TO: Honorable Successor Agency Board

FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Management Anal <'
DATE: October 30, 2013 (Successor Agency eeting of 11/06/13)
SUBJECT: Consider Lease Agreement with Tom Lindstrom RV Sales, Inc.
BACKGROUND
Tom Lindstrom RV Sales, Inc. has been renting the property at 500 Los Angeles
Avenue via short term lease agreements of three months, with a 90-day option to
extend, to conduct recreational vehicles sales until the property is ready to be
developed or sold as required by AB 1484. The monthly rent is $2,000 per month.
Proceeds from the lease are deposited into the Successor Agency trust fund and used
by the Successor Agency to fulfill enforceable obligations. After payment of enforceable
obligations, any surplus funds are to be distributed in the same manner as property
taxes to the taxing entities.
Mr. Lindstrom has applied for and received a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) from the
City of Moorpark to occupy the property for his intended use. The current TUP is valid
from September 28, 2013 to December 26, 2013. A 90-day extension to March 26, 2014
is allowed by this permit.
DISCUSSION
On September 19, 2012, the Successor Agency approved a lease between the
Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ("Successor
Agency") and Tom Lindstrom RV Sales, Inc. for the property located at 500 Los Angeles
Avenue ("Property"). The lease agreement term was for three months with an option to
extend for an additional three months. The lease term began on October 1, 2012, and
expired on December 31, 2012, or March 31, 2013, with the option to extend.
Subsequent to this lease agreement the Successor Agency entered into another short
term lease agreement with Mr. Lindstrom, which began April 1, 2013 and continued,
with the 90-day extension to September 30, 2013. When Mr. Lindstrom approached the
City about continuing his rental of the property, staff discovered that the previous lease
had never been brought to the Successor Agency and Oversight Board for approval.
The new lease term will begin November 1, 2013 and will continue to January 31, 2014,

or April 30, 2014 with the 90-day extension. The Successor Agency's action on the
lease is contingent on subsequent approval by the Oversight Board.
Staff is requesting retroactive approval of the April 1, 2013 lease and the new short term
lease period which will begin November 1, 2013 and will continue to January 1, 2014 or
April 30, 2014 with the 90-day option to extend. The lease agreement will allow RV
sales only on the property, no servicing, storage, or sale of commercial vehicles is
allowed. Mr. Lindstrom will continue to be responsible for all utilities and trash service to
the property. At the end of the lease term and extension period, if Mr. Lindstrom wishes
to continue to rent the property, a new lease agreement will need to be approved by the
Successor Agency and Oversight Board.
FISCAL IMPACT
The lease agreement rental rate is $2,000/mo and will provide $6,000 in rental revenue
for the three month term and an additional $6,000 in rental revenue if the option to
extend is exercised. No rental increase is proposed at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Retroactively approve Lease Agreement with Tom Lindstrom RV Sales, Inc. for
the period of April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013; and
2. Approve current Lease Agreement with Tom Lindstrom RV Sales, Inc. for the
period of November 1, 2013 to January 31, 2014 or April 30, 2014 with the 90-
day extension, subject to final language approval of the Executive Director.

EXHIBIT A
Insurance Requirements
Tenant will maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below.
Tenant will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing
coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, Tenant agrees to amend,
supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. Tenant acknowledges that the
insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum
amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to SUCCESSOR
AGENCY in excess of the limits and coverage required in this agreement and which is
applicable to a given loss, will be available to SUCCESSOR AGENCY.
Tenant shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office "Commercial
General Liability" policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense costs must be
paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for claims or suits by
one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in aggregate.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including
symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no
event to be less than $1,000,000 per accident and $2,000,000 in aggregate. If Tenant
owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement
to the general liability policy described above. If Tenant or Tenant's employees will use
personal autos in any way on this project, Tenant shall provide evidence of personal
auto liability coverage for each such person.
Pollution Liability Insurance shall be written on a Contractor's Pollution Liability form or
other form acceptable to the City providing coverage for liability arising out of sudden,
accidental and gradual pollution and remediation. The policy limit shall be no less than
$1,000,000 per claim and aggregate.
Worker's Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as
required by law with employer's liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or
disease.
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are
admitted carriers in the State of California and with an A.M. Bests rating of A- or better
and a minimum financial size VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Tenant. Tenant and
SUCCESSOR AGENCY agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Tenant:
376
1. Tenant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds SUCCESSOR
AGENCY, its officials, employees, servants, agents, and independent
consultants ("Successor Agency indemnities"), using standard ISO endorsement
No. CG 2011 with an edition prior to 1996. Tenant also agrees to require all
contractors and subcontractors working on the Premise to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Tenant, or Tenant's agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to
a loss. Tenant agrees to waive subrogation rights against SUCCESSOR
AGENCY regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to
require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Tenant and available or applicable
to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the
SUCCESSOR AGENCY or its operations limits the application of such insurance
coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not
been first submitted to SUCCESSOR AGENCY and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for
bodily injury to an employee of the insured or any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification, and
additional requirements by the SUCCESSOR AGENCY, as the need arises.
Tenant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of
contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect
SUCCESSOR AGENCY'S protection without SUCCESSOR AGENCY'S prior
written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates
of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Tenant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to
SUCCESSOR AGENCY at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the
event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event
such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is
provided, SUCCESSOR AGENCY has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any
insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other
agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by SUCCESSOR
AGENCY shall be charged to and promptly paid by Tenant or deducted from
sums due Tenant, at SUCCESSOR AGENCY's option.
377
8. Certificates are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 day notice to
SUCCESSOR AGENCY of any cancellation of coverage. Tenant agrees to
require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording
stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no
obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to
comply with the requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Tenant, is intended to apply first and on a primary,
non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance
available to SUCCESSOR AGENCY.
10. Tenant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party entering onto
the Premises, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of
Tenant. Tenant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this section. Tenant agrees that upon request, all agreements
with subcontractors and other parties entering onto the Premises will be
submitted to SUCCESSOR AGENCY for review.
11. Tenant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retention or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees
that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, or other entity or person
entering onto the Premises to self-insure its obligations to SUCCESSOR
AGENCY. If Tenant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured
retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the
SUCCESSOR AGENCY. At that time the SUCCESSOR AGENCY shall review
options with the Tenant, which may include reduction or elimination of the
deductible of self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions.
12. For purposes of applying insurance coverage, only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any
steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this
Agreement.
13. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of
the SUCCESSOR AGENCY to inform Tenant of non-compliance with any
insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on
SUCCESSOR AGENCY nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any
other regard.
14. Tenant will renew the required coverage annually as long as SUCCESSOR
AGENCY, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any
378
type pursuant to this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the
Agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this
obligation is not effective until SUCCESSOR AGENCY executes a written
statement to that effect.
15. Tenant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring
during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other
policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has
been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter
from Tenant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of
insurance and/or additional insured endorsement is required in these
specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to
SUCCESSOR AGENCY within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
16. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Tenant under this agreement. Tenant expressly agrees not to use
any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to SUCCESSOR
AGENCY, its employees, officials, and agents.
17. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are
not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a
waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference
to a give coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue, and is not intended by any party of insured to be limiting or all-
inclusive.
18. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
19. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of
this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or
impairs the provisions of this Section.
20. Tenant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party
involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge SUCCESSOR
AGENCY or Tenant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to the
SUCCESSOR AGENCY. It is not the intent of SUCCESSOR AGENCY to
reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements.
There shall be no recourse against SUCCESSOR AGENCY for payment of
premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
21. Tenant agrees to provide immediate notice to SUCCESSOR AGENCY of any
claim or loss against Tenant arising out of the lease of the Premises.
379
SUCCESSOR AGENCY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but
has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or
claims if they are likely to involve SUCCESSOR AGENCY.
