AGENDA BILL Agenda Item No. 5(B) Date: September 25, 2013 To: Oversight Board of the El Cerrito Redevelopment Agency Successor Agency From: Lori Treviño, Finance Manager/Special Projects Subject: Cash Flow Loan Agreement with the City of El Cerrito and Draft Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule 13-14B (January-June 2014) ACTION REQUESTED Adopt Oversight Board resolutions approving: 1) A cash flow loan agreement between the City and Successor Agency; and 2) Submittal of the draft Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule 13-14B covering the period January-June 2014, as previously reviewed and authorized by the governing board of the Successor Agency. BACKGROUND Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules ABx1 26 (“Dissolution Act”) dissolved the El Cerrito Redevelopment Agency (“RDA”) and established the El Cerrito Redevelopment Agency Successor Agency (“Successor Agency”) on February 1, 2012. At that time, the County Auditor-Controller established a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund and the Successor Agency established a Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund (“RORF”). Under the Dissolution Act, the portion of property tax revenues collected from the City of El Cerrito Redevelopment Project Area (“Project Area”) that would have been considered Tax Increment prior to the RDA’s dissolution are deposited into the and are referred to as Redevelopment Property Tax The A-C distributes RPT with the following priority: 1. A-C’s administrative costs 2. Pass-through payments to the taxing entities affected by the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area, calculated the same as prior to RDA dissolution 3. Distribution to the Successor Agency to retire the former RDA’s obligations 4. Repayment of loans from the Housing Fund (starting in FY 2014-15) 5. Distribution of residual funds to the taxing entities The Dissolution Act also provided for creation of this Oversight Board to the Successor Agency (“Oversight Board”), representing the taxing entities, which was formed on April 4, 2012. The Successor Agency must review and authorize submittal of a Recognized Obligation Schedule (“ROPS”) for each six-month period. Each ROPS must then be approved by the Oversight Board and the California Department of Finance (“DOF”) before RPT is disbursed for approved ROPS payments. The Successor Agency must submit ROPS 13-14B approved by the Oversight Board to DOF no later than ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. 5(B) Page 2 October 1, 2013. The governing board of the Successor Agency revised and authorized that submittal at its September 17, 2013 meeting. After submittal, DOF then has 45 days to review the ROPS and approve or disapprove of any items. The Successor Agency can request additional review by DOF and an opportunity to meet and confer on disputed items, and must make that request within five business days of receiving a DOF determination. The DOF is required to notify the Successor Agency and A-C of its final determination of the approved obligations to be funded with RPT at least 15 days prior to the date of distributions from the For ROPS 13-14B, the notification date is December 18, 2013 for the January 2, 2014 disbursement. Cash Flow Loans The State enacted Assembly Bill 1484 (“Trailer Bill”) in June 2012 amended the Dissolution Act, including Health & Safety Code Section 34173 to allow loans by the City to the Successor Agency for administrative costs, enforceable obligations, or project-related expenses as reported on a ROPS and approved by the Oversight Board. The loan agreement for reimbursement of these expenses out of future RPT distributions must also be approved by the Oversight Board. The Oversight Board approved a cash flow loan pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 34173 on ROPS 13-14A to reimburse the City for enforceable obligations it had paid on behalf of the Successor Agency in prior periods. DOF approved the ROPS 13-14A Cash Flow Loan and the Successor Agency received sufficient RPT to pay off the Cash Flow Loan obligation to the City in June. Due Diligence Reviews The Trailer Bill also amended the Dissolution Act to include a requirement that the Successor Agency hire a certified accounting firm to complete a Due Diligence Review reviewing the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, the purpose of which was to identify any funds or assets available for distribution to the taxing entities. The DDR includes separate reviews of both Housing and Non-Housing funds. Initial confusion over the definition of “housing funds” in El Cerrito’s Housing DDR resulted in DOF determining that the Successor Agency was holding unencumbered housing funds. Despite the Successor Agency’s request to amend the Housing DDR prior to receiving a determination letter from DOF, DOF ordered the reported funds to be paid to the A-C to be distributed to the taxing entities. Subsequently, staff was able to resolve this issue with DOF and amend the Housing DDR at the same time the Non- Housing DDR was completed. The Oversight Board reviewed and approved both DDRs. DOF subsequently revised its determination on the Housing DDR and the Successor Agency was not required to remit funds to the A-C for distribution to the taxing entities. However, DOF issued a determination on the Non-Housing DDR that pre-dissolution transactions between the Redevelopment Agency and the El Cerrito Municipal Services Corporation (“MSC”) were not permissible and that therefore the Successor Agency and/or City was required to remit nearly $2 million to the A-C for distribution to the taxing entities. The Successor Agency is in the process of challenging this ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. 5(B) Page 3 determination, along with other issues related to the MSC through litigation to be filed in Sacramento Superior Court. CASH FLOW LOAN AGREEMENT Due to the Successor Agency having insufficient funds for anticipated litigation expenses, which are considered enforceable obligations payable from RPT under the Dissolution Act, the City is utilizing its cash reserves to fund these Successor Agency expenses to the extent needed, anticipating approval of a loan agreement pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 34173 for reimbursement from future RPT distributions. Both the City Council and governing board of the Successor Agency approved a Cash Flow Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) for an amount not to exceed $125,000 at their September 17, 2013 meeting. The Loan Agreement approved by the City and the Successor Agency, contingent on Oversight Board approval, is included as Exhibit A to the attached Oversight Board resolution (Attachment The Loan Agreement’s inclusion on ROPS 13-14B is contingent on its approval by the Oversight Board. However, should the Oversight Board not approve the Loan Agreement, the requested disbursement of RPT for anticipated litigation expenses would remain on ROPS 13-14B for consideration by the Oversight Board and DOF, as they are considered an enforceable obligation of RPT under the Dissolution Act, and the Loan Agreement is also contingent on approval of the litigation expenses as an enforceable obligation by the Oversight Board and DOF. The Loan Agreement is intended to address the cash flow timing issues resulting from expenditure on the obligation prior to disbursement of RPT. ROPS 13-14B The ROPS 13-14B authorized by the Successor Agency is Exhibit A to the attached Oversight Board resolution (Attachment It includes a summary of funds available and total obligations for the period, an itemized listing of obligations, and a reconciliation of ROPS III (January-June 2013) payments. Listed obligations are as follows: • Tax Allocation Bond Debt Service. Payments are due to the trustee Union Bank by June 27, 2014. • SERAF/ERAF Loans. While the Trailer Bill clarified the enforceability of SERAF/ERAF loans, it also delayed their repayment. Due to different interpretation of the relevant section of the Dissolution Act, DOF will not approve payments until ROPS 14-15A, so no payment is requested at this time. The payment will be based on calculations in Health & Safety Code Section 34176, once the amount of residual RPT for the 2013-14 fiscal year, if any, can be determined. • Valente Note. Payment is due in March, 2014. • Eden Housing Loan Agreement. This item was initially a loan commitment to Eden Housing of $350,000, when included on the Redevelopment Agency’s Enforceable Obligation Schedule approved in August 2011. Of the total amount, ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. 5(B) Page 4 $100,000 was for pre-Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) expenses and $250,000 for post-DDA expenses. The Redevelopment Agency funded $40,000 of the pre-DDA obligation prior to dissolution. On ROPS 13-14A, DOF approved an additional $60,000 payment for the balance of the pre-DDA portion of the obligation. • Eden Housing Loan Agreement Post-DDA. Initially DOF disapproved the $250,000 of the obligation that was contingent on negotiation of a DDA with Eden Housing, stating that the Successor Agency did not have the authority to negotiate a DDA. However, the Housing Functions Successor does have the authority to negotiate a DDA with Eden Housing on a property that was listed on the DOF-approved Housing Asset Transfer List and the Successor Agency retained the obligation to fund the loan agreement. DOF stated that the Successor Agency can terminate the agreement due to dissolution, but the Successor Agency is not required to terminate under the Dissolution Act and the DOF cannot require the Successor Agency to do so. Eden Housing and the Housing Functions Successor are in the process of negotiating a DDA, which would trigger the obligation to disburse the remaining portion of the predevelopment loan under the Predevelopment Loan Agreement. • Due Diligence Review/MGO CPAs. The balance remaining on the consulting contract is $12,868 is remaining on ROPS 13-14B, should additional work be required to on the dissolution audits, as the Successor Agency is disputing the DOF’s determinations. • Cooperation Agreement with the El Cerrito Municipal Services Corporation. While DOF has repeatedly disapproved this item, the Successor Agency intends to continue pursuing funding of this item with RPT on ROPS 13-14B, as the enforceability of the Agreement is the subject of current litigation. • FY13-14 Administrative Allowance. The entire administrative allowance for the 2013-14 fiscal year was included on ROPS 13-14A and therefore no payment is requested on the current ROPS. • Legal Expenses/Cash Flow Loan. Per discussions with DOF legal counsel and the treatment of the Successor Agency’s previous litigation expenses, the cost of litigation is an enforceable obligation of RPT. To the extent necessary, the City of El Cerrito is advancing to the Successor Agency its litigation costs anticipating reimbursement from on ROPS 13-14B. The estimated legal expenses are $125,000. Inclusion of Loan Agreement on the ROPS 13-14B submitted to DOF is contingent on its approval by the Oversight Board. However, the Successor Agency would still list the estimated legal expenses for Oversight Board and DOF consideration. The expenses and loan to fund them are listed as one item so as not to double count. The total amount of funding required for ROPS 13-14B is estimated to be $3,000,788. However, the amount of expected to be distributed is estimated by the A-C to be $2,159,982. This is based on assessed value estimates received from the ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. 5(8) A-C, which are including in the following table, which summarizes distributions and payments for FY2011-12 and FY2013-14.
