A lengthy discussion ensued on this agenda item.

 

Council Member Garrett Dennis, the measure’s sponsor, provided background information on need for a traffic signal at the site, particularly because of the growth in the area since 2009.

 

 Council Member John Crescimbeni raised a series of questions on the suitability of the City’s policy in using of letters of credit in construction agreements.  Assistant General Counsel Susan Grandin contended that the letters of credit was a standard procedure. 

 

Attorney Tom Ingraham, Akerman, LLP,  representing REDUS (Wells Fargo’s real estate arm) fielded questions.

 

John Pappas, Director, Public Works Department, fielded questions on the City’s policy on the feasibility of letters of credit in contract agreements.

 

Mr. Crescimbeni offered an amendment whose language would amend the provisions of the agreement regarding the letter of credit so that any draw down of the letter of credit by REDUS would have to be limited to the completion of a phase or component  of the project and not just for the purchase of materials but the construction or installation with materials.
