POSSIBLE ACTION TO BE

TAKEN

The Atwater City Council held a Financial Issues Workshop on

January 5, 2017

The meeting was facilitated by Carol Whiteside with California

Strategies LLC.

The Purpose was to;

Provide accurate information on the financial situation

Receive information on departmental needs and issues

Review issues that contributed to the current situation

Collect ideas and options to improve the financial condition

FINANCIAL ISSUES WORKSHOP

Several fund models showing the impacts of some

larger possible decisions were used to project where

funds would be over a five year term.

The models were intended to provide a broad picture

but also show the magnitude of some specific items.

They included CALPERS Restructuring vs. no

restructure, retaining Furloughs vs. eliminating, and

City – County Property Tax Sharing Agreement.

FUND MODELS & NOTES

Five total models shown for the General Fund

Only one model showed a positive Fund Balance by

2020-21 it included retaining furloughs in non public

safety areas, restructuring CALPERS, restructuring

the City – County Property Tax Sharing Agreement,

and maintaining current staffing – including keeping

two current director positions vacant

All models and full presentation are located on City Web Site

FUND MODELS & NOTES

Cost to Eliminate Furloughs = $568,118 – projected

over next 5 years

Savings from CALPERS Re-Structuring = $3.4M –

over next 5 years

All Budgeted Revenues Must Be Collected – can’t

absorb additional losses

General Fund Cannot Support Additional Costs

Increased Staffing

Coverage of Other Fund Shortfalls

NOTES FROM FINANCIAL ADVISORS

This plan is intended to set policy as well as provide guidance and direction.

Implementation of the actions will be done based on requirements specific to the action. That may include City Council approvals, City Manager or Department responsibility, etc. Subsequent actions will be taken as necessary.

SIDE LETTER AGREEMENTATWATER POLICE OFFCIE ASSOCIATION ITHE APOA}

RECOMMENDATION:It is recommended that the City Council consider:

Adopting Resolution No. 2934-17 ratifying Side Letter of Agreement with AtwaterPolice Officers Association (the APOA) and authorizing and directing the CityManager to execute the agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, onbehalf of the City.

BACKGROUND:The City of Atwater and the Atwater Police Officers Association entered into its mostrecent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on March 10, 2016. The term of thecurrent MOU expires on June 30,2017.

One substantive change in the 2016 MOU relates to Adicle 7: "Work Week andSchedule," Section 7.2.1: "Sworn Members." This section states "Sworn Members haveagreed to an alternate work schedule using a 12 hour plan. The plan will include thefollowing schedule: for each fourteen (14) day period - the first week, the member willwork three (3) days of twelve (12) hours each and one (1) day of eight (8) hours, andthe second week, the memberwill work three (3) days of twelve (12) hours each." Thealternate work schedule went into effect on July 28,2016.

ANALYSIS:On December 8, 2016, members of the APOA advised the City that the alternate workschedule using a twelve (12) hour plan is causing significant officer safety concerns.Said concerns were specifically due to low staffing levels as a result of separations andextended leaves. On December 9, 2016, staff sent a request to the APOA to reopen theMOU pursuant to Atticle 22, Section D.

The City's negotiating team met with APOA representatives on December 21,2016 andDecember 29,2016 to address scheduling issues. On December 29,2016, the City andthe APOA tentatively reached an agreement to temporarily transition away from twelve(12) hour shifts in times of low staffing levels, The Side Letter Agreement, attached asExhibit "A" to the resolution, defines the work scheduled based on the number ofavailable personnel. The APOA and the City are satísfied that defining the workschedule based on available personnel will resolve the safety issues that are occurringdue to low staffing levels. The APOA voted to ratify the Side Letter Agreement onJanuary 17,2017.

RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET FY 2017-18

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Atwater take the following action:

Adopt Successor Agency Resolution No. 2017-01 adopting the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule 2017-18 for the July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 period and adopting the Administrative Budget for Fiscal Year 2017-18.

BACKGROUND: On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court issued its decision in CRA v. Matosantos, upholding ABx1 26, which dissolves all redevelopment agencies in California, and overturning ABx1 27, the “voluntary alternative redevelopment program.” With the voluntary redevelopment program provided for in ABx1 27 having been ruled unconstitutional by the Court, all California redevelopment agencies were dissolved on February 1, 2012. As of February 1, 2012, redevelopment agencies throughout the State ceased to exist. Successor Agencies are responsible for winding down the affairs of their respective now-dissolved redevelopment agencies. The City of Atwater is acting as the Successor Agency to manage and curtail the operation of the dissolved Atwater Redevelopment Agency. As Successor Agency, the City is responsible for all of the assets, properties, contracts, leases, obligations, and records of the former Redevelopment Agency. For the Successor Agency to continue paying obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency, ABx1 26 requires the Successor Agency to prepare an annual Recognized Payment Obligation Schedule (“ROPS”) setting forth the Successor Agency’s payment obligations for two six-month periods. The ROPS shall include any bonds, loans, payments required by the federal government, contracts, costs associated with Disposition and Development Agreements, and other similar obligations to third parties. ANALYSIS: Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule HSC Section 34177(l) requires the Successor Agency to prepare a ROPS showing all the obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency and the sources of funds for repaying obligations. The 11th ROPS, covering the period July 1, 2017 through June 30,

Agenda Report – ROPS 2017-18 & Administrative Budget Page 2 2018 (“17-18 period”), must be approved by the Oversight Board and sent to the California State Department of Finance (“DOF”) and the County Auditor-Controller no later than February 1, 2017. The Successor Agency may face a fine of $10,000 per day for ROPS submitted after this deadline. The items on the ROPS are substantially the same as those included on ROPS 16-17. In summary, the Successor Agency requests a total of $1,296,698 from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF,” the fund composed of property taxes distributed by the County Auditor-Controller to fund ROPS obligations) and proposes to spend $4,896 of interest and rent revenue accrued during previous periods for obligations in the 17-18 period. The obligations listed on the ROPS include funding for the following:

Bond Debt Service Costs, Contracts for bond administration and disclosure services, Successor Agency Employee Costs - Administrative Costs, and Implementation of the Property Management Plan Disposition Activities.

Administrative Budget HSC Section 34177(j) requires the Successor Agency to prepare an Administrative Budget and submit it to the Oversight Board for approval. The Successor Agency anticipates needing the entire $250,000 minimum annual administration allocation described in HSC Section 34171 (b). SERAF Loan Repayment The Successor Agency maintains a SERAF loan owed to the housing successor agency. SERAF loan payments in each fiscal year are limited to one half of the difference between the previous fiscal year’s residual revenue and the fiscal year 2012-13 residual revenue. Residual revenue is the amount of RPTTF revenue—property taxes distributed by the County Auditor-Controller—available after deducting from gross revenue the following:

County Auditor-Controller’s and State Controller’s Office administrative fees, pass through payments, and the amount approved by DOF to pay enforceable obligations.

The Successor Agency’s residual revenue equaled $471,826 in fiscal year 2012-13. Based on residual revenue for recent years not exceeding $400,000 and the formula described above, the Successor Agency does not expect to be able to make a SERAF loan payment until there is significant growth in RPTTF revenue, which may take several years.

Agenda Report – ROPS 2017-18 & Administrative Budget Page 3 FISCAL IMPACT: Adoption and transmittal of the ROPS are necessary to receive money from the RPTTF to fund the Successor Agency’s financial obligations from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. CONCLUSION: This item is submitted for Successor Agency consideration and possible action. The Oversight Board will consider the 2017-18 ROPS and related administrative budget at a Special Meeting scheduled for the January 25, 2017 meeting. Respectfully submitted,

Scott McBride Interim City Manager - Community Development Director City of Atwater

AUTHORIZE A CONTRACT WITH RSG INC. FOR SUCCESSOR AGENCY CONSTULTING SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017-18

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Atwater take the following actions;

Approve proposal for professional services with Rosenow Spevacek Group Inc. (RSG) to perform services to the Successor Agency to the Atwater Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency) for the Fiscal Year 2017-18, in a form to be approved by the City Attorney; and

Transmit the consulting services proposal to the Oversight Board for their consideration and possible action.

BACKGROUND: Since the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, the Successor Agency has used the services of RSG to satisfy its requirements and to plan for the future under Redevelopment dissolution. RSG has submitted a proposal for Successor Agency consulting services, (Exhibit A), to continue providing these services during Fiscal Year 2017-18. RSG has been instrumental in assisting the City in obtaining administrative funds each year. These funds typically include approximately $175,000 ttransferred to the General Fund to provide for the on-going services in support of the former redevelopment agency. They assisted the city in being able to access and utilize former agency bond funds to complete two capital improvement projects, Atwater Blvd. – Winton Way and Broadway Ave. They have also assisted in the preparation of a Property Management Plan which has recently allowed the City to retain two Downtown Parking Lots for public use. ANALYSIS: Requirements and Planning As described in RSG’s proposal, the Successor Agency will need to complete and submit a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) for approval by the Oversight Board (OB) and State Department of Finance (DOF) for the 2018-2019 fiscal year as it has since the dissolution of the former redevelopment agency Given RSG’s

Agenda Report – Professional Services for RSG Inc. Page 2 assistance in submitting previous ROPS for the Successor Agency, RSG is well positioned to assist with the next ROPS efficiently and effectively. RSG also has experience representing successor agencies in the Meet and Confer process used to resolve items of dispute between successor agencies and DOF. Should such representation be necessary for the Successor Agency, RSG will assist in dispute resolution. The Successor Agency has begun the disposition process for its real property as part of the Long Range Property Management Plan (“LRPMP”). RSG helped to prepare the LRPMP, to revise the LRPMP per DOF’s comments, and to prepare LRPMP disposition procedures. Therefore, RSG is well positioned to assist the Successor Agency with continued guidance for property disposition. Over the next fiscal year two commercial properties are likely to be disposed of, consistent with the adopted plan and with oversight by the OB. RSG will also assist the Successor Agency to plan for the future. By preparing and providing a long-term cash flow, RSG will anticipate financial problems before they occur and work with the Successor Agency to plan accordingly to prevent those problems and to use anticipated revenues most efficiently. RSG’s analysis and understanding of Redevelopment dissolution legislation will continue to help guide the Successor Agency through the dissolution process. Administrative Budget HSC Section 34177(j) requires the Successor Agency to prepare an Administrative Budget and submit it to the OB for approval. The Successor Agency anticipates needing the entire $250,000 minimum annual administration allocation described in HSC Section 34171(b). The administrative budget includes$25,000 of the administrative budget allocated for RSG consulting services. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of RSG’s proposal for Successor Agency consulting services for Fiscal Year 2015-16 will lead to the commitment of $25,000 of the Successor Agency’s administrative budget that has been allocated for such purpose. The administrative budget is pending approval by the Oversight Board and DOF. If approved all items will be incorporated into the City’s Budget for FY 2017-18. CONCLUSION: This item is submitted for Successor Agency consideration and possible action. The Oversight Board is scheduled to review these items at Special Meeting scheduled for the January 25, 2017. Respectfully submitted,

PROPOSAL FOR SUCCESSOR AGENCY CONSULTING SERVICES, FISCAL YEAR 2017-18

December 15, 2016 Via Electronic Mail Scott McBride, Director of Economic Development & Special Projects CITY OF ATWATER 750 Bellevue Road Atwater, CA 95301 PROPOSAL FOR SUCCESSOR AGENCY CONSULTING SERVICES, FISCAL YEAR 2017-18 Dear Mr. McBride: RSG is pleased to present this proposed scope of work and budget to provide the City of Atwater (“City”) and the Successor Agency to the Atwater Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”) with continued administrative services related to Assembly Bill x1 26 (“ABx1 26”), Assembly Bill 1484 (“AB 1484”), and Senate Bill 107 (“SB 107”). Our role would be to provide technical, management, and administrative services to enable staff to wind down the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency, meet ongoing reporting requirements, conduct financial and strategic planning, and provide other services as directed by staff. Specific assignments may include but are not limited to the following:

Financial Planning and Transition Services including advising on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) and Administrative Budget

Property Disposition Strategic Planning and Implementation Organizational Structuring Project Advisory Services Project Management Services Meetings of the Oversight Board Meetings, Agenda, and Staff Report Assistance Monitoring of Legal Requirements and Covenants Financial Advisory Services Legislative Analysis Taxing Entity Consultations Others Services as Designated

SCOPE OF SERVICES RSG has specifically identified the following tasks that Staff will need to consider in the near-term:

Scott McBride, Director of Economic Development & Special Projects CITY OF ATWATER December 15, 2016 Page 2 Task 1 – Optional Amendment of ROPS 17-18 (July 2017 through June 2018), Preparation of Successor Agency ROPS 18-19 (July 2018 through June 2019), and Preparation of the 2018-19 Successor Agency Administrative Budget The ROPS is prepared on an annual basis. After the annual ROPS is approved, successor agencies are allowed to submit a revised ROPS to reduce requested amounts for approved items in the second half of each fiscal year. This revised ROPS is due to the Department of Finance no later than October 1. RSG does not anticipate the Successor Agency needing to amend its ROPS, but will provide this service if necessary.

RSG will prepare a draft of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules (“ROPS”) due in Fiscal Year 2017-18 pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34177. This ROPS will cover the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. The ROPS will include a detailed list of anticipated enforceable obligations for the ensuing two six-month periods and a detailed summary of fund balances. RSG will prepare the ROPS to address new requirements imposed by new legislation, if any. RSG will also include a Successor Agency administrative budget for Fiscal Year 2018-19 as in previous years.

The ROPS 18-19 must be approved by the Oversight Board and submitted to the State Department of Finance (“DOF”) and Merced County Auditor-Controller’s office by February 1, 2018. Health & Safety Code Section 34177(m)(2) institutes a $10,000 per day penalty for failure to submit the ROPS by the deadline. Furthermore, Section 34177(m) states that if a Successor Agency has not submitted a ROPS within 10 days of the due date, the maximum administrative cost allowance for the period covered by the ROPS will be reduced by 25%.

Task 2 – Long-Term Cash Flow RSG will assist the Successor Agency to plan for the future. By preparing and providing a long-term cash flow summarizing ROPS periods to date and projecting revenues and expenditures through Fiscal Year 2025-26, RSG will anticipate financial problems before they occur and work with the Successor Agency to plan accordingly to prevent those problems and to use anticipated revenues most efficiently. RSG’s analysis and understanding of Redevelopment dissolution legislation will offer the Successor Agency insight on the best course of action in continuing with the dissolution process. Task 3 – Property Disposition Procedures/Activities To satisfy the requirements of Section 34191.5 of AB 1484, RSG worked with the Successor Agency to prepare a Long Range Property Management Plan (“LRPMP”) addressing the disposition and use of real property owned by the former Redevelopment Agency. The Successor Agency and the Oversight Board approved the LRPMP and submitted it to DOF on November 20, 2013. After receiving comments from DOF, the Successor Agency revised the LRPMP accordingly. The Oversight Board approved the revised LRPMP on April 21, 2014. DOF did the same on May 29, 2014. SB 107 allows successor agencies with an approved LRPMP to submit an amended LRPMP to change the disposition of qualifying parking lots to be retained by the City. Qualifying parking lots must be primarily used for public parking and not have revenues exceed reasonable maintenance costs. The Successor Agency amended its LRPMP accordingly and received Oversight Board approval on December 21, 2015 and DOF approval on January 29, 2016. RSG prepared Disposition Procedures to guide disposition of the former Redevelopment Agency properties that will not be retained for governmental use pursuant to the DOF-approved LRPMP. The Successor Agency and the Oversight Board reviewed and formally approved the Disposition Procedures in August 2014. RSG has begun assisting the Successor Agency to implement disposition activities.

Scott McBride, Director of Economic Development & Special Projects CITY OF ATWATER December 15, 2016 Page 3 The Successor Agency has selected an appraiser to identify the current market value of the properties. RSG will continue to assist as needed, including but not limited to, drafting resolutions and staff reports to get approval on the market values as minimum sale prices from the Oversight Board and DOF, deciding on a disposition method, preparing a marketing strategy, reaching out to potential buyers, and reviewing offers. The cost of these activities may be funded from sale proceeds resulting from disposition and/or as enforceable obligations on the ROPS, separate from administrative expenses.

Task 4 – Analysis of Future Legislation RSG excels at analyzing legislation and quickly identifying the fiscal and procedural implications for local agencies. With long-term involvement in the League of California Cities, the California Association for Local Economic Development, the California Association of Local Agency Formation Commissions, and the former California Redevelopment Association, RSG has developed expertise in helping our clients navigate complex legislation. RSG staff keeps track of legislative developments and their legal interpretations as they occur, ensuring that staff members understand new legislation and can guide the City of Atwater through the complicated legal framework of Redevelopment dissolution. We can meet with the Successor Agency to review the ramifications of proposed or enacted changes and explain the immediate and future impacts to the Successor Agency and affected taxing agencies. Task 5 – Participation in Department of Finance and County Auditor-Controller meetings Given the complexities of Redevelopment dissolution, issues may arise requiring discussions and negotiations with DOF and Merced County. RSG has developed a strong relationship with DOF and Merced County staff, which has helped the Successor Agency avoid negotiations during the most recent periods. If necessary, however, RSG will guide the Successor Agency and provide its expert advice in dealing with Meet and Confer requests and other steps in the process of appealing decisions. This will help Atwater to be well represented and receive fair treatment in interactions with DOF and the County.

PROJECT TEAM To provide the best, most transparent services, RSG dedicates at least one Principal and a Project Manager to each project and creates a core group of people that works with each client on a consistent basis throughout all stages of the assignment. We employ a passionate and talented team of associates and analysts, who blend an understanding of each client’s situation with our expertise in researching,

analyzing, modeling, and ultimately developing recommendations and results.

Ms. Tara Matthews will assume the role of Principal-in-Charge for this engagement. Ms. Matthews will be assisted by Mr. Dima Galkin, Associate and Project Manager, and Brett Poirier, Analyst. Ms. Matthews, will be the primary contact for this engagement. Additionally, other RSG staff may be assigned as needed. Staff resumes can be found on our company website under the following link: www.webrsg.com/team. FEES Our services for this engagement would be charged on a time-and-materials basis. RSG does not charge clients for travel or mileage (except direct costs related to field work/surveys), parking, standard telephone/fax expenses, general postage, or incidental copies. However, we do charge for messenger services, overnight shipping/express mail costs, and teleconferencing services. Any third party data required may also be charged to the client; typical examples include copies of the equalized assessment roll and CoStar Market data. We also charge for copies of reports, documents, notices, and support material in excess of five (5) copies. These costs are charged back at the actual expense plus a 10% surcharge.

Scott McBride, Director of Economic Development & Special Projects CITY OF ATWATER December 15, 2016 Page 4 RSG issues monthly invoices payable upon receipt, unless otherwise agreed upon in advance. Invoices identify tasks completed to date, hours expended, and the hourly rate. HOURLY BILLING RATES:

Principal/Director $ 235 Senior Associate 180 Associate 160 Senior Analyst 135 Analyst 125 Research Assistant 110 Technician 80 Clerical 60 Reimbursable Expenses Cost plus 10%

We will provide these services on a time-and-materials basis, with a not to exceed amount of $25,000 to undertake these assignments for the City and Successor Agency. The scope of work in this proposal qualifies as successor agency administrative activities eligible to be funded as part of the ROPS. The Successor Agency, the Oversight Board, and DOF will review the aforementioned amount as part of the Fiscal Year 2017-18 administrative budget for the Successor Agency. We appreciate the opportunity to submit our proposal. If this proposal is acceptable as written, please sign where indicated and return to our office at your earliest convenience. Thank you for the opportunity to assist the City. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, RSG, INC.
