8/22/11 LES Section 2. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference. Section 3. In accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 34193, and based on the Recitals set forth above, the City Council hereby determines that the City shall comply with the provisions of Part 1.9 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code, as enacted by ABX1 27. Section 4. Except as set forth in Section 5, below, the City Council hereby determines that the City shall make the community remittances set forth in Health and Safety Code section 34194 et seq. Section 5. City shall not make any community remittance in the event (A) a court of competent jurisdiction determines that ABX1 26 and ABX1 27 are unconstitutional and therefore invalid, and all appeals therefrom are exhausted or unsuccessful, or time for filing an appeal therefrom has lapsed; or (B) during any judicial stay of ABX1 27. Any community remittance shall be made under protest and without prejudice to the City's right to recover such amount and interest thereon in the event that there is a final determination that ABX1 26 and ABX1 27 are unconstitutional. If there is a final determination that ABX1 26 and ABX1 27 are invalid, this Ordinance shall be deemed to be null and void and of no further force or effect. Section 6. The City Council hereby authorizes and directs the City Manager/Interim City Manager, or his designee(s), to take any actions and execute any documents necessary to implement this Ordinance, including but not limited to notifying the Orange County Auditor-Controller, the Controller of the State of California, and the California Department of Finance of the adoption of this Ordinance and the City's agreement to comply with the provisions of Part 1.9 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code, as Part 1.9 exists on the date of adoption of this Ordinance, as set forth in ABX1 27, with such notification to be accompanied by a certified copy of this Ordinance. Section 7. It is the understanding and intent of the City Council that, once the Agency is again authorized to enter into agreements under the CRL, the City will enter into an agreement with the Agency as authorized pursuant to Section 34194.2, whereby the Agency will transfer annual portions of its tax increment to the City in amounts not to exceed the annual community remittance payments to enable the City, directly or indirectly, to make the annual remittance payments. Said agreement between the City and the Agency shall be conditional, to be operative only if ABX1 26 and ABX127 are upheld and the stay is lifted. The City Council does not intend, by enactment of this Ordinance, to pledge any of its general fund revenues or assets to make the remittance payments. Section 8. The City Council finds, under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(4), that this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in that it is not a "project," but instead consists of the creation and continuation of a governmental funding mechanism for 11 A-3
