C. The Bonds were issued and sold to finance and refinance projects of benefit to a project area known as the Moorpark Redevelopment Project (the "Project Area"). D. Pursuant to AB X1 26 (enacted in June 2011), as modified by the California Supreme Court's decision in California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Ana Matosantos, et al., 53 Cal. 4th 231 (2011), the Former Agency was dissolved as of February 1, 2012, the Successor Agency was constituted as the successor entity to the Former Agency, and an oversight board of the Successor Agency (the "Oversight Board") was established. E.

I. Because of the limited staffing of the Successor Agency and the City's traditional role and established procedures with respect to the awarding of public works contracts, the Successor Agency and the City desire to enter into this Agreement, for the City to perform or cause to be performed the work required for the Projects, with payment therefor to be made from the Remaining Bond Proceeds. J. This Agreement provides for the transfer of Remaining Bond Proceeds to the City for the City to perform or cause to be performed the work required for the Projects. K.

Each ROPS must be submitted to the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency and the DOF for approval. L. Pursuant to HSC Section 34191.4(c)(2), the expenditure of the Remaining Bond Proceeds for an obligation must be listed on a ROPS. M. This Agreement is in furtherance of the winding down of the Former Agency's affairs, with respect to the expenditure of unspent bond proceeds as permitted under HSC Section 34191.4. • N. Resolution No. OB-2017- adopted by the Oversight Board on January , 2017 approving the Successor Agency's execution and delivery of this Agreement was approved [deemed approved] by the DOF pursuant to HSC Section 34179(h) on , 2017.
