Dear Ms.Brockway:
Per your request, please find enclosed a copy of the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement as recorded April 28, 1989 as document number 89-225548.
As this document is recorded with the County,we do not need a certified copy from
you.
Also, Doug La Belle has informed me that you have also inquired regarding a��
document to be signed by Robert Mayer regarding the Council/Agency actions of
November 7, 1988. We have previously returned an "Investment Letter" document
that deals with the subject of the City's pledge of a portion of the Transient f
Occupancy Tax. However, the ordinances themselves (Agency Ordinance #1 and +
City Ordinance #2974) do not require Robert Mayer's signature. Therefore, I
would appreciate your assistance in explaining what you need further from us and
we will be happy to comply.
Thank you for your assistance.

California Revenue and Taxation Code
Section 7280 et seg. , or successor
statute, kith such amounts determined on

(ii) "Property Tax Increment" shall mean the

Page 7 of 15
(c) Source of Payment. On or before the date
specified in Item 1.9 of the Schedule of Performance
(Attachment No. 4 to the Agreement) , the Agency shall adopt an
ordinance under California Revenue and Taxation Code
Section 7280.5 which ordinance authorizes the Agency to levy
and/or collect a sufficient amount of transient occupancy taxes
generated from the hotels to be developed on the Site to enable
the Agency to timely satisfy its payment obligations to the
Developer in accordance with this Bond. Said ordinance shall
provide that, in the event the Agency fails at any time to make
payments to the Developer in the full amounts required to be
paid hereunder, and such failure continues for a period of
thirty (30) days after written notice from Developer to the
Agency, such ordinance shall automatically become operative.
The Agency agrees to take all actions necessary and appropriate
to implement such ordinance in order to accomplish the parties'
mutual objective of enabling the Agency to timely meet its
financial obligations under this Bond. Until Developer has
been paid or reimbursed all amounts due from the Agency
hereunder (or, as to the payments to be made under this
Paragraph (A) only, any unpaid balance is forgiven and
discharged as provided herein) , the Agency shall not repeal,
nodify, or amend its transient occupancy tax ordinance in a
nanner that jeopardizes or impairs the Developer' s right to
receive payments in the amounts, at the times, and subject to
the conditions set forth herein. The Agency further agrees to
perform all obligations on its part to be performed (including
without limitation the obligations set forth in California
Health and Safety Code Section 33675) which are a prerequisite
to its right to collect and receive sufficient property tax
revenues to enable Agency to timely perform its obligations to
the Developer hereunder, and the Agency shall exercise
reasonable diligence to timely enforce its rights to obtain
such revenues for the benefit of the Developer.
The sole source of payment of the indebtedness referenced
in this paragraph (A) shall be (i) property tax revenues
allocated and paid to the Agency for the Site, (ii) transient
occupancy taxes paid (or eligible to be paid) to the Agency
with respect to the Site pursuant to the Ordinance referenced
above, and (iii ) any other revenues lawfully available to the
Agency which the Agency determines in its sole discretion are
available for payment hereunder. In this regard, throughout
the term of the Agency' s payment obligation as described in
this paragraph (A) , the Agency hereby pledges to the Developer
all property tax revenues from the Site and all transient
occupancy taxes paid (or eligible to be paid) to the Agency
pursuant to the above-referenced Ordinance, as required to
timely satisfy the Agency' s payment obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that the
obligation and pledge referenced in this paragraph (A) shall be
junior and subordinate to any bonded indebtedness of
Page 8 of 15
the Agency secured by property tax revenues, provided that the
Agency hereby covenants that, in establishing the principal
amount of any such indebtedness it will set aside and reserve
for payment to the Developer one hundred percent (100%) of that
portion of the tax increment attributable to the Site until the
entire indebtedness referenced in this paragraph (A) is paid or
the unpaid balance is forgiven and discharged as provided
herein. The indebtedness referenced in this paragraph (A)
shall not be an obligation or liability of the City.
(d) Allocation of Payments. For purposes of
this Agreement, the installment payments required to be made by
this Agency pursuant to this paragraph (A) shall be allocated
as follows:
(i) The first installment payments made by
the Agency to the Developer pursuant to
this paragraph (A) shall be allocated to
repayment of a loan from the Developer to
the Agency for the Developer' s cost of
planning, designing, engineering,
construction, inspecting, and supervising
the installation of those public
improvements which are the Developer' s
responsibility under the Scope of
Development (Attachment No. 3 to the
Agreement) for which the Developer is not
to be reiabursed pursuant to paragraph B
of this Bcnd, including interest on
amounts expended by the Developer for
this purpcse at the rate of seven percent
(7%) per annum from the date costs are
incurred until repaid in full. After the
loan referenced in the preceding sentence
has been paid in full, and after the
close of escrow of each Separate
Development Parcel in the Residential
Portion, the installment payments
received with respect to each such
Separate Development Parcel shall be
allocated first to repayment of a loan
from the Developer to the Agency in the
amount of Three Dollars and Seventy Cents
($3 .70) per square foot for each square
foot of land area within each said Parcel
(excluding dedicated streets and public
rights-of-way) , including interest
thereon at the rate of seven percent (7%)
per annum from the close of escrow until
principal and interest are paid in full.
Page 9 of 15
(ii ) The balance of the installment payments
shall be deemed to be allocated to a
portion of the Developer' s rental
obligations for the Separate Development
Parcels in the Commercial Portion of the
Site; Developer' s costs for demolishing
and clearing existing improvements on the
Site, and extraordinary costs to be
incurred by the Developer for site
preparation work due to factors such as
the high water table, the load bearing
capacity of the soil, the need for extra
drainage improvements due to the low
elevation of the Site, and the high
corrosivity of the soils.
(e) Payee in Event of Assignment. This Bond is
non-negotiable. In the event the Developer hereafter assigns
its interest in any of the Separate Development Parcels in the
Site in accordance with the Agreement, the payments required to
be made by the Agency with respect to such Separate Development

STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
A component of the Disposition and Development Agreement between the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Huntington Beach and Robert L. Mayer, as Trustee of the Robert L.
Mayer Trust dated 1982, as amended, (the "DDA") includes a loan from the developer to
the Agency for costs to be incurred by the Agency, including relocation and certain street
improvement costs. As part of the DDA, this debt of the Agency is to be repaid in part by
receipt of payments of transient occupancy tax in the amount of six percent (6%) of the
transient occupancy tax generated from the hotels approved as part of the project. You
have before you ordinances for the City and the Agency which provide for the transfer of
occupancy tax from the City to the Agency in order to satisfy the Agency's debt
obligations under the DDA. You also have before you a resolution approving the debt
under the DDA as a bond of the Agency under Health and Safety Code Section 33640 et
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the two transfer of occupancy tax ordinances, City Ordinance ? 7 and
Agency Ordinance 2 and Agency Resolution / approving the bond
for the Agency debt obligation to the developer.
ANALYSIS:
California Tax and Revenue Code Sections 7280 and 7280.5 provide for the ability of the
City to transfer a percent of its transient occupancy tax collection to its Redevelopment
Agency for purposes of effectuating a proposed redevelopment plan where those monies
are used to pay a debt obligation of the Agency that has been incurred in the form of a
bond. Therefore, in order to satisfy the conditions of the DDA, which was previously
approved on August 15, 1988, it is necessary for the City and the Agency to approve their
respective ordinances regarding the transfer of hotel tax and for the Agency to adopt its
resolutions making the debt under the DDA constitute the bond.
F_ f
PIO 4/84
FUNDING SOURC
There is no out-of-pocket cost to the Agency or the City in approving these actions. The
initial money will be provided by the developer which creates the debt, and therefore, the
bond. Ultimately, this bond will be repaid from both the hotel transient occupancy tax
collections that these documents provide for, as well as a percent of the tax increment
for the project area.
ATTACHMENTS:
1) City Ordinance amending its transient occupancy tax.
2) Agency Ordinance levying a transient occupancy tax.
3) Agency Resolution issuing and selling bonds
