City of Santa Ana; Workers' Compensation Appeals Board case #ADJ039389 - Settlement Agreement in the amount of $86,300. CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL — THREAT OF LITIGATION pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(b), One case CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL — INITIATION OF LITIGATION pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(c), One case. – City Council considered threat of litigation and initiation of litigation together; action against the City's Successor Agency in relation to various development agreements for affordable housing projects, mainly those associated with the Station District project. Given the demand by the California Department of Finance (DOF) for the return of $54 million and significant risks to the City's General Fund, money that would have to be taken out of the general fund if we release it, the City Council has made a change of direction from the December 21, 2012 Special Meeting and has directed staff not to release any further payments under the development agreements. While the City Council understands that this subjects the Successor Agency to claims and litigation, we feel that we have no alternative given the DOF's demands upon the City and Successor Agency. EXCUSED ABSENCES – Clerk of the Council Office MOTION: Excuse the absence of Mayor Pro Tern Tinajero. QUARTERLY REPORT OF CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO BY THE CITY MANAGER - Finance & Management Services MOTION: Receive and file the Quarterly Report of Contracts entered into between October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 valued at $25,000 and less.
