CONSENT CALENDAR 4.A.
DATE: December 16, 2025
TO: Chair and Members of the Successor Agency
FROM: Nalungo Conley, Acting Finance Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR JULY 1, 2026 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2027 ("ROPS 26-27")
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (“ROPS 26-27”).
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to State Health & Safety Code Section 34177, successor agencies to former redevelopment agencies are required to prepare and submit a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) to authorize debt service and other disbursements for the upcoming fiscal year. Successor agencies receive an allocation of available property tax increment from the County Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”) up to the amount of approved ROPS disbursements. The proposed Resolution approves $1,093,737 of RPTTF funding for the July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 ROPS reporting period.
Following consideration of ROPS 26-27 by the Successor Agency, ROPS 26-27 is scheduled for consideration by the Solano Consolidated Oversight Board to the Successor Agency in January 2026. The approved ROPS 26-27 is due to the State Department of Finance (DOF) by February 1, 2026.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In 2011, the Governor signed into law AB1X 26 (the “Dissolution Act”) which immediately suspended most activities of Redevelopment Agencies prior to their elimination effective October 1, 2011. Assembly Bill 1484 (“AB 1484”) was signed by the Governor in 2012, adding significant new or modified actions and deadlines.The Dissolution Act was further amended by SB 107 on September 22, 2015.
The Dissolution Act requires successor agencies to prepare a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) which sets forth the successor agency’s enforceable obligations and scheduled payments for such enforceable obligations for the upcoming ROPS reporting period. The ROPS is the base document used by the County Auditor-Controller (the “CAC”) in determining how much property tax increment revenue is needed to meet current Agency obligations and administrative expenses, and if any current residual tax revenue is available to distribute among local taxing entities. The ROPS are prepared by staff and submitted for consideration of approval by the Successor Agency Board and the Oversight Board. All ROPS are further subject to approval by the California Department of Finance (DOF) and to audit by the CAC.
DOF has created a specific format for the ROPS submission and provides required ROPS templates to successor agencies for completion. ROPS 26-27 is presented as Exhibit 1 to the proposed Resolution (Attachment 1).
FISCAL IMPACT
The Agency’s ROPS 26-27 payment requests total $1,133,517, as detailed below. These payments will be financed from RPTTF and other funds.
Date: December 16, 2025
Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR JULY 1, 2026 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2027 ("ROPS 26-27")
Bond Repayments and Fees (Items 30-31)
The Successor Agency continues annual debt service payment on 2001 bonds. These bonds paid for various infrastructure improvements. Along with related fees, $327,400 is proposed for scheduled 2026-27 debt service payments.
Administrative Costs (Item 33)
Pursuant to HSC Section 34171 (b), effective July 1, 2016, the administrative cost allowance will be equal to:
(i) up to 3% of the actual property tax received by the Successor Agency to make enforceable obligation payments during the preceding fiscal year reduced by the Successor Agency’s Administrative Allowance and sponsoring entity loan repayments in the preceding fiscal year; or (ii) not less than $250,000, unless that amount is reduced by the Oversight Board or by agreement with the Successor Agency (Section 34171(b)(3)).
The Administrative Allowance shall not exceed 50 percent of total Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) distributed to pay enforceable obligations in the preceding fiscal year. This formula would allow an Administrative Allowance of approximately $145,000.
The proposed administrative budget is presented as Attachment 2 and estimated to be $46,000 which is less than what the Dissolution Law allows. The City, as administrator of the Successor Agency, continues to incur administrative costs to unwind the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency and claims $46,000 to reimburse the City for its administrative support. The Agency will continue to evaluate its eligible administrative allowance and underlying work effort to support this draw on an annual basis.
Repayment of City Advances (Item 8)
ROPS 25-26 continues repayment of City/Agency post-1990 loans. Interest accrues at 3% simple interest, as provided in SB 107. The annual allowable loan repayment under the Dissolution Act is 50% of the growth in surplus tax increment since the 2012-13 base year. $760,117 is proposed for City loan repayments in the 2026-27 ROPS cycle, which will be the final payment for this debt.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.
