DATE: January 18, 2011
SUBJECT: APPROVAL AND EXECUTION OF AGREEMENTS FOR AGENCY
STAFF SERVICES AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR PREVIOUSLY
INCURRED OBLIGATIONS
FROM: David H. Ready, Esq., Ph.D., City Manager/Executive Director
BY: Thomas Wilson, Assistant City Manager
John Raymond, Director, Community&Economic Development
Geoffrey Kiehl, Director of Finance&Treasury
SUMMARY
The Governor of the State released his Budget Proposal on Monday, .January 10,
2011. In this budget, the Governor proposes to eliminate redevelopment, and re-
direct any tax increment not currently pledged to existing debt or contractual
obligations to defray certain costs of the State. The California Redevelopment
Association has recommended that agencies carefully document their existing
obligations, so that the agencies' tax increment may be protected to provide for
these items. Further, the Governor has urged the Legislature to adopt urgency
legislation precluding agencies from incurring additional debt. The Legislature
could take this action at any time.
The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs has incurred
obligations to the City over a number of years and wishes to establish, document
and record the repayment schedule for such obligations. Furthermore, the
Agency currently contracts with the City to provide staff services to administer its
programs and activities and wishes to provide for the reimbursement to the City
for such services.
If approved, the resolutions would authorize the execution of two agreements
between the City and the Agency relating to these transactions. One agreement
r
will formalize certain existing obligations the Agency has to the City, which were
approved in accordance with the California Redevelopment Law, such as the
contribution to Convention Center debt and certain interfund loans. The other
agreement would provide for long-term staffing costs relating to the
administration of the Agency, in-lieu of the Agency's current year-to-year
contract.
Given the lack of credible information as to the Governor's timeline or the State
Department of Finance's progress on drafting any such urgency legislation, it is
prudent to take action at this time to formalize these existing obligations.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The Agency is carrying out the redevelopment plans for each of the project
areas, and, in that regard, is utilizing the staff and other resources of the City.
The City Manager of the City serves as Executive Director of the Agency and the
staff of the Planning, Finance, Engineering and other Departments of the City
devote substantial time in gathering information relating to each of the project
areas, conferring with developers and potential developers of land within the
project areas, conferring with public officials representing the county of Riverside
and other governmental agencies regarding the redevelopment of the project
areas and undertaking planning and administrative activities in connection with
the production, improvement and preservation of affordable housing.
The Cooperative Agreement provides that the City shall make available to the
Agency its staff resources, office space, equipment, supplies, insurance and
other services and facilities. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Agency shall have
access to the services and facilities of the planning department, the planning
commission, the city engineer and the other departments and offices of the City.
Each year, these costs exceed $1,000,000, a portion of which is allocable to
each project area. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Agency shall pay the City for
such costs.
In addition, the Agency has previously borrowed funds or otherwise by resolution
agreed to reimburse the City for programs and activities associated with
redevelopment of the Agency's project areas (e.g. Convention Center remodel,
etc. — see exhibit 1). These annual expenditures total approximately $1.9 million
annually. It is important to note, this does not represent additional debt.

REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
FOR PAYMENT OF COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
CERTAIN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
FUNDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into this 18th day
of January, 2011, by and between the CITY OF PALM SPRINGS (the "City") and the
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS (the
"Agency"), with reference to the following facts:
A. The Agency has prepared Redevelopment Plans for the Merged Project No. 1
and Merged Project No. 2 Redevelopment Projects (the "Project Areas"), which results in the
allocation of taxes from the Project Areas to the Agency for purposes of redevelopment.
B. The intent of the Redevelopment Plans is, in part, to provide for the construction
and installation of necessary public infrastructure and facilities and to facilitate the repair,
restoration and/or replacement of existing public facilities and to perform specific actions
necessary to promote the redevelopment and the economic revitalization of the Project Areas;
and to increase, improve and preserve the community's supply of low and moderate income
housing, some of which may be located or implemented outside the Redevelopment Project
Areas; and to take all other necessary actions to implement the redevelopment plans for the
respective redevelopment projects and to expend tax increment to accomplish the goals and
objectives of the respective redevelopment projects.
C. Pursuant to California Redevelopment law, section 33220, certain public bodies,
including the City may aid and cooperate in the planning, undertaking, construction, or operation
of redevelopment projects. The Agency has previously borrowed funds or otherwise by
resolution agreed to reimburse the City for programs and activities associated with the Project
Areas listed in the attached Exhibit 1, which are incorporated herein by this reference (the
"Projects").
D. The Agency wishes to enter into this Agreement with the City for the pledge of
net available tax increment to repay amounts borrowed or otherwise to be reimbursed for the
Projects. The purpose of this Agreement is to record the Projects to be funded with net available
tax increment in this current fiscal year and forthcoming fiscal years.
E. Net available tax increment is defined as any tax increment, net of existing debt
service payments, and existing contractual obligations received by the Agency or any lawful
successor of the Agency and/or to any of the powers and rights of the Agency pursuant to any
applicable constitutional provision, statute or other provision of law now existing or adopted in
the future. The pledge of net available tax increment will constitute obligations to make
payments authorized and incurred pursuant to Section 33445 and other applicable statutes.
The obligations set forth in this Agreement will be contractual obligations that, if breached, will
subject the Agency to damages and other liabilities or remedies.
Page 1
10.
F. The City Council (the "Council") and the Agency by resolution have each found
that the use of Agency redevelopment funding for the Projects was, if applicable, in accordance
with Section 33445 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health & Safety Code
Section 33000 et seq.) ("CRL") and Section 33445(a) of the CRL and other applicable law at
time the financial obligation for Projects was originally incurred. The said Council and Agency
resolutions are each based on the authority of the Agency, with the consent of the Council, to
pay all or part of the cost of the installation and construction of any building, facility, structure, or
other improvements which is publicly owned either within or outside a project area, if the Council
made certain determinations.
G. By approving and entering into this Agreement, the Agency has approved the
pledge of net available tax increment from the Project Areas to pay for the Projects.
H. The obligations of the Agency under this Agreement shall constitute an
indebtedness of the Agency for the purpose of carrying out the Redevelopment Plans for the
Project Areas.

Council,
Attached is the staff report and agreements/resolutions for our special
meeting on Tuesday. Suzanne Harrell has urged us to have the meeting to
prevent a possible action by the legislature which would prohibit us from
making some of our payment obligations from the Agency. For example, the
convention center renovation project is paid for by a transfer each year -
normal operating procedure, because it was not funded by an agency bond,
rather, they contribute to the General Fund bond for the project. However,
Suzanne advises, that if cities create an agreement for the annual payment,
that could shield us from the state action. Otherwise, the General Fund
would have an additional expense ($1.8 million). Hence, we want to have
council approve two agreements, one for the projects, and one for the
administration of the community and economic development departments
(approx $1 million annually).
These are not new debts or costs...we are merely formalizing them by
contract with the City to prevent the state from taking our ability to make
these transfers, which has always been legal under redevelopment law.
A final note, these transactions do not include, or affect the RDA bonds,
which are already covered by bond agreement, nor the sale of park land,
etc.
Suzanne will be here for the meeting to explain the details and provide info
on other cities that are doing the same procedure (e.g. L.A. has approved
these agreements for over $85 million - and the County is also having a
special meeting next week).
I'll be giving each of you a call, tomorrow to answer any questions.
Thanks
David
p.s. - we will have hard copies for you at the meeting, and I can drop a set
off at your house, if you wish -- please let me know.

Redevelopment Agency
Staff Report
DATE: January 18, 2011
SUBJECT: APPROVAL AND EXECUTION OF AGREEMENTS FOR AGENCY
STAFF SERVICES AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR PREVIOUSLY
INCURRED OBLIGATIONS
FROM: David H. Ready, Esq., Ph.D., City Manager/Executive Director
BY: Thomas Wilson,Assistant City Manager
John Raymond, Director,Community&Eounomic Development
Geoffrey Kiehl, Director of Finance&Treasury
SUMMARY
The Governor of the State released his Budget proposal on Monday, January 10,
2011. In this budget, the Governor proposes to eliminate redevelopment, and re-
direct any tax increment not currently pledged to existing debt or contractual
obligations to defray certain costs of the State. The California Redevelopment
Association has recommended that agencies carefully document their existing
obligations, so that the agencies' tax increment may be protected to provide for
these items. Further, the Governor has urged the Legislature to adopt urgency
legislation precluding agencies from incurring additional debt. The Legislature
could take this action at any time.
The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs has incurred
obligations to the City over a number of years and wishes to establish, document
and record the repayment schedule for such obligations. Furthermore, the
Agency currently contracts with the City to provide staff services to administer its
programs and activities and wishes to provide for the reimbursement to the City
for such services.
If approved, the resolutions would authorize the execution of two agreements
between the City and the Agency relating to these transactions. One agreement
I
will formalize certain existing obligations the Agency has to the City, which were
approved in accordance with the California Redevelopment Law, such as the
contribution to Convention Center debt and certain interfund loans. The other
agreement would provide for long.-term staffing costs relating to the
administration of the Agency, in-lieu of the Agency's current year-to-year
contract.
Given the lack of credible information as to the Governor's timeline or the State
Department of Finance's progress on drafting any such urgency legislation, it is
prudent to take action at this time to formalize these existing obligations.
