WHEREAS, the Agency's agreement to pay the balance of the costs of the
Rehabilitation of the Administrative Building constitutes an indebtedness of the Agency for

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF
THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Agency hereby finds and determines that the foregoing recitals are true
and correct.
Section 2. Based on substantial evidence in the record, the Agency 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 costs of the
2
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 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 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.
Section 3. The Agency hereby agrees to pay the balance of the costs of the
Rehabilitation of the Administrative Building.
Section 4. The Agency Executive Director is authorized to take any action and execute
any and all documents and agreements necessary to implement this
Resolution.
Section 5. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach at
