LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 662, as amended, Atkins. Local government: redevelopment: successor agencies to redevelopment agencies.

(1) Existing law authorizes the creation of infrastructure financing districts, as defined, for the sole purpose of financing public facilities, subject to adoption of a resolution by the legislative body and affected taxing entities proposed to be subject to the division of taxes and voter approval requirements. Existing law prohibits an infrastructure financing district from including any portion of a redevelopment project area.

This bill would delete that prohibition and would authorize a district to finance a project or portion of a project that is located in, or overlaps with, a redevelopment project area or former redevelopment project area, as specified.

(2) Existing law dissolved redevelopment agencies and community development agencies as of February 1, 2012, and provides for the designation of successor agencies to wind down the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment agencies and to, among other things, make payments due for enforceable obligations and to perform obligations required pursuant to any enforceable obligation. Existing law prohibits a successor agency from entering into contracts with, incur obligations, or make commitments to, any entity, as specified, or to amend or modify existing agreements, obligations, or commitments with any entity, for any purpose.

This bill would authorize a successor agency, if the successor agency has received a finding of completion, to enter into, or amend existing, contracts and agreements, or otherwise administer projects in connection with long-term enforceable obligations, if the contract, agreement, or project will not commit new tax funds or otherwise adversely affect the flow of specified tax revenues or payments to the taxing agencies. The bill would require the successor agency to notify the oversight board at least 10 days prior to entering into or amending a contract or agreement under these provisions. The bill would authorize the oversight board to notify the successor agency during that 10-day period that the board intends to conduct a hearing to determine whether the contract or agreement will not commit new tax funds or otherwise adversely affect the flow of property tax revenues or payments to the taxing agencies and would require the board to hold the hearing and issue findings within 30 days after it so notified the successor agency.

(3) Existing law requires a successor agency to submit a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule to the Department of Finance, and requires the successor agency to make payments pursuant to that schedule.

This bill would authorize the successor agency to schedule Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule payments beyond the existing Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule cycle upon a showing that a lender requires cash on hand beyond the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule cycle, or when a payment is shown to be due during the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule period. The bill would authorize the successor agency to utilize reasonable estimates and projections to support payment amounts where a payment is shown to be due during the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule period but an invoice or other billing document has not been received, if the successor agency submits appropriate supporting documentation for the basis of the estimate or projection to the department. The bill would provide that a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule may also include appropriation of moneys from bonds subject to passage during the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule cycle when an enforceable obligation requires the agency to issue the bonds and use the proceeds to pay for project expenditures.

(4) Existing law requires that specified actions of a successor agency be first approved by its oversight board, including, among others, the establishment of a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule.

This bill would require a successor agency to notify the board 10 days prior to entering into a contract or agreement for the use or disposition of specified properties. The bill would authorize the board to notify the successor agency during that 10-day period that the board intends to conduct a hearing to determine whether the contract or agreement is consistent with the successor agency’s long-range property management plan and would require the board to hold the hearing and issue findings within 30 days after it so notified the successor agency.

(5) Existing law requires the county auditor-controller to determine the amount of property taxes that would have been allocated to each redevelopment agency if it had not been dissolved and to deposit this amount in a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund in the county. Existing law requires the conducting of a due diligence review to determine the unobligated balances available for transfer to affected taxing entities. Existing law requires the county auditor-controller for each fiscal year to allocate moneys in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund for passthrough payment obligations, enforceable obligations of the dissolved redevelopment agency, and administrative costs, as specified. Any remaining moneys in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund are required to be distributed as local property tax revenues to local agencies and school entities, as specified.

This bill would require that, on January 2, 2014, and twice yearly thereafter until June 1, 2018, funds be allocated to cover the housing entity administrative cost allowance of abegin delete city, county, or city and countyend deletebegin insert local housing authorityend insert that has assumed the housing duties of the former redevelopment agency, as specified, before remaining moneys are distributed to local agencies and school entities. The bill would define “housing entity administrative cost allowance” for these purposes. This bill would also exclude from the calculation of the amount distributed to taxing entities during the 2012-13 base year the amounts distributed to taxing entities pursuant to the due diligence review process. By imposing additional duties upon local public officials, the bill would create a state-mandated local program.

(6) Existing law requires a successor agency to prepare a long-range property management plan that addresses the disposition and use of the real properties of a former redevelopment agency and requires a transfer of the property to the city, county, or city and county if the plan directs the use or liquidation of the property for a project identified in an approved redevelopment plan, as specified.

This bill would specify that the term “identified in an approved redevelopment plan” includes properties listed in a community plan or a 5-year implementation plan.

(7) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

34177.  

Successor agencies are required to do all of the
15following:

16(a) Continue to make payments due for enforceable obligations.

17(1) On and after February 1, 2012, and until a Recognized
18Obligation Payment Schedule becomes operative, only payments
19required pursuant to an enforceable obligations payment schedule
20shall be made. The initial enforceable obligation payment schedule

23obligations excluded from the definition of enforceable obligations
24by paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 34171 shall be
25excluded from the enforceable obligations payment schedule and
26be removed from the last schedule adopted by the redevelopment

29subdivision. The enforceable obligation payment schedule may
30be amended by the successor agency at any public meeting and
31shall be subject to the approval of the oversight board as soon as
32the board has sufficient members to form a quorum. In recognition
33of the fact that the timing of the California Supreme Court’s ruling
34in the case California Redevelopment Association v. Matosantos
35(2011) 53 Cal.4th 231 delayed the preparation by successor
36agencies and the approval by oversight boards of the January 1,
372012, through June 30, 2012, Recognized Obligation Payment
38Schedule, a successor agency may amend the Enforceable
39Obligation Payment Schedule to authorize the continued payment
40of enforceable obligations until the time that the January 1, 2012,
P14   1through June 30, 2012, Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule

P19   1of any of the sums withheld pursuant to this paragraph to the
2affected taxing entities in accordance with paragraph (4) of
3subdivision (a) of Section 34183 upon notice by the department
4that a portion of the withheld balances are in excess of the amount
5of enforceable obligations. The county auditor-controller shall

8approved by the department. County auditor-controllers shall lack
9the authority to withhold any other amounts from the allocations
10provided for under Section 34183 or 34188 unless required by a
11court order.

18Obligation Payment Schedule period, but an invoice or other billing
19document has not yet been received, the successor agency may
20utilize reasonable estimates and projections to support payment
21amounts for enforceable obligations if the successor agency submits
22appropriate supporting documentation of the basis for the estimate
23or projection to the department.

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, from February 1,
232012, to July 1, 2012, and for each fiscal year thereafter, the county
24auditor-controller shall, after deducting administrative costs
25allowed under Section 34182 and Section 95.3 of the Revenue and
26Taxation Code, allocate moneys in each Redevelopment Property
27Tax Trust Fund as follows:

28(1) Subject to any prior deductions required by subdivision (b),
29first, the county auditor-controller shall remit from the
30Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund to each local agency and
31school entity an amount of property tax revenues in an amount
32equal to that which would have been received under Section 33401,
3333492.140, 33607, 33607.5, 33607.7, or 33676, as those sections
34read on January 1, 2011, or pursuant to any passthrough agreement
35between a redevelopment agency and a taxing entity that was

37that fiscal year, had the redevelopment agency existed at that time.
38The amount of the payments made pursuant to this paragraph shall
39be calculated solely on the basis of passthrough payment
40obligations, existing prior to the effective date of this part and
P22   1continuing as obligations of successor entities, shall occur no later
2than May 16, 2012, and no later than June 1, 2012, and each

7of producing revenues in an amount sufficient to make annual
8repayments of the principal of, and the interest on, any bonded
9indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property
10shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, the
11fund of that taxing entity. The amount of passthrough payments

21(A) Debt service payments scheduled to be made for tax
22allocation bonds.

23(B) Payments scheduled to be made on revenue bonds, but only

28in the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule that are required
29to be paid from former tax increment revenue.

10Fund allocation to that successor agency’s Redevelopment
11Obligation Retirement Fund, from other funds transferred from
12each redevelopment agency, and from funds that have or will
13become available through asset sales and all redevelopment
14operations, are insufficient to fund the payments required by

19shall verify whether the successor agency will have sufficient funds
20from which to service debts according to the Recognized
21Obligation Payment Schedule and shall report the findings to the
22Controller. If the Controller concurs that there are insufficient
23funds to pay required debt service, the amount of the deficiency

26exhausted, from amounts available for distribution for
27administrative costs in paragraphs (3) and (4), with those amounts
28in paragraph (3) to be exhausted first. If an agency, pursuant to

38for distribution for administrative costs in paragraphs (3) and (4)
39have all been exhausted.

P24   1(c) The county treasurer may loan any funds from the county
2treasury to the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund of the
3successor agency for the purpose of paying an item approved on
4the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule at the request of the
5Department of Finance that are necessary to ensure prompt
6payments of redevelopment agency debts. An enforceable
7obligation is created for repayment of those loans.

8(d) The Controller may recover the costs of audit and oversight
9required under this part from the Redevelopment Property Tax
10Trust Fund by presenting an invoice therefor to the county
11auditor-controller who shall set aside sufficient funds for and
12disburse the claimed amounts prior to making the next distributions
13to the taxing entities pursuant to Section 34188. Subject to the
14approval of the Director of Finance, the budget of the Controller
15may be augmented to reflect the reimbursement, pursuant to
16Section 28.00 of the Budget Act.

17(e) Within 10 days of each distribution of property tax, the
18county auditor-controller shall provide a report to the department
19regarding the distribution for each successor agency that includes
