Chapter 2. Redevelopment Agency Responsibilities of California Health And Safety Code >> Division 24. >> Part 1.8. >> Chapter 2.
Until successor agencies are authorized pursuant to Part
1.85 (commencing with Section 34170), redevelopment agencies shall do
all of the following:
(a) Continue to make all scheduled payments for enforceable
obligations, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 34167.
(b) Perform obligations required pursuant to any enforceable
obligations, including, but not limited to, observing covenants for
continuing disclosure obligations and those aimed at preserving the
tax-exempt status of interest payable on any outstanding agency
bonds.
(c) Set aside or maintain reserves in the amount required by
indentures, trust indentures, or similar documents governing the
issuance of outstanding redevelopment agency bonds.
(d) Consistent with the intent declared in subdivision (a) of
Section 34167, preserve all assets, minimize all liabilities, and
preserve all records of the redevelopment agency.
(e) Cooperate with the successor agencies, if established pursuant
to Part 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170), and provide all
records and information necessary or desirable for audits, making of
payments required by enforceable obligations, and performance of
enforceable obligations by the successor agencies.
(f) Take all reasonable measures to avoid triggering an event of
default under any enforceable obligations as defined in subdivision
(d) of Section 34167.
(g) (1) Within 60 days of the effective date of this part, adopt
an Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule that lists all of the
obligations that are enforceable within the meaning of subdivision
(d) of Section 34167 which includes the following information about
each obligation:
(A) The project name associated with the obligation.
(B) The payee.
(C) A short description of the nature of the work, product,
service, facility, or other thing of value for which payment is to be
made.
(D) The amount of payments obligated to be made, by month, through
December 2011.
(2) Payment schedules for issued bonds may be aggregated, and
payment schedules for payments to employees may be aggregated. This
schedule shall be adopted at a public meeting and shall be posted on
the agency's Internet Web site or, if no Internet Web site exists, on
the Internet Web site of the legislative body, if that body has an
Internet Web site. The schedule may be amended at any public meeting
of the agency. Amendments shall be posted to the Internet Web site
for at least three business days before a payment may be made
pursuant to an amendment. The Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule
shall be transmitted by mail or electronic means to the county
auditor-controller, the Controller, and the Department of Finance. A
notification providing the Internet Web site location of the posted
schedule and notifications of any amendments shall suffice to meet
this requirement.
(h) Prepare a preliminary draft of the initial recognized
obligation payment schedule, no later than September 30, 2011, and
provide it to the successor agency, if a successor agency is
established pursuant to Part 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170).
(i) The Department of Finance may review a redevelopment agency
action taken pursuant to subdivision (g) or (h). As such, all agency
actions shall not be effective for three business days, pending a
request for review by the department. Each agency shall designate an
official to whom the department may make these requests and who shall
provide the department with the telephone number and e-mail contact
information for the purpose of communicating with the department
pursuant to this subdivision. In the event that the department
requests a review of a given agency action, the department shall have
10 days from the date of its request to approve the agency action or
return it to the agency for reconsideration and this action shall
not be effective until approved by the department. In the event that
the department returns the agency action to the agency for
reconsideration, the agency must resubmit the modified action for
department approval and the modified action shall not become
effective until approved by the department. This subdivision shall
apply to a successor agency, if a successor agency is established
pursuant to Part 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170), as a successor
entity to a dissolved redevelopment agency, with respect to the
preliminary draft of the initial recognized obligation payment
schedule.
