SUCCESSOR AGENCY BOARD STAFF REPORT
Item No. 1.C
Meeting Date: December 20, 2022
Submitted to: Honorable Chair and Members of the Successor Agency Department: Finance
Staff Contact: Joseph Ware, Finance Manager
[email protected]
Item Title: Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024 Recommended Action:
Adopt a resolution approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
Summary:
The purpose of this agenda item is to review the ROPS submission procedure and to present the ROPS 2023-24 for the Lemon Grove Successor Agency Board consideration and approval.
The ROPS 2023-24 document includes the following:
• A summary detailing the amount requested;
• ROPS detail for the period July 1,2023-June 30, 2024; • Cash balances information; and
• A notes page.
Overall, the ROPS identifies a total of $2,089,981.06 in expenditures between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024.
Discussion:
Pursuant to redevelopment agency dissolution law, successor agencies must submit their annual Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules (ROPS) and administrative budgets to their countywide oversight boards for review and approval. Once the ROPS is approved by the oversight board, the successor agency submits the ROPS to the State Department of Finance (DOF) for final review and funding authorization. Administrative budgets do not require further review by DOF.
Today’s action requests approval of the ROPS for July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024 (ROPS 23-24) and the related administrative budget for the same period. Total enforceable obligations of $1,539,981.06, including an administrative budget of $55,000, and City Loan payments of $550,000, are eligible to be funded.
The following subsections provide information about the expenditures identified in the ROPS 2023-24.
Bond Debt Service (line 27 & 35):
• During the ROPS 2023-24 period, debt service payments are due for the 2014 and 2019 Tax Allocation Bonds.
In addition, reserve funds held by the bond trustee, US Bank, need to maintain a balance equal to the following interest debt service payment at all times. This debt service activity will be funded by $1,380,255.30 from the RPTTF and the remaining from reserve balances currently held by US Bank.
Miscellaneous:
In addition, the following items are identified in the ROPS 2023-24:
• (Line 14) Administrative Allowance ($55,000) – this reflects staff time and other administrative costs in administering the Successor Agency and is paid from RPTTF monies on a hierarchy basis. • (Line 16) City Loan ($1,963,496) – this is an accumulation of cash flow loans made to the Redevelopment Agency since its inception. The ROPS 23-24 is requesting annual repayment of $550,000. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34191.4(b)(3)(A), repayment can be equal to one-half of the increase between the ROPS residual passthrough distributed to the taxing entities in the preceding fiscal year and the ROPS residual pass-through amount distributed to taxing entities in the fiscal year 2012-13 base year. According to the repayment formula, the maximum repayment amount that may be authorized for ROPS 23-24 is the amount the Agency is requesting.
In total as of July 1, 2022, there are $25.9 million in outstanding Agency obligations. All of which will be funded with RPTTF. This includes bond debt service ($23.9 million), City loans to the former Agency ($2 million), and ongoing administrative costs ($55,000).

Item No. 3
Meeting Date: December 20, 2022
Submitted to: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Department: City Manager’s Office
Staff Contact: Lydia Romero, City Manager
Item Title: Mayor Pro Tem Rotation for Calendar Year 2023 Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution confirming the rotation of Council Member George Gastil to serve as Mayor Pro Tem commencing December 20, 2021 through December 19, 2023 and establishing the Mayor Pro Tem rotation schedule for the subsequent three years.
Summary: City of Lemon Grove Resolution No. 2649, attached, was adopted on July 16, 2006, establishes the policy to determine the rotation of the Mayor Pro Tem position among the City Council and establishes the next three years for the rotation.
Discussion: Each year, the City rotates its Mayor Pro Tem designee as described in Resolution 2649, adopted by the City Council on July 16, 2006, which established the rotation policy. During election years, Government Code Section 36801 states that following the declaration of election results and the installation of elected officials, the City Council chooses one of its members to serve as Mayor Pro Tem. During non-election years, the Mayor Pro Tem rotation occurs one year following the previous year’s rotation.
The City’s Mayor Pro Tem rotation policy is based on the three principles outlined below:
1. The rotation should follow the pattern established from the previous six years,
2. The Mayor Pro Tem should serve for approximately a one-year period, and
3. In the event that two or more Council Members have not served as Mayor Pro Tem and have equal tenure in office, the one who received the most votes in the previous election should be placed higher on the rotation list.
The following City Council Members have rotated in the Mayor Pro Tem position in the following order for the past six years: Racquel Vasquez (2015), George Gastil (2016), Jennifer Mendoza (2017), Jerry Jones (2018), David Arambula (2019), Jennifer Mendoza (2020) and Jerry Jones (2021 and 2022).
The following is the proposed rotation of Mayor Pro Tem for the next three terms as established by Resolution 2649:
December 2022 – December 2023 George Gastil
December 2023 – December 2024 Jennifer Mendoza
December 2024 – December 2025

Subject: Non-agenda Public Comment
Dear City Council Members,
Just wanted to let you know President Biden has proclaimed December 2022 as National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. The President urged all Americans to make responsible decisions and take appropriate measures to prevent impaired driving.
During the holiday season, many of us look forward to get-togethers with friends and family. Unfortunately, holidays can also be a dangerous time for alcohol and drug related traffic incidents especially with our young people.
Over 10,000 American lives are lost to drunk and drug-impaired driving each year, accounting for nearly a third of all traffic deaths. In 2019, some 11 percent of Americans drove under the influence, including a staggering 19.6 percent of people aged 21-25.
Because of impaired driving far too many families are left with their worlds changed forever. Far too many passengers and pedestrians see their lives destroyed by someone else’s bad decision.
We all need to work towards reducing substance use disorders, raising awareness of the dangers of impaired driving; and invest in policies that can help prevent crashes, injuries, and deaths.
I urge the CC to look for solutions that will reduce substance abuse and raise awareness within our communities on the dangers of impaired driving.
Thank you,
Barbara Gordon
