Additionally, the MOU addressed the proposed budget for the first five years of the SBVEZ. On January 10,2007, HCD issued the SBVEZ conditional designation status retroactive to October 15, 2006. This date coincides with the expiration date of the Agua Mansa Enterprise Zone ("AMEZ"), and since a portion of the former AMEZ overlaps the SBVEZ, HCD allowed the SBVEZ to use October 15, 2006, as the official designation date. On January 10, 2008, all conditions were completed and submitted to HCD for final approval. On January 22, 2008, while HCD was preparing the SBVEZ's MOU with HCD, the City authorized the submittal of a boundary modification to HCD to modify the original SBVEZ application boundary. The boundary modification enabled the City to expand its portion of the SBVEZ. On October 16, 2008, the boundary modification was approved by HCD. On November 17, 2008, HCD's MOU was approved by the Council. On March 5, 2009, HCD signed the MOU and issued the SBVEZ its final designation status to take effect on October 15,2006. CURRENT ISSUE: Senate Bill No. 2023, which was signed into law by Governor Wilson on September 27, 1997, was designed to strengthen the California Enterprise Program. A provision of this legislation allows each enterprise zone to designate a Targeted Employment Area ("TEA"). Enterprise Zone employers that hire any TEA resident will be able to claim a State tax credit for those persons hired. The TEA is composed of census tracts where at least 51 percent of each tract's residents are low- and moderate- income, as defined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). The legislation requires that census data that was available at the time of the original zone application in 2006 be used, thus 2000 census data was used to determine eligible census tracts. Since the City, the City of Colton and the County of San Bernardino are parties to the SBVEZ, the Resolution must approve the eligible Census Tract locations within all three jurisdictions. The attached map shows the Census Tracts as listed in the Resolution.

ENVIRONMENT AL IMPACT: The SBVEZ land use designations and project description conform to the City's General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report, certified November I, 2005. No further environmental analysis is required. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this recommendation will have no impact on the City's General Fund. RECOMMENDA nON: That the Mayor and Common Council adopt the attached Resolution. ~ 8+L() Emil A.
