A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA,
CALIFORNIA, MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS PURSUANT TO HEALTH
AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 33445(a)
WHEREAS, the City Council on February 18, 2003 approved proceeding with
construction of a third fire station, all of which are publicly owned improvements;
WHEREAS, the fire station will be located in the La Quinta Redevelopment
Agency's Project Area 2, and will enhance the public's safety of Project Area 2;
WHEREAS, there is inadequate funding available from the Fire Facility Developer
Impact Fund to proceed with the station construction at this point in time;
WHEREAS, it would be in the best interest of the public for the fire station to
be constructed at this point in time;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33445(a), the City
Council finds that:
(a) That the fire station will be of benefit to the Project Area and to the
immediate neighborhood in which the station will be located.
(b) That no other reasonable means of financing the fire station are available to
the community at this time, in that the City's Fire Facility Development Impact Fee
fund currently does not have sufficient funds to pay for the construction, and will not
'accumulate sufficient funds for that purpose within the near future.
(c) That the payment of funds for the construction of the fire station will assist
in the elimination of one or more blighting conditions inside the project area and is
consistent with the implementation plan adopted pursuant to Section 33490.
SECTION 2. The City Council therefore consents to the La Quinta
Redevelopment Agency funding of the costs of the City's third fire station, and
authorizes the execution of the Financing Agreement for that purpose.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the La Quinta City
Council held on this 18th day of February, 2003, by the following vote'
