Agreement - Galaxy Commercial Holding - Mr. Gee reported the Redlands
Downtown Master Plan, prepared by Torti Gallas and Partners, listed four
master plan goals with the fourth being to "enhance and extend the civic
realm." The sub-goals included consideration of new City Hall facility, a
consolidated and new police facility and a new civic use for all or a portion of
the current City Hall site. Galaxy Commercial Holding, LLC has offered to
negotiate with the Agency to jointly determine the feasibility of implementing all
or a portion of the Downtown Master Plan Goal and to explore alternative land
uses on the current City Hall site and surrounding area. Mrs. Peppier
expressed concerns with this developer and directed Mr. Gee to advise them
we do not want any problems. Mr. Gee indicated his discussions with Galaxy
have addressed this and the concerns will be included in the contract. Mr.
Harrison wanted to set up the program so that other groups are not excluded
from working with the Agency. Mr. George moved that the Agency Board direct
staff to respond to Galaxy Commercial Holding, LLC, by authorizing staff to
develop a limited exclusive negotiation agreement and return to the Agency
Board for consideration, and to inform Galaxy that the Agency Board would
solicit proposals from any qualified developers and investors including Galaxy
interested in the revitalization of the two sites. Motion seconded by Mrs.
Gilbreath and carried unanimously.
