Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution, entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AS SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SIGNAL HILL, CALIFORNIA, [TK3][DP4]ADOPTING AN AMENDED RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE (ROPS 25-26B) AND TRANSMITTING THE ROPS TO THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY 4TH SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICT CONSOLIDATED OVERSIGHT BOARD FOR ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL.
body
Fiscal Impact:
The Successor Agency is requesting an additional $48,000 for administrative costs. The City utilizes the administrative allocation provided through the ROPS approval process to offset costs directly related to the dissolution of the former Signal Hill Redevelopment Agency.
Background:
The Successor Agency submitted ROPS 25-26 [TK5][DP6]to the Los Angeles County 4th Supervisorial District Consolidated Oversight Board (Oversight Board) in January 2025. The ROPS includes an administrative allowance that covers staff costs and overhead associated with dissolution activities. In addition, the accounting and finance functions performed by City staff attributable to the Successor Agency also include monitoring the remaining properties described below. The Long-Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) identifies two remaining parcel groups transferred to the City for future development.
* LRPMP #3: 2435-2461, 2475, 2485 Gardena Avenue (approximately 2 acres).
* LRPMP #4: 630-998 East Spring Street, 631-799 E. Canton Street, 801-999 East Canton Street, 630-798 East Canton Street, 800-998 E. Canton Street, 631-799 E. 29th Street, and 801-999 East 29th Street (approximately 13 acres) situated between California and Atlantic Avenues.
When the City disposes of the properties, the sale proceeds will be distributed to the taxing entities. Both the Gardena site and the Spring Street site were former oil production sites. The City's administrative activities include monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOC) and heavy metals and soil testing.
Analysis:
Staff [TK7][DP8]originally included an administrative cost allowance of $298,000, which is less than the maximum allowance. The maximum administrative allowance is calculated [TK9][DP10]as 3 percent of the actual property tax revenue distributed to the Successor Agency by the County Auditor-Controller (CAC) in the preceding fiscal year for payment of approved enforceable obligations, amounting to $389,720. Unfortunately, due to a technical issue that occurred during the virtual meeting, staff was unable to present and discuss the details of the administrative cost request. As a result, the Oversight Board reduced the Successor Agency administrative cost allowance to $250,000. The Successor Agency is now requesting that the Oversight Board consider the information that could not be presented in January 2025 and approve an increase of $48,000, restoring the Agency's administrative cost allowance to the originally requested amount of $298,000 as shown in the following table.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends the City Council, acting as the Successor Agency of the City of Signal Hill, adopt a Resolution amending ROPS (25-26B) to enable staff to request the additional $48,000 administrative allocation at the next Oversight Board meeting.
