AGENCY OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
TO: VICE CHAIR KELLEY AND
MEMBERS OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD
FROM: BARBARA LEIBOLD, SUCCESSOR AGENCY COUNSEL
DATE: DECEMBER 15, 2015
SUBJECT: Reconsideration of the Third Amendment (2016) To Stadium Interim
Management Agreement
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Oversight Board approve and adopt:
Resolution No. OB- 2015 -0 A RESOLUTION OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD TO THE
SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE FINDING THE THIRD AMENDMENT (2016) TO THE STADIUM
INTERIM MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE TAXING
ENTITIES AND CONFIRMING APPROVAL OF THE THIRD AMENDMENT (2016)
Background
In 2001 and 2002, the Redevelopment Agency entered into certain agreements
involving the operation and maintenance of the Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium,
including a License Agreement, a Stadium Field And Maintenance Agreement, and a
Concession License Agreement (collectively, the "Stadium Operations Contracts ").
Pursuant to the Stadium Operations Contracts, the Storm licensed and maintained the
Stadium for baseball games and other Storm events. An affiliate of the Storm, Golden
State Concessions and Catering, Inc. ( "Golden State "), operated the concessions at the
Stadium. Under the Stadium Operations Contracts, the Agency's management,
operation and maintenance costs were significant and the Stadium operated at a loss.
In 2005, the Agency commenced negotiations with Diamond Stadium Group (DSG) to
undertake all of the Stadium operations, maintenance and management responsibilities.
Storm LP, Golden State and DSG share common controlling ownership. Negotiations
between the Agency and DSG resulted in June 2007 amendments to the Stadium
Operations Contracts and a new Stadium License, Lease and Management Agreement
(the "2007 Management Agreement ").
DSG fulfilled all aspects of the 2007 Management Agreement which reduced the
Agency's Stadium - related costs. However, DSG reported annual losses under the 2007
Management Agreement and in June 2011 chose to exercise its right to terminate the
Reconsideration of Third Amendment To Stadium Interim Management Agreement
December 15, 2015
Page 2
2007 Management Agreement effective December 31, 2012. Upon termination of the
2007 Management Agreement, the rights and responsibilities for Stadium management,
operations and maintenance were again divided in accordance with the Stadium
Operations Contracts; however, at that time, the Successor Agency did not have the
resources to satisfactorily perform its obligations.
On December 11, 2012, the Successor Agency approved the Stadium Interim
Management Agreement ( "Interim Agreement ") to provide for the efficient and cost
effective management, maintenance and operation of the Stadium by the Storm through
2013. A First Amendment to the Interim Agreement was approved in September 2013.
A Second Amendment to the Interim Agreement was approved in September 2014. The
State Department of Finance has approved the allocation of Real Property Tax Trust
Funds for Stadium obligations in accordance with the Successor Agency Recognized
Obligations Payment Schedules (ROPS). The Interim Agreement and the First and
Second Amendments have been successfully implemented to provide for efficient and
cost effective management, maintenance and operation of the Diamond Stadium.
However, the Second Amendment expires on December 31, 2015 at which time the
burden of maintaining, managing and operating Diamond Stadium under the Stadium
Operations Contracts would fall onto the Successor Agency.
Pursuant to the Dissolution Act and provisions of AB 1484, the Successor Agency
prepared a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the period from January 1,
2016 through June 30, 2016 (the "ROPS 15 -16B ") which lists, among other things, as
enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency, the obligations related to the (i)
License Agreement; (ii) Maintenance Agreement; (iii) Concession Agreement; (iv)
Stadium operations and maintenance obligations, and (v) the Interim Agreement.
Consistent with the legislative authorization contained in AB 1484 allowing successor
agencies to enter into enforceable obligations for the purpose of maintaining the assets
of the former Redevelopment Agency, a Third Amendment to the Interim Agreement
was prepared to provide for the continued, efficient and cost effective management,
maintenance and operation of the Stadium through 2016 (Third Amendment (2016)).
On September 22, 2015, the Oversight Board adopted Resolution No. OB 2015 -004
approving the Third Amendment (2016) and following such approval by the Oversight
Board and the Successor Agency, the Third Amendment (2016) was submitted to and
reviewed by the State Department of Finance (DOF).
On November 18, 2015, the Successor Agency was notified by DOF that Oversight
Board Resolution No. OB- 2015 -004 related to the approval of the Third Amendment
(2016) was not approved by DOF.
While DOF acknowledged that Health & Safety Code section 34171(d)(1)(F) allows
contracts or agreements necessary for the maintenance of assets prior to disposition,
DOF expressed its reservations about the Third Amendment (2016)'s increase in the
estimated Capital Repair Schedule costs by $1,921,912 to a total of $3,286,912. [Note:
DOF misinterpreted the monetary provisions of the Third Amendment which was

Page 3
addressed by Successor Agency staff at its Meet and Confer meeting with DOF
discussed below.] DOF concluded this increase would not be in the best interests of the
taxing entities and directed the Oversight Board to reconsider the matter.
That reconsideration is now before the Oversight Board.
In addition to referring the action back to the Oversight Board, DOF denied the
Successor Agency the requested allocation of Real Property Tax Funds on the ROPS
15 -16B for the Third Amendment. The Successor Agency Executive Director, Director
of Administrative Services and Agency Counsel attended a Meet and Confer with DOF
on December 3, 2015 appealing that determination. The matter in presently under
consideration and DOF is expected to issue its findings by December 17, 2015. As part
of that evaluation, DOF will look to the Oversight Board action upon reconsideration.
Discussion
The Stadium Operations Contracts are in full force and effect and constitute enforceable
obligations of the Successor Agency. Successor Agency staff continues to believe that
approval of the attached Third Amendment (2016) to the Stadium Interim Management
Agreement is critical to ensuring the Successor Agency can meet its legal obligations
under the Stadium Operations Contracts to operate, manage and maintain the Stadium
in first class condition and to ensure that the "Lake Elsinore Storm" can continue to play
its home baseball games at the Stadium. Failure to meet those obligations exposes the
Successor Agency to the possibility of litigation.
Moreover, the Successor Agency lacks the resources both in staffing and expertise to
otherwise comply with those obligations. Contracting with the Storm to perform the
Agency's obligations provides for the efficient and cost effective management,
maintenance and operation of the Stadium which is in the best interest of the taxing
entities.
DOF has questioned the necessity of certain capital expenditures. But DOF has
fundamentally failed to recognize that certain capital facilities and equipment at the
Stadium have simply worn out or are in a condition of disrepair. The Stadium is 22
years old, and despite the ongoing maintenance being performed in accordance with
applicable agreements, certain structural elements, capital components, operational
systems and equipment require replacement in order to maintain the Stadium in
accordance with the Stadium Operations Contracts and to protect the safety of the
players and the spectators consistent with applicable laws and standards.
Because these other repairs /replacements are necessary to continue to meet the
Successor Agency's obligation under the Stadium Operations Contracts, Successor
Agency staff believe that the Third Amendment (2016) should, again, be approved by
the Oversight Board.
As noted in the prior staff report on the Third Amendment (2016), The Storm continues
to possess the experience, capabilities and qualifications to best carry out these
Reconsideration of Third Amendment To Stadium Interim Management Agreement
December 15, 2015
Page 4
obligations. The terms of the Interim Management Agreement and Third Amendment
(2016) are discussed below.
Interim Management Agreement - The Interim Stadium Management Agreement as
amended by the proposed Third Amendment (2016) incorporates the obligations under
the Stadium Operations Contracts and provides for a Capital Improvement Schedule.
During the 2016 term of the Third Amendment (2016), compensation to the Storm for
the performance of the maintenance, management and operations services shall be as
follows:
(a) Assignment of GRCS Concession Fee. Successor
Agency assigns Successor Agency's right to payment of the GRCS Concession Fee
under the Concession Agreement to the Storm during the 2016 term, estimated at
$34,000 annually; and
(b) Waiver of License Fee. Successor Agency waives
Successor Agency's right to payment of the License Fee in the amount of $497,297
under the License Agreement during 2016 as an offset against the payments due by the
Successor Agency to the Storm; and
(c) Payment of Maintenance Fee. Successor Agency shall
pay the Annual Maintenance Fee in the amount of $232,159 under the Stadium Field
And Maintenance Agreement during 2016; and
(d) Payment of Additional Interim Management Fee.
Successor Agency shall pay to Storm $435,589, payable in equal monthly installments
( "Additional Interim Management Fee ").
The Maintenance Fee along with the Additional Interim Management Fee will result total
cash payment from the Successor Agency to the Storm of $667,752 as consideration
for services provided under the Stadium Operations Contracts and the Interim Stadium
Management Agreement as amended by the Third Amendment (2016), which
aggregate amount shall be payable in equal monthly installments of $56,646.
The Successor Agency continues to be responsible for all Capital Repairs and
alterations consistent with the Stadium Operations Contracts, which are expected to be
significant over the next few years. In connection with the preparation and negotiation of
the Third Amendment (2016), the City's Building Official surveyed the Stadium with
representatives of The Storm and agreed upon necessary Capital Repairs. Quotes or
estimates for the costs of such Capital Repairs were also obtained.
Capital repairs for 2016, as included in the Third Amendment (2016), reflect that the
Stadium is twenty two (22) years old and include, without limitation, replacement of
Stadium seating, improvements to comply with revisions to the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), retrofitting of plumbing, containment of run -off to comply with the
National Pollutant Discharge System imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency
Reconsideration of Third Amendment To Stadium Interim Management Agreement
December 15, 2015
Page 5
(EPA), improvements to and replacement of the heating, ventilation and air condition
(HVAC) system, repaving of the parking lots and replacement of old equipment.
The Third Amendment (2016) provides for proposed 2016 Capital Repairs of
approximately $3,286,912. The Third Amendment (2016) includes a Capital Repair
schedule, which will be updated annually or, if necessary, semi - annually in accordance
with future ROPS. Capital Repairs for the ROPS 15 -16B period (January 1, 2016
through June 30, 2016) are estimated to be $1,580,912, which includes (but is not
limited to) beginning the replacement of Stadium seating, improvements to comply with
revisions to the ADA, retrofitting of plumbing, containment of run -off to comply with the
National Pollutant Discharge System imposed by the EPA, improvements to and
replacement of the HVAC system, and replacement of old equipment.
Fiscal Impact
The ROPS 15 -16B allocates Real Property Tax Trust Funds to cover the Successor
Agency obligations for the period of January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016.
In addition, the attached Resolution authorizes the Executive Director to comply with
any findings of the Department of Finance in connection with its review of the ROPS 15-
16B or the attached Resolution, and make such changes as necessary so that the Third
Amendment (2016) can be implemented in accordance with the ROPS approved by
DOF.
The ROPS 16 -17A (for the second half of calendar year 2016) will be prepared to
similarly reflect these obligations which will be presented to the Oversight Board and
DOF and upon approval will provide funds for the second six months of the term of the
Third Amendment.

Mr. Jason Simpson, Director of Administrative Services
City of Lake Elsinore
130 South Main Street
Lake Elsinore, CA 92530
Dear Mr. Simpson:
Subject: Objection of Oversight Board Action
The City of Lake Elsinore Successor Agency (Agency) notified the California Department of
Finance (Finance) of its September 22, 2015 Oversight Board (OB) resolution on
October 2, 2015. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 34179 (h), Finance has
completed its review of the OB action.
Based on our review and application of the law, the Agency's OB Resolution No. OB- 2015 -004,
related to the approval of the Third Amendment to the Stadium Interim Management Agreement
between the Agency and the Lake Elsinore Storm, LP, is not approved.
MSC section 34181 (e) allows an oversight board to determine whether any contract, agreement, or
other arrangement between the dissolved redevelopment agency and private parties should be
terminated or renegotiated to reduce liabilities and increase net revenues to the taxing entities. The
oversight board is also allowed to approve any amendments to or early termination of those
agreements if it finds that amendments or early termination would be the best interests of the taxing
entities. This amendment, however, would increase the estimated Capital Repair Schedule costs
by $1,921,912 to a total of $3,286,912, and therefore would not be in the best interests of the taxing
entities. Although HSC 34171 (d) (1) (F) allows contracts or agreements necessary for the
maintenance of assets prior to disposition, the type of costs identified in relation to the increased
contract amount are capital repairs that go beyond the scope of maintaining the property, such as
purchase of replacement stadium seating and equipment (e.g., Forklift and Polaris Ranger), media
room upgrade, and Diamond Club wood and cabinet refinishing.
As authorized by HSC section 34179 (h), Finance is returning your OB action to the board for
reconsideration.
Mr. Jason Simpson
