ROSEMEAD SUCCESSOR AGENCY
— June through December 2015
The Department of Finance (DOF) requires the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
(ROPS) for the January through December 2015 be submitted by March 3, 2015. The
ROPS document includes a summary page, a cash balance page, a schedule for the current
ROPS period, a reconciliation page of prior ROPS periods, and a notes page. As the Board
may note in Column H of the `Report of Cash Balances" worksheet, the Successor Agency
under spent its allocation in the 2014 -15B period by $46,556 due to a lower than anticipated
transfer to the Housing Corporation, and a reduction in Administrative Cost Allowance
expenditures. This represents the only adjustments for the ROPS.
