RESOLUTION NO. 12 -7382
PAGE 2
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 26 from the 2011 -12 First Extraordinary Session of the
California Legislature ( "ABX1 26 ") was signed by the Governor of California on June 28, 2011,
making certain changes to the CRL and adding Parts 1.8 and 1.85 to Division 24 of the
California Health and Safety Code; and,
WHEREAS, ABX1 26 states, in part, that "[t]he Legislature hereby finds that a transfer of
assets by a redevelopment agency [after January 1, 2011] is deemed not to be in the
furtherance of the [CRL] and is thereby unauthorized "; and,
WHEREAS, ABX1 26 further states, in part, that "[c]ommencing [February 1, 2012], ...
arrangements between the city ... that created the redevelopment agency and the
redevelopment agency are invalid... "; and,
WHEREAS, ABX1 26 further states, in part, that "[a]ll ... properties [and] buildings ... of
the former redevelopment agency are transferred on [February 1, 2012], to the control of the
successor agency "; and,
WHEREAS, on or about April 20, 2012, the California State Controller issued letter
stating, in part, "[i]f your city ... received any assets from a redevelopment agency after January
1, 2011, your city ... hereby is ordered to ... reverse the transfer and return the applicable
assets to the successor agency of the relevant redevelopment agency "; and,
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 1484 from the 2011 -12 Legislative Session ( 1484") was
signed by the Governor of California on June 27, 2012, making changes to ABX1 26 and certain
additional changes to the CRL, and establishing that the successor agency to the Agency
( "Successor Agency ") is a separate public agency from the City that activated the former
Agency; and,
WHEREAS, AB 1484, at Health and Safety Code Section 34179.5(c)(2), categorizes
certain assets as those "transferred after January 1, 2011 ... by the redevelopment agency ... to
the city ... that formed the redevelopment agency..." ( "Section 34179.5(c)(2) Assets "); and,
WHEREAS, AB 1484, at Health and Safety Code Section 34179.5(c)(1), categorizes
certain other assets as those "transferred from the former redevelopment agency to the
successor agency on or about February 1, 2012." ( "Section 34179.5(c)(1) Assets "); and,
WHEREAS, because (i) ABX1 26 states that a transfer of assets by a redevelopment
agency after January 1, 2011 was "unauthorized ", (ii) ABX1 26 further states that commencing
February 1, 2012, arrangements between a redevelopment agency and the city that created it
are "invalid" and (iii) the State Controller has purported to order that ownership of certain assets
be vested in successor agencies, the Agency Properties are therefore not categorized as
Section 34179.5(c)(2) Assets; and,
WHEREAS, because ABX1 26 states that all properties and buildings of the former
redevelopment agency are transferred on February 1, 2012 to the control of the successor
agency, the Agency Properties are therefore categorized as Section 34179.5(c)(1) Assets; and, ---
WHEREAS, the City disputes that, at the time of the purported transfer of the Agency
Properties prior to the enactment of ABX1 26, the purported transfer by the Agency to the City
was not in furtherance of the CRL; and,
RESOLUTION NO. 12 -7382
PAGE 3
WHEREAS, the City disputes the effectiveness of the Legislature's retroactive
application of law that purports to deem the purported transfer of the Agency Properties not in
furtherance of the CRL, when such purported transfer was conducted in accordance with the
CRL at the time when made and was not challenged within the applicable statute of limitations;
and,
WHEREAS, the City disputes that commencing February 1, 2012, arrangements
between the redevelopment agency and the city that created it are invalid; and,
WHEREAS, the City disputes the effectiveness of the California State Controller's order
to reverse the transfer of the Agency Properties and return the applicable assets to the
Successor Agency; and,
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the City's disputes noted in the recitals above, the City has
limited financial resources and desires not to initiate litigation at this time with regard to the
provisions in ABX1 26, AB 1484 and /or the purported order by the California State Controller
that ownership of the Agency Properties be vested in the Successor Agency; and,
WHEREAS, in order to avoid the costs of litigation and other costs, the City desires to
take action in a manner consistent with ABX1 26, AB 1484 and the California State Controller's
purported order, and in furtherance of the Successor Agency's duties under California Health
and Safety Code Sections 34179.6(h)(1) and 34179.6(f), by processing documentation
reflecting ownership of the Agency Properties by the Successor Agency, without acknowledging
or agreeing to, and reserving any and all rights by disputing, the effectiveness of the provisions
in ABX1 26, AB 1484 and /or the purported order by the California State Controller as that
ownership of the Agency Properties be vested in the Successor Agency; and,
WHEREAS, the City's processing of documentation reflecting ownership of the Agency
Properties by the Successor Agency is not intended to waive, and shall not constitute a waiver,
by the City of any constitutional, legal or equitable rights that the City may have to challenge,
through administrative or judicial proceedings, the effectiveness and /or legality of all or any
portion of ABX1 26 or AB 1484, any determinations rendered or actions or omissions to act by
any public agency or government entity or division in the implementation of ABX1 26 and AB
1484, and any and all related legal and factual issues, and the City expressly reserves any and
all rights, privileges, and defenses available under law and equity; and,
WHEREAS, this Resolution has been reviewed with respect to applicability of the
California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA "), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.); and,
WHEREAS, per Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the transfer of real
property is exempt from environmental review under CEQA because the transfer will result in a
continuation of an existing facility involving no expansion of use and is therefore exempt from
environmental review, and any future development of the real property will require separate
environmental review; and,
WHEREAS, all of the prerequisites with respect to the approval of this Resolution have
been met.
