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 />
