Approved and Adopted Minutes for the March 26, 2012 Special Meeting
A motion was made by Delgado, second Bone, to approve and adopt the Oversight Board
minutes of the meeting of March 26, 2012, as written and on file in the Office of the Board Clerk,
Joan L. Flynn. The motion passed by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Hansen, L. Dunn, Bone, A. Dunn, Delgado, Fritzal

Presentation Was Made by Finance Director Lori Ann Farrell - Reviewed the Recognized
Obligations Payment Schedule (ROPS) and Approved the Recognized Obligations
Payment Schedule (ROPS) and Approved the Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule
(EOPS)
Boardmember Steve Bone made an announcement that, as a shareholder, he had an economic
conflict of interest within the EOPS and ROPS for items pertaining to the Hyatt. Director Farrell
indicated the PowerPoint was broken into two sections — one which contained no projects or
debt obligations referencing the Hyatt, and a second portion which only contained items that
reference the Hyatt. The board decided they would hear the first section that did not include the
Hyatt, and then vote on that section only. Boardmember Bone would then recuse himself while
the second presentation of the EOPS and ROPS was reviewed, discussed and voted upon.
After the presentation by Director Farrell discussion ensued on the following topics: the inclusion
of the obligations in other supporting, audited reports and any outside audits performed in
relation to the items on the EOPS and ROPS; the substance of the amendments which were
submitted to the City Council at their last meeting (the EOPS and ROPS listings given to the
Oversight Board at their first meeting contained all the amendments); the possibility and
protocol to incorporate any future claim to an obligation that is not on the list; the addition to the
ROPS of the cost of outside counsel if any were hired by the Board; and how the payment
priority would be assigned if not enough tax increment was realized to pay all the obligations.
A motion was made by Carchio, second Delgado, to approve the Enforceable Obligation
Payment Schedule (EOPS) excluding #14 and #15 on page one (land purchase for commercial
development of the Hilton, the Hyatt, Town Square, the Main Street Parking Structure, California
Resorts Projects and residential development) and # 2 on page two (Hyatt Regency Huntington
Beach Project), and #14 on page two (HUD Section 108 infrastructure loan for Hyatt/Hilton
Properties) for the period covering August 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. The motion passed by the
