Miller, City Manager't VW J By: Kathy Brann, Housing Manager Steven H. Dukett, Consultant N 0 Subject: Exclusive Right to Represent Owner for Sale or Lease of Real Property with Lee and Associates Commercial Real Estate 3 Services Inc. Related to Theater Square O W Recommendation Adopt a Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, W California, approving the Exclusive Right to Represent Owner for Sale or Lease of Real o Property with Lee and Associates Commercial Real Estate Services Inc. related to ,,. Theater Square, and approving certain related actions. 0 Of W Background Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (the "HSC") § 34172 (a) (1), the Redevelopment x Agency of the City of San Bernardino was dissolved on February 1, 2012. Consistent w with the provisions of the HSC, the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino (the "City") previously elected to serve in the capacity of the Successor Ln Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino (the "Successor Agency"). The Oversight Board for the Successor Agency ("Oversight Board") has been established pursuant to HSC § 34179 to assist in the wind-down of the dissolved W redevelopment agency. 0 On September 15, 2015, the Successor Agency submitted its Oversight Board- w approved Long-Range Property Management Plan (the "LRPMP") to the California Department of Finance (the "DOF"). On December 31, 2015, the DOF approved the a W Successor Agency's LRPMP and notified the Successor Agency that pursuant to HSC § 34191.3, the approved LRPMP shall govern, and supersede all other o provisions relating to the disposition and use of all the real property assets of the a former redevelopment agency. The approved LRPMP, which addresses the < disposition and use of the real property assets held by the Successor Agency, W includes 230 parcels of land grouped into forty-six (46) separate sites, eighteen (18) _J of which were designated as government use sites, seven (7) of which are E a Packet Pg. 583 19.a designated as future development sites and twenty-one (21) of which were designated to be sold. _J s Per the direction of DOF, on August 1, 2016, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2016-165, which authorized the transfer from the Successor Agency and the acceptance by the City of the seven (7) sites identified with the LRPMP as 0 future development sites subject to the City's compliance with the applicable a provisions of the HSC governing the later transfer of real property to third-party entities, instead of the Successor Agency, just as though said real property had o never been transferred to the City by the Successor Agency in the first place. y Consistent with the foregoing, the Successor Agency transferred the future development sites to the City via quitclaim deed on August 16, 2016 and the City is now responsible for compliance with the applicable provisions of the HSC governing the later transfer of the future development sites to third-parties. 0 As a result of the above, the City is the owner of that certain real property consisting of L d approximately 5.5 acres of land located at 450 North "E" Street, which includes the 3 Regal Cinemas building, adjacent parking and undeveloped land (APNs 0134-121-25, o 27, 28, 29, 35, 36 and 37) (the "Property"). Within the LRPMP the Property: i) is identified as a non-contiguous portion of Site No. 21 (i.e., also known as the Theater Square site); ii) is described as a public facility/commercial site; iii) is designated for future development; and iv) does not include those portions of LRPMP Site No. 21 0 related to the California and Sturges Theatres. Discussion On November 2, 2015, Mayor and City Council approved an Exclusive Negotiation N Agreement (the "ENA") with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. and the Fransen Company, Inc. (the "AECOM/Fransen") with respect to the development and use of w the Carousel Mall and Theater Square sites and amended the ENA on August 15, 2016. Consistent with the ENA, on August 15, 2016, the Mayor and City Council to also approved a Theater Square Development Services Agreement (the "DSA") with AECOM/Fransen, which superseded the ENA with respect to the procedure for the o sale and development of the Property. a w It Pursuant to the DSA, AECOM/Fransen has prepared the original and the amended cY Theater Square Strategic Plan, both of which have been approved by the Mayor and W City Council. Consistent with and for the purposes of implementing the amended Theater Square Strategic Plan and with the express approval of AECOM/Fransen, it w is necessary to engage the services of a qualified real estate broker to assist AECOM/Fransen and the City with respect to the disposition of the Property at its o market value. Pursuant to the DSA and amended Theater Square Strategic Plan, 0 AECOM/Fransen solicited proposals from qualified commercial real estate brokers, a which resulted in two real estate brokers submitting proposals. Based on a review of w proposals by representatives of the City and AECOM/Fransen and a follow-up � confirming interview, it was determined that that Lee and Associates Commercial Real Estate Services, Inc. (the "Lee and Associates") was the more responsive real r a Packet Pg. 584 19.a a c cc estate broker and better met the current needs of the City and AECOM/Fransen with respect to the sale or lease of the City's Theater Square real property assets. r Adoption of the attached resolution will approve the Exclusive Right to Represent Owner for Sale or Lease of Real Property (the "Listing Agreement") with Lee and Associates with respect to the sale or lease of the City's Theater Square real 0 property assets, a copy which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". The Resolution has a been reviewed with respect to applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (the "CEQA"), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title o 14, § 15000 et seq., hereafter the "CEQA Guidelines"), and the City's environmental y guidelines. The Resolution does not constitute a "project" for purposes of CEQA, as that term is defined by CEQA Guidelines § 15378, because it constitutes general policy and procedure making and organizational or administrative activity that will not 0 result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment, per § 15378 (b) (2) rn and (5) of the CEQA Guidelines. 0 w Fiscal Impact 3 Pursuant to the Listing Agreement, Lee and Associates will be entitled to a three- O percent (3%) contingent sales commission with respect to the Regal Cinemas property and a six-percent (6%) commission with respect to the balance of the Theater Square L site. The payment of the commission will be funded from land sales proceeds and will be paid at the closing of the purchase and sale escrow. Neither the City nor the 0 Successor Agency is obligated to pay Lee and Associates any fees other than the fees w stated in the Listing Agreement. In addition, through Lee and Associates commission a) sharing program, cooperating brokers who represent prospective buyers, will be entitled to portion of the applicable commission consistent with the Rules of Professional 2 Conduct of the AIR, if a member or if not, the Rules of Professional Conduct of the U Society of Industrial and Office Realtors. w v Conclusion It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the Exclusive Right to Represent Owner for Sale or Lease of Real Property o with Lee and Associates Commercial Real Estate Services Inc. related to Theater a.

An Owner's agent may act as an agent for the Owner only. An Owner's agent or a subagent has the following affirmative obligations: To the Owner: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, < and loyalty in dealings. To a potential buyer/lessee and the Owner: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in w performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts uJ known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above. s Ik (b) Agent Representing Both Parties. A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the agent of both Parties in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of a Packet Pg. 597 19.b the Parties.
