REQUEST FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS, PROVIDING FOR THE TRANSFER OF ASSETS IDENTIFIED IN THE HOUSING ASSETS LIST TO THE PALM DESERT HOUSING AUTHORITY FROM THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, AS DIRECTED BY THE OVERSIGHT BOARD OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY (JOINT CONSIDERATION WITH THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY). Ms. Moore stated that in February 2012, the Board adopted resolutions to transfer the Housing assets to the Housing Authority, but there was no process to effectuate; however, Assembly Bill 1484 created a process for that transaction. Staff provided a list of assets owned by the Housing Authority or the Housing Division, which was then transmitted to the State. The State did not object to anything on the list; therefore, the action before the Board is to take care of those transfers. Some transfer are real property and will take a little longer to effectuate, but staff anticipates that once all the documentation is gathered it can transmit those transfers. Director/Member Finerty moved to: 1) Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. SA -RDA 012, providing for the transfer of assets identified in the Housing Assets List to the Palm Desert Housing Authority ("Authority") from the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency ("Successor Agency"), together with related responsibilities, powers, duties, and obligations associated with the housing activities of the former Redevelopment Agency, as directed by the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency ("Oversight Board"); 2) By Minute Motion, authorize the Executive Director to effectuate the transfer of assets; 3) Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. HA - 47, providing for the acceptance of the transfer of assets described above in Recommendation No. 1 by the Successor Agency; 4) By Minute Motion, authorize the Executive Director to take any steps necessary in order to accept the transfer of assets.
