SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT
SCHEDULE (ROPS 15-16B) FOR THE PERIOD FROM
JANUARY 1, 2016 TO JUNE 30, 2016
SUMMARY
With the dissolution of local redevelopment agencies, the current state law requires the City Council acting as
the governing body of the Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission ("CDC") with
respect to redevelopment agency matters to adopt a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) every six
months. Attached is the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS 15-16B) for the period from January
1, 2016 through June 30, 2016 for the Successor Agency's Board approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
Under AB 26 and AB 1484, the City Council, as the successor agency, may only pay the enforceable obligations
of the former Commission listed on the ROPS. The successor agency is prohibited by AB 26 and AB 1484
from entering into new obligations, except as necessary for administration of the successor agency and the
winding up of the Commission's business. The intent of the ROPS is to identify all enforceable obligations of
the former Commission payable before June 30, 2016.
Nothing in the redevelopment dissolution legislation provides for the assumption of the Commission's
obligations by the City. The liability of the successor agency for the CDC's obligations is limited to assets
transferred to the City, as successor agency, from the Commission by operation of law.
The successor agency is to receive up to $250,000 for administrative costs per year from the Redevelopment
Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) distributed by the County of Los Angeles per AB 26. However, at this time,
it unknown how much RPTTF the successor agency will receive during the fiscal year 2015-16.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council, as governing body of the Successor Agency:
1. Adopt the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) 15-16B for the period of January 1, 2016
through June 30, 2016; and,
2. Direct staff to proceed with submitting the draft ROPS 15-16B for approval to the Oversight Board; and,
3. Send the approved ROPS to the County Executive Officer, County Auditor Controller, the State Controller
and Department of Finance; and,
4. Instruct staff to post the approved ROPS 15-16B on the City's website.
Approval of ROPS 15-16B

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Assembly Bill X1 26 ("AB 26") was drafted with recognition that redevelopment agencies had a variety of debts
and obligations that still must be met in order to avoid causing harm to the persons to whom those debts and
obligations are owed. Successor agencies are supposed to receive tax revenues from the county auditors in
order to ensure those obligations, referred to in AB 26 as "enforceable obligations," will be met. In order to
enable the County of Los Angeles to determine how much tax revenue a successor agency needs to meet its
enforceable obligations; AB 26 requires the preparation of a series of schedules of enforceable obligations.
The first two schedules, the Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule ("EOPS") and the Preliminary Draft
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("PDROPS") were approved by the Community Development
Commission (Commission) prior to its dissolution. Those schedules formed the basis for the preparation of the
first schedule previously approved by the City Council, as the governing body of the successor agency
(Successor Agency), the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS").
A ROPS must be prepared and presented to the City Council as the governing body of the successor agency for
approval for each six-month period, from January 1 through June 30 and from July 1 through December 31,
until all of the Commission's enforceable obligations have been paid in full. The approved ROPS is then
submitted to the Oversight Board for approval. Following Oversight Board approval, the ROPS is sent to the
Department of Finance and other agencies. On June 27, 2012, AB 1484 was enacted providing technical
amendments, new rules and new deadlines for the redevelopment dissolution process.
For the current ROPS, the Successor Agency must submit an Oversight Board approved ROPS 15-16B for the
period of January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016, to the DOF no later than October 5, 2015. If the ROPS is not
submitted on time, there will be a civil penalty of $10,000 per day for every day that the ROPS is not submitted
to the DOF. The penalty is to be paid to the County Auditor -Controller for distribution to the taxing entities.
The Successor Agency must notify the County Executive Officer, the County Auditor Controller, and DOF, at
the same time the Successor Agency submits a proposed action to the Oversight Board for approval. Also, all
actions taken by the Oversight Board must be adopted by resolution. In addition, DOF has changed the format
for the ROPS. Some of the requirements on the new ROPS format include:
• Agencies report actual amounts paid from tax increment from the previous six-month period.
• Enforceable obligations listed on one form regardless of funding source. No longer required to report
monthly enforceable obligation estimates. Only six-month estimates are required.
• Agencies are required to report fund balances for different fund sources. The report of available fund
balance information covers two ROPS period.
• Beginning with ROPS 13-14B, agencies must use the Redevelopment Agency Dissolution Web
Application (RAD App) for ROPS submission. Email submission will no longer be accepted.
The Successor Agency has complied with the requirements to prepare and approve a ROPS, submit it to the
Oversight Board for approval and submit it to DOF, the State Controller's Office and the County Executive
Officer and Auditor -Controller for all periods through the July through December 2015 six-month period.
The Successor Agency now has before it the ROPS 15-16B for the period of January 1, 2016 through June 30,
2016 for its consideration. (The Department of Finance has established the naming convention for the ROPS,
using the fiscal year and a letter indicating whether the ROPS is for the first or second six-month period within
the fiscal year.) If approved, the ROPS 15-16B will be submitted to the Oversight Board for review at a special
meeting scheduled for Tuesday September 29, 2014 and at the same time to the County Executive Officer, the
County Auditor Controller, and the DOF.

If approved by the Oversight Board, the approved ROPS must then be provided to the Los Angeles County
Auditor, the State Controller and the Department of Finance and posted on the Successor Agency's website.
LEGAL REVIEW
No legal review required
AL"I"I+,R ATj "E, S
State Law requires the City Council acting as Board Members of the Successor Agency to the Dissolved
Community Development Commission to adopt a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) in order
for the City to pay the for Community Development Commission's obligations, which include debt, loans and
administrative costs. If the ROPS are not approved, submitted to the Oversight Board and then submitted to the
State Department of Finance by October 5, 2015 there is civil penalty of $10,000 a day until it is submitted. In
addition, the Successor Agency would be unable to pay debt service and other obligations. This would cause
former RDA bonds to go into default.
