Each member and party to this Agreement is a governmental entity established by law with full powers of government and legislative, administrative, and other related fields. The purpose of this Agreement is to authorize the Coachella Valley Association of Governments pursuant to that Joint Powers Agreement, entered into on or about November, 1973 , and as restated and amended onjvyle 76, , 1989 , to manage and administer the Transportion Uniform Mitigation Fee Program and ordinances and resolutions pertaining to same. B. Each member and party to this agreement finds that future development within the Coachella Valley to the year 2010 will result in traffic volumes in excess of capacity on the regional system of streets, arterials and highways. C. The parties find that failure to expand the capacity of the existing circulation system will cause unacceptable levels of congestion on the streets, arterials and highways of the regional system. D. The parties find that existing and future sources of revenue are inadequate to fund substantial portions of the regional transportation system improvements needed to avoid unacceptable levels of congestion and related adverse impacts. E. The parties find and declare that the Coachella Valley Area Transportation Study has determined the extent to which the new development of land will generate traffic volumes impacting the roadway system by the year 2010 and have determined that the Transportation Uniform Mitigation KLA7/26/mpb/5/3/89 -2- Fee Ordinance (Exhibit A) establishes a fair and equitable method to fund costs of transportation improvements necessary to accommodate the traffic volumes generated by future development of land within each city and county and within the Coachella Valley. F. The parties find and determine that exactions from development will construct only a portion of local and regional facilities and that adoption of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fes Ordinance is necessary to insure the additional revenues needed to construct the improvements and accommodate traffic generated by land development. G.

H. The parties hereto recognize that, in order to serve the purposes stated herein, additional funding, other than that received from the above described fee, must be obtained.
