SUCCESSOR AGENCY ACTION MEETING DATE: 6/16/2014 SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Chairperson and Successor Agency Board Members SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, Executive Director PREPARED BY: Lori Ann Farrell , Director of Finance SUBJECT: Adopt Successor Agency Resolution No. 2014-03 approving execution of a Second Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to remove the membership of the Successor Agency and include the Housing Authority as a member of the Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority Statement of Issue: Successor Agency Board approval is requested to amend the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement of the Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority to remove the membership of the Successor Agency and include the Housing Authority as a member of the Public Financing Authority. Financial Impact: There is no fiscal impact to the Successor Agency's FY 2013/14 Adopted Budget associated with this amendment. This action relates solely to the ability of the Public Financing Authority to exercise its powers in financing capital improvements beyond the termination date of the Successor Agency. Successor Agency Recommended Action: A) Adopt Successor Agency Resolution 2014-03, "A Resolution of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Huntington Beach Approving the Execution and Delivery of a Second Amendment to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement and Other Matters Related Thereto Relating to the Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority;" and, B) Authorize the Executive Director to execute any agreements and take any actions necessary in furtherance of the amendment. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: The Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority (PFA) is a joint exercise of powers entity formed in 1988 by the City of Huntington Beach (City) and the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Huntington Beach (Redevelopment Agency) for the purpose of assisting the City and the Redevelopment Agency in financing public capital improvements and working capital requirements. On February 1, 2012, the Redevelopment Agency was dissolved pursuant to State legislation (ABX1 26). Under ABX1 26, the City Council elected for the City to become the Successor Agency (Successor Agency) to the Redevelopment Agency. ABX1 26 also specified that certain HB -397- Item 20. - I Dept.ID FN 14-009 Page 2 of 2 Meeting Date:6/16/2014 agreements between cities and their redevelopment agencies, including joint exercise of powers agreements, were not invalidated by the dissolution of the redevelopment agencies. As a result of this, the PFA remained a viable legal entity with the Successor Agency becoming a member of the PFA in place of the Redevelopment Agency. On June 27, 2012, subsequent State legislation affecting redevelopment agencies was signed by the Governor (AB 1484). Under AB 1484, successor agencies are required to terminate within one year of paying off or retiring the debts of its redevelopment agency. The Redevelopment Agency issued bonds in 1999 and 2002 and therefore, the Successor Agency will terminate no later than Fiscal Year 2025. It is not clear what impact the termination of the Successor Agency would have on the PFA; however, as constituted, it may not be possible for the PFA to issue bonds which will mature after the dissolution of the Successor Agency. This would impair the ability of the PFA to serve one of its principal functions, namely issuing long term bonds on behalf of the City if needed. Due to this circumstance, it is recommended that the JPA Agreement be amended in order to substitute the Huntington Beach Housing Authority (Housing Authority) for the Successor Agency as a member of the PFA. This will remove any question as to the PFA's legal viability after the termination of the Successor Agency. The Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Act) requires that a joint exercise of powers entity must be composed of two or more public agencies. The Housing Authority is a public agency within the meaning of the Act and it may enter into the amended JPA Agreement as a member of the PFA. The amended JPA Agreement would allow the PFA to exercise those powers common to the City and the Housing Authority and those additional statutory powers granted to joint exercise of powers entities by the Act. As the amended JPA Agreement would involve the removal of the Successor Agency and the addition of the Housing Authority as a member, approvals must be obtained by the City Council, the Board of Successor Agency, the Board of the Housing Authority and the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency.

It was noted at the meeting that page 3 of the second amendment was incorrect for noticing. It should reach Attention: Executive Director instead of Executive Officer. Is there any way we can replace Page 3 of the Second Amendment for all four resolutions?
