Periodic Compliance. Review for the Palo Alto Medical
Foundation Development Agreement
Dear Ms. Moore:
This report is provided pursuant to Paragraph 9 (a) of the Development
Agreement between Palo Alto Medical Foundation and the City. As you are aware,
planning and construction activities to implement the Development Agreement are
currently in suspension while the Foundation pursues acquisition and development of an
alternative site for its new heathcare facility. The City has granted certain legislative and
administrative development approvals for the new site.
As a result, the Foundation.and the City have entered into the First Amendment to
Development Agreement, effective as of March 14, 1996, pursuant to which all
implementation of the Development Agreement has been suspended. In this set of
circumstances, the Foundation is not in a position to consider further activities pursuant to
the Development Agreement.
We request that the City issue a Certificate of Good Faith Compliance in
accordance with Section 9 of the Development Agreement for the annual period ending
October 29, 1998. If you require any additional information in connection with this annual
review, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely yours,
Robert W. Jamplis, M.D.
President and Chief Executive Officer
