Mayor Taylor questioned Mr. Dilkes regarding the Agreement for Cooperation between the City of Rosemead and the Redevelop- ment Agency on Exhibit C, Page 2, Section 5. where it states: "Both parties agree not to undertake any improvements necessi- tating expenditure of such funds until it is assured that tax allocation revenues are no longer necessary to retire prior authorized indebtedness of-the Agency". The Mayor inquired as to where we stand at this time on our Tax Allocation. Ed Dilkes, City Attorney, stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Beebe's office this afternoon, and the account- ants have indicated that there is on deposit sufficient funds to defease the bonds.Under one of the bond convenants the fiscal agent, that is the Bank of America, was under an authorization to begin redeeming some of the bonds when funds are available. Funds have been available for a considerable period of time. Mr. Dilkes stated that the precise amount of money that is on deposit now is not known by him, but the auditor's have ar- rived at a figure but it had not been communicated to him, and it appears there is sufficient money on deposit with the fiscal agent now.that the bonds may be effectively defeased. If that is the case then these tax allocations funds may not be neces- sary, but on the otherhand there is some necessity in keeping some money with the fiscal then these tax allocation revenues will remain necessary and could not be utilized. CM 2-13-79 Page #3 Mayor Taylor requested that the letter that was received from Mr. Beebe be supplied to the Council and the Agency and also verify the dollar amounts,if they are enough to defease the bonds. Mr. Dilkes stated that the dollar amounts is something that the he and the City Manager have been trying to find out for approximately two months. The auditors have one figure and the fiscal agent another. This question will be directed to the auditors, and he assumed that this precise information will be forthcoming. . Mayor Taylor stated that he had received information that the bonds are not defeased.
