BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In February 2020, the City published an RFP for property management services for the
Authority's affordable housing properties inventory for qualified low-income residents in
La Quinta; and received one proposal from LQPR.
On May 19, 2020, the Authority executed a 3-year agreement with LQPR for the services,
which was set to expire on June 30, 2023. In November 2022, following LQPR's
dissolution, the Authority executed an Assignment, Assumption, and Consent Agreement
with JC Desert. Under this agreement, JC Desert assumed all of LQPR's contractual
obligations with the Authority, and now operates under the Department of Real Estate as
a dba of La Quinta Palms Realty, Inc. (License No. 02198183).
In June 2023, the Authority executed Amendment No. 1 with JC Desert extending the
agreement term through June 30, 2025.
The proposed Amendment No. 2 with JC Desert, if approved, will extend the term of the
agreement for two additional years, through June 30, 2027. The Authority may terminate
the agreement at any time with a 30-day written notice.
ALTERNATIVES
The Authority may elect not to approve the proposed Amendment No. 2, however, staff
does not recommend this alternative due to the immediate need for these services.
