REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />SEPTEMBER 19, 2011 <br />TITLE: <br />COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN <br />THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AND THE <br />COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY <br />PURSUANT TO ABX1 27 <br />i <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />? As Recommended <br />? As Amended <br />? Ordinance on 151 Reading <br />? Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached Cooperative <br />Agreement with the Community Redevelopment Agency (Agency), subject to non-substantive <br />changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On September 6, 2011, the City Council approved a Continuation Ordinance to allow the City the <br />option to "opt in" to the Voluntary Redevelopment Program pursuant to recently passed legislation. <br />In furtherance of the actions the City and Agency have taken to implement the provisions of the <br />legislation (ABX1 27), it is recommended by legal counsel that the proposed Cooperative <br />Agreement between the City and Agency be conditionally approved. This agreement will protect <br />the Agency's interests by allowing the required remittances to the state to be included in the <br />Statement of Indebtedness which is due October 1, 2011. This agreement will only become <br />operational if the Calfornia Supreme Court determines that ABX1 27 is constitutional. <br />Given that Santa Ana's redevelopment efforts significantly contribute to much-needed economic <br />and physical community revitalization, affordable housing development, and the general <br />enhancement of our city, it is recommended that the City and Agency continue to take the <br />necessary steps to implement ABX1 27. <br />25B-1
