Fiscal Note
This resolution authorizes a purchase and sale agreement between the city and Hovde Properties LLC ("the developer") for sale of the current land and buildings occupied by Fire Department Administration. This property will be combined with other property owned by the developer as part of a mixed-use condominium project. The city will purchase and build-out space in the project for Fire Department Administration. The agreement includes incorporating Fire Station No. 1 into the project. The purchase and sale agreement includes a developer financing contingency that includes tax incremental financing assistance. The scope and extent of city support to the developer related to this contingency will be addressed during the contingency period.
Estimated costs of the city elements of the project (proceeds from sale of Fire Department Administration facility and land; Fire Administration condominium purchase, build-out, and furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E); purchase of parking condominium; cost to rehabilitate Fire Station 1; costs related to purchase; temporary lease space for Fire Administration during construction; and design costs) total $13.8 million. Included in the sale price of the current Fire Administration property is a $100,000 escrow that can be used by the developer to pay for environmental remediation and asbestos abatement on the property.
