RESOLUTIOn< 93-007 047 Note: The inclusion of this project list in the Capital Facilities Agreement between the District and the Agency is not an obligation by the District, the Agency, or the City to pursue, undertake and/or complete any of the projects set forth herein, but is intended to authorize the expenditure of revenues in compliance with Section 33445 and 33679 of the Health and Safety Code should the District choose to proceed with any one or more of the Eligible Capital Improvements. The Eligible Capital improvements proposed at the District's Santa Aha Campus are not located within the Project Area. However, several of the Eligible Capital Improvements are proposed to be located within the Centennial Education Center which is located within the Project Area. It is beneficial for the Project Area to be serviced by Eligible Capital Improvements which are within the City. Without such facilities in place, the residents and/or employees of the Project Area would not have convenient access to and be able to easily avail themselves of the educational opportunities which are offered by law to the people of the State of California in general, and to the community in particular. To the degree that the District's capital facilities deteriorate due to inadequate funding, their usability and efficiency will diminish, thereby adversely affecting the public's access and use of these capital facilities. In addition, as the City grows in population and employment, directly and indirectly as a result of the economic, social, and physical advantages and benefits of the use of redevelopment in the City, in general, and the Project Area, in particular, the District's existing capital facilities will become overcrowded and over-utilized, thereby deteriorating the educational environment. This will require acquisition or lease of new sites to accommodate the overflow of students, and/or the expansion, alteration, remodeling, renovation, and replacement of buildings, building fixtures, equipment, furniture, and services systems at existing sites. Without actions by the Agency or the District to fund the Eligible Capital Improvements, the District's modifications of present and future operational and administrative programs and activities may adversely affect the residents and employees of the Project Area and the community, Such operational and administrative programs which the District has and would continue to implement include, but are not limited to: a) modifying the curriculum and schedule of class opportunities; b) modifying class schedules and the availability of classes; c) increasing admission fees for classes offered; d) increasing classroom sizes beyond that which would provide for a desirable educational environment; e) meeting classroom capacity demands through the placement of emergency and temporary trailer or portable classrooms; and f) closure of facilities due to inadequate funding. The District also provides non-credit curricula to enhance the skills and capabilities of the adult population of the community and the Project Area. Employees of the Project Area can avail themselves of these services and expand employment skills, as well as basic B-3
