SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH COSTCO
WHOLESALE CORPORATION FOR REALIGNMENT OF CALLE JOAQUIN
SOUTH
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Approve a reimbursement agreement with Costco Wholesale Corporation for realignment of
Calle Joaquin south of Los Osos Valley Road and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement.
DISCUSSION
Project History
Costco Wholesale Corporation (Costco) has received all of its necessary City planning
entitlements and, upon payment of its building permit fee, may begin construction of a new
140,000 square foot warehouse store and service station off Los Osos Valley Road (LOVR), next
to Home Depot. The Final Environmental Impact Report for the Costco/Froom Ranch
Development (the Costco EIR) was certified by Council on November 4, 2003. Included in the
Costco EIR were traffic mitigation measures including Mitigation Measure TR/mm-2a, which
requires that Calle Joaquin-South be realigned with Calle-Joaquin-North to improve traffic flow
(the Calle Joaquin realignment). Because of permit delays by other agencies relating to the
possible presence of Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp on the property, the Council revised this
mitigation measure on November 16, 2004 in the Addendum to the Costco EIR to allow Costco
to complete the mitigation after the store opens
Why is a.Reimbursement Agreement needed for the Realignment of Calle Joaquin?
On October 7, 2003,.the Council established a "sub-area" fee to assist in funding improvements
to the LOVR/US 101 Interchange (the LOUR sub-area fee program). The LOVR sub-area fee
program allows the City to pass-on appropriate costs for interchange improvements to
development projects located near the interchange through a fair share contribution program.
The program assumes the successful receipt of grants for about half of the total project cost when
all improvements are constructed. The remainder of the costs will be covered by the sub-area
fees and a pro rata share of city-wide transportation impact fees (TIF).
Based on the LOVR sub-area fee program, it was determined that Costco's sub-area fee is
$910,000. As required by the Costco EIR, Costco must construct the Calle Joaquin realignment
to mitigate various project impacts; simply paying the sub-area fee alone will not satisfy the EIR

requirements. Because the Calle Joaquin realignment qualifies as part of the LOVR interchange
improvements, Costco's costs in excess of its sub-area fee are reimbursable by other properties in
the sub-area. A reimbursement agreement between Costco and the City is, therefore, necessary
to define costs eligible for reimbursement.
The Reimbursement Agreement
Attachment 1 is the proposed reimbursement agreement for the Calle Joaquin realignment. The
agreement covers costs incurred for acquiring right-of way, project design, obtaining permits,
construction and wetlands mitigations associated with the realignment.
It is based on the following four basic principles:
1. Costco is responsible for making and funding all Calle Joaquin realignment improvements,
including related costs for design, permitting and environment mitigation costs.
2. Costco is responsible for its "fair share" of these costs: $910,000.
3. However, since Costco is responsible for advancing all costs (estimated at about $3.1
million), it is eligible for reimbursement from future development for all costs reasonably
incurred by it in making these improvements in excess of its allocated share of costs.
4. Reimbursements will come solely from subsequent sub-area fee collections: there will be no
other source of repayment.
What costs are included in the reimbursement agreement?
1. Design and Permitting Costs
Section 1(a) of the agreement discusses the design and permitting costs incurred to date, as well
as future costs (which are capped and discussed below). The design and permitting costs include
all engineering and architectural fees; right-of-way acquisition support work;encroachment work
with Caltrans; and all environmental permitting (the permits and the costs incurred in obtaining
them). Eligible design and permitting costs incurred to-date of$1,050,090 are shown on Exhibit
B of the agreement. The estimated future design and permitting costs are shown on the same
exhibit and are capped at $185,875.
Before committing to the inclusion of these costs in the agreement, staff from several
departments thoroughly evaluated work scopes of contracts, actual invoices for expenses to date
and estimates for construction and future consulting work for validity and appropriateness. Even
so, the estimated final cost of the realignment project has risen from $1.8 million to $3.1 million,
driven mostly by costs relating to necessary land acquisitions and required permits (in particular
the Army Corps of Engineers).
2.Acquisition Costs
Land acquisition costs are included with the design and permitting costs but are discussed more
thoroughly in Section 1(b) of the agreement. The acquisition of the Hansen property for
necessary right-of-way has been appraised at a cost of $186,000, subject to adjustment by the
a-�

courts, which is outside the City's or Costco's control. The property necessary for the wetland
mitigation is being provided by the Madonna Family, in exchange for possible future sub-area fee
credit to be negotiated at a later date by the City and the Madonna Family. The agreement
acknowledges that all other necessary land costs can be accomplished through exchanges of land
and/or construction of replacement improvements.
3. Mitigation Monitoring
The Army Corps of Engineers has tentatively indicated to Natural Resources Manager that it will
allow the City to perform all mitigation monitoring of both the Calle Joaquin wetland and the
Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp (if necessary). If the Army Corps of Engineers requires outside
consultants to perform the work, those future costs would be reimbursable as described in
Section 1(c) of the agreement. If the City is allowed to monitor the Calle Joaquin wetland
mitigation, and if no mitigation work is required because of the Vernal Fairy Shrimp, $202,210
in additional future costs will be avoided. City staff will be able to accommodate the mitigation
monitoring within the Natural Resources program.
4. Construction Costs
Pursuant to Section 1(d), of the agreement, construction costs for the Calle Joaquin realignment,
mitigation wetland construction at Boysen Ranch and necessary utility work total $1,856,443.
This amount includes a contingency of 7% ($117,912.13) and an inflation factor of 3%
($54,071.13). The inflation factor will only be necessary if the work cannot be done this year and
instead occurs in 2006 (it is anticipated at this time that an Army Corps of Engineers permit will
issue for construction during the 2005 dry season).
How are future costs controlled?
There are two ways that the agreement controls costs.
1. Capping Costs. Future costs associated with the design and permitting process have been
limited in Section 1(a) of the agreement. For instance, reimbursement for the remaining legal
work necessary to obtain the Army Corps of Engineers permits cannot exceed the maximum
agreed upon amount.
2. Case-By-Case Change Order Approval by the City. The second way costs are controlled is
through the change order process. Section 2 of the Reimbursement Agreement defines the
change order procedure that will be followed. The procedure is consistent with existing City
practices and assures that the City will review all change orders. The City has the ability to
deny change order requests if they are not related to unforeseen conditions or City-initiated
changes. Change orders in excess of$100,000 or in excess of the agreed upon contingency,
require Council approval.
How will payments be made to Costco?
When other participating properties in the LOVR sub-area fee program develop, they will pay
their sub-area fees to the City upon issuance of a building permit. The City will reimburse
Costco only from fees collected (some properties may have credits associated with in-kind
improvements) within 30 days of receiving the sub-area fees. Disputes over reimbursable costs
Reimbursement Agreement with Costco for Realignment of Calle Joaquin Page 4
will be subject to resolution in the same manner that the City resolves claims for other
constructions projects. The process is described in Section 5 of the agreement. As set forth in
Section 6 of the agreement, Costco has the right to assign its reimbursement payments upon
written approval by the City.
Timing Considerations
Costco is contractually obligated to close escrow on the Madonna Family's Froom Ranch
property by February 25, 2005, but must first have a reimbursement agreement in place for the
Calle Joaquin realignment. Costco has entered into a construction contract with Ledcor to begin
construction of the warehouse store on March 1, 2005. Ledcor cannot hold its costs past this
date. Ledcor is also under contract to construct the offsite mitigation measures required by the
Costco EIR, including the Calle Joaquin realignment. To date, no Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp
have been discovered in the study area near the Calle Joaquin realignment. If all continues
favorably, an Army Corps of Engineers permit could be issued this spring, thereby allowing the
realignment work to be completed during the upcoming dry season. Work in the realignment
area must be completed by October 1 or be put off until the next dry period(Spring 2006).
CONCURRENCES
In establishing the costs eligible for reimbursement in the proposed agreement, many City staff
members reviewed and revised information provided by Costco. The Natural Resources
Manager and Public Works Department are in concurrence with the eligible costs and proposed
agreement. The proposed agreement has also been discussed with the Madonna Family (which
owns a majority of the developable property in the LOVR sub-area fee program) and they also
concur with the agreement as proposed.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no General Fund impact associated with the proposed agreement. However, because the
costs of realigning Calle Joaquin, summarized in Exhibit B of the agreement, are substantially
higher than were estimated in establishing the LOVR sub-area fee program ($3.1 million
compared with $1.8 million), staff will need to return to the Council with revisions to the LOVR
sub-area fee program and the TIF program to better reflect currently estimated costs. Staff has
already engaged in discussions with the major sub area fee property owner, the Madonna Family,
and they are prepared to work with the City in resolving the future funding challenges.
Following this Council action, staff will also begin notifying other property owners in the sub
area of the fee increases.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Revise the Agreement. Significant substantive changes are not recommended because the
proposed agreement has been negotiated and evaluated extensively by both parties.
However, refinements to the proposed agreement may be necessary as identified by Council
in its review. Council could direct staff to make those refinements and proceed with the
transactions.

2. Disapprove the Agreement. The Council could choose not to approve the proposed
agreement. Without clear ground rules in place for how it will be reimbursed for costs that
are significantly in excess of its allocated share, it is highly unlikely that Costco will go
forward with a store in San Luis Obispo.

REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
FOR REALIGNMENT OF CALLE JOAQUIN SOUTH
THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into this day of , 2005, by and among the CITY OF SAN
LUIS OBISPO, a charter city and municipal corporation of the State of California, herein
referred to as "City", COSTCO WHOLESALE CORPORATION, a Washington
Corporation, herein referred to as "Costco'.
A. Costco desires to construct a new retail building comprised of
approximately 140,000 square feet located on Parcel 2 of Parcel Map SLO-00-041,
commonly known as 1540 Froom Ranch Way, in the City of San Luis Obispo, County of
San Luis Obispo State of California (the "Costco Project"). The Costco Project and
proposed development by others at 1500 and 1521 Froom Ranch Way are referred to
herein as the "Shopping Center Project."
B. The City has undertaken, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act ("CEQA"), the required analysis of the environmental effects which would be caused
by the Shopping Center Project and has determined those mitigation measures which will
eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable level, those of the environmental impacts which
may be so mitigated, has adopted findings of overriding considerations for those of the
impacts that cannot be so mitigated, and has certified the Final Environmental Impact
Report (the "FEIR"), with those mitigation measures and findings of overriding
considerations, pursuant to City Resolution No. 9502 (2003 Series). Mitigation measure
TR/mm-2a has been modified by an Addendum to the FEIR, adopted by City Council
Minute Order of November 16, 2004.
C. The City has found in connection with its review and consideration of this
Agreement that no subsequent or supplemental Environmental Impact Report is
necessary or required under CEQA because the terms and conditions of this Agreement
are consistent with and within the scope of and contemplated by the FEIR and the
Addendum thereto as required for implementation of the mitigation measures thereunder.
D. Specifically with regard to Calle Joaquin South, the subject matter of this
Agreement, the FEIR concluded that the current configuration whereby Calle Joaquin
South and the Highway 101 southbound on-ramp share an intersection at Los Osos
Valley Road would result in that intersection operating at Level of Service ("LOS") E
during the PM peak and Saturday peak hours when traffic from the Costco Project was
added to the existing conditions and at LOS F when traffic from the combined Shopping
Center Project was added to existing conditions. The mitigation measure to resolve this
impact is to realign Calle Joaquin South to a position on Los Osos Valley Road opposite
the existing Calle Joaquin North (the "Calle Joaquin Realignment"), with a subsequent
traffic study of the actual traffic after Costco opens to be conducted when Parcels 1 and 3
are to be developed, which study is to determine if additional measures may be required.
For purposes of this Agreement, it is understood that the term "Calle Joaquin
Realignment" includes related work necessary to the realignment, including without
aA0
limitation, relocation of the Motel 6 driveway and frontage improvements and any
wetlands mitigation required by the Army Corps of Engineers as a condition of issuance
of a permit allowing the Calle Joaquin Realignment(the "Wetlands Mitigation").
E. The City has established a Los Osos Valley Road/Highway 101
interchange sub-area traffic impact fee program to assess costs of improvements specified
in that program (the "Interchange Improvements") to projects that develop on properties
within that sub-area (the `Benefited Properties"). The Benefited Properties are
designated on the Reimbursement Map and Rate Sheet attached as Exhibit A hereto,
which exhibit is incorporated by reference herein. Pursuant to that program, the City
determined that the Costco Project's assessment is $910,000.00 (the "Costco Sub-Area
TIF").
F. The Calle Joaquin Realignment qualifies as part of the Interchange
Improvements, and it is anticipated that the costs to be incurred in connection with the
Calle Joaquin Realignment will exceed the Costco Sub-Area TIF. Therefore, the City has
agreed that the amount by which the costs of acquiring right of way, designing, obtaining
permits for, and constructing the Calle Joaquin Realignment, including any wetlands
mitigation necessary for the Calle Joaquin Realignment, exceeds the Costco Sub-Area
TIF shall be reimbursed from Sub-Area TIF fees collected from other Benefited
Properties (the "Reimbursement Payments").
H. Costco shall receive the Reimbursement Payments from the Sub-Area TIF
fees assessed against and actually collected by the City from owners of the Benefited
Properties, and City agrees to administer the Reimbursement Payments as set forth
herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:
1. Costs of the Calle Joaquin Realignment and Wetlands Mitigation.
(a) Design and Permitting Costs. Costco has submitted, and the City
approves, the design, permitting and acquisition costs incurred or quantified to date for
the Calle Joaquin Realignment in the amount shown on line 24 of the Calle Joaquin Off-
site Reimbursement Agreement Costs Spreadsheet attached hereto as Exhibit B (the
"Spreadsheet"). Additionally, Costco anticipates incurring future costs for such
purposes the amount shown on line 36 of the Spreadsheet. Line Items 28 through 31 are
maximum amounts not to be exceeded for reimbursement purposes, except pursuant to
mutually-approved change orders as provided in Section 2 below. Line Item 32 is a
maximum amount not to be exceeded, subject only to the contingency amount in Line
Item 35 and the limited change orders provided in Section 2 below. Line Item 33 is for
fees to City consultants advanced by Costco for future reimbursement from the City in
Reimbursement Payments, and the City is in control of the amounts to be expended by
these consultants.
2 � . �
(b) Acquisition Costs.
(i) The parties acknowledge that Line Item 18 of the
Spreadsheet is an amount for acquisition of right of way based on an appraisal of interests
to be acquired from one affected landowner and is subject to adjustment beyond the
control of the City or Costco.
(ii) The lands required for the Calle Joaquin Realignment from
another affected landowner are designated as wetlands and would not be available for use
for right of way or for development by the landowner without mitigation for the lost
wetlands. That landowner has agreed to provide lands for wetlands mitigation elsewhere
so that the land required for the Calle Joaquin Realignment is developable. That
landowner also has agreed to accept a value per square foot for the right of way acquired
for the Calle Joaquin Realignment as determined by future negotiation between the City
and such landowner, at a full fee value of not to exceed Five Dollars ($5.00) per square
foot, less the costs incurred under Line Item 3 and any portions of Line Items 6 and 7
attributable to Line Item 3 to construct the wetlands mitigation, and less the amount of
Line Item 53 for monitoring the wetlands mitigation. Costco and the City shall arrange
for any resulting net amount to be compensated to.said landowner in the form of Sub-
Area TIF credits ("Sub-Area TIF Credits") rather than cash.
(iii) Accordingly, acquisition costs are based on the assumption
that all other interests may be acquired through property exchanges and construction of
replacement improvements, without payment of monetary compensations if this is not
possible, acquisition may require eminent domain actions. The parties also acknowledge
that acquisition costs of properties acquired through eminent domain may be subject to
increase and that on-going acquisition and permitting work and possible design revisions
also shall increase the foregoing amount.
(c) Mitigation Monitoring. The net total of the Reimbursement
Payments, per Line Item 43 of the Spreadsheet is based on the further assumption that
the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) will approve the City undertaking and performing
all mitigation monitoring required in connection with the Calle Joaquin Realignment. If
the ACOE approves the City performing the mitigation monitoring, Costco shall pay for
any bond required by the ACOE, as indicated at Line Item 23 of the Spreadsheet, with
the City being the obligor whose performance is assured by the bond. The parties
understand that if the ACOE does not approve the City as the person responsible for
such monitoring, Costco will be required to retain consultants to perform the monitoring,
and Costco or its consultant(s) shall be the obligor under the bond. Furthermore, if
Costco is required to retain consultants, the Reimbursement Payments would be
expected to increase by the amounts shown on Line 55 if fairy shrimp are determined to
be present and by the amounts shown on Lines 53 if no fairy shrimp mitigation is
required. These amounts are estimates and would be subject to determination in the
same manner as the Wetlands Budget as provided in Section 1(d) below and to change
orders as provided in Section 2 below.
3 � _�
(d) Construction Costs. Costco has submitted to the City's Public
Works Department, and the City approves, the construction budget provided by Costco
to construct the Calle Joaquin Realignment in the amounts shown as Line Items 2 and 4
on the Spreadsheet (and applicable portions of Line Items 6 and 7) (the "Calle Joaquin
Construction Budget") and the estimate shown as Line Item 3 (and applicable portions
of Line Items 6 and 7) to construct the Wetlands Mitigation (the "Wetlands Estimate").
Upon obtaining a construction budget prepared by the licensed general contractor(s)
contracted or to be contracted by Costco to construct the Wetlands Mitigation (the
"Wetlands Construction Budget"), Costco shall present the same to the City. If the
Wetlands Construction Budget varies by more than 5% from the Wetlands Estimate, it
shall be treated as a change order proposal by Costco to the City. The parties
acknowledge that each of the Budgets also may be subject to subsequent change orders,
which, if approved by Costco and the City pursuant to Section 2 below, shall result in
adjustment of the respective Budget.
2. Change Order Procedure. Following determination of the Wetlands
Budget pursuant to Section 1 above, there shall be no increase in cost from the respective
Calle Joaquin Construction Budget (Line 2) and Wetlands Budget amounts or from the
Line Item 36 amount unless the increase is reflected in a change order approved by
Costco and City or excepted from such approval pursuant hereto. The only change orders
excepted from City approval are (a) those in which Costco shifts cost savings from one
line item of a component of a Budget to another line item, and (b) those for which Costco
does not seek reimbursement from the City. Furthermore, Costco and the City Engineer
together may approve a cost change order (as opposed to a design change order) if the
cost increase is Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) or less and the net total of the
change orders theretofore approved does not exceed applicable contingency and inflation
factors from Lines 6 and 7 of the Spreadsheet. Costco and the City Administrative
Officer together may approve a cost change order (as opposed to a design change order)
if the cost increase is One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or less and the net total
of the change orders theretofore approved does not exceed applicable contingency and
inflation factors from Lines 6 and 7 of the Spreadsheet. Any change order in excess of
$100,000 or in excess of the applicable amounts from Lines 6 and 7 shall be submitted to
the City Council for its consideration. If Costco is prepared to approve a change order
not excepted from City approval pursuant to the foregoing, Costco shall submit the
change order proposal to the City for approval with a categorization of those changes
necessitated by unforeseen conditions and those necessitated by City-initiated conditions.
The City's approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided
it shall be reasonable for the City to deny any change order resulting from a cause other
than unforeseen conditions or City-initiated changes. The City shall accompany any
rejection with a written statement of the basis therefor. To the extent the change order
does not require City approval of a design revision, Costco may proceed with the work
covered by the change order pending City approval of the change order, or even after
City rejection of the change order, but Costco shall do so at its own risk to the extent that
the City raises valid objections to the change order proposal. Any change order that is
submitted to the City for approval shall be deemed accepted if not accepted or rejected by
4 � _n
the City within ten (10) days of such submittal, however, any change order submitted to
the City Council for consideration shall be deemed accepted if not accepted or rejected by
the City Council within fifteen (15) days of such submittal.
3. Collection of Sub-Area TIF Fees. At the time the City first issues a
building permit or any discretionary permit, approval or license for each Benefited
Property after the date of this Agreement, the City shall collect the Sub-Area TIF fee
from the owner of such Benefited Property, except to the extent Sub-Area TIF Credits are
applied to Benefited Properties or the City accepts in-kind improvements that otherwise
would be funded at some point under the Sub-Area TIF in lieu of Sub-Area TIF fees.
Such Sub-Area TIF fee shall be the amount for each Benefited Property indicated on the
Reimbursement Map and Rate Sheet, attached hereto as Exhibit A, adjusted in
accordance with Section 4 below. To any extent that the cost of in-kind improvements
accepted by the City in lieu of Sub-Area TIF fees exceed the Sub-Area TIF fees required
of the party providing such improvements and such party may be reimbursed from future
collection of Sub-Area TIF fees, such party's reimbursement shall be subordinate to the
Reimbursement Payments under this Agreement.
4. Appreciation Factor. Without limiting any right of the City otherwise to
modify the Sub-Area TIF program, the Sub-Area TIF fees for each Benefited Property
(other than the Costco Sub-Area.TIF), the Sub-Area TIF Credits, and the Reimbursement
Payments shall be adjusted by multiplying the outstanding balance of each of them as of
the date of adjustment by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban
Consumers, All Items, All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the San Francisco-Oakland-San
Jose Region (1982-1984=100) presently published by the United States Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (the "Index"), calculated by determining the ratio of the
latest value for the Index published prior to the date the Sub-Area TIF fee is to be
collected or the Sub-Area TIF Credit or Reimbursement Payment is to be made and the
value for the Index as of(i) the date of City approval of the Sub-Area TIF fee program, in
the case of each Sub-Area TIF fee, and (ii) the date of completion of the Calle Joaquin
Realignment, in the case of the Sub-Area TIF Credits and the Reimbursement Payments.
In the event the Index shall hereafter be converted to a different standard reference base
or otherwise revised, the determination of the percentage increase shall be made with the
use of such conversion factor, formula or table for converting the Index as may be
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or, if said Bureau shall not publish the same,
then with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table as may be published by
Prentice Hall, Inc., or, failing such publication, by any other nationally recognized
publisher of similar statistical information. In the event the Index and/or a conversion
factor shall cease to be published, then, for the purposes of this Agreement, there shall be
substituted for the Index such other index as Costco and the City shall agree upon.
5. Time of _Reimbursement. City shall disburse the Reimbursement
Payments to Costco within thirty (30) days of receipt of Sub-Area TIF fees. The
Reimbursement Payments shall be the first priority application of all Sub-Area TIF fees
collected until the Reimbursement Payments and the appreciation factor thereon pursuant
to Section 6 hereof have been paid in full, and only then shall any of the Sub-Area TIF
5
fees be used for other aspects of the Interchange Improvements. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, if for any reason City has not theretofore disbursed to
Costco any Reimbursement Payments that were to have been collected and disbursed to
Costco in accordance with this Agreement during a calendar year, City shall disburse
such amounts to them by December 31 of that year. The foregoing notwithstanding, final
payment of the Reimbursement Payments and the handling of any claims arising out of a
dispute as to reimbursements.shall, irrespective of the dollar amount on any such claim,
be subject to Sections 20104 et seq. of the California Public Contract Code, or their
successor provisions.
6. Right to Reimbursement; Assignment Thereof. The right to receive
Reimbursement Payments shall be personal to Costco and shall continue notwithstanding
the subsequent sale or transfer by Costco of any portion or all of its Benefited Property,
unless Costco expressly in writing assigns its right to Reimbursement Payments to some
other person or entity, either in connection with the sale or transfer of Benefited Property
or independently of any real property transfer. The right to designate the application of
the Sub-Area TIF Credits shall be personal to the landowner to whom they initially are
granted and shall continue notwithstanding the subsequent sale or transfer of any of such
landowner's Benefited Properties; provided, however that the Sub-Area TIF Credits may
be applied only against Sub-Area TIF fees of Benefited Properties; and provided further
that such landowner s shall have the right to assign all or any portion of the Sub-Area TIF
Credits to the transferee in connection with the sale or other transfer of any of their
Benefited Properties by providing City with thirty (30) days written notice of such
assignment. Costco shall have no obligation to monitor City's collection of Sub-Area
TIF fees from the Benefited Properties. Costco hereby directs that Reimbursement
Payments due it shall be payable to and mailed its address for notice set forth below or to
such address as it may specify from time to time. The assignment of Reimbursement
Payments and Sub-Area TIF Credits shall be subject to prior written approval by the City,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, denied, conditioned or delayed.
7. Notices. Any notice or other communication hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be hand delivered or sent by United States registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the appropriate party at its address set forth
below, or at such other address as such party shall have last designated by notice to the
other parties. The same shall be deemed given when delivered or three days after
mailing; provided, however, that if any such notice or other communication shall also be
