The 2010-2011 Annual Report must contain five major components: an independent audit report, a fiscal statement for the year, a description of the Agency's activities affecting housing and displacement, a Statement of Indebtedness, and Agency Time and Financial Limits. Following receipt of these documents by the City Council, the report will be submitted to the State Controller's office pursuant to California Redevelopment Law (CRL). Audit Report The firm of Macias Gini & O'Connell, LLP has completed the Audit Report, with a separate opinion on compliance. The Executive Director of Finance and Management Services has reviewed the audit and separate opinion on compliance and has determined that financial accounting and State Controller's guidelines have been met. 19D-1 CRA Annual Report for FY 2010-2011 December 19, 2011 Page 2 2. Annual Report of Financial Transactions of Community Redevelopment Agencies The Annual Financial Report delineates the financial activities for all funds within the redevelopment fund. Additionally, the report documents the achievements completed during the fiscal year as a direct result of the activities of the Community Redevelopment Agency. 3. Housing and Community Development Report of Housing Activity of Community Redevelopment Agencies In addition to general Agency financial transactions, the Housing and Community Development Annual Report contains information regarding the low and moderate-income housing fund and a description of the effect of redevelopment activities on housing in general. 4. Annual Statement of Indebtedness The Annual Statement of Indebtedness is the annual report filed with the County Auditor describing Agency indebtedness and a reconciliation statement. 5. All Other Information In 2007, the State Legislature adopted SB437, which included a provision requiring all redevelopment agencies to incorporate specific information regarding time limits into the Annual Reports. The legislation requires the list of the following time limits: 1) The time limit for the commencement for eminent domain proceedings to acquire property within the project area. 2) The time limit for the establishment of loans, advances, and indebtedness to finance the redevelopment project. 3) The time limit for the effectiveness of the redevelopment plan. 4) The time limit to repay indebtedness with the proceeds of property taxes. In compliance with this legislation, the redevelopment time and financial limits are included in the Annual Report. In addition, Section 33080.1 of the CRL requires a Blight Report, a list of all loans $50,000 or more that are in default or non-compliance, and a description and nature of all properties owned and acquired by the Agency. The Health and Safety Code mandates that the Annual Report be received by the City Council and filed with the State Controller's office prior to December 31, 2011. 19D-2 CRA Annual Report for FY 2010-2011 December 19, 2011 Page 3 FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. a/YI Ncctdo ??h CAL(-) Nancy T.
