RESOLUTION NO. 2011 — 163
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING
LEGISLATION ON ELIMINATION OR REFORM OF REDEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety
Code section 33000, et seq. ("CRL"), 16 of the 18 cities located in San Diego County have
formed redevelopment agencies ("RDAs"), duly operating under the rights and obligations set
forth in the CRL; and
WHEREAS, the RDAs have provided significant funding for affordable housing
and economic development projects, and have revitalized communities and eliminated blight
within the Cities by investing in local infrastructure and schools throughout the San Diego
County region for decades; and
WHEREAS, Governor Brown's budget for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 included a
dissolution of redevelopment agencies, the use of tax increment to fund State obligations, and
the redistribution of tax increment revenues to other taxing entities, which the Cities and the
RDAs believe violate Article XVI Section 16, Article XIII Section 25.5(a)(7), Article XIIIA Section
1(a) and/or Article XVI Section 16 (b); the State legislative session also includes SB 286 and SB
450, which propose reform or restructuring of certain redevelopment functions or activities; and
WHEREAS, The RDAs and the Cities will be significantly and adversely affected,
both individually and collectively, by the 2011 California State budget legislation known as ABx
126, as such legislation purports to dissolve redevelopment agencies statewide, redistribute tax
increment, and devolve
the obligations of such
redevelopment agencies upon so-called
successor agencies, which would operate under an as yet -unformed and untested regulatory
framework that promises to add a costly layer of oversight and administration to the process,
and to distribute critical local funds as the State deems appropriate and in a manner that is
adverse to the interests of the RDAs and Cities; and
WHEREAS, the Cities and the RDAs desire to cooperate in advocacy efforts for
the protection of redevelopment, and believe that the necessary administrative and procedural
actions associated with the same should be jointly undertaken to present a unified and
coordinated front, and to achieve cost savings where possible; and
WHEREAS, in the event State legislative actions are approved that reform or
restructure redevelopment functions or activities as proposed by SB 286 or SB 450 or other
reform -based legislation, the Cities and the RDAs wish to cooperate to address and/or
implement such reforms in an organized and efficient manner that will best assist the Cities and
the RDAs.
