Background<br />

On February 1, 2012, all redevelopment agencies in California were dissolved and the process for<br />

unwinding their financial affairs began. The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Reedley</strong> Redevelopment Agency had an active<br />

redevelopment and economic development operation, and an active affordable housing operation.<br />

When the Agency was suspended, the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Reedley</strong> elected to assume the Agency’s<br />

redevelopment and economic development obligations as the “Successor Agency”, and the lowmoderate<br />

housing activities to be governed by the newly created Housing Authority.<br />

Given the scope <strong>of</strong> the agencies’ funds, assets, and financial obligations, the unwinding process will<br />

take some time. Prior to dissolution, redevelopment agencies received tax increment in property<br />

tax revenues annually and had outstanding bonds, contracts, and loans. Over time, as these<br />

obligations are paid <strong>of</strong>f, schools and other local agencies will receive the property tax revenues<br />

formally distributed to RDAs.<br />

Funds 086 through 097 reflected the active financial information for the <strong>Reedley</strong><br />

Redevelopment Agency. On February 1, 2012 all assets and liabilities were transferred to the<br />

successor agency, <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Reedley</strong>, under the fund structure <strong>of</strong> 895, 896 and 897. Fund 895<br />

accounts for bond proceeds from the February 2011 Tax Allocation Bond Issue in the amount <strong>of</strong><br />

$8,825,000 uninsured with an A- rating. This issue defeased existing bonds and provided for<br />

unused bond proceeds <strong>of</strong> approximately $5 million to be used for capital projects. Fund 896<br />

accounts for all <strong>of</strong> the successor housing activities and Fund 897 is the retirement fund which<br />

handles the eventual close out <strong>of</strong> operations for all non-housing redevelopment activities.<br />

<strong>City</strong> staff have worked diligently to meet a multitude <strong>of</strong> deadlines set by the State Controller's Office,<br />

Department <strong>of</strong> Finance, and the County <strong>of</strong> Fresno.. California Health & Safety Code Section 34180<br />
