§ 34169. Until successor agencies are authorized pursuant to Part 1.85 (commencing with Se

Until successor agencies are authorized pursuant to Part 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170), redevelopment agencies shall do all of the following: (a) Continue to make all scheduled payments for enforceable obligations, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 34167. (b) Perform obligations required pursuant to any enforceable obligations, including, but not limited to, observing covenants for continuing disclosure obligations and those aimed at preserving the tax-exempt status of interest payable on any outstanding agency bonds. (c) Set aside or maintain reserves in the amount required by indentures, trust indentures, or similar documents governing the issuance of outstanding redevelopment agency bonds. (d) Consistent with the intent declared in subdivision (a) of Section 34167, preserve all assets, minimize all liabilities, and preserve all records of the redevelopment agency. (e) Cooperate with the successor agencies, if established pursuant to Part 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170), and provide all records and information necessary or desirable for audits, making of payments required by enforceable obligations, and performance of enforceable obligations by the successor agencies. (f) Take all reasonable measures to avoid triggering an event of default under any enforceable obligations as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 34167. (g) (1) Within 60 days of the effective date of this part, adopt an Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule that lists all of the obligations that are enforceable within the meaning of subdivision (d) of Section 34167 which includes the following information about each obligation: (A) The project name associated with the obligation. (B) The payee. (C) A short description of the nature of the work, product, service, facility, or other thing of value for which payment is to be made. (D) The amount of payments obligated to be made, by month, through December 2011. (2) Payment schedules for issued bonds may be aggregated, and payment schedules for payments to employees may be aggregated. This schedule shall be adopted at a public meeting and shall be posted on the agency’s Internet Web site or, if no Internet Web site exists, on the Internet Web site of the legislative body, if that body has an Internet Web site. The schedule may be amended at any public meeting of the agency. Amendments shall be posted to the Internet Web site for at least three business days before a payment may be made pursuant to an amendment. The Enforceable Obligation Payment Schedule shall be transmitted by mail or electronic means to the county auditor-controller, the Controller, and the Department of Finance. A notification providing the Internet Web site location of the posted schedule and notifications of any amendments shall suffice to meet this requirement. (h) Prepare a preliminary draft of the initial recognized obligation payment schedule, no later than September 30, 2011, and provide it to the successor agency, if a successor agency is established pursuant to Part 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170). (i) The Department of Finance may review a redevelopment agency action taken pursuant to subdivision (g) or (h). As such, all agency actions shall not be effective for three business days, pending a request for review by the department. Each agency shall designate an official to whom the department may make these requests and who shall provide the department with the telephone number and e-mail contact information for the purpose of communicating with the department pursuant to this subdivision. In the event that the department requests a review of a given agency action, the department shall have 10 days from the date of its request to approve the agency action or return it to the agency for reconsideration and this action shall not be effective until approved by the department. In the event that the department returns the agency action to the agency for reconsideration, the agency must resubmit the modified action for department approval and the modified action shall not become effective until approved by the department. This subdivision shall apply to a successor agency, if a successor agency is established pursuant to Part 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170), as a successor entity to a dissolved redevelopment agency, with respect to the preliminary draft of the initial recognized obligation payment schedule.
