The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County RESOLVES THAT:
The Board of Supervisors (the "Board")of the County of Contra Costa(the "County„)
adopted the Bay Point Redevelopment Plan by Ordinance No. 87-102 on December 29, 1987,
and subsequently amended by Ordinance No. 94-64 on December 6, 1994 and Ordinance No.
99-05 on February 23, 1999 (the "Redevelopment Plan"), which Redevelopment Plan sets forth a
plan for redevelopment of the Bay Point Redevelopment Project Area(the "Project Area").
The Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency(the "Agency") is responsible for
administering the Redevelopment Plan to cause redevelopment of the Project Area, including
assembly,site preparation and redisposition of property both within and outside the Project Area
for private redevelopment consistent with the Redevelopment Plan.
The Agency, Resources for Community Development and the O'Brien'Group, a
California corporation("O'Brien"), entered into a Disposition, Development and Loan
Agreement dated as of March 11, 2003 (the"DDLA") governing the transfer and redevelopment
of an approximately 9.22-acre site(the "Property") located within the Project Area,bounded by
Pullman Avenue, Bella Monte Avenue, Fairview Street and Willow Pass Road, through the
construction by RCD of fifty-one(5 1)multifamily rental apartment units affordable to low and
moderate income persons (the "Apartment Improvements")on a portion of the Property(the
"RCD Site") and the construction by O'Brien of sixty-nine(69) single family homes for owner
occupancy(the "Single Family Improvements") on a portion of the Property(the "OBG Site")
(collectively, the "Development"). Pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated

Resolution 2004/254
Pursuant to Section 33445 of the Community Redevelopment Law(Part 1 of Division 24
of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California(the "Law")), the Agency is authorized,
with the consent of the Board, to pay part or all of the cost of the installation and construction of
any building, facility, structure, or other improvement which is publicly owned and is of benefit
to the Project Area.
The construction of certain infrastructure improvements (the "Infrastructure
Improvements") including the construction of sewer and drainage facilities and traffic
improvements on the streets bordering the Development, is necessary to the successful
redevelopment of the Property and will therefore be of benefit to the entire community
surrounding the Development, and the Project Area as a whole.
By resolution number RA2003-01, the Agency committed Five Hundred Seventy
Thousand Six Hundred Forty Nine Dollars($570,649) in Agency funds for the Infrastructure
Improvements serving the Apartment Improvements.
By resolution number RA2003-659, the Agency committed Nine Hundred Thirty Nine
Thousand One Hundred Twenty Dollars ($939,120)to assist in the construction by OBG of
certain of the Infrastructure Improvements to be owned by the County.
Upon further refinement of the infrastructure costs the Agency and OBG determined that
up to an additional One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) is necessary to construct the Infrastructure
Improvements.
The Agency desires to commit an additional One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)in Agency
funds for the construction of the Infrastructure Improvements to be owned by the County and
serving the entire Development(the "Infrastructure Grant"). Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000) of the Infrastructure Grant would be disbursed to OBG on a cost reimbursement basis
and up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000)of the Infrastructure Grant would be
disbursed on the sale of the homes in the Single Family Development.
The Agency commitment of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in Agency funds for the
Infrastructure Grant is consistent with the Agency's five-year Implementation Flan(the
"Implementation Plan").
The Agency and OBG desire to enter into an infrastructure grant agreement(the "Grant
Agreement") governing the use and the disbursement of the Infrastructure Grant.
The Negative Declaration previously prepared by the Agency and the County to serve as
the environmental documentation under the California Environmental Quality Act for the
redevelopment of the Property including construction of the Infrastructure Improvements and the
consideration of the DDLA continues to serve as the environmental documentation for purposes
of compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act for consideration of the Grant
Agreement and the Infrastructure Grant.

which the findings and actions set forth in this Resolution are based.
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board finds that the above recitals are

other governmental funding sources to pay costs of the Infrastructure Improvements at the
federal, state, or local level.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that construction of the Infrastructure Improvements is
an integral component of the Development; that close coordination is required',between
construction of the Infrastructure Improvements and the surrounding simultaneous construction
of the Development; that timely completion of the Infrastructure Improvements is essential to the
overall elimination of blight in this portion of the Project Area,and, in turn, to the successful
redevelopment of the Property; and that, under these circumstances, construction of the
Infrastructure Improvements can be most efficiently, timely, and cost-effectively performed by
and under the supervision of the Developers and in accordance with the Infrastructure
Agreement.
