RESOLUTION TO APPROVE MINUTES - MAY 3, 2012 SPECIAL MEETING
Motion/Second (Chan, Ortiz) and unanimous to approve the minutes as
submitted.
3.
OVERVIEW OF AB1484
City Attorney Kern gave a presentation regarding how the changes to AB1484
affect the Oversight Board.
a. Changes to ROPS
i.
Must be adopted 90 days before the time frame they cover. The 3rd
ROPS must be submitted to DOF by September 1.
ii. Added penalties - the successor agency can be fined $10,000 per day
and have its administrative budget cut by 25 percent if ROPS are not
submitted on time.
iii. DOF review periods have been extended from ten to 40 business
days. This allows DOF much more time to review and respond to all
actions of the Oversight Board. There is a meet and confer process for
successor agencies to dispute a DOF determination.
b. Housing Asset List
i.
DOF required submittal by August 1. Staff compiled and submitted the
Housing Asset List to meet the deadline and it is being presented to
the Board at this meeting.
ii. The DOF has 30 days to object to any item on the Housing Asset List
and there is a meet and confer process for any disputes.",SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard/2012-08-27.pdf
SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard,2012-08-27,3,"Successor Agency Oversight Board
Minutes of Special Meeting, August 27, 2012
Page 2
c. Audits
i. There are a number of audits that are required under AB1484:
1) Due Diligence Review - Housing 20% funds. Successor
agencies must hire an independent outside auditor who is
approved by the County Auditor/Controller. DOF guidelines for
due diligence review are expected by August 31.The Housing
Audit must be completed by October 1, and have Oversight
Board approval by October 15. However, the audit cannot be
approved in one meeting; there has to be a public meeting five
days before the final action. If there are unencumbered funds
identified by the audit, a check releasing that money will be due
to DOF by November 28.
2) Due Diligence Review - Non-Housing 80% funds - Must be
completed by December 15, and have Oversight Board
approval by January 15. This will also be a two-meeting
approval process. If there are unencumbered assets uncovered
by the audit, those funds will be due to DOF by April 10. Unlike
ROPS, there is no financial penalty for each day the Review is
late; however, there is a trigger where Alameda's property or
sales tax could be used to make up the difference DOF believes
is owed.
3) The State Controller is conducting an independent audit of all
assets transferred after January 31, 2012, to see if they were
inappropriately transferred and if there should be a clawback.
This is a change from the original transfer date of January 31,
2011. Once the audit process is completed, the DOF can issue
a Finding of Completion. Once that finding is issued, the
successor agency will know that the assets left can be used for
the purposes intended. Within six months of the issuance of the
Finding of Completion, staff will prepare a long term property
management plan that will be brought to the Oversight Board for
its approval. Then we will begin to follow that plan with the
intention of maximizing the value of the assets.
d. The Oversight Board actions are now even more subject to DOF control:
everything has to be done by resolution and DOF has more added time to
review a board action.
e. There is now clarification in the statute that the Successor Agency is a
separate legal entity. The formation of this separate legal entity for Alameda
will be brought before the City Council in September.
Member Ortiz expressed concern that the Oversight Board does not have
separate legal counsel. The Successor Agency's interests may be different from the
interests the Oversight Board should be looking at. Two weeks ago in Oakland the
board's own attorney challenged what the successor agency was putting forward to",SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard/2012-08-27.pdf
SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard,2012-08-27,4,"Successor Agency Oversight Board
Minutes of Special Meeting, August 27, 2012
Page 3
them. City Attorney Kern responded that she would recommend that in order to save
money, independent counsel should only be brought in to resolve specific areas of
dispute between the taxing entities and the Successor Agency. Alameda's situation
may not be as complicated as Oakland's. There will be independent audits and final
review by DOF. Chair Russo agreed that this was a complex issue and
recommended that this item be placed on the agenda for a full discussion at a future
meeting. Members could bring their constituency counsel with them for this
discussion. The Chair recommended that City Attorney Kern consult other oversight
boards to see how they are handling this issue. Member Potter suggested that
members could come back with specific examples of concerns and potential areas
of conflict to help shape the discussion. The Chair stated that it would be better to
have this be a scoping discussion rather than trying to identify potential conflicts.
City Attorney Kern stated that she would discuss this with other agencies and bring
back her findings to the Board.
This item was submitted for information, only; no board action was requested.
4.
REVIEW OF HOUSING ASSET LIST
Mr. Doezema reported that the list, a requirement of AB1484, had been prepared
by the housing successor, the Alameda Housing Authority. It documents assets
transferred from the successor agency to the housing successor as of August 1, 2012,
the date of the list. DOF was provided with this list. DOF has 30 days to review the list
and object to any item. If DOF has no objections to any of the items, the housing items
are then protected from clawback to the successor agency.
Exhibit A lists real property. All the real property on this list consists of
affordability covenants. These are deed restrictions that limit occupancy of affordable
units to low- and moderate-income people. There are 95 of them. There was no other
property transferred other than deed restrictions.
A Board member noted that the date of the transfer is shown as February 12,
2012. The board did not have its first meeting until April - did the Board see this
information at that meeting? Mr. Doezema responded that it did not - this was a transfer
dictated by operation of law under ABX1 26. Housing assets went to the entity that
agreed to accept them.
A Board member asked if housing is treated differently. Mr. Doezema responded
yes. Board Member Ortiz asked if DOF is inclined to be more sympathetic to housing.
Mr. Doezema responded that the law provides for transfers of assets that utilize low-
and moderate-income housing funds. Member Potter stated that once this list is
approved by DOF, these assets are protected from clawback and it will be left to the
housing successor agencies to administer the affordable housing covenants pursuant to
redevelopment law. A Board member asked if the covenants were in perpetuity.
Member Potter explained that the covenants are for 59 years. When the homes are
sold, the covenants are reimposed for another 59 years, so in a way it's like perpetuity.
The Community Improvement Commission had no proceeds in this; there was no cash,
just a requirement to keep the covenant in place. In response to a Board member",SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard/2012-08-27.pdf
SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard,2012-08-27,5,"Successor Agency Oversight Board
Minutes of Special Meeting, August 27, 2012
Page 4
question regarding the possibility of buying out a covenant, Member Potter stated that
our covenants are not drafted that way.
Mr. Doezema continued his presentation. Exhibit B - Personal Property - not
applicable. Exhibit C - Encumbered Housing Funds for Enforceable Obligations (AUSD
affordable housing and Jack Capon Villa). Regarding the $4.6 million being held in trust
for AUSD affordable housing per the pass-through agreement, Mr. Doezema stated that
DOF has yet to determine if this is an enforceable obligation or a pass-through. If DOF
determines that this is not a housing asset that's encumbered, it could determine that
the money should be returned to the Successor Agency for disbursement to taxing
entities.
Exhibit D - Loans/Grants Receivables - these are deferred or forgivable loans
made in conjunction with the development of affordable housing projects. When and if
these loans are repaid to the housing successor, they would go back to the Housing
Authority for future affordable housing activities.
Exhibit G - Deferrals - these are two loan receivables (SERAF - BWIP/WECIP
and SERAF - APIP) for funds borrowed from the low-moderate housing fund. The
repayment would go to the housing successor. These items are also shown on the
ROPS.
This item was submitted for information, only; no Board action was requested.
5.
RESOLUTION APPROVING 3RD RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT
SCHEDULE (ROPS) - January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013
Mr. Doezema explained the latest changes to the ROPS from the prior period
ROPS. Motion/Second (Chan, Biggs) to pass the resolution. Motion unanimous
(Member Gerhard was absent.)
6.
SET UPCOMING MEETING SCHEDULE
Member Potter reported that meetings had been scheduled for October 4 and
October 11; however, the auditor has notified us that the audits will not be completed in
time for an October 1 meeting packet. She asked the members about their availability
for meetings on October 29 and November 8. The members indicated a preference for
meetings to start at 6:00 p.m. instead of 6:30 p.m. Member Potter will confirm dates
next week when she learns more about the audit schedule. The members indicated that
October 29 and November 8 would be acceptable reschedule dates if needed.
There is also a need to schedule dates for the 80% non-housing fund review.
The submittal deadline to DOF is January 15, 2013. Member Potter proposed a first
meeting on December 17 or 18 and the second meeting on January 7 or 8. The
members indicated a preference for December 17 and January 7. E-mail appointments
will be sent to the members.

the long term property management plan. Mr. Doezema of KMA stated that",SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard/2012-10-18.pdf

d. Public Comment Session on the Due Diligence Review of the
Low/Moderate-Income Housing Fund: Public Comment
Katherine Yuen of Maze & Associates made the presentation. AB 1484
requires two Due Diligence Reviews: Housing (20%) funds and Non-Housing
(80%) funds as part of the process to identify cash assets that can be
distributed to the taxing agencies. Ms. Yuen recapped highlights of the report
that was provided in the agenda packet. Member Ortiz inquired what period of
time did Maze use to get to June 30, 2012, and what kind of information went
into the calculations. She added that a source at the State DOF told her that
they wanted to see the period between 2009 and 2012. Ms. Yuen responded
that different reports in the review cover different time periods, but that DOF
would see the entire picture for the period of January 1, 2011 to June 1, 2012.
Member Ortiz stated concern that the Board did not have a legal analysis of
the auditor's findings. The Chair stated that the audit was prepared by an
independent, professional accounting firm. Member Potter stated that the
County had to approve the Successor Agency's choice of auditor. Ms. Yuen
stated that this was a Due Diligence Review and not an audit. Maze &
Associates followed a set of procedures provided by the State. The Chair
asked the Secretary if any public comment slips had been submitted and the
Secretary responded that there were none. Member Potter stated that this
item was being presented for public comment, only. The Board will be asked
to vote on the approval of this Due Diligence Review at its October 29, 2012
meeting.
5. PUBLIC COMMENT (non-agenda items)
6. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
a. October 12, 2012 Letter from Department of Finance regarding ROPS III
Mr. Doezema recapped the letter that was provided in the agenda packet
regarding ROPS III. Member Ortiz inquired as to what criteria were being
used by State DOF when it rejects items on the ROPS. Mr. Doezema
responded that there are ""red flag"" items and the easiest thing to do is for
DOF to deny as an. initial response. The Chair stated that the Meet and
Confer process would be the opportunity for the Successor Agency to show",SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard/2012-10-18.pdf
SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard,2012-10-18,4,"Minutes

DOF its reasons. He added that the DOF consultant in charge of this effort, a
former Alameda County Administrator, was reaching out to city managers to
talk about these issues and that he would be meeting with him on November
8. He stated that he would report back to the Board with his findings from this
meeting. Member Potter stated that DOF has been going after everyone
regarding Inclusionary Housing. She added that she had recently attended a
housing conference and she learned that HCD has no funds to administer the
successor housing agencies it is inheriting. Counsel stated she also attended
this same conference and learned that cities all over the state are filing
lawsuits related to inclusionary housing. Board Member McMahon inquired
if
Meet and Confers were being bundled. Member Potter responded that a Meet
and Confer could be scheduled for each separate ROPS schedule. Counsel
stated that Meet and Confers were being scheduled further out due to the
increased demand for the sessions. The concern is that ROPS III enforceable
obligations must be determined by January 2, 2013, in order to meet the
County Auditor's deadline for distribution of Redevelopment Property Tax
Trust Funds to the successor agencies. This item was presented for
information and discussion only. No Board action was requested.
7. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF
a. Staff update on Independent Counsel for Oversight Board
Counsel distributed copies of a sample RFQ to the Board Members. A formal
report regarding Oversight Board counsel will be submitted to the Board for its
consideration at the October 29 meeting.

1. CALL TO ORDER & ROLL CALL
The Vice Chair called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m., with the following Board
Members present: Vice Chair Biggs and Members Chan, McMahon, Ortiz, and
Potter. Board Members absent: Gerhard, and Russo. Board staff in attendance:
Assistant General Counsel Garrabrant-Sierra and Secretary Valeska.

3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS (none)
4. NEW BUSINESS
a. Resolution Approving the Due Diligence Review of the Low/Moderate-
Income Housing Fund and Authorizing the Transmittal Thereof to the
California Department of Finance: Action
(Resolution No. 12-08) The Vice Chair noted that the required public
comment session for the DDR had been held at the Board's October 18
meeting. Member Potter stated that City Controller Fred Marsh was in
attendance to answer any questions. As there were none, the Vice Chair
entertained a motion to adopt the Resolution. Motion and second (McMahon
and Ortiz) to adopt the Resolution. Motion passed unanimously (5-0-2).
b. Appoint an Oversight Board Subcommittee to Prepare a Request for
Qualifications for Outside Legal Counsel: Action
The Board's Assistant General Counsel (AGC) recapped the agenda report
and exhibits provided in the meeting packet. Member Ortiz stated that the
independent counsel for Oakland's Oversight Board reviews all its documents
and reports on potential impacts. Member Chan stated that San Leandro's
Oversight Board had recently gone through the interview process for
independent counsel. This counsel would only be called upon in cases of
potential conflict of interest. Member Chan stated that an association of
attorneys has formed for this purpose. San Leandro interviewed three
applicants from that attorney group and they were all well qualified.
The Vice Chair asked for volunteers for the subcommittee. Following general
discussion, the Board Members agreed that the general parameters for an
RFQ could be determined at this meeting without the need to form a
subcommittee. The Board Members agreed that Alameda's needs would be
more in line with San Leandro than a large city like Oakland, where the",SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard/2012-10-29.pdf

situation may be more complicated. Member Potter stated that she would
contact San Leandro to request a copy of its RFQ. The AGC stated that she
would have to distance herself from the RFQ process due to a possible
conflict of interest. Member Potter indicated that she and her staff would take
the responsibility of preparing the RFQ. Member Chan stated that the Board
should conduct the interviews.
Member Potter stated that a draft RFQ could be submitted for the Board's
approval at the December 17 meeting. The interviews could be scheduled in
March, as this would allow an adequate amount of time for responses to the
RFQ. Motion and second (Ortiz and Chan) to direct staff to bring the draft
RFQ to the Board's December 17 meeting. Motion passed unanimously.

4. NEW BUSINESS
a. Update Regarding the Alameda Theater/Parking Garage Property and the
Position of the Successor Agency with Regard to the March 2011 Transfer of the
Property from the Former Alameda Community Improvement Commission to the
City of Alameda: for information only
Mr. Ramiza made the presentation regarding the report in the agenda packet.
The audit conducted by the State Controller's Office (SCO) lasted one week. The
theater and parking garage project was presented as an integrated project: the rents
generated from the theater leases are needed to make payments on the HUD 108 loan
for the garage. The SCO auditor seemed to agree that the parking garage is a public
asset.
The HUD 108 loan is a liability associated with the overall project: if there is a
clawback by the State, the State could not cherry pick the assets - the liability would
have to go with it.
Mr. Ramiza stated that he was more concerned about the State Department of
Finance (DOF). He would like a message sent to SCO and the DOF that the Successor
Agency and City desire to work out an equitable solution.
Member Potter stated that if the State determines that the 2011 transfer was not
permitted, then the State may order that the properties be transferred back to the",SuccessorAgencyOversightBoard/2013-06-27.pdf

June 27, 2013
Successor Agency Oversight Board

Successor Agency and then placed on the Long Range Property Management Plan
(LRPMP).
Member McMahon asked why this should concern the Oversight Board. Counsel
responded that the Oversight Board must approve the LRPMP. In response to a
question from Member Ortiz, Oversight Board Counsel stated that the Oversight Board
could pass a Resolution stating a policy position on this matter.
Member Potter stated that the SCO office will issue a draft report and the
Successor Agency will have ten days to respond. The Oversight Board will be asked to
consider a resolution before the SCO issues a final report. Counsel stated that the
Oversight Board's resolution would be forwarded to the State. In response to a question
by Member Ortiz, Counsel stated that it would be best to wait and see what is in the
draft report before the Oversight Board adopts a resolution, but that timing concerns
may preclude that option.
Member McMahon stated that he needed to see what compelling community
interests are being met so a decision could be justified. Ms. Garrabrant-Sierra stated
that parking is a negotiated employee benefit that needs to be respected. (The parking
garage is used by City employees and, until recently, was also used by AUSD
employees.)
Mr. Ramiza explained the Successor Agency's compelling arguments:
The $19 million number cited by DOF as the value of the theater is not accurate.
This number reflects, among other costs, the cost of land acquisition, the detailed
historic restoration and relocation of tenants.
Theater lease revenues are needed to pay the HUD 108 loan for the parking
structure and other operation and maintenance costs of the project.
The theater is one of the most (if not the most) important historic building in the
Park Street Historic District. The historic integrity of the building could be
jeopardized if the property were to be transferred to a landlord other than the
City.
A lot of work went into the selection of Alameda Entertainment Associates and
they run the theater in accordance with specific use and operating covenants in
favor of City, including covenants relating to days/hours of operation,
maintenance of the historic auditorium as a single screen auditorium, and quality
of films (i.e. first-run movies).
The theater is a community asset and the City has reserved rights to use the
historic auditorium for community and civic uses.
The theater plays a pivotal role in the revitalization of the Park Street business
district. Ensuring the continued use and operation of the theatre in a manner
consistent with use and operating covenants in favor of City as described above

Member Ortiz asked about the HUD 108 loan third-party obligation. Mr. Ramiza
responded that the primary agreement for the HUD loan was with the City. The City
entered into a sub-recipient agreement with the former Community Improvement
Commission. If the State invalidates the sub-recipient agreement, the City would fight
that, as the City would then be responsible for the $7 million HUD loan.
Mr. Ramiza stated that the ideal outcome would be if the SCO agreed that the
City could keep the asset and DOF accepts that result. The next best thing would be to
achieve the same results through the LRPMP process working with the Oversight
Board, with DOF approving the Oversight Board's recommendation.
Member McMahon asked how long the Oversight Board had to do its work. Mr.
Ramiza responded that in 2016, all oversight boards will be folded into their respective
county's oversight board.
Member Potter stated that the LRPMP must be submitted by November 2013.
Mr. Ramiza stated that if the SCO recommends that the City can keep the assets, they
don't have to be listed in the LRPMP.
This item was presented for information and discussion, only; no Oversight Board
action was requested.
b. Determine the Date of the September Special Meeting: Action
The consensus of the Board was to schedule this meeting on Thursday,
September 26. The agenda will include the presentation of the ROPS for January -
June, 2014, and the Long Range Property Management Plan.

Long Range Property Management Plan Memo
Long Range Property Management Plan
Resolution - Long Range Property Management Plan
Mr. Doezema presented the highlights of the Long Range Property Management Plan
(LRPMP). The LRPMP addresses the Alameda Landing project, which is
encumbered by a Disposition and Development Agreement with Catellus (item no. 19
on the ROPS). The Target parcel has already been conveyed. The 11 remaining
parcels covered by the DDA will be retained by the Successor Agency until they are
conveyed to Catellus. Catellus is responsible for the infrastructure and demolition on
the site. These costs will be credited against the sale price. The land value will be
established at the time of the sale. The taxing entities will benefit when the property
becomes privately owned.
The LRPMP also addresses the remnant or ""bottle"" parcel located just west of the
College of Alameda. The parcel is proposed to be sold. Possible uses could include
expanded athletic uses by the College of Alameda or additional parking for the
Breakers apartments. Proceeds from the sale would be distributed to the taxing
entities.
Vice Chair Biggs inquired about the status of the parking garage. Member Potter
responded that it was not included in the LRPMP and the State could reject the Plan
for that reason. The State Controller's Office has not yet issued its final report. The
Oversight Board's resolution in support of the transfer of the theater and parking
garage assets to the City is being held by DOF for a 100-day review.
A motion was made by Elsa Ortiz, seconded by Mike McMahon, that this
resolution by adopted. The motion carried by an unanimous vote.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF
Member Potter referenced the October 29, 2013 letter from DOF disallowing
item no. 50 on ROPS 13-14B, which pertained to trash clean-up and fencing
done at the remnant parcel. The reason stated by DOF was that the Successor
Agency was not in a contract for property management services at the time the
work was done. A copy of this letter had been emailed to the members prior to
this meeting.
Member Potter stated that the Board will need to convene a special meeting in
February to review ROPS 14-15A, which is due to DOF in March. Other
agenda items could include discussion regarding approximately $800,000 in
unexpended bond proceeds, the repayment schedule for a City loan to the
former CIC for formation of the APIP project area, and repayment of the
SERAF loan.
