ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a Finance Agreement
Between the City of La Quinta and the La Quinta STUDY SESSION:
Redevelopment Agency Relating to the Supplemental PUBLIC HEARING:
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF)
Payment Mandated Pursuant to State of California
Assembly Bill 26 and an Appropriation of Funds
RECOMMENDATION:
Consideration of a Finance Agreement Between the City of La Quinta and the La
Quinta Redevelopment Agency Relating to the Supplemental Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund (SERAF) Payment Mandated Pursuant to State of California
Assembly Bill 26 of $10 million and an appropriation of $23,560,481 to make the
payment.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The following table summarizes the fiscal implications:
Description
Amount
Advance from General Fund
10,000,000
Reverse Previously Budgeted Transfer from Debt Service Fund
10,000,000
Transfer from RDA Project Area No. 1 Capital Projects Fund
3,560,481
Total
23,560,481
This Finance Agreement (Attachment 1) facilitates a $10,000,000 advance from
General Fund Reserves to the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency Project Area No. 1
Debt Service Fund. Even after this advance, an additional $13,560,481 is required
to fund the payment. $10,000,000 of the needed $13,560,481 is proposed to
come from not making a previously budgeted transfer of $10,000,000 to the
Project Area No. 1 Capital Projects Fund. The remaining $3,560,481 is proposed
to come from reducing the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 SilverRock Infrastructure Project
Budget from $24,856,940 to $21,296,459 and transferring these funds back to
the Project Area No. 1 Debt Service Fund.
,.. 005
The advance from the General Fund Reserves to the La Quinta Redevelopment
Agency Project No. 1 Debt Service Fund would pay 7% interest annually and
would be due no later than December 1, 2033.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The State Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 26 which required redevelopment
agencies statewide pay over $2 billion dollars into a SERAF over a two year period
beginning in May 2010. The La Quinta Redevelopment Agency Fiscal Year 2009-
2010 and 2010-2011 obligation is $23,560,481 and $4,850,687 respectively.
Staff has included an analysis of the SERAF shift considerations (Attachment 2),
prepared by the City's auditors Lance Soil and Lunghard LLP CPA's, which
highlights the major program funding options and deadlines.
One of the funding options that is allowed by the Legislation is the ability to
suspend deposits into the low- and moderate income fund and/or borrow funds
from the low- and moderate income fund to make SERAF the payment. Staff
analyzed this option and does not recommend this as an option based upon the
need to fund affordable housing units.
This staff report will also serve to notify the County by the March 1, 2010 deadline
as to how the SERAF payment will be funded and also meet the February 15, 2010
deadline to borrow funds from the City. This year's SERAF payment is due to the
County of Riverside by May 10, 2010. Failure to make this payment by May 10
will significantly impact the agency as outlined on page 4 of Attachment 2.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Agency Board include:
1. Approve a Finance Agreement Between the City of La Quinta and the La
Quinta Redevelopment Agency Relating to the Supplemental Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) Payment Mandated Pursuant to State
of California Assembly Bill 26 of $10 million and an appropriation of
$23,560,481 to make the; or
2. Do not approve a Finance Agreement Between the City of La Quinta and the

Supplemental ERAF Shift Considerations
As we all know, the legislature adopted AB 26 which established redevelopment agencies'
obligations to pay over 2 billion dollars to the Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation
Fund (SERAF). Obviously, we along with the California Redevelopment Association and many
agencies believe that this in unconstitutional. Hopefully, the litigation which has been instituted,
will ultimately prove that position out and eliminate these obligations. However, as that process
continues, agencies must look at the dates and requirements of the legislation to make sure that
they fully prepare themselves should that process not be successful.
In order to assist agencies in understanding some key points of the legislation and its effect, we
are presenting a brief discussion of it. Please keep in mind that we are not legal experts and this
is not a legal opinion. Therefore, please consult with your legal counsel prior to implementing
any of the concepts discussed.
Paving the Oblieation
The legislative body shall by March 1, 2010 (for the 2010 obligation) and March 1, 2011 (for the
2011 obligation), report to the county auditor as to how the agency intends to fund its obligation.
Section 33690 (b) of the Health and Safety Code (Code) allows an agency to pay is SERAF
obligation from any funds that are legally available and not legally obligated for other uses,
including, but not limited to, reserve funds, proceeds of land sales, proceeds of bonds or other
indebtedness, lease revenues, interest, and other earned income.
Suspension of Low and Moderate Housing Set -Aside
Section 33334.2. (k) of the Code allows for a suspension of all or a portion of the set -aside
deposit to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund for fiscal year 2009-2010. This
suspension could be done without adopting a finding; but it must be paid back to the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund from July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2015, inclusive. Any agency that
fails to repay or have repaid on its behalf the amount of revenue suspended shall, commencing
July 1, 2015, be required to deposit to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund an
additional 5 percent of all taxes that are allocated to that agency for the remainder of the time
that the agency receives allocations of tax revenue.
This could present some problems for agencies with regard to the provisions of the Code relating
to Excess/Surplus housing monies. Specifically, when the law was modified, no recognition was

given to the fact that for purposes of determining whether or not an Excess/Surplus situation
exists, in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, the available monies are compared
against a threshold which involves deposits to that Fund. That threshold is defined in the Health
and Safety Code Section 33334.12 (g) (1) which states:
"Excess surplus" means any unexpended and unencumbered amount in an
agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund that exceeds the greater of one
million dollars ($1,000,000) or the aggregate amount deposited into the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to Sections 33334.2 and 33334.6 during
the agency's preceding four fiscal years.
The suspension of that set -aside deposit for fiscal year 2009-2010 would mean that one year's
set -aside would not be present in the threshold and an Excess/Surplus could result.
Having an Excess/Surplus starts a three year compliance period running whereby an agency must
either spend or obligate the Excess/Surplus, turn the monies over to the County Housing
Authority or at the end of the period incur a 50% penalty to keep the monies.
Obviously, care must be taken by agencies to ,insure that they do not inadvertently incur an
Excess/Surplus or have non-compliance. Planning must be done to assess whether or not it is
beneficial to suspend the set -aside in light of this computational effect.
Borrowing of Low and Moderate Income Housing Monies
Another possible means of funding the obligations comes from Section 33690 (c) (1) of the
Code. This indicates that an agency may borrow the amount required to be allocated to the Low
and Moderate Income Housing Fund; pursuant to Sections 33334.2, 33334.3, and 33334.6,
unless, in a given fiscal year, executed contracts exist that would be impaired. This section is not
precise on the amount available for this 'borrowing. The California Redevelopment
Association's Legal Committee believes that this authorizes borrowing only from the current
year's allocation to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund; however, others feel that the
wording could allow for borrowing the entire available fund balance (as it was accumulated
through allocations under Section 33334.2 of the Code). Therefore, before relying upon an
amount larger than the current year's set -aside allocation, an agency should check with their
legal counsel.
As a condition of borrowing, an agency must make a finding that there are insufficient other
monies to meet the SERAF obligation. As indicated above, any monies borrowed shall be repaid
in full on or before June 30, 2015. Again, if an agency that fails to repay funds borrowed, it shall
be required to allocate an additional be required to deposit to the Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund an additional 5 percent of all taxes that are allocated to that agency for the
remainder of the time that the agency receives allocations of tax revenue.

If an agency can make the required finding it could prove more beneficial to borrow the monies
required from Low and Moderate Income Housing as opposed to suspending the set -aside
allocation discussed above. This could mean more monies available and the Excess/Surplus
effect would not occur. Additionally, if an agency is already in an Excess/Surplus situation, or
close to it, this could reduce or eliminate that situation through the borrowing. That occurs
because borrowed amounts would be unavailable and subject to the limitation when they are
repaid.
Again, planning is going to be critical to the determination as to whether or not a borrowing may
be more advantageous than suspending the set -aside. In that decision, all factors, including the
required finding, will have to be considered.
Agencies Unable to Pay Obligation
Section 33691 of the Code covers when an agency might not be able to pay its obligation. This
section states that any agency that intends to allocate, less than the amount required for the 2010
or 2011 SERAF shall adopt, prior to December 31, 2009 (for the 2010 obligation) and December
31, 2010 (for the 2011 obligation), after a noticed public hearing, a resolution that lists all of the
following:
• Each existing indebtedness incurred prior to the, effective date of this section.
• Each indebtedness on which a payment is required to be made during the applicable
fiscal year.
The amount of each payment, the time when it is required to be paid, and the total of
the payments required to be made during the applicable fiscal year. For indebtedness
that bears interest at a variable rate, or for short-term indebtedness that is maturing
during the fiscal year and that is expected to be refinanced, the amount of payments
during the fiscal year shall be estimated by the agency.
The information contained in the resolution required by this subdivision shall be reviewed for
accuracy by the chief fiscal officer of the agency and the legislative body shall additionally adopt
the resolution.
Additionally, an agency may enter into an agreement with its legislative body to borrow the
monies from the City (or its County if it is a County Redevelopment Agency) to fund the
payment of the difference between the full amount required to be paid and the amount available
for allocation by the agency. This must be done by February 15, 2010 (for the 2010 obligation)
and February 15, 2011 (for the 2011 obligation).
If an agency fails to provide to the County Auditor the full payment by May 10, 2010 (for the
2010 obligation), or by May 10, 2011 (for the 2011 obligation), as applicable, or fails to arrange
•P,: 014

for full payment to be provided on the agency's behalf it will suffer what has been called "The
Death Penalty" for which all of the following shall apply:
(1) The agency shall be prohibited from adding new project areas or expanding existing
project areas..
(2) The agency shall be prohibited from issuing new bonds, notes, interim certificates,
debentures, or other obligations, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise.
(3) The agency shall be prohibited from encumbering any funds or expending any moneys
derived from any source, except that the agency may encumber funds and expend funds
to pay, if any, all of the following:
• Bonds, notes, interim certificates, debentures, or other obligations issued by an
agency before the imposition of the prohibition described in the legislation
whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise.
• Loans or moneys advanced to the agency, including, but not limited to, loans
from federal, state, local agencies, or a private entity.
_ • Contractual obligations that, if breached, could subject the agency to damages
or other liabilities or remedies.
• Obligations incurred pursuant to Section 33445.
• Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 33334.2 or 33334.6.
• Obligations incurred pursuant to Section 33401.
• An amount, for the monthly operation and administration of the agency, that
may not exceed 75 percent of the average monthly amount spent for those
purposes in the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the agency failed
to make the payment of its obligation for the SERAF.
Due to the current economy, etc. some agencies may find that they cannot pay this obligation and
to borrow or use monies from their government is not feasible. If that is the case, the provisions
above may take effect. Prior to that occurring, those agencies need to review their operations
with legal counsel to make sure that all of their existing obligations have the documentation
necessary to fall under the provisions above. If that is accomplished, they will be in a better
position to comply with the Code and not have operational expenditures prohibited.
As always, should you have any questions, regarding the above or in general, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
