The annual report shall contain; 1) an independent financial audit report for the previous fiscal year; 2) a fiscal statement for the previous fiscal year; 3) a description of the agency's activities in the previous fiscal year affecting housing and displacement; 4) a description of the agency's progress, including specific actions and expenditures, in alleviating blight in the previous fiscal year; 5) a list and status of all loans made by the redevelopment agency that are fifty thousand ($50,000) or more, that in the previous fiscal year were in default; 6) a description of the total number and nature of the properties that the agency owns and those properties the agency has acquired in the previous fiscal year; and, 7) any other information that the agency believes useful to explain its programs. ANALYSIS: To comply with these requirements, the following documents are attached: 1) Agency's Annual Financial Report as of June 30, 2011. 2) Agency's Financial Transactions Report as of June 30, 2011. 3) A description of the agency's activities in the previous fiscal year affecting housing and displacement. 1 During the reporting period the Lions Park Lighting project proceeded with the purchase of lights, completion of design work and the advertising of the project. The project was then awarded for construction of park improvements on June 21, 2011 with construction projected to begin July 2011. Also during the reporting year, funds continued to be appropriated to a new senior housing construction project ("Harpers -Pointe") which was in the process of applying for a tax -credit allocation. The project was unsuccessful in obtaining a tax credit allocation after two rounds and returned to the Agency to request additional funding in FY11-12. This request was denied. In process during the FY10-11 was the continued implementation of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) I, an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant. This grant was combined with Low -Mod funds to develop an acquisition/rehabilitation/disposition program for foreclosed vacant properties within the City. Two properties in the City were purchased and rehabilitated in FY10-11 and are anticipated to be sold on the open market to low and moderate income homebuyers in FY11-12. The Single Family Rehabilitation Program, in conjunction with the City's HOME Rehab Program, assisted 55 units with the rehabilitation of their owner -occupied units. The Redevelopment Agency does not have any loans that are fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or more, or any amount, that were in default during the previous fiscal year. Also, the Redevelopment Agency does not own nor did it acquire any property in the previous fiscal year. The attached documents fully satisfy the aforementioned Health and Safety Code requirements. These documents may be acted upon by the City Council on a "receive and file basis". ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: None. FISCAL REVIEW: Fiscal review is not required for this item. LEGAL REVIEW: Legal review is not required for this item. E CONCLUSION: Transmittal of the attached documents to the City Council (Legislative Body for the Redevelopment Agency) is required pursuant to the Health and Safety Code. This requirement may be satisfied by acting upon the recommended motion on a "receive and file" basis. Staff will then submit the report to the State Controller as prescribed under Health and Safety Code 33080. BOBBY YOUNG Finance & I.T.
