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 City Council of the City of
La Quinta, as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitations are true and correct.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33445(a), the City
Council of the City of La Quinta 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 Property or the
Infrastructure Improvements is available, 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 Agreement is hereby approved. The City Council hereby
consents to the use of Agency funding to acquire the subject Property.
SECTION 5. The City Council directs its City Manager to (i) sign such documents
that require the City's signature in order to effectuate the City's acquisition of the
Property and (ii) take such other and further actions as may be necessary and
proper to carry out the terms of the Agreement.
