In addition, Mr. Steve Stern of O'Melveny & Myers has also been involved in the preparation of the agreement between the City and the sellers of Meadowlark Golf Course. In talking with Steve Stern this afternoon, he advised me that copies of the escrow instructions will be delivered to my office tomorrow (Friday). 1 shall send these to the members of the City Council along with some other material in the normal Friday CA tomorrow afternoon so that you will have the opportunity to review all of the materials over this coming weekend. As I have explained to you previously, the ultimate consummation of these transactions will be dependent on a favorable IRS ruling and the completion of the appraisal which the County is requiring. I want to express my appreciation to Councilman Duke in particular, to the Mayor and the members of the City Council for your guidance and support during these drawn out negotiations. Hopefullyj all of the conditions of the escrow can be met during these coming weeks so that all of the agreements can be ultimately approved. Respectfully submitted, David D. Rowlands City Administrator DDR: eh i CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH INTER -DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION HUNTINGTON BEACH To: ROBERT FRANZ, Director of Administrative Services From: GAIL HUTTON, City Attorney Date: October 20, 1994 Subject: OPINION REGARDING EARLY PAYOFF OF MEADOWLARK COUNTRY CLUB ACQUISITION AGREEMENT RLS #94-712 QUESTION: What is the earliest date the city has a right to pay off the note relating to the Meadowlark Golf Course acquisition. ANSWER: November of 1994, if the original closing date on the purchase was November 1974. ANALYSIS: The Meadowlark Country Club Acquisition Agreement provides at page 13, Section 14, as follows: The City shall have no right to prepay principal or interest prior to the 20th anniversary date of the Closing. On or after such 20th anniversary date, any outstanding balance of principal, interest or both may be prepaid by the City without penalty at any time and in any amount. (Emphasis added.) Accordingly, if the "date of the closing" was in November 1974, then "on or after the 20th anniversary ..." (or November 1994), "any outstanding balance may be prepaid . . . without penalty at any time." CONCLUSION: Assuming a date of closing in November 1974, the City may pay off the note "on or after" November 1994. 4,L'r- 41e/ _ GAIL HUTTON City Attorney C' FOR COUNC'I'i ACTION ISICILAPPROVEDCOUNCIL I -A—, 19 l 'O Date: November 21, 1994 , TIMWORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS SUBMITTED BY: MICHAEL T. UBERUAGA, City Admini PREPARED BY: ROBERT J. FRANZ, Deputy City Administrator SUBJECT: EARLY PAYMENT OF MEADOWLARK GOLF COURSE OTE Statement of Issue, Funding Source, Recommended Action, Alternative Action, Analysis, Environmental Status, Attachment(s) Statement of Issue: The City currently owes $1,583,000 on a note payable to a private party for the acquisition of Meadowlark Golf Course. There is an option to prepay the entire amount. Recommended Action: Approve the option for early payment of the Meadowlark Golf Course Note Payable. Analysis: Meadowlark Golf Course was acquired in 1974 as part of an agreement with a private partnership. The original note amount was $2,228,000 and the current amount owed by the City on the note is $1,583,000 and will vary slightly depending on the date of the repayment. The note bears interest at 7%. The agreement did not allow for a prepayment until November, 1994. The note would be paid off by 2009 if it is not prepaid.. At present, the Meadowlark Golf Course Fund has a cash balance of approximately $2,083,000. Staff is recommending that the note be prepaid entirely for the following reasons: ® Would allow approximately $500,000 of excess funds in the Meadowlark Golf Course Fund to be used for other purposes. ® Annual lease payments from American Golf Corporation (which leases the facility from the City) of an estimated $300,000 would go into the General Fund because the note would be paid off. (The adopted budget already assumes this payoff and transfer of $300,000 to the General Fund in 1994/95.) ® Annual debt service payments on the note of $150,000 would terminate. The September, 1994 interest rate on funds earned by the County Investment Pool was 6.74%, providing another advantage for the City to pay off the note paying 7%. Funding Source: Meadowlark Golf Course Fund. Alternative Action(s): Do not pay off the loan, in which case excess funds could not be transferred to the General Fund and alternative budgetary decisions would need to be made. 0005946.01 11 /10/94 3:11 P M 2 i 3 4� 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13! 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 261 27 28 2y 30 C Iil` 9/2 6/7 4 !L CC P Y AGREEMENT JOHN'. ./\6l#ty „fl4il ll THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into this 21st day of October ► 1974, by and between the CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as "CITY," and the COUNTCOUNTY OF ORANGE, o a. h of � c Californiaft-er Y 1 �• •.� ... :.iVi.}:s.Os� vi. .iic?

Such sums shall be so transferred out of the - Meadowlark Fund and not out of any other fund, account 15. or moneys of the City. Money set aside and placed in said P & I Account shall be expended only for the pay- ment of the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon, includ- ing accrued interest on any installment of principal which is prepaid as provided in Section 14, and shall not be used for any other purpose whatever except that any such. money so set aside and placed in said account which at any time may be in excess of the amount which at that time is required by the terms of this Section to be in said account in cash may (i) be temporarily invested in any authorized securities eligible for investment by public agencies in the State of California, and (ii) in the event that the City should operate the Golf Course, used for the reasonable main- tenance and operation thereof. After all of the Unpaid Bal- ance and interest thereon has been paid any money remain- ing in said account shall be transferred to the Meadowlark Fund. Section 19. Warranty. The City shall preserve and protect the security of this Agreement and the rights of the Sellers and their successors or assigns, and warrant and defend these rights against all claims and demands of all persons. Section 20. Covenants of the City. So long as the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon is unpaid or so long as provision for the full payment and discharge thereof through the setting apart in the P & I Account of money sufficient for that purpose has not been - made, the City makes the following covenants with the Sellers, lb. their successors or assigns (to be performed by the City or its proper officers, agents or employees) which are necessary, convenient and desirable to secure the pay- ment of the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon; provided, however, that said covenants do not require the City to expend any funds other than revenues received or receiv- able from the -Golf Course; and provided further, however, that all said covenants shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon full payment of or due provision for the payment of the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon. A. Punctual Payment. The City covenants that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid said installments of the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon and that the payments into the P & I Account will be made, all in strict conformity with the terms of this Agreement, and that it will faithfully observe and perform all of the conditions, covenants and requirements of this Agreement and all agreements supplemental thereto, and that time of such payment and performance is of the essence of the City's contract with the Sellers. B. Operate Golf Course in Efficient and Economical Manner. The City covenants and agrees to provide for the operation,of the Golf Course in an effi- cient and economical manner and to operate and provide for the maintenance and operation of the Golf Course in good repair and working order. - 17. In the event that the City fails to make pay- ment of the amounts at the times and in the manner as pro- vided in this Agreement, the Sellers, upon 30 days notice to the City, shall have the right to take such action with, respect to the operation of the Golf Course, which in the Sellers' opinion, and consistent with applicable law, will result in providing such funds to make the payments under this Agreement. Such action may include, but shall not be limited to, a substitution of operators for the Golf Course, which may be the Sellers or a designee of the Sellers. C. Against Sale, etc. The City covenants that the Golf Course shall not be mortgaged or otherwise en- cumbered, sold, leased, pledged, any charge placed thereon, or disposed of in part or in whole unless such sale or other disposition be so arranged as to provide for a con- tinuance,of payments into the Meadowlark Fund sufficient in amount to permit payment therefrom of the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon and that the Golf Course and the revenues therefrom shall not be mortgaged, encumbered, sold, leased, pledged, any charge placed thereon, or disposed of or used except as authorized by the terms of this Agreement. The City further covenants that it will not enter into any agreement which impairs the operation of the Golf Course or any part of it neces- sary to secure adequate revenues to pay the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon or which would otherwise impair the right of the Sellers with respect to the reve- nues or operation of the Golf Course. If any part of the Golf Course (herein defined to constitute any individual sale for a consideration in excess of $1,000, or any sale which would result in aggregate. sales in any one calendar year in excess of $5,000) is sold, the pay- ment therefor shall be placed in the P & I Account and shall be applied to payment of the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon. The City covenants that any amounts received as awards as a result of the taking of all or any part of the Golf Course by the lawful exercise of eminent domain, if and to the extent that such right.can be exercised against such property of the City, shall be placed in the P & I Account and shall be applied to payment of the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon; pro- vided, however, that if the entire Golf Course is so taken, and the proceeds available therefrom are insuf- ficient to.pay in full the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon, then in such event there shall be no further liability on the part of the City to make up such de- ficiency, and upon payment by the City of the proceeds available, this Agreement shall terminate. D. Insurance. The City covenants that it shall at all times maintain or cause to be maintained with responsible insurers all such insurance on the Golf Course as is customarily maintained with respect to works and properties of like character against accident to, loss of or damage to such works or prop- erties. Such insurance may be included as part of the City's comprehensive insurance. If any useful part of the Golf Course shall be damaged or destroyed such - part shall be restored. to use. The money collected 19. from insurance against accident to or destruction of the Golf Course shall be used for repairing or re- building the damaged or destroyed system and to the extent not so applied shall be paid into the P & I Account, to be applied to the payment of t'he Unpaid Bal- ance and interest thereon. The City shall also main- tain or cause to be maintained with responsible in- surers workmen's compensation insurance and insurance against public liability and property damage to the ex- tent reasonably necessary to protect the City and the Sellers.

The City covenants that it will cause the books and accounts of the Golf Course to be audited annually by an independent certified public accountant or firm of certified public accountants and will fur- nish upon request a copy thereof to the Sellers. F. Rates and Charges. The City covenants that it shall prescribe, revise and collect charges - for the services from the Golf Course which (after 20. making allowances for contingencies and error in the estimates) shall be at least sufficient to pay the following amounts in the order set forth: (1) All payments required to be made into the P & I Account to pay the Unpaid Balance and interest thereon as the same becomes due; and (2) All payments required to meet any other obligations of the City which are charges, liens, encumbrances upon or payable from the gross reve- nues of the Golf Course. H. No Priority for Additional Debt. The City covenants that no additional indebtedness, contract or other obligation payable out of the gross revenues of the Golf Course shall be created or incurred having any pri- ority in payment of principal and interest out of the gross revenues of the Golf Course over or with the payments re- quired by this Agreement. Section 21. Investment of Funds. Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any funds or accounts created pursuant to this Agreement which are herein authorized to be in- vested shall be deemed at all times to be a part of such funds or accounts and the interest accruing there- under and any profit realized from the investment shall be credited to such funds or accounts and any loss re- sulting from such investment shall be charged to such 21. funds or accounts. The City shall sell at the best price obtainable or present for redemption any obliga- tions so purchased whenever.it shall be necessary to do so in order to provide moneys to meet any payment or transfer from such funds or accounts.

Section 23. Enforcement.

Said contract is made under and is to be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. No remedy conferred upon the Sellers is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each such remedy is cumulative and in addition to every other remedy and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy conferred by any law of the State of California.

No delay or omission of the Sellers to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed as a waiver of any such default or acquiescence therein. Every substantive right and every remedy conferred upon the Sellers may be enforced and exercised as often as may be deemed expedient., Section 24. Future Contracts. Nothing herein contained shall be.deemed to restrict or prohibit the City from making contracts or creating bonded or other indebtedness payable from the 23. general fund of the City or from taxes from any source other than the revenues of the Golf Course herein pledged.

Following much discussion, Mr. McClish moved the Recreation and Parks Commission recommend to the City Administrator and City Council that Meadowlark Golf Course be acquired by the city to prevent further loss of open green space in Huntington Beach, but to advise that this recommendation is not meant as a substitute for acquisition of Phase III, Huntington Central Park. NW:ac cc: Recreation & Parks Commission 40 Respectfully submitted, 9 orm !or thy, Sec/eetary Huntington Beach Recreation and Parks Commission FRI 0 MEADOWLARK GOLF COURSE PROJECT June 1, 1973 Part I Alternative Methods of Preserving Meadowlark Golf Course 1. City Regulation - Police Power - The City may zone the property ROS (Recreation Open Space), thereby limiting the use of the property to its present use or to another use permitted in this zone. This may be done based upon the fact that the property has been master plannedgolf course since August 5, 1963. It is also shown on the Orange County Open Space and Conservation Plan. Another reason for this may be based upon the fact the owners are not being deprived of using the land in such a way as to derive a reasonable profit. It is true that the land may have a higher value as R1, but so does R2 property have a higher value than R1 and R3 over R2, etc. This is a matter which must be reconciled by the Planning Commission and City Council when developing a master plan to provide for orderly growth and a well balanced community. 2. Private - Seek outside operator to purchase. This may be accomplished in conjunction with alternative No. 1, zoning the property ROS. The City has been approached by three different organizations interested in acquir- ing this property as a golf course. They consider that a financially feasible investment figure is $2,000,000. 3. Combined Public -Private - Open Space - Recreational Easement A private operator may purchase the golf course at top dollar value based upon the ultimate use being a golf course. The City, perhaps with County assistance, could make up the difference in price between its value as a golf course and residential development by purchasing an open space -recreational easement with other deed restrictions as deemed necessary. (It may be that ownership of the golf course would eventually revert to the City with the operation of the golf course remaining under private control.) r This method is being used in other areas of the country to preserve open space. The difficulty is in accepting that you have purchased an intangible item and that a private operator is able to make a profit on the land. 4. Public - a. General Obligation Bond Approval requires 2/3 vote of those voting at an election called for the purpose of authorizing such bonds. The City's borrowing capacity is well below the maximum allowed. b. Revenue Bond Approval requires a simple majority of votes at a special election. Bonds must be secured solely by the revenue of the facility or associated facilities financed by their issuance. C. Non -Profit Corporation No election is required. The facility must not be operated so as to profit any individual or company. The present Public Facilities Corporation could be used for this purpose. d. Joint Powers Agreement With Orange County This is possible per the study which was to have been conducted by the City and County to acquire Meadowlark Airport, Meadowlark Golf Course, and miscellaneous parcels in the area. The property would be redesigned to have the golf course serve as a greenbelt approach zone for the airport. Of these possibilities, the best method of financing appears to be non-profit corporation for the following reasons: 1) It would be difficult to obtain a 2/3 vote needed for approval of general obligation bonds. 2) In order to make revenue bonds salable, the principle amount .of the -bond .should be sufficiently small so that annual principle and interest payment is less than the revenues available for bond service. Revenue bonds secured by revenues of a golf course are not generally marketable because it is difficult to predict that sufficient revenue will be generated. -2- 3) The possibility of forming a joint powers agreement with Orange County to develop a golf course -airport complex was previously rejected by the City Council because of the undesirable aspects of an airport. 4) Non-profit corporation will allow the City to move quicker than the other alternatives in that no election is required. Also, bonds may be serviced from the Public Facilities Fund which already has a predictable means of deriving revenue, i.e., utility tax. Also, the City may set aside a portion of revenue sharing monies allocated to the City as well as seek County assistance through their revenue sharing monies which have been set aside for preserving parks, recreation and open space. Part II Other Considerations 1. Any development would require approval of an Environmental Impact Report. This report would have to address itself to the following: a. Removal of 96.5 acres of open space and recreational facility. b. Potential destruction of a significant archaeological site as identified by Archaeological Research, Inc. of Costa Mesa. C. The ability of schools to accommodate the increase in the number of students generated from a residential development. d. The additional traffic, noise and public service requirements generated from a residential development. e. Soil conditions are such that special consideration must be given to this area. f. Possible destruction of the natural features, i.e., lakes, topography, tree stands, etc. 2. The R1 zone was applied in 1965 as an interim measure because it was the lowest zone classification permitting a golf course. Alternative uses have never been considered. It may well be that if this land is not suited to golf course use it should definitely be considered for larger lot zoning due to natural features such as topography, soil, lakes, tree stand, and other natural features. -3- V 0 Part III Significant Factors Concerning The Escrow 1. The escrow covers 108 acres of land. The golf course is only 96.5 acres, thus 11.5 acres are either vacant or devoted to another use. 2. Total consideration is $4,335,000, subject to several contingencies. 3. R1 roper.ty is valued at $40,000/acre; R2 property is valued at ,000/acre. 4. 105 acres zoned R1 X $40,000 = $4,200,000 3+ acres zoned R2 X $45,000 = $135,000. S. Areas which are presently used for right of way easements or which are to be dedicated are to be subtracted from the area to be purchased. This could amount to approximately 25% of total land area or $1,083,750, leaving a net value of - $3,251,250. 6. Taking the 96.5 acre golf course and subtracting the 25% (24.1 acres) leaves 72.4 acres valued at $40,000 = $2,896,000. The remaining 11.5 acres could be sold by the City for development. It is noted that the probability of the City getting top dollar ($40,000 and $45,000/acre) is unlikely. The reason being that the large area of the golf course provided the incentive for the higher price. 7. The owners propose to retain the clubhouse and the 3 acres of land upon which it is located. It is our opinion that this cannot be done as the clubhouse is an integral part of the golf course and, as such, must go if the.golf course goes. This point may be of some value when negotiating with the landowners. 8. The $2.9 million value of the golf course should be further reduced when the preservation of the natural resources, i.e., trees, bluff, lake, soil, etc. and the archaeological site are brought out and the potential yield of lots per acre is reduced. In conclusion, it is the position of the staff that all proposals for the use of this land for any purpose other than a golf course should be rejected and the City should negotiate based upon the golf course being the highest and best use. -4- Amount Required $ 2,000,000 5% 6% 7% $ 3,000,000 5% 6% 7% $ 4,000,000 5% 6% 7% Number of Years Equivalent Property Tax Rate 20 Years 25 Years 30 Years 20 Years 2'5 Years 30 Years Based in Est, Current $449,000,000 A.V. 160,480 141,900 130,100 .03574 .03160 174,360- 156,460 145,300 .03883 .03485 188,780 171,620 161,180 .04204 .03822 240,720 212,850 195,150 .05361 .04741 261,540 234,690 217,950 :05825. .05227 283,170 257,430 24.1,770 .06307 .05733 320,960 283,800 260,200 .07148 .06321 348,720 312,920 290,600 .07767 .06969 377,560 343,240 322,360 .o84o9 .07645 Cost to Taxpayer Per Year with $40,000 Home Assessed @ $10,000 At 6% 20 Years 25 Years 30 Years $ 2,000,000 3.88 3.49 3.24 $ 3,000,000 5.83 5.23 4.85 $ 4,000,000 7.77 6.97 6.47 At 7% ' 20 Years 25 Years 4.20 3.82 6.31 5.13 8.41 7.65 .02897 .03236 .03590 .04346 .o4854 .05385 .05975 .06472 .07179 30 Years 3.59 5.39 7.18 J< •� M W nnn� n Fg) ULJu �L� 11190"W VldJ/L: 8 !W{uftu6 and wf:l dva commit Tot The Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Subjects Preservation of Meadowlark Golf Course The HOME Council of Huntington Beach was asked to coordinate efforts on behalf of citizens of Huntington Beach to preserve the open -space recreational area commonly known as Meadowlark Golf Course. As part of this effort, the HOME Council aided several promenent organizations in circulating petitions to help determine the preference of the citizens of the city regarding the retention of this valuable asset in its present state. In less than two weeks, over 5000 signatures of local residents have been gathered in support of retaining the Meadowlark Golf Course as recreational open space. Following are some of the more promement reasons for this positions 1. Preservation of a recreational open space 2. Preservation of a refuge for birds and small animals 3. Preservation of a mature, green area 4. Can be operated as a self-supporting facility 5. Master -planned as open space by City of Huntington Beach as well as County of Orange 6. Facility currently provides needed banquet and res- taurant space 7. Retention as open space will also avoid the further increase in housing density and its inherent problems, namely: a. further burdening of school system b. increase in traffic and attendant pollution c. detremental increased demands on public utilities and city services, such as fire, police, street maintenence, etc. (2) In addition, Public Resources Government Code Section 21000(c) states: The Legislature finds and declares that it is necessary to provide a high quality environment that at all times is healthful and pleasing to the senses and the Intellect of man. The petitions submitted prove that the Meadowlark Golf Course is pleasing to the visual senses of a large number'of citizens of Huntington Beach. The State Subdivision Map Act, Business and Professions Code Section 11526(c) states that no city or county shall approve a tentative or final subdivision map unless the governing body shall find that the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general or specific plans of the city or county. Therefore, as the area has been designated as a recreational open space on the city's Plaster Plan, no subdivision can be approved. Government Code Section 65860 states that the county and city ordinance shall be consistent with the General Plan by July 1, 1973. Therefore it seems incumbent upon the City Council and the Planning Commission of Huntington Beach to rezone the property to recreational open space per the ordin- ance adopted on June 4, 1973• Section (b) of this ordinance provides that any resident may bring action in Superior Court to enforce compliance. The HOME Council therefore recommends that the City Council of Huntington Beach retain and preserve the Meadow- lark Golf Course in its present recreational open space state through acquisition, if necessary, or through rezoning action.

Very truly yours, Lucille Blantz;-"� Secretary L `% STATU�L "IT In the planning for City development, a high priority is being placed on the necessity for allowing for sufficient open space and the availability of recreational facilities by design or existing, to be a part of residential development long-range planning of any major city. Such is the case with the Meadowlark Residential Home Development and adjoining Home Residential Development adjacent to the existing Meadowlark Golf Course. These residential home developments illus- trate.the in-depth planning by the Planning Commission of the City. of Huntington Beach for the northwest sector of the City. This type of planning and subsequent development in the area as mentioned, represents an excellent example of allowing for open space considerations and at the same time, the availability of recreational facilities to the citizens of this city and adjoining communities, all situated within a complex of single and multiple residential units, without interference. This committee of home owners and citizens of the City of Huntington Beach are desirous of retaining the balance between "open space" and "recreational facilities" to that of residential development.__ There- fore, the committee recommends to the'Planning Commission and the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach, the Meadowlark Golf Course be purchased by the City of Huntington Beach and the property be retained by the city for purposes of recreation as an 18-hole golf course. Submitted herewith for your consideration is the following analysis as considered by this committee in support of golf course acquisition by the City of Huntington Beach: ANALYSIS Recommendation for City Purchase of Meadowlark Golf Course Advantage of Purchase 1.

Cooley 67 be found in context (i.e. , in the ground) and their association with many other types of archaeological materials must be determined. To date all of the cogged stones found at Ora-83 Have been out of context and these are incapable of providing the type of information required. This large site deserves special attention. Ora-86: Believed to be an extension of Ora-83 , this site is destroyed at this time. Ora-368: Bisected by Warner, this site is located midway between Bolsa Chica and Graham. Surface indications are that this site is'of an older type than Ora-86 to the south (destroyed) and Ora-87 to the north. Ora -87: I cated under the current Meadowlark Golf Course fhe surface dimensions and depth of this site could not be delineated. The remains of this site apparently are effectively preserved by the golf course.
