LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 107, as amended, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. begin delete Budget Act of 2015. end delete begin insert General Subject: Local government. end insert

begin insert

(1) 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.

end insert begin insert

This bill would provide that any action by the Department of Finance, that occurred on or after June 28, 2011, carrying out the department’s obligations under the provisions described above constitutes a department action for the preparation, development, or administration of the state budget and is exempt from the Administrative Procedures Act.

end insert begin insert

(2) Existing law defines “administrative cost allowance” for the purposes of successor agencies’ duties in the winding down of the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment agencies to mean an amount that is payable from property tax revenues up to a certain percentage of the property tax allocated to the successor agency on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule covering a specified period, and up to a certain percentage of the property tax allocated to the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund that is allocated to the successor agency for each fiscal year thereafter.

end insert begin insert

This bill would restate the definition of “administrative cost allowance” as the maximum amount of administrative costs that may be paid by a successor agency from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund in a fiscal year. This bill would, commencing July 1, 2016, and for each fiscal year thereafter, limit the administrative cost allowance to an amount not to exceed 3% of the actual property tax distributed to the successor agency for payment of approved enforceable obligations, reduced by the successor agency’s administrative cost allowance and loan payments made to the city, county, or city and county that created the redevelopment agency, as specified, and would limit a successor agency’s annual administrative costs to an amount not to exceed 50% of the total Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund distributed to pay enforceable obligations.

end insert begin insert

(3) Existing law excludes from the term “administrative cost allowance” any administrative costs that can be paid from bond proceeds or from sources other than property tax, any litigation expenses related to assets or obligations, settlements and judgments, and the costs of maintaining assets prior to disposition.

end insert begin insert

This bill would delete these exclusions and would further require the “administrative cost allowance” to be approved by the oversight board and to be the sole funding source for any legal expenses related to civil actions brought by the successor agency or the city, county, or city and county that created the former redevelopment agency contesting the validity of laws and actions dissolving and winding down the redevelopment agencies, as specified.

end insert begin insert

(4) Existing law specifies that the term “enforceable obligation” does not include any agreements, contracts, or arrangements between the city, county, or city and county that created the redevelopment agency and the former redevelopment agency, as specified. Notwithstanding this provision, existing law authorizes certain written agreements to be deemed enforceable obligations.

end insert begin insert

This bill would specify that an agreement between a city, county, or city and county that created the former redevelopment agency and the former redevelopment agency is an enforceable obligation if that agreement requires the former redevelopment agency to repay or fulfill an outstanding loan or development obligation imposed by a grant or loan awarded or issued by a federal agency to the city, county, or city and county which subsequently loaned or provided those funds to the former redevelopment agency.

end insert begin insert

This bill would additionally authorize written agreements entered into at the time of issuance, but in no event later than June 27, 2011, solely for the refunding or refinancing of other indebtedness obligations that existed prior to January 1, 2011, and solely for the purpose of securing or repaying the refunded or refinanced indebtedness obligations, to be deemed enforceable obligations. This bill would provide that an agreement entered into by the redevelopment agency prior to June 28, 2011, is an enforceable obligation if the agreement relates to state highway infrastructure improvements, as specified.

end insert begin insert

(5) Existing law authorizes the city, county, or city and county that authorized the creation of a redevelopment agency to loan or grant funds to a successor agency for administrative costs, enforceable obligations, or project-related expenses at the city’s discretion.

end insert begin insert

This bill would limit the authorization to loan or grant funds to the payment of administrative costs or enforceable obligations excluding loans approved pursuant to specified provisions, and only to the extent the successor agency receives an insufficient distribution from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund, or other approved sources of funding are insufficient, to pay approved enforceable obligations, as specified. This bill would require these loans to be repaid from the source of funds originally approved for payment of the underlying enforceable obligation, as specified. This bill would require the interest on these loans to be calculated on a fixed annual simple basis, and would specify the manner in which these loans are required to be repaid.

end insert begin insert

(6) Existing law provides for the transfer of housing assets and functions previously performed by the dissolved redevelopment agency to one of several specified public entities. Existing law authorizes the successor housing entity to designate the use of, and commit, proceeds from indebtedness that were issued for affordable housing purposes prior to January 1, 2011, and were backed by the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.

end insert begin insert

This bill would instead authorize a successor housing entity to designate the use of, and commit, proceeds from indebtedness that were issued for affordable housing purposes prior to June 28, 2011.

end insert begin insert

(7) Existing law authorizes the city, county, or city and county that created a redevelopment agency to elect to retain the housing assets and functions previously performed by the redevelopment agency. Existing law requires that any funds transferred to the housing successor, together with any funds generated from housing assets, be maintained in a separate Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund to be used in accordance with applicable housing-related provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law, except as specified. Existing law requires the housing successor to provide an annual independent financial audit of the fund to its governing body, and to post on its Internet Web site specified information.

end insert begin insert

This bill would require that posted information to also include specified amounts received by the city, county, or city and county.

end insert begin insert

(8) Existing law requires a successor agency to, among other things, prepare a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for payments on enforceable obligations for each 6-month fiscal period.

end insert begin insert

This bill would revise the timeline for the preparation of the required Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule to require the successor agency to prepare a schedule for a one year fiscal period, with the first of these periods beginning July 1, 2016, and would authorize the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule to be amended by the oversight board once per Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule period, if the oversight board makes a finding that a revision is necessary for the payment of approved enforceable obligations, as specified.

end insert begin insert

This bill would, beginning January 1, 2015, authorize successor agencies to submit a Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule, which shall list the remaining enforceable obligations of the successor agency and the total outstanding obligation and a schedule of remaining payments for each enforceable obligation, for approval by the oversight board and the Department of Finance if specified conditions are met. This bill would require the department to review the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule, as specified, and would require, upon approval by the department, the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule to establish the maximum amount of Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds to be distributed to the successor agency, as specified. This bill would authorize the successor agencies to submit no more than two requests to the department to amend the approved Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule, except as specified. This bill would also require the county auditor-controller to review the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and to continue to allocate moneys in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund in a specified order of priority.

end insert begin insert

(9) Existing law prohibits successor agencies from creating new enforceable obligations, except in compliance with an enforceable obligation that existed prior to June 28, 2011. Notwithstanding this provision, existing law authorizes successor agencies to create enforceable obligations to conduct the work of winding down the redevelopment agency, including hiring staff, acquiring necessary professional administrative services and legal counsel, and procuring insurance. Existing law finds and declares that these provisions, when enacted, were declaratory of existing law.

end insert begin insert

This bill, except as required by an enforceable obligation, would exclude certain work from the authorization to create enforceable obligations, and would prohibit a successor agency that is the city, county, or city and county that formed the redevelopment agency from creating enforceable obligations to repay loans entered into between the redevelopment agency and the city, county, or city and county, except as otherwise provided. This bill would delete those findings and declarations, and would apply the provisions described above retroactively to any successor agency or redevelopment agency actions occurring after June 27, 2012.

end insert begin insert

(10) Existing law authorizes a successor agency to petition the Department of Finance, if an enforceable obligation provides for an irrevocable commitment of property tax revenue and the allocation of those revenues is expected to occur over time, to provide written confirmation that its determination of this enforceable obligation as approved in a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule is final and conclusive.

end insert begin insert

This bill would require the successor agency to petition the department by electronic means and in a manner of the department’s choosing, and would require the successor agency to provide a copy of the petition to the county auditor-controller, as provided. This bill would require the department to provide written confirmation of approval or denial of the request within 100 days of the date of the request.

end insert begin insert

(11) Existing law provides that agreements, contracts, or arrangements between the city or county, or city and county that created the redevelopment agency and the redevelopment agency are invalid and shall not be binding on the successor agency, except that a successor entity wishing to enter or reenter into agreements with the city, county, or city and county that formed the redevelopment agency may do so upon obtaining approval of its oversight board. Existing law prohibits a successor agency or an oversight board from exercising these powers to restore funding for an enforceable obligation that was deleted or reduced by the Department of Finance, as provided.

end insert begin insert

This bill would delete that prohibition, and would provide that a duly authorized written agreement entered into at the time of issuance, but in no event later than June 27, 2011, of indebtedness obligations solely for the refunding or refinancing of indebtedness obligations that existed prior to January 1, 2011, and solely for the purpose of securing or repaying the refunded and refinanced indebtedness obligations, is valid and may bind the successor agency.

end insert begin insert

This bill would prohibit an oversight board from approving any agreements between the successor agency and the city, county, or city and county that formed the redevelopment agency, except as otherwise provided, and would prohibit a successor agency from entering or reentering into any agreements with the city, county, or city and county that formed the redevelopment agency, except as otherwise provided. This bill would also prohibit a successor agency or an oversight board from exercising any powers to restore funding for any item that was denied or reduced by the Department of Finance. This bill would apply these provisions retroactively to all agreements entered or reentered on and after June 27, 2012.

end insert begin insert

(12) Existing law authorizes the Department of Finance to review an oversight board action and requires written notice and information about all actions taken by an oversight board to be provided to the department by electronic means and in a manner of the department’s choosing.

end insert begin insert

This bill would require the written notice and information described above to be provided to the department as an approved resolution. This bill would provide that oversight boards are not required to submit certain actions for department approval.

end insert begin insert

(13) Existing law requires, on and after July 1, 2016, in each county where more than one oversight board was created, as provided, that there be only one oversight board.

end insert begin insert

This bill, except as otherwise provided, commencing on and after July 1, 2018, if more than one oversight board exists within a county, would require the oversight board to be staffed by the county auditor-controller, by another county entity selected by the county auditor-controller, or by a city within the county selected by the county auditor-controller, as specified. This bill would authorize the county auditor-controller, if only one successor agency exists within the county, to designate the successor agency to staff the oversight board. This bill, commencing July 1, 2018, in each county where more than 40 oversight boards were created, would require 5 oversight boards, as specified.

end insert begin insert

(14) Existing law requires an oversight board for a successor agency to cease to exist when all of the indebtedness of the dissolved redevelopment agency has been repaid.

end insert begin insert

This bill would instead generally require an oversight board to cease to exist when the successor agency has been formally dissolved, as specified, and would require a county oversight board to cease to exist when all successor agencies subject to its oversight have been formally dissolved, as specified.

end insert begin insert

(15) Existing law, upon full payment by a successor agency of specified amounts due, requires the Department of Finance to issue a finding of completion, as specified, within 5 days.

end insert begin insert

This bill, if a successor agency fails by December 31, 2015, to pay, or to enter into a written installment plan with the Department of Finance for payment of specified amounts, would prohibit the successor agency from ever receiving a finding of completion. This bill, if a successor agency, city, county, or city and county pays, or enters into a written installment plan with the Department of Finance for the payment of specified amounts and the successor agency, city, county, or city and county subsequently receives a final judicial determination that reduces or eliminates the amounts determined, would require an enforceable obligation to be created for the reimbursement of the excess amounts paid and the obligation to make any payments in excess of the amount determined by a final determination to be canceled. This bill, if upon consultation with the county auditor-controller, the Department of Finance finds that a successor agency, city, county, or city and county has failed to fully make one or more payments agreed to in the written installment plan, would prohibit specified provisions from applying to the successor agency and would prohibit specified oversight board actions and any approved long-range property management plan from being effective.

end insert begin insert

(16) Existing law transfers all assets, properties, contracts, leases, books and records, buildings, and equipment of former redevelopment agencies, as of February 1, 2012, to the control of the successor agency for administration, as specified.

end insert begin insert

This bill would require the city, county, or city and county that created the former redevelopment agency to return to the successor agency certain assets, cash, and cash equivalents that were not required by an enforceable obligation, as specified, and other money or assets that were not required or authorized pursuant to an effective oversight board action or Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule. This bill would authorize certain amounts required to be returned to the successor agency to be placed on a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule by the successor agency for payment as an enforceable obligation subject to specified conditions.

end insert begin insert

(17) Existing law requires a request by a successor agency to enter into an agreement with the city, county, or city and county that formed the redevelopment agency to first be approved by the oversight board. Existing law provides that actions to reestablish any other agreements that are in furtherance of enforceable obligations with the city, county, or city and county that formed the redevelopment agency are invalid until they are included in an approved and valid Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule.

end insert begin insert

This bill would also require a request by the successor agency to reenter into an agreement as described above to first be approved by the oversight board. This bill would also provide that actions to establish any other authorized agreements, as specified, are invalid until they are included in an approved and valid Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule.

end insert begin insert

(18) Existing law requires the oversight board to direct the successor agency to, among other things, dispose of all assets and properties of the former redevelopment agency, except that the oversight board is authorized to instead direct the successor agency to transfer ownership of those assets that were constructed and used for a governmental purpose, such as roads, school buildings, parks, police and fire stations, libraries, and local agency administrative buildings, to the appropriate public jurisdiction, as provided.

end insert begin insert

This bill would expand that authorization to include parking facilities and lots dedicated solely to public parking that do not include properties that generate revenues in excess of reasonable maintenance costs of the properties. This bill would authorize a successor agency to amend its long-range property management plan once, solely to allow for retention of real properties that constitute public parking lots, as provided. This bill would provide that a city, county, city and county, or parking district shall not be required to reimburse or pay a successor agency for any funds spent by a former redevelopment agency, as specified, to design and construct a parking facility.

end insert begin insert

(19) Existing law requires, from February 1, 2012, to July 1, 2012, inclusive, and for each fiscal year thereafter, the county auditor-controller, after deducting administrative costs, to allocate property tax revenues in each Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund first to each local agency and school entity, as provided.

end insert begin insert

This bill would require certain revenues attributable to a property tax rate approved by the voters of a city, county, city and county, or special district to make payments in support of pension programs or in support of capital projects and programs related to the State Water Project and levied in addition to the general property tax rate, be allocated to, and when collected be paid into, the fund of that taxing entity, unless those amounts are pledged as security for the payment of any indebtedness obligation.

end insert begin insert

(20) Existing law requires certain estimates and accounts reported in a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and transferred to the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund to be subject to audit by the county auditor-controller and the Controller.

end insert begin insert

This bill would instead require the estimates and accounts described above to be reviewed by the county auditor-controller subject to the Department of Finance’s review and approval. This bill would require a successor agency, commencing October 1, 2018, and each October 1 thereafter, to submit the differences between actual payments and past estimated obligations on a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule to the county auditor-controller for review, and would require the county-auditor controller to provide this information to the Department of Finance, as specified.

end insert begin insert

(21) Existing law requires a successor agency, when all of the debt of a redevelopment agency has been retired or paid off, to dispose of all remaining assets and terminate its existence within one year of the final debt payment.

end insert begin insert

This bill would instead require, when all of the enforceable obligations have been retired or paid off, all real property has been disposed of, and all outstanding litigation has been resolved, the successor agency to submit to the oversight board a request, with a copy of the request to the county auditor-controller, to formally dissolve the successor agency. This bill would also require, if a redevelopment agency was not previously allocated property tax revenue, as specified, the successor agency to submit to the oversight board a request to formally dissolve the successor agency. This bill would require the oversight board to approve these requests within 30 days and to submit the request to the Department of Finance for approval or denial, as specified. This bill would require the successor agency to take specified steps, including notifying the oversight board, when the department approves a request to formally dissolve a successor agency. This bill would require the oversight board, upon receipt of notification from the successor agency, to make certain verifications and adopt a final resolution of dissolution for the successor agency, as specified. This bill would, when a successor agency is finally dissolved, with respect to any existing community facilities district formed by a redevelopment agency, require the legislative body of the city or county that formed the redevelopment agency to become the legislative body of the community facilities district, and any existing obligations of the former redevelopment agency or its successor agency to become the obligations of the new legislative body of the community facilities district.

end insert begin insert

(22) Existing law, with respect to any successor agency that has been issued a finding of completion by the Department of Finance, deems loan agreements entered into between the redevelopment agency and the city, county, or city and county that created the redevelopment agency to be an enforceable obligation, as provided. Existing law specifies the manner in which the interest on the loan should be calculated and how the loan should be repaid. Existing law requires repayments received by the city, county, or city and county that formed the redevelopment agency to be used to retire certain outstanding amounts borrowed and owed, including a distribution to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund, as provided. Existing law requires bond proceeds derived from bonds issued on or before December 31, 2010, to be used for the purposes for which the bonds were sold.

end insert begin insert

This bill would define “loan agreement” for the purposes described above, would specify the types of documents demonstrating valid loan agreements, and would prohibit the Department of Finance from requesting more than one of these documents to prove a valid loan agreement. This bill would change the manner in which the interest on the loan is calculated, and would require moneys repaid to be applied first to the principal and second to the interest. This bill would require distributions to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund to be subject to specified reporting requirements. This bill would require bond proceeds derived from bonds issued on or before December 31, 2010, in excess of the amounts needed to satisfy approved enforceable obligations, to be expended in a manner consistent with the original bond covenants. This bill would require bond proceeds derived from bonds issued on or after January 1, 2011, in excess of amounts needed to satisfy approved enforceable obligations, to be used in a manner consistent with the original bond covenants subject to specified conditions. This bill would apply these provisions, and the provisions relating to any successor agency that has been issued a finding of completion by the Department of Finance described above, retroactively to actions occurring on or after June 28, 2011. This bill would also provide that specified changes to existing law shall not result in the denial of specified loans previously approved by the Department of Finance and shall not impact judgments, writs of mandate, and orders entered by the Sacramento Superior Court in specified lawsuits.

end insert begin insert

(23) 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 the former redevelopment agency.

end insert begin insert

This bill would require, if the former redevelopment agency did not have real properties, the successor agency to prepare a long-range property management plan, as provided.

end insert begin insert

(24) Existing law authorizes successor agencies to, among other things, issue bonds or incur indebtedness to refund the bonds or indebtedness of a former redevelopment agency or to finance debt service spikes, as specified. The issuance of bonds or incurrence of other indebtedness by a successor agency is subject to the approval of the oversight board of the successor agency.

end insert begin insert

This bill would authorize the successor agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City and County of San Francisco to have the authority, rights, and powers of the Redevelopment Agency to which it succeeded solely for the purpose of issuing bonds or incurring other indebtedness to finance the construction of affordable housing and infrastructure required by specified agreements, subject to the approval of the oversight board. The bill would provide that bonds or other indebtedness authorized by its provisions would be considered indebtedness incurred by the dissolved redevelopment agency, would be listed on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule, and would be secured by a pledge of moneys deposited into the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund. The bill would also require the successor agency to make diligent efforts to obtain the lowest long-term cost financing and to make use of an independent financial advisor in developing financing proposals.

end insert begin insert

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City and County of San Francisco.

end insert begin insert

(25) Existing law requires the county auditor for a county for which a negative sum was calculated pursuant to a specified former statute, in reducing the amount of property tax revenue otherwise allocated to the county by an amount attributable to that negative sum, to apply a reduction amount equal to or based on the reduction amount determined for specified fiscal years.

end insert begin insert

This bill, for the 2015-16 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, would prohibit the county auditor from applying the reduction amount.

end insert begin insert

(26) Existing property tax law requires the county auditor, in each fiscal year, to allocate property tax revenue to local jurisdictions in accordance with specified formulas and procedures, and generally requires that each jurisdiction be allocated an amount equal to the total of the amount of revenue allocated to that jurisdiction in the prior fiscal year, subject to certain modifications, and that jurisdiction’s portion of the annual tax increment, as defined. Existing law provides for the computation, on the basis of these allocations, of apportionment factors that are applied to actual property tax revenues in each county in order to determine actual amounts of property tax revenue received by each recipient jurisdiction.

end insert begin insert

This bill would deem to be correct those property tax revenue apportionment factors that were applied in allocating property tax revenues in the County of San Benito for each fiscal year through the 2000-01 fiscal year. This bill would, notwithstanding specified audit requirements, require the county auditor to make the allocation adjustments identified in the State Controller’s audit of the County of San Benito for the 2001-02 fiscal year. The bill would additionally require property tax apportionment factors applied in allocating property tax revenue in the County of San Benito for the 2002-03 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter to be determined on the basis of apportionment factors for prior fiscal years that have been corrected or adjusted as would be required if those prior apportionment factors were not deemed correct by this bill.

end insert begin insert

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of San Benito.

end insert begin insert

(27) Existing property tax law reduces the amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue that would otherwise be annually allocated to the county, cities, and special districts pursuant to general allocation requirements by requiring, for purposes of determining property tax revenue allocations in each county for the 1992-93 and 1993-94 fiscal years, that the amounts of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to the county, cities, and special districts be reduced in accordance with certain formulas. It requires that the revenues not allocated to the county, cities, and special districts as a result of these reductions be transferred to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) in that county for allocation to school districts, community college districts, and the county office of education.

end insert begin insert

Existing property tax law requires the auditor of each county with qualifying cities, as defined, to make certain property tax revenue allocations to those cities in accordance with a specified Tax Equity Allocation (TEA) formula established in a specified statute and to make corresponding reductions in the amount of property tax revenue that is allocated to the county. Existing law requires the auditor of Santa Clara County, for the 2006-07 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, to reduce the amount of property tax revenue allocated to qualified cities in that county by the ERAF reimbursement amount, as defined, and to commensurately increase the amount of property tax revenue allocated to the county ERAF, as specified.

end insert begin insert

This bill would, instead, for the 2015-16 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, require the auditor of Santa Clara County to reduce the amount of property tax revenues that are required to be allocated from the qualified cities in that county to the county ERAF by a specified percentage of the ERAF reimbursement amount. This bill would prohibit the auditor of Santa Clara County from reducing the amounts allocated to the county ERAF in any fiscal year in which the amount of moneys required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts is determined pursuant to Test 1 of Proposition 98.

end insert begin insert

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Santa Clara.

end insert begin insert

(28) This bill would appropriate $23,750,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection contingent upon the County of Riverside agreeing to forgive amounts owed to it by certain cities.

end insert begin insert

(29) By imposing new duties upon local government officials with respect to the wind down of the dissolved redevelopment agencies, and in the annual allocation of ad valorem property tax revenues, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

end insert begin insert

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.

end insert begin insert

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.

successor agency, with the approval or at the direction of the
oversight board, or the oversight board itself from terminating any

Redevelopment Law that are repealed, restricted, or revised
pursuant to the act adding this part, all authority, rights, powers,
duties, and obligations previously vested with the former
redevelopment agencies, under the Community Redevelopment
Law, are hereby vested in the successor agencies.

(c) (1) If the redevelopment agency was in the form of a joint
powers authority, and if the joint powers agreement governing the
formation of the joint powers authority addresses the allocation of
assets and liabilities upon dissolution of the joint powers authority,
then each of the entities that created the former redevelopment
agency may be a successor agency within the meaning of this part
and each shall have a share of assets and liabilities based on the
provisions of the joint powers agreement.

(2) If the redevelopment agency was in the form of a joint
powers authority, and if the joint powers agreement governing the
formation of the joint powers authority does not address the
allocation of assets and liabilities upon dissolution of the joint
powers authority, then each of the entities that created the former
redevelopment agency may be a successor agency within the
meaning of this part, a proportionate share of the assets and
liabilities shall be based on the assessed value in the project areas
within each entity’s jurisdiction, as determined by the county
assessor, in its jurisdiction as compared to the assessed value of
land within the boundaries of the project areas of the former
redevelopment agency.

(d) (1) A city, county, city and county, or the entities forming
the joint powers authority that authorized the creation of each
redevelopment agency may elect not to serve as a successor agency
under this part. A city, county, city and county, or any member of
a joint powers authority that elects not to serve as a successor
agency under this part must file a copy of a duly authorized
resolution of its governing board to that effect with the county
auditor-controller no later than January 13, 2012.

(2) The determination of the first local agency that elects to
become the successor agency shall be made by the county
auditor-controller based on the earliest receipt by the county
auditor-controller of a copy of a duly adopted resolution of the
local agency’s governing board authorizing such an election. As
used in this section, “local agency” means any city, county, city
and county, or special district in the county of the former
redevelopment agency.

(3) (A) If no local agency elects to serve as a successor agency
for a dissolved redevelopment agency, a public body, referred to
herein as a “designated local authority” shall be immediately
formed, pursuant to this part, in the county and shall be vested
with all the powers and duties of a successor agency as described
in this part. The Governor shall appoint three residents of the
county to serve as the governing board of the authority. The
designated local authority shall serve as successor agency until a
local agency elects to become the successor agency in accordance
with this section.

(B) Designated local authority members are protected by the
immunities applicable to public entities and public employees
governed by Part 1 (commencing with Section 810) and Part 2
(commencing with Section 814) of Division 3.6 of Title 1 of the
Government Code.

the joint powers authority that authorized the creation of a
redevelopment agency and that elected not to serve as the successor
agency under this part, may subsequently reverse this decision and

Any reversal of this decision shall not become effective for 60
days after notice has been given to the current successor agency
and the oversight board and shall not invalidate any action of the
successor agency or oversight board taken prior to the effective
date of the transfer of responsibility.

(e) The liability of any successor agency, acting pursuant to the
powers granted under the act adding this part, shall be limited to
the extent of the total sum of property tax revenues it receives
pursuant to this part and the value of assets transferred to it as a
successor agency for a dissolved redevelopment agency.

(f) Any existing cleanup plans and liability limits authorized
under the Polanco Redevelopment Act (Article 12.5 (commencing
with Section 33459) of Chapter 4 of Part 1) shall be transferred to
the successor agency and may be transferred to the successor
housing entity at that entity’s request.

(g) A successor agency is a separate public entity from the public
agency that provides for its governance and the two entities shall
not merge. The liabilities of the former redevelopment agency
shall not be transferred to the sponsoring entity and the assets shall
not become assets of the sponsoring entity. A successor agency
has its own name, can be sued, and can sue. All litigation involving
a redevelopment agency shall automatically be transferred to the
successor agency. The separate former redevelopment agency
employees shall not automatically become sponsoring entity
employees of the sponsoring entity and the successor agency shall
retain its own collective bargaining status. As successor entities,
successor agencies succeed to the organizational status of the
former redevelopment agency, but without any legal authority to
participate in redevelopment activities, except to complete any
work related to an approved enforceable obligation. Each successor
agency shall be deemed to be a local entity for purposes of the

elects to retain the authority to perform housing functions
previously performed by a redevelopment agency, all rights,
powers, duties, obligations, and housing assets, as defined in
subdivision (e), excluding any amounts on deposit in the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund and enforceable obligations
retained by the successor agency, shall be transferred to the city,
county, or city and county.

(2) The housing successor shall submit to the Department of
Finance by August 1, 2012, a list of all housing assets that contains
an explanation of how the assets meet the criteria specified in
subdivision (e). The Department of Finance shall prescribe the
format for the submission of the list. The list shall include assets
transferred between February 1, 2012, and the date upon which
the list is created. The department shall have up to 30 days from
the date of receipt of the list to object to any of the assets or
transfers of assets identified on the list. If the Department of
Finance objects to assets on the list, the housing successor may
request a meet and confer process within five business days of
receiving the department objection. If the transferred asset is
deemed not to be a housing asset as defined in subdivision (e), it
shall be returned to the successor agency. If a housing asset has
been previously pledged to pay for bonded indebtedness, the
successor agency shall maintain control of the asset in order to
pay for the bond debt.

(3) For purposes of this section and Section 34176.1, “housing
successor” means the entity assuming the housing function of a
former redevelopment agency pursuant to this section.

(b) If a city, county, or city and county does not elect to retain
the responsibility for performing housing functions previously
performed by a redevelopment agency, all rights, powers, assets,
duties, and obligations associated with the housing activities of
the agency, excluding enforceable obligations retained by the
successor agency and any amounts in the Low and Moderate
Income Housing Fund, shall be transferred as follows:

(1) If there is no local housing authority in the territorial
jurisdiction of the former redevelopment agency, to the Department
of Housing and Community Development.

(2) If there is one local housing authority in the territorial
jurisdiction of the former redevelopment agency, to that local
housing authority.

(3) If there is more than one local housing authority in the
territorial jurisdiction of the former redevelopment agency, to the
local housing authority selected by the city, county, or city and
county that authorized the creation of the redevelopment agency.

(c) Commencing on the operative date of this part, the housing
successor may enforce affordability covenants and perform related
activities pursuant to applicable provisions of the Community
Redevelopment Law (Part 1 (commencing with Section 33000)),
including, but not limited to, Section 33418.

(d) Except as specifically provided in Section 34191.4, any
funds transferred to the housing successor, together with any funds
generated from housing assets, as defined in subdivision (e), shall
be maintained in a separate Low and Moderate Income Housing
Asset Fund which is hereby created in the accounts of the housing
successor.

(e) For purposes of this part, “housing asset” includes all of the
following:

(1) Any real property, interest in, or restriction on the use of
real property, whether improved or not, and any personal property
provided in residences, including furniture and appliances, all
housing-related files and loan documents, office supplies, software
licenses, and mapping programs, that were acquired for low- and
moderate-income housing purposes, either by purchase or through
a loan, in whole or in part, with any source of funds.

(2) Any funds that are encumbered by an enforceable obligation
to build or acquire low- and moderate-income housing, as defined
by the Community Redevelopment Law (Part 1 (commencing with
Section 33000)) unless required in the bond covenants to be used
for repayment purposes of the bond.

(3) Any loan or grant receivable, funded from the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund, from homebuyers, homeowners,
nonprofit or for-profit developers, and other parties that require
occupancy by persons of low or moderate income as defined by
the Community Redevelopment Law (Part 1 (commencing with
Section 33000)).

(4) Any funds derived from rents or operation of properties
acquired for low- and moderate-income housing purposes by other
parties that were financed with any source of funds, including
residual receipt payments from developers, conditional grant
repayments, cost savings and proceeds from refinancing, and
principal and interest payments from homebuyers subject to
enforceable income limits.

(5) A stream of rents or other payments from housing tenants
or operators of low- and moderate-income housing financed with
any source of funds that are used to maintain, operate, and enforce
the affordability of housing or for enforceable obligations
associated with low- and moderate-income housing.

(6) (A) Repayments of loans or deferrals owed to the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to subparagraph (G) of
paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) of Section 34171, which shall be
used consistent with the affordable housing requirements in the
Community Redevelopment Law (Part 1 (commencing with

maximum repayment amount authorized each fiscal year for
repayments made pursuant to this paragraph and subdivision (b)
of Section 34191.4 combined shall be equal to one-half of the
increase between the amount distributed to taxing entities pursuant
to paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section 34183 in that fiscal
year and the amount distributed to taxing entities pursuant to that
paragraph in the 2012-13 base year. Loan or deferral repayments
made pursuant to this paragraph shall take priority over amounts
to be repaid pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 34191.4.

(f) If a development includes both low- and moderate-income
housing that meets the definition of a housing asset under
subdivision (e) and other types of property use, including, but not
limited to, commercial use, governmental use, open space, and
parks, the oversight board shall consider the overall value to the
community as well as the benefit to taxing entities of keeping the
entire development intact or dividing the title and control over the
property between the housing successor and the successor agency
or other public or private agencies. The disposition of those assets
may be accomplished by a revenue-sharing arrangement as
approved by the oversight board on behalf of the affected taxing
entities.

(g) (1) (A) The housing successor may designate the use of
and commit indebtedness obligation proceeds that remain after the
satisfaction of enforceable obligations that have been approved in
a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and that are consistent
with the indebtedness obligation covenants. The proceeds shall be
derived from indebtedness obligations that were issued for the
purposes of affordable housing prior to begin delete January 1, end delete begin insert June 28, end insert 2011,
and were backed by the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.
Enforceable obligations may be satisfied by the creation of reserves
for the projects that are the subject of the enforceable obligation

projects, or by expending funds to complete the projects. begin insert It is the
intent of the Legislature to authorize housing successors to
designate the use of and commit 100 percent of indebtedness
obligation proceeds described in this subparagraph. end insert

(B) The housing successor shall provide notice to the successor
agency of any designations of use or commitments of funds
specified in subparagraph (A) that it wishes to make at least 20
days before the deadline for submission of the Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule to the oversight board. Commitments
and designations shall not be valid and binding on any party until
they are included in an approved and valid Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule. The review of these designations and
commitments by the successor agency, oversight board, and
Department of Finance shall be limited to a determination that the
designations and commitments are consistent with bond covenants
and that there are sufficient funds available.

(2) Funds shall be used and committed in a manner consistent
with the purposes of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset
Fund. Notwithstanding any other law, the successor agency shall
retain and expend the excess housing obligation proceeds at the
discretion of the housing successor, provided that the successor
agency ensures that the proceeds are expended in a manner
consistent with the indebtedness obligation covenants and with
any requirements relating to the tax status of those obligations.
The amount expended shall not exceed the amount of indebtedness
obligation proceeds available and such expenditure shall constitute
the creation of excess housing proceeds expenditures to be paid
from the excess proceeds. Excess housing proceeds expenditures
shall be listed separately on the Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule submitted by the successor agency.

(h) This section shall not be construed to provide any stream of
tax increment financing.

(2) Notwithstanding Section 33334.2, if the housing successor
has fulfilled all obligations pursuant to Sections 33413 and 33418,
the housing successor may expend up to two hundred fifty thousand
dollars ($250,000) per fiscal year for homeless prevention and
rapid rehousing services for individuals and families who are
homeless or would be homeless but for this assistance, including
the provision of short-term or medium-term rental assistance,
housing relocation and stabilization services including housing
search, mediation, or outreach to property owners, credit repair,
security or utility deposits, utility payments, rental assistance for
a final month at a location, moving cost assistance, and case
management, or other appropriate activities for homelessness
prevention and rapid rehousing of persons who have become
homeless.

(3) (A) The housing successor shall expend all funds remaining
in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund after the
expenditures allowed pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) for the
development of housing affordable to and occupied by households
earning 80 percent or less of the area median income, with at least
30 percent of these remaining funds expended for the development
of rental housing affordable to and occupied by households earning
30 percent or less of the area median income and no more than 20
percent of these remaining funds expended for the development
of housing affordable to and occupied by households earning
between 60 percent and 80 percent of the area median income. A
housing successor shall demonstrate in the annual report described
in subdivision (f), for 2019, and every five years thereafter, that
the housing successor’s expenditures from January 1, 2014, through
the end of the latest fiscal year covered in the report comply with
the requirements of this subparagraph.

(B) If the housing successor fails to comply with the extremely
low income requirement in any five-year report, then the housing
successor shall ensure that at least 50 percent of these remaining
funds expended in each fiscal year following the latest fiscal year
following the report are expended for the development of rental
housing affordable to, and occupied by, households earning 30
percent or less of the area median income until the housing
successor demonstrates compliance with the extremely low income
requirement in an annual report described in subdivision (f).

(C) If the housing successor exceeds the expenditure limit for
households earning between 60 percent and 80 percent of the area
median income in any five-year report, the housing successor shall
not expend any of the remaining funds for households earning
between 60 percent and 80 percent of the area median income until
the housing successor demonstrates compliance with this limit in
an annual report described in subdivision (f).

(D) For purposes of this subdivision, “development” means new
construction, acquisition and rehabilitation, substantial
rehabilitation as defined in Section 33413, the acquisition of
long-term affordability covenants on multifamily units as described
in Section 33413, or the preservation of an assisted housing
development that is eligible for prepayment or termination or for
which within the expiration of rental restrictions is scheduled to
occur within five years as those terms are defined in Section
65863.10 of the Government Code. Units described in this
subparagraph may be counted towards any outstanding obligations
pursuant to Section 33413, provided that the units meet the
requirements of that section and are counted as provided in that
section.

(b) Subdivision (b) of Section 33334.4 shall not apply. Instead,
if the aggregate number of units of deed-restricted rental housing
restricted to seniors and assisted individually or jointly by the
housing successor, its former redevelopment agency, and its host
jurisdiction within the previous 10 years exceeds 50 percent of the
aggregate number of units of deed-restricted rental housing assisted
individually or jointly by the housing successor, its former
redevelopment agency, and its host jurisdiction within the same
time period, then the housing successor shall not expend these
funds to assist additional senior housing units until the housing
successor or its host jurisdiction assists, and construction has
commenced, a number of units available to all persons, regardless
of age, that is equal to 50 percent of the aggregate number of units
of deed-restricted rental housing units assisted individually or
jointly by the housing successor, its former redevelopment agency,
and its host jurisdiction within the time period described above.

(c) (1) Program income a housing successor receives shall not
be associated with a project area and, notwithstanding subdivision
(g) of Section 33334.2, may be expended anywhere within the
jurisdiction of the housing successor or transferred pursuant to
paragraph (2) without a finding of benefit to a project area. For
purposes of this paragraph, “program income” means the sources
described in paragraphs (3), (4), and (5) of subdivision (e) of
Section 34176 and interest earned on deposits in the account.

(2) Two or more housing successors within a county, within a
single metropolitan statistical area, within 15 miles of each other,
or that are in contiguous jurisdictions may enter into an agreement
to transfer funds among their respective Low and Moderate Income
Housing Asset Funds for the sole purpose of developing transit
priority projects as defined in subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section
21155 of the Public Resources Code, permanent supportive housing
as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 50675.14,
housing for agricultural employees as defined in subdivision (g)
of Section 50517.5, or special needs housing as defined in federal
or state law or regulation if all of the following conditions are met:

(A) Each participating housing successor has made a finding
based on substantial evidence, after a public hearing, that the
agreement to transfer funds will not cause or exacerbate racial,
ethnic, or economic segregation.

(B) The development to be funded shall not be located in a
census tract where more than 50 percent of its population is very
low income, unless the development is within one-half mile of a
major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor as defined in
paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 21155 of the Public
Resources Code.

(C) The completed development shall not result in a reduction
in the number of housing units or a reduction in the affordability
of housing units on the site where the development is to be built.

(D) A transferring housing successor shall not have any
outstanding obligations pursuant to Section 33413.

(E) No housing successor may transfer more than one million
dollars ($1,000,000) per fiscal year.

(F) The jurisdictions of the transferring and receiving housing
successors each have an adopted housing element that the
Department of Housing and Community Development has found
pursuant to Section 65585 of the Government Code to be in
substantial compliance with the requirements of Article 10.6
(commencing with Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of
Title 7 of the Government Code and have submitted to the
Department of Housing and Community Development the annual
progress report required by Section 65400 of the Government Code
within the preceding 12 months.

(G) Transferred funds shall only assist rental units affordable
to, and occupied by, households earning 60 percent or less of the
area median income.

(H) Transferred funds not encumbered within two years shall
be transferred to the Department of Housing and Community
Development for expenditure pursuant to the Multifamily Housing
Program or the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program.

(d) Sections 33334.10 and 33334.12 shall not apply. Instead, if
a housing successor has an excess surplus, the housing successor
shall encumber the excess surplus for the purposes described in
paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) or transfer the funds pursuant to
paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) within three fiscal years. If the
housing successor fails to comply with this subdivision, the housing
successor, within 90 days of the end of the third fiscal year, shall
transfer any excess surplus to the Department of Housing and
Community Development for expenditure pursuant to the
Multifamily Housing Program or the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker
Housing Grant Program. For purposes of this subdivision, “excess
surplus” shall mean an unencumbered amount in the account that
exceeds the greater of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or the
aggregate amount deposited into the account during the housing
successor’s preceding four fiscal years, whichever is greater.

(e) Section 33334.16 shall not apply to interests in real property
acquired on or after February 1, 2012. With respect to interests in
real property acquired by the former redevelopment agency prior
to February 1, 2012, the time periods described in Section 33334.16
shall be deemed to have commenced on the date that the
begin delete Department of Finance end delete begin insert department end insert approved the property as a
housing asset.

(f) Section 33080.1 of this code and Section 12463.3 of the
Government Code shall not apply. Instead, the housing successor
shall conduct, and shall provide to its governing body, an
independent financial audit of the Low and Moderate Income
Housing Asset Fund within six months after the end of each fiscal
year, which may be included in the independent financial audit of
the host jurisdiction. If the housing successor is a city or county,
it shall also include in its report pursuant to Section 65400 of the
Government Code and post on its Internet Web site all of the
following information for the previous fiscal year. If the housing
successor is not a city or county, it shall also provide to its

Successor agencies are required to do all of the
following:

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

(1) On and after February 1, 2012, and until a Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule becomes operative, only payments
required pursuant to an enforceable obligations payment schedule
shall be made. The initial enforceable obligation payment schedule
shall be the last schedule adopted by the redevelopment agency
under Section 34169. However, payments associated with
obligations excluded from the definition of enforceable obligations
by paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 34171 shall be
excluded from the enforceable obligations payment schedule and
be removed from the last schedule adopted by the redevelopment
agency under Section 34169 prior to the successor agency adopting
it as its enforceable obligations payment schedule pursuant to this
subdivision. The enforceable obligation payment schedule may
be amended by the successor agency at any public meeting and
shall be subject to the approval of the oversight board as soon as
the board has sufficient members to form a quorum. In recognition
of the fact that the timing of the California Supreme Court’s ruling
in the case California Redevelopment Association v. Matosantos
(2011) 53 Cal.4th 231 delayed the preparation by successor
agencies and the approval by oversight boards of the January 1,
2012, through June 30, 2012, Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule, a successor agency may amend the Enforceable
Obligation Payment Schedule to authorize the continued payment
of enforceable obligations until the time that the January 1, 2012,
through June 30, 2012, Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
has been approved by the oversight board and by the begin delete Department
of Finance. end delete begin insert department. end insert The successor agency may utilize
reasonable estimates and projections to support payment amounts
for enforceable obligations if the successor agency submits
appropriate supporting documentation of the basis for the estimate
or projection to the Department of Finance and the
auditor-controller.

(2) The begin delete Department of Finance end delete begin insert department, the county
auditor-controller, end insert and the Controller shall each have the authority
to require any documents associated with the enforceable
obligations to be provided to them in a manner of their choosing.
Any taxing entity, the department, and the Controller shall each
have standing to file a judicial action to prevent a violation under
this part and to obtain injunctive or other appropriate relief.

(3) Commencing on the date the Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule is valid pursuant to subdivision (l), only those payments
listed in the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule may be
made by the successor agency from the funds specified in the
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule. In addition, after it
becomes valid, the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall
supersede the Statement of Indebtedness, which shall no longer
be prepared nor have any effect under the Community
Redevelopment Law (Part 1 (commencing with Section 33000)).

(4) Nothing in the act adding this part is to be construed as
preventing a successor agency, with the prior approval of the
oversight board, as described in Section 34179, from making
payments for enforceable obligations from sources other than those
listed in the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule.

(5) From February 1, 2012, to July 1, 2012, a successor agency
shall have no authority and is hereby prohibited from accelerating
payment or making any lump-sum payments that are intended to
prepay loans unless such accelerated repayments were required
prior to the effective date of this part.

(b) Maintain reserves in the amount required by indentures,
trust indentures, or similar documents governing the issuance of
outstanding redevelopment agency bonds.

(c) Perform obligations required pursuant to any enforceable
obligation.

(d) Remit unencumbered balances of redevelopment agency
funds to the county auditor-controller for distribution to the taxing
entities, including, but not limited to, the unencumbered balance
of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund of a former
redevelopment agency. In making the distribution, the county
auditor-controller shall utilize the same methodology for allocation
and distribution of property tax revenues provided in Section
34188.

(e) Dispose of assets and properties of the former redevelopment
agency as directed by the oversight board; provided, however, that
the oversight board may instead direct the successor agency to
transfer ownership of certain assets pursuant to subdivision (a) of
Section 34181. The disposal is to be done expeditiously and in a
manner aimed at maximizing value. Proceeds from asset sales and
related funds that are no longer needed for approved development
projects or to otherwise wind down the affairs of the agency, each
as determined by the oversight board, shall be transferred to the
county auditor-controller for distribution as property tax proceeds
under Section 34188. The requirements of this subdivision shall
not apply to a successor agency that has been issued a finding of
completion by the begin delete Department of Finance end delete begin insert department end insert pursuant to
Section 34179.7.

(f) Enforce all former redevelopment agency rights for the
benefit of the taxing entities, including, but not limited to,
continuing to collect loans, rents, and other revenues that were due
to the redevelopment agency.

(g) Effectuate transfer of housing functions and assets to the
appropriate entity designated pursuant to Section 34176.

(h) Expeditiously wind down the affairs of the redevelopment
agency pursuant to the provisions of this part and in accordance
with the direction of the oversight board.

(i) Continue to oversee development of properties until the
contracted work has been completed or the contractual obligations
of the former redevelopment agency can be transferred to other
parties. Bond proceeds shall be used for the purposes for which
bonds were sold unless the purposes can no longer be achieved,
in which case, the proceeds may be used to defease the bonds.

(j) Prepare a proposed administrative budget and submit it to
the oversight board for its approval. The proposed administrative
budget shall include all of the following:

(1) Estimated amounts for successor agency administrative costs
for the upcoming six-month fiscal period.

(2) Proposed sources of payment for the costs identified in
paragraph (1).

(3) Proposals for arrangements for administrative and operations
services provided by a city, county, city and county, or other entity.

(k) Provide administrative cost estimates, from its approved
administrative budget that are to be paid from property tax revenues
deposited in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund, to the
county auditor-controller for each six-month fiscal period.

forth in subdivision (m) or (o), as applicable, end insert prepare a Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule in accordance with the requirements
of this paragraph. For each recognized obligation, the Recognized

(C) Reserve balances.

(D) Administrative cost allowance.

(E) The Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund, but only to
the extent no other funding source is available or when payment
from property tax revenues is required by an enforceable obligation
or by the provisions of this part.

(F) Other revenue sources, including rents, concessions, asset
sale proceeds, interest earnings, and any other revenues derived
from the former redevelopment agency, as approved by the
oversight board in accordance with this part.

(2) A Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall not be
deemed valid unless all of the following conditions have been met:

(A) A Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule is prepared
by the successor agency for the enforceable obligations of the
former redevelopment agency. The initial schedule shall project
the dates and amounts of scheduled payments for each enforceable
obligation for the remainder of the time period during which the
redevelopment agency would have been authorized to obligate

(a) In addition to the powers granted to each
successor agency, and notwithstanding anything in the act adding
this part, including, but not limited to, Sections 34162 and 34189,
a successor agency shall have the authority, rights, and powers of
the redevelopment agency to which it succeeded solely for the
following purposes:

(1) For the purpose of issuing bonds or incurring other
indebtedness to refund the bonds or other indebtedness of its former
redevelopment agency or of the successor agency to provide
savings to the successor agency, provided that (A) the total interest
cost to maturity on the refunding bonds or other indebtedness plus
the principal amount of the refunding bonds or other indebtedness
shall not exceed the total remaining interest cost to maturity on
the bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded plus the remaining
principal of the bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded, and
(B) the principal amount of the refunding bonds or other
indebtedness shall not exceed the amount required to defease the
refunded bonds or other indebtedness, to establish customary debt
service reserves, and to pay related costs of issuance. If the
foregoing conditions are satisfied, the initial principal amount of
the refunding bonds or other indebtedness may be greater than the
outstanding principal amount of the bonds or other indebtedness
to be refunded. The successor agency may pledge to the refunding
bonds or other indebtedness the revenues pledged to the bonds or
other indebtedness being refunded, and that pledge, when made
in connection with the issuance of such refunding bonds or other
indebtedness, shall have the same lien priority as the pledge of the
bonds or other obligations to be refunded, and shall be valid,
binding, and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(2) For the purpose of issuing bonds or other indebtedness to
finance debt service spikes, including balloon maturities, provided
that (A) the existing indebtedness is not accelerated, except to the
extent necessary to achieve substantially level debt service, and
(B) the principal amount of the bonds or other indebtedness shall
not exceed the amount required to finance the debt service spikes,
including establishing customary debt service reserves and paying
related costs of issuance.

(3) For the purpose of amending an existing enforceable
obligation under which the successor agency is obligated to
reimburse a political subdivision of the state for the payment of
debt service on a bond or other obligation of the political
subdivision, or to pay all or a portion of the debt service on the
bond or other obligation of the political subdivision to provide
savings to the successor agency, provided that (A) the enforceable
obligation is amended in connection with a refunding of the bonds
or other obligations of the political subdivision so that the
enforceable obligation will apply to the refunding bonds or other
refunding indebtedness of the political subdivision, (B) the total
interest cost to maturity on the refunding bonds or other
indebtedness plus the principal amount of the refunding bonds or
other indebtedness shall not exceed the total remaining interest
cost to maturity on the bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded
plus the remaining principal of the bonds or other indebtedness to
be refunded, and (C) the principal amount of the refunding bonds
or other indebtedness shall not exceed the amount required to
defease the refunded bonds or other indebtedness, to establish
customary debt service reserves and to pay related costs of
issuance. The pledge set forth in that amended enforceable
obligation, when made in connection with the execution of the
amendment of the enforceable obligation, shall have the same lien
priority as the pledge in the enforceable obligation prior to its
amendment and shall be valid, binding, and enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

(4) For the purpose of issuing bonds or incurring other
indebtedness to make payments under enforceable obligations
when the enforceable obligations include the irrevocable pledge
of property tax increment, formerly tax increment revenues prior
to the effective date of this part, or other funds and the obligation
to issue bonds secured by that pledge. The successor agency may
pledge to the bonds or other indebtedness the property tax revenues
and other funds described in the enforceable obligation, and that
pledge, when made in connection with the issuance of the bonds
or the incurring of other indebtedness, shall be valid, binding, and
enforceable in accordance with its terms. This paragraph shall not
be deemed to authorize a successor agency to increase the amount
of property tax revenues pledged under an enforceable obligation
or to pledge any property tax revenue not already pledged pursuant
to an enforceable obligation. This paragraph does not constitute a
change in, but is declaratory of, the existing law.

(b) The refunding bonds authorized under this section may be
issued under the authority of Article 11 (commencing with Section
53580) of Chapter 3 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the
Government Code, and the refunding bonds may be sold at public
or private sale, or to a joint powers authority pursuant to the
Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act (Article 4 (commencing with
Section 6584) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the
Government Code).

(c) (1) Prior to incurring any bonds or other indebtedness
pursuant to this section, the successor agency may subordinate to
the bonds or other indebtedness the amount required to be paid to
an affected taxing entity pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision
(a) of Section 34183, provided that the affected taxing entity has
approved the subordinations pursuant to this subdivision.

(2) At the time the successor agency requests an affected taxing
entity to subordinate the amount to be paid to it, the successor
agency shall provide the affected taxing entity with substantial
evidence that sufficient funds will be available to pay both the debt
service on the bonds or other indebtedness and the payments
required by paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 34183,
when due.

(3) Within 45 days after receipt of the agency’s request, the
affected taxing entity shall approve or disapprove the request for
subordination. An affected taxing entity may disapprove a request
for subordination only if it finds, based upon substantial evidence,
that the successor agency will not be able to pay the debt service
payments and the amount required to be paid to the affected taxing
entity. If the affected taxing entity does not act within 45 days after
receipt of the agency’s request, the request to subordinate shall be
deemed approved and shall be final and conclusive.

(d) An action may be brought pursuant to Chapter 9
(commencing with Section 860) of Title 10 of Part 2 of the Code
of Civil Procedure to determine the validity of bonds or other
obligations authorized by this section, the pledge of revenues to

obligation, or the execution of a financing agreement by a successor
agency shall be brought within 30 days after the date on which the
oversight board approves the resolution of the successor agency
approving the issuance of bonds, the incurrence of indebtedness,
the amendment of an enforceable obligation, or the execution of
a financing agreement authorized under this section.

approval of the oversight board, as provided in Section 34180.
Additionally, an oversight board may direct the successor agency
to commence any of the transactions described in subdivision (a)
so long as the successor agency is able to recover its related costs
in connection with the transaction. After a successor agency, with
approval of the oversight board, issues any bonds, incurs any
indebtedness, or executes an amended enforceable obligation
pursuant to subdivision (a), the oversight board shall not
unilaterally approve any amendments to or early termination of
the bonds, indebtedness, or enforceable obligation. If, under the

assistance of the Treasurer in evaluating proposed actions under
this section.

(g) Any bonds, indebtedness, or amended enforceable obligation

or amended enforceable obligations authorized by this section are
taxes allocated to the successor agency pursuant to subdivision (b)
of Section 33670 and Section 16 of Article XVI of the California
Constitution.

(a) Beginning January 1, 2016, successor agencies
may submit a Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule for approval by the oversight board and the department
if all of the following conditions are met:

(1) The remaining debt of a successor agency is limited to
administrative costs and payments pursuant to enforceable
obligations with defined payment schedules including, but not
limited to, debt service, loan agreements, and contracts.

(2) All remaining obligations have been previously listed on a
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and approved for
payment by the department pursuant to subdivision (m) or (o) of
Section 34177.

(3) The successor agency is not a party to outstanding or
unresolved litigation. Notwithstanding this provision, successor
agencies that are party to Los Angeles Unified School Dist. v.
County of Los Angeles (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 414 or Los Angeles
Unified School District v. County of Los Angeles (2013) 217
Cal.App.4th 597, may submit a Last and Final Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule.

(b) A successor agency that meets the conditions in subdivision
(a) may submit a Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule to its oversight board for approval at any time. The
successor agency may then submit the oversight board-approved
Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule to the
department and only in a manner provided by the department. The
Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall
not be effective until reviewed and approved by the department as
provided for in subdivision (c). The successor agency shall also
submit a copy of the oversight board-approved Last and Final
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule to the county
administrative officer, the county auditor-controller, and post it
to the successor agency’s Internet Web site at the same time that
the successor agency submits the Last and Final Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule to the department.

(1) The Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
shall list the remaining enforceable obligations of the successor
agency in the following order:

(A) Enforceable obligations to be funded from the
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund.

(B) Enforceable obligations to be funded from bond proceeds
or enforceable obligations required to be funded from other legally
or contractually dedicated or restricted funding sources.

(C) Loans or deferrals authorized for repayment pursuant to
subparagraph (G) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) of Section
34171 or Section 34191.4.

(2) The Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
shall include the total outstanding obligation and a schedule of
remaining payments for each enforceable obligation listed pursuant
to subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1), and the total
outstanding obligation and interest rate of 4 percent, for loans or
deferrals listed pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1).

(c) The department shall have 100 days to review the Last and
Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule submitted pursuant
to subdivision (b). The department may make any amendments or
changes to the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule, provided the amendments or changes are agreed to by
the successor agency in writing. If the successor agency and the
department cannot come to an agreement on the proposed
amendments or changes, the department shall issue a letter denying
the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule. All
Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules
approved by the department shall become effective on the first day
of the subsequent Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund
distribution period. If the Last and Final Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule is approved less than 15 days before the date
of the property tax distribution, the Last and Final Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule shall not be effective until the
subsequent Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund distribution
period.

(1) Upon approval by the department, the Last and Final
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall establish the
maximum amount of Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds to
be distributed to the successor agency for each remaining fiscal
year until all obligations have been fully paid.

(2) (A) Successor agencies may submit no more than two
requests to the department to amend the approved Last and Final
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule. Requests shall first be
approved by the oversight board and then submitted to the
department for review. A request shall not be effective until
reviewed and approved by the department. The request shall be
provided to the department by electronic means and in a manner
of the department’s choosing. The department shall have 100 days
from the date received to approve or deny the successor agency’s
request. All amended Last and Final Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedules approved by the department shall become
effective in the subsequent Redevelopment Property Tax Trust
Fund distribution period. If an amended Last and Final Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule is approved less than 15 days before
the date of the property tax distribution, the Last and Final
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall not be effective
until the subsequent Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund
distribution period.

(B) Notwithstanding paragraph (2), there shall be no limitation
on the number of Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule amendment requests that may be submitted to the
department by successor agencies that are party to either of the
cases specified in paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), provided those
additional amendments are submitted for the sole purpose of
complying with final judicial determinations in those cases.

(3) Any revenues, interest, and earnings of the successor agency
not authorized for use pursuant to the approved Last and Final
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall be remitted to the
county auditor-controller for distribution to the affected taxing
entities. Notwithstanding Sections 34191.3 and 34191.5, proceeds
from the disposition of real property subsequent to the approval
of the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
that are not necessary for the payment of an enforceable obligation
shall be remitted to the county auditor-controller for distribution
to the affected taxing entities.

(4) A successor agency shall not expend more than the amount
approved for each enforceable obligation listed and approved on
the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule.

(5) If a successor agency receives insufficient funds to pay for
the enforceable obligations approved in the Last and Final
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule in any given period, the
city, county, or city and county that created the redevelopment
agency may loan or grant funds to a successor agency for that
period at the successor agency’s request for the sole purpose of
paying for approved items on the Last and Final Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule that would otherwise go unpaid.
Any loans provided pursuant to this paragraph by the city, county,
or city and county that created the redevelopment agency shall
not include an interest component. Additionally, at the request of
the department, the county treasurer may loan any funds from the
county treasury to the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund
of the successor agency for the purpose of paying an item approved
on the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
in order to ensure prompt payments of successor agency debts.
Any loans provided pursuant to this paragraph by the county
treasurer shall not include an interest component. A loan made
under this section shall be repaid from the source of funds
approved for payment of the underlying enforceable obligation in
the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule once
sufficient funds become available from that source. Payment of
the loan shall not increase the total amount of Redevelopment
Property Tax Trust Fund received by the successor agency as
approved on the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule.

(6) Notwithstanding subparagraph (B) of paragraph (6) of
subdivision (e) of Section 34176 and subparagraph (A) of
paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 34191.4, commencing
on the date the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule becomes effective:

(A) The maximum repayment amount of the total principal and
interest on loans and deferrals authorized for repayment pursuant
to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (6) of subdivision (e) of Section
34176 or Section 34191.4 and listed and approved in the Last and
Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall be 15 percent
of the moneys remaining in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust
Fund after the allocation of moneys in each six-month period
pursuant to Section 34183 prior to the distributions under
paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section 34183.

(B) If the calculation performed pursuant to subparagraph (A)
results in a lower repayment amount than would result from
application of the calculation specified in subparagraph (B) of
paragraph (6) of subdivision (e) of Section 34176 or subparagraph
(A) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 34191.4, the
successor agency may calculate its Last and Final Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule loan repayments using the latter
calculation.

(7) Commencing on the effective date of the approved Last and
Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule, the successor
agency shall not prepare or transmit Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedules pursuant to Section 34177.

(8) Commencing on the effective date of the approved Last and
Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule, oversight board
resolutions shall not be submitted to the department pursuant to
subdivision (h) of Section 34179. This paragraph shall not apply
to oversight board resolutions necessary for refunding bonds
pursuant to Section 34177.5, long-range property management
plans pursuant to Section 34191.5, amendments to the Last and
Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule under paragraph
(2) of subdivision (c), and the final oversight board resolutions
pursuant to Section 34187.

(d) The county auditor-controller shall do the following:

(1) Review the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule and provide any objection to the inclusion of any items
or amounts to the department.

(2) After the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule is approved by the department, the county
auditor-controller shall continue to allocate moneys in the
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund pursuant to Section
34183; however, the allocation from the Redevelopment Property
Tax Trust Funds in each fiscal period, after deducting
auditor-controller administrative costs, shall be according to the
following order of priority:

(A) Allocations pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of
Section 34183.

(B) Debt service payments scheduled to be made for tax
allocation bonds that are listed and approved in the Last and Final
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule.

(C) Payments scheduled to be made on revenue bonds that are
listed and approved in the Last and Final Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule, but only to the extent the revenues pledged for
them are insufficient to make the payments and only if the agency’s
tax increment revenues were also pledged for the repayment of
bonds.

(D) Payments scheduled for debts and obligations listed and
approved in the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule to be paid from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust
Fund pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision
(b) and subdivision (c).

(E) Payments listed and approved pursuant to subparagraph
(A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) and subdivision (c) that
were authorized but unfunded in prior periods.

(F) Repayment in the amount specified in paragraph (6) of
subdivision (c) of loans and deferrals listed and approved on the
Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule pursuant
to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) and
subdivision (c).

(G) Any moneys remaining in the Redevelopment Property Tax
Trust Fund after the payments and transfers authorized by
subparagraphs (A) to (F), inclusive, shall be distributed to taxing
entities in accordance with paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of
Section 34183.

(3) If the successor agency reports to the county
auditor-controller that the total available amounts in the
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund will be insufficient to
fund their current or future fiscal year obligations, and if the county
auditor-controller concurs that there are insufficient funds to pay
the required obligations, the county auditor-controller may
distribute funds pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 34183.

(4) The county auditor-controller shall no longer distribute
property tax to the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund once
the aggregate amount of property tax allocated to the successor
agency equals the total outstanding obligation approved in the
Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule.

(e) Successor agencies with a Last and Final Recognized
Payment Schedule approved by the department may amend or
modify existing contracts, agreements, or other arrangements
identified on the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule which the department has already determined to be
enforceable obligations, provided:

(1) The outstanding payments owing from the successor agency
are not accelerated or increased in any way.

(2) Any amendment to extend terms shall not include an
extension beyond the last scheduled payment for the enforceable
obligations listed and approved on the Last and Final Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule.

(3) This subdivision shall not be construed as authorizing
successor agencies to create new or additional enforceable
obligations or otherwise increase, directly or indirectly, the amount
of Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds allocated to the
successor agency by the county auditor-controller.

(a) In each county, other than the County of Ventura,
having within its boundaries a qualifying city, the computations
made pursuant to Section 96.1 or its predecessor section, for the
1989-90 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, shall be
modified as follows:

With respect to tax rate areas within the boundaries of a
qualifying city, there shall be excluded from the aggregate amount
of “property tax revenue allocated pursuant to this chapter to local
agencies, other than for a qualifying city, in the prior fiscal year,”
an amount equal to the sum of the amounts calculated pursuant to
the TEA formula.

(b) (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, each
qualifying city shall, for the 1989-90 fiscal year and each fiscal
year thereafter, be allocated by the auditor an amount determined
pursuant to the TEA formula.

(2) For each qualifying city, the auditor shall, for the 1989-90
fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, allocate the amount
determined pursuant to the TEA formula to all tax rate areas within
that city in proportion to each tax rate area’s share of the total
assessed value in the city for the applicable fiscal year, and the
amount so determined shall be subtracted from the county’s
proportionate share of property tax revenue for that fiscal year
within those tax rate areas.

(3) After making the allocations pursuant to paragraphs (1) and
(2), but before making the calculations pursuant to Section 96.5
or its predecessor section, the auditor shall, for all tax rate areas
in the qualifying city, calculate the proportionate share of property
tax revenue allocated pursuant to this section and Section 96.1, or
their predecessor sections, in the 1989-90 fiscal year and each
fiscal year thereafter to each jurisdiction in the tax rate area.

(4) In lieu of making the allocations of annual tax increment
pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 96.5 or its predecessor
section, the auditor shall, for the 1989-90 fiscal year and each
fiscal year thereafter, allocate the amount of property tax revenue
determined pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 96.5 or its
predecessor section to jurisdictions in the tax rate area using the
proportionate shares derived pursuant to paragraph (3).

(5) For purposes of the calculations made pursuant to Section
96.1 or its predecessor section, in the 1990-91 fiscal year and each
fiscal year thereafter, the amounts that would have been allocated
to qualifying cities pursuant to this subdivision shall be deemed
to be the “amount of property tax revenue allocated in the prior
fiscal year.”

(c) “TEA formula” means the Tax Equity Allocation formula,
and shall be calculated by the auditor for each qualifying city as
follows:

(1) For the 1988-89 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
the auditor shall determine the total amount of property tax revenue
to be allocated to all jurisdictions in all tax rate areas within the
qualifying city, before the allocation and payment of funds in that
fiscal year to a community redevelopment agency within the
qualifying city, as provided in subdivision (b) of Section 33670
of the Health and Safety Code.

(2) The auditor shall determine the total amount of funds
allocated in each fiscal year to a community redevelopment agency
in accordance with subdivision (b) of Section 33670 of the Health
and Safety Code.

(3) The auditor shall determine the total amount of funds paid
in each fiscal year by a community redevelopment agency within
the city to jurisdictions other than the city pursuant to subdivision
(b) of Section 33401 and Section 33676 of the Health and Safety
Code, and the cost to the redevelopment agency of any land or
facilities transferred and any amounts paid to jurisdictions other
than the city to assist in the construction or reconstruction of
facilities pursuant to an agreement entered into under Section
33401 or 33445.5 of the Health and Safety Code.

(4) The auditor shall subtract the amount determined in
paragraph (3) from the amount determined in paragraph (2).

(5) The auditor shall subtract the amount determined in
paragraph (4) from the amount determined in paragraph (1).

(6) The amount computed in paragraph (5) shall be multiplied
by the following percentages in order to determine the TEA
formula amount to be distributed to the qualifying city in each
fiscal year:

(A) For the first fiscal year in which the qualifying city receives
a distribution pursuant to this section, 1 percent of the amount
determined in paragraph (5).

(B) For the second fiscal year in which the qualifying city
receives a distribution pursuant to this section, 2 percent of the
amount determined in paragraph (5).

(C) For the third fiscal year in which the qualifying city receives
a distribution pursuant to this section, 3 percent of the amount
determined in paragraph (5).

(D) For the fourth fiscal year in which the qualifying city
receives a distribution pursuant to this section, 4 percent of the
amount determined in paragraph (5).

(E) For the fifth fiscal year in which the qualifying city receives
a distribution pursuant to this section, 5 percent of the amount
determined in paragraph (5).

(F) For the sixth fiscal year in which the qualifying city receives
a distribution pursuant to this section, 6 percent of the amount
determined in paragraph (5).

(G) For the seventh fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter
in which the city receives a distribution pursuant to this section,
7 percent of the amount determined in paragraph (5).

(d) “Qualifying city” means any city, except a qualifying city
as defined in Section 98.1, that incorporated prior to June 5, 1987,
and had an amount of property tax revenue allocated to it pursuant
to subdivision (a) of Section 96.1 or its predecessor section in the
1988-89 fiscal year that is less than 7 percent of the amount of
property tax revenue computed as follows:

(1) The auditor shall determine the total amount of property tax
revenue allocated to the city in the 1988-89 fiscal year.

(2) The auditor shall subtract the amount in the 1988-89 fiscal
year determined in paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) from the
amount determined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c).

(3) The auditor shall subtract the amount determined in
paragraph (2) from the amount of property tax revenue determined
in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c).

(4) The auditor shall divide the amount of property tax revenue
determined in paragraph (1) of this subdivision by the amount of
property tax revenue determined in paragraph (3) of this
subdivision.

(5) If the quotient determined in paragraph (4) of this subdivision
is less than 0.07, the city is a qualifying city. If the quotient
determined in that paragraph is equal to or greater than 0.07, the
city is not a qualifying city.

(e) The auditor may assess each qualifying city its proportional
share of the actual costs of making the calculations required by
this section, and may deduct that assessment from the amount
allocated pursuant to subdivision (b). For purposes of this
subdivision, a qualifying city’s proportional share of the auditor’s
actual costs shall not exceed the proportion it receives of the total
amounts excluded in the county pursuant to subdivision (a).

(f) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), in any fiscal year in which
a qualifying city is to receive a distribution pursuant to this section,
the auditor shall reduce the actual amount distributed to the
qualifying city by the sum of the following:

(1) The amount of property tax revenue that was exchanged
between the county and the qualifying city as a result of negotiation
pursuant to Section 99.03.

(2) (A) The amount of revenue not collected by the qualifying
city in the first fiscal year following the city’s reduction after
January 1, 1988, of the tax rate or tax base of any locally imposed
tax, except any tax that was imposed after January 1, 1988. In the
case of a tax that existed before January 1, 1988, this clause shall
apply only with respect to an amount attributable to a reduction
of the rate or base to a level lower than the rate or base applicable
on January 1, 1988. The amount so computed by the auditor shall
constitute a reduction in the amount of property tax revenue
distributed to the qualifying city pursuant to this section in each
succeeding fiscal year. That amount shall be aggregated with any
additional amount computed pursuant to this clause as the result
of the city’s reduction in any subsequent year of the tax rate or tax
base of the same or any other locally imposed general or special
tax.

(B) No reduction may be made pursuant to subparagraph (A)
in the case in which a local tax is reduced or eliminated as a result
of either a court decision or the approval or rejection of a ballot
measure by the voters.

(3) The amount of property tax revenue received pursuant to
this chapter in excess of the amount allocated for the 1986-87
fiscal year by all special districts that are governed by the city
council of the qualifying city or whose governing body is the same
as the city council of the qualifying city with respect to all tax rate
areas within the boundaries of the qualifying city.

Notwithstanding this paragraph:

(A) Commencing with the 1994-95 fiscal year, the auditor shall
not reduce the amount distributed to a qualifying city under this
section by reason of that city becoming the successor agency to a
special district, that is dissolved, merged with that city, or becomes
a subsidiary district of that city, on or after July 1, 1994.

(B) Commencing with the 1997-98 fiscal year, the auditor shall
not reduce the amount distributed to a qualifying city under this
section by reason of that city withdrawing from a county free
library system pursuant to Section 19116 of the Education Code.

(4) Any amount of property tax revenues that has been
exchanged pursuant to Section 56842 of the Government begin delete Code end delete
begin insert Code, as that section read on January 1, 1998, end insert between the City
of Rancho Mirage and a community services district, the formation
of which was initiated on or after March 6, 1997, pursuant to
Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 56800) of Part 3 of Division
3 of Title 5 of the Government Code.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, in no
event may the auditor reduce the amount of ad valorem property
tax revenue otherwise allocated to a qualifying city pursuant to
this section on the basis of any additional ad valorem property tax
revenues received by that city pursuant to a services for revenue
agreement. For purposes of this subdivision, a “services for revenue
agreement” means any agreement between a qualifying city and
the county in which it is located, entered into by joint resolution
of that city and that county, under which additional service
responsibilities are exchanged in consideration for additional
property tax revenues.

(h) In any fiscal year in which a qualifying city is to receive a
distribution pursuant to this section, the auditor shall increase the
actual amount distributed to the qualifying city by the amount of
property tax revenue allocated to the qualifying city pursuant to
Section 19116 of the Education Code.

(i) If the auditor determines that the amount to be distributed to
a qualifying city pursuant to subdivision (b), as modified by
subdivisions (e), (f), and (g) would result in a qualifying city having
proceeds of taxes in excess of its appropriation limit, the auditor
shall reduce the amount, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount
that exceeds the city’s appropriations limit.

(j) The amount not distributed to the tax rate areas of a
qualifying city as a result of this section shall be distributed by the
auditor to the county.

(k) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, no
qualifying city shall be distributed an amount pursuant to this
section that is less than the amount the city would have been
allocated without the application of the TEA formula.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the
auditor shall not distribute any amount determined pursuant to this
section to any qualifying city that has in the prior fiscal year used
any revenues or issued bonds for the construction, acquisition, or
development, of any facility which is defined in Section 103(b)(4),
103(b)(5), or 103(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 prior
to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 begin delete (P.L. end delete begin insert (Public Law end insert
99-514) and is no longer eligible for tax-exempt financing.

(m) (1) The amendments made to this section, and the repeal
of Section 98.04, by the act that added this subdivision shall apply
for the 2006-07 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter.

(2) For the 2006-07 fiscal year and for each fiscal year
thereafter, all of the following apply:

(A) The auditor of the County of Santa Clara shall do both of
the following:

(i) Reduce the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue
otherwise required to be allocated to qualifying cities in that county
by the ERAF reimbursement amount. This reduction for each

The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the
following:

end insert begin insert

(a) The Department of Finance has provided written
confirmation to the successor agency to the Redevelopment Agency
of the City and County of San Francisco (successor agency) that
the following projects are finally and conclusively approved as
enforceable obligations:

end insert begin insert

(1) The Mission Bay North Owner Participation Agreement.

end insert begin insert

(2) The Mission Bay South Owner Participation Agreement.

end insert begin insert

(3) The Disposition and Development Agreement for Hunters
Point Shipyard Phase 1.

end insert begin insert

(4) The Candlestick Point-Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 2
Disposition and Development Agreement.

end insert begin insert

(5) The Transbay Implementation Agreement.

end insert begin insert

(b) The enforceable obligations described in subdivision (a)
require the successor agency to fund and develop affordable
housing, including 1,200 units in Transbay, 1,445 units in Mission
Bay North and Mission Bay South, and 1,358 units in Candlestick
Point-Hunters Point Shipyard Phases 1 and 2. In addition, the
successor agency is required to fund and develop public
infrastructure in the Transbay Redevelopment Project Area
pursuant to the Transbay Implementation Agreement, which is
necessary to improve the area surrounding the Transbay Transit
Center.

end insert begin insert

(c) Due to insufficient property tax revenues in the
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund, of the total number of
affordable housing units that the successor agency is obligated to
fund and develop under the enforceable obligations described in
subdivision (a), the successor agency has been able to finance the
construction of only 642 units. Additionally, the successor agency
has not been able to fulfill its public infrastructure obligation
under the Transbay Implementation Agreement.

end insert begin insert

(d) The successor agency can more expeditiously construct the
3,361 additional units of required affordable housing and the
necessary infrastructure improvements if it is able to issue bonds
or incur other indebtedness secured by property tax revenues
available in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund to finance
these obligations.

end insert begin insert

(e) It is the intent of the Legislature to authorize the successor
agency to issue bonds or incur other indebtedness for the purpose
of financing the construction of affordable housing and
infrastructure required under the enforceable obligations described
in subdivision (a). These bonds or other indebtedness may be
secured by property tax revenues available in the successor
agency’s Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund from those
project areas that generated tax increment for the Redevelopment
Agency of the City and County of San Francisco upon its
dissolution, if the revenues are not otherwise obligated.

end insert begin insert

(f) Authorizing the successor agency to issue bonds or incur
other indebtedness to finance the enforceable obligations described
in subdivision (a) will financially benefit the affected taxing entities,
insofar as it will ensure that funds which would otherwise flow to
those entities as “residual” payments pursuant to paragraph (4)
of subdivision (a) of Section 34183 of the Health and Safety Code
will not be redirected to fund these enforceable obligations.
Instead, the enforceable obligations will be funded with the
proceeds of the bonds or debt issuances.

end insert begin insert

(g) The housing situation in the City and County of San
Francisco is unique, in that median rents and sales prices are
among the highest in the state. Because of this, the City and County
of San Francisco is currently facing an affordable housing crisis.

(a) For the 2015-16 fiscal year, the sum of
twenty-three million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars
($23,750,000) is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to
the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Provision of these
funds to the department shall be contingent on the County of
Riverside agreeing to forgive amounts owed to it by the Cities of
Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Menifee, and Wildomar for services
rendered to the cities between the respective dates of their
incorporation, and June 30, 2015. The county’s agreement to
forgive these funds shall be forwarded to the Chairperson of the
Joint Legislative Budget Committee and to the Director of Finance
no later than December 1, 2015. The county’s agreement shall be
accompanied by a summary of the actual amount owed to the
county by each of the cities for the period between the date of their
incorporation and June 30, 2015. The agreement reflects a valid
public purpose which benefits the cities, the county, and its citizens.

pursuant to paragraph (1).

provided to the department in the Budget Act of 2015 by an amount
that corresponds to the amount provided to the department

City and County of San Francisco in conjunction with the

contained in Section 25 of this measure is necessary and that a
