using the JDEDZ Transportation Fee which will be collected from "non -Costco" <br />properties in the JDEDZ Project area as each develops, and with 40 percent of the city <br />sales tax revenue generated by the new Pleasanton Costco store. Since it is unknown <br />when "non -Costco" properties will develop and pay the JDEDZ Transportation Fee, the <br />following calculation is based only on the city sales tax revenue generated from the <br />Pleasanton Costco. According to the City consultants, Management Partners and HdL <br />Companies, the anticipated city sales tax revenue from the Pleasanton Costco store will <br />be between $1.8 and $2.1 million in 2024. (Up from the $1 to $1.3 million estimated in <br />2018). Using 40 percent of the anticipated city sales tax revenue, generated by Costco, <br />or $0.72 to $0.84 million, the loan payback period will be between 13 and 15 years. If <br />JDEDZ Transportation Fees are collected before the loan is paid in full the fees will <br />shorten the payback period. If JDEDZ Transportation Fees are collected after the loan is <br />paid in full, the fees will go to the City's General Fund to offset the sales tax payments <br />to the loan. <br />Conclusion <br />The JDEDZ will revitalize the approximately 40 acres of underutilized land fronting <br />Johnson Drive near 1-680 and Stoneridge Drive as envisioned since 2014. The JDEDZ <br />requires public street improvements to reduce the impact of traffic from the new land <br />uses. While an agreement was reached with Costco to construct the needed <br />improvements in 2018, the estimated cost of constructing those improvements has <br />increased significantly in the four-plus years since the Agreement was executed. <br />Amendment One is proposed to modify the Cost Overrun provisions of the Agreement <br />so that instead of being required to make direct reimbursement within 60 -days of <br />receiving the final Cost Certification, a portion of the Cost Overruns will be included in <br />the loan amount. Based on the Final Cost Estimate the amount of the Cost Overruns to <br />be reimbursed within 60 -days is consistent with City CIP budgeting to date, and due to <br />increased city sales tax revenue projections compared to 2018 the anticipated loan <br />payback period remains similar to the period anticipated in 2018. <br />Finally, the increased cost estimate allows the City Council to terminate the Agreement. <br />Termination of the Agreement requires the City to reimburse Costco for half of the <br />design costs incurred by Costco on the JDEDZ Project through the date of termination. <br />As of April 28, 2022, according to the Cumming Group's most recent expenditure report, <br />Costco has expended $3,248,202 toward the design of the JDEDZ Project. If City <br />Council chooses to terminate the Agreement the City will be required to reimburse <br />Costco approximately $1.,63 million. <br />Page 10 of 11 <br />
