Staff Presentation/Board Member Questions
Finance Director Rhoads presented an update to the staff report and answered board member
questions. Mr. Rhoads recommended that Board table this item. He provided the following
summary: the DDR was originally submitted and staff was focused on cash and assets. The
report last month reflected that focus. Upon further review it was determined Capital assets should
have been included in the asset column even though capital assets are then backed out, so they
have no net effect on the assets available for return to the taxing entities. At the time the DDR
1
report and agenda were prepared, the exact procedure was not clear. Mr. Rhoads recommended
the Board to table approval of the DDR to allow staff time to update the DDR and include the
capital assets. He also recommended the report be revised as quickly as possible and brought
back to Board for approval.
Board member Kuffner asked if this impacts the time schedule. Mr. Rhoads answered that the
official date is January 15 and that staff will not meet the time schedule. However, he added that it
is staff’s understanding at this time, that there are no penalties for submitting it late.
Counsel for Board, Mr. Glenn, distributed a proposed Resolution to the Board members and staff.
He recommended the Board be proactive and as a “good faith” effort adopt the proposed
resolution to show DOF the Board’s intent. Mr. Glenn stated that public notice will be required
prior to the Board consideration of the revised DDR.
Board member Della Sala asked if the reason to have another notice is to allow staff to come up
with a specific date. Mr. Rhoads said that is the reason.
Staff member Marvin said that the resolution will be revised accordingly to meet Oversight Board’s
requirements. Board member Kuffner asked if this resolution will be made available at the next
meeting. Staff answered in the affirmative.
MOTION:
On a motion by Board member Della Sala, seconded by Board member Potter, the Board
unanimously moved to Table the Approval of the Due Diligence Review for Non-Housing
Fund and Account Balances of the Former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Monterey
in Accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 34179.5 and Taking Certain other
Actions in Connection Therewith and that it be scheduled for review before the Board as
soon as practicable.
