3. MATTERS FROM THE CHAIRMAN & COMMISSIONERS
4. MATTERS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & STAFF
A. Pham Parcel Purchase Amendment
Over the last several weeks, negotiations have continued in an attempt to finalize a plan to
complete Glendon Way redevelopment project including incorporating a nationally
recognized retailer at the Levitz site and related acquisition of the Kathy Pham property. It
was initially anticipated that obtaining a lease with a nationally recognized retailer at the
Levitz site was possible by mid December. While staff remains optimistic that this is a
possibility, it will not be finalized during December. Given this, Ms. Pham has requested
that the purchase and sale agreement be amended so that if escrow does not close by
February 17, 2009, she has the sole discretion to either cancel the purchase in its entirety
or to extend the escrow period.

Ms. Pham has also requested a few other minor changes to the contract including
language that property will be sold in "as-is" condition and that the period to perform all
environmental due diligence not be extended past February 9, 2009. All other
contingencies and requirements as stated in the original purchase and sale agreement will
remain in place.
Recommendation: That the Community Development Commission approve the revised
purchase and sale agreement.
5. ADJOURNMENT
The next Community Development Commission meeting will take place on January 13,
