Beatley, Staff Member SUBJECT: RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR JULY 1, 2018 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2019 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff recommends that the Oversight Board for the Successor Agency to the Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency (the "Oversight Board") adopt Resolution No. OB 18-01 approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the annual period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 ("ROPS 18-19"). BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: Pursuant to Section 34177 of the Health and Safety Code ("HSC"), in order to make payments on enforceable obligations, the Successor Agency must prepare a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS") for specified fiscal periods. Previously, each ROPS 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). All ROPS must be approved by the Oversight Board. Furthermore, each Oversight Board -approved BOPS must be submitted to the DOF for review. HSC Section 34177 also requires the Successor Agency to submit an Oversight Board -approved ROPS to the DOF and to the County Auditor -Controller no later than February 1, 2018. A copy of the Oversight Board -approved ROPS must be posted on the Successor Agency's website. The DOF may eliminate or modify any item on the ROPS before approving the ROPS. The DOF must make its determination regarding the enforceable obligations and the amount and funding source for each enforceable obligation listed on BOPS 18-19 no later than April 15, 2018. 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, Agenda Item 2 but an untimely submission of ROPS 18-19 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 ROPS 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 ROPS 18-19 on June 1, 2018 (to cover enforceable obligation payments from July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018) and January 2, 2019 (to cover enforceable obligation payments from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019). Penalties for Failure to Make Timely Submission If the Successor Agency does not submit an Oversight Board -approved ROPS 18-19 by February 1, 2018, the City of Seal Beach will be subject to a civil penalty of $10,000 per day for every day that ROPS 18-19 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 ROPS 18-19, 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 18.19 within 10 days of the February 1, 2018 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 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 order the County Auditor -Controller to withhold a scheduled RPTTF disbursement to the Successor Agency pending the DOFs 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 - 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. Staff recommends that the Oversight Board adopt Resolution OB 18-01 approving ROPS 18-19 and taking certain related actions. Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT: The preparation and submittal of ROPS 18-19 is for the purpose of allowing the Successor Agency to pay its enforceable obligations for the period from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. It is recommended that the Oversight Board adopt Resolution No. OB 18-01, approving the ROPS 18-19 and taking related actions.
