Synopsis of Previous Council Action: ® August 24, 2015 -- Mayor and Common Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-195, authorizing the filing of an application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for annexation of the City to the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (County Fire). Action Requested: As a condition of the annexation referred to above, the City is to transfer to County Fire all property and facilities held by the City for the purpose of providing fire protection. Among those facilities is real property located at 120 South D Street in the City of San Bernardino (Property). The Property is owned by the San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing Authority (JPFA), a joint powers authority consisting of the City of San Bernardino and the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino, now the City of San Bernardino as Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency. The JPFA acquired the Property in June 2009 from Tim Burgess (Burgess) for use as a fire department maintenance facility for firefighting equipment. In connection with the purchase, the JPFA executed a promissory note to Burgess for $1,200,000 and a deed of trust securing payment of the note. Also in June 2009, the JPFA leased the Property to the City for use as a maintenance facility. The City's lease payments for the use of the Property are paid directly to Burgess and are applied against the outstanding balance of the promissory note. The current Updated: 6/16/2016 by Georgeann "Gigi" Hanna A L Packet Pg.420 4503 principal amount due under the promissory note is $1,100,000. The City, JPFA, and Burgess have agreed to a discounted payoff of the outstanding balance in a amount of $990,000 principal plus accrued and unpaid interest of$25,361.48, for a total amount of $1,015,361.48. Payment of the discounted amount will allow the promissory note and deed of trust to be retired and reconveyed, making it possible for clear title to the Property to be conveyed to County Fire. The agreement creating the JPFA designates the Council as the JPFA governing board and the Mayor as the chairperson of the JPFA. Accordingly, it is requested that the Council, acting as JPFA governing board, authorize the Mayor to sign the Discounted Payoff Agreement attached to this report on behalf of the JPFA, and that the Council further authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement on behalf of the City. In addition, it is requested that the Council acting as JPFA governing board approve the transfer of the Property to County Fire and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents and take all necessary actions to effectuate the transfer.
