(s 501,1 local Financing
For the purpose of carrying out the Project, the Agency will
obtain a Project temporary loan from the United States of America
(hereinafter called the "Government"), in the estimated amount of
$4,946,246. The obligations evidencing the Agency's indebtedness to
the Government for the Project temporary loan shall be in a form
satisfactory to the Government and the Agency. Said obligations shall
not be a debt of the City of Santa Monica, the State of California,
nor any of its political subdivisions; and they shall not be liable
on said obligations; nor in any event shall the obligations be payable
out of any funds or properties other than those of the Agency, and the
obligations shall so state on their face.
In addition to the foregoing, the Agency may from time to time
borrow money by any means legally available to it, including the
issuance of bonds, and it may expend such money for any or all of the
following purposes:
(1) The repayment of moneys advanced by the Government for
planning the Project.
(2) The acquisition of Project land.
(3) The preparation of land acquired by the Agency.
(4) The expenses in connection with the disposition of Project
land.
(5) The expenses of administering the Project, including
interest charges.
The Agency may issue its bonds in one or more series, in such
amounts, and on such terms and conditions as the Agency shall from

County of Los Angeles, City of Santa Monica, or any district or other
public corporation (hereinafter called "taxing agencies") after the
effective date of the ordinance approving the Amended Redevelopment
Pian shall be divided as follows:
(1) That portion of the taxes which would be produced by the
rate upon which the tax is levied each year by or for each of said
taxing agencies upon the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable
property in the Project as shown upon the assessment -roll used in
connection with the taxation of such property by such taxing agency,
last equalized prior to the effective date of such ordinance, shall be
allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, the fund of the
respective taxing agencies as taxes by or for said taxing agencies
on all other property are paid; and
(2) That portion of said levied taxes each year in excess of
such amount shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid
into a special fund of the Agency to pay the principal of and interest
on bonds, on loans, moneys advanced to, or indebtedness (whether funded,
refunded, assumed, or otherwise) incurred by the Agency to finance

the total assessed value of the taxable property in the Project as
shown by the last equalized assessment roll referred to in paragraph
numbered 1. hereof, all of the taxes levied and collected upon the
taxable property in the Project shall be paid into the funds of the

(s 502) Estimated Total Project Costs
It is estimated that the expenditures by the Agency and other
public bodies for the planning and execution of the Project will total
$6,296,246 which sum is claimed as eligible for financing under loan
and grant provisions of Title I of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended,
Professional private appraisers estimate that sale of Project land
after installation of site improvements as called for in the Amended
Redevelopment Plan will yield $1,755,200. The difference between pro-
ceeds from sale of project land and the claimed eligible costs of pre-
paring the Project for reuse represents the net project cost eligible
for Federal grant under the provision of Title I of the Housing Act of
1949, as amended. One-third, $1,155,058 of the net project cost, must
be met by non -Federal sources, and the remaining two-thirds, $2,685,648,
may be met by the Federal Government in the form of a capital grant.
The Federal Government will also contribute a relocation grant of
$312,850 for use in making relocation payments to reimburse persons
and businesses for moving expenses and certain losses of property.
It is recognized that the figures shown herein are estimated and
subject to revision. The Project temporary loan and/or any funds
borrowed by any and all of the means described above will include funds
to pay for property acquired by the Agency. The Agency will pay the
fair market value for all properties acquired. In the condemnation of
any real property, the Agency will comply with all of the provisions
of the statutes and the Constitution of the State of California rela-
tive to the exercise of the right of eminent domain.
