V DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Senate Bill 1135 With the passage of Senate Bill 1135, $65 million of Redevelopment funds are to be paid annually to schools and community colleges through the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for fiscal years 1993-94 and 1994-95. Each Redevelopment Agency throughout the State is required to pay an amount equal to approximately six (6) percent of the Agency's 1990-91 fiscal year net tax increment. The total payment for San Bernardino will be $817,610.95, which is in addition to any existing pass-through agreements. Any Agency funds, including Bond Proceeds, may be used for the payment to the Augmentation Fund. The Low/Moderate Housing Fund may also be used, however, only fifty (50) percent of the 1993-94 fiscal year contribution to the twenty (20) percent set-aside may be borrowed, with repayment to occur within ten (10) years. The use of the Low/Moderate Housing Fund may only occur if these funds are unobligated and are not currently in place in the Fund. Tax increment, due to obligations of the Agency, is insufficient to meet this payment to the Augmentation Fund. If the Agency cannot meet this payment, the Agency must make up the shortfall through a loan from the City or the County. Or, the County will be required to withhold the amount due from property taxes by May 15, 1994 in the event that the Agency fails to make the payment. Because of the reasons listed above, Bond Proceeds was determined to be the best source of Agency funds to use for payment to the Augmentation Fund, and May 10, 1994 is the deadline for the Agency to deposit the funds with the County Auditor for the fiscal year 1993-94. Staff recommends adoption of the form motion. KENNE H J. NDERSON, Executive Director Development Department ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KJH:BJL:1816A COMMISSION MEETING Meeting Date: 4/4/1994 Agenda Item Number: STATE OF CALIFORNIA PETE WILSON,Governor DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE E OF THE DIRECTOR E CAPITOL, ROOM 1145 SACRAMENTO,CA 95814-4998 j ? r t f October 1 , 1993 TO ALL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES AND THEIR LEGISLATIVE BODIES: The 1993 Budget Act and related legislation require virtually. every sector of California government to share in necessary state funding reductions. Chapter 68, Statutes of 1993, (SB 1135) requires redevelopment agencies to shift a total of $65 million in property tax revenues to K-12 schools and community colleges. It requires the Director of Finance to determine an amount for each redevelopment agency to be allocated to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) . It further requires the Director of Finance to notify each redevelopment agency and its legislative body of the amount determined. In accordance with this requirement, the attached document provides the amount determined for your redevelopment agency. If more than one project area exists for your agency, a detail of the amount is provided on a project area basis. Each agency must allocate the amount determined to the county auditor for deposit in the ERAF on or before May 10, 1994. If an agency determines that it will be unable to allocate the full amount required, it must enter into an agreement with its legislative body to fund the payment of the difference between the full amount required and the amount available for allocation by the agency. If an agency fails to transmit the full amount required, is precluded by court order from transmitting that amount, or is otherwise unable to meet its full obligation, Section 33682.5(e) of the Health and Safety Code requires the county auditor, by no "later than May 15, 1994, to transfer any amount necessary to meet the obligation determined for that agency from the legislative body's property tax allocation. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Pedro R. Reyes at (916) 445-6423. Sincerely, RUSSELL S.
