This proposal would have major impacts for the City of Santa Ana. <br />Redevelopment has had decades of positive results in improving communities across the state and <br />has contributed to an array of projects throughout Santa Ana. Some of these accomplishments <br />include the Main Place Mall, Santa Ana Auto Mall and the Grand Central Arts Center. The <br />negative impacts on our economy, including job-creation and the development of affordable <br />housing, would be so devastating that the League of California Cities is assembling a team of <br />lawyers to challenge the State if in fact they vote to abolish the redevelopment agencies. The <br />League of California Cities legal team contends that the Governor's proposed elimination of <br />Redevelopment Agencies is unconstitutional based on the passage of Proposition 22 late last year. <br />Cities across the State are contributing toward this expense and the Santa Ana Redevelopment <br />Agency's portion of the fee is $7,500. <br />L~GENCY SECRET,4RY USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />^ As Recommended <br />^ As Amended <br />^ Ordinance on 15~ Reading <br />^ Ordinance on Zntl Reading <br />^ Implementing Resolution <br />^ Set Public Hearing For <br />3®1 <br />
