II c. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ITEM OF BUS1NESS I
1. CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. RA 03-
005 CONCERNING THE SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ELECTRICAL
FACILITIES
James Markman, City Attorney, stated that Resolution RA 03-009 will change the source of funding for
the electrical utility physical work and costs associated therewith. He said previously the Council and
Agency had decided to advance the funds from the Redevelopment Agency for the work per Health and
Safety Code findings that were made, which have been challenged in a lawsuit filed by Southern
California Edison. He said the lawsuit challenges the source of funds, not the ability to do the project
itself. He said it does not make any sense in fighting this when there are other ways to allocate funding to
accomplish the same purpose. He said these actions are changing the source of funding by repealing the
two resolutions and allocating funds from the City's Capital Reserves.
