Gity Council Meeting MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL ACTION: AGENDA REPORT x0.11.: s TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Ron Ahlers, Finance Director DATE: June 2, 2011 (City Council Meeting of June 15, 2011) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Adopting Loan Agreement between the City of Moorpark and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark BACKGROUND The California Health and Safety Code on Community Redevelopment Law Section 33610 allows the legislative body of the community to appropriate to the agency such amounts as necessary for administrative and overhead expenses of the agency. These appropriations may be paid to the agency as a loan and will be repaid upon such terms and conditions as provided by the legislative body. Several times since the creation of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark, the City has loaned funds to the Agency. All loans have been repaid by June 301h of each fiscal year. DISCUSSION For FY 2011/2012, the Agency has budgeted approximately $16.4 million in expenditures, including $10.0 million for capital improvements. While the Agency's annual revenues and existing fund balances are sufficient to finance these expenditures, it is our practice for all expenditures to be paid by the City and then these "advances" are repaid by the Agency. This is a common practice intended to comply with state laws that require Redevelopment Agencies to incur debt and to assist with Agency cash flow. Additionally, the Agency's cash flow has been negatively impacted by the taking of redevelopment tax increment by the State of California. The Agency paid the State $396,345 this year and $1,925,105 last May 2010, which reduced the cash position of the Agency. Therefore, the need for this $5 million loan is even greater this year. Staff is recommending a loan from the City to the Agency in the amount of $5.0 million as an advance for anticipated operating and capital expenditures for FY 2011/12. The Agency would be charged a rate equal to the rate earned on investments (the 71 Honorable City Council June 15, 2011 Page 2 higher of "LAIF" or the Ventura County Pool) plus 1%; currently this would be approximately 2.6%. The loan would be provided by the City's Special Projects Fund, which will have sufficient cash available, and would be due no later than June 30, 2012. STAFF RECOMMENDATION (Roll Call Vote) Adopt Resolution No. 2011- , approving a Loan Agreement with the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark. Attachment: Resolution No. 2011- 72 RESOLUTION NO. 2011- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MOORPARK AND THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK FOR FY 2011/12 WHEREAS, the City of Moorpark has agreed to advance funds from the Special Projects Fund (4004) to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark in accordance with the terms of a Loan Agreement dated July 1, 2011; and WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark has agreed to accept the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement dated July 1, 2011.
