years. Note this calculation assumes city sales tax revenue generated by Costco <br /> remains at the city consultants anticipated in 2024 over the entire payback period. Also, <br /> if 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 payments on the loan <br /> made with sales tax revenue generated by the Pleasanton Costco. <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 2018 Agreement was executed. <br /> Amendment One is proposed to modify the Cost Overrun provisions of the 2018 <br /> Agreement so that instead of being required to make direct reimbursement of the Cost <br /> Overruns within 60 days of approving the final Cost Certification, a portion of the Cost <br /> Overruns will be included in the loan amount. Based on the Final Cost Estimate the <br /> amount of the Cost Overruns to be reimbursed within 60 days is consistent with City <br /> CIP budgeting to date, and due to increased city sales tax revenue projections <br /> compared to 2018 the anticipated loan payback period remains similar to the period <br /> anticipated in 2018. <br /> Finally, the increased cost estimate does allow the City Council to terminate the 2018 <br /> Agreement. Termination of the 2018 Agreement requires the City to reimburse Costco <br /> for half of the design costs incurred by Costco on the JDEDZ Project through the date of <br /> termination. As of April 28, 2022, according to the Cumming Group's most recent <br /> expenditure report, Costco has expended $3,248,202 toward the design of the JDEDZ <br /> Project. (Note the expenditure reports prepared by the Cumming Group only include <br /> direct payments made by Costco toward the design and implementation of the JDEDZ <br /> Project traffic mitigation measures, and no other Costco expenses, such as Costco staff <br /> time, legal costs, etc. are included in the reports.) If City Council chooses to terminate <br /> the 2018 Agreement the City will be required to reimburse Costco approximately <br /> $1.63 million. <br /> While termination is an available option, the recommendations in this agenda report <br /> assume City Council will choose to proceed with the implementation of the JDEDZ <br /> Project. Should City Council decide to terminate the 2018 Agreement due to the <br /> increased costs, Costco will prepare a final Cost Certification of all design and <br /> implementation expenses that are allowed by the 2018 Agreement and submit it to the <br /> City. Staff will review the final Cost Certification and present it to City Council at a future <br /> meeting, along with a recommended budget adjustment to fund the City's share of the <br /> expended costs. <br /> Page 11 of 12 <br />
