V. NEW BUSINESS
1. Receive from the Successor Agency the Independent Accountant's Report
from the Non -Housing Due Diligence Review conducted pursuant to Section
34179.5 and convene public comment session.
Finance and I.T. Director Bobby Young provided a narrative of the staff report.
Successor Agency Special Counsel Celeste Brady added that approval of the
resolution would open a 5 -day public comment session. A tentative special
meeting would be set for January 10, 2013 for the Oversight Board to take
action on reviewing public comments received, if any, and opinions and results
offered by the County Auditor Controller, if any. The report in its final form
would be submitted again to the Department of Finance and the County Auditor
Controller. Ms. Brady mentioned the report had approved by the Successor
Agency at their December 4, 2012 meeting and was being submitted to the
County Auditor Controller (CAC), the County Administrator's Office (CAO), the
State Controller's Office (SCO) and the Department of Finance.
Ms. Brady pointed out a negative number in the last page and said that as a
result, there would be no claw back money. Mr. Young said staff recognized the
negative amounts in the ROPS schedule as estimates because legal and
miscellaneous fees were unknown. He concurred with Ms. Brady that there was
no money for the State to claw back.
Ms. Brady reported staff might be presenting a new loan agreement by and
between the City and the Successor Agency when they presented the ROPS 4.
The loan agreement would require approval from the Oversight Board and the
Department of Finance and it would allow the City to advance funds to the
Successor Agency for payment of bills.
Ms. Brady pointed out a small error in the numbering of the resolution. The
resolution number (06-2012) reflected on the Agenda staff report was incorrect
and the correct number was 2012-11. She added the correct number (2012-11)
would appear in the final version of the resolution.
Vice -Chair Jeff Trader inquired about a loan. Ms. Brady and Mr. Young
provided an answer to his question.
