Findings. California Communities hereby finds and declares the following: <br /> (a) The above recitals are true and correct. <br /> (b) Energy conservation efforts, including the promotion of energy-related Authorized <br /> Improvements to residential, commercial, industrial, or other real property, are necessary to <br /> address the issue of global climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in <br /> the County. <br /> (c) Water conservation efforts, including the promotion of water-related Authorized <br /> Improvements to residential, commercial, industrial, or other real property, are necessary to <br /> address the issue of chronic water shortages in California. <br /> (d) The upfront cost of making residential, commercial, industrial, or other real <br /> property more energy and water efficient, along with the fact that most commercial loans for that <br /> purpose are due on the sale of the property, prevents many property owners from installing <br /> Authorized Improvements. <br /> (e) A public purpose will be served by establishing a contractual assessment <br /> program, to be known as the CaliforniaFIRST Program, pursuant to which California <br /> Communities will finance the installation of Authorized Improvements to residential, commercial, <br /> industrial, or other real property in the County. <br /> Jones Hall, A Professional Law Corporation 11-24-09 <br /> 4 <br />
