VII. CONSENT ITEMS HELD OVER None 2 MINUTES SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING VIII. RESOLUTIONS JANUARY 28, 2016 A. RESOLUTION NO. SA -RDA 053 - A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, APPROVING PROPOSED ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGETS FOR THE SIX-MONTH FISCAL PERIODS FROM JULY 1, 2016, THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2016, AND FROM JANUARY 1, 2017, THROUGH JUNE 30, 2017, AND TAKING CERTAIN RELATED ACTIONS. Management Analyst Veronica Tapia stated that in September of last year, the legislature approved SB 107, which changed the ROPS reporting periods from six-month to annual. Therefore, this was the first annual submission. However, the bill neglected to change the Administrative Budget so it will still be done in six-month periods, which is why there are two. During both, staff exercised its option to request the maximum 3% amount, which is reflected in the reports, and then it's distributed based on estimates from the prior period. She noted this item was unanimously approved by the Oversight Board. Director Tanner moved to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. SA -RDA 053. Motion was seconded by Weber and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Harnik, Jonathan, Tanner, Weber, and Spiegel; NOES: None). B. RESOLUTION NO. SA -RDA 054 - A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, APPROVING A RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR THE FISCAL PERIOD FROM JULY 1, 2016, THROUGH JUNE 30, 2017, PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 34177, AND TAKING CERTAIN RELATED ACTIONS ("ROPS 16-17"). Management Analyst Veronica Tapia stated the Agency is required to provide a ROPS for one year; the periods were split in half, and each one is about the same. She said ROPS represent the enforceable obligations that the Successor Agency continues to pay through the dissolution of Redevelopment. She said there was nothing special to note with the exception of the Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement that was approved earlier, and those funds are being requested on this first reporting period of the ROPS. Director Tanner moved to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. SA -RDA 054. Motion was seconded by Jonathan and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Hamik, Jonathan, Tanner, Weber, and Spiegel; NOES: None). 3 MINUTES SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING IX. NEW BUSINESS JANUARY 28, 2016 A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE EXECUTION OF A SUPPLEMENTAL NON -HOUSING BOND PROCEEDS FUNDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY AND THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, AND TAKING CERTAIN RELATED ACTIONS (CONTRACT NO. SA34190A) (JOINT CONSIDERATION WITH THE PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL). Management Analyst Veronica Tapia stated this item was a request to approve the Agreement for additional funds that have been identified for bond projects. She recalled for the Council that last year they approved the BPFA (Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement) to transfer all funds to the City to cover projects identified on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules (ROPS). Once the transfers were made, staff realized there was an additional $3 million available in cash that could only be used for bond projects, because they were either loans or reimbursement of previous bond projects. Therefore, staff looked at the projects that were identified and distributed the funds to projects that needed additional funding. The proposed Agreement will allow for the transfer of the cash to the City, so that those projects can be completed on behalf of the Successor Agency. She noted this item was unanimously approved by the Oversight Board. She also pointed out that on page 2 of the staff report, there is a notation about seeing Exhibit B, however, there isn't one. Councilman/Director Tanner moved to waive further reading and adopt Resolution Nos. 2016 -16 and SA -RDA 052, approving the execution of a Supplemental Non -Housing Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement between the Successor Agency and the City, and taking certain related actions. Motion was seconded by Weber and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Harnik, Jonathan, Tanner, Weber, and Spiegel; NOES: None). X. CONTINUED BUSINESS None XI. OLD BUSINESS None XII.
