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 2 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. 2 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. ATTACHMENTS • Resolution No. OB 2026-01 • ROPS 26-27 3 OVERSIGHT BOARD RESOLUTION NO.
