SCHEDULED ITEMS
On June 28, 1990, Casden Properties acquired the 5.4 acre
site at the northwest corner of Foothill and San Gabriel
from the Agency. They acquired the site prior to the Agency
receiving tank closure on the former Exxon site. Casden
contends that the presence of soils contamination has
impaired their abiity to obtain construction financing.
With direction from the Board to repurchase the site, staff
commenced negotiations with Casden and has reached a
compromise of $2,325,000 plus interest from date of
conveyance. The total, assuming a June 30, 1991 closing,
will be $2,567,126.
Discussion was held regarding this item and Redevelopment
Director Steel responded to questions posed by the Board.
Costs for contamination removal and recovery of these funds
from Exxon was discussed. Possible litigation by Casden was
touched upon, in the event we do repurchase the property;
however, as advised by General Counsel, discussion on this
issue was not pursued.
It was consensus of the Board that this matter be discussed
in Closed Session relative to possible litigation.
