BROWN JR. • GOVERNOR 91 5 L STREET ■ SACRAMENTO CA ■ 9581 4.3705 • WWW.00F.OA.00V Subject: Long -Range Property Management Plan Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 34191.5 (b), the Palm Desert Successor Agency (Agency) submitted a Long -Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) to the California Department of Finance (Finance) on June 27, 2013. The Agency subsequently submitted two revised LRPMPs to Finance on February 27, 2014 and May 7, 2014, respectively. Finance has completed its review of the LRPMP, which may have included obtaining clarification for various items. The Agency received a Finding of Completion on May 16, 2013. Further, based on our review and application of the law, we are approving the Agency's use or disposition of all the properties listed on the LRPMP. Our approval of the LRPMP also took into account the corresponding Resolution No. 2014-39, which specified the City of Palm Desert's intent and commitment to utilize the Joslyn Senior Center Expansion parcels, Property Nos. 2(a) and 2(b) on the LRPMP, for government purpose to facilitate the future expansion of the Joslyn Senior Center. Additionally, the following issue was noted during our review, but does not require a revised plan to be submitted: • Property No. 13 — The Agency desires to transfer this property to the Palm Desert Housing Authority (Authority) to develop an affordable housing complex. This property was listed on a Housing Assets Transfer Form submitted to Finance on July 31, 2012 and was approved as a housing asset in our letter dated August 31, 2012. Therefore, it was not necessary to list it in the LRPMP. In accordance with HSC section 34191.4, upon receiving a Finding of Completion from Finance and approval of a LRPMP, all real property and interests in real property shall be transferred to the Community Redevelopment Property Trust Fund of the Agency; unless that property is subject to the requirements of an existing enforceable obligation. Pursuant to HSC section 34191.3 the approved LRPMP shall govern, and supersede all other provisions relating to, the disposition and use of all the real property assets of the former redevelopment agency. Ms. Veronica Tapia June 2, 2014 Page 2 Agency actions taken pursuant to a Finance approved LRPMP which require the Agency to enter into a new agreement are subject to oversight board (OB) approval per HSC section 34181 (f).
