NOW, THEREFORE, THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Resolution No. 2011 -243 Page 3 SECTION 1. Agency hereby finds and determines that the provision of the proposed Public Improvements are of benefit to the Project Area as they will help to eliminate blight within the Project Area, that no other reasonable means of financing the Public Improvement are available to the community; and that the payment of funds for the Public Improvement is consistent with the Agency's Implementation Plan for the Project adopted pursuant to Section 33490 of the CRL. These findings and determinations are based upon the following facts: a. The Public Improvements are located within the Project Area and will assist in eliminating the blighting condition of inadequate recreation facilities in the downtown neighborhoods. b. Although the City is able to aid and assist the Agency by undertaking the Public Improvements and initially providing the funds necessary for the acquisition of land or the construction or installation of the Public Improvements, the City lacks the resources necessary to fund the Public Improvements from the General Fund, and other potential sources of funds are not available at this time. C. The Implementation Plan for the Moorpark Redevelopment Project contains the specific goals and objectives of the Agency for the Project Area, the specific programs, including potential projects, and estimated expenditures proposed to be made during the next five years, and an explanation of how the goals and objectives, programs, and expenditures will eliminate blight within the Project Area set forth in the Community Redevelopment Law. The Public Improvement is consistent with the Implementation Plan, as the goals and programs provide funding for public facilities, such as parking facilities, parks and recreation facilities, landscaping and other amenities, which serve properties and people in the Project Area. SECTION 2. Agency hereby approves the Public Improvement Reimbursement Agreement and hereby authorizes and directs the Executive Director of the Agency to execute the Agreement on behalf of the Agency, subject to any minor, technical or clarifying changes that may be approved by the Agency's legal counsel. The Agency hereby further authorizes and directs the Executive Director to take all actions and execute all documents as necessary to carry out the Agreement and accomplish the acquisition of land and construction of the Public Improvements and the Agency's reimbursement of City for the costs of the Public Improvements as provided for in the Agreement.
