ABx1 26, adopted by the State of California in June 2011, eliminated redevelopment <br />agencies and voided certain transactions between the Redevelopment Agency and the City <br />that occurred after January 1, 2011. This action will transfer the 14 remaining parcels officially <br />held by the City back to the Successor Agency as required by law . Staff recommends <br />adoption of a City resolution and Successor Agency resolution to transfer non -public property <br />assets from the City to the Successor Agency . <br />BACKGROUND <br />On March 3, 2011, given the uncertainty regarding the future of redevelopment agencies, the <br />Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Leandro (Agency), to avoid losing all land and <br />improvements, transferred 21 properties from the Agency to the City of San Leandro (City) by <br />way of a Disposition and Development Agreement . The State of California’s passage of AB x 1 <br />26 in June 2011 and AB 1484 in June 2012 provided guidance for the disposal of <br />redevelopment agency assets and voided property transfer transactions between the <br />Redevelopment Agency and City that occurred after January 1, 2011. The City’s and <br />Successor Agency’s actions to date regarding these 21 parcels assumed that the March 2011 <br />transfer was invalid. <br />On September 17, 2012, the Successor Agency authorized the transfer of 14 of these 21 <br />parcels to the City due to their 1) being public purpose properties; or 2) because they were <br />transferred to the Agency by the City in anticipation of use in redevelopment projects and per <br />the transfer agreements, any revenue from these properties must be returned to the City. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 3/13/2013
