A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY +COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
APPROVING THE USE OF REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FUNDS FOR
PAYMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS TO
THE ORANGE STREET/PEARL AVENUE MEDIAN
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Redlands as follows:
Section 1. California Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section
33445, requires that the City Council find that: (1) the use of Redevelopment Agency
funds for the public improvements are of benefit to the Redlands Redevelopment Project
Area (the "Project Area"); (2) that no other reasonable means of financing the public
improvements are available to the community; (3) that the payment of funds for the
public improvements will assist in the elimination of one or more blighting conditions
inside the Project Area, and (4) that the use of the funds and the construct6ion of the
improvements is consistent with the Five-Year Implementation Plan adopted pursuant to
Section 33490. Based upon the testing provided to it by staff of the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Redlands, the City Council, acting as the legislative body of the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Redlands, hereby makes the following findings:
(i) The use of Redevelopment Agency tax increment funds is essential and
necessary, and will permit the construction of much needed infrastructure
improvements in the Redlands' Downtown area; and more particularly,
will be of benefit to the Project Area.
(ii) The City's General Fund cannot fund the improvements. This finding is
based on the lack of sufficient funds in the capital improvement budget of
the City to fund the Orange Street/Pearl Avenue public improvements
together with other urgently needed public improvements and facilities,
and the infeasibility of financing the public improvements through an
assessment district, debt service or other conventional method of financing
public facilities. Therefore, there is no other reasonable means of funding
the Orange Street/Pearl Avenue Median Improvements.
(iii) The use of tax increment funds for the Orange Street/Pearl Avenue
Median Improvements will assist in the elimination of current physical
blighting conditions inside the Project Area by providing necessary public
improvements, If the median remains barren as it has, the potential for
economic blighting conditions will accelerate, especially in the current
economic downturn.
(iv) The Orange Street/Pearl Avenue Median Improvements Project is
consistent with the identified goals and objectives in the Five-Year
Implementation Plan.
