A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ADOPTING THE
FISCAL YEAR 2008-2009 BUDGET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana
conclusively finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. Pursuant to Health & Safety Code S 33606, the Community Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Santa Ana ("Agency") must adopt an annual budget.
B. The draft budget for fiscal year 2008-2009 presented to the Agency is
designed to further implement the Agency's mandate to reduce or eliminate
the physical and economic conditions that cause blight within the City of
Santa Ana. The Projects are consistent with the 5-Year Implementation
Plan, the Redevelopment Plans (as amended) and the reduction and/or
elimination of blight.
C. The Legislature has concluded that the term "redevelopment" includes
provision for open-space types of use, such as streets and other public
grounds and space, and the replanning or redesign of stagnant or
improperly utilized areas which exist because of defective or inadequate
street layout.
D. The Agency hereby finds and determines that the planning and
administrative expenses to be paid from the Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund for each redevelopment project are necessary for the
production, improvement, or preservation of low- and moderate-income
housing pursuant to Health and Safety Code S 33334.3(d) and are not
disproportionate to the amounts budgeted for the costs of production,
improvement or preservation of that housing. Such costs are necessary
and proportionate to the amount proposed for actual housing assistance
activities for the year.
E. The Agency hereby finds that the planning and administrative expenses
budgeted last fiscal year from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
were necessary and appropriate for the production, improvement, or
preservation of low- and moderate-income housing pursuant to Health and
Safety Code S 33334.3(d) and were not disproportionate to the amounts
actually spent last year for the costs of production, improvement or
preservation of that housing.

F. The Agency has retained certain interests in real property acquired using
moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, and has not
initiated activities consistent with the development of the property for the
development of housing affordable to persons and families of low and
moderate income within the statutory five (5) year period. The addresses of
these properties are as follows: 618 N. Garfield Street, 901 Brown Street,
717 E. Third Street and 435-437 S. Birch Street.
The Agency intends that these properties shall be used for the development
of housing affordable to persons and families of low and moderate income,
and hereby requests a five (5) year extension in furtherance of said purpose
pursuant to Health and Safety Code 9 33334.16.
G. The Agency adopts by reference and incorporates as though fully set forth
herein each and every finding contained in the supporting documentation
which accompanies the draft budget for fiscal year 2008-2009, including but
not limited to the memorandum from the Executive Director to the City
Manager dated May 31, 2008, the letter from the City Manager to the
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members, and the staff report from the
Executive Director to the Agency, together with all exhibits attached to said
documents.
H. The draft budget for fiscal year 2008-2009, together with the supporting
documentation presented to the Agency, complies in all respects with the
requirements of the Community Redevelopment Law, including but not
limited to Health & Safety Code 9 33606.
I. For those expenditures proposed which are outside a project area in the
draft budget for fiscal year 2008-2009, the Agency finds and declares that
such expenditures will be of benefit to the project area. This finding is made
pursuant to Health & Safety Code 9 33334.2(g)(1).
J. The Agency finds and declares, pursuant to Health & Safety Code 9
33420.2, that because of the magnitude and severity of the graffiti within its
project areas, any actions that the agency determines are necessary to
remove graffiti from public or private property may be taken in order to
effectuate the purposes of the redevelopment plan, and such removal
actions shall assist with the elimination of blight, as defined in section
33031.
K. The Agency finds and declares, pursuant to Health & Safety Code 933445
that certain publicly owned improvements shall be constructed or improved,
financed partially or wholly, as determined by the Executive Director, with
Agency funds within or without the project areas, thereby constituting debt
of the Agency, except within the former Central City and Inter-City Project
Areas. The legislative body has determined that the facilities, structures or
other improvements are of benefit to the project area or the immediate
neighborhood in which the project is located; no other reasonable means of
Resolution No. eRA 2008-003

financing the buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements are
available to the community; and the payment of funds for the cost of the
facilities, structures or other improvements will assist in the elimination of
one or more blighting conditions inside the project area or provide housing
for low- or moderate-income persons, and is consistent with the
implementation plan adopted by the Agency pursuant to Health & Safety
Code ~33490.
L. The Agency has reviewed the Cooperative Agreement between the Agency
and the City and hereby updates and reaffirms said Agreement.
Section 2. The fiscal year 2008-2009 budget of the Community Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Santa Ana is hereby approved and adopted pursuant to Health &
Safety Code ~ 33606.
Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by
the Agency Board, and the Agency Secretary shall attest to and certify the vote adopting
this Resolution.
