WHEREAS, the Agency's financial contribution pursuant to the Agreement is
necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Redevelopment Plan;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the La Quinta Redevelopment
Agency, as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitations are true and correct.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33445(a), the La Quinta
Redevelopment Agency finds and determines that:
A. The acquisition of the Property pursuant to the Agreement for the future
development of the Infrastructure Improvements is of benefit to the Project
Area, by helping to eliminate blight within the Project Area, in that the
Infrastructure Improvements will consist of public infrastructure improvements,
and the Redevelopment Plan 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. No other reasonable means of financing the purchase of the Propertyy or the
Infrastructure 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 Property and Infrastructure Improvements
is to use Agency funding; (iii) without Agency funding, the Property could not
be acquired and the: Infrastructure Improvements would not be completed, all to
the detriment of the Project Area.
C. The acquisition of the Property and the future installation of the Infrastructure
Improvements are consistent with the Agency's implementation plan adopted
pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33490 ( "Implementation Plan "), in
that improving public infrastructure and facilities within the Project Area are
goals set forth in the Implementation Plan.
SECTION 3. The Agency's expenditure for the Property for future development
with the Infrastructure Improvements is necessary to effectuate the purposes of
the Redevelopment Plan and is in the best interests of the City of La Quinta.
SECTION 4. The Agency authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of up to
$1,368,380 plus closing costs estimated to be $10,000 to close the transaction
contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement and appropriate from the
reassignment of $1,378,380 (401- 1773 -551) from the SilverRock Phase 2 Golf
Course project.
