The Oversight Board, at its October 2, 2012 meeting by Resolution No. OB8-2012 authorized the Oversight Board Legal Counsel to provide legal services on an as needed basis within the approved administrative budget, which is $72,000.

Board Member Herrington stated that if the work is being done for the Successor Agency, it should be a Successor Agency cost to the City because the City is the Successor Agency. Mr. Herrington added that the Successor Agency has to prepare the property management plan that the Oversight Board has to approve. Mr. Herrington stressed the importance of keeping the expenditures for each of the legal counsels separate. Board Member Liles thanked staff for the update and asked that an update be included at each meeting. In response to Vice Chairperson Ziedrich’s inquiry regarding upcoming issues for the Oversight Board, Assistant City Manager Mickaelian stated the ROPS IV needs to be adopted by March , 2013 and the plan is to have the Successor Agency approve the projects for the bond proceeds that need to be included in the ROPS IV at the next Successor Agency meeting. Once the finding of completion is received from DOF, staff will start working on the property management plan.

Attach as an exhibit to the report the listing obtained from the Successor Agency. Identify in the report any listed balances for which the Successor Agency was unable to provide appropriate restricting language in the legal document associated with the enforceable obligation. Result: The Successor Agency believes that $8,207 needs to be retained to satisfy accounts payable obligations as of June 30, 2012. See Attachment F. B. If the Successor Agency believes that future revenues together with balances dedicated or restricted to an enforceable obligation are insufficient to fund future obligation payments and thus retention of current balances is required, obtain from the Successor Agency a schedule of approved enforceable obligations that includes a projection of the annual spending requirements to satisfy each obligation and a projection of the annual revenues available to fund those requirements and perform the following procedures: i. Compare the enforceable obligations to those that were approved by the California Department of Finance. Procedures to accomplish this may include reviewing the letter from the California Department of Finance approving the Recognized Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedules for the six month period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012 and for the six month period July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. ii. Compare the forecasted annual spending requirements to the legal document supporting each enforceable obligation. a. Obtain from the Successor Agency its assumptions relating to the forecasted annual spending requirements and disclose in the report major assumptions associated with the projections. iii. For the forecasted annual revenues: a. Obtain from the Successor Agency its assumptions for the forecasted annual revenues and disclose in the report major assumptions associated with the projections. Result: The procedure was not considered required as the Successor Agency believes future revenues together with dedicated balances will be sufficient to fund future obligations. C. If the Successor Agency believes that projected property tax revenues and other general purpose revenues to be received by the Successor Agency are insufficient to pay bond debt service payments (considering both the timing and amount of the related cash flows), obtain from the Successor Agency a schedule demonstrating this insufficiency and apply the following procedures to the information reflected in that schedule. i. Compare the timing and amounts of bond debt service payments to the related bond debt service schedules in the bond agreement. ii. Obtain the assumptions for the forecasted property tax revenues and disclose major assumptions associated with the projections. iii. Obtain the assumptions for the forecasted other general purpose revenues and disclose major assumptions associated with the projections. Result: The procedure was not considered required as the Successor Agency believes future tax revenues will be sufficient to fund future obligations. 6 SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF HEALDSBURG AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES OF AB 1484 8. (Continued) If procedures A, B, or C were performed, calculate the amount of current unrestricted balances necessary for retention in order to meet the enforceable obligations by performing the following procedures: iv. Combine the amount of identified current dedicated or restricted balances and the amount of forecasted annual revenues to arrive at the amount of total resources available to fund enforceable obligations. v. Reduce the amount of total resources available by the amount forecasted for the annual spending requirements. A negative result indicates the amount of current unrestricted balances that needs to be retained. vi. Include the calculation in the AUP report. Result: The $8,207 of cash needed to be retained is part of the accounts payable balance as of June 30, 2012. 9. If the Successor Agency believes that cash balances as of June 30, 2012 need to be retained to satisfy obligations on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, obtain a copy of the final ROPS for the period of July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and a copy of the final ROPS for the period January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013. For each obligation listed on the ROPS, the Successor Agency should add columns identifying (1) any dollar amounts of existing cash that are needed to satisfy that obligation and (2) the Successor Agency’s explanation as to why the Successor Agency believes that such balances are needed to satisfy the obligation. Include this schedule as an attachment to the AUP report. Result: The Successor Agency believes that $2,417,620 needs to be retained to satisfy obligations on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. See Attachment G. 10. Include (or present) a schedule detailing the computation of the Balance Available for Allocation to Affected Taxing Entities. Amounts included in the calculation should agree to the results of the procedures performed in each section above. The schedule should also include a deduction to recognize amounts already paid to the County Auditor-Controller on July 12, 2012 as directed by the California Department of Finance. The amount of this deduction presented should be agreed to evidence of payment. The attached example summary schedule may be considered for this purpose. Separate schedules should be completed for the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund and for all other funds combined (excluding the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund). Result: We found no exceptions as a result of the procedures performed. See Attachment H. 11. Obtain a representation letter from Successor Agency management acknowledging their responsibility for the data provided to the practitioner and the data presented in the report or in any attachments to the report. Included in the representations should be an acknowledgment that management is not aware of any transfers (as defined by Section 34179.5) from either the former Redevelopment Agency or the Successor Agency to other parties for the period from January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 that have not been properly identified in the AUP report and its related exhibits. Management’s refusal to sign the representation letter should be noted in the AUP report as required by attestation standards. Result: We found no exceptions as a result of the procedures performed. 7 SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF HEALDSBURG AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES OF AB 1484 We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an examination, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on management’s assertion.
