4. MATTERS FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & STAFF
A. Redevelopment Update Regarding the California Supreme Court Decision to Abolish
Redevelopment
With the adoption of the State Budget for the current 2011 -12 fiscal year, State lawmakers
enacted AB1 x26 and AB1 x27 as a'means to divert local redevelopment tax revenues to
resolve the State's ongoing deficit. As the Council is aware, the California Redevelopment
Association, with the support of the League of California Cities, filed a lawsuit which sought
to have AB1 x26 and AB1 x27 overturned to reinstate redevelopment agencies and disallow
payments from cities required by the State. On December 29, 2011, the State Supreme
Court upheld AB1 x26 which dissolved all redevelopment agencies and ruled that AB1 x27
was unconstitutional. AB1x27 would have allowed redevelopment agencies to remain active
if certain financial payments were made to the State. As a result of the Supreme Court's
ruling, the Rosemead Community, Development Commission will be dissolved and current
activities are required to be wound down.
The fiscal impact of the dissolution of the Community Development Commission will be
severe to the City of Rosemead due to the loss of funds for both economic development and
affordable housing. The Commission received approximately $7 million dollars in tax
increment funds annually. From these funds, approximately 25% or $1.72 million were
returned to various taxing agencies as "pass- through" payments and 35% or $2.45 million
was used for debt service payments. Of the remaining $2.83 million, $1.4 million was
allocated to the Low /Moderate Income Housing fund and $1.43 million was allocated for local
redevelopment and economic development activities. Effective February 1, 2012 the
Commission must immediately cease all expenditures related to the remaining $2.83 million
unless they have been specifically, approved by an Oversight Committee which has until May
2012 to be established. Therefore, all salaries, benefits and operational costs currently
funded by redevelopment revenues must be absorbed by the City's General Fund until
reductions in costs can be made.
Recommendation: That the Community Development Commission approve Resolution No.

G. Request from San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments ( SGVCOG) for Continued
Participating in the LA Permit Group.for the National Pollutant discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit
The LA Permit Group is a multi - jurisdictional effort to renew the storm water runoff Multiple
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality
Control Board (LARWQCB). Each participating City will contribute $5,000, to the SGVCOG
to fund a technical consultant to assist the LA Permit Group cities throughout permit renewal
negotiations with the LARWQCB. Funds for this purpose have been allocated in the current
2011 -12 Fiscal Year Budget. If the City Council opts not to participate with the other cities in
the LA Permit Group, the costs for technical assistance in the negotiations with the
LARWQCB and the implementation of an individual MS4 Permit will greatly exceed $5,000,
including substantial staff and technical assistance resources.
Similar cooperative arrangements have been beneficial to municipalities in working with the
terms of storm water permits in the past. In September, 2010, Rosemead joined with other
member cities of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments to collectively complete a study
for the Los Angeles River and Tributaries Metals TMDL. The critical study, which cost more
than $2 million, cost the City of Rosemead just over $25,000 when costs were split amongst
the participants.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize payment of $5,000 to the SGVCOG to
participate in the LA Permit Group.for renewal of the MS4 Permit from the LARWQCB.
