BACKGROUND
On September 7, 2010, the Tustin City Council and Tustin Community Redevelopment
Agency approved the $4,650,000 Working Capital Loan to the South Central Project
Area. The Original Working Capital Loan of $2,400,000 was issued June 12, 1996 for
the purposes of permitting the Agency to complete the goals and objectives of the South
Central Project Area. The Working Capital Loan carried over each year and the
principal balance increased until the final issuance in 2010.

On June 29, 2011, Assembly Bill X1 26 became effective, causing the dissolution and
wind down of all redevelopment agencies ("Dissolution Act"). All redevelopment
agencies in California were dissolved as of February 1, 2012, and the Successor
Agency to the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency became responsible for
winding down redevelopment activities in the City of Tustin.
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. The ROPS
included a request for Trust Funds to reimburse the City in accordance with the Working
Capital Loan. On March 29, 2012, DoF denied the City's request for reimbursement,
stating it was not an enforceable obligation. On April 10, 2012, the City protested DoF's
denial but did not have any other recourse under the existing statute at that time.
As a result of the passage of Assembly Bill 1484 in June of 2012, a provision was
added to the Dissolution Act 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 believed 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 Successor Agency's May 13`h 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' with
the Superior Court in Sacramento County.
On April 24, 2014, the Superior Court issued its ruling in the Petition under which a Writ
mandated DoF issue the Successor Agency its Finding, nunc pro tunc as of May 15,
2013. On May 1, 2014, pursuant to the Writ issued by the Court, DoF issued the
Finding, effective May 15, 2013. Upon issuance of the Finding, staff and the City
Attorney initiated discussions with DoF regarding the Promissory Note.
On June 19, 2014, the City, the Successor Agency and the Tustin Housing Authority
filed a notice of appeal in response to other findings in the Petition. On July 8, 2014,
DoF filed a notice of cross-appeal to challenge the judgment that DoF had abused its
discretion in refusing to issue a Finding until the amount due under the Promissory Note
had been remitted.

Since May 2014, both parties have continued to work towards reaching an agreement
on the Promissory Note. On December 9, 2014, the City and DoF executed a
Promissory Note Settlement Agreement outlining the payment schedule for the City to
pay off the Note and DoF's promise to abandon or dismiss the cross-appeal. On
December 12, 2014, DoF filed an abandonment of the cross-appeal and on December
15, 2014 the abandonment became official.
On January 27, 2015, the Oversight Board adopted Oversight Board Resolution No. 15-
01, amending and reinstating the Working Capital Loan. The Oversight Board
determined the Amended Agreement was a loan that was entered into for legitimate
redevelopment purposes.
On March 19, 2015, DoF denied the reinstatement of the Working Capital Loan, stating
the agreement appeared to be a reimbursement for services, rather than a loan of cash.
On April 10, 2015, DoF denied the Working Capital Loan since they had denied
Oversight Board Resolution No. 15-01 and indicated that if the Successor Agency
provided additional documentation the item may be eligible for funding in future ROPS.
The Successor Agency requested a "Meet and Confer' and, on April 27, 2015,
presented the additional documentation to DoF. On May 16, 2015, DoF again denied
the Working Capital Loan, stating that although the Successor Agency provided
documentation supporting the loan of cash, the Oversight Board had not reconsidered
the Working Capital Loan. Pursuant to Section 34179(h), the Oversight Board has
reconsidered the Amended Working Capital Loan and has determined the following:
1. The Amended Working Capital Loan is a loan as defined by all standards of acceptable
legal and business practice; and
2. 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 reconsidering, affirming and ratifying the
previously approved and reinstated Amended Working Capital Loan 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 First Amendment to the Working Capital Loan and Administrative Services
Agreement is attached to Oversight Board Resolution No. 15-06 for Oversight Board
approval. Staff is available to answer any questions the Oversight Board may have.
