Such bonds were issued for the express purpose of repaying to the City of Seal Beach moneys advanced by the City to the Agency which were utilized by the Agency for installation and con- struction costs associated with the City's community center, public works yard and police facility, for improvements made to the County of Orange public library located in the City, for improvements made to the former Pacific Electric right-of-way (which is now a parkway owned by the Agency) and for adminis- trative and overhead costs of the Agency.

A wide variety of educational and recreational classes are taught at the center which classes are attended by residents in the project Area and I I I Resolution Number-.",'S4 I the immediate neighborhood in which the Project Area is located. The meeting rooms within the community center provides a convenient location for activities by civic, social, and community organizations and groups from the Project Area and the immediate area in which the Project Area is located. Section 3. The City's public works yard provides a centrally located and easily accessible base from which City employees can manage, operate, maintain and repair the City's public works, including those public works in and surrounding the Project Area, all for the benefit of property owners, residents, and visitors within the Project Area and the imme- diate neighborhood in which the Project Area is located. The public works yard contains the administrative offices for the City's Public Works Department and storage facilities for the City's street sweeping, tree-trimming and park maintenance equipment. The public works yard also is used for the storage of materials and supplies for street maintenance throughout the City, including the Project Area. Section 4.

Such facility has upgraded the level of police protection available to the property owners, residents and visitors within the City and the Project Area.

Section 6. The former Pacific Electric right-of-way was improved by the Agency as a parkway.

The parkway also offers recreational opportunities for walkers and joggers within the Project Area and the immediate neighborhood. Section 7. At the time of repayment by the Agency for the costs of installation and construction of the above- described public improvements, that portion financed by the Agency was not within the budget of the City. The nature of the improvements was inappropriate for financing by special assessments since each had (and has) a general rather than a special or local benefit. General obligation bond financing was unavailable as a practical matter because of the extra- ordinary majority voter approval requirements and later because of the uncertainties of the availability.of that method of financing after the addition of Article XIIIA to the California Constitution. The moneys advanced by the City to the Agency I I I Resolution Number ~~~ I for each of the above-described public improvements depleted necessary reserve and replacement funds of the City, which remain depleted to the date of delivery of the tax allocation bonds by the Agency. With the exception of the uncertainty regarding general obligation bond financing under Article XIIIA, all of the circumstances surrounding such payment by the Agency for the costs of such improvements remain the same. Section 8. Based upon the facts and circumstances set forth in Sections 2 through 7, inclusive, hereof, the City Council hereby finds and determines that the City's community center, public works yard and police facility, the County of Orange public library located in the City and the Pacific Electric right-of-way open space greenbelt were and are of benefit to the Riverfront Redevelopment Project Area and to the immediate neighborhood in which the Project Area is located, I and that no other reasonable means of financing such improvements were or are available to the City. Section 9. The Finance Director of the City is hereby authorized and directed to cooperate with the Executive Director of the Agency so as to effect a repayment of the moneys advanced by the City to the Agency, all as set forth in more detail on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and that such repayments (including accrued interest) shall be deemed to have been made as of October 31, 1986~ Section 10. The Finance Director is hereby authorized and directed to appropriate the repayments by the Agency to the I Resolution Number 31,!pl .. . funds and accounts of the City as set forth on Exhibit B, attached hereto.
