A. By its Resolution No. 97-104, adopted December 11, 1997, the City
Council of the City of Palm Desert ("City") determined and declared the need
for a housing authority to function in the City and established the Palm Desert
Housing Authority ("Authority") in accordance with California Health and Safety
Code Section 34200 et. seq. (the "Law").
B. The City Council declared itself to be the Commissioners of the
Authority and further declared that all the rights, powers, duties, privileges and
immunities vested by the Law in commissioners of an authority shall be and are
vested by the Law in the City Council.
C. The City Council appointed the staff serving the City Council and the
Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency to be the staff of the Authority.
D. AB X1 26 was signed by the Governor of California on June 29, 2011,
making certain changes to the Community Redevelopment Law (Part 1 commencing
with Section 33000 of Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code including
adding Part 1.8 and Part 1.85 which effectively eliminate redevelopment agencies.

Cities filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of California (Califomia Redevelopment
Association, et al. v. Matosantos, et al. Case No. S194861) challenging the
constitutionality of AB X1 26. On December 29, 2011 the Supreme Court issued its
opinion in the Matosantos case largely upholding AB X1 26 and delayed the effective
dates in Part 1.85 for the elimination of redevelopment agencies to February 1, 2012.
