PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE The Oversight Board will receive public comments on matters not listed on the agenda. 2. MATTERS FROM STAFF OF THE ROSEMEAD SUCCESSOR AGENCY A. Update Regarding the ROPS Submittal As the Board will recall, action was taken on April 25, 2012 to approve the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the periods of January — June 2012 and July — December 2012. On April 26, 2012 these documents were submitted to the various County and State agencies as required by the Health and Safety Code. Per the Code, if the Department of Finance takes no action, the ROPS is considered to be approved after the third working day following the submittal; however, if the Department has questions, that deadline is automatically extended by an additional ten working days. As expected, the Department asked for an extension to request additional information, and we are currently in the additional ten day review period. As of May 8, 2012, the Department has requested copies of the Chamber of Commerce agreement, the 2006A, 2006B and 2010A Bond documents, and various Capital Improvement Projects. These documents were provided to the Department and no additional correspondence has been received. The ten day extension will expire on May 15, 2012. Due to the timing issues of preparing the agenda in advance, staff will present any additional information provided by the Department or requested by the Department to the Oversight Board at the meeting. In addition to the review by the Department of Finance, the Agreed Upon Procedures review has also taken place by the County's auditors over the past two weeks. Staff has met with the auditors and reviewed a preliminary draft; however, a final version has not been presented to the Successor Agency. The County has imposed a requirement that they must review and be present for the final exit meeting with the Successor Agency prior to the report being issued. Due to the large workload of the County's staff, this meeting has not been scheduled as of May 8th. Staff can share with the Board that based upon the draft document, the only item being recommended to be disallowed by the review is the contract with the Page 2 of 3 ROSEMEAD OVERSIGHT BOARD MEETING AGENDA May 16, 2012 Chamber of Commerce as the original agreement was made with the City and not with the former Community Development Commission. The Successor Agency staff will not try to petition further for this contract as we have not made the monthly payments since January and have since terminated the Chamber of Commerce agreement as allowed in the contract language. In the event that no additional information is provided or requested by the Department of Finance; staff may notify the Oversight Board before the meeting that there are no items for the agenda and the meeting may be cancelled. Recommendation: That the Oversight Board receive and file this report and provide additional direction as necessary based upon the review by the Department of Finance. 3. ADJOURNMENT The next regular Rosemead Oversight Board meeting is scheduled to take place on June 20, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. Page 3 of 3
