LV Executive meeting - bi-weekly
Bob Kennedy, Chris Aiello, Chris Andresen, Derek Sanders, grady@lvllc.com, greg@lvllc.com, pedro@lvllc.com
Summary
What happened
- The meeting reviewed the Francis project closing timeline, deliverable requirements, and document coordination to enable closing and parallel site work.
- Participants confirmed a tentative closing date of the 10th and noted the city's rule that all deliverables must be completed two business days before closing.
- The group discussed uncertainty over LAHD/LAHE approvals and whether LAHD will accept escrowed funds to permit closing with unresolved items.
- The team agreed to prepare an escrow agreement for the escrow agent and requested that Down Spam Irene draft that agreement via Chris's email to Anna.
- The acceptance of escrow by LAHD remains an open approval risk.
- Operational readiness and site status were reviewed: subcontract work should start in parallel so work can commence if the deal closes; Greg will prepare subcontracts to enable quick onboarding.
- Wilton site work is underway, electrical meters will be reprogrammed on the 10th, and systems must be up and inspected by Porbaba before the August 24 close.
- Financial and document items were confirmed: bond and mortgage fee amounts were verified, an initial LV payout was prepared covering bond, insurance, and small general-condition items, and Anna and MRK will be asked to confirm sources and uses (MRK already has supporting files in Dropbox).
- Outstanding LA development checklist items include a bound insurance certificate and one architect certificate.
- Assignments and document execution responsibilities were noted: Bob will follow up on signature execution with Steve Cooney and add missing items to the LA dev Slack channel; Chris will request the final bond and coordinate original documents.
