CONTENTS: Resolution No. OB - 066
Reimbursement Agreement (C 33330 )
Resolution No. 20 4-09/ Resolution No. SARDA 924
Recommendation
1. That the Oversight Board waive further reading and adopt Resolution No.
OB - 066 approving the Alessandro Alley Project Bond Proceeds
Funding Agreement between the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency and the City of Palm Desert and taking certain
related action.
2. Estimated use of $250,000.00 from Project Area 1 Bond Funds;
Background
The Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency)
controls nine properties along Alessandro Alley acquired by the former Redevelopment
Agency. Prior to the dissolution of the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency, staff began the
design of the Alessandro Alley Improvement Project. The project proposes to widen and
improve Alessandro Alley, the addition of public parking spaces with landscaping and
lighting improvements from Las Palmas Avenue on the east to approximately 300 feet east
of Monterey Avenue on the west. The project would widen the alley by 27.0 feet to a total
width of 47.0 feet, and would provide public parking at a 90-degree angle on the north side
of Alessandro Alley, perpendicular to a new six foot block wall barrier adjoining residential
parcels.
Discussion
With the approval of the Successor Agency's Finding of Completion in 2013 by the State
Department of Finance, the Successor Agency can now utilize Project Area 1 Bond
Proceeds for the purposes for which the bond funds were sold, in a manner consistent with
the original bond covenants. One of those purposes was to complete the design and

implement the Alessandro Alley Project improvements. Prior to expending any funds
associated with the project design, property acquisitions and construction the attached
reimbursement agreement between the Successor Agency and the City of Palm Desert
requires approval. The attached resolutions and reimbursement agreement will allow the
City to expend funds to implement the project and if approved by the Oversight Board and
DOF expenditures can be reimbursed by Successor Agency Project Area 1 Bond Proceeds.
On August 22, 2013, the Successor Agency/City held a Study Session to discuss the
prioritization and funding availability of former Redevelopment Agency bond funded
projects. Alessandro Alley was identified as one of the projects eligible under Project Area
1 bond funds and $2,100,000 was programmed for this project. The $2,100,000 budgeted
is sufficient to implement a slightly scaled down project design.
On February 13, 2014, the Successor Agency and City Council reviewed and approved
resolutions approving the attached reimbursement agreement. Staff recommends approval
to the Oversight Board of the attached reimbursement agreement. If approved by the
Oversight Board, the documents will be sent to the State Department of Finance for final
approval.
Fiscal Analysis
Funds are currently budgeted in Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Fund 400-4341-433-4001.
Although the General Fund would initially advance the funds for this work, it is the intention
of the Successor Agency to reimburse the City for the costs from bond proceeds which
include the Alessandro Alley Project improvements in the bond covenant.

B. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2006 (the "Loan
Agreement"), by and among the Financing Authority, the former Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency (the "Former RDA"), and the Trustee, proceeds of the PA1

C. The Former RDA caused a portion of the proceeds of the PA1 2006A
Bonds received as part of the Loan to be deposited into a Project Fund (the "PA1 2006A
Project Fund"), which was established, and is held, by the Trustee pursuant to the Loan
Agreement.
D. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, moneys in the PA1 2006A Project Fund
shall be disbursed from time to time to finance the cost of redevelopment projects in or
of benefit to the Former Agency's Project Area No. 1, As Amended (the "Project Area").
E. As documented by the Official Statement, dated June 22, 2006, and the
Certificate Regarding Compliance with Certain Tax Matters, dated as of July 6, 2006
(the "Tax Certificate"), it was intended, at the issuance of the PA1 2006A Bonds, that
the projects to be financed from moneys deposited in the PA1 2006A Project Fund

and property acquisitions related to the widening of the Alessandro Alley by 27.0 feet to
a total width of 47.0 feet, public parking spaces, landscaping, lighting, and block walls
from Las Palmas Avenue on the east to approximately 300 feet east of Monterey

G. AB 1484, which became effective at the end of June 2012, amended and
supplemented the provisions of AB X1 26. Together, AB X1 26 and AB 1484 are
referred to in this Agreement as the "Dissolution Act."
H. Pursuant to Section 34175(b) of the California Health and Safety Code
("HSC"), all assets, properties, contracts, leases, books and records, buildings, and
equipment of the Former RDA, including all unspent proceeds of the PA1 2006A Bonds
remaining in the PA1 2006A Project Fund (the "PA1 2006A Bond Proceeds"),
transferred to the control of the Successor Agency by operation of law.
I. According to HSC Section 34191.4, after the receipt by the Successor
Agency of a finding of completion (the "Finding of Completion") issued by the California
State Department of Finance (the "DOF") pursuant to HSC Section 34179.7, the PA1
2006A Bond Proceeds shall be used for the purposes for which the PA1 2006A Bonds
were sold, in a manner consistent with the original bond covenants.

Agency that the DOF has issued a Finding of Completion to the Successor Agency.
K. There remains a balance of PA1 2006A Bond Proceeds in the PA1 2006A
Project Fund (in the amount of $15,630,738 as of December 31, 2013).
L. The Successor Agency desires to use a portion of the PA1 2006A Bond
Proceeds for completion of work with respect to the Project.
M. Because of the limited staffing of the Successor Agency and the traditional
role and the established procedures of the City of Palm Desert (the "City") with respect
to the awarding of public works contracts, the Successor Agency and the City desire to
enter into the Alessandro Alley Project Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement, pursuant to
which the City will agree to perform or cause to be performed all work required to
complete the Project, with payment therefor to be made from the PA1 2006A Bond
Proceeds.
P. Pursuant to HSC Sections 34178(a) and 34180(h), with the approval of
the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency (the "Oversight Board"), the Successor
Agency may enter into agreements with the City.
