and Motus, LLC, to resolve all litigation and outstanding claims regarding the
development of the vacant real property at Assessor’s Parcel Numbers:
179-18-310-062, generally located at 150 Copper Street; 179-18-710-070,
generally located at 51 East Texas Avenue; 179-18-710-194, generally located
at 251 South Texas Avenue; and 179-18-810-032, 179-18-810-033,
179-18-810-034, and 179-18-810-035, generally located at 52 Lynn Lane,
39 West Basic Road, 35 West Basic Road, and 31 West Basic Road, commonly
known as Site F, and authorization for the Executive Director to execute and
deliver all documents necessary to effectuate the settlement, including the
extension of time for previously-approved developer grants, subordination of
Agency’s remedies, and establishment of new timelines and procedures for
development, each in a form approved by the City Attorney.
Anthony Molloy, Redevelopment Manager, gave a presentation on this item and
stated a staff memorandum and a redlined agreement were added to the
backup material which included no substantive type changes. He said
construction must commence within four months if this agenda item is
approved, and that staff recommends approval.
Chairman March asked staff if there were any public comments related to this
item.
Sabrina Mercadante, Secretary, stated there were no public comments received

Member Shaw stressed the importance of Motus meeting the new benchmark
performance dates. He said if those dates are not met, the Agency may take
Site F back with a loan on the property because it is now in second position.

Tuesday, July 21, 2020 – Draft Minutes
Following an inquiry by Chairman March regarding the confidence in Motus to
finish the project, Mr. Molloy said there are requirements in the amended
agreement to provide the Agency with their executed construction agreement
and proof of financing for the construction. Mr. Molloy stated the subordination
agreement references $3,900,000.00 and he believes Motus expects that
amount to cover the construction loan.
Responding to an inquiry by Chairman March regarding if Motus will be
constructing the project, Mr. Molloy stated he does not believe they are going to
self-perform.
Member Shaw requested a copy of the contract with the financing to ensure
there are adequate reserves as a condition for approval.
Following an inquiry by Member Romero regarding the construction status on
the developer’s associated sites, Mr. Molloy stated Motus is on schedule and is
required to complete the other projects within the next five months.
Responding to an inquiry by Member Romero regarding if there is third-party
construction control, Mr. Molloy said that was not included on this project;
furthermore, that would be an added expense.
Nick Vaskov, General Counsel, said the City typically requires construction
control when City funds are involved in a project. He explained construction
control was not used in this instance since the construction costs are the
developer’s responsibility.
(Motion)
Member Michelle Romero moved to approve the Mutual Release and
Settlement Agreement between the Agency and Motus, LLC, to resolve all
litigation and outstanding claims regarding the development of the vacant real
property at Assessor’s Parcel Numbers: 179-18-310-062, generally located at
150 Copper Street; 179-18-710-070, generally located at 51 East Texas
Avenue; 179-18-710-194, generally located at 251 South Texas Avenue; and
