Section 33476.5
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares that the merger of the project areas specified in Section 33476 in the City of San Bernardino is necessary to prevent a default on the outstanding bonds of the Meadowbrook/Central City Project due to the drastic reduction in property taxes caused by the adoption of Article XIII  A to the Constitution. This project area is already substantially redeveloped, making it unlikely that further redevelopment can be used to increase the tax base. The Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino has already had to call on the state for support of its bonded debt. This is an undesirable burden on the state which can be avoided by merging the two contiguous project areas into the combined Central City Project so that the tax increment from the buildout in Central City East and Central City South Project areas, when added to the tax increment of the Meadowbrook/Central City Project Area, resulting from combining the project areas, can serve the debt of all three projects, or the debt as refunded, thus preventing an undesirable default, or, in lieu thereof, further draws on the funds of the state.
