and between the CITY OF REDLANDS, AS SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE FORMER
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS, a public body corporate and
politic ("Agency"), and the CITY OF REDLANDS, a California municipal corporation ("City").
Agency and City are sometimes referred to in this Agreement individually as a "Party" and
collectively as the "Parties." This Agreement is entered into with reference to the following
recitals of fact ("Recitals") that Agency and City believe to be true, as of the date each Party
executes this Agreement:
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code section
33000 et seq.), the City Council of the City created the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Redlands.
B. On June 28, 2011, the State of California enacted Health and Safety Code section
34161 et seq. as part of the State's enactment of Assembly Bill IX 26 ("AB IX 26"),
immediately prohibiting further redevelopment activity by redevelopment agencies and
dissolving all redevelopment agencies in the State of California on October 1, 2011.
C. On July 18, 2011, a Petition for Writ of Mandate was filed in the Supreme Court
of the State of California in the matter of California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Ana
Matosantos, et al., Case No. S194861 which, among other things, challenged the
constitutionality of AB IX 26, on behalf of cities, counties and redevelopment agencies and
requested a stay of enforcement of AB IX 26, pending the Supreme Court's determination of the
constitutionality of AB I X 26.
D. On December 29, 2011, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in the above
referenced case which, among other things, upheld AB IX 26 and dissolved all redevelopment
agencies throughout the State of California, effective February 1, 2012.
E. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34173(d), the City of Redlands
elected to become the successor agency to the dissolved Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Redlands, confirmed by Resolution No. 7089 adopted on November 1, 2011.
F. On June 27, 2012, Assembly Bill 1484 ("AB 1484") was signed by the Governor
of California which, among other things, significantly modifies AB 1X 26.
G. On July 11, 2012 the Agency received a demand for payment in the amount of
$2,601,269 (the "Payment") from the County of San Bernardino Auditor-
Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector pursuant to Health and Safety Code section
3
34183.5(b)(2)(A), as added by AB 1484.
H. On July 12, 2012. the Agency made the Payment to the County of San Bernardino
Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector, using the $2,535,662 balance held in its Successor
1::Ca\dlini\Agrecinents',,SA—CitN-Loan Agreement re Enforceable Obligations FINALdoe
Agency Funds and a$65,607.37 loan from the City.
1. The Agency no longer has any fund balance in its Successor Agency Funds and
has enforceable obligations from July through December 2012, as set forth in its Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule for July through December 2012 ("ROPS") in the amount of Three
Million One Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($3,157,400) ("Loan
Amount").
J. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34173(h), the City may loan or grant
funds to the Agency for administrative costs, enforceable obligations, or project-related expenses
at the City's discretion.
K. It is in the best interest of the City and the Agency that the Agency pay the
enforceable obligations, which include $2,880,794 in bond principal and interest payments, as
default by the Agency could potentially affect the creditworthiness of the City and Agency.
L. Because the Agency has insufficient funds to make the payments required
pursuant to the ROPS out of existing Agency funds, the City Council has determined that the
City will loan the Loan Amount to the Agency to make these payments.
M. The Parties now desire to enter into this Agreement to memorialize the terms and
conditions of the City loan to the Agency for payment of enforceable obligations, as set forth in
the BOPS.
NOW,THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged
