COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF LEGISLATIVE REVIEW COMMITTEE ACTION
ON SB 813 (KEHOE) AT ITS MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2009.
DATE: April 9, 2009
CONTENTS: SB 813 Language
RECOMMENDATION:
(�1
By Minute Motion, concur with the action taken by the Legislative Review Committee at its
meeting of March 24, 2009, and direct staff to prepare a letter of opposition for the Mayor's
signature with regard to SB 813 (Kehoe) relative to redevelopment.
BACKGROUND:
Under Community Redevelopment Law, redevelopment agencies are required to submit an
annual audit that requires the agency to inform its legislative body of any major violations of a
Community Redevelopment Law. If passed, SB 813 would require legislative bodies to review
any report submitted and within 30 days from receiving an audit, adopt a written response that
includes what action, if any, the agency intends to take to correct the violation and send a copy
of its written response to the grand jury. Additional review by a grand jury is superfluous and
existing law governing the manner in which redevelopment agencies conduct business is
currently adequate.
Therefore the Legislative Review Committee recommends that the City Council oppose SB 813
and direct staff to prepare a letter stating that position to appropriate legislators and committees
for the Mayor's signature.

SENATE BILL No. 813
INTRODUCED BY Senator Kehoe
FEBRUARY 27, 2009
An act to amend Section 33080.2 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to redevelopment.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 813, as introduced, Kehoe. Local agencies: redevelopment: annual report.
Under the Community Redevelopment Law, a redevelopment agency is required to submit to its
legislative body annually any audit undertaken by another governmental agency, and an annual report,
as specified. Existing law requires the agency to inform the legislative body of any major violations of
the Community Redevelopment Law based on the independent financial report and that the failure to
correct a major violation may result in the filing of an action by the Attorney General. Existing law
requires the legislative body to review any report submitted and take any appropriate action on that
report within the first meeting of the legislative body occurring more than 21 days from the receipt of
the report.
This bill would instead require the legislative body to review any report submitted and, within 30 days
of receiving the audit, adopt a written response that indicates what action, if any, the agency intends to
take to correct the major violation. The bill would require the legislative body to send a copy of its
written response to the grand jury.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State -mandated local program: no.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
