2. MATERS FROM OFFICIALS
Commissioner Taylor requested an update on the memo they received regarding Lowe's
Hardware store possibly going in at the Temple City and Valley Boulevard location.
Frank Tripepi, Executive Director, stated that he requested Vente Real Estate to prepare a
proforma prior to placing this item on the agenda for the Commissioner's consideration.
Commissioner Taylor stated that he would like a confirmation of Lowe's Hardware
sincerity in moving in.
Mr. Tripepi responded that that is difficult to pin down as developers want to know if
they will receive help from the City in assembling the parcel and will the land be condemned,
etc. Mr. Tripepi stated that he wants to gather as much information as possible before placing
this on the agenda. Mr. Tripepi stated that along with the proforma, he is requesting a letter from
Lowe's real estate division indicating that they are interested in the property.
Commissioner Taylor asked about the status of the Toys R Us property.
Mr. Tripepi explained that they've met with the property owners who want to discuss-
what incentives the Commission would offer as part of the deal to bring in new businesses or
auto dealerships. Mr. Tripepi stated that he cannot answer their questions about sales tax without
knowing what the potential user will be. Mr. Tripepi stated that another offer the owners
discussed was for a Best Buy store. Mr. Tripepi stated that once the•owners come back with a
serious user, then negotiations can get underway for a Disposition Development Agreement.
Commissioner Taylor asked if Target had been contacted about putting up their red logo.
Mr. Tripepi responded that Target had been contacted. However, they never asked to put
up the red bullseye sign. They do have a blue and white bullseye on the side of the freeway. Mr.
Tripepi concluded that the City never denied them any signage.
Chairman Bruesch requested that the Commission receive updates on these various
projects.
