The City of Crescent City (“RDA Successor Agency”) is the successor agency of the Redevelopment Agency, and pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34173(g), the RDA Successor Agency is now a separate legal entity from the City. The sole purpose of the Successor Agency is to wind down (close out) the affairs of the former RDA. This involves disposing of all assets and paying off all enforceable obligations. The Successor Agency has sold or transferred all real property owned by the former RDA in accordance with the Long Range Property Management Plan, and all outstanding notes receivable have been collected and disbursed to the taxing entities as required by State regulation. The only remaining business of the Successor Agency is to pay off the enforceable obligations, of which only one remains outstanding (Water Fund loan). These obligations are paid off over time, through the annual approval of a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS). Through the ROPS process, the Successor Agency estimates its own resources available (if any) to pay the obligations and requests additional funding from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund as available. The total amount the Successor Agency is allowed to pay out each year is based on a formula and the actual amount changes from year to Oversight Board Staff Report ROPS 23-24 January 18, 2023 year. The Successor Agency utilizes the maximum amount allowed under the formula to make payments on the outstanding loans. The Oversight Board is responsible for approving the actions of the RDA Successor Agency pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179, including approval of the ROPS each year. The Successor Agency by resolution reviewed and approved the attached ROPS at its January 10, 2023 meeting. After the Successor Agency approves the ROPS, the Oversight Board must review and approve the ROPS by resolution before it is submitted to the State Department of Finance and the County Auditor. The ROPS must be submitted by February 1, 2023. ANALYSIS Attached is the ROPS for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. It is organized into the following sections as required by the California Department of Finance: Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS 23-24) – Summary and Detail This report shows the estimated amounts to be expended and the funding source for those amounts. The Successor Agency has two potential sources of funding to make payments on recognized obligations and to cover administrative costs: • Existing assets / fund balance • Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) Of these amounts, the Successor Agency is required to use its assets first and then may apply for RPTTF to cover any shortfall to make approved payments toward recognized obligations. RPTTF is collected by the County and distributed to taxing entities pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34183. The remaining amount (called the residual) is potentially available to fund Successor Agency obligations. However, the Successor Agency may only request up to 50% of the difference between the projected residual and the actual residual from the base year 2012-13. The ROPS 23-24 is based on prior year actual amounts and a projection for the current year. If the actual current year amounts differ from the projection, the State Department of Finance will adjust the ROPS amount. If the State adjusts the ROPS amounts, the Successor Agency will adjust the payment accordingly and no additional action is required from the Successor Agency or the Oversight Board. The proposed ROPS 23-24 estimates $90,000 will be available to make recognized obligation payments (toward the Water Fund loan) plus a request of $5,000 for admin costs, for a total ROPS of $95,000. The Successor Agency is not expected to have funds remaining, so the entire amount is requested from RPTTF. 2 Oversight Board Staff Report ROPS 23-24 January 18, 2023 The amount available to make payments on the Successor Agency’s obligations changes each year due to the calculation of residual RPTTF. Cash Balance Report The Report of Cash Balances tracks Successor Agency cash flow and ending balances across several ROPS periods. This form helps provide transparency over the continual estimation and tax distribution true-up processes embedded in the State dissolution law. FISCAL IMPACT The ROPS 23-24 would authorize the Successor Agency to request $95,000 in RPTTF funds (total $155,000) for a loan payment of $90,000 plus $5,000 for administrative costs. This is in accordance with the purpose of the Successor Agency, which is to wind down the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency and pay its enforceable obligations. Due to the timing of when final RPTTF information is available compared to the deadline for ROPS submission, the amounts provided are based on estimates only. If necessary, the DOF will make adjustments to the ROPS when final RPTTF amounts are known. At this time, the Water Fund loan (the only remaining item for the Successor Agency) is estimated to be paid off in FY 2029-30.
