceeding and RD Olson, as the primary contractor of the project site, who is a major constituent involved with the DIP Financing terms. Mr. Ihrke noted that the City Manager, City Attorney, and Special Counsel for the City have been working with the CRO, the debtors, other major constituents, and their respective legal counsel, in connection with this DIP Financing package to ensure the Talus site does not fall into further disrepair, project construction can restart as soon as possible, and most importantly, that the City's right is preserved and exercised to approve the next developer to take over the project under the operative agreements. Finally, Mr. Ihrke said the City Manager, City Attorney, and the City Clerk's Office are coordinating to have these summary updates, per Council's request, published on the City's website. City Manager McMillen said the City has a lot of control over the Talus project as it still owns approximately 400 acres of land surrounding the perimeter of the project site; the center core construction of the commercial project components, roughly 130 acres, is what is subject to the bankruptcy proceedings; Mr. McMillen is in constant communications with Jason Herthel, President and Chief Operating Officer of the hotel operator, Montage, who continuous to stress the importance of this project for the company, as Montage has expressed strong interest to have a presence in the Coachella Valley, and particularly in La Quinta; Mr. McMillen is also in constant communications with RD Olson and Granite Construction, the major contractors of the project site, and they both have expressed interest in completing the construction they started. Mr. McMillen noted, last week, that the City Manager, the Building Official, the CRO, and RD Olsen, conducted a thorough walk-through of the project site to identify the priority items that need to be addressed immediately to secure the assets, not only to protect the adjacent properties, but also to protect what has been constructed to date from further exposure to the elements to ensure the integrity and value of the construction can be preserved, even though some elements of the construction will require removal due to its exposure to the elements over the last year or so; currently, there is a lot of collaboration in working with all parties involved to ensure this process moves along smoothly and quickly, and the City is in a favorable position to facilitate it.
