LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 471, as amended, Atkins. Local government: redevelopment: successor agencies to redevelopment agencies.

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

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

begin delete

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

end delete begin delete

This bill would authorize a successor agency to amend an existing contract or agreement related to long-term enforceable obligations, or enter into a new contract or agreement in furtherance of an existing contract or agreement, for the purpose of administering projects in connection with long-term enforceable obligations, if the existing contract or agreement has been approved by the Department of Finance as an enforceable obligation on a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule, and the existing contract or agreement has received a final and conclusive determination. The bill would prohibit any amendment of an existing contract or agreement, or any new contract or agreement, from committing any new funding from any source beyond the funding that was previously authorized in the existing contract or agreement. The bill would also prohibit the amendment of an existing contract or agreement, or any new contract or agreement, from otherwise adversely affecting the flow of property tax revenues, or payments made to taxing entities, as specified.

begin insert (2) end insert  Existing law requires a successor agency to submit a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule to the Department of Finance, and requires the successor agency to make payments pursuant to that schedule.

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

begin delete

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

end delete begin delete

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

begin insert (3) end insert  Existing law requires the county auditor-controller to determine the amount of property taxes that would have been allocated to each redevelopment agency if it had not been dissolved and to deposit this amount in a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund in the county. Existing law requires the conducting of a due diligence review to determine the unobligated balances available for transfer to affected taxing entities. Existing law requires the county auditor-controller for each fiscal year to allocate moneys in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund for passthrough payment obligations, enforceable obligations of the dissolved redevelopment agency, and administrative costs, as specified. Any remaining moneys in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund are required to be distributed as local property tax revenues to local agencies and school entities, as specified.

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

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

school district that maintains kindergarten and grades 1 to 12,

The following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) “Administrative budget” means the budget for administrative
costs of the successor agencies as provided in Section 34177.

(b) “Administrative cost allowance” means an amount that,
subject to the approval of the oversight board, is payable from
property tax revenues of up to 5 percent of the property tax
allocated to the successor agency on the Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule covering the period January 1, 2012, through
June 30, 2012, and up to 3 percent of the property tax allocated to
the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund money that is

hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), unless the oversight
board reduces this amount, for any fiscal year or such lesser amount
as agreed to by the successor agency. However, the allowance
amount shall exclude, and shall not apply to, any administrative
costs that can be paid from bond proceeds or from sources other
than property tax. Administrative cost allowances shall exclude
any litigation expenses related to assets or obligations, settlements
and judgments, and the costs of maintaining assets prior to
disposition. Employee costs associated with work on specific
project implementation activities, including, but not limited to,
construction inspection, project management, or actual
construction, shall be considered project-specific costs and shall
not constitute administrative costs.

(c) “Designated local authority” shall mean a public entity
formed pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 34173.

required debt service, reserve set-asides, and any other payments
required under the indenture or similar documents governing the
issuance of the outstanding bonds of the former redevelopment
agency. A reserve may be held when required by the bond
indenture or when the next property tax allocation will be
insufficient to pay all obligations due under the provisions of the
bond for the next payment due in the following half of the calendar
year.

(B) Loans of moneys borrowed by the redevelopment agency
for a lawful purpose, to the extent they are legally required to be
repaid pursuant to a required repayment schedule or other
mandatory loan terms.

(C) Payments required by the federal government, preexisting
obligations to the state or obligations imposed by state law, other
than passthrough payments that are made by the county
auditor-controller pursuant to Section 34183, or legally enforceable
payments required in connection with the agencies’ employees,
including, but not limited to, pension payments, pension obligation
debt service, unemployment payments, or other obligations
conferred through a collective bargaining agreement. Costs incurred
to fulfill collective bargaining agreements for layoffs or
terminations of city employees who performed work directly on
behalf of the former redevelopment agency shall be considered
enforceable obligations payable from property tax funds. The
obligations to employees specified in this subparagraph shall
remain enforceable obligations payable from property tax funds
for any employee to whom those obligations apply if that employee
is transferred to the entity assuming the housing functions of the
former redevelopment agency pursuant to Section 34176. The
successor agency or designated local authority shall enter into an
agreement with the housing entity to reimburse it for any costs of
the employee obligations.

policy. However, nothing in this act shall prohibit either the
successor agency, with the approval or at the direction of the
oversight board, or the oversight board itself from terminating any
existing agreements or contracts and providing any necessary and
required compensation or remediation for such termination. Titles
of or headings used on or in a document shall not be relevant in
determining the existence of an enforceable obligation.

(F) Contracts or agreements necessary for the administration or
operation of the successor agency, in accordance with this part,
including, but not limited to, agreements concerning litigation
expenses related to assets or obligations, settlements and
judgments, and the costs of maintaining assets prior to disposition,
and agreements to purchase or rent office space, equipment and
supplies, and pay-related expenses pursuant to Section 33127 and
for carrying insurance pursuant to Section 33134.

(G) Amounts borrowed from, or payments owing to, the Low
and Moderate Income Housing Fund of a redevelopment agency,
which had been deferred as of the effective date of the act adding
this part; provided, however, that the repayment schedule is
approved by the oversight board. Repayments shall be transferred
to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund established

agreements entered into (A) at the time of issuance, but in no event

(B) solely for the purpose of securing or repaying those
indebtedness obligations may be deemed enforceable obligations
for purposes of this part. Notwithstanding this paragraph, loan

deemed to be enforceable obligations.

(3) Contracts or agreements between the former redevelopment
agency and other public agencies, to perform services or provide
funding for governmental or private services or capital projects
outside of redevelopment project areas that do not provide benefit
to the redevelopment project and thus were not properly authorized
under Part 1 (commencing with Section 33000) shall be deemed
void on the effective date of this part; provided, however, that such
contracts or agreements for the provision of housing properly
authorized under Part 1 (commencing with Section 33000) shall
not be deemed void.

(e) “Indebtedness obligations” means bonds, notes, certificates
of participation, or other evidence of indebtedness, issued or
delivered by the redevelopment agency, or by a joint exercise of
powers authority created by the redevelopment agency, to
third-party investors or bondholders to finance or refinance

Section 34177 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:

34177.  

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 Department
of Finance. 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 begin insert and the auditor-controller end insert .

(2) The Department of Finance 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 Department of Finance 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

requirements of this paragraph. For each recognized obligation,
the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall identify one
or more of the following sources of payment:

(A) Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.

(B) Bond proceeds.

(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

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
property tax increment had the a redevelopment agency not been
dissolved.

(B) The Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule is submitted
to and duly approved by the oversight board. The successor agency
shall submit a copy of the Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule to the county administrative officer, the county
auditor-controller, and the Department of Finance at the same time
that the successor agency submits the Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule to the oversight board for approval.

(C) A copy of the approved Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule is submitted to the county auditor-controller, the
Controller’s office, and the Department of Finance, and is posted
on the successor agency’s Internet Web site.

(3) The Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall be
forward looking to the next six months. The first Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule shall be submitted to the Controller’s
office and the Department of Finance by April 15, 2012, for the
period of January 1, 2012, to June 30, 2012, inclusive. This
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall include all
payments made by the former redevelopment agency between
January 1, 2012, through January 31, 2012, and shall include all
payments proposed to be made by the successor agency from
February 1, 2012, through June 30, 2012. Former redevelopment
agency enforceable obligation payments due, and reasonable or
necessary administrative costs due or incurred, prior to January 1,
2012, shall be made from property tax revenues received in the
spring of 2011 property tax distribution, and from other revenues

of January 1, 2013, to June 30, 2013, shall be submitted by the
successor agency, after approval by the oversight board, no later
than September 1, 2012. Commencing with the Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule covering the period July 1, 2013,
through December 31, 2013, successor agencies shall submit an
oversight board-approved Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule to the Department of Finance and to the county
auditor-controller no fewer than 90 days before the date of property
tax distribution. The Department of Finance shall make its
determination of the enforceable obligations and the amounts and
funding sources of the enforceable obligations no later than 45
days after the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule is
submitted. Within five business days of the department’s
determination, a successor agency may request additional review
by the department and an opportunity to meet and confer on
disputed items. The meet and confer period may vary; an untimely
submittal of a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule may result
in a meet and confer period of less than 30 days. The department
shall notify the successor agency and the county auditor-controllers
as to the outcome of its review at least 15 days before the date of
property tax distribution.

(1) The successor agency shall submit a copy of the Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule to the Department of Finance
electronically, and the successor agency shall complete the
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule in the manner provided
for by the department. A successor agency shall be in
noncompliance with this paragraph if it only submits to the
department an electronic message or a letter stating that the
oversight board has approved a Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule.

(2) If a successor agency does not submit a Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule by the deadlines provided in this
subdivision, the city, county, or city and county that created the
redevelopment agency shall be subject to a civil penalty equal to
ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per day for every day the schedule
is not submitted to the department. The civil penalty shall be paid
to the county auditor-controller for allocation to the taxing entities
under Section 34183. If a successor agency fails to submit a
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule by the deadline, any
creditor of the successor agency or the Department of Finance or
any affected taxing entity shall have standing to and may request
a writ of mandate to require the successor agency to immediately
perform this duty. Those actions may be filed only in the County
of Sacramento and shall have priority over other civil matters.
Additionally, if an agency does not submit a Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule within 10 days of the deadline, the maximum
administrative cost allowance for that period shall be reduced by
25 percent.

(3) If a successor agency fails to submit to the department an
oversight board-approved Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule that complies with all requirements of this subdivision
within five business days of the date upon which the Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule is to be used to determine the amount
of property tax allocations, the department may determine if any
amount should be withheld by the county auditor-controller for
payments for enforceable obligations from distribution to taxing
entities, pending approval of a Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule. The county auditor-controller shall distribute the portion
of any of the sums withheld pursuant to this paragraph to the
affected taxing entities in accordance with paragraph (4) of
subdivision (a) of Section 34183 upon notice by the department
that a portion of the withheld balances are in excess of the amount
of enforceable obligations. The county auditor-controller shall
distribute withheld funds to the successor agency only in
accordance with a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
approved by the department. County auditor-controllers shall lack
the authority to withhold any other amounts from the allocations
provided for under Section 34183 or 34188 unless required by a
court order.

(4) (A) The Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule payments
required pursuant to this subdivision may be scheduled beyond
the existing Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule cycle upon
a showing that a lender requires cash on hand beyond the
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule cycle.

(B) When a payment is shown to be due during the Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule period, but an invoice or other billing
document has not yet been received, 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 begin insert and the auditor-controller end insert .

(C) A Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule may also
include appropriation of moneys from bonds subject to passage
during the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule cycle when
an enforceable obligation requires the agency to issue the bonds
and use the proceeds to pay for project expenditures.

(n) Cause a postaudit of the financial transactions and records
of the successor agency to be made at least annually by a certified
public accountant.

(6) (A) If a city, county, or city and county wishes to retain any
properties or other assets for future redevelopment activities,
funded from its own funds and under its own auspices, it must

Section 34183 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:

34183.  

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

(1) Subject to any prior deductions required by subdivision (b),
first, the county auditor-controller shall remit from the
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund to each local agency and
school entity an amount of property tax revenues in an amount
equal to that which would have been received under Section 33401,
33492.140, 33607, 33607.5, 33607.7, or 33676, as those sections
read on January 1, 2011, or pursuant to any passthrough agreement
between a redevelopment agency and a taxing entity that was
entered into prior to January 1, 1994, that would be in force during
that fiscal year, had the redevelopment agency existed at that time.
The amount of the payments made pursuant to this paragraph shall
be calculated solely on the basis of passthrough payment
obligations, existing prior to the effective date of this part and
continuing as obligations of successor entities, shall occur no later
than May 16, 2012, and no later than June 1, 2012, and each
January 2 and June 1 thereafter. Notwithstanding subdivision (e)
of Section 33670, that portion of the taxes in excess of the amount
identified in subdivision (a) of Section 33670, which are
attributable to a tax rate levied by a taxing entity for the purpose
of producing revenues in an amount sufficient to make annual
repayments of the principal of, and the interest on, any bonded
indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property
shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, the
fund of that taxing entity. The amount of passthrough payments
computed pursuant to this section, including any passthrough
agreements, shall be computed as though the requirement to set
aside funds for the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund was
still in effect.

(2) Second, on June 1, 2012, and each January 2 and June 1
thereafter, to each successor agency for payments listed in its
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the six-month fiscal
period beginning January 1, 2012, and July 1, 2012, and each
January 2 and June 1 thereafter, in the following order of priority:

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

(B) Payments scheduled to be made on revenue bonds, 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 the bonds.

(C) Payments scheduled for other debts and obligations listed
in the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule that are required
to be paid from former tax increment revenue.

(3) Third, on June 1, 2012, and each January 2 and June 1
thereafter, to each successor agency for the administrative cost
allowance, as defined in Section 34171, for administrative costs
set forth in an approved administrative budget for those payments
required to be paid from former tax increment revenues.

(4) Fourth, on March 1, 2014, and each January 2 and June 1
thereafter until June 1, 2018, for the housing entity administrative
cost allowance payable to the local housing authority that has
assumed the housing duties of the former redevelopment agency
pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3) of subdivision (b) of Section
34176.

(5) Fifth, on June 1, 2012, and each January 2 and June 1
thereafter, any moneys remaining in the Redevelopment Property
Tax Trust Fund after the payments and transfers authorized by
paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, shall be distributed to local
agencies and school entities in accordance with Section 34188.

(b) If the successor agency reports, no later than April 1, 2012,
and May 1, 2012, and each December 1 and May 1 thereafter, to
the county auditor-controller that the total amount available to the
successor agency from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust
Fund allocation to that successor agency’s Redevelopment
Obligation Retirement Fund, from other funds transferred from
each redevelopment agency, and from funds that have or will
become available through asset sales and all redevelopment
operations, are insufficient to fund the payments required by
paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision (a) in the next
six-month fiscal period, the county auditor-controller shall notify
the Controller and the Department of Finance no later than 10 days
from the date of that notification. The county auditor-controller
shall verify whether the successor agency will have sufficient funds
from which to service debts according to the Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule and shall report the findings to the
Controller. If the Controller concurs that there are insufficient
funds to pay required debt service, the amount of the deficiency
shall be deducted first from the amount remaining to be distributed
to taxing entities pursuant to paragraph (5), and if that amount is
exhausted, from amounts available for distribution for
administrative costs in paragraphs (3) and (4), with those amounts
in paragraph (3) to be exhausted first. If an agency, pursuant to
the provisions of Section 33492.15, 33492.72, 33607.5, 33671.5,
33681.15, or 33688 or as expressly provided in a passthrough
agreement entered into pursuant to Section 33401, made
passthrough payment obligations subordinate to debt service
payments required for enforceable obligations, funds for servicing
bond debt may be deducted from the amounts for passthrough
payments under paragraph (1), as provided in those sections, but
only to the extent that the amounts remaining to be distributed to
taxing entities pursuant to paragraph (5) and the amounts available
for distribution for administrative costs in paragraphs (3) and (4)
have all been exhausted.

(c) 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 Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule at the request of the
Department of Finance that are necessary to ensure prompt
payments of redevelopment agency debts. An enforceable
obligation is created for repayment of those loans.

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

(e) Within 10 days of each distribution of property tax, the
county auditor-controller shall provide a report to the department
regarding the distribution for each successor agency that includes
information on the total available for allocation, the passthrough
amounts and how they were calculated, the amounts distributed
to successor agencies, and the amounts distributed to taxing entities
in a manner and form specified by the department. This reporting
requirement shall also apply to distributions required under
subdivision (b) of Section 34183.5.

agency that has been issued a finding of completion by the
Department of Finance:

(a) All real property and interests in real property identified in
subparagraph (C) of paragraph (5) of subdivision (c) of Section
34179.5 shall be transferred to the Community Redevelopment
Property Trust Fund of the successor agency upon approval by the
Department of Finance of the long-range property management
plan submitted by the successor agency pursuant to subdivision
(b) of Section 34191.5 unless that property is subject to the
requirements of any existing enforceable obligation.

(b) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (d) of Section 34171, upon
application by the successor agency and approval by the oversight
board, loan agreements entered into between the redevelopment
agency and the city, county, or city and county that created the
redevelopment agency shall be deemed to be enforceable
obligations provided that the oversight board makes a finding that
the loan was for legitimate redevelopment purposes.

(2) If the oversight board finds that the loan is an enforceable
obligation, the accumulated interest on the remaining principal
amount of the loan shall be recalculated from origination at the
interest rate earned by funds deposited into the Local Agency
Investment Fund. The loan shall be repaid to the city, county, or
city and county in accordance with a defined schedule over a
reasonable term of years at an interest rate not to exceed the interest
rate earned by funds deposited into the Local Agency Investment
Fund. The annual loan repayments provided for in the recognized
obligation payment schedules shall be subject to all of the following
limitations:

(A) Loan repayments shall not be made prior to the 2013-14
fiscal year. Beginning in the 2013-14 fiscal year, the maximum
repayment amount authorized each fiscal year for repayments
made pursuant to this subdivision and paragraph (7) of subdivision
(e) of Section 34176 combined shall be equal to one-half of the
increase between the amount distributed to the taxing entities
pursuant to paragraph begin delete (5) end delete begin insert (4) end insert 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, provided,
however, that calculation of the amount distributed to taxing
entities during the 2012-13 base year shall not include any amounts
distributed to taxing entities pursuant to the due diligence review
process established in Sections 34179.5 to 34179.8, inclusive.
Loan or deferral repayments made pursuant to this subdivision
shall be second in priority to amounts to be repaid pursuant to
paragraph (7) of subdivision (e) of Section 34176.

(B) Repayments received by the city, county, or city and county
that formed the redevelopment agency shall first be used to retire
any outstanding amounts borrowed and owed to the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund of the former redevelopment
agency for purposes of the Supplemental Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund and shall be distributed to the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund established by subdivision
(d) of Section 34176.

(C) Twenty percent of any loan repayment shall be deducted
from the loan repayment amount and shall be transferred to the
Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund, after all
outstanding loans from the Low and Moderate Income Housing
Fund for purposes of the Supplemental Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund have been paid.

(c) (1) Bond proceeds derived from bonds issued on or before
December 31, 2010, shall be used for the purposes for which the
bonds were sold.

(2) (A) Notwithstanding Section 34177.3 or any other
conflicting provision of law, bond proceeds in excess of the
amounts needed to satisfy approved enforceable obligations shall
thereafter be expended in a manner consistent with the original
bond covenants. Enforceable obligations may be satisfied by the
creation of reserves for projects that are the subject of the
enforceable obligation and that are consistent with the contractual
obligations for those projects, or by expending funds to complete
the projects. An expenditure made pursuant to this paragraph shall
constitute the creation of excess bond proceeds obligations to be
paid from the excess proceeds. Excess bond proceeds obligations
shall be listed separately on the Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule submitted by the successor agency.

(B) If remaining bond proceeds cannot be spent in a manner
consistent with the bond covenants pursuant to subparagraph (A),
the proceeds shall be used to defease the bonds or to purchase
those same outstanding bonds on the open market for cancellation.

(d) The successor agency may amend an existing contract or
agreement related to long-term enforceable obligations, or enter
into a new contract or agreement in furtherance of any existing
contract or agreement, for the purpose of administering projects
in connection with long-term enforceable obligations, if the existing
contract or agreement has been approved by the department as an
enforceable obligation on a Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule pursuant to subdivision (m) of Section 34177, and the
existing contract or agreement has received a final and conclusive
determination pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 34177.5.

subdivision, shall not adversely affect the flow of property tax
revenues or payments made pursuant to paragraph (4) of
subdivision (a) of Section 34183 to the taxing entities, including
the commitment of any new funding from any source beyond that
which was previously authorized in an existing contract or
