Dukett, Consultant to the Successor Agency DATE: December 3, 2025 SUBJECT: Approval of Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule 26-27 A and B RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of Directors adopt the attached resolution approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) 26-27 A and B of the Successor Agency to the Westmorland Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”) for the period of July 2026 through June 2027. BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) § 34172 (a) (1), the Westmorland Redevelopment Agency was dissolved on February 1, 2012. Consistent with the provisions of the HSC, the City Council of the City of Westmorland previously elected to serve in the capacity of the Successor Agency. Per HSC § 34179, the Successor Agency previously established the Westmorland Oversight Board to assist in the wind-down of the former redevelopment agency through June 30, 2018, at which time it was dissolved by operation of law. Consistent with HSC § 34179 (j), on July 1, 2018 the Imperial Countywide Oversight Board (the “CWOB”) was established to assist in winding-down the dissolved redevelopment agencies within the County of Imperial. Per HSC § 34177 (o) (1), the Successor Agency is required to prepare a ROPS before each twelve-month fiscal year period. Pursuant to HSC § 34180 (g), CWOB approval is required for the establishment of each ROPS. Pursuant to HSC § 34177 (o) (1), a CWOB-approved ROPS 26-27 A and B for the period of July 2026 through June 2027 must be submitted to the State Department of Finance (the “DOF”) and to the County Auditor- Controller (the “CAC”) not later than February 1, 2026 (the “Submission Deadline”). The CWOB will consider approval of ROPS 26-27 A and B during January 2026. The Successor Agency’s approval of the establishment of ROPS 26-27 A and B will ensure that ROPS 26-27 A and B is filed by the Submission Deadline. In addition, ROPS 26-27 will be Westmorland’s final ROPS. During FY 26-27, the Successor Agency will be dissolved consistent with the procedures specified within the HSC that will require subsequent actions by the City Council and the CWOB. FISCAL IMPACT: Pursuant to HSC § 34177, the Successor Agency is legally required to continue to make payments due for enforceable obligations. The Successor Agency’s and the CWOB’s approval of the ROPS 26-27 A and B will ensure that the Successor Agency has the authority to continue to pay its enforceable obligations. ROPS 26-27 A and B will be submitted to DOF and the CAC by the Submission Deadline. Attachment: Resolution  RESOLUTION NO. 2025-01-SA A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE WESTMORLAND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY APPROVING THE RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE 26-27 A & B FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 2026 THROUGH JUNE 2027 AND APPROVING CERTAIN RELATED ACTIONS WHEREAS, pursuant to Health and Safety Code (the “HSC”) § 34172 (a) (1), the City of Westmorland Redevelopment Agency was dissolved on February 1, 2012; and WHEREAS, consistent with the provisions of the HSC, the City Council of the City of Westmorland previously elected to serve in the capacity of the Successor Agency of the Westmorland Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”); and WHEREAS, pursuant to HSC § 34179, the Successor Agency previously established the Westmorland Oversight Board to assist in the wind-down of the former redevelopment agency through June 30, 2018, at which time it was dissolved by operation of law; and WHEREAS, consistent with HSC § 34179 (j), on July 1, 2018 the Imperial Countywide Oversight Board (the “CWOB”) was established to assist in winding-down the dissolved redevelopment agencies within the County of Imperial; and WHEREAS, per HSC § 34177 (o) (1), the Successor Agency is required to prepare a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (the “ROPS”) before each twelve-month fiscal year period; and WHEREAS, pursuant to HSC § 34180 (g), CWOB approval is required for the establishment of each ROPS; and WHEREAS, pursuant to HSC § 34177 (o) (1), a CWOB-approved ROPS 26-27 A and B for the period of July 2026 through June 2027 must be submitted to the State Department of Finance and to the County Auditor-Controller not later than February 1, 2026 (the “Submission Deadline”); and WHEREAS, pursuant to HSC § 34177, the Successor Agency is legally required to continue to make payments due for enforceable obligations; and WHEREAS, the approval of the establishment of ROPS 26-27 A and B will ensure that the Successor Agency has the authority to continue to pay its enforceable obligations; and WHEREAS, it is proposed that the Successor Agency approve the establishment of the Successor Agency’s ROPS 26-27 A and B, which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”; and WHEREAS, the CWOB will consider approval of ROPS 26-27 A and B during January 2024; and WHEREAS, once approved by the CWOB, ROPS 26-27 A and B will be submitted to the State Department of Finance and to the County Auditor-Controller by the Submission Deadline: and WHEREAS, ROPS 26-27 will be Westmorland’s final ROPS; thereafter the Successor Agency will be dissolved consistent with the procedures specified with the HSC that will require subsequent actions by the City Council and the CWOB; and WHEREAS, all the prerequisites with respect to the approval of this Resolution have been met. Page 2 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Successor Agency to the Westmorland Redevelopment Agency, as follows: Section 1.

During ROPS 26-27, this payment will be paid from the DSRF. 3 EO # 3 represents the principal reduction portion of the debt service due on the 2011 TABs, which is due on August 1st each year, during the "A" ROPS cycle.

During ROPS 23-24, BNY increased the annual fee by $125 per year. The increase was not included in ROPS 23-24, 24-25, and 25-26 (combined = $375). The $375 shortfall is included in ROPS 26-27 for recovery along with the increased fee for ROPS 26-27. A portion of this payment will be funded from the DSRF held by the trustee bank. 7 Per HSC § 34171 (b) (4), the amount requested for EO # 7 for ROPS 26-27 is equal to 50% of the total non-administration-related RPTTF actually received during ROPS 25-26 which was $7,051. One- half of this amount is $3,526. During ROPS 26-27, the Successor Agency will initiate the preparation of its final dissolution report for the CWOB and DOF. The SA estimates that the actual costs of closing out the SA will exceed the formula driven admininstrative allocation.  CITY OF WESTMORLAND REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 19, 2025 FROM: Sergio Cruz, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution 2025-20 to Authorize the city to accept and maintain donations of real and personal property pursuant to California Government Code § 54220.

ISSUE: Authorize Expenditures to Make Needed Repairs to the Westmorland Senior Center in an Amount Not to Exceed $17,500? GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council Expenditures to Make Needed Repairs to the Westmorland Senior Center in an Amount Not to Exceed $17,500. FISCAL IMPACT: The $17,500 will be paid out of the General Fund Reserve Account. CONCLUSION: The Senior Center has not been maintained by the city and the doors need to be replaced with commercial doors. Additionally, the windows are not double paned and there is a bullet hole in one. The last time the building was painted, it was not pretreated, and the paint is peeling off. Staff feels that they can provide the labor with some help from volunteers and possibly volunteer firefighters.
