OVERSIGHT BOARD AGENDA REPORT
TO: CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD TO THE
SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE
CITY OF CRESCENT CITY
FROM: LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR (CITY OF CRESCENT CITY)
DATE: JANUARY 21, 2026
SUBJECT: APPROVE A RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR
THE PERIOD JULY 1, 2026 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2027
RECOMMENDATION
• Consider and adopt Resolution No. OB 2026-01, A Resolution of the Oversight
Board of the Successor Agency to the Dissolved Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Crescent City Approving a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
(ROPS) Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34177(I) for the period July
1, 2026 through June 30, 2027
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34172, the Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Crescent City was dissolved as of February 1, 2012. 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 with current balance of $276,214). 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 (RPTTF) 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

Oversight Board Staff Report
ROPS 26-27
January 21, 2026
from year to year. The Successor Agency utilizes the maximum amount allowed under
the formula to make payments on any 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 is scheduled to review and approve the attached ROPS at its
January 20, 2026 meeting by way of Resolution No. SA 2026-01. After the Successor
Agency approves the ROPS, the Oversight Board must review and approve the ROPS
before it is submitted to the State Department of Finance and the County Auditor. The
ROPS must be submitted by February 1, 2026.
ANALYSIS
Attached is the ROPS for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. It is organized
into the following sections as required by the California Department of Finance:
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS 26-27) – 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 proposed ROPS estimates $159,778 will be available to make recognized obligation
payments in Fiscal Year 2026-27. Of this amount, $12,771 will come from existing funds
in the Successor Agency fund and $147,007 is requested to be funded from 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.

Oversight Board Staff Report
ROPS 26-27
January 21, 2026
FISCAL IMPACT
The ROPS 26-27 financial report authorizes the Successor Agency to request $147,007
from RPTTF funds, all of which will go toward the loan payment. 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. If necessary, the
DOF will make adjustments to the ROPS when final RPTTF amounts are known. If the
DOF makes any adjustments, the Successor Agency will pay the updated amounts in FY
2026-27 and no additional action will be required.
The total amount to be repaid each year will depend on the RPTTF residual, which
fluctuates from year to year. Staff estimates the loan will be fully paid off in Fiscal Year
2028-29, although this may change depending on the annual RPTTF calculation. Once
this loan is fully paid off, there will be no outstanding obligations of the Successor Agency.

Director Leaver gave a brief history of the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agencies
and how each RDA had a successor agency that was responsible for winding
everything down and eventually closing it completely. There is one outstanding loan
and each year a payment on the loan is discussed at the meeting of the Successor
Agency and the Oversight Board reviews the payment. Board Member Harris asked if
the $89k will come out of the $319k remaining balance; Director Leaver answered in the
affirmative. Board Member Schmidt asked questions in regards to the history and
purpose of the loan; Chair Wier explained that back in 2008, the Redevelopment
Agency borrowed money from the City’s Water Fund. The RDAs were dissolved in 2012
leaving an outstanding loan in the Water Fund.
