MEETING DATE: MARCH 6, 2012
TO: JEFFREY C. PARKER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT OF OVERSIGHT BOARD MEMBERS BY TUSTIN
MAYOR
SUMMARY
AB 1x26 requires that each Successor Agency to a former redevelopment agency have
an Oversight Board. Oversight Board members must be appointed and members shall
be reported to the California Department of Finance on or before May 1, 2012 pursuant
to the reformation actions taken by the California Supreme Court in its decision
upholding the "Dissolution Act."
REC®MMENDp-TION
It is recommended that by minute action, the City Council concur with the Mayor's
appointment of the following individuals to the Oversight Board for the Successor
Agency to the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency: Jerry Amante, representing
the city that formed the redevelopment agency and Matt West, representing the
employees of the farmer Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency.
FISCAL IMPACT
Actual appointments of City representatives to the Oversight Board do not have a direct
fiscal impact. Although, the City as the Successor Agency of the former Tustin
Community Redevelopment Agency is responsible pursuant to Section 34179 of the
Health and Safety Cade for paying for "all of the casts of meetings of the Oversight
Board and may include such costs in its subsequent administrative budget." Also
pursuant to Section 34179, Oversight Board members shall serve without compensation
or reimbursement far expenses.
BACKGR®UND
As discussed in the City Council Agenda Report on RDA Elimination dated January 17,
2012, AB 1x26 requires that an Oversight Board be appointed and a members report be
sent to the California State Department of Finance an or before May 1, 2012. The
Oversight Board will supervise the activities of the "Successor Agency to the Tustin
Agenda Report -Appointment of Oversight Board
March 6, 2012

Community Redevelopment Agency" and have "fiduciary responsibilities to holders of
enforceable obligations and the taxing agencies that benefit from distributions of
property tax and other revenues."
The Oversight Board will consist of seven members, with five members to be appointed
as follows:
• Two appointed by the Orange County Board of Supervisors, with one {1) of the
members to be a "public" member.
• One member appointed by the largest special district, by property tax share,
within the territorial jurisdiction of the farmer Tustin Community Redevelopment
Agency (the Orange County Flood Control District).
• One member appointed by the County Superintendent of Schools to represent
schools.
• One member appointed by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges
to represent local community colleges in the county.
The two remaining members will be under the control of the City. These members are
selected as follows:
• One member appointed by the Mayor representing the city that formed the
redevelopment agency.
• One member appointed by the Mayor as a representative of the employees of
the farmer agency from the largest employee organization representing former
agency employees; in this case, the Tustin Municipal Employee's Association.
If positions on the Oversight Board are not filled by May 1st, then the Governor will
make the appointments, as he also will if there is a vacancy for more than 60 days on
the Board.
Since the Oversight Board can begin to operate as soon as a quorum is seated, and
there are pending obligations that require review by the Oversight Board, staff would
recommend that the Mayor make the appointments.
