3 The City and the Successor Agency City and County. The City of San Leandro (the "City"), which comprises approximately 15.5 square miles, is located in central Alameda County (the "County"), approximately 20 miles southeast of San Francisco and 35 miles north of San Jose. The City is a diversified community with residential, commercial and industrial development within the City. The City is served by Interstate 880 and Interstate 580, connecting freeways to Highway 101 and Interstate 5 which run north/south through California. See “APPENDIX C – Supplemental Information – City of San Leandro” for additional information on the City and the County. Former Agency. The Former Agency was a redevelopment agency with all of the powers vested in such entities under the Community Redevelopment Law (which is referred to in this Official Statement as the “Redevelopment Law”). The City Council of the City was the governing board of the Former Agency. Dissolution Act. On June 29, 2011, Assembly Bill No. 26 (“AB 1X 26”) was enacted together with a companion bill, Assembly Bill No. 27 (“AB 1X 27”). The provisions of AB 1X 26 provided for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies statewide as of February 1, 2012. The provisions of AB 1X 27 permitted redevelopment agencies to avoid such dissolution by the payment of certain amounts. A lawsuit was brought in the California Supreme Court, California Redevelopment Association, et al., v. Matosantos, et al., 53 Cal. 4th 231 (Cal. Dec. 29, 2011), challenging the constitutionality of AB 1X 26 and AB 1X 27. On December 19, 2012, the California Supreme Court largely upheld AB 1X 26, invalidated AB 1X 27, and held that AB 1X 26 may be severed from AB 1X 27 and enforced independently. As a result of AB 1X 26 and the decision of the California Supreme Court in the California Redevelopment Association case, as of February 1, 2012, all redevelopment agencies in the State were dissolved, including the Former Agency, and successor agencies were designated as successor entities to the former redevelopment agencies to expeditiously wind down the affairs of the former redevelopment agencies. The primary provisions enacted by AB 1X 26 relating to the dissolution and wind down of former redevelopment agency affairs are found in Parts 1.8 (commencing with Section 34161) and 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170) of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code of the State, as amended on June 27, 2012 by Assembly Bill No. 1484 (“AB 1484”), enacted as Chapter 26, Statutes of 2012 (as amended from time to time, the “Dissolution Act”). Successor Agency. Pursuant to Section 34173 of the Dissolution Act, the City acts as the Successor Agency to the Former Agency. Subdivision (g) of Section 34173 of the Dissolution Act, added by AB 1484, expressly affirms that the Successor Agency is a separate public entity and legal entity from the City, that the two entities shall not merge, and that the liabilities of the Former Agency will not be transferred to the City nor will the assets of the Former Agency become assets of the City. Security for the 2018 Bonds The Dissolution Act authorizes the Successor Agency to issue refunding bonds secured by a pledge of, and lien on, and repaid from property tax revenues (as further defined herein, “Tax Revenues”) deposited with respect to the Project Area from time to time in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (the “Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund”) established and held by the Alameda County Auditor-Controller (the “County Auditor- 108
