Home My WebLink AboutRDA Res 04-2 2007-09-27 RESOLUTION NUMBER D4-)... A RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH AUTHORIZING A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH, AS SELLER, AND THE FRIENDS OF SEAL BEACH ANIMAL CARE CENTER, INC" AS BUYER THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, FIND AND DETERMINE: Section I. The Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") proposes to sell the real property where tile Seal Beach Animal Shelter is located ("Property") to long-term tenant. Friends of Seal Beach Animal Care Center, Inc. ("Friends") a Califomia Public Benefit Corporation. The Agency purchased tile Property in 1976, as surplus land adjacent to where tile Seal Beach 'Police Department was planned. The Police Department was constructed soon thereafter, and the surplus land was undeveloped until the Shelter began operating in tile mid-eighties. Section 2. In tile spring of 2004, the City of Seal Beaeh commissioned Organizational Effectiveness Consulting to perform an efficiency study concerning tile Police Department. Based, in part, upon tile drain to city resources, tile report recommended that tile property be sold. There were a number of reasons for tIIis recommendation. As shown in tile staff report, tIIere are a number of positive benefits for the Agency, tile City, tile Animal Care Center and the residents of Seal Beach. Section 3. The Agency will not incur any costs in connection witll tile proposed sale, otller tIIan transactional costs. Other tIIan any incremental cost that tile surplus property may have added to tile purchase price when tile land was bundled witll tile land purchased to construct the police station in 1976, there were no acquisition costs to the Agency. There are no additional land acquisition costs, clearance costs, relocation costs, improvement costs or financing/interest costs. As shown in tile staff report for a related item, the Friends have incurred expenditures in excess of $170,000 improving tile property, at no cost to tile City or Agency. The sale of the land and the agreement transferring animal control services from tile City represents an annual savings of about $71 ,856. The Agency will no longer have to incur upkeep, repair and maintenance costs associated witll ownership. The silvings associated witll reduced liability exposure cannot be quantified. Section 4. The sale will assist in the elimination of blight in direct and indirect ways and is consistent witll tile implementation plan for tile Project Area adopted pursuant to Healtll and Safety Code Section 33490. Perhaps tile most immediate benefit is that the Friends' activities to shelter stray animals and to keep strays and dangerous animals from roaming tile Project Area eliminates blight and increases property values. Equally significant, the Friends' ownership ofthe shelter and tile transfer of animal control services from the City create significant annual savings. Agency and city resources can be better spent on eliminating blight and making improvements in tile Project Area. Due to tile cost savings outlined in the staff report, such funds may be redirected to public improvements and projects tIIat will assist in tile elimination of blight and improve public services. The Project Area is characterized by tile existence of inadequate open spaces, public improvements and public facilities. The availability of funds for future improvements, including in and to tile Project Area, will benefit tile healtll, safety and welfare of tile residents and taxpayers of tile Project Area and tile immediate neighborhood. The sale will assist in tile elimination of conditions of blight witllin tile Project Area caused by inadequate public improvements. This in turn will assist in eliminating a factor that negatively impacts tile value of property within the Project Area. Section 5. A summary report of tIIis proposed sale has been made available for public inspection (and copying at a cost not exceeding tile cost of duplication). I I I Resolution Number t.)~~ I Section 6. , Notice of a joint public meeting to be held by the City Council and the Agency regarding the approval for the sale has been duly given in the manner required by law. Section 1. Based upon the foregoing and the evidenee presented at the hearing, including the staff report, the consideration for the sale is not less than the fair reuse value of the Property at the use and with the covenants and conditions authorized by the sale. Section 8. The Agency hereby approves the Purchase and Sale Agreement for the sale (and all documents described therein) in the form attached as Attachment A to the staff report, and authorizes and directs the Chairman and the Executive Director to execute all necessary documents to facilitate the sale of the property. Section 9. The Agency Secretary shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADD~ by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Seal Beach this /2'1 I-h day of .
