January 26, 2012
SPEAKER: Gordon Graham
AFFAIRS OF GOVERNMENT 2012:
Some Thoughts on "Real" Risk Management
Thanks for inviting me to speak to you regarding our chosen profession, Government. I
was told that I have a mixed group of Public Sector professionals including City
Managers, Risk Managers, Personnel Directors, Leaders in Public Safety and many
others who are interested in the discipline of Risk Management.
I have possibly met some of you in prior presentations, and if that is true you know my
focus in life is in the Management of Risk. In 1975 I got hooked on the study of
tragedies - and I have spent way too much time studying maritime tragedies, mining
tragedies, refinery tragedies, train tragedies, plane tragedies, bridge tragedies, building
tragedies and power plant tragedies.
When you take a look at any tragedy in any profession and look for "what caused it?" - it
is easy to spot the "proximate" cause. The event that instantly precedes the tragedy is
relatively easy to spot. But real Risk Managers do not stop their search for cause with
identifying the "proximate" cause. Real Risk Managers go back in time and look for
"problems lying in wait" - that people knew about or should know about - yet these
problems are oftentimes ignored until the tragedy occurs.
Your role (and the role of everyone in government) is to take a daily look at your sphere
of influence - your span of control - and ask this question. Do we have problems lying
in wait in our fleet? Do we have problems lying in wait in our infrastructure? Do we
have problems lying in wait amongst our personnel? And if you identify such an issue-
that needs to be addressed.
If you fail to identify and address these problems "lying in wait" sooner or later all the
holes in the Swiss Cheese are going to become aligned - and when that happens the
tragedy occurs - and then the lawyers take over and the "problems lying in wait" are then
identified and addressed - after the fact.
I gave you a number of examples from a variety of professions earlier today, but my
focus today in on government operations which today face and unprecedented level of
risk. So what can we do? Let's take the time to define the words.
1
Strategic Hint: Do you do an initial Background Investigation on your personnel? And
after date of hire, when is the next time you do a background check on your personnel?
Strategic Hint: If I were to "audit" two years worth of Performance Evaluations, what
would I find?
Rule 3. Supervisors have to face bad news when it comes, and take
problems to a level high enough to fix those problems.
. When you take an honest look at tragedies in any aspect of government, from the lawsuits
to the injuries, deaths, embarrassments, internal investigations and even the rare criminal
filing, so many of them get down to supervisors not behaving like supervisors. The
primary mission of a supervisor is "systems implementation".
If you promote people who either can't or won't enforce policy, you are in route to
tragedy. To be sure, the transition from line employee to supervisor is a difficult one, but
the people you choose to be supervisors have to like their people so much, that they will
enforce the policy to protect each of them from harm or loss.
Not to beat this point to death, but you show me a tragedy in government operations _
including some in the news today - and I will show you the fingerprints of a supervisor
not behaving like a supervisor.
Strategic Hint: Have you considered bringing back the "best of the best" to help train
new supervisors?
Strategic Hint: Do you analyze events that end up without problems?
Rule 4. You must have a healthy respect for the dangers and risks of
your particular job.
Many government jobs are high risk in nature, and the consequences for not doing things
right can be dramatic. Remember the basic rules of Risk Management. RPM-
Recognize, Prioritize, Mobilize.
You must do a risk assessment on each job in every government department and identify
the tasks that have the highest probability of causing you grief. Then you must prioritize
these tasks in terms of potential frequency, severity and available time to think prior to
acting. Finally, you must mobilize (act) to address the recognized risks appropriately and
prevent consequences.
Strategic Hint: Have you done a risk assessment on each job in your city/county and
have you identified the "core critical tasks" in that job?
6
Strategic Hint: Do you study similarly situated organizations to see what they have
experienced in their operations?
Rule 5. Training must be constant and rigorous.
Every day must be a training day! We must focus the training on the tasks in every job
description that have the highest probability of causing us grief. These are the High Risk,
Low Frequency, Non Discretionary time events.
We must assure that all personnel are adequately trained to address the tasks that give
them no time to think, and that they understand the value of thinking things through when
time allows.
Strategic Hint: Do you have a training program that focuses on "core critical tasks"?
Strategic Hint: Do you have a process in place to identify emerging CCT's?
Rule 6. All the functions of repair, quality control and technical
support must fit together.
Audits and inspections are an important part of your job as a leader in government. We
cannot assume that all is going well. We must have control measures in place to assure
things are being done right. This is not micro-management - It is called doing your job.
. If you do not have the audits (formal and informal) in place, you will not know about
problems until they become consequences, and then you are in the domain of lawyers.
That is too late for action, as all you can do then is address the consequences.
And if you take the time to study the life of Admiral Rickover, you will quickly learn that
he was widely despised in the Navy because of his insistence on using the audit process
as a tool to hold people accountable.
Strategic Hint: Do you have audits in place to assure what you say you are doing is in
fact being done?
Rule 7. The organization and members thereof must have the ability
and willingness to learn from mistakes of the past.
Analysis of past data is the foundation for almost all of risk management. We
(government operations) keep on making the same mistakes over and over again.
As I read the lawsuits, injuries and deaths, organizational embarrassments,
internal investigations and even the rare criminal filing against our personnel I
know that we can learn so much by studying the mistakes we have made in the
past.
7
Strategic Hint: Do you have a process in place to study the tragedies of similarly
situated cities and counties? We must have the ability and willingness to learn
from mistakes of the past - not just in our organization but in similarly situated
organizations also.
Anyhow, it was an honor to address you today. I could ramble on
regarding this issues for several days, but I won't do that today. I
hope you leave with an enhanced vision of the value of "real" risk
management.
And I hope our discussion today will give you something you can
do when you get back to work to improve your specific
government operations.
Finally, please keep our soldiers and sailors in your prayers. Without
them, we would be in one heck of a fix right now.
I look forward to seeing you again soon. In the interim, if you need
anything, please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.

ROHNERT PARK CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA REPORT
February 14, 2012
Administration
Gabriel A. Gonzalez, City Manager
Linda T. Babonis, Economic Development Manager
The purpose of the work session is to provide Council with an update on the latest developments pertaining to
the dissolution of the former Community Development Commission ("CDC"). Staff recognizes that they will
most likely have a great amount of questions and staff is prepared to provide answers; however, what staff is
realizing is that there is very little guidance and direction coming from the state, specifically, the Department of
Finance and State Controller's Office, the two agencies responsible for implementation of AB IX 26.
To this end, staff has been participating in webinars and conference calls to obtain the most recent information
on dissolution procedures. While these venues have served a purpose to inform agency staff, there has been
very little clarification or answers to the many questions being raised by Successor Agencies throughout the
state. The majority of questions being raised are of a legal content. This has proven to be a difficult discussion
to have with the Department of Finance because the AB IX 26 is vague and ambiguous. Put simply, each
Successor Agency is having to interpret the language of AB IX 26 on its ~wn with its own legal counsel. There
continues to be ongoing training and information almost daily on how to continue with the implementation of
AB IX 26. Staff has been and will continue to participate in these ongoing training sessions.
The proposed outcome of the work session is for Council to have a comprehensive understanding of everything
that is going on with the dissolution of the former CDC. Staff has prepared an agenda that will cover the
various components of AB 1 X 26 as well as the list of assets, debt, bond proceeds, impacts to General Fund and
discuss next steps of the dissolution of the former CDC.
Given that new interpretations are being made almost daily, by the Department of Finance, staff will present
more detailed information at the work session.
The following lists relevant background informational material that is being provided in advance of the City
Council Work Session.

ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Q: What do we do about amending our EOPS and how is it used?
A: In order to make payments on obligations, an RDA needs to have an adopted EOPS. As the original EOPS
adopted last fall only included payments until December, therefore the EOPS must be amended to extend its time
horizon. The amendment must be done at a public meeting by January 31st. sent to the county auditor controller and
DOF, and posted on the RDA or City website as before.
Q: What time period does the amended EOPS cover?
A: We recommend amending the EOPS cover the time period between Jan 1,2012 and June 30, 2012 to clarify any
cash flow issues, and accommodate further adjustments to the dissolution time line that could arise.
Q: What should be included in the EOPS?
A: All obligations that need to be paid until June 30th. This would include administrative costs, and the entire amount
of any bond or loan debt that needs to be put into reserve or kept in order to make payments as required by
indentures and agreements.
Q: What about the IROPS, do we have to amend it?
A: The IROPS has no legal stature, and is essentially a first draft of the ROPS. If the RDA previously adopted one, it
makes sense to formally amend it to match the amended EOPS as needed. Otherwise, it should be prepared/revised
as an administrative task by Jan. 30th.
Q: What happens to the IROPS if it has no legal stature?
A: The IROPS is the responsibility of the redevelopment agency. Once the successor agency is in place, it can make
any further updates and revisions it sees fit before submitting its version (the Draft ROPS) to the county for
certification. That version must be prepared by March 1st.
Q: When and how does the ROPS become effective?
A: Following dissolution, a ROPS must be prepared twice annually until all debt is repaid. The first ROPS becomes
effective May 1st and lasts until June 30th. An independent certification conducted by the County, approval from the
Oversight Board rOB"), and submittal to the State are all required by April 15th. The subsequent ROPS will cover
the July 1 to December 31st time period. Given the short time frame of the first ROPS, we suggest preparing both
the first and the second ROPS at the same time if possible.
Q: Shoutd cooperative agreements remain on the ROPS?
A: We recommend leaving cooperative agreements on the ROPS at this time, in order to reserve the right to
challenge the invalidation of these agreements. Please seek legal counsel on this issue as it pertains to your specific
situation.
Q: Should we make pass through payments to taxing entities from tax increment received in December and
January?
A: As the legislation and Court-modified timeline make it unclear how taxing agencies should be paid between Jan 1
and June 30th of this year, we suggest holding off on payments at this time until a resolution can be reached with
your county. Calculate the pass through obligations, but just eannark and maintain the funds needed to pay these
pass throughs.
Q: When will the limitations on administrative expenses kick in?
A: Ifs unclear how administration expenses will be accounted for prior to July 1st2012. We recommend continuing
to pay for all reasonable expenses as needed to wind down the affairs of the agency and uphold agreements with
employee labor organizations. Include these costs on the EOPS and ROPS.
Q: I have administration expenses associated with an ongoing project. Do I have to provide for those costs
within the 5%/$250,000 allowance?
A: We recommend including any administrative costs directly tied to a project with the project cost itself, not within
the catch-all administrative budget.
Q: Do we need to setect a successor housing entity?
A: Yes. We recommend all cities to either designate themselves as the successor housing entity, or declare which
local housing authority should assume these responsibilities. Cities should discuss the potential liability issues for
assuming the obligations for Housing with their legal counsel. Cities may also like to incorporate language into any
resolution allowing them to rescind a selection if the obligations are found to exceed any assets or resources to be
received.
Q: How is an Oversight Board formed?
A: Though the law does not specifically task the Successor Agency with ensuring formation, we recommend
initiating this process soon to allow time to organize and educate the OB, as well as have the first ROPS (covering
May and June) approved no later than April 15th.
Q: How is the largest special district determined?
A: The Successor Agency will likely need to work with the county to detennine this. The legislation does not identify
whether the 'largest share" is detennined on a pre- or post-ERAF basis.
Q: When willi remit the existing unencumbered fund balances to the county auditor controller?
A: The legislation does not give a specific deadline for this action. We recommend holding off on any transfer of
funds or assets until specifically directed to by the Oversight Board and once all accounting and cash flow issues are
resolved.

Q: What about bond proceeds?
A: At this time, there is no definitive answer on whether or not unencumbered bond proceeds can be spent by the
Successor Agency. Many redevelopment professionals believe the bond covenants constitute a contract with the
bond holders and thus must be spent accordingly. As with other fund balances, we recommend holding off on
remitting these proceeds as more information may become available.

Initial Summary of Bond-Related Technical Issues
Regardin. the Implementation of ABx26
eRA Bond Subcommittee
(Prepared for discussion purposes for CRA Webinar on 1/26/12)
Background
Section 34175 (a) of ABx26 states that:
"It is the intent of this part that pledges of revenues associated with enforceable obligations of the
former redevelopment agencies are to be honored. It is intended that the cessation of any
redevelopment agency shall not affect either the pledge, the legal existence of that pledged, or the
stream of revenues available to meet the requirements of that pledge."
Initial guidance from the State Department of Finance staff affirm their interest and expectation that
County auditor-controllers, successor agencies and other interested parties implement the law with this
intent in mind. As described on the following pages, several technical issues have arisen that require
guidance and/or potential legislation. The purpose of this webinar is to share our understanding of
these issues, answer questions and potentially identify any additional issUes that warrant aUention.
Initial Summary of Bond.Related technical Issues
(1) Source of fundil,. for bond payments throulh May 16, 2012
(2) Uen priority andsemt-annual payment schedules
(3) Implied poolinc of distinct security sources

eRA Bond Subcommittee on ABx26 Implementation
Bond-Related Technical Issues That Require Immediate Oariflcation
(1) Source of fUndin. for bond payments throulh May 16, 2()12
Property tax revenues are collected by counties in early December and April of each year and
typically distributed to various taxing entities within several days or weeks thereafter with a
final reconciliation payment made in June. Section 34183(a)(2) specifies that each county
auditor-controller will forward moneys in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (formerly
tax increment) QUJanuary 16, 2012 and June 1, 2012. The Supreme Court opinion amended the
January 16,2012 date to May 16, 2012.
We believe county auditor-controllers should forward the allocable share of December property
tax receipts due to redevelopment agencies expeditiously. If those funds are held back by
counties until May, many redevelopment agencies or SUCCeSsor agencies could experience
payment defaults, reserve fund draws and/or insurance policy claims as most of the "'$20 billion
in outstanding tax allocation bonds have interest or principal and interest debt service payments
scheduled for the first day of February, March, April or May, 2012.
(2). Lien priority and semi-annual payment schedules
AS noted above, Section 34183(a)(2) provides for a semi-annual transfer of allocable property
tax funds from county auditor-controllers to successor agencies with a waterfall of payment
priorities on each semi-annual transfer date.
First, most tax allocation bonds are structured with semi-annual interest payments and annual
principal payments. Typically, revenues collected within a fiscal year are applied to bond
payments in the lagging bond year (ending on the principal payment date), with the smaller
interest payment due in the spring paid from December tax receipts and the larger principal and
interest payment due in the late summer or fall paid from remaining December tax receipts Il!.Y!
April tax receipts. If county auditor-controllers only forward to successor agencies the interest
amount payable from December receipts and distribute the balance to other entities, in many
cases the trust fund will not have sufficient funds from the April receipts to cover the principal
and interest payment due later in the year.
Second, most debt security documents require that the full annual debt payments due from a
fiscal year's revenues are sequestered in a pledSed fund before excess revenues can be released
to other purposes - such as subordinate bonds or subordinate pass thru payments. AB 26
section effectively undermines the lien status of agency obligations by releasing funds to
subordinate claims on a $em;..annual basis before annual senior claims have been satisfied.
2
(3) Implied poolina of distinct sec;urity sources
Section 34170.S(b) directs each county auditor-controller to "create within the county treasury
a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund for property tax revenues related to each former
redevelopment agency." This language provides no direction on accounting for housing set~
aside funds or multiple project areas of a redevelopment agency. Many agencies have
separately leveraged tax increment from distinct project areas and/or for the housing set-aside
of one or more project areas. Each of these securities may have distinct credit characteristics,
bonded debt leverage, pass through payment obligations and credit ratings. To the extent these
funds are co-mingled at the agency or county level, the credits securing outstanding bonds could
be materially changed - in some cases positively, in other cases negatively. Further, rating
agencies and investors look to debt service coverage ratios as an important indication of credit
quality. Investors' ability to appropriately track and value their investments could be impaired;
this could lead to litigation against the State for impairment of contracts.
(4) Use of bond proceeds, lecalcovenants and federal tax law limitations
Section 34177(d) and (e) directs successor agencies to "remit unencumbered balances of
redevelopment agency funds to the county auditor-controller for distribution to the taxing
entities" and "dispose of assets and properties of the former redevelopment agency." later,
Section 34177(i) states that "bond proceeds shall be used for the purposes for which bonds
were sold unless the purpOSes can no longer be achieved, in which case, the proceeds may be
used to defease the bonds."
This language has created confusion among agencies, counties and other taxing entities. Timing
delays on the use of bond proceeds caused by this confusion could jeopardize the tax status of
previously issued bonds. We don't believe unspent bond proceeds can, in any sense, be
considered "unencumbered funds" in light of the legal covenants and federal tax law and
regulations governing their use. However, in some cases, in order for successor agencies to use
bond proceeds for their intended purposes, agencies may still need to execute contracts.
(5) Disposition of bond-funded assets and federal tax law limitations
As noted above, Section 34177(e) directs successor agencies to "dispose of assets and
properties of the former redevelopment agency." In many cases, the assets of redevelopment
agencies were funded through the use of tax-exempt bond proceeds (or taxable Build America
Bond proceeds). Consequently, the cash proceeds of a sale of these bond~funded assets would
be governed by federal tax law and may be required to be used to redeem or defease bonds
and/or be limited to eligible capital projects. Given the bond covenants redevelopment
agencies entered into at the time of issuance to comply with federal tax law, successor agencies
can't reasonably turn over those bond-funded proceeds to other entities without dear
commitments from the recipient taxing entities to assume the responsibility (and liability) for
fulfUJin8 these covenants.
3
(6) Bond Refundincs
Section 34180(b) provides that a successor agency may, with oversight board approval, refund
outstanding bonds or other debt of the former redevelopment agency by the successor agency
"in order to provide for savings or to finance debt service spikes; provided, however, that no
additional debt is created and debt service is not accelerated."
In many cases, a bond refunding can generate annual debt service savings due to lower interest
rates even though the principal balance increases to cover costs of issuance, debt service
reserves and/or insurance premium. For refinancings of bond anticipation notes, variable rate
financings for which renewal LOCs aren't available on reasonable terms or other balloon
payments, an increase in principal is particularly likely. A literal reading of the statute would
suggest that these refundings can't be completed.
In addition, due to the ambiguity over the powers of the successor agencies and the elimination
of the concept of "tax increment", it's not clear who could be the issuer of the refunding debt
and what the security source would be.
(7) Other Bond Covenants
Most, if not all, bond. indentures require redevelopment agencies to prepare an annual audit of
agency financings. Most redevelopment agencies also executed continuing disclosure
agreements, promising ongoing information reporting on key credit metrics and financial
condition as long as certain bond issues are outstanding. Arguably, upon the dissolution of a
redevelopment agency, these obligations and the cost of fulfilling them become obligations of
the successor agency.
(8) Pre-1989 Tax fbte Overrides
Prior to the enactment of AB1x26, the amount of any tax rate override approved by voters
before January 1, 1989 was included in the calculation of tax increment revenues. Section
34183(a)(1) changes that, directing Auditor-Controllers to allocate the tax increment
revenues derived from these pre-1989 overrides to the taxing entities that levied the tax rate:
"Notwithstanding subdivision (e) of Section 33670, that portion of the taxes in excess of
the amount identified in subdivision (a) of Section 33670, which are attributable to a tax
rate levied by a taxing agency for the purpose of producing revenues in an amount
sufficient to make annual repayments of the principal of, and the interest on, any
bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property shall be
allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, the fund of that taxing agency."
To the extent that some agencies have pledged tax increment revenues derived from the pre-
19890verride tax rate to outstanding bonds, this change would reduce an agency's available
revenues to repay debt and weaken the credit of the outstanding bonds. In addition, the
language is confusing in its appltcation to tax rate overrides for purposes other than "for the
acquisition or improvement of real property" such as pension levies.

Recommended Accounting Approach Applicable to AD lX26
Q: What should the accounting structure be for the Successor Agency when it takes over the operations
of the redevelopment agency?
A: No formal structure is mandated by the legislation and no guidance has been indicated by either the
Controller's Office or the Department of Finance. In order to maintain the structure required by
bonding arrangements and to have a structure which could allow for future project reporting, it is
suggested that on February 1, 2012 redevelopment agencies change the name of their entities from
Redevelopment Agency to City (or County) of as Successor Redevelopment Agency in
the accounting records. Therefore, the agency's structure would continue, with project area
accounting, under the name of the Successor Agency, and the Successor Agency would continue to
account for transactions within the existing structure. Utilizing this approach, if reporting is needed
on the Agency (prior to dissolution), reports can be run through January 31, 2012 and if reporting is
needed on the Successor Agency, reports can be run from February 1, 2012 through the end of the
2011-12 fiscal year, and thereafter.
Q: How should the Low and Moderate Housing operation be accounted for if the City or County
becomes the Housing Successor, since that succeeding entity assumes all housing "assets", but as of
this date existing Housing Fund balance(s) are excluded unless Senate Bill 654 is enacted?
A: The successor to the Agency's housing functions, unlike the Successor Agency, will act in its own
capacity relative to the former housing functions of the Agency. Therefore, housing assets transferred
to the Housing Successor should be titled in the name of the entity assuming the Agency's housing
functions, either tbe sponsoring city/county, a housing authority, or HCD.
However, unless SB 654 passes, the existing unencumbred balances in the Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund must be transferred to the Successor Agency rather than to the Housing Successor. As
with other funds transferred to the Successor Agency, the existing accounting structure should be
maintained for balances in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, including project area
accounting.
As part of the process of evaluation of assets, agencies should comprehensively inventory all assets;
and designate whether they are housing assets, and so transferred to the Housing Successor (with the
exception of balances in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund), or other redevelopment
agency assets, and so transferred to the Successor Agency.
Qo How should the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund be created with the accounting structure?
A: This accounting fund is created by the legislation to take in allocations from the County and utilize
those to pay obligations specified on the EOPS or ROPS. As such, this fund needs to be established in
the Successor Agency; however, due to the nature of bonding covenants and requirements, we suggest
that one of these funds be created for each of the current project areas present in the Agency.
Hopefully, the County will allocate monies to the Successor Agency by project area and the Successor
Agency can record those amounts in the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund of the applicable
project area( s). Then transfers of the amount to the appropriate debt servicing funds and to the
Successor Housing Agency (for housing debt) to accomplish debt repayment can occur.
Recommended Accounting Approach Applicable to AD lX26
Q. Should agencies transfer monies on February 1, 2012?
A: As indicated in prior Q & A discussions put out by CRA, we are in agreement that the legislation does
not give a specific deadline or detail a particular process for this action. From an accounting
standpoint, the renaming of the accounting records has. in effect transferred those assets to the
Successor Agency on the financial records. We also recommend holding off on any transfer of
monies or assets until specifically directed to by the Oversight Board and once all accounting and cash
flow issues are resolved. For agencies which have a pooled banking arrangement with their City or
County, they may wish to consider establishing separate banking arrangements under the name of the
Successor Agencies. This could be beneficial in avoiding inadvertent uses of City money for future
possible shortages in cash flow that could be created by payments from the County which do not
match debt service dates.
Q: How will the operations and the future disposition of assets be recorded in the Successor Agency?
A: Proceeds earned by the Successor Agency post-dissolution (such as proceeds of asset sales) should
not go to the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund; but, instead (h,s~ should . ~o to the carried-
over funds of the former Agency that they would have nonnally gone to. From February 1, 2012
through May 1,2012, the Successor Agency should pay obligations listed on the EOPS using retained
agency monies. From May 1,2012 to May 16,2012, these same retained funds should be used to pay
obligations listed on the ROPS. After May 162012, the County should have allocated funds to the
Successor Agency's Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund to pay ROPS obligations. However,
any successor agency income should be retained until the ROPS is approved andthe successor agency
is certain it will have sufficient income to meet its obligations.
What are OUr options concerning turning OVer the housing functions to another entity
The host City County can elect to retain the BOA HoUsing functions and assets or not If a City declines
and the City has a local Housing Authority or the city is establishing a local housing authority then the
City may select the Housing Authority to assume the housing assets and functions If a City declines and
if your City does not have a Housing Authority then the County s Housing Authority will assume the
housing aSSets and functions If there are no local Housing Authorities in the city or COunty then the
housing aSSets and functions are assumed by and transferred to State Housing and Community
Development HCO There are potential risks and advantages associated with each option and
redevelopment agencies are enCOUraged to discuss these with their attorneys and financial advisors
ABx 6 AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROVISIONS
What is the difference between the Successor Agency and the Housing Successor
The City or County that formed the BOA becomes the Successor Agency unless it opted not to by
January '" All assets properties COntracts leases books and records bUildings and equipment of the
BOA except for most affordable housing assets transfer to the Successor Agency whose task is to
unwind and liquidate the non affordable housing assets under the control of the Oversight board
In contrast another part of AB x 6 states that the City or County that authorized creation of the BOA
may elect to retain the afforda ble housing assets and functions previously performed by the BOA If the
City or County so elects or if these functions pass on to the hOusing authority or HCO all former BOA
housing related rights powers duties and obligations excluding amounts in the low and Moderate
Income Housing Fund Housing FUnd pass to this entity HoUsing Successor
The Housing Successor is not subject to the Oversight Board s Control If the Housing Successor is the
City or County it is the City or County acting in its Own capacity and not as a Successor Agency
What happens to Affordable Housing Assets on February
All BOA affordable housing assets excluding the existing Housing Fund balance transfer to the Housing
SUccessor The disposition of the eXisting Housing FUnd balance is somewhat unclear in the law as one
section states that it transfers to the BOA s Successor Agency and is ultimateiy remitted to the County
Auditor Controller for distribution to the taxing entities while another section of statute provides that
the Oversight board can order the Successor Agency to turn over all former BOA affordable housing
assets including the existing Housing Fund balance to the Housing Successor By operation of law the
entire Housing FUnd balance will transfer to the Successor Agency on February It is suggested that
the Successor Agency then transfer the encumbered Housing Funds to the Housing Successor to use for
housing obligations and retain POssession of the unencumbered Housing Fund i e not send them to the
County Auditor Controller until further clarification is made perhaps by the passage of SB 6
What happens to remaining tax exempt and taxable Housing bond proceeds
Bond proceeds are to be spent for the purposes for which they were issued unless those purposes can
no longer be achieved and then they are used to defease bonds The law is not clear as to who makes
this determination There appears to be a strong argument for transferring Housing bond proceeds to
the Housing Successor to be used for their intended purpose but check with your bond legal counsel
HoW is debt service on outstanding Housing bonds paid
The bond debt should be listed as an Enforceable Obligation on the EOPS ROPS and be paid by the
successor Agency
What responsibilities wilt Housing Successor have
They have all rights powers duties and obligations of the former RDA They !J!a", enforce affordability
covenants and perform related activities pursuant to the CRL SB 6 would change may to shall
As written ABx 6 is not clear if the Housing successor must meet any existing or future Replacement
Housing or Inclusionary Housing obligations nor is it clear whether the Housing successor exercises
pnwers and performs activities pursuant to the CRL statutes that have been repealed or otherwise
declared inoperative
Does the Oversight Board oversee the Housing Successor
No based on AB x G provisions at this date
ABx says that amounts borrowed from the Housing Fund must be repaid Where do
these funds go To the successor AgenCY or to the Housing successor
Loan repayments lease payments repayments of Housing Fund deferrals and ERAF SERAF loans are all
affordable housing related accounts receivable and are therefore considered affordable housing assets
of the former redevelopment agency which will pass to the Housing successor entity payments on
these accounts receivable will therefore go to the Housing successor
9 What should staff do to prepare for transfer of assets and functions to the Housing
Successor
Since assets and obligations will transfer to the successor AgenCY and Housing Successor by operation of
law on February " without deeds or assignment agreements it is recommended that RDA staff
prepare exit memos one to the successor Agency and one to the Housing successor delineating
which assets and obligations will transfer to the successor AgenD/ and which will transfer to the Housing
successor so there is an internal record of these transfers It is Suggested that as part of the successor
Agency s setting up of neW accounts a separate affordable housing account be established for the
existing balance in the RDA s Housing Fund pending the County audit and outcome of SB6 Also the
Housing successor should create a neW affordable housing fund in its accounts where any
encumbered affordable housing assets transferred from the successor AgenD/ as well as funds received
by the Housing successor from third parties as loan repayments ground lease payments or sales
proceeds should be placed until used pursuant to CRL applicable to the use of the former Housing
Fund and if the Housing successor is a housing authority pursuant to applicable provisions of the
Housing Authorities laW Health Safety Code section et seq Notices should be sent to parties
of all affordable housing contracts informing them of the name and address of the Housing successor
for communications and payments If the Housing successor inherits a subordinate mortgage lien from
the former RDA a new request for notice of default under prior liens should be recorded against the
property including the successor agency s name and address
If 58 Steinberg is signed into law what will be different
If the January version of SB6 is adopted assets transferred to the Housing successor will
in~llJ.<W the existing unencumbered Housing Fund balance Also the County Housing Authority can
reject becoming the Housing successor in which case the responsibility will go to HCD Aiso the
Housing successor shall as opposed to may enforce affordability covenants and perform related
activities pursuant to CRl
Should our Agency follow the recommendations outlined in the Western Center s
memorandum of January
Western Center on Law Poverty has taken the position that the total projected amount of the
Housing Fund that would be accumulated through the remaining life of the Redevelopment Plan is
indebtedness of the Agency and thus an Enforceable Obligation and should be reflected as an
enforceable obligation listed on the EOPS and ROPS Western Center on Law Poverty also states in
the memorandum that every Agency has a legal obligation to include the total Housing Fund debt on
the EOPS and the subsequent ROPS Many redevelopment lawyers and practitioners have reviewed this
memorandum and do not find its arguments compelling thus they do not concur with or conclude
there is a legal obligation However RDAs and Successor Agencies may wish to include the annual
distribution of low and moderate housing funds as a debt on the EOPS ROPS and allow the
Oversight Board and or County Auditor Controller and or DOF to make the final determination
Is there a cost allowance for the administration of the Housing Successor
White ABx 6 provides an administrative cost allowance for the Successor Agency subject to the
approval by the Oversight Board it does not address costs related to the administration of the
Housing Successor Therefore the Housing Successor will be responsible for administration costs
Generally Agencies are listing all affordable housing obligations as enforceable obligations on the EOPS
and ROPS This strategy is being employed in order to seek to receive reimbursement for staffing costs
as direct project costs for implementation of Enforceable Obligations Administrative costs of the
Housing Successor can also be paid with program income or the Successor Agency may chose to share
its administrative cost allowance with the Housing Successor

Redevelopment Agency Dissolution Under ABx1 26
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are the enforceable obligations for projects partially underway?
Many agencies and parties interested in various projects have asked about instances in
which a "project" may have been defined very broadly and within it are various actual or
potential land acquisitions, site remediation, site improvements, building construction or
reconstruction, and other work. Some contracts may exist for portions of this broadly
defined project but other components may not yet be fully obligated by contract with
other parties. Work components may be completed or in progress. These questions
revolve around what, if any, portions of these projects can be considered enforceable
obligations under ABx1 26.
A. Generally, Finance believes ABx1 26 provides that written contracts for specific
performance with parties that are not the sponsoring agency are what qualify as
enforceable obligations. Plans, statements of intent, statements of intent to award,
designations of project areas, descriptions or lists of projects, or .commitments by the
agency without any counter party (other than the local agency that formed the
redevelopment agency) will Qot be considered enforceable obligations. Contracts too
vague to be enforceable are also not enforceable obligations. Contracts to develop
future proposals or future contracts are limited to the work that is specified sufficiently so
that it could be enforced. A contract to design something does not imply or become a
contract to construct unless such extension or inclusion is specifically called out in the
contract and compensation is specified for it, such as in a design-build contract.
Specific situations involving bonds that have been sold but for which the specific things
to be done with the bond proceeds are not obligated through contracts for performance
will have to be reviewed to see if obligations to bond holders require such contracts to be
made by successor agencies or whether bonds must be defeased.
While this may result in some work being completed that has little apparent current
value, ABx1 26 provides that the oversight board may terminate contracts and provide
compensation to avoid wastage of funds. Department of Finance encourages successor
agencies and oversight boards to review opportunities to do this as they are constructing
and approving Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules.
There are many different fact situations that will arise that we cannot anticipate or
provide advance guidance on. Finance encourages parties that are concerned about
specific situations to bring them to our attention by submitting questions and information
regarding the specific situation to the Redevelopment Administration website. While we
cannot promise to provide a quick or definitive answer, we will endeavor to do so
whenever possible. We will try to provide a fairly early indication that we think the
situation requires further information and review. Please provide the name, phone
number and e-mail address of a principal contact person with whom we can follow up.
In those cases where Finance and the Controller do not initially come toa conclusion or
need further review time, we are prepared to approve the Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule (ROPS) without the questioned item, if that is a practical option. If
Department of Finance
AS xi 26-Expectations and understandings regarding bond payments
Various interested parties have raised questions about how AB x1 26 may affect various
types of debt instruments that have been issued by redevelopment agencies. The
Qepartment of Finance will endeavor to administer its responsibilities under the act and
provide guidance as questions arise so as to achieve the intent of the law that bond
holders and other obligors be protected. The Department of Finance believes that while
AB xi 26 does not specifically recite every possible requirement, it does place
affirmative duty to perform obligations required pursuant to bond covenants and
~greements. It is the Department's expectation that redevelopment agencies, successor
agencies, oversight boards, and county auditors will take appropriate actions to comply
with obligations as they have in the past.
Q. What Should Happen to Bond Payments due on February 1, 2012?
Abxi 26 requires compliance with all obligations contained in enforceable obligations.
Bond payments due on February 1, 2012, should be paid in accordance with the bond
covenants, which likely require payments be made to a trustee prior to the February 151
due date. In general, bond documents require the payment of funds a couple of days
prior to the due date so that the trustee can make the debt service payment on time.
Further, even if the early payment to the trustee is not required by the bond documents,
nothing in ABx1 26 prevents a redevelopment agency from making the payment to the
trustee early.
Additionally, the redevelopment agency and future successor can work with the county
auditor to determine how best to get the payments and make certain that the bond
payments will be seamless. ABx1 26 provides tools to help this occur. For example,
ABx1 26 requires that redevelopment agencies provide documents and information to
the future successor (S34169, subd. (e)) and requires that redevelopment agencies have
set aside and maintained reserves required by section S34169, subd. (c). Finally, ABx1
26 explicitly requires that the successor to make bond payments. The Department of
Finance has no reason to believe that any successor will fail in this task.
The Department of Finance believes that ABx1 26 requires successor agencies to
perform all obligations with respect to debt including any special accounting, reserving,
or payment priorities. The Department of Finance believes that AB x1 26 does not
prevent compliance and it is the Department's expectation that successor agencies,
oversight boards, and county auditors will take appropriate actions to comply with
obligations as they have in the past.
Q. What about bonds with uneven payment schedules where one semi-annual payment
is much larger than the other?
ABx1 26 requires successor agencies to perform all obligations with respect to
enforceable debt obligations. The Department of Finance believes this includes
requirements for any special accounting, reserving, or annual set-aside payment
priorities. With respect to uneven payment schedules, ABx1 26 clearly allows successor
agencies to create reserves for future bond payments that may be needed, and so that
bond covenants can be met as required by ABx1 26. Further, many bond indentures
require set-asides at the beginning of a fiscal year an amount to cover payments for the
entire year, if not more. In order to comply with the bond covenants, this type of annual
set-aside should be included on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule, thereby
ensuring that enough revenues will be available when each semi-annual payment comes
due. It is the Department's expectation that any needed reserves or required annual set-
asides will be included in Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules.
Q. Does ABx1 26 require bond funds to be coming led or pooled?
No.
The Department of Finance believes that ABx1 26 requires successor agencies to
perform all obligations with respect to debt including any special accounting, reserving,
or payment priorities. The Department believes that AB x1 26 places an affirmative duty
to perform obligations required pursuant to bond covenants and agreements.
Additionally, county auditor-controllers also have an affirmative duty to administer the
Trust Fund for the benefit of RDA bond holders. Thus, it is the Department's
expectation that successor agencies, oversight boards, and county auditors will take
appropriate actions to comply with obligations as they have in the past.
Q. Does ABx1 26 eliminate revenue pledges?
No.
ABx1 26 specifically states that revenue pledges are to be honored. In order to maintain
the pledges,it may be necessary to continue to segregate the revenues received
attributable to each project area as has been done in the past. It is recommended that
the county auditor-controller and the successor agency coordinate efforts to create
subaccounts in order to comply with bond covenants applicable to each project area.
Maintaining subaccounts (in the similar fashion as done under the prior law) will
facilitate a. sljCC8ssoragencY'$ability to set aside the required specific revenues for each
bond and make payments from those specific revenues first, if and as required by the
bond obligations.
It is further the Department's expectation that certain credits may be strengthened in
comparison to what they would be under prior law in that they will have access to more
of the tax increment for servicing of debt. Specifically, the 20-percent housing set-aside
is no longer made and only those funds necessary to service housing bond debt and
other enforceable housing obligations will be designated for housing purposes. The
remainder will be available for debt service on other bonds.
Q. Does ABx1 26 eliminate the ability of counties to do cash-flow loans if needed?
No. Department of Finance believes county treasurers have authority under both
existing law and ABx1 26 to make cash flow loans to successor agencies. If there is
insufficient cash to make payments, we urge county treasurers to make such loans from
the funds held for each successor agency. These loans could be recovered by future
distributions, if necessary.
We call attention to the following specific provisions in ABx1 26 (Health and Safety Code
Sections):
Sec.34169 Until successor agencies are authorized...redevelopment agencies shall do
all of the following:
(c). Set aside or maintain reserves in the amount required by indentures, trust
indentures, or similar documents governing the issuance of outstanding redevelopment
agency bonds.
(e) Cooperate with successors agencies, and provide all documents necessary or
desirable for ... making of payments required by enforceable obligations, and
performance of enforceable obligations by successor agencies.
(f) Take all reasonable measures to avoid triggering an event of default under any
enforceable obligations as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 34167.
Sec. 34171 (d) (1) "Enforceable obligation" means any ofthe following: (A) Bonds, as
defined by Section 33602 and bonds issued pursuant to Section 58383 of the
Government Code, including the required debt service, reserve set-asides, and any
other payments required under the indenture or similar documents governing the
issuance of the outstanding bonds of the former redevelopmentagency.
35167 (h) After the enforceable obligation payment schedule is adopted pursuant
to Section 34169, or after 60 days from the effective date of this part, whichever is
sooner, the [redevelopment] agency shall not make a payment unless it is listed in an
adopted enforceable obligation payment schedule, other than payments required to
me.t obligations with respect to bonded indebtedness.
34177. Successor agencies are required to do all of the following: (a) Continue to make
payments due for enforceable obligations. (1) On and after October 1, 2011, and until a
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule becomes operative, only payments required
pursuant to an enforceable obligations payment schedule shall be made.
Under the Court's order, while the due date for adopting a Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule is extended to May 1, 2012, the successor agency can adopt
and have an operational Schedule by February 4, if the Oversight Board is
appointed and adopts a Schedule on February 1 , and if Finance does not object.
This would require notice of the meeting to occur in January. We recognize this
is very difficult timing but some agencies have already adopted draft Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedules and this may be possible for many agencies.
34173. (a) Successor agencies, as defined in this part, are hereby designated as
successor entities to the former redevelopment agencies. (b) Except for those provisions
of the Community Redevelopment Law that are repealed, restricted, or revised pursuant
to the act adding this part, all authority, rights, powers, duties, and obligations previously
vested with the former redevelopment agencies, under the Community Redevelopment
Law, are hereby vested in the successor agencies.
34174(a) ......... nothing herein is intended to absolve the successor agency of payment
or other obligations due or imposed pursuant to the enforceable obligations; and
provided further, that nothing in the act adding this part is fntended to be construed as an
action or circumstance that may give rise to an event of default under any of the
documents governing enforceable obligations.
34175. (a) It is the intent of this part that pledges of revenues associated with
enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agencies are to be honored. It is
intended that the cessation of any redevelopment agency shall not affect either the
pledge, the legal existence of that pledge, or the stream of revenues available to meet
the requirements of the pledge.
34177. Successor agencies are required to do all of the following : (b) Maintain reserves
in the amount required by indentures, trust indentures, or similar documents governing
the issuance of outstanding redevelopment agency bonds. (c) Perform obligations
required pursuant to any enforceable obligation.
The Department views this language and 34173 (a) and 34175 (a) above as
including any responsibilities with respect to bond obligations, including
segregation of funds or separate priority of payments. This also would include
requirements with respect to tax exempt status or other federal bond laws.
Section 34183 (c) The county treasurer may loan any funds from the county treasury
that are necessary to ensure prompt payments of redevelopment agency
debts.

RE:
DATE:
Barring any action to the contrary in the next two days by the Legislature, Wednesday,
February 1, is the effective date under ABxl 26 for the dissolution of Redevelopment
Agencies and first day of the so-called "successor agencies."
While inaction by the Legislature and the Governor to address the many concerns and
issues raised with ABxl 26 and to extend the February 1 date is a major disappointment,
we want to thank you for your support this past year in our work to preserve a tool that
has been so valuable to improving our cities, revitalizing neighborhoods, creating jobs and
building affordable housing.
We have worked in partnership with the California Redevelopment Association (CRA) and
a coalition of more than 150 labor, pUblic safety, business, and other groups (see list at
http://www.savecajobs.com/whoweare.php) to pass SB 659 (Padilla) to extend the
deadline for agency dissolution to April 15. Along the way we received independent
validation from the three national bond rating agencies and Stewart Title Insurance Co. that
urgent action was needed to avoid possible bOlid defaults and title problems. Despite the
dear warnings,and our coalition's extensive efforts, the Legislative Leaders appear to have
chosen inaction, and the poorly drafted provisions of ABxl 26 will be a reality. ;
This will be a difficult and uncertain time for all of us, but we want to let you know what the
League will now be engaged in and how you can be involved. In fact, your involvement in
the next few months is more important than ever.
1. FixABxl.26
We know ABxl 26 is broken, and we need to quickly get the Legislature and Governor to fix
it. Last Friday we sent the attached letter to Governor Brown, explaining the serious defects
in ABxl 26 that require immediate legislative action in partnership with the Legislature,
the eRA and other parties.
2. Design, the Next Generation of Redevelopment Tools
We also need to begin developing ideas about enhancing or expanding tools communities
can use to address their community revitalization and redevelopment need~ including
ideas to offer to state officials for what we think should be the next generation of urban
2
redevelopment. rhis is where we will need your ideas and involvement. We understand
there may be hesitation about engaging state officials in this discussion after the
dissolution of redevelopment agencies, but we need to be at the table. Such engagement
also may be helpful in securing the necessary technical corrections to ABxl 26.
As part of this policy development process, we will be consulting League policy committees,
divisions, departments and. caucuses for ideas about new approaches for financing urban
redevelopment. Please feel free to contact Dan Carrigg, Legislative Director, or us with your
thoughts and suggestions. We urge you to use your upcoming League meetings to discuss
possible approaches and to invite League board members and staff to parpdpate in those
discussions. We have started developing some options we can discuss with the League
membership in the near future, butas agrassroots organization we are keenly interested in
getting your ideas before we get very far along in this process.
At the moment it is impossible to determine whether there will be a serious discussion of
"next generation" options for redevelopment by the Legislature this session. Given that it is
an el~ction year and the state is still in a budget crisis, almost anything could happen. We
know it is critical to begin the dialogue, however.
We want to thank you again for your support and involvement in our redevelopment
advocacy over the last year. We have fought on every front and shoulder-to-shoulder with
theCRA. We know it has peen a difficult and trying journey for everyone. It is also fair to
say, Ilowever, thatit is far from over. MajOr amendments ~r~ needed to state law and $ome
creative thought.given to where we (as both a state and cities) want to head to support
redevelopment of urban California. In other words, the last chapter in this saga is far from
written.
FinaHy,we want to express appreciation to Senator Alex Padilla, the au~or of ~B 659; for
his tireless efforts to help usadclr~$s ,the lingeringandseriousprobh~ms withAB:x:l,Z6.
Senator Padilla, a past president of the League board of directors, was a strong opponent of
th~redevelopment,legislative paclalge last Year,~ndhecontinued his advoqlcytbis.Year in
an evenmoreprominentway..
We. look forward to hearing your ideas and feedback about what is next. We are in this
together, and the state will hopefully, begin to realize that it cannot hope to thrive without
strong cities. Many cities in California actually predate statehood, and strong cities, as you
well know, are constantly engaged in redevelopment-,physically, demographically,
environmentally and economically.
Thank you again for your involvement and support.

Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: Urgent Need to Correct Serious Defects inABx126
Dear Governor Brown:
As cities and redevelopment agencies have worked in recent weeks to interpret and
implement the directives of the Supreme Court and ABx1 26, the League and the California
Redevelopment Association (eRA) have advised the Legislature and the Department of
Finance of many serious defects in the legislation that could. undermine its intent, cause the
waste of taxpayer funds and further erode faith in state and local government. For this
reason we have urged support for the short delay in implementation contained in SB 659
(Padilla) to minimize irreversible mistakes in implementing the law.
Now that many cities are on the verge of having to implement this flawed legislation, we
are writing to urge you to work with the legislature, the eRA and us in developing
corrective legislation that addresses the many defectsinABxl 26-defects that may be so
serious that they could impede the ability of local agencies to effectively manage public
funds during the dissolution process. If this happens, the taxpayers of California could pay a
serious price. The critical problems we have identified. generally fall into the following
categories:
. Possible Bond-Defaults. Despite the stated intent of the dis$olutionlegislation, the
three national bond rating agencies have alerted .us that conflicts and ambigvities in
the law present the very real prospect of successor agencies not having the cash to
make timely bond payments and other potential bond defaults that would deprive
the owners of these California municipal bonds of their rights and open the state
and local agencies to significant litigation costs and higher interest costs in the
future.
. Loss of Taxpayer funds. We have documented dozens of problems with ABxl 26
that should be corrected before implementation or it could result in the loss of
valuable taxpayer funds~ One example is that the legislation appears to
require successor agencies to "defeasen bonds issued for construction projects that
have already been designed because the construction contracts have not been
2
finalized and are not "enforceable obligations" under the statute. In such cases
federal law and most bond covenants require the successor agencies to do this by
setting-aside bond proceeds in low-interest bearing escrow accounts while paying
bondholders much higher interest rates. Taxpayers will shoulder the very
significant cost of this financial loss and lose the benefits of the project
. Possible Violations of Federal Law. The legislation appears to require that local
successor agencies violate federal tax law on how bond proceeds can be used or to
breach contracts with federal agencies that helped finance certain projects that
require prior approval of transfers of real estate. As you now, state law sirnply may
not conflict with federal law. These conflicts can be resolved or prevented without
litigation ifthere is time to amend the law or alert federal agencies.
· Stranded Public Infrastructure Projects. The current law appears to prevent the
completion of many infrastructure projects, including ones for which federal funds
have been committed, bonds have been issued and engineering design has been
completed but for which no construction contracts have been let In other cases,
design work currently under contract will have to be completed and paid for on
projects that will never be built under the law. These projects, the jobs they Would
have created, and the revenue they would have provided to the state and local
governments will be tragically' lost. In other cases, environmentally contaminated
lands may never be cleaned up .and r~used because the law eliminates the funding
source for the clean-up. In the meantime, successor agencies will be liable for these.
properties.
· LOss olCnticalStaff tolmplementUiw. Lack of clarity .and in sornecases
unreasonable lirnitson adminiStrative costs ill the law combined with unreasonable
time liiles forplanningrneanrrtany talented staff who' are needed for irnplernenting
the law and supporting the work of the Oversight Boards will have to be let go.
We l1ave appreciated our recent disc\JssiQns withtl1e Department of Finance in which we
(the League and eRA) have laid out all of these problems in detail along with our proposed
solutions (see attached list). We strongly recommend that you urge the Legislature to
immediately enact these key amendments to ABxl 26. We pledge to work collaboratively
with all parties to fashion the needed amendments in order to prevent harm to the public
interest. .

I. Bonds and other Enforceable Obligations
1. G.;wtn JI@~.feCl\,ir.dpaYlJ)e"~, Section 34177(a)(3) states that
commencing on May 1, 2012 (as reformed by the Court), only those payments listed
in the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule may be made by the successor
agencyfrom the funds specified in the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule.
However, Section 34177(1) states that the ROPS will not be effective until after
approved by the Oversight Board which is not required to be constituted until May.
PrQblem: There will likely be a time period (from May 1 until the ROPS is approved
by the Oversight Board) in which payments may become due and the successor
agency will not be authorized to make'the payments.
SQlytiQp.: Amend AB 26 to allow successor agency to continue making payments
after May 1 based upon EOPS until ROPStakes effect.
2. 1~\l(Qge"Jwp<ls tqmake~llJi-~q.~'~41~'A~ AB 26 directs the
county auditor-controller to make payments to successor agencies based upon the
ROPS. The ROPS is a forward-Iooldngschedulethatlists payments due inthe next
six-month period. After the auditor-controller distributes property tax to make
those payments, the remaining property tax is distributed to the taxing agencies.
Pq~blem: Most tax allocation bonds are structured with semi-annual interest
payments and annual principal payments. Typically, revenues collected within a
fiscal year are applied to bond payments in the lagging calendar year, with the
smaller interest payment due in the spring paid from December tax receipts and the
larger principal and interest payment due in the late summer or fall paid from
remaining December tax receipts~ April tax receipts. If county auditor-
controllers only forward to successor agencies the interest amount payable from
December receipts and distribute the balance to other entities, the agency may not .
have sufficient funds from the April receipts to cover the principal and interest
payment due later in the year.
Second, most d~bt security documents require that the full annual debt payments
due from a fiscal year's revenues are satisfied before excess revenues can be
released to other purposes - such as subordinate bonds. or subordinate pass thru
payments. This section effectively undermines the lien status of agency obligations
by releasing funds to subordinate claims on a semi-annual basis before senior
claims have been satisfied.
SQ)V\lPP.: Amend AB26 to aUQ.w successor agency to claim property taxes for the
full annual bond payment due so as to be able to make the second (larger) payment
as required by the bond covenants and to be able to satisfy most senior claims to the
funds.

redevelopment agencies and successor agencies to making those payments that are
listed on the EOPS with one important exception; Redevelopment agencies may not
make a payment unless it is listed on the EOPS "other than payments required to
meet obligations with respect to bonded indebtedness." This language ensured
compliance with all bond covenants.
Problem:. The language that ensures compliance with all bond covenants was not
included for successor agencies; [Compare Section 34167(h) with 34177(a)]
Solution: Amend AB 26 to allow successor agencies to make all payments required
"to meet obligations with respect to bonded indebtedness."

refunding can generate annual debt service savings due to lower interest rates even
though the principal balance increases to cover costs of issuance, debt service
reserves and/or insurance premiuIns.
Pt;9Q'~~: Section 34180(b) allows a successor agency to refund bonds with
oversight board approval but only ffnp ~ddltjoJJal debt is created. Therefore the
statute does not allow something that would actually generate additional tax
revenue for the taxing entities by lowering the~osts of the bonds.
~QlutiQn: Amend AB 26 to allow refunding of bonds to generate annual debt service
savings due to lower interest rates even if additional debt is created.... as long as
total increment required to repay debt is not increased.

proceeds unspent
ProQI~JI1: AB 26 does not provide deal' direction about what can be done with these
unspent proceeds without jeopardizing tax status of the bonds or violating bond
covenants.

January 27,2012
Proplem: Bond covenants require compliance with federal tax law. There's no
provision in AB 26 to require taxing entities that receive proceeds to assume
responsibility and liability for fulfilling these covenants.
SQIlJ.tiqJ): Amend AB 26 to prevent use of proceeds ofhond-funded assets that
would violate federal tax law. This may require allowing successor agency to retain
asset or proceeds and use in accordance with federal tax law.
7. IQJpli~d pqol~.1 qf di$ljnct ~egJgty'9l8.r.~es. Section 34170.5(b) directs each
county auditor-controller to "create within the county treasury a Redevelopment

redevelopment agency. Many agencies have separately leveraged tax increment
from distinct project areas and/or for the housing set-aside of one or more project
areas. Rachof these securities may have distinct cr~ditcharacteristics, bonded debt
leverage, pass through payment obligations and credit ratings.
P(9bl~m: AB26 does not include any direction to the auditor-controller to account
for distinct credit characteristics, bond debt leverage_ pass through payment
obligations and credit rat.ings. To the extent these funds are commingled, the
credits securing outstanding bonds could be materially changed. Investors' ability
to appropriately track and value their investments could be impaired.
Sp1uti9n: Amend AB 26 to direct the auditor-controller to establish an accounting
system that allows for the payment of agency debt in accordance with its unique
characteristics; amend AB 26 to guide the auditor-controller in how to investigate
the unique characteristics of agency debt

II. Employment/Administration
1. A(jmiuj~trfltiv~ Co~ ~lIowante: Section 34171(b) limits the administrative
cost allowance to 5% of the property tax allocated to the successor agency for the
2011-12 fiscal year and 3% of property taxes allocated to the Redevelopment
Obligation Retirement Fund in subsequent years.
Problem: The statute can't be implemented because of delay in implementation of
AB 26. The successor agency did not receive property tax for the full 2011-12 fiscal
year because of the delay in implementation of AB 26.
Solution: Amend the statute to calculate 5% based upon full 2011-12 fiscal year tax
increment [tax increment allocated to redevelopment agency in first part of 2011-12
fiscal year; and successor agency in second part of 2011-12 fiscal year].
2.~!~f(jnK: 'The administrative, cost allowance is too small to cover the costs of
staff who are necessary to continue to perform the obligations required by
enforceable obligations and otherwise Wind down agency affairs. DOFdaims that
these staff costs can be includedas "enforceable obligations" on the EOPS.
P(Obl~IJl: AB 26 does not directly address whether staff costs of the successor
agenCy to wind down the affairs of the redevelopment agency can be included as
enforceable obligations. Because layoff notices must be sent in accordance with
MOUs, etc. and because these staff costs are high, successor agencies cannot take the
riskoffollowing DOF's direction andtheJ1 finding out the direction is flawed. .
S9lutiQn: Amend the statute to clearly state that reasonable staff costs of
performing obligations required by enfol'ceable obligations and disposing of assets
and properties are "enforceableobligationsHfol' purposes of EOPS.

exceptions, AB 26 invalidates all agreements that require a redevelopment agency
to repay the city or county that created it.
PrQt>I~m: These agreements take many forms. Some actually save the taxing
entities money. Some were specifically authorized by the Legislature. (1) An
example of the former: City loans money to agency to reconstruct streets and
underground utilities. Property tax increment is used to repay loan. Issuing bonds
for this project would have been much more expensive - requiring more tax
increment - because of payment of bond counsel, underwriting fees, and continuing
disclosure and maintenance of coverage factors and reserves; Cities will be
punished for financing redevelopment activity in the most efficient way. (2) An
example of the latter: The Legislature allowed a city to loan money to its
redevelopment agency to make the SERAF payments. AB 26 nullifies this agreement
that the Legislature specifically allowed.
~9Iytion: Amend the statute to include agreements that the Legislature and
Governor agree should be honored.
3.t~~.aalio~of>>~~-~~ a~~~Qt$. Obligations of redevelopment
agencies become the obligations of successor agencies.
PrQ.bl~m: Many pass-through agreements contain provisions that terminate the
agreement if the agency ceases to exist, no longer receives tax increment or if there
is an alteration in the tax increment allocation system. If these agreements
terminate, taxing entities will receive less. Sometimes this money is pledged.
Sometimes these agreements contain non-monetary obligations.
Solution: Amend statute to address problem.
4. TmNlwofprqeft.Y. AB 26 transfers property from the redevelopment
agency to the successor agency by operation of law.
PrQble.oo: The transfer of property by operationoflaw will create title problems for
the subsequent transfer of property from the successor agency to a third party as
there has been a break.in the chain of recorded title. This will create problems for
title insurers and county recorders. Many title companies have already instituted a
moratorium on writing title insurance for redevelopment transactions.

redevelopment agencies no longer have authority to acquire real property. (Also see
Section 34189(a)).
Probl~m: Redevelopment agencies commenced eminent domain proceedings prior
to AB 26 but cannot complete the proceedings. Successor agencies can't complete
the proceedings either. This means abandoning eminent domain actions which
means paying the property owner's attorneys fees, abandonment of public projects
and waste of public funds.
SolutiQn: Amend ABx126 to allow a successor agency to complete an eminent
domain proceeding which has been initiated by the former redevelopment agency.
IV. Oversight Board
1. Le&;ll St..tus. AB 26 creates an oversight board for each succeSsor agency.
Prqplem: AB 26 is silent regarding (1) legal status as a public entity; (2) authority to
enter into contracts; (3) authority to sue and be sued; (4) authority to retain legal

Gabriel A. Gonzalez, City Manager
Linda T. Babonis, Economic Development Manager
Mayor's Appointments to Successor Agency Oversight Board
BA<:;J{GROUND: On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court issued its decision in
the California Redevelopment Association v. Matosantos case. The Supreme Court found that
ABX1 26, the redevelopment agency Dissolution Act, was constitutional, and that AB Xl 27, the
Alternative Redevelopment Program Act, was unconstitutional. The Court further found that the
two pieces of legislation were severable. Therefore, as of February 1st all redevelopment
agencies were dissolved under AB Xl 26 and none will have the opportunity to opt into
continued existence under AB Xl 27.
Consistent with AB Xl 26,
. On August 23,2011, the City Council adopted an Enforceable Obligation Payment
Schedule ("EOPS")
. On October 11,2011, the City Council adopted an amended EOPS.
. On January 10, 2012, the City Council adopted a resolution electing to become the
successor agency for Rohnert Park's Community Development Commission (CDC).
. On January 10,2012, the City Council elected to retain the housing assets and functions
of the CDC.
. On January 24,2012, the City Council adopted a second amended EOPS.
One ofthe requirements of AB Xl 26 (Health and Safety Code Section 34179(a)) is the
formation of an Oversight Board consisting of seven members; two of which are to be appointed
by the mayor for the city that formed the redevelopment agency.
In order to meet the deadlines for certain actions of the Oversight Board required by AB Xl 26,
such as the Oversight Board's approval ofthe initial Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
by April 15, 2012, and notification of the Oversight Board's chair and members to the State
Department of Finance by May 1,2012, Mayor Mackenzie must appoint his members to the
Oversight Board as soon as possible.
1
The two members shall be selected as follows;
1) One member appointed by the mayor for the city that formed the redevelopment agency.
2) One member representing the employees of the former redevelopment agency appointed by
the mayor or chair of the board of supervisors, as the case may be, from the recognized employee
organization representing the largest number of former redevelopment agency employees
employed by the successor agency at the time.
OVERSIGHT BOARD FA9s:
· Oversight Boards have fiduciary responsibilities to holders of enforceable obligations and
the taxing entities that benefit from distributions of property tax and other revenues
· Oversight Board members serve without compensation or reimbursement for expenses
· Oversight Board members have personal immunity from suit for their actions taken
within the scope of their responsibilities as Oversight board members
· Successor Agencies pay for all of the costs of meetings of the Oversight Board and may
include those costs in its administrative budget
· The Oversight Board shall be deemed to be a local entity for purposes of the Ralph M.
Brown Act, the California Public Records Act, and the Political Reform Act of 1974.
· A majority vote of the total membership of the Oversight Board is required for the
Oversight Board to take action.
· Each member of the Oversight Board serves at the pleasure of the entity that appointed
such member
· Any individual may simultaneously be appointed to as many as five Oversight Boards
and may hold an office in a city, county, city and county, special district, school district,
or community college district
· The Department of Finance (DOF) may review all Oversight Board actions
OVE~SIG,I;IT BQf\~nE~ISJO~ MAKJ:NGAVTHORJTY:
All of the following successor agency actions shall first be approved by the Oversight Board;
· The establishment of new payment terms for outstanding loans where the terms have not
been specified prior to enactment of AB Xl 26
· Refunding of outstanding bonds or other debt of the former redevelopment agency
· Setting aside amounts in reserves .as required by indentures, trust indentures or similar
documents
. Merging project areas
· Continuing the acceptance of federal grants or other forms of financial assistance
· Entering into compensation agreement(s) with other taxing entities to provide payments
to them for the retention of any properties or other assets for future redevelopment
· Establishment of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
2
. A request to enter into an agreement with the city, county, or city and county that formed
the redevelopment agency that it is succeeding
. A request by a successor agency or taxing entity to pledge, or to enter into an agreement
for the pledge of, property tax revenues
OVERSIGHT BOARD SPAN OF CONTROL:
Oversight Boards direct successor agencies to. ..
. Dispose of all assets and properties of the former redevelopment agency that were funded
by tax increment revenues
e Cease performance in connection with and terminate all existing agreements that do not
qualify as enforceable obligations
. Transfer housing responsibilities and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations along with
any amounts on deposit in Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund to appropriate entity
e Terminate any agreement, between the dissolved redevelopment agency and any public
entity located in the same county in any instance where the Oversight Board has found
that early termination would be in the best interests of the taxing entities
ANALYSIS:
The first Mayoral appointment under Section 34179 (2) of the Health and Safety Code
says, "One member appointed by the mayor for the city that formed the redevelopment
agency."
>> It is staffs opinion that this could be anyone including another City Council
member, the City Manager, city staff or a member of the public.
B. The second Mayoral appointment under Section 34179 (2) of the Health and Safety Code
says, "One member representing the employees of the former redevelopment agency
appointed by the mayor or chair of the board of supervisors, as the case may be, from the
recognized employee organization representing the largest number of former
redevelopment agency employees employed by the successor agency at the time."
>> There is a single staff position allocated, but it is vacant. The vacant position is
represented by the Rohnert Park Employee's Association. However, the
redevelopment activities have been carried out by an unrepresented management
employee whose primary responsibility is economic development.
Given that the seat for an employee organization is to represent the interest of
affected employees, it seems reasonable that the manager actually performing the
work, who is the only affected employee, should serve on the board.
OPTIONS CqNSIDERED:
The City of Rohnert Park must comply with the provisions of AB Xl 26 as it applies to
appointments to the Successor Agency Oversight Board.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
Members of the Oversight Board serve without compensation or reimbursement for expenses.

Code, and to add Sections 97.401 and 98.2 to the Revenue and Taxation
Code, relating to redevelopment, and making an appropriation therefor, to
take effect immediately, bill related to the budget.
[Approved by Governor June 28, 2011. Filed with
Secretary of State June 29, 2011.]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
All 26, Blumenfield. Community redevelopment.
(1) The Community Redevelopment Law authorizes the establishment
of redevelopment agencies in communities to address the effects of blight,
as defined. Existing law provides that an action may be brought to review
the validity of the adoption or amendment of a redevelopment plan by an
agency, to review the validity of agency findings or determinations, and
other agency actions.
This bill would revise the provisions of law authorizing an action to be
brought against the agency to determine or review the validity of specified
agency actions.
(2) Existing law also requires that if an agency ceases to function, any
surplus funds existing after payment of all obligations and indebtedness
vest in the community.
The bill would suspend various agency activities and prohibit agencies
from h:!\;urting indebtedness commencing on the effective date of this act.
Effective October 1,2011, the bill would dissolve all redevelopment agencies
and community development agencies in existence and designate successor
agencies, as defined, as successor entities. The bill would impose various
requirements on the successor agencies and subject successor agency actions
to the review of oversight boards, which the bill would establish.
The bill would require county auditor-controllers to conduct an
agreed-upon procedures audit of e.ach fonner redevelopment agency by
March 1, 2012. The bill would require the county auditor-controller to
detennine the amount of property taxes that would have been allocated to
each redevelopment agency if the agencies had not been dissolved and
deposit this amount in a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund in the
county. Revenues in the trust fund would be allocated to various taxing
entities in the county and to cover specified expenses of the fonner agency.
By imposing additional duties upon local public officials, the bill would
create a state-mandated local program.

(3) The bill would prohibit a redevelopment agency from issuing new
bonds, notes, interim certificates, debentures, or other obligations if any
legal challenge to invalidate a provision of this act is successful.
(4) The bill would appropriate $500,000 to the Department of Finance
from the General Fund for administrative costs associated with the bilI.
(5) The biII would provide that its provisions take effect only if specified
legislation is enacted in the 2011-12 First Extraordinary Session of the
Legislature.
(6) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory
provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for
a specified reason.
(7) The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a
fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for that
purpose. Governor Schwarzenegger issued a proclamation declaring a fiscal
emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on December 6,
20 I O. Governor Brown issued a proclamation on January 20, 20 I I, declaring
and reaffirming that a fiscal emergency exists and stating that his
proclamation supersedes the earlier proclamation for purposes of that
constitutional provision.
This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared and
reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation issued on January 20, 201 I,
pursuant to the California Constitution.
(8) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a biII
providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
Appropriation: yes.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION I. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The economy and the residents of this state are slowly recovering
from the worst recession since the Great Depression.
(b) State and local governments are still facing incredibly significant
declines in revenues and increased need for core govemmentalservices.
(c) Local governments across this state continue to confront difficult
choi~es and have had to reduce fire and police protection among other
servIces.
(d) Schools have faced reductions in funding that have caused school
districts to increase class size and layoff teachers, as well as make other
hurtful cuts.
(e) Redevelopment agencies have expanded over the years in this state.
The expansion of redevelopment agencies has increasingly shifted property
taxes away from services provided to schools, counties, special districts,
and cities.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 654, as amended, Steinberg. Redevelopment.
Existing law suspends various activities of redevelopment agencies
and prohibits the agencies from incurring indebtedness for a
specified period. Existing law also dissolves redevelopment agencies
and community development agencies, as of October 1, 2011, and
designates successor agencies, as defined. Existing law requires
successor agencies to wind down the affairs of the dissolved
redevelopment agencies and to, among other things, repay enforceable
obligations, as defined, and to remit unencumbered balances of
redevelopment agency funds, including housing funds, to the county
auditor-controller for distribution to taxing entities.
Existing law authorizes the city, county, or city and county that
authorized the creation of a redevelopment agency to retain the
housing assets, functions, and powers previously performed by the
redevelopment agency, excluding amounts on deposit in the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund.
This bill would revise the definition of the term "enforceable
obligation" and modify provisions relating to the transfer of housing
funds and responsibilities associated with dissolved redevelopment
agencies. The bill would provide that any amounts on deposit in the
Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund of a dissolved redevelopment
agency be transferred to specified entities. The bill would make
conforming changes.
Existing law provides that upon a specified date, agreements,
contracts, or arrangements between the city or county, or city and
county that created the redevelopment agency and the redevelopment
agency are invalid. Notwithstanding this provision, an agreement that
provided loans or other startup funds for the agency that was
entered into within 2 years of the formation of the agency is valid
and binds the successor agency.
The bill would expand this exception to include an agreement
involving a loan specific to a project area and other specified
obligations.

INTRODUCED
INTRODUCED BY
Senator Dutton
JANUARY 31, 2012
An act to amend Sections 34177 and 34180 of the Health and Safety
Code, relating to redevelopment, and declaring the urgency thereof,
to take effect immediately.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 986, as introduced, Dutton. Redevelopment: bond proceeds.
Existing law dissolves redevelopment agencies and community
development agencies, as of February 1, 2012, and designates
successor agencies, as defined. Existing law requires that successor
entities perform certain duties, including, among others, remitting
unencumbered funds of that agency to the county auditor-controller,
and overseeing the use of bond proceeds. Existing law requires each
successor agency to have an oversight board that is composed of 7
members who meet certain qualifications. Existing law requires the
oversight board to approve certain actions of the successor agency.
This bill would provide that all bond proceeds that were generated
by the former redevelopment agency shall be deemed to be encumbered
and would prohibit a successor agency from remitting these proceeds
to the county auditor-controller. This bill would also require that
the proceeds of bonds issued by a former redevelopment agency must be
used by the successor agency for the purposes for which the bonds
v,ere sold pursuant to an enforceable obligation, as defined, that was
entered into either by the former redevelopment agency prior to its
dissolution, or is entered into by the successor agency by December
14, 2014. This bill would also provide that if an enforceable
obligation is not entered into by that time, or if the purpose for
which the bonds were sold can no longer be achieved, then the bond
proceeds shall be used to defease the bonds or to purchase
outstanding bonds on the open market for cancellation.
This bill would also require the oversight board to approve of the
establishment of an enforceable obligation with respect to bond
proceeds. This bill would prohibit the oversight board from
disapproving the establishment of an enforceable obligation with
respect to bond proceeds if that obligation is reasonably in
furtherance of the purposes for which the bonds were sold.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.

Obligation Payment Schedule becomes operative, only payments required
pursuant to an enforceable obligations payment schedule shall be
made. The initial enforceable obligation payment schedule shall be
the last schedule adopted by the redevelopment agency under Section
34169. However, payments associated with obligations excluded from
the definition of enforceable obligations by paragraph (2) of
subdivision (e) of Section 34171 shall be excluded from the
enforceable obligations payment schedule and be removed from the last
schedule adopted by the redevelopment agency under Section 34169
prior to the successor agency adopting it as its enforceable
obligations payment schedule pursuant to this subdivision. The
enforceable obligation payment schedule may be amended by the
successor agency at any public meeting and shall be subject to the
approval of the oversight board as soon as the board has sufficient
members to form a quorum.
(2) The Department of Finance and the Controller shall each have
the authority to require any documents associated with the
enforceable obligations to be provided to them in a manner of their
choosing. Any taxing entity, the department, and the Controller shall
each have standing to file a judicial action to prevent a violation
under this part and to obtain injunctive or other appropriate relief.
(3) Commencing on January 1, 2012, only those payments listed in
the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule may be made by the
successor agency from the funds specified in the Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule. In addition, commencing January 1, 2012,
the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall supersede the
Statement of Indebtedness, which shall no longer be prepared nor have
any effect under the Community Redevelopment Law.
(4) Nothing in the act adding this part is to be construed as
preventing a successor agency, with the prior approval of the
oversight board, as described in Section 34179, from making payments
for enforceable obligations from sources other than those listed in
the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule.
(5) From October 1, 2011, to July 1, 2012, a successor agency
shall have no authority and is hereby prohibited from accelerating
payment or making any lump-sum payments that are intended to prepay
loans unless such accelerated repayments were required prior to the
effective date of this part.
(b) Maintain reserves in the amount required by indentures, trust
indentures, or similar documents governing the issuance of
outstanding redevelopment agency bonds.
(c) Perform obligations required pursuant to any enforceable
obligation.
(d) Remit unencumbered balances of redevelopment agency funds to
the county auditor-controller for distribution to the taxing
entities, including, but not limited to, the unencumbered balance of
the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund of a former redevelopment
agency. In making the distribution, the county auditor-controller
shall utilize the same methodology for allocation and distribution of
property tax revenues provided in Section 34188. For
purposes of this subdivision, bond proceeds of the redevelopment
agency shall be deemed to be encumbered, and therefore the successor
agency shall not remit those funds to the county auditor-controller.
(e) Dispose of assets and properties of the former redevelopment
agency as directed by the oversight board; provided, however, that
the oversight board may instead direct the successor agency to
transfer ownership of certain assets pursuant to subdivision (a) of
Section 34181, The disposal is to be done expeditiously and in a

manner aimed at maximizing value. Proceeds from asset sales and
related funds that are no longer needed for approved development
projects or to otherwise wind down the affairs of the agency, each as
determined by the oversight board, shall be transferred to the
county auditor-controller for distribution as property tax proceeds
under Section 34188.
(f) Enforce all former redevelopment agency rights for the benefit
of the taxing entities, including, but not limited to, continuing to
collect loans, rents, and other revenues that were due to the
redevelopment agency.
(g) Effectuate transfer of housing functions and assets to the
appropriate entity designated pursuant to Section 34176.
(h) Expeditiously wind down the affairs of the redevelopment
agency pursuant to the provisions of this part and in accordance with
the direction of the oversight board.
(i) Continue to oversee development of properties until the
contracted work has been completed or the contractual obligations of
the former redevelopment agency can be transferred to other parties.

agency. Any amount of bond proceeds not subject to an enforceable

or to purchase outstanding bonds on the open market for cancellation.
If the purposes for which the bonds were sold by the dissolved
redevelopment agency can no longer be achieved, then the

Assembly Members John A. Perez, Atkins, Dickinson,
Perea, and Torres
FEBRUARY 2, 2012
An act to amend Sections 34171, 34176, 34177, 34179, 34180, 34181,
and 34183 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to redevelopment,
and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1585, as introduced, John A. Perez. Redevelopment.
Existing law dissolves redevelopment agencies and community
development agencies, as of February 1, 2012, and designates
successor agencies, as defined. Existing law requires successor
agencies to wind down the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment
agencies and to, among other things, repay enforceable obligations,
as defined, and to remit unencumbered balances of redevelopment
agency funds, including housing funds, to the county
auditor-controller for distribution to taxing entities.
Existing law authorizes the city, county, or city and county that
authorized the creation of a redevelopment agency to retain the
housing assets, functions, and powers previously performed by the
redevelopment agency, excluding amounts on deposit in the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund.
This bill would modify the scope of the term "enforceable
obligation" and modify provisions relating to the transfer of housing
funds and responsibilities associated with dissolved redevelopment
agencies. The bill would provide that any amounts on deposit in the
Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund of a dissolved redevelopment
agency be transferred to specified entities. The bill would make
conforming changes.
Existing law provides that, upon a specified date, agreements,
contracts, or arrangements between the city or county, or city and
county that created the redevelopment agency and the redevelopment
agency are invalid. Notwithstanding this provision, an agreement that
provided loans or other startup funds for the agency that was
entered into within 2 years of the formation of the agency is valid
and binds the successor agency.
The bill would expand this exception to include an agreement
involving a loan specific to a project area and other specified
obligations. The bill would provide that other loan agreements
entered into between the redevelopment agency and the city, county,
or city and county that created it are deemed to be enforceable
obligations, except as specified. The bill would further expand upon,
and clarify, the scope of the successor agency's and the oversight
board's responsibilities.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.

pursuant to an enforceable obligations payment schedule shall be
made. The initial enforceable obligation payment schedule shall be
th~ last schedule adopted by the redevelopment agency under Section
34169. However, payments associated with obligations excluded from
the definition of enforceable obligations by paragraph (2) of
subdivision (e) of Section 34171 shall be excluded from the
enforceable obligations payment schedule and be removed from the last
schedule adopted by the redevelopment agency under Section 34169

Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule may be made by the successor

Obligation Payment Schedule shall supersede the Statement of
Indebtedness, which shall no longer be prepared nor have any effect
under the Community Redevelopment Law.

preventing a successor agency, with the prior approval of the
oversight board, as described in Section 34179, from making payments
for enforceable obligations from sources other than those listed in
the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule.
(5) From February 1, 2012, to July 1, 2012, a successor agency
shall have no authority and is hereby prohibited from accelerating
payment or making any lump-sum payments that are intended to prepay
loans unless such accelerated repayments were required prior to the
effective date of this part.
(b) Maintain reserves in the amount required by indentures, trust
indentures, or similar documents governing the issuance of
outstanding redevelopment agency bonds.
(c) Perform obligations required pursuant to any enforceable
obligation.

CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: February 14,2012
Department: City Manager's Office
Submitted By: Gabriel Gonzalez, City Manager
Prepared By: Angie Smith, Purchasing Agent
Agenda Title: Purchasing Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Consideration of Introduction of an Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Chapter 3.04
"Purchasing Program," of Title 3, "Revenue and Finance," of the Rohnert Park Municipal
Code
BACKGROUND:
Currently City purchasing is conducted in accordance with Rohnert Park Municipal Code
Ordinance No. 754, Chapter 3.04, as adopted in March 2006. While this ordinance provides a
framework for the purchasing function, the City Manager determined that a set of specific
policies focused on cash management, tighter internal controls, and staff accountability would
facilitate achievement of long-term fiscal recovery goals.
A draft set of purchasing policies was presented to City Council at its meeting on January 24,
2012, followed by a power point presentation. Council gave direction to bring the policies back
for approval.
Before the new policies can be brought forward to City Council for approval, the current
Ordinance Chapter 3.04 "Purchasing Program" of Title 3 "Revenue and Finance," needs to be
repealed and replaced.
ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney drafted the new Ordinance, which allows for future changes in purchasing to
be done by way of resolution.
1
ITEM NO.7
FISCAL IMP ACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
While a goal of the new Purchasing Program is to facilitate reduction in the cost of purchases, a
dollar value cannot be assigned to that potential savings. No additional funding is required for
policy implementation.
FURTHER ACTION:
Staff is currently working to develop procedures that reflect the policy. All City staff responsible
for making purchases will undergo training on the new policy and procedures.
CONCLUSION:
Staff is requesting City Council:
Approve Introduction of Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Chapter 3.04 (Purchasing
Program), of Title 3 (Revenue and Finance), of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code

CHAPTER 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 CONTROLLING REGULATIONS
Controlling regulations for the Purchasing function are set forth in the City of Rohnert
Park Municipal Code, and California Government Codes Sections 54202 and 54203.
In the event of any conflict between the Purchasing Policies and the City of Rohnert
Park Municipal Code and/or any City Council Resolution, then the Municipal Code or
City Council Resolution shall take precedence.
1.1.1 Purchasing Policies shall be modified by means of periodic Resolution of
the City Council.
1.1.2 Nothing within the Purchasing Policies shall be construed as requiring a
department, purchaser, or contractor to procure products that do not
perform adequately for their intended use, exclude adequate competition,
or are not available at a reasonable price in a reasonable period of time.
Additionally, nothing within the Purchasing Policies shall be construed as
requiring the City, department, purchaser, or contractor to take any action
that conflicts with local, State, or federal requirements.
1.1.3 Purchasing Procedures may be developed and/or modified to facilitate
compliance with Purchasing Policies, subject to City Manager approval.
1.1.4 Purchases related to the conduct of Public Projects may be subject to
additional and/or different requirements, as described in these Policies.
1.2 ETHICS AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Purchasing Policies are developed under the authority of Chapter 3.04 Purchasing
Program of the City of Rohnert Park Municipal Code. The City Manager (or his/her
designee) serves as the Purchasing Agent, and is charged with the responsibility and
authority for coordinating and controlling the City's Purchasing function in accordance
with Purchasing Policies.
1.2.1 The Purchasing Agent and all departments shall adhere to the Purchasing
Policies when procuring materials, supplies, equipment, vehicles and
services. All purchases shall be limited to the approved budget or as
otherwise authorized by City Council. Purchasing dollar limits specified in the
Purchasing Policies are "per order" unless otherwise indicated.

1.2.2 Applicable competitive bidding categories, authorization limits or contract
award procedures will be based on unit cost, total purchase cost for
consolidated bid items, or fiscal year aggregates in the case of standing
purchase orders or similar ongoing purchasing arrangements. Staging of
purchases to avoid competitive bidding procedures or authorization limits is
prohibited.
1.2.3 All personnel engaged in the Purchasing function shall exercise good
judgment in the use and stewardship of City resources, and all Purchasing
functions shall be conducted with absolute integrity and objectivity.
Purchases are subject to public scrutiny; employees shall follow a strict rule
of personal conduct that will not compromise the City in the conduct of its
business. Any employee intentionally and/or repeatedly making purchases in
a manner that circumvents, ignores or fails to comply with Purchasing
policies will be subject to disciplinary action, in accordance with City
Personnel procedures.
1.3 PURCHASING AGENT RESPONSIBILITIES
The City Manager or his/her designee shall act as the City's Purchasing Agent. The
Purchasing Agent is responsible for procurement of materials, supplies, equipment,
vehicles and services; administration of purchasing policies and procedures; and
management of surplus City property. To perform these functions efficiently and
assist departments, the Purchasing Agent shall:
A. Coordinate and manage procurement of the City's materials, supplies,
equipment, vehicles and services from the lowest responsive and responsible
bidder when required by the Purchasing Policies.
B. Ensure full and open competition on all purchases as required by the
Purchasing Policies, and make purchase award recommendations to the
appropriate authority.
C. Identify, evaluate and utilize purchasing methods that best meet the needs of
the City (cooperative purchases, standing purchase orders, contractual

necessary, and keep informed of current developments in the field of Public

1.4DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Each Department is responsible for facilitating prudent, efficient and cost-effective
purchases. To meet these responsibilities, Departments shall:
A. Ensure staff is trained on the terminology and requirements set forth in the
Purchasing Policies and Purchasing Procedures.
B. Minimize urgent and sole source purchases, and provide written findings and
documentation when such purchases may be necessary.
C. Refrain from "splitting" orders or projects for the purpose of avoiding
procurement requirements or authorization limits.
D. Anticipate requirements sufficiently in advance to allow adequate time to
obtain goods in accordance with best purchasing practices.
E. Maximize coordination of purchases into a lesser number of large transactions
to take advantage of cost savings for bulk purchases of commonly used goods
and services.
CHAPTER 2. ENCUMBRANCE OF FUNDS
Except in emergency or urgent situations, the Purchasing Agent shall not issue any
Purchase Order nor shall any contract be approved for materials, supplies, equipment,
vehicles or services unless there exists an unencumbered appropriation in the department
budget account against which said purchase or contract is to be charged. Funds shall be
encumbered by means of Purchase Order for all purchases exceeding $250.
CHAPTER 3. PURCHASING METHODS
3.1 PETTY CASH
Departments may request petty cash for use in purchasing incidental and
immediately needed items, and for expenditures that would be impractical to
process through the Purchase Order system. Petty cash "banks" may be
established and maintained for this purpose as follows: the Department of Public
Safety may request and receive a $300 petty cash bank; other departments may
request and receive a $200 bank. Department staff may make incidental purchases
in amounts not to exceed $25 per order, and multiple petty cash slips shall not be
used to "split" orders so as to circumvent this limit. Petty cash slips shall be signed
by supervisory staff.

The Department's petty cash "bank" will be replenished based on submittal of
signed petty cash slips and receipts (to Finance) for expenditures made.
Department Directors shall be responsible for assuring compliance with this policy,
and for the security of petty cash in the Department. The Finance Department shall
perform an annual internal audit of each Department's petty cash "bank" in
compliance with the City's internal control policies.
3.2 CREDIT CARDS
Under certain circumstances, use of a City credit card may be the most
appropriate method for purchases. The following will ensure internal control and
timely payment of charges.
3.2.1 City credit cards will be distributed on an as-needed basis to staff at the
discretion of the Department Heads. Signature authority will be consistent
with that of Purchase Orders.
3.2.2 City credit cards shall be utilized for purchase of supplies and materials,
and shall not be used to contract for or purchase services, including
professional services.
3.2.3 Use of the City credit card for personal purchases, cash advances or to
purchase alcohol is prohibited.
3.2.4 Failure to comply with established procedures may result in discontinuance
of use of the credit card by the employee/department, and may subject the
employee to disciplinary action, in accordance with City Personnel
procedures.
3.3 PURCHASE AUTHORIZATIONS
Purchase Authorizations are to be used to purchase items from vendors with whom
the City has Standing Supply Purchase Order Agreements, in lieu of Purchase
Requisitions. Purchase Authorizations are approved under the same authorities
and dollar values as Purchase Orders, but cannot exceed $250.00.
3.4 PURCHASE REQUISITIONS
Departments shall submit requests for supplies and equipment to the Purchasing
Agent by standard Requisition Form, or by other means as may be established.

subsequent to their purchase, when the amount of the purchase exceeds
$250, and when the purchase was not made by means of Master Services
Agreement, Cooperative Agreement, or Standing Supply Purchase Order

3.6 CONTRACTS FOR GOODS AND SERVICES
3.6.1 City contracts shall be consistent with State and federal laws, and shall be
fully executed prior to the performance of any contract work. Each contract
shall be approved as to form by the City Attorney, unless such contract is
developed consistent with a template pre-approved as to form by the City
Attorney (in which case the individual contract need not receive separate
attorney approval).
3.6.2 Contract signature authority shall be aligned with that for Purchase Orders,
as designated in the Rohnert Park Municipal Code, Section 3.04, and is per
contract. The City Manager or designee may execute any contract for which
authorization has been granted pursuant to Ordinance, Resolution, or other
action of the City Council, providing sufficient unencumbered funds exist.
Contracts or Agreements related to transfer of title to real property must be
signed by the Mayor or designee. Any contract made, or purported to be
made, by the City in violation of this section shall be void 'and of no force or
effect.
3.6.3 The term or life of an Agreement shall be set, including, e.g., dates for
required performance, with dates for phase completion if applicable, as well
as for overall project completion. An Agreement may be made for a project
in which completion of required work extends beyond one year; such an
Agreement is not considered a multi-year agreement in the context of this
Policy.
3.6.4 Multi-year agreements are encouraged for ongoing general services and
consultant/professional services with a defined scope of work such as, but
not limited to, janitorial and landscape maintenance, attorneys and
accountants, and printing. The annual value of multi-year contracts and
single year contracts with options to renew shall be considered in obtaining
the appropriate signature authority. Any renewal periods for such contracts
shall require a contract amendment, including proper signatures, executed
prior to performance of the additional work or provision of the additional
goods.
3.6.5 The City Manager or designee may approve alternative selection, evaluation
and award procedures for a specific contract or class of contracts, except
Public Project contracts, if available information demonstrates that a

substantial cost savings, enhancement in quality or performance, or other
public benefit will result from use of the alternative contracting method. The
alternative contracting method shall meet the purpose and goals of the
Purchasing Policies and shall substantially promote the public interest in a
manner that could not be achieved by complying with the competitive
procurement methods otherwise available under the Purchasing Policies.
3.6.6 Types of Contracts
A. Standing Supply Purchase Order Agreements - Department Heads,
or designees, may negotiate Standing Supply Purchase Order
Agreements with vendors for purchase of repetitive-use items common
to one or several departments. The Purchasing Agent will coordinate
Standing Supply Purchase Order Agreements and process transactions
by means of Purchase Order or Purchase Authorization; signature
authority and dollar values apply accordingly. Adequate funds must be
encumbered to complete the purchase prior to its initiation.
B. Master Service Agreements - Department Heads may establish
Master Service Agreements with specific vendors to provide services
over time. A Purchase Order (or Task Order), including a written outline
of the scope of work and payment terms, is required for purchases
made through Master Service Agreements; a new contract for each
purchase is unnecessary. Purchase Order dollar limits and signature
authority are applicable, and requirements such as insurance and
indemnification may vary depending on the type of service required.
Funds shall be encumbered in an adequate amount to complete the
task or order; unused funds will be unencumbered following completion
of the purchase.
C. Cooperative Purchase Agreements - The Purchasing Agent has the
authority to: join with other public jurisdictions in Cooperative
Purchasing Agreements; buy directly from a vendor at a price
established by competitive bidding by another public jurisdiction in
substantial compliance with this document, even if the City has not
joined with that public agency in a formal agreement; and, purchase
from the United States of America, any state, municipality or other
public corporation, or agency, without following formal purchasing
procedures as defined in the Purchasing Policy. A Purchase Order is
required for purchases made through Cooperative Purchase
Agreements, subject to approvals and dollar limitations accordingly.

D. Consultant And Professional Services Agreements - The City
Manager or designee shall prescribe the procedures governing the
solicitation and selection of proposals, and award of consultant service
Agreements, including professional services. Contracts may be
awarded through a competitive or negotiated process based on
solicitation of at least three quotations or proposals (which may be
waived at the discretion of the City Manager based on State law, and
for sole source, urgent and emergency purchases as defined in the
Purchasing Policies). Such procedures shall have the express purpose
of obtaining contractual services of the highest quality together with the
most cost-effective pricing. Proposals and/or Qualifications solicited for
Professional Services shall be evaluated based on criteria other than
pricing, as defined in the solicitations (such as demonstrated
competence and professional qualifications), and the City may then
negotiate with the most responsive and responsible vendor.
E. Contracts For Non-public Projects, Goods and General Services -
Contracts may be established for non-public projects and purchases of
goods and general (i.e., non-consultant) services, utilizing informal or
formal processes for submission of proposals or bids. Contracts shall
be developed based on the requirements for those processes as
indicated in the Purchasing Policies and Procedures. A Purchase
Order is required, subject to applicable approvals and dollar limitations
for Purchase Orders.
F. Contracts for Public Projects - Rather than the City's Purchasing
Ordinance or Policy, Public Projects are subject to definitions, terms
and conditions specified in the California Public Contract Code and/or
the Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Procedures ("UCCAP") set
forth in the Uniform Public Construction Cost Account Act ("The Act"),
as they may be amended from time to time. When Public Contract
Code (PCC) requirements contradict City requirements, the PCC will
apply. PCC S22002(c), as may be amended, defines a Public Project
for formal bidding purposes as:
(c) "Public project" means any of the following:
1) Construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation,
improvement, demolition, and repair work involving any publicly
owned, leased, or operated facility.

2) Painting or repainting of any publicly owned, leased, or operated
facility.
3) In the case of a publicly owned utility system, "public project" shall
include only the construction, erection, improvement, or repair of
dams, reservoirs, powerplants, and electrical transmission lines of
230,000 volts and higher.
(d) "Public project" does not include maintenance work. For purposes of
this section, "maintenance work" includes all of the following:
1) Routine, recurring, and usual work for the preservation or protection
of any publicly owned or publicly operated facility for its intended
purposes.
2) Minor repainting.
3) Resurfacing of streets and highways at less than one inch.
4) Landscape maintenance, including mowing, watering, trimming,
pruning, planting, replacement of plants, and servicing of irrigation
and sprinkler systems.
5) Work performed to keep, operate, and maintain publicly owned
water, power, or waste disposal systems, including, but not limited
to, dams, reservoirs, po werplants, and electrical transmission lines
of 230, 000 volts and higher.
, (e) For purposes of this chapter, "facility" means any plant, building,
structure, ground facility, utility system, subject to the limitation found in
paragraph (3) of subdivision (c), real property, streets and highways, or
other public work improvement.
City Council adopted Ordinance No. 710 and Resolution No. 2004-70 in
March 2004, thereby electing that the City become subject to the Uniform
Construction Cost Accounting Procedures ("UCCAP") set forth in the
Uniform Public Construction Cost Account Act ("The Act"). These cost
accounting procedures were established by the California Uniform Public
Construction Cost Accounting Commission, and are detailed in the
Commission's Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual. PCC S22000-
22050 describe both the informal and formal bidding procedures, project
dollar thresholds, bidding and noticing requirements, rejection of bids, the
definition and procedure for emergency Public Projects, and other
mandates related to The Act.
The City Council periodically approves Resolutions authorizing the City
Manager to award Public Project contracts solicited through UCCAP
informal bidding processes. Contracts exceeding certain dollar limits (as
they may be revised from time to time by UCCAP), are let in accordance
with UCCAP formal bidding procedures, and awarded by the City Council.

All City Public Projects will comply with the requirements as specified by
UCCAP, including but not limited to accounting procedures.
G. Job Order Contracts - Job Order Contracts are designed to accomplish
small to medium sized projects through a series of individual projects
issued under a base contract. For Public Projects of minor construction
and renovation, alterations, painting, or repair of existing facilities, the City
may not enter into Job Order contracts for amounts greater than $50,000.
New "ground-up" construction is ~excluded from contracting by means of
Job Order.
3.7 CHANGE ORDERS, TASK ORDERS, AND CONTRACT AMENDMENTS

conditions, specifications and/or scope of work) shall be documented as a Change
Order, Task Order, or Contract Amendment.
3.7.1 Department Heads or their designees may sign Change Orders, Task
Orders, and Contract Amendments for purchases and contracts up to

and Contract Amendments. However, for purchases authorized by City
Council, the Resolution authorizing the purchase shall also designate the
signature authority for related Change Orders, Task Orders, and Contract
Amendments.
3.7.3 Change Orders, Task Orders, and Contract Amendments generally should
not exceed 10% of the original contract amount, unless authorized by the
applicable signing authority. A new scope of work and/or a new contract
may be required when the change exceeds 10% of the original amount.
The individual designated in the initial Purchase Order or City Council
Resolution shall make that decision.
3.7.4 A Change Order, Task Order or Contract Amendment is not required
when taxes, shipping and/or handling cause a purchase to exceed the
authorized (Purchase Order) amount; the signatory limit may also be
exceeded in that circumstance.

Amendments to Title 17 Zoning of the City of Rohnert Park Municipal
Code (File No. PL2011-032MC)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions regarding:
1. Introduction of an ordinance amending Title 17 Zoning of the Rohnert Park Municipal
Code to implement housing programs required in the City of Rohnert Park Housing
Element (text amendments as shown in Attachment 1 (Exhibits AI-A6) of this report)
based on the findings listed in the attached Ordinance No. 844 (Attachment 2).
BACKGROUND:
The City ofRohnert Park is considering amending portions of Title 17 Zoning of the City of
Rohnert Park Municipal Code (hereinafter referred to as the (Zoning Ordinance) to implement
certain housing programs of the City of Rohnert Park General Plan Housing Element.
In 2010, the City of Rohnert Park updated its General Plan Housing Element. The Housing
Element is one of the general plan elements required by State law and is an official response to
the need to provide housing for all economic segments of the population.
The adopted Housing Element has been certified by the California Department of Housing and
Community Development subject to the implementation of the housing programs approved by
the City Council. Several ofthe programs included in the Housing Element require an
amendment to the City's Zoning Ordinance to implement the policies and achieve the goals of
the Housing Element.
The Planning Commission heard the amendments on October 27 and December 8, 2011 and
recommended approval to the City Council.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The proposed project involves text amendments to the City of Rohnert Park Zoning Ordinance
necessary for implementing housing programs required in the City's General Plan Housing
Element. The table below lists the Housing Element policies and corresponding implementing
programs involving amendments to the text of the Zoning Ordinance, and provides a brief
description of each proposed amendment. A detailed description of the proposed Zoning
Ordinance amendments for each policy and implementing program are provided in the Analysis
section of this report.
Policy HO-4: Promote a diversity of
housing types, including single-family
detached and attached residences, mobile
homes, multi-family rental and ownership
units, second units, and units combined
with non-residential uses.
Policy HO-5: Minimize governmental
constraints on the provision of housing
that is affordable to lower income
households.
Policy HO-14: Promote the provision of
disabled-accessible units and housing for
the disabled.
Program 4.2
y Change Zoning Ordinance definition of "Single
room occupancy (SRO) living unit facility" to
characterize these facilities as residential rather

ANALYSIS:
As previously stated, the proposed text amendments to portions of Title 17 Zoning of the City of
Rohne11 Park Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) are necessary to implement certain housing
programs of the City of Rohnert Park General Plan Housing Element. The proposed
amendments would establish mechanisms within the Zoning Ordinance to facilitate affordable
housing, housing for special needs and a balance of housing types. The proposed changes would
ease the permitting of emergency shelters. These amendments are specifically included in the
General Plan Housing Element and are consistent with the current General Plan.
Listed below are the policies and corresponding programs of the Housing Element which involve
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Also listed below each policy is a brief description of the
proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment. The proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments are
shown in Exhibits A1-A6 and are summarized below:
Policy: Balance of Housing Types - Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments (Exhibit
At):
Program 4.2
~ An amendment to the definition of "Single room occupancy (SRO) living unit facility" in
Section 17.04.030 is proposed. The revision changes the definition to characterize these
facilities as residential rather than commercial uses. The definition of "Single room
occupancy (SRO) residential hotel" continues to be defined as a commercial facility.
~ The proposed revision to the Zoning Ordinance would separate the two types of SROs
clarifications within the land use tables as follows:
. SRO living unit facility would require approval of an administrative permit in the
Rural Residential/Rural Estate (R-R1R-E), Residential-High Density (R-H), Regional
Commercial (C-R) zoning districts and be permitted in the Mixed Use (M-U) zoning
district subject to the standards in Section 17.07.020 (Z).
. SRO residential hotel would require approval of an administrative permit in the
Regional Commercial (C-R) zoning districts and be permitted in the Mixed Use (M-
U) zoning district subject to the standards in Section 17.07.020 (Z).
~ The language in Land Use Footnotes/Special Provisions in Section 17.07.020 (Z) would
be clarified to indicate that SRO living unit facilities and SRO residential hotels would be
(3)
permitted or subject to an administrative pen11it as indicated in the Land Use Regulations
sections.
Policies: Provision of Affordable Housing - Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments
(Exhibits A2 and A3):
Program 5.1
> Amendments to Definitions (Section 17.04.030) to add definitions for "Off-Campus
Student I-lousing" and "Student Tenant".
> Off-street parking standards were added for Off-Campus Student Housing under
Residential uses (Section '17.16.030 (A)) requiring 3;4 of a parking space per bedroom unit
or occupant, whichever is greater.
Program 5.4
> An amendment to Section 17.06.030 is proposed to change the Conditional Use Permit
requirement for an affordable housing density bonus to an Administrative Permit (AP) in
all residential land uses.
> An amendment to Section 17.07.020(H) is proposed to clarify that while the procedures
for an AP would apply for a request for a density bonus, the normal findings that apply to
an AP would not apply to an AP for a density bonus. State law provides the findings that
must be used in making the determination of whether to grant a density bonus, and those
findings are restated in Section 17.07.020(H).
Policies: Housing for Special Needs - Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments (Exhibits
A4, AS, and A6):
Program 14.5
> Add Section 17.10.080 "Reasonable Accommodation" to provide reasonable
accommodations in the zoning and land use regulations, policies, and practices when
needed to provide an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a
dwelling. This section also complies with the provisions under the Federal Fair Housing
Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (the Acts) in the application of
zoning laws and other land use regulations, policies and procedures.
Program 16.1
> Amend the High Density Residential and Commercial zoning districts to permit
emergency shelters accommodating 7 or more persons.
> Guidelines in Section 17.17.020 (M) would be amended to remove references to
conditional use permit requirements for the siting of housing facilities for the homeless.
Program 16.2
> Amendments to Definitions Section 17.04.030 are proposed to clarify the definition of
"Transitional Housing" as a residential use and to add a definition of "Supportive
Housing".

costs, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code, or for rents for the
targeted units to be set as specified in Section 17.08.050(A) of this title.

paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code, Title 7,
Division 1, upon public health and safety or the physical environment or on any real property
that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 844 OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 17 ZONING OF THE ROHNER T PARK MUNICIPAL
CODE TO IMPLEMENT HOUSING PROGRAMS REQUIRED IN THE CITY OF ROHNERT
P ARK GENERAL PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT
Pursuant to Government Code Section 36933 (c), the following constitutes a summary of
Ordinance No. 844 introduced by the Rohnert Park City Council on February 14, 2012 and
scheduled for consideration of adoption on February 28, 2012 at its meeting to be held in the
City Council Chambers, 130 A vram Avenue, Rohnert Park, California.
The purpose of Ordinance No. 844 is to amend portions of the text of Title 17 Zoning of
the City of Rohnert Park Municipal Code (hereinafter referred to as "the Zoning Ordinance") to
implement certain housing programs of the City of Rohnert Park General Plan Housing Element.
In 2010, the City of Rohnert Park updated its General Plan Housing Element. The Housing
Element is one of the general plan elements required by State law and is an official response to
the need to provide housing for all economic segments of the population, establish goals and
programs that will guide City decision making, and set forth an action plan to implement housing
programs through the year 2014. The goals, policies, and programs included in the Housing
Element were designed to address the existing and projected housing needs of the City of
Rohnert Park. Each program has one or more individuals, bodies, or agencies responsible for its
implementation, along with a potential or committed funding source, and a schedule for its
implementation during the 2007-2014 planning period.
The adopted Housing Element has been certified by the California Department of Housing
and Community Development subject to the implementation of the housing programs approved
by the City Council. Several of the programs included in the Housing Element require an
amendment to the City's Zoning Ordinance to implement the policies and achieve the goals of
the Housing Element. The proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendments would serve to
implement these programs.
A certified copy of the full text of the Ordinance is posted and available for review in the
City Clerk's Office at 130 Avram Avenue, Rohnert Park, California. .
This ordinance shall be in full force and effective thirty (30) days after its adoption, and
published and posted as required by law.
This ordinance was introduced by the Council of the City of Rohnert Park on 14th day of

amendments to the text of Title 17 Zoning of the City of Rohnel1 Park Municipal Code
necessary for implementing housing programs required in the City of RohnertPark
General Plan Housing Element. The Housing Element, which was updated and adopted
by the City in 2010, was subsequently certified by the California Department of Housing
and Community Development subject to the implementation of the housing programs
approved by the City Council. Several of the approved housing programs require an
amendment to the City's Zoning Ordinance to implement the policies and achieve the
goals of the Housing Element. The proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendments will
ensure implementation of these housing programs.
Representatives of this proposal will be available to respond to questions.
All persons interested in this matter should appear at the February 14, 2012 City Council meeting.
Written statements may be submitted to the City Clerk in advance for presentation to the Council
as part of the public hearing.
NOTE: If you challenge this matter in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you
or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence
delivered to the City of Rohnert Park at, or prior to, the public hearing.
Documents related to this item are available for public review during normal business hours at the
City Clerk's Office, 130 Avram Avenue, Rohnert Park, cA, (707) 588-2225.

February 7th, 2012
Phone # 588-8628
Mr. Jake Mackenzie,
Mayor,
Rohnert Park City Council,
Rohnert Park,
CA 94928.
Dear Sir,
I write in the hope that you can assist me with a very worrying problem that
I have been having with some neighbors that live across the street from our home on
Santa Dorotea Circle, in Rohnert Park.
Throughout the last twelve months, we have had to endure a virtual open-
air car/truck/motorcycle repair workshop operation opposite our home. This is not a case
of a neighbor changing spark plugs or an air filter on their car. This is heavy duty
commercial repair work. Accompanying the repair work we have had to tolerate, blaring
music, revving engines, constant noise, bad language, reckless driving etc., all on a
regular basis. Sometimes these activities extend late into the evening. This house seems
to have become a "Hangout" for anyone that wants to wash, repair, or patch up a car,
motorcycle, truck or other conveyance. There is ample evidence of irresponsible driving
to be seen on the roadway outside our home. Skid marks, some more than 20 feet in
length, "decorate" the surface of our street.
I have called the Rohnert Park police department and complained about the above
situation opposite our home. The police have always responded promptly, and after the
visit, the proceedings usually diminish or cease. However, the next day or a few days
later, the cycle starts over again. I have asked some of the responding police officers, if
we could put a permanent stop to the behavior. The only answer I seem to get is to. . ..
"Keep on calling the police". I also called the compliance Officer, Mr. Doug Hearn, last
August. He paid the neighbours a visit, but again, after a few days, the situation reverted
to what it had been before.
The situation we find ourselves in was bad enough, but it deteriorated drastically
on last Thursday, February 2nd. At around 11.30 pm that night, our house and truck was
pelted with rocks from across the street. My wife, who was sleeping, was awoken by the
projectiles smashing against the garage door. When she went outside to investigate, she
could see the rocks, some as big as baseballs, being hurled from behind the fence of the
house across the street. She feared for her safety and retreated back inside to call the
police. I returned home from work at the same time as the police pulled up outside our
home. My wife told the police what had happened and showed the officers the smashed
windows on the truck and the damage to the garage door.
The officers went across to the house and knocked on the front door, but there was
no response. They went around to the side and knocked again, still no response. It was
quite evident that there were people inside the premises. After around 15 minutes, the
officers returned and said the occup~nts would not open the door and there was nothing
more they could do. I put it to them that these people could do the same again as soon as
the police left. One of the officers shrugged his shoulders and said his "hands were tied"
as regards entering the house. He then took details of the damage caused, and left the
scene.
Mr. Mackenzie, Myself and my wife ask? Why do we have to live like this? We
are virtual prisoners in our own home. We came to this country from our native Ireland
16 years ago to make a better life for ourselves. Frankly, over the last year and a half, it
has become a nightmare for us. We both work hard, obey the laws, and pay our taxes.
Indeed, last year, we paid a total of 4,416 dollars property tax for our house. Could you
as a Rohnert Park city representative provide some explanation as to why these people
can terrorize, threaten and intimidate us without any sort of accountability for their
actions. I could go on and on, but I do not want to appear to be verbose.
Thanking you in anticipation of a timely reply,
I remain,
Respectfully yours,
Frank Collins
Resident of Rohnert Park
