FINANCING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PLEASANTON AND THE <br />PLEASANTON UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT <br />THIS AGREEMENT is made 2002 between the City of Pleasanton, a <br />Municipal Corporation (City) and the Pleasanton Unified School District, a public entity <br />(District) concerning a joint financing plan for the Vineyard Avenue Corridor <br />infrastructure. <br />RECITALS <br />A. City adopted the Vineyard Avenue Specific Plan (the Specific Plan) on June <br />1, 1999 to guide future development within the Specific Plan Area (Plan Area). The <br />Specific Plan sets forth land uses, infrastructure and policies governing future <br />development of the lands within the Plan Area, a key element of which is the <br />realignment of Vineyard Avenue. The Specific Plan also allocates to the District its <br />share of the costs for the Specific Plan's infrastructure. The allocation of the District's <br />share of the Specific Plan's infrastructure costs are incorporated herein by this <br />reference. <br />B. The Specific Plan contemplated that one or more private developers of <br />property in the Plan Area would front construction of the realignment of Vineyard <br />Avenue and the utilities within the Plan Area but the downturn in the economy in 2001 <br />led the developers to postpone planned development within the Plan Area. <br />C. The District has planned an elementary school within the Plan Area, has <br />purchased property therefor, has negotiated a financing program for the school's <br />construction; and the school requires much of the road and utility improvements <br />planned within the realigned Vineyard Avenue to be constructed in order for the school <br />construction to proceed. <br />D. City and District have explored options to fund and construct the realigned <br />Vineyard Avenue and selected utility segments. Funding by City and District for these <br />improvements, as described herein, may exceed their respective ultimate pro rata <br />shares of the cost of such improvements, making City and District eligible for <br />reimbursement dependent on the ultimate development of the property within the Plan <br />Area. <br />E. PG&E has planned a 230 kV transmission line in the Vineyard Corridor and <br />has received approval from the State of California Public Utilities Commission to <br />construct this line in the realigned 'vineyard Avenue, if available in the summer of 2002; <br />otherwise, to construct the line in the existing Vineyard Avenue. <br />F. City and District prefer the line to be constructed in the realigned Vineyard <br />Avenue and are willing to fund construction of the realignment and related utilities in <br />order that PG&E may utilize the realigned Vineyard Avenue for the line. <br />
