Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) FY2026-27 City Council Meeting
December 16, 2025
1 Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS)
The California Supreme Court ruled on the Dissolution Act (AB 1484) to dissolve all Redevelopment Agencies (RDAs) in California effective February 1, 2012.
AB 1484 established procedures for payment of legally enforceable obligation of the former RDAs by establishing Successor Agencies (SAs) through the annual submission of the ROPS to the State Department of Finance (DOF).
ROPS lists all expenditures required to be paid by the Successor Agency in the upcoming fiscal year. For Fiscal Year 2026-27, this amount is $13,086,714.
The Fiscal Year ROPS also includes a request for $10,823,050 for repayment of a loan from the City to the former RDA. The payment is required through a judgment issued by the California Supreme Court on February 17, 2023. The DOF concurred with the Court’s ruling in a letter dated May 19, 2023. 2 Recommended Action
