RESOLUTION NO. 91 -57
APPROVING THE UNDERTAKING OF CERTAIN
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS BY THE CITY ON BEHALF OF
THE COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION
WHEREAS, the Community Improvement Commission of the City of
Alameda (the "CIC ") is carrying out the Plan (the "Plan ") of the West End
Community Improvement Project (the "Project); and
WHEREAS, Section 33445 of the Community Redevelopment Law (Health
and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.) provides that the CIC may, with the City
Council of the City of Alameda's (the "Council's ") consent, pay for all or part of the
value of the land for and the cost of the installation and construction of any
building, facility, structure or other improvements which are publicly owned either
within or outside the boundaries of the Project (the 'Project Area ") if the CIC and
the Council make certain findings; and
WHEREAS, Section V.F.2. of the Plan authorizes the CIC to install and
construct public improvements either within or outside the Project Area, including
public improvements to public buildings; and
WHEREAS, the CIC and the City of Alameda (the "City ") have entered into a
Cooperation Agreement dated June 18, 1991 (the "Cooperation Agreement "), under
which the City agreed to expend funds on behalf of the CIC for the implementation
of the Plan, including the provision of public improvements; and
WHEREAS, the CIC wishes the City to renovate Fire Station #2, which is
located outside the Project Area but which primarily serves the Project Area, by
undertaking certain public improvements as set forth in the "Public Improvements
to Fire Station #2," attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by
reference, in order to provide safe and adequate fire protection services to the Project
Area (the "Improvements ");
NOW, THEREFORE, THE COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ALAMEDA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The CIC hereby finds and determines that the Improvements are of
benefit to the Project Area and the immediate neighborhood in which the Project is
located, and that no other reasonable means of financing the Improvements are
available to the community. This finding is supported by the following facts:
(a) Fire Station #2 is obsolete with respect to accommodating the
new fire equipment and other apparatus being used in current fire protection
methods;
(b) Fire Station #2 is structurally inadequate in terms of current
earthquake building standards;
(c) Approximately eighty percent (80 %) of Fire Station #2's service
calls, the bulk of which are in the form of responding to ambulance and emergency
medical calls,are received from the Project Area;
(d) The Improvements shall greatly improve the emergency
services ability of Fire Station #2, which will primarily benefit the Project Area; and
(e) The City does not have sufficient permanent funds to undertake
the Improvements.
Section 2. The CIC hereby approves the undertaking by the City of the
Improvements and consents to the City entering into contracts, as necessary, in
order to carry out the Improvements. The CIC agrees to reimburse the City for the
costs of the Improvements up to a maximum amount, as approved by the CIC in its
annual budget and pursuant to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement.
