SEAL BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 12, 2018
TO: Honorable Chair and Board Members
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, Executive Director
FROM: Victoria L. Beatley, Finance Officer
SUBJECT: RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE
FOR FISCAL YEAR FROM JULY 1, 2018 THROUGH
JUNE 30, 2019
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the Governing Board of the Successor Agency to the Seal Beach
Redevelopment Agency (the "Successor Agency') adopt Resolution
No. SA 18 -01, approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
( "ROPS ") for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 ( "ROPS 18-
19 ").
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 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 ROPS annually (instead of twice a year).
Deadline for ROPS Submission
All ROPS must be approved by the Oversight Board. Furthermore, each
Oversight Board - approved ROPS 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 ROPS 18 -19 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.
Agenda Item 4
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 ROPS 18 -19 no later than April 13, 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,
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, 2018 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 DOF's review of the related 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." 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 18 -19 to the DOF by February 1, 2018 or risk subjecting the City
of Seal Beach and the Successor Agency to severe penalties. However, Staff
was not in a position to finalize ROPS 18 -19 in time for presentation to the
Successor Agency Board at its regular January 2018 meeting dates. The law
does not require the Successor Agency Board to approve ROPS 18 -19 before
the Oversight Board - approved ROPS 18 -19 is submitted to the DOF. Staff
presented ROPS 18 -19 to the Oversight Board at its January 23, 2018 meeting
and was able to submit the Oversight Board - approved ROPS 18 -19 to the DOF
before the February 1, 2018 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 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.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Governing Board of the Successor Agency adopt Resolution
No. SA 18 -01, approving the ROPS 18 -19 and taking related actions.
