To: Redevelopment Commission
From: David Relos, Economic Development Planner�Cl `
Subject: Resolution No. 3004
Accept 11 properties from the Redevelopment Authority
Date: January 24, 2012
There are currently twelve Housing Development Corporation (HDC) properties in the
Monroe Park area that staff has been working through the disposition process. These
properties have been titled in the name of the Redevelopment Authority (Authority), and
need to be transferred to the Commission for disposition purposes.
To accommodate purchase offers on three of these HDC properties, on Dec 21, 2011 the
Authority approved Resolution No. 175, authorizing the transfer of 628 Rush, 310 E. South,
and 602 Carroll Streets to the Commission, who in turn approved Resolution No. 2995 on
January 3, 2012, accepting the transfer of the most time sensitive property, 628 Rush St.
To complete the transfer of the other eleven HDC properties from the Authority to the
Commission, the Authority on January 16, 2012 approved Resolution No. 176.
Resolution No. 3004 approves the acceptance by the Commission of the remaining HDC
properties, and completes the transfer from the Authority to the Commission, thereby
allowing the eventual disposition of these properties.
Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 3004.

term of this Agreement. At its expense and upon the termination of this Agreement, the Provider
will surrender the Parking Lots to the Commission in good condition and repair, ordinary wear
and tear excepted. There is no responsibility for the Provider with regard to general
infrastructure replacement, but the Provider is responsible for the maintenance and cleanliness of
the Parking Lots.
3. The Commission shall not be liable for damages caused by hidden defects or
failure to keep the Parking Lots in good repair, and shall not be liable for any damage done by
water, snow or ice being upon sidewalks, nor for any damages arising from the negligence of any
owners or occupants of adjacent or contiguous property.
4. The Commission shall not be liable for any injury to the Provider or any other
person, occurring on or in front of the Parking Lots, irrespective of whether said injury is caused
by a defect in the Parking Lots or by reason of the Parking Lots becoming out of repair or arising
from any other cause whatsoever, and the Commission shall not be liable for damage to the
Provider's property or to the property of any other person which may be located in or upon said
premises and the Provider agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Commission from any and
all claims arising out of injuries to persons or property occurring on or about said premises.
5. The Provider will not allow the Parking Lots to be used for any purpose that will
increase the rate of insurance thereon, nor to be occupied in whole or in part by any other person,
and will not sublet the same or any part thereof, nor assign this Agreement or any part hereof
without, in each case the written consent of the Commission first had and obtained, and will not
permit any transfer, by operation of law, of any interest in the Parking Lots acquired through this
Agreement, and will not permit the Parking Lots to be used for any unlawful purpose, nor disturb

for possession of the Parking Lots, the Commission may receive and collect any rent due and the
payment of said rent shall not waive or affect said notice, said suit or said judgment.
12. If the Provider shall make any assignment for the benefit of creditors or if a
receiver is appointed for the Provider or its assets or of the Provider's interest under this
Agreement, and if the appointment of such a receiver is not vacated within five (5) days, or if a
voluntary or involuntary petition is filed by or against the Provider under the Bankruptcy Act, the
Commission may, upon giving the Provider ten (10) days notice of such election, either
terminate the Provider's right to the possession of the Parking Lots or terminate this Agreement
as in the case of a violation by the Provider of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement.
13. It is agreed by the parties hereto that in the event the Provider is declared
bankrupt or voluntarily offers to creditor's terms of composition or in case a receiver is
appointed to take charge of and conduct the affairs of the Provider, then the Commission shall
have the right of immediate possession of the Parking Lots.

hereto to terminate the Agreement by written notice at the end of such ninety (90) days, in which
case rent shall be paid at the agreed rate above provided up to the time of such fire, windstorm,
or other catastrophe, but in case such injuries are repaired and the Parking Lot rendered
tenantable within ninety (90) days, the right to terminate the Agreement for such cause shall not
exist, provided, that nothing herein contained shall relieve the Provider from liability for
damages where such damages or destruction shall be caused by the carelessness, negligence or
improper conduct of the Provider, its agents or servants.
15. It is expressly agreed that no waiver or apparent waiver, nor the failure of the
Commission to require strict performance of any condition, covenant or agreement shall estop
the Commission from enforcing such condition, covenant or agreement, nor shall any other
conditions, covenant or agreement at any time be implied.
16. At the termination of this Agreement, by lapse of time or otherwise, the Provider
will yield up immediate possession to the Commission, and failing to do so, will pay as
liquidated damages for each day such possession is withheld, a sum equal to five times the
commercially reasonable market per diem rental; but the provisions of this clause shall not be
held as a waiver by the Commission of any rights of re -entry as herein set forth; nor shall the
receipt of rent or any part hereof, or any other act in apparent affirmance of tenancy, operate as a
waiver of the right to forfeit this Agreement and the term hereby granted for the period still
unexpired, for any breach of any of the covenants herein.
17. It is also agreed that the Provider shall pay and discharge all reasonable costs,
attorney's fees and expenses that shall be made and incurred by the Commission in enforcing the
17
covenants and agreements of this Agreement, including the agreement to deliver possession for
any reason herein provided; and all the parties to this Agreement agree that the covenants and
