A RESOLUTION OF THE CYPRESS REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY APPROVING A
GRANT DEED TO CONVEY CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY USED FOR RECREATION
AND PARK PURPOSES TO THE CYPRESS RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the Cypress Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") is a public body,
corporate and politic, organized and existing under the California Community
Redevelopment Law (Health & Safety Code § 33000 et seq.); and
WHEREAS, the Cypress Recreation and Park District is a special district
organized and existing as a dependent special district under the laws of the State of
California ("District"); and
WHEREAS, the Agency, in accordance with California law, previously acquired
certain real property within the Cypress Merged Redevelopment Project Area, a portion
of which property (hereinafter, the "Property") later became the site for certain public
recreation and park improvements as part of the City's Civic Center complex; and
WHEREAS, now that such recreation and park improvements have been
completed on the Property, it is appropriate for the Agency to convey the Property to the
District so that the Property can be both owned and managed by the District; and
WHEREAS, the California Community Redevelopment Law, at Health and Safety
Code Sections 33430 and 33431, authorized the Agency to convey the Property to the
District; and
WHEREAS, a joint public hearing of the Agency and District with respect to the
conveyance was duly noticed in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section
33431 and was held on the matter of the proposed conveyance; and
WHEREAS, all actions required to be taken by the Agency and District precedent
to the adoption of this Resolution were duly and regularly taken in accordance with
applicable law;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Cypress Redevelopment Agency resolves as follows:
Section 1. The foregoing Recitals are true and correct and incorporated
herein.
Section 2. The Agency finds and determines as follows:
A. The conveyance of the Property to the District effectuates the
purposes of the Cypress Merged Redevelopment Project by transferring to the District
real property on which District operations occur, thereby relieving the Agency of liability
which accompanies property ownership, and that the foregoing is adequate
consideration for the conveyance by the Agency and that no monetary consideration is
required.
B. By having conformed with the requirements of Health and Safety
Code Section 33431, the Agency may convey the Property to the District without public
bidding.
C. The Agency's conveyance of the Property to District is, in the
Agency's independent judgment, exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
pursuant to 14 C.C.R. §§ 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(3), and 15301.
Section 3. The Agency approves the conveyance of the Property to the District
and approves the form of Grant Deed therefore presented by Agency staff concurrent
with consideration of this Resolution. The Agency Chairperson is authorized and
directed to sign the Grant Deed on behalf of the Agency and the Acting Agency
Executive Director is authorized and directed to take such further actions, including but
not limited to recordation of the Grant Deed, and sign such other and further documents
to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution and of the Grant Deed.
