10.1 VOLUNTARY ALTERNATIVE REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
BACKGROUND: As part of the 2011-12 State budget bill, the California Legislature has recently enacted and the Governor has signed, companion bills AB 1X 26 and AB 1X 27, requiring that each redevelopment agency be dissolved unless the community that created it enacts an ordinance to participate in the Voluntary Alternative Redevelopment Program (VARP). Specifically, AB 1X 26 prohibits agencies from taking numerous actions, effective immediately and purportedly retroactively, and additionally provides that agencies are deemed to be dissolved as of October 1, 2011.
Enactment of the ordinance by the City will permit the City and Agency to comply with the Voluntary Alternative Redevelopment Program pursuant to Part 1.9 of Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code (Section 34193) in order to allow the continued existence and operation of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Rosa. By enacting the ordinance the City is authorized to pay annual contributions to locals schools and special districts as required pursuant to AB X1 27. In addition, the Agency would no longer be subject to dissolution under AB X1 26 and may immediately commence with normal redevelopment activities.
RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Economic Development and Housing recommends that the Redevelopment Agency, by motion, make a recommendation to the City Council that it adopt an ordinance determining that the City will comply with the Voluntary Alternative Redevelopment Program pursuant to Part 1.9 of Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code in order to permit the continued existence and operation of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Rosa.
