Council Subcommitee Review. On January 3, 2008, Council Members Steve Rosansky and Nancy Gardner met with staff to discuss Fuji Grill's proposal. Mr. Rosansky requested that John Lee, the principle owner of Fuji Grill, Inc. provide a personal guarantee. Ms. Gardner wanted to ensure that the outdoor dining furniture would not impede pedestrian flow, particularly during the summer months, and wanted to make sure the concession would only provide take -out — that there would be no table service. Mr. Lee agreed, later, to these terms. There was also some discussion about a parking program at CdM State Beach that would help the Tenant's customers defray the cost of parking at CdM. The subcommittee and John Lee agreed upon the program described below. Proposed Terms of Agreement. If the Council approves this item, it would also authorize the Mayor to enter into a contract based substantially on the provisions of the Lease Agreement attached to the August 31 RFP and the following negotiated terms: TERM: 5 years, with two 5 -year extensions; RENT: The greater of $80,000 /year, as adjusted annually by CPI, or 15% of gross sales, whichever is greater; RENT COMMENCEMENT: Rent Commencement Date will be the earlier of Memorial Day or 3 months after the execution of the agreement; TENANT IMPROVEMENTS: Fuji Grill shall install all required fixtures and improvements, as may be required by the Couni regulations.

PROPOSED PARKING PROGRAM: City intends to implement a new parking program at the CdM parking lot in which a daily rate shall be imposed from Memorial Day through September, and an hourly rate, with a Pay Machine, from October through the Friday before Memorial Day. If a Pay Machine (or similar) program is not in place by September 2, 2008, then City and Tenant shall participate in the following parking refund program: FALLBACK PARKING PROGRAM: Tenant shall reimburse customer's bill for up to the value of that parking ticket. Each parking stub shall be validated only once and only on the day the customer parked at CdM. If a customer purchases less than the parking stub amount, Tenant shall only be reimbursed up to the amount of the concession purchase. By the 10th of each month, Tenant shall present the amount of parking reimbursements for the previous month to City, with receipts and proof of validation. City shall credit that reimbursement amount to the following month's rent. The monthly rent credit for the parking validation program shall not exceed the difference in the number of cars parked at the CdM parking lot between the previous month and that same month for the year 2007, as confirmed by City's parking employees or contractor. For example, if on September 2008, 100 ears parked at the CdM parking lot, and on September 2007, 75 cars parked at the CdM parking lot, Tenant's rent credit shall be the amount reimbursed to its customers, as evidenced by receipts and proof of validation, but shall not exceed the actual cost of parking 25 cars. The rent credit shall begin October 2008, if City has not implemented an hourly rate program by that time, however, City shall apply the parking rent credit to Tenant's first actual rent payment, i.e. — after the expiration of the TI rent credit. All parking rent credits prior to that first rent payment shall be cumulatively applied to that first months rent payment. It is the parties' intent that such reimbursements shall only be applied as a rent credit. The parking refund /rent credit program shall be effective from the day after Labor Day through the Friday before Memorial Day, and shall terminate in its entirety upon City's implementation of the hourly parking rate for CdM.

Annually, upon the anniversary date of the Rent Commencement Date, the Base Rent shall be adjusted in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index.

In no event shall the adjusted rent be reduced below the Base Rent immediately preceding any adjustment. The "Consumer Price Index" to be used in such calculation is the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers (All Items), for the Los Angeles Anaheim Riverside Metropolitan Area, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (1982 84 = 100). If both an official index and one or more unofficial indices are published, the official index shall be used.
