MATTERS FROM STAFF OF THE ROSEMEAD SUCCESSOR AGENCY A. Capital Improvement Projects Funded by Existing Bond Proceeds The Successor Agency received its Finding of Completion (FOC) on April 18, 2013. The FOC permits the Success Agency to utilize proceeds derived from bonds issued prior to January 1, 2011 in a manner consistent with the original bond covenants per Health and Safety Code section 34191.4(c). The former Rosemead Community Development Commission issued tax increment bonds in July 2010 in order to the fund several critical capital improvement projects in the City. Some projects were completed prior to the dissolution of redevelopment; however, approximately $7.0 million of bond proceeds are still being held by the Successor Agency for the remaining projects. These projects include: 1. Rosemead Community Center and Public Plaza Expansion and Construction 2. Zapopan Park Improvements 3. Rosemead Park Improvements (Fitness and playground equipment) 4. Sewer System Expansion 5. Valley Blvd. Street Improvements 6. Rosemead Park Turf Improvements 7. Park Development at Rush & Walnut Grove Page 2 of 3 ROSEMEAD OVERSIGHT BOARD MEETING AGENDA Mav 11, 2013 Over the past two years while the Successor Agency worked through all the objectives to obtain the FOC, costs have increased and the economy has changed and the completion of all the projects may no longer be obtainable, but the City is prepared to move forward with the most critical projects as soon as possible. In order to move forward, the Successor Agency must comply with Health and Safety Code section 34191.4(c), which is included as Attachment B. Per this section of the code, the projects must be listed on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS), which the Successor Agency has done since the first ROPS was submitted to the Department of Finance. These projects have remained on the ROPS and have been included and approved on every subsequent ROPS. Staff is seeking direction from the Oversight Board to confirm the inclusion of the capital improvement projects on the ROPS and authorize the staff to move forward with the projects in a manner consistent with the City's municipal code. Recommendation: That the Oversight Board approve Resolution 2013 -0003, entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD FOR THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RE- AFFIRMING THE APPROVAL OF THE BOND PROCEEDS FUNDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AS PREVIOUSLY INCLUDED IN THE RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULES 4. ADJOURNMENT The next regular Rosemead Oversight Board meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday, June 10, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. Page 3 of 3
