REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
This Reimbursement Agreement ( "Agreement ") is entered into as of January 18,
2011 by and between the City of El Segundo, a general law city and municipal
corporation ( "City "), and L.A. Ice Venture Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (Owner), who agree as follows:
1. Recitals. This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts and
circumstances:
a. Owner owns real properties generally located at 555 North Nash Street in
City's jurisdiction, as described on Exhibit A which is incorporated by
reference.
b. Owner is seeking to develop its property and convert an existing covered
outdoor in -line skating rink into a 15,579 square foot indoor ice skating
rink.
C. In order for Owner to accomplish such development, City must assign
certain City staff or consultants to complete a number of tasks including
environmental review,, zoning review, plans review for compliance with
City standards, analysis of technical studies and project management
duties (collectively, "Services ") which will exceed the capacity of the
current City Staff.
d. City believes it is in the public interest for Owner to pay for such Services
2. City Reimbursement. City has estimated the costs and expenses of completing the
Services as being approximately $6,120 (of which $5,100 is estimated for traffic
consulting services and $1,020 is estimated for contract administration services).
However, the Owner acknowledges that the actual amount of such costs and
expenses may be different. Nonetheless, even though the actual amount of such
costs and expenses may be different, the Owner agrees to reimburse the Citror
the full amount of such actual costs and expenses in the manner provided in this
Agreement. Upon completion of the Services, City will provide Owner with an
accounting of those costs and expenses, which accounting the Owner agrees will
be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. The total of the costs and
expenses, as disclosed by the accounting, is called the "Reimbursement Amount."
3. Method of Reimbursement.
a. Except as provided below, upon execution of this Agreement, Owner
agrees to deposit with City $6,120 ( "Deposit Amount ") which represents
one hundred percent (100 %) of the estimated Reimbursement Amount.
Should the actual Reimbursement Amount exceed the Deposit Amount,
Owner agrees to promptly pay City any difference. Should the
Reimbursement Amount be less than the Deposit Amount, City will
refund Owner any remaining Deposit Amount to Owner within thirty (30)
days after determining the Reimbursement Amount.
b. The Deposit Amount will be placed in a non - interest bearing trust account
established by the City Manager. Owner understands and agrees that City
will not pay interest to Owner on the Deposit Amount and Owner will not
seek such interest payments from City. Costs associated with the Activities
will be charged against the deposit amount.
4. City Administrative Costs. Administrative costs incurred by City, including,
without limitation, staff time, fees and services, must be reimbursed on a time and
materials basis based on current City reimbursement rates. Owner agrees that it
will pay for such costs on a monthly basis within thirty (30) days of receiving an
invoice from City.
5 Owner Default. Should Owner fail to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement, then City may, at its option, pursue any one or more or all of the
remedies available to it under this Agreement, at law or in equity. Without
limiting any other remedy which may be available to it, if Owner fails to perform
any of its obligations under this Agreement, City may cease performing its
obligations under this Agreement and may bring an action to recover all costs and
expenses incurred by the City in completing the Studies, together with interest
thereon from the date incurred at the rate of 10% per annum.
6. Compliance with Law. Owner will, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all
of the requirements of all federal, state, and local authorities now in force, or
which may hereafter be in force, pertaining to this Agreement.
7. Waiver of Breach. Any express or implied waiver of a breach of any term of this
Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any further breach of the same or other
term of this Agreement.
Insolvency; Receiver. Either the appointment of a receiver to take possession of
all or substantially all of the assets of Owner, or a general assignment by Owner
for the benefit of creditors, or any action takers or offered by Owner under any
insolvency or bankruptcy action, will constitute a breach of this Agreement by
Owner, and in such event this Agreement will automatically cease and terminate.
9. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, all notices or other
communications required or permitted by this Agreement or by law to be served
on or given to either party to this Agreement by the other party will be in writing
and will be deemed served when personally delivered to the party to whom they
