C URRENT P ROJECTS (C ONTINUED ) J ULY T RUE U P P AYMENT Health and Safety Code (HSC) section subdivision (b) as added by AB 1484 clarified that property tax distributed to redevelopment agencies in December 2011 or January 2012 should have been subject to distribution through the AB x1 26 mechanism. In part due to confusion about the Supreme Court’s order regarding the changes in deadlines under AB x1 26, very few, if any, counties correctly adjusted the June 1 property tax payments to successor agencies to capture the amount of funds owed to taxing entities for the January through June period.

C URRENT P ROJECTS (C ONTINUED ) J ULY T RUE U P P AYMENT No later than July 9, 2012, county auditor- controllers were required to notify each successor agency of the “residual” amount it still owes to affected taxing entities (ATEs), if anything, for the period covered by the January 2012 to June 2012 ROPS, after the payment of property tax-funded enforceable obligations and agency administrative costs that were approved by Finance. Failure to remit the residual amount to the county auditor-controller could result in penalties for the successor agency and/or the city that created the RDA 27 Successor Agencies failed to remit payment To date no penalties have been levied against these Successor Agencies

C URRENT P ROJECTS (C ONTINUED ) H OUSING A SSET T RANSFERS Pursuant to HSC section (a) (2), the entity assuming the housing functions of the former redevelopment agency is required to submit to the Department of Finance a list of all housing assets by August 1, The list must adequately detail how the housing asset meets the criteria specified in HSC Section (e) and must also include all assets transferred between February 1, 2012 and the date upon which the list is created.

C URRENT P ROJECTS (C ONTINUED ) H OUSING A SSET T RANSFERS DOF has 30 days to review and object to any transfers included on the Housing Asset Transfer Form. If there is any disagreement with our determination the Housing Entity assuming the functions may request a meet and confer on the issue. To date Finance has issued over 360 determination letters and has received over 150 requests to meet and confer.

C URRENT P ROJECTS (C ONTINUED ) ROPS R EVIEW Upon receipt of ROPS forms, DOF has 45 days to complete review and deny any ROPS items. Agencies are not allowed to make payments on items denied by DOF. Items not denied can be reviewed and denied during a subsequent ROPS review. DOF’s final determination must be communicated to successor agencies and county auditor-controllers 15 days before the date of property tax distribution.  January 1: January – June ROPS  June 1: July – December ROPS

C URRENT P ROJECTS (C ONTINUED ) D UE D ILIGENCE R EVIEWS HSC Section requires each Successor Agency to employ a licensed accountant, approved by the county auditor-controller and with experience and expertise in local government accounting, to conduct a due diligence review to determine the unobligated balances available for transfer to taxing entities. As an alternative, an audit provided by the county auditor-controller that provides the information required by this section may be used to comply with this section with the concurrence of the oversight board.

C URRENT P ROJECTS (C ONTINUED ) D UE D ILIGENCE R EVIEWS There are two Due Diligence Reviews to be conducted Low-Moderate Income Housing Fund (LMIHF) All other Funds and Accounts The LMIHF review is due to Finance by October 15, 2012 The all other Funds and Account review is due by January 15, 2013 DOF is required to review the Due Diligence Reviews and make determinations related to the unobligated balances available for transfer to taxing entities If there is a disagreement with DOF’s determination a request to meet and confer may be made within 5 business days of DOF’s determination.

C URRENT P ROJECTS (C ONTINUED ) P ROPERTY D ISPOSITION Outcomes of DOF Review If DOF objects to the transfer, the property shall remain with the successor agency for inclusion in the Long Range Property Management Plan.
