(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 the DoF within the time periods set forth in Assembly Bill No. 1484. In this regard, if the DoF requests review hereof, it will have 40 days from the date of its request to approve this Oversight Board action or return it to the Oversight Board for reconsideration and the action, if subject to review by the DoF, will not be effective until approved by the DoF.) BACKGROUND Pursuant to the passage of Senate Bill ("SB") 107, Health and Safety Code ("HSC") Section 34177 was amended to add 34177(o), revising the number of Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules ("ROPS") required during a fiscal year from two (2) six- month schedules to one (1) twelve month schedule. On July 1, 2016, this became operationally effective under ROPS 16-17. HSC Section 341770) requires the Successor Agency to prepare a proposed administrative budget for upcoming twelve month period and submit it to the Oversight Board for approval. According to the HSC Section 341770), the administrative budget is to include all of the following: (i) estimated amounts of the Successor Agency's administrative costs for the up -coming fiscal period; (ii) the proposed sources of payment Agenda Report January 23, 2018 Page 2 for the costs identified in (i); and (iii) proposals for arrangements for administrative and operations services provided by the city, county, city and county, or other entity. Pursuant to HSC Section 34171, the Administrative Budget for FY 2018-19 is payable from property tax revenues of up to three percent (3%) of property tax allocated to the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund during FY 2018-19. In any event, the amount allocated for administrative costs shall not be less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) for any fiscal year. The proposed Successor Agency Administrative Budget for the period of July 2018 through June 2019 reflects the projected administrative costs in ROPS 18-19. Under HSC 34177(k), the Successor Agency provides these administrative cost estimates to be paid from property tax revenues deposited into the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund to the County of Orange Auditor -Controller for the fiscal period. Since the ROPS may change in the future, authorization for the City Manager or Finance Director to make any future modifications necessary to the Administrative Budget is requested, subject to Oversight Board Chair approval. In conjunction with the past approvals of the Administrative Budget for FY 2011-12, 2012- 13, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18 including each six month ROPS time frame, the City and Successor Agency entered into an Agreement for reimbursement of costs incurred by the City to support Successor Agency operations and obligations (original agreement entered into March 20, 2012, First Amendment on April 17, 2012; Second Amendment on June 19, 2012; Third Amendment on August 14, 2012; Fourth Amendment on February 19, 2013; Fifth Amendment on September 24, 2013; Sixth Amendment on February 25, 2014; Seventh Amendment on September 30, 2014; Eighth Amendment on February 24, 2015; Ninth Amendment on September 22, 2015; Tenth Amendment on January 26, 2016; and Eleventh Amendment on January 24, 2017). The Oversight Board has previously authorized the Successor Agency to enter into subsequent amendments to this agreement to reflect the revised Administrative Budgets modified in conjunction with approval of the ROPS. The proposed Administrative Budget reflects a $250,000 administrative cost distribution for the period of July 2018 to June 2019. A copy of the amended agreement is attached for Oversight Board approval. Staff is available to answer any questions the Oversight Board may have.

RECITALS A. The Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") was established as a community redevelopment agency that was previously organized and existing under the California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Sections 33000, et seq. ("CRL"), and previously authorized to transact business and exercise the powers of a redevelopment agency pursuant to action of the City Council ("City Council") of the City. B. The Tustin Housing Authority is a housing authority and public body corporate and politic organized, existing, and operating pursuant to the California Housing Authorities Law, Health and Safety Code Section 34200, et seq. C. Assembly Bill 1X 26 added Parts 1.8 and 1.85 to Division 24 of the California Health & Safety Code, which laws caused the dissolution and wind down of all redevelopment agencies ("Dissolution Act"). D. On December 29, 2011, California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Matosantos, Case No. 5194861, the California Supreme Court upheld the Dissolution Act and thereby all redevelopment agencies in California are subject to the Dissolution Act and were dissolved effective February 1, 2012. E. The Agency is now a dissolved community redevelopment agency pursuant to the Dissolution Act. F. By a resolution considered and approved by the City Council at an open public meeting on January 17, 2012, the City chose to become and serve as the "City Successor Agency" to the dissolved Agency under the Dissolution Act. G. As of and on and after February 1, 2012, the City serves as the "City Successor Agency" and will perform its functions as the successor agency under the Dissolution Act to administer the enforceable obligations of the Agency and otherwise unwind the Agency's affairs, all subject to review and approval by a seven -member Oversight Board formed thereunder. H. By a resolution considered and approved by the City Council at an open public meeting on January 17, 2012, and pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 34176 of the Dissolution Act, the City declined to assume the housing assets and functions of the Agency and selected the Tustin Housing Authority to assume such housing assets and functions, and on such date, also pursuant to Section 34176, the Tustin Housing Authority accepted and assumed the housing assets and functions of the Agency and as of February 1, 2012 became and serves as the "Successor Housing Agency" of the former Agency pursuant to the Dissolution Act. At this time, assets Page 1 assigned and transferred by operation of law and to be assigned and transferred to the Successor Agency by authorization of and direction from the Oversight Board and operating pursuant to the Dissolution Act, are not adequate to fund administrative support costs and expenses unless any future Low and Moderate Income Housing fund balances are authorized to be transferred under State Law to the Successor Housing Agency. If this occurs, a future modification to this Agreement may be necessary. I. City as the Successor Agency is engaged in activities necessary and appropriate to wind down the activities of Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency's Redevelopment Plans ("Redevelopment Plans") for the MCAS Tustin Project, the Town Center Project and the South Central Project ("Project Areas") that were originally adopted and amended by ordinances of the City Council. J. Employees of the City will perform day-to-day administration and operation of the Successor Agency's duties and functions. Since the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency was originally formed and upon. Successor Agency's effectiveness as of February 1, 2012, the City has provided and shall continue to provide services to the Successor Agency, including but not limited to providing administrative, accounting, auditing, planning, engineering, legal, risk management, financial, clerical, recordkeeping, and other services necessary for the Successor Agency to carry out its responsibilities. K. City and City Successor Agency entered into an Agreement for Reimbursement of Costs and City/Successor Agency Operations Loan on March 20, 2012 (the "Original Agreement"), as amended by the First Amended Agreement on April 17, 2012, the Second Amended Agreement on June 19, 2012, the Third Amended Agreement on August 14, 2012, the Fourth Amended Agreement on February 19, 2013, the Fifth Amended Agreement on September 24, 2013, the Sixth Amended Agreement on February 25, 2014, the Seventh Amended Agreement on September 30, 2014, the Eighth Amended Agreement on February 24, 2015, the Ninth Amended Agreement on September 22, 2015, the Tenth Amended Agreement on January 26, 2016 and the Eleventh Amended Agreement on January 24, 2017 (the Original Agreement and all amendments shall be collectively referred to as the "Agreement") to document an on-going cooperative arrangement regarding administrative and operational services and payment for services whereby City agrees to provide administrative and operational services and City Successor Agency agrees to pay City for the cost of all such services to be provided by City for City Successor Agency pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 34177 0). L*Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 34180(e), the Oversight Board, on May 29, 2012, approved the acceptance of fmancial assistance for the Phase 1 and Phase 2 Tustin Ranch Road Improvements Project conditioned upon the provision of matching funds to the City from the MCAS Tustin 2010 Tax Allocation Bonds by the Successor Agency. In compliance with HSC Section 34180(h), the Oversight Board also authorized the Successor Agency to enter into an amended reimbursement agreement with the City for the Successor Agency's matching contribution to the Tustin Ranch Road Improvements Project in the amounts of $5,983,863 for Phase 1 and $8,164,931 for Phase 2 to be disbursed from MCAS Tustin 2010 Tax Allocation Bonds to the City. M. On December 18, 2012, the Department of Finance issued a determination denying the Successor Agency's use of MCAS Tustin 2010 Tax Allocation Bonds to provide a matching contribution to the Tustin Ranch Road Improvements Project and, consequently, the Agreement has been modified to delete the reference under Section 1.2. Page 2 N. The City Successor Agency will seek Oversight Board authorization on January 23, 2018, to enter into an Amended Agreement for Reimbursement of Costs with the City to reflect modifications to the Administrative Budget. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and conditions herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Modification of Section 2 of the Original Agreement as it relates to the Cost of Administrative Expenses and Administrative Cost Allowances for Fiscal Year 2018-19. (a) Section 2.3 of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced as follows: "Section 2.3 City Successor Agency and City estimate that the cost of administrative and operational services to be provided by the City to the City Successor Agency for the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, is Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). Pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 herein, City Successor Agency agrees to pay the sum of $250,000 to City to pay for the estimated administrative expenses of the City Successor Agency for the period of fiscal year 2018-19, subject to Oversight Board approval and City Successor Agency preparation and approval of an administrative budget estimate for such services and costs for the fiscal period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. The City Successor Agency shall also be liable to the City for payment of any and all direct Project and Program Expenses incurred by City where they are adopted as part of the ROPS." 2.
