Agency has prepared Redevelopment Plans ( "Redevelopment Plans ") for the Moorpark Redevelopment Project Area ( "Project Area "), which result in the allocation of property taxes from the Project Area to the Agency ( "Tax Increment') pursuant to Section 33670(b) of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health & Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.) ( "CRL ") for purposes of redevelopment. B. The intent of the Redevelopment Plan is, in part, to provide for the construction and installation of necessary public infrastructure and facilities and to facilitate the restoration and /or replacement of existing public facilities; to take all other necessary actions to implement the Redevelopment Plan for the respective Project Area and to expend Tax Increment to accomplish the goals and objectives of the respective Redevelopment Plan. C. The Agency has adopted a Five -Year Implementation Plan for the Project Area ( "Implementation Plan ") establishing goals for elimination of blight, production of affordable housing, construction of infrastructure and public improvements and community and commercial revitalization. To implement the programs and activities associated with each goal, the Agency has committed redevelopment funds from the Project Area based on estimated available Tax Increment revenue and debt financing structures. The Redevelopment Plan, the Implementation Plan and all official records of the Agency, as amended from time to time, are incorporated herein by reference. D. Pursuant to Section 33220 of the CRL, certain public bodies, including the City, may aid and cooperate in the planning, undertaking, construction, or operation of redevelopment projects. Agency desires assistance and cooperation of the City to carry out the construction of the High Street Streetscape and acquisition of property and construction of a neighborhood park located at 161 Second Street ( "Public Improvements "). The programs and activities associated with the Public Improvements include but are not limited to acquisition of property, development of design criteria, design, planning, preparation of construction bid documents, financial analysis, financing, project administration and new construction. E. The City is willing to aid and cooperate with the Agency to expeditiously implement the Public Improvements in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan and Implementation Plan, on the condition that Agency pledge $2,500,000.00 of MRA 2006 Tax Allocation Bond Proceeds ( "TAB ") Fund (2905) and Net Available Tax Increment, 324 as defined in Recital F below, to finance the Public Improvements in this current fiscal year and in fiscal year 2011/2012. F. For purposes of this Agreement, "Net Available Tax Increment" means any and all Tax Increment revenues, including (1) any and all Tax Increment funds currently held by the Agency, which are not budgeted or appropriated for payment of other indebtedness or obligations of the Agency; (2) any and all net proceeds of bonded indebtedness currently or hereafter held by the Agency or any lawful successor of Agency (except to the extent otherwise determined by the City Manager on behalf of the City and the Executive Director on behalf of the Agency), to pay indebtedness of the Agency after the Agency or its successor has made all necessary annual payments with respect to other outstanding debt obligations of the Agency, including without limitation bonded indebtedness, pass- through payments owed to affected taxing entities under written agreement or Sections 33607.5 or 33607.7 of the CRL, written agreements with other persons or entities, and any other statutorily required payment obligations of the Agency; provided, however, with respect to those Projects that are not affordable housing related, the Agency's pledge of Net Available Tax Increment shall only include those Tax Increment revenues which Agency is not required pursuant to Section 33334.3 of the CRL, to deposit into the Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. G. The City Council ( "Council ") and the Agency Board by resolution have each found that the use of Agency's 2006 TAB and Net Available Tax Increment for the publicly -owned improvements is in accordance with Section 33445 of the CRL and other applicable law. Said Council and Agency resolutions are each based on the authority of the Agency, with the consent of the Council, to pay all or part of the cost of the land and the installation and construction of any facility, structure, or other improvements which are publicly owned either inside or contiguous to a project area, if the Council makes certain determinations. H. By approving and entering into this Agreement, the Agency has approved the pledge of 2006 TAB and Net Available Tax Increment from the Project Area to pay for the Public Improvements. The obligations of the Agency under this Agreement shall constitute an indebtedness of the Agency for the purpose of carrying out the Redevelopment Plans for the Project Area and a pledge of 2006 TAB and Net Available Tax Increment received by the Agency from the Project Area to pay such indebtedness under the provisions of Article XVI, Section 16 of the Constitution of the State of California, the CRL, and the Redevelopment Plans.
