HODGDON and SHARON D. HODGDON, hereafter "Hodgdons", and ALL AMERICA CITY PUBLIC GOLF, INC., a California corporation, hereafter "Corporation". RECITALS 1. On May 1, 1978, the Agency and Hodgdons entered into a Property Owners Participation Agreement for the development of their property in the Agency's State College Project No. 4 and agreed therein to construct total improvements of a value of $7,880,000. However, Hodgdons have caused to be developed on their property construction of administrative facilities, residences, condominiums and other improvements of a value of approximately $32,660,000.1 which is an increase of $24,780,000. in excess of their obligation under their Agreement. In addition, Hodgdons have caused to be prepared an approved master plan of Shandin Hills for a development which, when completed, will result in approximately 2,500 additional residential units at an additional value of approximately $150,000,000. or more, excluding allied commercial development. 2. Further, pursuant to their Agreement, Hodgdons have implemented the following: a) Contributed and conveyed to the Agency 60 plus or minus acres of land for the construction of an 18 hole championship golf course at an MIA appraised value of $1,500,000, Exhibit "A" attached; b) Made the golf course possible by guaranteeing payment of the $2,500,000 Golf Course Mortgage Revenue Bond issue„ hereafter "bond issue", which could not have otherwise been sold by the Agency for the construction of the golf course; c) Contributed the sum of $100,000 to the Agency for the development of Blair Park and paid out an additional $14,000 for imported fill dirt which was needed after construction had commenced and which was not originally contemplated by the parties as needed in order to develop the park; d) Caused to have been paid to the City the sum of approximately $735,285.00, which included increases in overall building fees -for the Shandin Hills present construction development through June 1981 of approximately $417,877.00 over, and above the original overall building fee amounts of approximately $317,408.00 in existence at the time the -original agreements were formulated in May 1978; (See Exhibit "B"). e) Modified existing pro shop facilities to accommodate limited food and beverage service that was previously the exclusive right given to the Elks Association by the City, and Agency for their contemplated golf clubhouse facility_ 3. On May 30, 1978, the Agency and the Corporation entered into a Lease and Operating Agreement, hereafter the "Lease", which said lease was re -executed on May 6, 1980, whereby the Agency agreed to construct or cause to be constructed an 18 -hole championship golf -2- course and, among other things, to construct and install the _1 necessary off-site improvements, public parking area, restrooms, pro shop and golf cart building and appurtenances. k. The Lease provides that the term is for 55 years commencing upon the completion of the golf course and improvements listed in paragraph 3, supra, by the Agency and its acceptance by the Corporation after receipt of Notice of Completion. 5. The golf course has been substantially constructed but has not been completed due to the following unforeseen circumstances which have prevented the final implementation of all of the terms of the original agreement by the parties: a) Contamination of the fairways from an outside source causing the grass to die which, in turn, causes excessive erosion on certain of the hillside areas of the golf course; b) Surface waters flowing off of adjoining property causing erosion on various areas of the course; c) Construction delays and duplication of already completed portions of the project caused by geologic defects not shown on the original geologic report; d) Delays caused by the cancellation by the Elks Association of its agreement to locate on adjoining property for the construction of the Elks Lodge and Golf Clubhouse and, as a result thereof, Hodgdons were required to modify the pro shop facility to incorporate limited food and beverage service. 6. At the request of the City of San Bernardino and Agency, _3_ Hodgdons have prepared a comprehensive report entitled"' overall Shandin Hills and Public Golf Course Development Progress, June 22, 1981", which includes construction walk-through memoranda (con- struction punch list), a photolog which graphically shows the - contamination problems and also outlines the items which they contend must be completed before they and the Corporation will accept the course as completed and operational. A copy of said report is made a part hereof as Exhibit "C". 7. In addition, as a part of the "Overall Shandin Hills and Public Golf Course Development Progress, June 22, 1981" (Exhibit "C") mentioned above, there is shown generally proposed additional development plans necessitated in part by the withdrawal and City and Agency rescinding of the Elks Association participation agreement as part of the overall golf course project. These plans graphically set.forth a generally proposed alternate food and beverage service.facility and recreational area. These graphically presented plans appear in the reduced form of four colored photographs located on the facing page to Page 9.of the report entitled "Overall Shandin Hills and Public Golf Course Development Progress, June 22, 1981" and consists of the following information (Exhibit "D"): a) Site Plan showing the existing pro shop facility with the general proposed alternate food and beverage service facility and a recreational area consisting of, but not limited to, a swimming pool and tennis court together with the overall �Y parking area therefore. b) Floor. plan showing the general proposed layout of the restaurant and lounge, meeting areas, kitchen and food -4- .'`�tiG�.-�:,"aiY.tL.i.�i.�-5:4G1ot"a'?,"M+S1�..�.i?y:"'.J�..,+rL Preparation facilities together with other rooms and areas as -� set forth therein. C) Two elevations of the generally proposed facility, one from the parking lot area and one from the golf course. d) Elevations of the generally proposed facilities by means of cross-section drawings showing in Section A-A, the storage area, meeting room and golf cart storage and in Section B-B, the kitchen, restaurant and lounge and golf cart storage. 8. Although knowledge that a golf course was going to be and has been constructed was instrumental in accelerating the development of the area surrounding the golf course and the overall State College area, and the community asset of the golf course is absolutely essential to the continued development of the surrounding area and the integrity of the existing development. It is to the best financial and other interests of the City and Agency that the course be completed with no deficiencies so that it will compare favorably with other first-class golf courses in this and the Palm Springs area, particularly since the course extends approximately one and one-half miles on both sides of Interstate Highway 15E representing the northwesterly entrance to the City. 9. If the course is not completed and if this matter is not amicably resolved, there is a good possibility that the golf course will cease to exist and will revert to bare land, resulting in tremendous financial losses to the Agency, the City, Corporation, and Hodgdons and in irreparable damage to the reputation of the City and Agency. Further, the purchasers of the residences and -5- condominiums surrounding and in the vicinity of the golf course - who bought them in reliance of having a golf course in their area would be damaged. 10. Agency is desirous of transferring the responsibility for the completion of the golf course and the correction of any existing deficiencies to the Corporation and to have it accept the course "as is" on August 1, 1981 with the exception of the drainage, contamination and erosion problems caused by the run off of surface waters from the adjoining Culligan property and the . Corporation is willing to -agree to accept the golf course and the responsibility for its completion and maintenance provided the City- and ityand Agency accepts the responsibility of correcting the drainage, contamination and erosion problems. 11. It appears that the best solution for solving the contam- ination, drainage and erosion problems may require the City or Agency's use of its power of eminent domain. 12. It is contemplated that the golf course will not be playable before May 1, 1982 because the greens and fairways would be permanently damaged if -the grass turf is not firmly established prior to that date and, as a result thereof, the Corporation will not be receiving any income from the course until that date. 13. By the terms of the Lease, the Corporation is obligated to pay the Agency rent sufficient to amortize the $2,500,000 mortgage revenue bond issue and, as a part thereof, is obligated to make an initial rental payment in the sum of $500,000 on or before May 1, 1982. 14. There is available from remaining proceeds of, said bond -6- issue the sum of $ 166,518.00 Exhibit "E" attached. shown by the calculations on 15. There is now due, owing and unpaid to the golf course contractor, Jess Hubbs and Son, as shown on Exhibit"E-10'attached hereto, the sum of $202,083.31 under its contract with the Agency for the construction of the golf course and appurtenant facilities_ 16. The drainage basin for the golf course contiguous to Little Mountain Drive south of the cond6miniums heretofore constructed is unsightly and has provoked neighborhood complaints and in addition the condominium developer'has caused drainage water from the con- dominiums to flow onto the golf course by means of the condominium developer breaking out areas of the block curb contiguous to the golf course and also running a drain pipe from the condominiums into the golf course. This condominium drainage onto the golf course by the condominium contractor was not permitted by the City and Agency. 17. Hodgdons have agreed to re -execute deedscovering contributed land for the golf course to the Agency, copies of which are attached marked Exhibit "F" and "r-1". 18. -As a result of all of the foregoing a dispute has arisen. between the parties regarding various issues and they are desirous of resolving all issues existing at this time, of finding an expeditious method of completing the course and correcting all deficiencies. In addition, the parties have had innumerable conferencesand to avoid the expense of litigation have now arrived: at the following compromise; AGENCY AGREES THAT IT WILL: A. Accept full responsibility for the diversion of the .7- Culligan run-off water which presently flows onto the golf course from the culverts underneath the I -15E Freeway, and the correction of the contamination problem therefrom by diverting the water by one of Alternatives A through E selected by the Agency as shown on the plans prepared by L. A. Wainscott & Associates attached hereto as Exhibit "G". Construction to accomplish the diversion shall be commenced and completed as soon as is reasonably practical and Agency concurrently with the approval of this Agreement will issue an addendum to the Hubbs contract to accomplish the necessary construction. Have the developer of the condominiums repair the sections il .of block curb they have broken out of said curb contiguous to the golf course to prevent water from draining onto the golf course and to also remove the drainage pipe the developer installed into the golf course as condominium drainage onto the golf course or installation of drainage pipes into the golf course was not approved by the City, Agency or. operator. C. Make available to the Corporation from the golf course bond proceeds the sum of $166,518.00 for which the Corporation will accept responsibility to correct all deficiencies and the cost thereof referred to in "Paragraph B" under the section "The Corporation Agrees that It Will" herein. D. Pay to Hubbs the sum of $202,083.31 for all past work' on said course and for maintenance up to and including August 1, 1481, and obtain from Hubbs a complete set of "as built" plans for the project as required in the construction bid documents, and make said plans available to Corporation. -8.- E. Use its best efforts to have the City complete the improvements to Blair Park in accordance with the plan upon which Hodgdons relied when they contributed the $100,000 to the Agency for the improvement of the park (Exhibit F. The City of San Bnardino and Agency approves the construction of the generally proposed alternate food and beverage facility and recreational area as generally shown in attached Exhibit "C", subject to normal approval of the plans and specifications for said construction, should Corporation, at its sole option and discretion, elect to build said facilities during the term of this Lease. G. Deliver water to the course at $25.00 per acre foot plus the cost of any increased electrical power after May 1, 1982. The increased rate, if any, shall be based and calculated on the most efficient operation of the electric power of the well producing water into,the City water system in order to continue serving the golf course by gravity flow and agrees, however, that the Corporation'shall have the right to select the alternate method set forth in Paragraph 3B.(2) of the Lease.. e- THE CORPORATION AGREES THAT IT WILL: A. Accept the golf course "as is" effective August 1, 1981 and will thereafter assume full and complete responsibility for the completion of the course and the correction of any deficiencies -9= now or hereafter existing except for the problems referred to in Recital 5(a) and (b) of this Agreement and will thereafter maintain it in the same manner that an efficient, successful operating golf course is maintained including, but not limited to, fertilization, watering, furnishing security and obtaining and keeping in effect all necessary insurances as required by Section 16 of the Lease. B. In consideration of the Agency making available to the Corporation from the golf course bond proceeds the sum of $166,518.00, accept responsibility for and assume the cost of correcting all deficiencies outlined in Exhibit "C" other than those agreed to be assumed by the Agency, supra. C. Will simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement execute the originals of Exhibits "F" and "F-1" attached hereto. D. Landscape the drainage basin located on Little Mountain Drive south of the newly constructed -condominiums and thereafter maintain same during the term of the Lease. THE PARTIES AGREE: 1. Rental payments shall commence on May 1, 1982, as provided. in the Lease provided Agency and City are not in default under any of the provisions herein or of the Lease. 2. In the event the Agency elects to pursue a claim for damages against Culligan, Hodgdon and the Corporation agree that they will cooperate in providing any documentary evidence they have to the Agency to support said claim and Hodgdon will testify, if necessary, in any litigation between the Agency and Culligan. -10- 3. Paragraph 29F of the Lease is hereby modified to provide for the construction and operation of the facilities described in paragraph 7 above, and further that paragraph 5(f) - page 20 - of the Lease shall not apply to the generally proposed alternate food and beverage service and recreational facilities. 4. Agency will record with the San Bernardino County Recorder a partial "Notice of Completion" covering said golf course con- struction on or before September 1, 1981 (Exhibit "I"). 5. The parties hereby mutually release each other from any and all claims, demands, damages or causes of action of any kind or nature arising out of or in any way connected with the items in dispute set forth in this agreement upon the completion of per- formance by the parties of the actions agreed to herein. 6. Except as herein modified, if at all, the Participating Owners Agreement and the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the date and year first above written.
