PUBLIC HEARING - PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW EVIDENCE OF

DEFAULT BY CORNERSTONE COMMUNITIES II, LLC UNDER THE

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT FOR THE PROPERTY

LOCATED AT 410 B STREET, SANTA ROSA, CA APN 010-045-025

BACKGROUND: Under the Agreement, the City sold the property at

410 B Street (APN 010-045-025) to Cornerstone on August 27, 2021,

with specific post-closing obligations. Cornerstone remains in default of

these obligations after several extensions. A notice of default was

issued on August 29, 2024, and a public hearing was held on December

10, 2024. Following the hearing, Council granted a 120-day extension

(to April 9, 2025) to allow discussions between Cornerstone and the

City regarding a potential amendment to the Agreement. While City staff

has engaged with Cornerstone, the extended deadline has passed, and

Cornerstone remains in default. Moreover, Cornerstone was unable to

provide reasonable assurance that it could proceed with the

development of the Property following entitlement approvals and they

requested that the SMART Site and Ross Street Project be removed

from the Agreement altogether, citing an inability to provide a general

development timeline for those sites. As a result, the City issued a new

notice of default on May 21, 2025, and scheduled a public hearing for

July 8, 2025, for the Council to determine whether to find Cornerstone

in default under the Agreement or provide further direction to staff.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager’s Office

that the Council: 1) conduct a public hearing to review evidence of the

defaults by Cornerstone Communities II, LLC (“Cornerstone”) on the

property located at 410 B Street, APN 010-045-025 (“Property”) in

connection with the Agreement of Purchase and Sale for Future Infill

Development and Joint Escrow Instructions (“Agreement”); 2) elect to

repurchase the Property for the Call Purchase Price in accordance with

the terms of section 23 (d) of the Agreement; 3) direct the City Manager

to deliver a Call Exercise Notice to Cornerstone within ten (10) days;

and 4) further authorize the City Manager, in consultation with the City

Attorney, to execute any and all agreements and documents as

necessary to carry out the City Council’s direction and to complete the

repurchase of the Property from Cornerstone in accordance with the

terms of Section 23 of the Agreement.

Jill Scott, Real Estate Manager, Jason Nutt, Assistant City Manager,

and Ethan Walsh, BBK as outside counsel, presented and

answered questions from Council.

Mayor Stapp opened the public hearing at 7:18 p.m.

Pauline Block, representing Cornerstone, spoke in opposition of

Item 16.2 and staff's recommendation and requested that Council

defer the decision on repurchasing of the property and direct staff to

to Council for final consideration.

BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa entered into the Restructured

Agreement for Water Supply with the Sonoma County Water Agency

(Sonoma Water) in 2006 (2006 Restructured Agreement). The 2006

Restructured Agreement created the Water Advisory Committee (WAC),

which is an advisory committee to the Sonoma Water Board of Directors

and is comprised of elected officials of each of the eight prime

contractors that are party to the 2006 Restructured Agreement,

including Santa Rosa. Marin Municipal Water District (Marin Water) has

a separate existing water supply agreement with Sonoma Water with a

term expiring June 30, 2025. Sonoma Water and Marin Water have

prepared a draft amended and restated water supply agreement (Draft

Agreement), which proposes changes to several key provisions.

The 2006 Restructured Agreement provides for deliveries to Marin

Water pursuant to their 1996 water supply agreements, or to

amendments to those agreements that have been approved by the

WAC, or to subsequent agreements between Sonoma Water and Marin

Water approved by the WAC. Therefore, the WAC will be considering

approval of the proposed Draft Agreement at a future WAC meeting,

currently scheduled for August 4, 2025. Staff are recommending that the

City Council provide direction to its WAC representative,

Councilmember Natalie Rogers, regarding support for the Draft

Agreement for Water Supply by and between Marin Water and Sonoma

Water.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public

Utilities and Santa Rosa Water that the Council, by motion, consider the

proposed water supply agreement by and between Marin Municipal

Water District and Sonoma County Water Agency and provide direction
