Moe 11, Redevelopment Manager w' Date: March 25, 2013 (Meeting of 4/3/13) Subject: Consider Resolution Conveying Certain Properties to the Successor Agency of the City of Moorpark BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION On July 6, 2011, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ("Redevelopment Agency") transferred certain parcels of real property (collectively, "Properties") to the City of the Moorpark ("City") in an effort to preserve the assets of the Redevelopment Agency. AB X1 26, as upheld and modified by the Supreme Court in California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Ana Matosantos, et al. (53 CaL4th 231(2011)), thereby, dissolving the Redevelopment Agency as of February 1, 2012 and creating the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ("Successor Agency"). AB X1 26, specifically Health and Safety Code Section 34167.5, provides that if the State Controller determines that an asset transfer occurred between the Redevelopment Agency and the City after January 1, 2011, and the City is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of those assets, then the State Controller shall order the available assets to be returned to the Successor Agency. The State Controller is slowing auditing redevelopment agencies, but has not initiated an audit of the Redevelopment Agency or contacted staff. The Properties of the former Redevelopment Agency are currently held by the City. In order to comply with Health and Safety Code Section 34167.5, the properties need to be transferred to the Successor Agency. Staff recommends approving the attached resolution conveying Properties to the Successor Agency by a quit claim deed. 115 Honorable City Council April 3, 2013 Page 2 of 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT None.
