Ingram, Executive Director FROM: Victoria L. Beatley, Finance Officer SUBJECT: RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR FROM JULY 19 2017 THROUGH JUNE 309 2018 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the Governing Board of the Successor Agency to the Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency (the "Successor Agency") adopt Resolution No. SA 17 -01, approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ( "ROPS ") for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 ( "ROPS 17- 18 "). BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: Pursuant to Section 34177 of the California Health and Safety Code ( "HSC "), the Successor Agency must prepare a ROPS listing the anticipated payments for enforceable obligations to be made during each specified fiscal period. Previously, each BOPS covered a six -month period (commencing January 1 and July 1, respectively). SB 107, which was enacted in September 2015, amended HSC Section 34177, to provide that, beginning with fiscal year 2016 -17, the Successor Agency must prepare a BOPS annually (instead of twice a year). Deadline for ROPS Submission All BOPS must be approved by the Oversight Board. Furthermore, each Oversight Board - approved BOPS must be submitted to the State Department of Finance (the "DOF ") for review. HSC Section 34177 also requires the Successor Agency to submit an Oversight Board - approved BOPS 17 -18 to the DOF and to the County Auditor - Controller no later than February 1, 2017. A copy of the Oversight Board - approved BOPS must be posted on the Successor Agency's website. Agenda Item 3 The DOF may eliminate or modify any item on the BOPS before approving the BOPS. The DOF must make its determination regarding the enforceable obligations and the amount and funding source for each enforceable obligation listed on BOPS 17 -18 no later than April 15, 2017. Within five business days of the DOF's determination, the Successor Agency may request to "meet and confer" with the DOF on disputed items. The meet and confer period may vary, but an untimely submission of BOPS 17 -18 may result in a meet and confer period of less than 30 days. The County Auditor - Controller may object to the inclusion of any item on the BOPS that is not demonstrated to be an enforceable obligation and may object to the funding source proposed for any item. The County Auditor - Controller must provide notice of its objections to the DOF, the Successor Agency and the Oversight Board at least 60 days before disbursements from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund ( "RPTTF ") are required to be made. The County Auditor - Controller is required to make RPTTF disbursements to the Successor Agency pursuant to the DOF- approved BOPS 17 -18 on June 1, 2017 (to cover enforceable obligation payments from July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017) and January 2, 2018 (to cover enforceable obligation payments from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018). Penalties for Failure to Make Timely Submission If the Successor Agency does not submit an Oversight Board - approved ROPS 17 -18 by February 1, 2017, the City of Seal Beach will be subject to a civil penalty of $10,000 per day for every day that ROPS 17 -18 is not submitted to the DOF. The penalty will be paid to the County Auditor - Controller for distribution to the taxing entities. If the Successor Agency does not timely submit BOPS 17 -18, 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 ROPS 17 -18 within 10 days of the February 1, 2017 deadline, the Successor Agency's maximum administrative cost for that period will be reduced by 25 percent. If the Successor Agency fails to submit an Oversight Board - approved BOPS 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 order the County Auditor - Controller to withhold a scheduled RPTTF disbursement to the Successor Agency pending the DOF's review of the related BOPS. (It is not clear what is "the date upon which the ROPS is to be used to determine the amount of property tax allocations." Possibly, it is referring to October 1 and April 1, the dates by which the County Auditor - Controller must prepare estimates for the upcoming RPTTF disbursements on January 2 and June 1, respectively, and provide the estimates to the DOF, the Successor Agency and the taxing entities.) In conjunction with such a withholding, the DOF may order the County Auditor- Page 2 Controller to disburse to the taxing entities money from the RPTTF that the DOF determines to be in excess of the amount needed for enforceable obligations. Prior Oversight Board Action As discussed, the Successor Agency was required to submit an Oversight Board - approved ROPS 17 -18 to the DOF by February 1, 2017 or risk subjecting the City of Seal Beach and the Successor Agency to severe penalties. However, Staff was not in a position to finalize BOPS 17 -18 in time for presentation to the Successor Agency Board at its regular January 2017 meeting dates. The law does not require the Successor Agency Board to approve BOPS 17 -18 before the Oversight Board - approved BOPS 17 -18 is submitted to the DOF. Staff presented BOPS 17 -18 to the Oversight Board at its January 30, 2017 meeting and was able to submit the Oversight Board - approved BOPS 17 -18 to the DOF before the February 1, 2017 deadline. 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: The preparation and submittal of ROPS 17 -18 is for the purpose of allowing the Successor Agency to pay its enforceable obligations for the period from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. RECOMMENDATION: That the Governing Board of the Successor Agency adopt Resolution No. SA 17 -01, approving the BOPS 17 -18 and taking related actions. SUBM BY: vim-• �l". Victoria L.
