CITY OF MOORPARK,CALIFORNIA City Council Me8f ng 01' AC`I'lO 4: SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF BOOR-P-AR AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Successor Agency Board FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Program Manag DATE: June 21, 2017 (Successor Agency #eting of 07/05/17) SUBJECT: Consider Lease Agreement with Tom Lindstrom RV Sales, Inc. BACKGROUND Tom Lindstrom RV Sales, Inc. (Lindstrom) has been renting the property at 500 Los Angeles Avenue pursuant to short term lease agreements of three months, with a 90- day option to extend. These agreements have allowed Lindstrom to conduct recreational vehicles sales until the property is ready to be developed or sold as required by the Redevelopment Dissolution Laws, including AB 1484 ("Dissolution Law"). Lindstrom has been in a hold-over status since the expiration of the last lease agreement in April 2014. He has continued to pay the monthly rent of$2,000 per month. DISCUSSION Lindstrom has been renting the property at 500 Los Angeles Avenue since September 2011. On February 1, 2012, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ("Agency") was dissolved by action of the State of California. The Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ("Successor Agency") was formed to wind down the Agency. While the Successor Agency has commenced the wind down process of the Agency, Lindstrom has continued to rent the property, with the goal of eventually purchasing the property once the Successor Agency was able to sell it. The process of selling the property to Lindstrom is complicated due to the fact that the former Agency purchased the Property with Redeveloment Agency issued tax exempt bonds. Staff is still working with the City Attorney and Bond Counsel on finalizing the process to sell the property and not run afoul of the bond indenture and covenants. While the details are being worked out, Lindstrom has approached the Successor Agency about another lease and is requesting a one year lease term. 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 379 Honorable Successor Agency Board July 5, 2017 Page 2 utilities and trash service to the property. At the end of the lease term if Lindstrom wishes to continue to rent the property, a new lease agreement will need to be approved by the Successor Agency and Oversight Board. The Successor Agency's action on the lease is contingent on subsequent approval by the Oversight Board and the California Department of Finance. FISCAL IMPACT The lease agreement rental rate is $2,000/mo and will provide $24,000 in rental revenue for the one year term. No rental increase is proposed at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve Lease Agreement with Tom Lindstrom RV Sales, Inc. for the period of July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018, and authorize the Executive Director to sign the lease, subject to final language approval of the Executive Director and City Attorney, and approval by the Oversight Board and California Department of Finance.
