WHEREAS, pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law, the Agency is performing a public function of the City and may have access to services and facilities of the City; and WHEREAS, Section 33600 et. seq. of the California Community Redevelopment Law authorizes the Agency to borrow money or accept financial or other assistance from the City; and WHEREAS, the City will appropriate money in the City's Fiscal Year budget in an amount deemed appropriate each year by the Administrative Services Director to the Agency for the purpose of carrying out redevelopment activities; and WHEREAS, funds so appropriated may be used to find time, expenses, overhead costs, consultants contract costs, use of City facilities and staff and other expenses incurred on behalf of redevelopment efforts; and WHEREAS, funds so appropriated may be used in connection with the preparation and implementation of redevelopment plans pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law; which costs include, but shall not be limited to: the costs of surveys, planning, studies, and environmental assessments for the adoption of a redevelopment plan; the costs of acquisition of properties acquired, building and site preparation; public improvements; relocation assistance to displaced residential and nonresidential occupants as required by law; financial assistance provided to developers; and, other costs incurred by the Agency in increasing, improving and preserving the City's supply of low and moderate income housing availability at affordable housing costs both inside and outside redevelopment project areas, in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 33334.2 et seq. WHEREAS, the City will loan the funds to the Agency in the anticipation that such costs will be repaid by the Agency out of tax increment funds generated within the redevelopment project area and possible amended redevelopment project areas. NOW, THEREFORE, Agency and City for and in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements herein contained do agree as follows: 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the repayment to the City by the Agency in an amount deemed appropriate by the Administrative Services Director. Loan proceeds are to be used in connection with the preparation and implementation of redevelopment plans, administrative costs and expenses, including consultant costs, incurred by the Agency, which are incurred on behalf of the redevelopment efforts in the Central Redevelopment Project Area. 2. TERM OF AGREEMENT This Agreement shall be in full force and effect for a period beginning as of the date first written and continuing until all loans hereunder are repaid and no further City loans are required. 3. REPAYMENT TERMS The Agency agrees to repay the City in full together with accrued interest calculated at a variable rate based upon the annual average rate of return earned on the City's investment portfolio as determined by the City's Treasurer, compounded annually. The City shall calculate interest annually for the Agency. The loan together with accrued interest shall be repaid from future tax increment funds generated within the redevelopment project area starting on July 1, 2023 or earlier, if future tax increment is deemed available by the Finance Officer of the Agency. It is understood that in the event no project area is established or amended or tax increment revenues fail to yield enough revenue to repay this obligation, the Agency is under no obligation to the City to make such repayment from any further funds or resources it may acquire. Record Keeping As accurately as possible the Agency will track charges against this loan by redevelopment project area. In the event one or more project areas are amended, the costs incurred for the benefit of that project area(s) will become a debt of that project area(s). In the event that the City authorizes by appropriate resolution any future loans(s), such loan(s) shall become a debt of the Agency and shall be reflected as Attachment 1 (et seq.), which shall be attached to the Agreement, made a part hereof and subject to the terms set forth herein. 4. REPAYMENT SUBORDINATION It is agreed by the parties hereto that the repayment to the City pursuant to this Agreement is hereby subordinated to any and all payments necessary to satisfy the Agency's obligations in connection with any existing or future bonded indebtedness or obligation which may be incurred by the Agency for the benefit of the redevelopment plans, or to the extent necessary for any bonded indebtedness for which Agency has pledged as a security or source of repayment tax increment generated within the project areas. 5. VALIDITY OF AGREEMENT If any provisions of this Agreement, or the application hereof to any person, party, transaction, or circumstance, are held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to the other persons, parties, transactions or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby. IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement as of the date first above written. ATTEST: A ATTEST: M rga t R.
