WHEREAS, the Agency desires to purchase the "Leasehold Interests" for the Project with
$160,000 of Agency funds as presently the City does not have funds available for this project;

true and correct and incorporates them herein.
SECTION 2. Findings Required by Health & Safety Code Section 33445. The City

within the Project Area and the purchase of the "Leasehold Interests" to construct a
public library will provide those needed public facilities; and

available to the community as the City is using its funds to undertake other public
improvements throughout the City; and

conditions inside the Redevelopment Project Area by providing for adequate parcels
and required public improvements to induce new construction and/or rehabilitation by

reconstruction and/or rehabilitation in such a manner as to achieve a higher and better
utilization of the land within the project area, and assisting in attracting new
