Agencies will be dissolved and replaced with Successor Agencies responsible for winding down

an opportunity to become the Successor Agency for the housing functions previously held by the
Redevelopment Agency. Additionally, the Redevelopment Agency adopted an Enforceable
Obligation Payment Schedule (EOPS) on August 23, 2011. As a result of the Supreme Court's
decision and the subsequent deadline extensions, it becomes necessary to adopt an amended
EOPS.
