BACKGROUND: Each year prior to December 31, an Annual Report of Financial Transactions is prepared by the Finance Department, with input from the Economic Development and Housing Department. The purpose of the Report is: 1) to transmit to the State Controller’s Office the Agency’s financial statement information for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2011; and 2) to transmit to the State Department of Housing and Community Development the Agency’s low- and moderate-income housing activity statistics for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2011.

BACKGROUND: The Vineyard Creek Hotel owner has requested approval by the Agency to restructure the management entity of the hotel and conference center.

The hotel and conference center would continue to operate under the Hyatt flag as a first class facility.
