Dept.: Economic Development 
Subject:

Adoption of a Resolution approving the Amended Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS 18-19B).  (Action Item)

Date:9/11/2018

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this report is to request the Successor Agency to the Garden Grove Agency for Community Development (“Successor Agency”) adopt a Resolution Approving the Amended Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the 18-19 B period of January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019 (“ROPS 18-19 B”), subject to review and approval by the Oversight Board and the State Department of Finance (“DOF”).

BACKGROUND

The Successor Agency is performing its functions under Parts 1.8 and 1.85 of the California Health and Safety Code, as amended by Assembly Bill 1484 and other subsequent legislation including Senate Bill 107 (“SB 107”) (together, “Dissolution Law”), to administer the enforceable obligations and wind-down activities of the former Agency, all subject to the review and approval by an Oversight Board.

 

SB 107 modified the ROPS process and established an annual ROPS starting with ROPS 16-17 and provides for a one time amendment to annual ROPS. The ROPS is “the document setting forth the minimum payment amounts and due dates of payments required by enforceable obligations for each fiscal year as provided in subdivision (o) of Section 34177.”

 

Under the Dissolution Law, the Successor Agency may consider an amendment to ROPS 18-19 covering the B period of January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, and the Amended ROPS 18-19 B must be submitted to the DOF no later than October 1, 2018.

DISCUSSION

An amendment to ROPS 18-19 has been prepared to increase Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”) funding for the B period for one Line Item and to increase “Other Funds” on another Line Item.  The amended Line Items on ROPS 18-19 B are detailed as follows. 

  1. Line Item #6 – Katella Cottages OPA, increase RPTTF budget by $16,080.  Approved allowable expenses incurred during ROPS 17-18, were submitted for payment and paid in ROPS 18-19A.
  2. Line # 27 – Agency Property Maintenance/Management, increase “Other Funds” budget by $108.  Approved allowable expenses incurred during ROPS 17-18, were submitted for payment and paid in ROPS 18-19A.

The table below highlights the proposed amendment to the B period in ROPS 18-19 that would increase the B period budget by $16,080 from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”) and increase the budget for “Other Funds” by $108.   

Approved B Period

(1/1/19-6/30/19)

$10,656,693

Amended B Period

(1/1/19-6/30/19)

$10,672,881

FINANCIAL IMPACT

None until approved by the DOF.  If the DOF approves the Amended ROPS as submitted, the Successor Agency will increase its previously authorized ROPS 18-19 B distribution amount of $10,656,693 to $10,672,881, a difference of $16,188 in RPTTF funds for the period of January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, to pay the Successor Agency’s enforceable obligations.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the Successor Agency:

 

  • Adopt the attached Resolution Approving Amended ROPS 18-19 B for the period of January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, subject to submittal to and review by the Oversight Board and then by the State Department of Finance, and authorizing posting and transmittal of the ROPS.  Further, the Community and Economic Development Director and her designees, in consultation with legal counsel, shall be authorized to make augmentations, modifications, additions or revisions as may be necessary or directed by DOF.
