Upon adoption of thj,s Plan uy the City Council, the. Agency
is ?uthorized to finance this Project ,~ith financial as.,
sistance fro;o the. City, Sallj,tflt:i.on Distict No. If, StD,te of
California, ,Federal Government, l'l:ope.rty Tax lncrcmcmts,
Interest Income and I.eency bonds. '
In "general, it is expected (thour;h not required) that the only
properties to be acqt!irecl by the Agcncy ,,':lll be those pro,.
perties' nccessary for public uses. Thus the cost of property
acqu:lsition "Iill be relatively lei'l, Host other property ac-
quisition by the Agency l'lOuld ta];e place only if appropriate
and only l'lhen thcre is a certainty of a pl:ivate purchaser
from "the Agency ensuring substantial repayment of the cost
of purchase.
The advances for survey and planning and the operating capital
for this proj ect ,~ill come through loans from the City until
the Agency is certain adequate tax increments ,d1l be allocated
to the Agency to ensure the issuance of Agency bonds, or until
tax increments ar.e sufficient to l:epay the loans. The City
will also supply ass:i,stance through City loans and gr.ants for
various public facilities.
Revenues from Sanitation Distl."ict No. 4 may be needed to pay
for a portion of the Se'~er Tr.eatment Plant. ,A basic '~atel:
and se'~er gl."ant from the Federal gover.nment may also he ,
necessar.y to pay for a pOl:tion of the SC?lver Treatment Plant.
Gas Tax Funds from the State of California will be used as
available for the stJ:eet systclO.
Property tax incrclnents ,~iJ.l be used to pay for the other
"debts of the Project, including the por.tion of the costs
of the Sewcr 'freatment Plant I~hj.ch are of benefit to thc
- proj ect.
it is anticipated that Sanitation 'Di strict No. If and City
will enter into a Joint..PO\vers Agreement in cooperation with
the Agency for the pUl:pose of creating a Joint'.Pm~ers entity
to finance and construct the sewer treatmcnt plant. By this
,means the .JointooPq,1'lers entity 'vill issue bonds based on a
,"lease of the plant- to the City. The Sei'lC.~r treatment plant
may be constructed and'leas'ed to lhe City by a non.'profit
corporation. The bonds 'vill be repe,id as appropriate by
district revcnues, l:edcvelopmE~nt tax incr.ements, and pro-
ceeds from Agency bonds to be repaid by tax increments.
The se,,'er treatment plant is e~ser,tial to thc development
of the 1'l:Oj ect area.
It is estimated that the total project costs i~cluding the
Se\'ler treatment plant 'viII be $6, '/00,000 and it is estimated
that total pl:Oj cct revenues ,,'ill be in excess of $6, '/00,000
'more than sufficient to meet that total cost.
It is cstimated that Asency honds l'li11 be issl1C?d ill an amount
totalling betHcen $2,900,000 and $ll, 500,000. Therc I'lill be
some revenue acenJing to the Proj ect from intel."est earned "on
:i.nvestments of Agency funds.
