FY 2018-19 and 2019-20 Adopted Operating and CIP Budget

City of Morgan Hill Acting as 250 the Successor Agency of the Morgan Hill Redevelopment Agency Division Description The Morgan Hill Redevelopment Agency was dissolved by State law on February 1, 2012 after nearly 40 years of operation. In order to meet the Enforceable Obligations of the former RDA and to responsibly wind down the remaining activities, the City has elected to become the Successor Agency. Most of the actions of the Successor Agency are subject to approval by a seven person Oversight Board; which, in turn, has its actions reviewed by the California Department of Finance (DOF). Commencing July 1, 2018, all Oversight Boards for the various former redevelopment agencies in the County of Santa Clara will be consolidated into a single county-wide Oversight Board to be staffed by auditor-controller, by another county entity, or by a city selected by the county auditor-controller. Retired Obligations Accounts for staff and some consultant costs needed to deliver and implement the former RDA’s enforceable obligations that are “non housing” related; first the Oversight Board, and then the DOF must approve these expenses in the ROPS before the County Auditor-Controller can distribute former tax increment to the City as successor agency to make the actual payments. Such costs have declined as the Enforceable Obligations are discharged over time. Administration Accounts for the costs of winding down the RDA; subject to an Administrative Cost Allowance which, in FY 18-20 Biennial Budget will be capped at $250,000 annually or 3% of the amount of property tax needed to meet the ROPS. The Administrative Budget must be reviewed and approved by the Oversight Board each annual ROPS. The amounts budgeted reflect management’s estimate of the full year’s costs. Debt Service Administration Accounts for the costs of paying debt service and related costs on the outstanding tax exempt and taxable bond issues, which in December 2013, refunded at a fixed interest rate. These costs will be included in each annual ROPS to be approved by the Oversight Board and for distribution by the County Auditor-Controller on January 2 of the succeeding year—all in order to fully fund the trust indenture (i.e., pay an entire calendar year’s worth of debt service) at the beginning of the year. The Budget for the Successor Agency includes three program areas as outlined in the following pages:

Delivery and Implementation of Enforceable Obligations The budget amounts for each of the three areas represent the amounts that will be recommended for approval by the Board over the next two years.
