RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA,
CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AS THE
SUCCESSOR HOUSING AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AND ADOPTION OF AN AMENDED ENFORCEABLE
OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE - As a result of ABX1 26,
Redevelopment Agencies will be dissolved and replaced with
Successor Agencies responsible for winding down the affairs of
the Redevelopment Agencies on February 1, 2012. While the City
automatically defaults to be the Successor Agency for
non-housing related matters, ABX1 26 provides the City an
opportunity to become the Successor Agency for the housing
functions previously held by the Redevelopment Agency.
Additionally, the Redevelopment Agency adopted an Enforceable
Obligation Payment Schedule (EOPS) on August 23, 2011. As a
result of the Supreme Court's decision and the subsequent
deadline extensions, it becomes necessary to adopt an amended
EOPS.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Council adopt "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA,
CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AS THE
SUCCESSOR HOUSING AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA" and direct staff to transmit
appropriate notification of this action as required by ABX1
26. Redevelopment Agency adopt the amended Enforceable
Obligation Payment Schedule and direct staff to comply with
the reporting and posting requirements of the Enforceable
Obligation Payment Schedule statute.
