DETERMINING THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY OF CONSTRUCTION
AND COMPLETION OF MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR FLOOD CONTROL,
AND FOR DISASTER PREPAREDNESS, DISABLED ACCESS, SAFETY, AND
SECURITY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING CITY BUILDINGS
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Burlingame:
WHEREAS, the City Council has undertaken a study of the capital facility needs of the
City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined, based upon citizen input, the
recommendations of the City Manager, Director of Public Works, the Police Department, the
Fire Department, and other City departments, the studies of expert professionals in the fields of
engineering and other information, that the public interest and necessity demand improvements
to aging and under -capacity flood control infrastructure; and for disaster preparedness, disabled
access, safety, and security; and
WHEREAS, although the City expects to contribute other City moneys to these public
safety and facility improvements, the amount of available funds will be insufficient to meet the
identified capital needs; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires and expects to order and conduct a special
municipal bond election within the City in order to place a proposition before the City's voters
for incurring bonded debt to pay for the work of such municipal improvements;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
Section 1. Recitals. All of the above recitals are true and this City Council so finds.
Section 2. Finding of Public Interest and Necessitv. The public interest and necessity
demand the design, construction, and completion by the City of the following municipal
improvements: improvements to aging and under -capacity flood control infrastructure, for
disaster preparedness, disabled access, safety, and security improvements to City buildings,
including acquisition and/or construction of facilities, other works, property or structures
necessary or convenient for said flood control improvements. These municipal improvements
constitute and are hereby approved as the City's plan of improvements proposed to be funded
from a bond issue at this time.
Section 3. Authority to Incur Indebtedness. The estimated cost of the acquisition,
construction and completion of the municipal improvements to be funded from bonds is
$44,000,000; and such cost will be too great to be paid out of the ordinary annual income and
revenue of the City, and will require an expenditure greater than the amount allowed therefor by
the annual tax levy, and the City should incur a bonded indebtedness for these municipal
improvements.
Section 4. Effective Date. Upon a two-thirds vote of all of the members of the City
Council, this resolution shall take effect immediately.
