NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

Section 1. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the foregoing recitals are
true and correct.
Section 2. Based on substantial evidence in the record, the City Council hereby finds
and determines that:
a. The Rehabilitation of the Administrative Building is of benefit to the
Project Areas and the immediate neighborhood in which the
Administrative Building is located and is consistent with the goals of
the Five-Year Implementation Plan for the Project Areas.. This
determination is based, in part, on the fact that the Rehabilitation of
the Administrative Building is in the best interests of the City and the
health, safety, morals and welfare of its taxpayers, employees,
business tenants, property owners and residents. The Rehabilitation
of the Administrative Building will benefit all employees, business
tenants and property owners of the Project Areas, �as well as the
residents, employees, business tenants and property owners of the
City;
b. No other reasonable means of financing the balance of the costs of
2
the Rehabilitation of the Administrative Building are available to the
City. This determination is based, in part, on the fact that the City
itself is not in a position to finance the balance of the costs of the
Rehabilitation of the Administrative Building. Without the assistance of
participation proceeds from the Project Areas, the Rehabilitation of the
Administrative Building would not be feasible; and
C. The payment of funds by the Agency for the balance of the costs
related to the Rehabilitation will assist in the elimination of one or
more blighting conditions within the Project Areas and is consistent
with the Redevelopment Plan. This determination is based, in part,
on the information contained in paragraph a. above.
