CONFIRMATION OF AGENDA 2. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS 3. PUBLIC COMMENT Tom Roberts Stated that there was a question raised by Board Member Saks at the last Oversight Board Meeting with regard to the clause in the O'Reilly Contract that if they were unable to fulfill the contract by 2014,- the Successor Agency would be required to buy back the property. The question was also raised that if the Successor Agency is no longer a viable entity would the City then have to buy back the property He questioned if the City expects the Successor Agency to be operational in 2014 and even if it is, is it in the best interest of the City, financially, to buy back that property. It was also mentioned that O'Reilly is a large chain and it is unlikely that they would not build the store. There is not doubt that such a chain building in Grand Terrace would be very beneficial, however it should be pointed out that Fresh & Easy is also a large chain and they are no longer going to build in Grand Terrace. Walmart, also a large chain, has been known to offer to build in other cities and then not been able to fulfill their promise. He feels that the Oversight Board is the last line of defense for the:City of Grand Terrace and that it is their purpose to be cautious in the disposal of its assets. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1.
