County Debt and Annual Tax Increment Study
In 1987,the City and RDA entered into the Horan Settlement Agreement with the Cou nty
of Los Angeles and various property owners.The Agreement required issuance of
$10,000,000 in County bond debt to finance landslide abatement activities in the Abalone
Cove area of the Agency.Soon after the bond issuance,the Agency Board approved
Resolution No.RDA 90-24.The resolution requires an annual tax increment study to
review the adequacy of tax increment revenues to satisfy any County debt obligations.In
accordance with the 1990 Board resolution,Staff has performed the FY1 0-11 annual tax
increment analysis and offers its report below.
In 1997,the RDA Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)agreeing to
restructure the $10,000,000 County bond.At that time,the RDA made a lump sum
payment of $4,545,000 and issued tax increment bonds for the balance of $5,455,000.Of
the $4,545,000 paid,$2,000,000 was provided from tax increment revenue accumulated in
the Debt Service Fund for retirement of the $10,000,000 County bond debt.The balance
of the payment was provided by a $1,545,000 loan to the Abalone Cove Fund from the
General Fund of the City and the use of $1,000,000 in Abalone Cove fund balance
reserves.
The terms of the MOU require the RDA to make scheduled tax increment bond principal
and interest payments through the year 2028.The MOU payment schedule requires semi-
annual graduated principal payments that began in FY04-05.The payments increase an
average of 2.5%each year until the scheduled payments are made in full.These debt
payments will be paid solely from the tax increment received by the RDA,and are recorded
as expenditures in the Debt Service Fund.
Excess tax increment revenue over the bond principal and interest payments noted above
is used to repay the $3,111,400 of deferred interest attributable to the original County

payments will be paid solely from the tax increment received by the RDA,and are recorded
as expenditures in the Debt Service Fund.
Excess tax increment revenue over the bond principal and interest payments noted above
is used to repay the $3,111,400 of deferred interest attributable to the original County

Page 3 of5
bonds paid off as part of the 1997 restructuring.The County and RDA have agreed to
allow the County to intercept (escrow)the available tax increment revenue until the
obligation owed the County is satisfied.In the event the debt owed the County is satisfied
prior to the end of the Agency's legislated ability to collect tax increment to repay debt in
2034,tax increment revenue will be available for repayment of loans made to the RDA by
the City.Proposed language for the Governor's January 2011 proposal to eliminate
redevelopment agencies has not been made available.At this time,Staff cannot
determine what affect the Governor's proposal will have on the RDA's ability to repay the
debt to the City;however,it appears as though the Governor's proposal should not affect
tax increment pledged to repay the RDA's debt to the County.
Since approval of the MOU,tax increment revenues have always exceeded the scheduled
interest and principal payments on the tax increment bonds.Based on the FY1 0-11 tax
increment estimates discussed in this report,Staff is confident that tax increment revenue
will exceed budget and fully satisfy payments due to the County in the coming year.
Although the custody of tax increment revenue remains with the County using the intercept
procedures,the money is an asset of the RDA until paid in accordance with the terms of
the MOU.Therefore,tax increment revenue earned and used to pay the interest and
principal on the tax increment bonds and the deferred interest debt continues to be
reported in the Debt Service Fund.As of June 30,2010,the Agency has accumulated
$338,461 of tax increment in excess of annual debt service payments,which will be applied
to the remaining $1,136,303 deferred interest component of the 1997 bond restructuring
($3,111,400 original deferred interest debt net of $1,975,097 excess tax increment applied
through June 30,2010).
City Loans
Landslide mitigation projects have also been financed by loans from the General Fund of
the City.The loans have always been made with the knowledge that the available RDA tax
increment revenue may not be sufficient to pay both the County debt and the City loans.
However,a loan accounting is maintained in order to provide a mechanism for the City to
receive some repayment should the available tax increment exceed the debt owed to the
County.Even if the loan mechanism did not exist,it would be necessary to finance any
additional projects with General Fund monies.
In recent years,additions to the City loans have been for administrative costs such as the
annual County fee to administer tax increment collection and remittance to the RDA,
payments to Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds mandated by the state,and the
City's annual cost of providing staff to administer the RDA.
DISCUSSION
It is important to understand that the FY1 0-11 midyear projections are based upon Staff's
analysis using trend comparisons with previous years and reports provided by the County.
In the following paragraphs,discussion and analysis about revenues and expenditures of
the RDA is presented.If no mention is made of certain revenue sources or program

the RDA is presented.If no mention is made of certain revenue sources or program

Page 4 of5
expenditures,it merely indicates that there is nothing significant to report at this time and
that anticipated results are not expected to materially deviate from the FY10-11 budget.
TAX INCREMENT REVENUE
Based on property tax billing information from the County,FY10-11 tax increment may
increase by 8.42%from FY09-10.However,the FY10-11 incremental assessed valuations
increased by 6.61 %.The FY10-11 budgeted tax increment is 3.1 %more than FY09-10
actual tax increment.Tax increment revenue has increased an average of about 8%
annually over the last 10 years.Based upon the 6.61 %increase in assessed valuations,
the tax increment revenue recorded in the Debt Service fund may exceed the budget by
about $30,400 and tax increment revenue in the Housing Set-Aside fund may exceed the
budget by about $7,600.As tax increment revenue is expected to exceed budgeted
amounts,no adjustments are requested at this time.
California Redevelopment law requires 20%of all gross tax increment be segregated in a
"housing set-aside"fund for the development of low and moderate income housing.
EXPENDITURES
Portuguese Bend Capital Projects Fund
FY10-11 expenditures budgeted within the Portuguese Bend Fund are entirely for
administrative costs,including the annual dues for the City's parcels in the Abalone Cove
Landslide Abatement District and the Klondike Canyon Landslide Abatement District.This
administrative budget includes $2,400 for legal fees.During FY1 0-11,the City Attorney's
office has been providing advice regarding redevelopment issues and Staff expects that
actual legal fees will exceed the budget.Staff recommends an additional appropriation of
$7,600.
Abalone Cove Capital Projects Fund
The remaining fund balance is available for landslide abatement capital projects within the
Abalone Cove area of the RDA project area.At this time,there are no appropriations of
the $6,233 estimated fund balance.
Debt Service Fund
As stated previously,the terms of the 1997 MOU with the County require the RDA to make
scheduled tax increment bond principal and interest payments through the year 2028.Per
the debt service schedule accompanying the 1997 MOU,FY10-11 principal and interest
payments are $85,000 and $260,375,respectively.In addition,the Debt Service Fund will
account for the FY10-11 payment of deferred interest debt in the amount of $337,701.
The Debt Service Fund acts as a pass through entity for recording accrued (unpaid)
interest on the loans between the RDA and the City.The estimated FY10-11 principal
addition to the City loan for prior year administrative costs is $346,483,which includes the
FY09-10 County property tax roll administrative fee of $16,358 and the FY09-10

$7,600.
Abalone Cove Capital Projects Fund
The remaining fund balance is available for landslide abatement capital projects within the
Abalone Cove area of the RDA project area.At this time,there are no appropriations of
the $6,233 estimated fund balance.
Debt Service Fund
As stated previously,the terms of the 1997 MOU with the County require the RDA to make

Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF)payment of $330,125
required by state mandate.The estimated accrued interest for FY10-11 is $141 ,200 for the
Abalone Cove project area and $474,700 for the Portuguese Bend project area.
Finally,the Debt Service Fund accounts for the.pass-through of 17%of RDA tax increment
to Los Angeles County Fire Protection District.The pass-through is an expenditure of the
Debt Service Fund.
The FY10-11 budget is adequate for each of these expenditures.
Housing Set-Aside Fund
The FY1 0-11 budget includes an appropriation to complete the funding commitment for the
RDA's construction loan to the Mirandela Senior Housing Project.Consistent with the
Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA)approved by the Agency Board on March
17,2009,the RDA is providing $3,600,000 of construction financing to AMCAL Mirandela
Fund,L.P.Of that amount,$3,108,546 was expended in FY09-10.Staff expects that the
remaining amount of the construction loan will be disbursed during FY10-11.The FY10-11
budget is adequate for the remaining expenditure.
