A RESOLUTION OF THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
APPROVING A LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
AGENCY AND THE WILSON GROUP FOR THE PURPOSE OF HIRING A
LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATE TO PURSUE THE ECONOMIC EQUITY DISTRICT
ACT AND TO APPROPRIATE $50,000 FROM UNAPPROPRIATED TAX
INCREMENT FUNDS TO COVER COSTS RELATIVE TO THIS PROJECT.
WHEREAS, there are certain areas within the City and Redevelopment Areas
that due to locally unique factors are physically deteriorated or underdeveloped,
economically depressed, and socially disadvantaged to the point of requiring additional
economic development tools to alleviate these conditions;
WHEREAS, the physical, economic, and social conditions of blight which have arisen in
certain areas of the City threaten the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents; and
WHEREAS, with the current conditions of existing parcels in Lynwood, traditional
redevelopment tools would be insufficient to put these severely blighted parcels to viable
economic use and back on the tax rolls.
WHEREAS, the passage of the Economic Equity District Act would enable the Agency
to remedy economic, physical, and social conditions of blight through the provision of additional
economic development resources not currently available through traditional redevelopment
methods.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
THAT:
SECTION 1. The Agency based on the aforementioned findings and determinations
hereby adopt this resolution and authorize the Interim Executive Director to pursue passage of
the Economic Equity District.
SECTION 2. The Agency authorize the Chairman to sign the "Legislative Advocacy
Agreement" in order to retain The Wilson Group as the Agency's legislative advocate.

this project:

to Account 12-5037 and
$25,000 from the unappropriated Tax Increment Alameda Project
