FASHION SQUARE - MAINTENANCE SHED The Executive Director reported to the Agency that Draper & Kramer were seeking Agency funds to replace the maintenance shed on the parking garage site in Fashion Square. The Executive Director reported that it was an oversight on Draper & Kramer's part not to have included the replacement of the maintenance shed as a part of their prior negotiations. The Executive Director reported that the Agency is not legally obligated to replace the maintenance shed, but would recommend an expenditure of $5,000 for the replacement, because he felt that if the issue had been brought up during the negotiation period, we would have arrived at a reasonable settle- ment, such as an Agency contribution of $5,000. A motion was made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Garthe, and carried by the following roll call vote to approve and authorize an expen- diture of $5,000 for the replacement of the maintenance shed at Fashion Square.

A motion was made by Mr. Ward and seconded by Mr. Yamamoto to autho- rize the Executive Director to accept an easement and letter agree- ment with the Jackson's, and to spend an amount not to exceed $900, provided such expenditure is used by the Jackson's to pave the alley portion of their property.
