Ingram, Executive Director FROM: Victoria L. Beatiey, Director of Finance SUBJECT: RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE (ROPS 4) FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 1, 2013 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2013 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the Governing Board of the Successor Agency to The City of Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency adopt Resolution No. SAI 3-01 approving the ROPS for six-month fiscal period commencing on July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: Pursuant to Part 1.85 of Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code (the "Redevelopment Dissolution Law"), the Successor Agency must prepare a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS") for each six-month fiscal period (commencing each January 1 and July 1), listing the payments to be made by the Successor Agency during such period. All ROPS must be approved by the Oversight Board. Furthermore, each Oversight Board-approved ROPS must be submitted to the State Department of Finance ("DOF") for review. If the Successor Agency does not submit an Oversight Board-approved ROPS by March 1, 2013, the City of Seal Beach will be subject to a civil penalty of $10,000 per day for every day that the ROPS is not submitted to the DOF. The penalty is to be paid to the County Auditor-Controller for distribution to the taxing entities. If the Successor Agency does not timely submit a ROPS, creditors of the successor agency, the DOF, and affected taxing entities may request a writ of mandate to require the Successor Agency to immediately perform this duty. Additionally, if the Successor Agency does not submit a ROPS within 10 days of March 1st, the Successor Agency's administrative cost allowance for that period will be reduced by 25%. Agenda Item 3 If the Successor Agency fails to submit an Oversight Board-approved ROPS to the DOF within five business days of "the date upon which the ROPS is to be used to determine the amount of property tax allocations," the DOF may determine whether the County Auditor-Controller should distribute any of property tax revenues to the taxing entities, or whether any amount should be withheld for enforceable obligations pending approval of the ROPS. It is not clear what is "the date upon which the ROPS is to be used to determine the amount of property tax allocations." ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact associated with adoption of the attached Resolution. LEGAL ANALYSIS: General Counsel has reviewed and approved as to form. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Preparation of the ROPS 13-14A will facilitate the receipt of funding required for the Successor Agency to pay enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of Directors of the Successor Agency to the City of Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency adopt Resolution No. SA13-01, approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the six- month fiscal period commencing on July 1, 2013 and ending on December 31, 2013.
