Schedule for Loans to the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Huntington Beach from the former Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, including loans to fund the Redevelopment Agency's payments to the Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund. BOARD RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to: Adopt Resolution No. 2015-01, "A Resolution of the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Huntington Beach Approving a Repayment Schedule for Loans from the Former Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund." BACKGROUND: As part of the Redevelopment Agency dissolution that took place on February 1, 2012 all of the assets of the former Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund were transferred to the Huntington Beach Housing Authority. The transfer of assets that was approved by the California Department of Finance included an accounts receivable f o r loans from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, including the Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) loans issued in 2010 and 2011, which were used to fund the Agency's portion of the SERAF shift payment to the County, pursuant to Assembly Bill 26 4x. Pursuant to Section 34176(e)(6)(B), in 2014-15 a Successor Agency may begin repaying loans or deferrals owed to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund in an amount equal to one-half of the increase between the residual balance distributed to taxing entities after all enforceable obligations have been paid in the current fiscal year and the residual balance distributed to taxing entities in the 2012-13 fiscal year. The Successor Agency has outstanding loans from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, including an outstanding SERAF Loan in the amount of $3,956,116. Under the dissolution law those loans are now eligible for repayment. The f i r s t loan payment was listed on the ROPS 14-15B, approved by Oversight Board. However, the Department of Finance (DOF) took the position that successor agencies must prepare a separate resolution of the Oversight Board approving a repayment schedule, which the Oversight Board has approved. In preparation for the current ROPS 15-16A and in accordance with DOF's position from further delaying the Housing Authority's receipt of these funds, staff is requesting that the Oversight Boa rd review and approve the resolution and request the payment for the SERAF loan. Since the amounts that can be repaid in any fiscal year are tied to actual distributions in a given year compared to the base year, future year payment amounts beyond ROPS 15-16A cannot be calculated at this time. However, pursuant to Section 34176 (e)(6)(B) the repayment amount for each fiscal year will be equal to the maximum amount allowed under the section, with the calculation for Fiscal Year 2014-2015 shown below. A similar calculation would be made for each succeeding fiscal year, until all of the loans from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund have been repaid. It is anticipated that this ROPS 15-16A will be the final SERAF payment, as shown on the Exhibit A of the Resolution. The Successor Agency recommends that the Oversight Board adopt the attached Resolution approving the Loan Repayment Schedule for loans from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.
