A RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE
CITY OF SAN JACINTO APPROVING THE ALLOCATION OF
ADDITIONAL LOW-MOD HOUSING FUNDS FOR THE
ENHANCED SENIOR HOME REPAIR GRANT PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of San Jacinto Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") is
engaged in the activities necessary to execute and implement the redevelopment
plan ("Redevelopment Plan") for the Agency's San Jacinto Redevelopment
Project Area ("Project Area"); and
WHEREAS, the Agency is undertaking certain activities necessary for
redevelopment in the Project Area pursuant to the provisions of the California
Community Redevelopment Law (Health & Safety Code, §§ 33000 et seq.)
("CRL") and the Redevelopment Plan; and
WHEREAS, in April of 2005, the Board of the Redevelopment Agency of
the City of San Jacinto ("Agency Board") adopted the Enhanced Senior Home
Repair Grant Program (the "Program") in order to provide grants from the
Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund ("Low-Mod Housing Fund")
of up to Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) to qualified low-income seniors to be
used for home and mobile home rehabilitation work;
WHEREAS, under the Agency's budget for the current year, One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000) is allocated for the Program; and
WHEREAS, due to the popularity of the Program with the City's low-
income senior population, the current Program funding allocation will not meet
the needs of this population and Agency staff is requesting allocation of an
additional Ninety Nine Thousand Dollars ($99,000) for the Program; and
WHEREAS, unless additional funding is allocated to the Program, it is
anticipated that all of the Program's allocated funding will be expended many
months prior to the end of the current budget year; and
WHEREAS, without an allocation of additional funding, the Program will
have to cease operations until additional funding is allocated in the subsequent
year's budget; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has Low-Mod Housing Funds available, in the
requested amount, from the proceeds of the Agency's tax-exempt bond issue of

2005, which funding can be allocated to the Program for the current budget year;
and
WHEREAS, allocating additional funds to the Program will be of benefit to
the Project Area, as the rehabilitation work carried out as part of the Program
reduces physical blight in the Project Area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Jacinto:
Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are
true and correct and are incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth in
this Resolution.
Section 2. Funding Allocation. The Agency Board hereby approves
the allocation of an additional Ninety Nine Thousand Dollars ($99,000) of Low-
Mod Housing Funds for the Program, and hereby directs the Agency's Finance
Director to make the appropriate transfer of funds into Account Number 099-
9700-470-4001.
Section 3. Further Acts. The Executive Director of the Agency is
authorized (with the concurrence of the City Attorney) to execute and deliver on
behalf of the Agency any documents and instruments as may be necessary or
convenient in the furtherance of the actions authorized by this Resolution.
Section 4. CEQA Compliance. The Agency has determined that
pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) of the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") Guidelines the funding allocation contemplated in this Resolution is not
a "Project" subject to CEQA review and is therefore exempt from CEQA
requirements because it is a govemment funding mechanism or other
governmental fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any
specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the
environment.
This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the Agency
Board.
