1 City of Westlake Village November 13, 2013 Agenda Item: Consent Calendar No. 3 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Raymond B. Taylor, City Manager AMENDMENT AND EXTENSION OF PARKING EASEMENT OVERVIEW This item involves the extension of an easement agreement for the reservation of ten (10) parking spaces in the City Hall parking lot for use by the property adjacent to City Hall to the west (across Oak Crest Drive). BACKGROUND On June 29, 1999, the City Council entered into an agreement with an adjacent property owner (then Corporate Spectrum, LLC) to reserve the use of ten (10) parking spaced in the City Hall parking lot for use by Corporate Spectrum's tenants or employees. In exchange for the use of these ten parking spaces, the property owner allows the City to utilize up to 200 of its spaces for special City events, and pays a token fee to the City. The current agreement expires on December 31, The Realty Associates Fund VII, LP has since purchased the property from Corporate Spectrum, and wishes to renew the agreement.

Therefore, staff and the Administrative Committee recommend the approval of the accompanying Amendment. FISCAL IMPACT Adoption of the attached amendment is not anticipated to significantly impact City revenues or expenditures.
