TO: Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency APPROVED FROM: Nelson K. Smith, Finance Officer DEPARTMENT HEAD DATE: August 18, 2011 GENERAL COUNSEL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: Enforceable Obligations Payment Schedule (EOPS) in Complianc with the California State Legislature adopted budget trailer bills ABx1 26 & ABxI 27 - Modification to California Community Redevelopment Law. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Enforceable Obligations Payment Schedule (EOPS). BACKGROUND: On June 28, 2011, the State legislature adopted several budget trailer bills to implement the State Budget for Fiscal Year FY 2011-2012. Among the signed trailer bills are two addressing redevelopment that significantly modify the California Community Redevelopment Law ABxI 26 the "Dissolution Act" and ABxI 27 the "Voluntary Program Act". If upheld against anticipated constitutional challenge, the Redevelopment Restructuring Acts will fundamentally alter the future of California redevelopment. Although the City Council adopted the Resolution of Intent to make remittances in order to avoid dissolution of the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency and the first reading of the requisite ordinance to comply with the Voluntary Alternative Redevelopment Program was considered by the Council on August 17, 2011, AB 1 X 26 still requires Agencies to submit their completed Enforceable Obligation Payments Schedule (EOPS) to the County Auditor- Controller, the State Controller's Office and the State Department of Finance by August 28, 2011. Enforceable obligations refer to actual obligations pre-existing the bills' passage. These include existing bonds, existing loans, payments required by the federal government, and any other "legally binding and enforceable agreement or contract that is not otherwise void as violating the debt limit or public policy." Enforceable obligations also include contracts for the continued administration of the agency and any required payments for judgments or settlements. The attached schedules list the RDA obligations by project area. The California Supreme Court has recently issued a "stay" to prevent the implementation of AB 1 X 27 and portions of AB 1 X 26 from going into effect until the case is decided. While this is S:\Admin\Admin Reports\Rda Enforceable Obligation Admin Aug 201 1.Docx August 18, 2011, 10:10AM RB/NS ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT generally good news, this action has created some additional confusion regarding what actions the Agency should or should not take in the interim. Our legal advisors have recommended we proceed with the approval of the Enforceable Obligations Schedule as a cautionary measure to ensure compliance with those sections of AB 1X 26 that were not "stayed" by the Court.
