City Council Minutes -3- 4/5/94 0 0 r w AGENDA ITEM April 5, 1994 TO: George Scarborough, City Manager FROM: William M. Huber, Director of Engineering & Building SUBJECT: Approval of First Amendment to Completion Agreement, Marbella Crest (Tract 13846) 0 AL1 1 1 It is recommended that the City Council approve the First Amendment to the Completion Agreement for Marbella Crest( Tract 13846). FSI lillm"170 . ii ii . r i � .. inn • i i . i r In order to provide financial flexibility and keep the Marbella Crest project moving toward completion, it is recommended that City Council approve the Amendment to the Completion Agreement. 01019-- 1 IM On June 15, 1993, City Council approved the Completion Agreement with Capital Financial Consultants, Inc., for the fulfillment of the grading, landscaping and public improvements in the Marbella Crest (Tract 13846) subdivision. The agreement provided the developer would expend their financial resources first; then, the fimds collected by the City on the previous developer's bonds would be spent to finish the project (approximately $448,000). The original estimate to complete the project was $1,050,000, which meant Capital Financial's share was approximately $511,000. To date, the costs have risen to $1,280,000, with Capital Financial contributing in excess of $570,000. Capital Financial has requested the City consider an alternative to the original funding agreement by accepting a $250,000 Surety bond, which would allow them access to the bond proceeds being held by the City. The proposed arrangement can be viewed in two ways, the first is that we currently have an all cash arrangement and accepting the bond weakens our position. However as Council will recall this was a bankrupt project assumed by the primary lenders, who are trying to finish the project and sell the lots. While the owners have proceeded with the work, the willingness of the financial partners to risk further capital at this time is marginal. It is believed that, as Phase I is completed and lots are sold, sufficient income will be generated to complete the remaining work. The second way to view the FOR CITY COUNCIL AGEND , DJ -5 9 a AGENDAITEM -2- 0 April 5, 1994 request is from a purely financial basis. Currently, the City's security is the $448,000. With the surety bond, the security will increase to $690,000. If the developer should walk on the project, we would be in a better position financially to complete the remaining work. The $250,000 bond represents 125% of the estimated work covered by the bond. The bond covers completion of $100,000 worth of work in Phase I and $100,000 worth of work for completion of Phase II. There is no impact to the City's General Fund as a result of this action. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Capital Financial Consultants, Inc. Approve the staff recommendation. 2. Do not approve the staff recommendation. Return to staff for further information. It is recommended that the City Council approve the First Amendment to the Completion Agreement for Marbella Crest ( Tract 13846). Respectfully submitted, William M.
