On June, 29, 2011, the State of California enacted AB 1 X26, which dissolves redevelopment agencies and designates Successor Agencies to "wind-down" activities of the former redevelopment agencies under supervision of newly created Oversight Boards. On January, 31 , 2012, the City's Redevelopment Agency presented an initial draft Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) to the Successor Agency. In this case, the City has elected to become the Successor Agency. The draft schedule as presented shows all obligations and a schedule of payments through June of 2012. The debt to the Traffic Impact Fund is not currently broken out specifically in the schedule, but staff will add it to the final ROPS that will be submitted to the County Auditor-Controller, State Controller and the State Department of Finance in April. Planned Capital Projects, Studies and Expenditures The Public Works Department has prepared a five-year Capital Improvement Program that has included projects funded by the Traffic Impact Fee Program in previous years. No new projects were funded through the Traffic Impact Fee Fund for FY 20011/12 due to the low fund balance. Small expenses for staff time related to the administration of the fund is expected and should be less than $10,000. Item 7. - 14 HB -138- Capital Project Reimbursements The actual costs against the Traffic Impact Fee program are not accurately . reflected until full reimbursement for grants has been received. As of the end of the 2010/11 fiscal year, the City was awaiting final grant reimbursement for two projects. We recently received final payment of approximately $25,000 for the grant. We also have acquired real estate assets from two projects. The City had purchased private property and the fund now owns surplus vacant lots. One lot was sold during the fiscal year netting just under $240,000 back into the fund. The City still retains other vacant lots and will look to sell those lots when it appears as opportunities and favorable market conditions allow. These are significant assets that could have a total value between $500,000 and $1 ,000,000 depending on market conditions at the time. 2010/11 Fund Balance Including Assets Final Audited Fund Balance $ 26,821 Real Estate Assets (low estimate) $500,000 Total $526,821 Conformance with Program Goals and Objectives The Traffic Impact Fee Program is intended to implement the goals, objectives and policies of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan, as stated in the Municipal Code Chapter 17.65.
