BACKGROUND On July 9, 1991, the City of Santa Clarita (City) and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clarita (Redevelopment Agency), entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, (Joint Powers Agreement) creating the Santa Clarita Public Financing Authority (Financing Authority), for the purpose of issuing bonds for financing and refinancing projects for lawful City purposes as authorized by Articles 1 through 4 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the California Government Code (Act). The Financing Authority has issued lease revenue bonds and participated in certificates of participation for the City. Page 1 PacketPg. 94 With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, the City Council opted to act as the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency and the Successor Agency became a de facto member of the Financing Authority (with the City as the other member). Many joint powers agencies which were created using former redevelopment agencies began to look to substitute or add other public agencies. On April 26, 2016, the City Council adopted a resolution forming a parking authority (Parking Authority), to replace the Successor Agency as a member of the Financing Authority and become a party to the Joint Powers Agreement. Staff recommends that the City Council, Parking Authority Board and Successor Agency Board each adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement to include the Parking Authority as a party to the Joint Powers Agreement and member of the Financing Authority, and to remove the Successor Agency as a party and member. The Successor Agency resolution is subject to the Oversight Board's approval by resolution which will occur subsequent to this meeting. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council, or Boards of the Parking Authority or Successor Agency. FISCAL IMPACT None.
