PUBLIC COMMENTS: None LEGISLATIVE ITEMS: I. BUDGET -EDUCATIONAL REVENUE AUGEMNTATION FUND (EARF) Recommendation: That the Agency approve payment of $777,382.93 from the unexpended proceeds of the 1991 Tax Allocation Bond Issue, which represents the Agency's obligation under the 1992-93 State Budget bills enacted by the Legislature in September 1992, requiring redevelopment agencies to pay the equivalent of 17% of their 1990-92 property tax increment into the ERAF. Executive Director reviewed the memorandum of the Director o Finance, noting that the unexpended funds were intended for downtown improvements; that options would be to borrow the fiords from the Wastewater Treatment plant, or from the General Fund, neither of which did he recommend; and that if the funds are not paid, the State will withhold other payments that the City may be entitled to; and he recommended payment be made under protest. Member Lyons stated that the City must get busy with a concentrated lobbying effort to get some actin, otherwise the State will dry up all City Funds. Executive Director noted that these funds related to prior actions of the State, and a strategy for dealing with next year's budget is underway. He added that citizens needs to write letters to State Legislators, simply stating they opposed taking any more monies from cities. (124- Chairman pointed out that the League of California Cities has a strong lobbying effort, ego) representing all cities; and he agreed a letter-writing campaign was helpful. He also noted that the EARF represents about $230 million from cities, and that Palm Springs amount is near 1/200%, and the City is facing added budget constraints. Member Schlendorf stated that she felt there should be more done than lobbying,rather that cities should join together in suit against the State, on the basis of unconstitutional action by the State. Member Hodges favored the City of Palm Springs taking the lead agency role, adding that the clout for the city rests with the judicial system; and suggested that the city not pay the money, and be prepared to file a lawsuit against the State if it attempts to take other monies owing the city on the basis of that action be unconstitutional. ' City Attorney stated that payment of the money may lead to a worse situation, and a number of other city attorneys and their clients are considering joining others with like interest if one party is willing to start the process against the State; that so far, no one has stepped forward to do that, and he would be reluctant to recommend that the city of Palm Springs be that entity; that if payment is made under protest, and the matter is settled to the benefit of the protestors,the money could be refunded; that until there are sufficient numbers to spread the cost of litigation, it would be prudent to pay under protest. He stated that he would be willing to take a more active role to determine if there are other agencies willing to get involved. 0*305 CRA Minutes 2-17-93 Pg. 2 I. EARF (Continued) Member Hodges suggested that perhaps this matter be delayed until May 15, and during the interim the Chair send letters to other cities asking for support; and that the issue is larger than just the EARF, rather that the State is taking money from other area of revenues for which the cities are entitled. Member Reller-Spurgin noted that the Tax Allocation Bond proceeds are needed to help revitalize the downtown, and it will have a significant impact on that. Executive Director stated that it will be a drain on the proceeds, although not eliminate the funds; and the primary purpose of the proceeds was to fund public works, type improvement, and if the Agency desired, the matter could be delayed to April 21 or May 5. Chair stated that he would like to defer action to May 5; that the cities lobbied long and hard when the State was first considering this legislation; that most of the other cities in the Coachella Valley are not impact in the same way because they were not incorporated before Prop. 13, although they will be impacted in terms of community redevelopment agency status;that he would be reluctant to take a lead agency versus that of a participating agency,because of the legal costs; that large cities are being impacted more so than Palm Springs, and they should take the lead role, (124- and the cost factor should be first considered. 079 Member Hodges stated that the budget was adopted by the State in September, 1992,and thus far, no one has come forward to challenge its authority; that she believes if one city steps forward, that the remainder will follow and will share in the costs; that the League has not done anything yet, and it should not be left to the League alone to do. Member Lyons concurred with both the Chair and Member Hodges, and added that if the challenge must be met, all resources should be marshalled and efforts made to share the revenue and the costs and to move forward with strength. Member Schlendorf stated that she agreed that the City should take the lead; that the funds are not earmarked for the Palm Springs Unified School District. In answer to question by Council, City Attorney stated that the funds would remain in the same county,but not necessarily within the same jurisdiction's school district. Executive Director added that the funds do not supplement existing funds, rather are a, replacement for former State fimds to schools. Motion by Hodges, seconded by Reller-Spurgin, and unanimously carried, that this matter be continued to May 5, and during the interim other cities be aggressively pursued to gain support in filing a lawsuit against the State. Chair asked that the City Attorney estimate what the costs might be to the City.

PAYMENT TO EDUCATIONAL REVENUE AUGMENTATION FUND (ERAF) Consideration of approving payment from the unexpended proceeds of the 92-93 Agency Tax Allocation Bond Issue, of$777,382.93, was continued from February 17, 1993. Executive Director reported that the State action represents a payment equal to 17%of the 1991-92 property tax increment; that how the payment was paid for dvas up to the city; that choices for Palm Springs included tax allocation bond proceeds, loan from other funds, or payment from the General Fund; and that the only viable alternative is to use unallocated bond proceeds, and that the City Attorney recommends payment be made under protest. Member Hodges supported taking a strong stand in opposition to the payment, even bring litigation, and that the funds represents programs that the City will not be able to fund, and which are needed for She community; and she could not support approving the payment, even under protest. Chairman stated that he will vote to approve the payment, with recognition that the State is stealing from the cities; that the legislation was passed, and if the payment is not made, the County (124- is required to simply deduct it from Elie property tax revenues of the City and remit it to the State; 0%d) that it is the law, and it must be followed; that payment made under protest will result in making every effort to recover the funds, and he will contact other cities and the Legislature to preclude this from happening again; that the State failed to provide very needed and important funds for education in the State, and rather than fulfill its obligation, it passed that burden onto the cities to do it for them, thereby forcing cities to make cuts and impose taxes, rather than the State doing so. In answer to question by the Agency, the City Attorney stated that the Legislation was approved last year as part of the State's budget balancing, and is considering similar legislation that would effect the coming year; that if the Agency slid not approve the payment from the tax allocation bond proceeds, and did not make the payment, the County would take those funds from the property taxes of the City, which are General Fund dollars; that it is not known what the State would do if non-property tax based cities, or those with little property taxes, did not make the payment, as to where the funds would come from, and is probably a loophole that will be changed in the coming year, but is impossible to speculate on at this time. Agency Member Schlendorf stated that the State's action should be illegal; that other cities are not paying the funds, and are mostly low property tax based cities, however, she still considered the States action outrageous. Resolution 112 as recommended, was presented; after which, it was moved by Lyons, seconded ' by Reller-Spurgin, carried by the following vote, that R882 be adopted: AYES: Lyons, Reller-Spurgin & Maryanov NOES: Hodges and Schlendorf ABSENT: None CRA Minutes 5-5-93 Pg. 2 2.

Executive Director reported that the payments are consistent with the agreements which have been executed, and added that the agreements were examined to determine if the Agency could pass through an equivalent reduction to offset the State's ERAF demand, and the Director of Finance checked with the State and confirmed that it could not. Agency Member Hodges stated that under the agreements the Districts have a right to so much (124- of the tax increment, and because of the State's action which reduced the revenue to the Agency, a like amount should be passed through to the other taxing agencies. Chairman stated that the ERAF reduction affects every city in the State, and that if the payment ��P1 does not come out of redevelopment funds, it would come from General Funds, which are needed to pay for safety services; and lie urged that the citizens of the community contact Legislators and voice strong opposition to the State's taking of local revenues. Member Reller-Spurgin noted that the$777,383 payment represents funds that would have been spent for projects in the downtown area. Member Schlendorf endorsed letting the Legislators know of local concerns, and noted that local funds which have been lost will either have to be replaced, or services nut.
