Findings and declarations. 1.1 The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency of the City and County of San Francisco (the “Agency”) enters into many contracts, including, but not limited to, service contracts, loan and grant agreements and property agreements, in furtherance of the objectives of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq., the “Law”) in the interest of the health, safety and general welfare of the City of San Francisco’s (“City”) residents.
Findings and declarations. (a) The board of county commissioners finds that new development in the unincorporated area of the county requires additional governmental services and facilities, including specifically fire and rescue services provided by the county fire rescue department. It is the policy of the board, as set forth in the comprehensive plan, that new development should be permitted to occur only where an adequate level of governmental services and facilities, such as fire and rescue services, can be provided.
Findings and declarations. The people of California find and declare as follows: The cost and dependability of California's electric utility service are threatened by a new law that was intended to reduce regulation of electric utility companies in this state. Any change in the way electricity is sold should benefit all electric utility customers, including residential and small business customers, and should result in a fair and competitive marketplace. Instead of creating a fully competitive market for electricity, the new law unfairly favors existing electric utility monopolies by forcing customers to pay rates more than 40 percent higher than the market price in order to bail out utilities for their past bad investments. As a result of this $28 billion bailout for electric utility companies, the average California household will pay more than $250 more per year for electricity than they would in a fully competitive market. Residential and small business customers should not be required to bear the costs of bonds used by utility companies to pay for past bad investments. It is against public policy for residential and small business customers to be required to pay for the imprudent and uneconomic decisions of electric utility companies to invest in nuclear power plants which the public did not want and which threaten the health and safety of this state. Under the new law, deregulation of electric utility companies may result in marketing abuses that harm residential and small business customers. Such abuses may include the selling of information about these customers to other companies for profit.
Findings and declarations. The Board of Supervisors finds that significant revenues are lost each year as a result of taxpayers who fail to pay their tax obligations on time. The delinquencies impose an economic burden upon the County and its taxpayers. Therefore, the Board of Supervisors establishes the goal of ensuring that individuals and businesses that benefit financially from contracts with the County fulfill their property tax obligation. (Ord. No. 2009-0026 § 1 (part), 2009.)
Findings and declarations. The Authority hereby reaffirms its findings and declarations as set forth in Resolution R-8, adopted April 22, 1985, and further finds and declares that the Supplemental Trust Indenture, dated as of April 1, 1985 (the "Supplemental Indenture"), and the amendment of the Loan Agreement as contemplated by Amendment No. 1 to Loan Agreement, each substantially in the form presented to the Authority at this meeting, are consistent with such findings and declarations.
Findings and declarations. The Congress makes the following findings and declarations:
