The Financing Authority was established by the City Council on July 24, 2001 for the purpose of refinancing existing bonded indebtedness and financing additional monies to be used for land acquisition related to the Village Expansion project and open space preservation. The Authority will remain in existence so long as any bonds remain outstanding; and is required to hold an annual meeting on the second Tuesday in December of each year.
In 2011, California Redevelopment Law directed statewide dissolution of all redevelopment agencies, and that a successor agency be established to administer agency enforceable obligations.
