A RESOLUTION
FOR APPROVAL OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD AND UNITED STATES GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, AND A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD AND CENTURA HEALTH CORPORATION
WHEREAS, representatives of the City of Lakewood, ("City") and
representatives of the United States General Services Administration ("GSA")
have, for many years, explored the feasibility of developing portions of the
Denver Federal Center ("DFC") and the provision of services by both
parties; and
WHEREAS, the City and GSA wish to further establish a more formal plan of
development of the DFC, commencing with procedures set forth in a Memorandum
of Understanding ("GSA MOU"); and
WHEREAS, the parties have negotiated a GSA MOU that is acceptable to both
parties and the City Council hereby desires to declare its support of the
GSA MOU and the annexation and development contemplated therein; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes this GSA MOU is the first step in a
complex process and, therefore, authorizes and empowers the City Manager to
take all steps necessary to negotiate and sign all agreements, letters and
documents on behalf of the City without further City Council approval; provided
however, such agreements, letters and documents obligating the City for specific
financial obligations shall be submitted and approved by the City Council;
and
WHEREAS, Centura Health Corporation ("Centura") and the City have
negotiated a Memorandum of Understanding ("Centura MOU") for the
development of a portion of the property owned by GSA. The Centura MOU is
dependent upon the implementation of the MOU between the City and GSA; and
WHEREAS, the City Council also recognizes the Centura MOU is a first step
in a complex process and, therefore, authorizes and empowers the City Manager
to take all steps necessary to negotiate and sign all agreements, letters
and documents on behalf of the City without further City Council approval;
provided however, such agreements, letters and documents obligating the City
for specific financial obligations shall be submitted and approved by the
City Council; and
WHEREAS, the GSA MOU and the Centura MOU are not legally binding and enforceable
agreements, except as to the agreement of the City to negotiate exclusively
with Centura for the period specified in the Centura MOU, but are statements
of the currently proposed actions to be taken by the parties.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lakewood,
Colorado that:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby finds the GSA MOU between the City and
GSA to be in the best interests of the public health, welfare and safety of
the City and hereby approves said GSA MOU and authorizes the City Manager
to sign said GSA MOU.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby finds the Centura MOU between the City
and Centura to be in the best interests of the public health, welfare and
safety of the City and hereby approves said Centura MOU and authorizes the
City Manager to sign said Centura MOU.
SECTION 3. In order to facilitate the orderly progression of this complex
project, the City Council hereby authorizes and approves the City Manager
to take any and all steps necessary to implement the GSA MOU and the Centura
MOU, including the execution of any and all agreements, letters and documents
of any nature whatsoever, pertaining to the DFC, save and except for agreements,
letters and documents that provide for specific financial obligations of the
City. This broad discretionary authority is granted until specifically revoked
by the City Council by a duly enacted Resolution.
