RECOMMENDATION / PROPOSED ACTION
It is recommended the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency to the Tustin
Community Redevelopment Agency adopt Oversight Board Resolution No. 14-12,
reconsidering, affirming and ratifying the amended and reinstated Public Works

(Note: This Resolution shall be effective after transmittal of this Resolution to the
Department of Finance ("DoF") and the expiration of five (5) business days pending a
request for review by DoF within the time periods set forth in the Dissolution Law. In
this regard, if DoF requests review hereof, it will have 40 days from the date of its

approved by DoF.)
BACKGROUND
On June 2, 1993, the Tustin City Council and the Tustin Community Redevelopment
Agency approved and authorized the execution of the Public Works Agreement
("Agreement") for the South Central Redevelopment Project Area. The Agreement
required the Agency to reimburse the City for public improvements constructed as part
of the Newport Avenue Extension Project.
On June 29, 2011, Assembly Bill x1 26 became effective, causing the dissolution and
wind down of all redevelopment agencies; thereafter, Assembly Bill 1484 and other
Agenda Report
June 24, 2014

implementing legislation to Division 24, Parts 1.8 and 1.85 of the California Health &
Safety Code (together, "Dissolution Law"). All redevelopment agencies in California
were dissolved as of and on February 1, 2012, and the Successor Agency became
responsible for winding down redevelopment activities in the City of Tustin. At the time
of Dissolution, the City had made $38,254,807 in contracted improvements to be
reimbursed under the Agreement.
In compliance with Health and Safety Code ("HSC") Section 34177, the Successor
Agency submitted a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS") on March 15,
2012, to the State of California Department of Finance ("DoF") for approval. DoF
recognized the Agreement as an enforceable obligation and approved the request for
$8,558,775 in Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds ("RPTTF") to reimburse the
City in accordance with the Agreement. In accordance with Dissolution Law's ROPS
submission deadlines, the Successor Agency included the Agreement on ROPS II and
ROPS III. DoF approved payments of $1,954,712 for each period.
On February 27, 2013, the Successor Agency submitted ROPS 13-14A, including a line
item request of $1,954,712 for the Public Works Agreement. On April 13, 2013, DoF
denied the City's request for payment, reversing their position on the Agreement as an
enforceable obligation. On April 19, 2013, the City requested and was granted a "Meet
and Confer' session for May 1, 2013. After presenting documentation supporting the
City's contention that the Agreement is an enforceable obligation, DoF responded with a
denial letter on May 17, 2013, maintaining its position the Agreement is not an
enforceable obligation and not eligible to receive RPTTF.
As a result of the passage of Assembly Bill 1484 in June of 2012, a provision was
added to the Dissolution Law providing successor agencies with an opportunity to
reinstate "loan agreements" through a Finding of Completion ("Finding") provision. On
May 10, 2013, the Successor Agency remitted what it believes to be its last remaining
unencumbered funds to the Orange County Auditor -Controller and on May 13, 2013,
requested a Finding from DoF.
On July 3, 2013, DoF informed the Successor Agency that a Finding would not be
issued until after the Successor Agency remitted the principal and interest due on
December 1, 2013, for the December 31, 2008, Promissory Note between the City and
Successor Agency. DoF's failure to issue the required finding of completion is contrary
to the requirements under HSC Section 34179.7, including their failure to provide a
response within five business days of the Agency's May 13th request. In response, the
City, the Successor Agency and the Tustin Housing Authority filed a "Petition for Writ of
Mandate and Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief' ("Petition") in August with
the Superior Court of the State of California ("Court") in Sacramento County.

In preparation for the March 2014 hearing on the Petition, on January 21St, the City and
Successor Agency approved the Amended Public Works Agreement ("Amended
Agreement"); and, then on January 28t", the Oversight Board adopted Resolution No.
14-03 that amended and reinstated the Agreement, which under Section 34191.4(b)(2)
establishes a payment schedule for repayment of the loan and set interest at the Local
Agency Investment Fund rate. The DoF denied the Oversight Board's action.
In anticipation of a favorable ruling from the Court, the Successor Agency submitted the
Oversight Board -approved, Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule 14-15A
("ROPS 14-15A") to DoF on February 27, 2014, including the Amended Agreement.
The DoF issued the ROPS 14-15A review letter on April 11, 2014, and, the DoF again
denied the Amended Agreement as an enforceable obligation. The Successor Agency
requested a "Meet and Confer", seeking to list the Amended Agreement (and other
disallowed items) on ROPS 14-15A based on the April 7, 2014, Court decision on
Petition Case No. 34-2013-80001623. The Court held that the Amended Agreement is
not an enforceable obligation, but it is a contract eligible to be reinstated under Section
34191.4 after the issuance of a Finding of Completion; and the Court ruled in Tustin's
favor that the DoF erred in refusing to issue to Tustin its Finding of Completion after the
due diligence payments were made in May 2013. On April 24, 2014, the Court issued a
Writ mandating DoF to issue the Successor Agency its Finding of Completion, nunc pro
tunc as of May 15, 2013.
On April 29, 2014, the Oversight Board reconsidered Oversight Board Resolution
No. 14-03 and adopted Oversight Board Resolution No. 14-08, affirming and ratifying
the previously approved Amended Agreement. The Oversight Board determined the
Amended Agreement was a loan that was entered into for legitimate redevelopment
purposes.
On May 14, 2014, DoF did not approve Oversight Board Resolution No. 14-08, citing
Section 34191.4(b)(1) which specifically states that loan agreements between the
agency and the city that created it shall be deemed enforceable obligations provide that
the Oversight Board makes a finding that the loan was for legitimate redevelopment
purposes. DoF determined that without the original executed loan agreement it was
unclear how the Oversight Board could make the finding that the loan was for legitimate
redevelopment purposes. Furthermore, DoF determined the Public Works Agreement
is a reimbursement agreement, not a loan agreement. As authorized by Section
34179(h), DoF returned the Oversight Board action to the Oversight Board for
reconsideration.
Pursuant to Section 34179(h), the Oversight Board has reconsidered the Amended
Agreement and has determined the following:

1. Unexecuted Agreements with Minutes documenting approval actions by the
governing boards are considered enforceable contracts by the courts; and
2. The Amended Agreement is a loan as defined by all standards of acceptable
legal and business practice; and
3. The loan was for legitimate redevelopment purposes, causing redevelopment in
accordance with the South Central Redevelopment Project Area Redevelopment
Plan and Implementation Plan.
The Oversight Board has determined reaffirming and re -ratifying the previously
approved and reinstated Amended Agreement and submission to DoF is in the best
interest of the City and Successor Agency and in accord with the public purposes and
provisions of applicable state and local laws and requirements. A copy of the Amended
Agreement is attached to Oversight Board Resolution No. 14-12. Staff is available to
answer any questions the Oversight Board may have.

of Tustin adopted and approved a certain Redevelopment Plan ("Redevelopment Plan") for the
South Central Redevelopment Project (the "Project"); and
B. Pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California
(Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.), the former Tustin Community Redevelopment
Agency ("former Agency") and then the Successor Agency have been carrying out the
Redevelopment Plan for the Project in the Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area"); and
C. In furtherance of the Project, the former Agency and the City entered into that
certain Public Works Agreement ("Public Works Agreement") under which the City caused the
installation and construction of certain street, utility and other public improvements and
facilities to serve the Project ("Improvements") as described in EXHIBIT 'A' attached hereto
and incorporated herein, and the former Agency is obligated by such contract to pay the City
for the costs of such public improvements by periodic payments over a period of years
according to the terms of this Agreement; and
D. The former Agency and the City Council of the City found and determined that
the public improvements to be provided and thereafter provided pursuant to the Public Works
Agreement were of benefit to the Project Area and that no other reasonable means of financing
such improvements were available to the community; and
E. The Successor Agency is a public body corporate and politic, organized and
operating under Parts 1.8 and 1.85 of Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code,
and the successor the former Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency ("former Agency")
that was previously a community redevelopment agency organized and existing pursuant to the
Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section 33000, et seq. ("CRL"); aiid
F. Assembly Bill xl 26 ("AB xl 26") added Parts 1.8 and 1.85 to Division 24 of
the California Health & Safety Code and which laws were modified, in part, and determined
constitutional by the California Supreme Court in the petition California Redevelopment
Association, et al. v> Ana Matosantos, et al., Case No. 5194861 ("Madosantos Decision"),
which laws and court opinion caused the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies and
winding down of the affairs of former redevelopment agencies; thereafter, such laws were
amended further by Assembly Bill 1484 ("AB 1484") (together AB xl 26, the Matosantos
Decision, and AB 1484 are referred to as the "Dissolution Laws"), and all statutory references
herein are to the Health and Safety Code of the Dissolution Laws unless otherwise stated; and
G. As of February 1, 2012 the former Agency was dissolved pursuant to the
Dissolution Laws and as a separate public entity, corporate and politic the Successor Agency
administers the enforceable obligations of the former Agency and otherwise unwinds the
former Agency's affairs, all subject to the review and approval by a seven -member oversight
board ("Oversight Hoard"); and
H. Section 34179 provides that the Oversight Board has fiduciary responsibilities
to holders of enforceable obligations and the affected taxing entities that benefit from
distributions of property tax and other revenues pursuant to Section 34188 of Part 1.85 of the
Dissolution Laws; and
1. At the time of Dissolution, the City had made S38,254,807 in contracted public
improvements that the former Agency was obligated to reimburse under the Public Works
Agreement; and
J. In accordance with the Dissolution Act and in order to receive Redevelopment
Property Tax Trust Funds ("RPTTF"), the Successor Agency submitted the Public Works
Agreement on a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS") for approval by the State
of California Department of Finance ("DoF"); and
K. After approving the Public Works Agreement as an enforceable obligation and
authorizing funding therefor from RPTTF funds on the Successor Agency's first three
ROPE submittals (ROPS I, II and III), DoF denied the Public Works Agreement in the fourth
RODS (RODS 13-14A), reversing its prior determinations that such contract is an enforceable
obligation and to be funded from RPTTF monies; and
L. On April 19, 2013, the Successor Agency requested and was granted a
"Meet and Confer" session with the Dol that occurred on May 1, 2013; and
M. After considering the Successor Agency's (and City's) documentation
supporting the Public Works Agreement as an enforceable obligation, DoF issued its decision
letter dated May 17, 2013 that denied funding pursuant to thereto, re -asserted its position
regarding ROPS I3 -14A that the Public Works Agreement is not an enforceable obligation and
indicated the Successor Agency could seek to reinstate the Public Works Agreement upon
receiving a Finding of Completion ("Finding"); and
N. On May 10, 2013, the Successor Agency remitted what it believed to be its last
remaining unencumbered funds to the Orange County Auditor -Controller and on May 13,
2013, requested a Finding from DoF; and
0. On July 3, 2013, DoF informed the Successor Agency that a Finding would not
be issued until after the Successor Agency remitted the principal and interest due on
December 1, 2013 for the December 31, 2008 Promissory Note between the City and Successor
Agency even though such monies were not due at the time of the "true -up" payment in July
2012 nor at the time of completion of DoF's review of the due diligence review reports in late
2012 and early 2013; and
P. In response, the City, the Successor Agency and the Tustin Housing Authority
have filed a "Petition for Writ of Mandate and Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive
2
RelieF' in the Superior Court, County of Sacramento, pursuant to the Dissolution Laws
("Petition"); and
Q. While the Finding has been withheld from the Successor Agency under the
Dissolution Laws, nonetheless as a part of the facts and information to be submitted to the
Superior Court in connection with advancing the Petition, the City and the Successor Agency
have determined it necessary and appropriate to amend and reinstate the Public Works
Agreement originally entered into by and between the City of Tustin and the former Agency as
an enforceable obligation; and
R. Under the Dissolution Laws, by this First Amendment the Public Works
Agreement will be reinstated and re-established and thereafter will be submitted to the
