EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The attached Summary Check Register lists check numbers 000532 through 000534 in the total amount of $19,544.30. Check number 000532 is a reimbursement to the City for expenses paid by the City on behalf of the Community Financing Authority. Check numbers 000533 through 000534 are payments associated with the Kincaid’s Restaurant building. Check 000533 is a payment to the City for quarterly sewer fees and check 00534 is a payment to the Los Angeles County Tax Collector for possessory interest property taxes
BACKGROUND
The Redondo Beach Public Financing Authority (“PFA”), a joint powers authority, was formed on June 25, 1996, to provide financing for capital improvement projects. The former Redevelopment Agency of the City Redondo Beach, now known as the Successor Agency (“Agency”), joined with the City to form the PFA. The PFA operated rental property and issued bonds to provide funds for public capital improvements. The PFA has the same governing board as the City, which also performs all accounting and administrative functions for the PFA. With the elimination of the City’s Redevelopment Agency, the Public Financing Authority has been renamed the Community Financing Authority (“CFA”).
In 1997, the City leased the Pier pad known as 500 Fisherman’s Wharf to the PFA. The PFA leased the site and acts as building owner and landlord to its tenant, RUI One Corp. (“RUI” dba Kincaid’s). In negotiating the lease, the City was to own the building, but did not have the funding available to build the building. RUI had the ability to build the restaurant building at a lower cost than the City, and the PFA was able to obtain a loan to purchase the building. Thus, RUI built the restaurant building and the PFA utilized loan funds to purchase the building from RUI at completion.
Administrative Report
Administrative Report February 6, 2024

Per the lease agreement, the City is responsible for the cost of monthly service costs for water, sewer, and trash; possessory interest taxes; common area expenses as defined; and the repairs to the structural portions of the Building. On a monthly basis, the City is reimbursed for such expenses by the CFA.
The payment to the City of Redondo Beach on check number 000532 in the amount of $5,647.66 is for the reimbursement of January 2024 expenditures made by the City on the Community Financing Authority’s behalf.
The payment to the City of Redondo Beach on check number 000533 in the amount of $677.63 is for the October through December 2023 sewer fee in connection with the ownership of the Kincaid’s Restaurant building.
