HNS Adoption of ttie Enforceable Obligation Payment Sctiedule for ttie Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency CITY MGR. RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE retroactive to January 1, 2012, Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No. 520 ADOPTING the Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule for the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency and authorizing submission ofthe noted Schedule to the appropriate County and State Agencies. ITEM EXPLANATION: On June 29, 2011, the Governor signed ABX1 26 to dissolve all redevelopment agencies within the State of California. He also signed ABX1 27 which provided for a voluntary redevelopment program which requires a payment in order to continue redevelopment activities of existing agencies. The legislation was legally challenged by the California Redevelopment Association and the League of California Cities. On August 11, 2011, the California Supreme Court agreed to hear the case' California Redevelopment Assoc. v. Matosantos. and agreed to an expedited process. On December 29, 2011, the Supreme Court delivered its decision, and found ABX1 26 to be constitutional and ABX1 27 to be unconstitutional. This means that ail redevelopment agencies will be dissolved as of February 1, 2012, unless legal action or legislation is successful to delay the effectiveness date ofthe legislation. There is no opportunity for redevelopment agencies to voluntarily remain active with payment to the State, as originally approved under ABX1 27. One of the obligations of the dissolution act was to adopt an Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule (EOPS) by August 29, 2011. For the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency, the Executive Director adopted the required EOPS by August 29"" in order to meet the required timeline and submitted it to the required County and State Agencies. The EOPS was then adopted by the Agency Board, which is the Carlsbad Housing and Redevelopment Commission in early September, 2011. The State is requiring that a new EOPS be adopted every six months to set forth the payment schedule during that period. It is expected that the County will provide adequate tax increment revenues to cover the payments noted on the six month payment schedule. This is the last EOPS to be submitted by the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency. The remaining schedules will be submitted by the Successor Agency, which will be the City of Carlsbad as of February 1, 2012, unless there is a delay in the effectiveness ofthe legislation implemented before the end of January, 2012.

COMMISSION ACTION: APPROVED CONTINUED TO DATE SPECIFIC • DENIED • CONTINUED TO DATE UNKNOWN • CONTINUED • RETURNED TO STAFF • WITHDRAWN • OTHER-SEE MINUTES • AMENDED • Page 2 The EOPS includes all of the debts and obligations that were set forth in the Cooperation and Repayment Agreements and related repayment schedules approved by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission, serving as the Agency Board, for the Village Area (7/7/09) and South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Area (2/8/11). The State, however, is requiring additional detail that was not noted in those original schedules, such as payee information, a brief payment description and payments by month for a six month period. The attached report has been developed in a form that staff believes is acceptable to the State. According to the new law, no payments can be made by the Redevelopment Agency and subsequently the Successor Agency unless the debt or obligation is noted on the required EOPS. Therefore, to ensure that the Agency will not default on any of its contracts, debt and/or other obligations, all current and future debts and obligations ofthe Agency are set forth and detailed within the EOPS and related 6 month schedule, and submitted at this time for Commission approval. FISCAL IMPACT: The debt ofthe Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency, both current and future per approved contracts, is substantial and detailed in the attached EOPS report (Exhibit 2). With the assumption that the Redevelopment Agency would continue operations well into the future, there were numerous projects and programs initiated over the past several years intended to eliminate blight or blighting conditions within both the Village and South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Areas. There are also numerous projects and programs that the Agency has contracted with the City to implement or complete on behalf of the Agency in future years which are critical to the successful accomplishment of the goals and objectives set forth in the respective redevelopment plans. The contractual obligations to implement future projects and programs within the noted redevelopment areas are significant and important from both an economic development and physical enhancement (blight elimination) perspective, and for the provision of affordable housing within the community. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: For the purposes of environmental review, the proposed financial report represents an organizational or administrative activity of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Therefore, the action is not a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA 15378(b)(5)). All future projects listed within the financial report will require separate environmental review and approval, and will not be approved for implementation until environmental review has been completed and mitigation measures have been adopted, as appropriate.
