UPDATE ON LEGAL EXPENDITURES 2:36:44 PM
Assistant City Manager Mickaelian reported that $72,000 was budgeted for legal expenses
through June 30, 2013 and to date $32,000 have been spent. The majority of the expenses are for
the Oversight Legal Counsel dealing with the denial of the ROPS III.
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.
Discussion ensued regarding the projected legal expenses for the rest of the year for the
Oversight Board Counsel and the Redevelopment Successor Agency Legal Counsel, which will
be dependent on whether litigation is filed and the process that must be followed for the
disposition of property.
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.

PUBLIC COMMENT ON DUE DILIGENCE REPORT REGARDING UNOBLIGATED

Assistant City Manager Mickaelian stated that as required by AB 1484, the purpose of today’s
meeting was to receive public comment on the results of the “due diligence review” conducted
by the auditing firm of Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP, of unobligated funds and assets of the
Former Redevelopment Agency other than the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund funds
that are under control of the Successor Agency and that may become available for distribution to

Of that amount $21,767,872 are restricted for uses specified by debt covenants or other
restrictions, $10,159,322 are the cash equivalents of the physical assets; $8,207 are restricted
to fund enforceable obligations; $2,417,620 are restricted to satisfy the ROPS III obligations;

Chairperson Plass opened the public comment period.
There being no members in the audience that wished to comment, the comment period was
continued it to January 14, 2013 at 2:30 P.M.
UPDATE ON RESULT OF MEET AND CONFER
Assistant City Manager Mickaelian reported that on December 18, 2012, the Department of
Finance denied both the meet and confer appeal and the ROPS III. Staff and the Successor
Agency would be exploring its options at a closed session after the Council meeting. One
concern is that if litigation is filed, it will delay receipt of the notice of completion necessary in
order to utilize the bond proceeds available in the amount of $13.5 million.
In response to inquiries, Assistant City Manager Mickaelian stated that before properties can be
disposed of, the Successor Agency would first need to get the notice of completion and within
six months prepare a long-term property management plan.
Discussion ensued regarding the process to dispose property, the repercussions of filing
litigation, and the legal expenses to date.
Board Member Liles inquired whether the legal budget had been exhausted and if Board action
was needed to increase the amount.
Assistant City Manager Mickaelian stated that he would give an update at the next meeting.

A. Obtain from the Successor Agency a listing of assets as of June 30, 2012 that are not liquid or otherwise
available for distribution (such as capital assets, land held for resale, long-term receivables, etc.) and ascertain if
the values are listed at either purchase cost (based on book value reflected in the accounting records of the
Successor Agency) or market value as recently estimated by the Successor Agency.
Result:
The values of non-liquid assets are based on the book value reflected in the accounting records of the Successor
Agency. See Attachment E.
B. If the assets listed at 7(A) are listed at purchase cost, trace the amounts to a previously audited financial
statement (or to the accounting records of the Successor Agency) and note any differences.
Result:
We found no exceptions as a result of the procedures performed.
C. For any differences noted in 7(B), inspect evidence of disposal of the asset and ascertain that the proceeds were
deposited into the Successor Agency trust fund. If the differences are due to additions (this generally is not
expected to occur), inspect the supporting documentation and note the circumstances.
Result:
We found no exceptions as a result of the procedures performed.
D. If the assets listed at 7(A) are listed at recently estimated market value, inspect the evidence (if any) supporting
the value and note the methodology used. If no evidence is available to support the value and\or methodology,
note the lack of evidence.
Result:
Not applicable. The values of non-liquid assets are not listed at estimated market value.
8. Perform the following procedures:
A. If the Successor Agency believes that asset balances need to be retained to satisfy enforceable obligations, obtain
from the Successor Agency an itemized schedule of asset balances (resources) as of June 30, 2012 that are
dedicated or restricted for the funding of enforceable obligations and perform the following procedures. The
schedule should identify the amount dedicated or restricted, the nature of the dedication or restriction, the
specific enforceable obligation to which the dedication or restriction relates, and the language in the legal
document that is associated with the enforceable obligation that specifies the dedication of existing asset
balances toward payment of that obligation.
i. Compare all information on the schedule to the legal documents that form the basis for the dedication
or restriction of the resource balance in question.
ii. Compare all current balances to the amounts reported in the accounting records of the Successor
Agency or to an alternative computation.

8. A (Continued)
iii. Compare the specified enforceable obligations to those that were included in the final Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule approved by the California Department of Finance.
iv. 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.

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.
