SECTION 1. The above recitations are true and correct.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33445(a), the Agency
finds and determines that:
A. The Project Area No. 1 Improvements are of benefit to Project Area No. 1,
by helping to eliminate blight within Project Area No. 1, in that the Project
Area No. 1 Improvements consist of public infrastructure improvements, and
the Redevelopment Plan for Project Area No.. 1 provides for the elimination,
and prevention of the spread, of blight and blighting influences through the
installation, construction, or re -construction of streets, utilities, and other
public facilities and improvements.
B. The Project Area No. 2 Improvements are of benefit to Project Area No. 2,
by helping to eliminate blight within Project Area No. 2, in that the Project
Area No. 2 Improvements consist of public infrastructure improvements and
one property acquisition, and the Redevelopment Plan for Project Area No. 2
provides for the elimination, and prevention of the spread, of blighting
influences through the installation, construction, reconstruction, redesign, or
reuse of streets, utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, traffic control devices,
flood control facilities and other public improvements, and also provides for
property acquisition as a means of eliminating and preventing the spread of
blighting influences.
C. No other reasonable means of financing the Project Area No. 1
Improvements or the Project Area No. 2 Improvements are available to the
community, for the following reasons: (i) City monies are dedicated. to
critical police, fire, and other necessary expenditures, including other capital
improvement projects; (ii) the only practical means of paying for the Project
Area No. 1 Improvements and the Project Area No. 2 Improvements is to use

Agency funding; (iii) without Agency funding for the Project Area No. 1
Improvements and the Project Area No. 2 Improvements the Project Area No.
1 Improvement and the Project Area No. 2 Improvements would not be
completed, all to the detriment of Project Area No. 1 and Project Area No. 2.
D. The Project Area No. 1 Improvements and the Project Area No. 2
Improvements are consistent with the Agency's implementation plan adopted
pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33490 (the "Implementation
Plan"), in that improving public infrastructure and facilities within Project
Area No. 1 and Project Area No. 2 are goals set forth in the Implementation
Plan, and acquiring the Village Area Land described in Exhibit 1 is a proposed
project set forth in the Implementation Plan.
SECTION 3. The Agency's expenditure for the Project Area 1 Improvements and
the Project Area No. 2 Improvements is necessary to effectuate the purposes of
the Redevelopment Plans for Project Area No. 1 and Project Area No. 2 and is in
the best interests of the City of La Quinta.
SECTION 4. The Capital Budget is hereby included in the Agency's Fiscal Year
2010-2011 operating budget, which appropriates funds for specific facilities,
equipment and improvements, and the Agency hereby approves the Agency's
