OF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3 3 101 of the Community Redevelopment Law of
the State of California (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.) the City Council of the
City of Santa Clarita ("City") designated the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clarita

(Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq); and

("Project"); and

objectives of the Redevelopment Plan; and
WHEREAS, Part 1.8 (commencing with Section 34161) and Part 1.85 (commencing

2011, which requires the dissolution of redevelopment agencies by October 1, 2011
("ABX 126"); and
WHEREAS, Part 1.9 (commencing with Section 34192) was added to the Health and
Safety Code by ABX127, also effective on June 28, 2011, which authorizes redevelopment
agencies to continue to exist, notwithstanding ABX 126, provided a city adopts an ordinance on
or before November 1, 2011, agreeing to comply with the provisions of ABX 127, including the
payment of certain tax increment revenue received by an agency pursuant to Section 33670 of the
Health and Safety Code and Section 16 of Article XVI of the California Constitution to the
county auditor -controller for allocation into a Special District Allocation Fund and a county
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for non -redevelopment purposes; and
WHEREAS, ABX 127 also allows a redevelopment agency to exist after October 1,
2011, if prior to October 1, 2011, a city adopts a nonbinding resolution of its intent to adopt an
ordinance agreeing to comply with ABX 127 on or before November 1, 2011 "(Resolution of
Intent"), and notifies the State Department of Finance, the State Controller and the county auditor
of the city's adoption of the Resolution of Intent; and
WHEREAS, an action challenging the constitutionality of ABX126 and ABX127
was filed by the League of California Cities and the California Redevelopment Association on
behalf of cities, counties and redevelopment agencies; and
I
WHEREAS, in connection with that action, on August 11, 2011, the Supreme Court
of California issued an order staying the effectiveness of ABX 127; and
WHEREAS, the order issued by the Supreme Court did not address the means by
which a City would opt to participate in Part 1.9 if the order were to be dissolved at some point
after the cut-off dates set forth in ABX127; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to clarify its intention to take part in the alternative
redevelopment program authorized by Part 1.9 if the Supreme Court finds that ABX 127 is a valid
exercise of the State's legislative authority and upholds that legislation against the legal action
currently pending.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita does hereby
resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby declares its intent to adopt an ordinance on or
before November 1, 2011, agreeing to comply with ABX127.
