Amendment /~~1. Approve Amendment FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: In September 2000, the City Council approved the Improvement Developer Agreement between the City and MSSH Dublin Development, LLC (developer) to construct Ted Fairfield Park in the Dublin Ranch Phase I Development. The Park included an area that was to be used by the Dublin San Ramon serVices District (DSRSD) for a recycled water pump station and park restroom building. The construction of the DSRSD facility is currently impacting the timely completion of approximately twenty percent of the park including the children's play area and adjacent plaza. The Developer has completed the remainder of the park facilities, which include the ball fields, walkways, basketball court, volleyball court, plaza and planting to the satisfaction of City Staff. In order to gain access and use of the park for the residents, Staff is recommending an amendment to the Improvement Developer Agreement that releases the Developer of specified obligations for the constructed improvements of the park as outlined in Section 3 of the Amendment (Attachment 1). The Amendment does not relieve the Developer of completing the remaining areas in a timely fashion and maintains all bonds and insurance until final acceptance. Staff anticipates that the remaining areas of the park will be completed in late Fall 2001. Recommendation: Staffrecommends that the City Council approve the Amendment to the Improvement Developer Agreement.
