Home My WebLink About2 - Administrative Budget for July to December OVERSIGHT BOARD TO THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE SEAL BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AGENDA STAFF REPORT DATE: February 26, 2015 TO: Oversight Board Members FROM: Victoria L. Beatley, Staff Member SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET FOR JULY 1, 2015 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2015 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the Oversight Board for the Successor Agency to the City of Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency adopt Resolution No. OB15-01 approving a proposed administrative budget for the six-month Fiscal period from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, and taking certain other related actions. 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 proposed administrative budget and a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS") for each six-month fiscal period, both of which must be submitted to the Oversight Board for approval. Each proposed administrative budget must include all of the following: (1) estimated amounts for Successor Agency administrative costs for the applicable six-month fiscal period; (2) proposed sources of payment for the administrative costs; and (3) proposals for arrangements for administrative and operations services provided by the City or other entity. The Redevelopment Dissolution Law is unclear regarding the required timing for the submission of the proposed administrative budget for the period from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 (i.e., the first half of fiscal year 2015-2016 Administrative Budget 15-16A) to -the Oversight Board. However, because the Successor's Agency's administrative expenditures also have to be reflected on the ROPS, Administrative Budget 15-16A and the ROPS for the same period (ROPS 15-16A) should be consistent. The Successor Agency is required to submit ROPS 15-16A to the Oversight Board for approval and then submit the Oversight Board-approved ROPS 15-16A Agenda Item 2 to the State Department of Finance ("DOF"), State Controller and the County Auditor-Controller no later than 90 days before the next scheduled date on which the County Auditor-Controller is to make a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund ("RPTTF") disbursement to the Successor Agency. The deadline for submitting the Oversight Board-approved ROPS 15-16A to DOF is March 3, 2015. Staff has prepared a ROPS 15-16A for the Oversight Board's approval at this meeting as a separate agenda item. Staff recommends that the Board approve Administrative Budget 15-16A on the same date as the Board's approval of BOPS 15-16A. The Oversight Board must take action by resolution and must provide DOF, by electronic means, written notice and information about the Oversight Board's action. FISCAL IMPACT: Under the Redevelopment Dissolution Law, an Administrative Cost Allowance is paid to the Successor Agency from property tax revenues allocated by the County Auditor-Controller. The Administrative Cost Allowance is defined as an amount, subject to the approval of the Oversight Board, which is up to 3% of the property tax allocated for enforceable obligations from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund by the County Auditor-Controller. The amount shall not be less than $250,000 for any fiscal year unless the Oversight Board reduces this amount. The Administrative Cost Allowance is subject to reduction if there are insufficient funds to pay the enforceable obligations as listed on the ROPS. RECOMMENDATION That the Oversight Board for the Successor Agency to the City of Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency adopt Resolution No. OB15-01 approving a proposed administrative budget for the six-month fiscal period from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, and taking certain other related actions.
