income public housing program in the City of Dublin; and

of October 31, 1986 ("the Cooperation Agreement"), pursuant to which the Authority and the
City agreed to the conditions under which the Authority would acquire and administer the
Project; and

Authority, the City must terminate the authorization for the Authority to transact business in
the City and consent to HACA's operation within the boundaries of the City; and
WHEREAS, in order to effectuate the consolidation of the activities of HACA and the
Authority, the City must consent to the assignment of any agreements between the City and
