Item No. 12.
For Meeting of: May 16, 2017
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing purchase and sale of real property with
Congdon Development Company, LLC for property to be
developed by SOZO Sports of Central Washington into a public
park and recreation area
SUBMITTED BY: Jeff Cutter, City Attorney
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
On April 7, 2015 the City entered into an Agreement with SOZO Sports of Central Washington
for the cooperative development of approximately 58 acres of property into a premier soccer
facility. The Agreement required the City to purchase approximately 40 acres of the 58 acre
parcel. At the time the City Council approved the expenditures associated with the purchase of
the 40 acre parcel and for development of that property into a soccer complex, the Council also
committed another $900,000 toward the purchase of an additional parcel that would support the
development goals of SOZO. Shortly after the Council made this commitment of future
purchase the City entered into an Agreement with the YMCA of Yakima to cooperatively develop
a portion of Chesterley Park into an aquatic facility. To accomplish that development the City is
obligated to provide a replacement property suitable to the Washington Recreation Conservation
Office (RCO) as a property sufficient to replace the public recreation land being utilized for
development from Chesterley Park.
To meet these two challenges the City has identified 32 acres immediately adjacent to the SOZO
Sports Complex that can be developed into a Public Park and Recreation property, thereby
meeting the needs of SOZO for support opportunities related to the soccer facility as well as
providing the City's best due diligence effort at meeting its responsibility to the YMCA to provide
an RCO replacement property for the Chesterley Park area planned for development. The 32
acre property identified to satisfy these joint purposes belongs to the Congdon Development
Company, LLC and has been appraised at $1,019,304. The attached Purchase and Sale
Agreement will accomplish the purchase of this 32 acre parcel which will then be leased to
SOZO Sports of Central Washington. SOZO will develop and maintain the property as a Public
Park and Recreation Area available to benefit the residents of Yakima as well as to support the
SOZO Sports of Central Washington Soccer Complex. The development and maintenance of
the property shall be accomplished under an Agreement with SOZO that specifies the terms and
conditions of the development, maintenance and use of the property.
2
The attached Purchase and Sale Agreement includes water rights held under certificate by
Congdon, as well as a Shared Well Agreement allowing the use of the Congdon well to deliver
water to the property. The City also has the opportunity to seek a relocation of water rights from
the 40 acre SOZO parcel the City owns south of the 32 acre parcel if water is needed form that
source.
This property purchase is intended to meet the City's commitment to SOZO Sports to acquire
additional property to support the SOZO Sports Complex development as well as to provide the
City's best opportunity to meet the RCO property replacement that is required of the City by the
agreement with the YMCA for development of the aquatic center at Chesterley Park.

"Deed") subject to no exceptions other than:
(a) Non -delinquent liens for real estate taxes and assessments; and
(b) Any exceptions disclosed by Title Documents and approved by Buyer in writing pursuant
to Section 4.2.
All of the foregoing exceptions shall be referred to collectively as the "Approved Conditions of
Title." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer hereby disapproves
all liens evidencing secured monetary encumbrances (other than liens for non -delinquent real estate
property taxes and assessments) and Seller agrees to cause all such liens to be eliminated at Seller's sole
cost and expense (including all prepayment penalties and charges, if any) prior to or concurrently with the
Closing.
Section 4.2 Title Review.
Buyer shall have the right to approve any and all matters of and exceptions to title of the Property,
as disclosed by the following documents and instruments (collectively, "Title Documents"): (i) a
preliminary title report ("Preliminary Report") issued by Title Company with respect to the Property and
all matters referenced therein; (ii) legible copies of all documents, whether recorded or unrecorded, referred
to in such Preliminary Report; and (iii) an updated survey of the Property. Buyer shall, not later than fifteen
(15) business days following Buyer's receipt of the Title Documents ("Title Review Period"), give Seller
written notice ("Buyer's Title Notice") of Buyer's approval or disapproval, which shall be made in Buyer's
sole and absolute discretion, of the legal description and every item or exception disclosed by the Title
Documents. The failure of Buyer to give Buyer's Title Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Title
Review Period shall be deemed Buyer's disapproval of title to the Property. If Buyer disapproves of any
matter of title shown in the Title Documents, Seller shall, within three (3) days after Buyer's Title Notice is
received by Seller, give Buyer written notice (the "Seller's Response") of those disapproved title matters, if
any, that Seller is unable or unwilling to have eliminated from title to the Property as of the Closing. Seller's
failure to timely give a Seller's Response shall be deemed Seller's agreement not to remove or to cause to
be removed any disapproved title matters identified in Buyer's Title Notice. If Seller notifies Buyer within
the time provided above that Seller is unable or unwilling to remove any of the title matters objected to by
Buyer in Buyer's Title Notice, Buyer shall have until the date that is three (3) days after receipt of Seller's
Response to notify Seller in writing that either (1) Buyer is willing to purchase the Property subject to such
disapproved exceptions, or (2) Buyer elects to cancel this transaction. Failure of Buyer to take either one of
the actions described in clauses (1) or (2) above shall be deemed to be Buyer's election to take the action
described in clause (2) above, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall
have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Section 6.1 and Section 9.3 hereof.
If Seller agrees to remove any disapproved title matters, then Seller shall remove them prior to the Closing.
Seller covenants that, after the Title Review Period, Seller shall not cause title to the Property to differ from
the Approved Conditions of Title. Any liens, encumbrances, encroachments, easements, restrictions,
conditions, covenants, rights, rights-of-way or other matters affecting the Approved Conditions of Title that
may appear of record or be revealed after the Title Review Period, shall also be subject to Buyer's approval
as a condition to the Closing for Buyer's benefit.
Section 4.3 Evidence of Title.
7
Delivery of title in accordance with the foregoing shall be evidenced by the irrevocable
commitment of Title Company to issue, at Closing, its Owner's ALTA Extended Coverage Policy of Title
Insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price showing title to the Real Property vested in Buyer, and
insuring all appurtenant easements, subject only to the Approved Conditions of Title and with such
endorsements as may be requested by Buyer (the "Title Policy").

a credit in the amount of the cost of repair), plus the amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums
