NOTE 17 - SUCCESSOR AGENCY DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)

SARDA's use and disposition of all real properties held (Long Range Property Management Plan ("LRPMP"), was approved by the DOF on June 2, 2014. The LRPMP allowed the SARDA to transfer property used for government purposes with a cost basis of $6,390,263 to the City.

Stipulated Judgment

On May 15, 1991, the Riverside County Superior Court entered a final judgment incorporating the terms of a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment ("Original Stipulation") in Case No. 51124 and a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment pursuant to Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release ("Settlement Agreement") in Case No. 51124, among the Dissolved RDA, the City, the Western Center on Law and Poverty, Inc., California Rural Legal Assistance, and others. On June 18, 1997 and on September 20, 2002, the Riverside County Superior Court amended the judgment, incorporating Stipulations Amending Stipulation for Entry of Judgment.

The judgment, as amended (the “Judgment”), generally required the Dissolved RDA to use 20% of its tax increment revenues, and additional tax increment revenues if necessary, to develop, rehabilitate, or otherwise financially assist affordable housing units and to meet certain housing needs of the City. Before dissolution, the Dissolved RDA used its Housing Set-Aside to fulfill its obligations under the Judgment (including the payment of debt service on the Housing Bonds issued to finance and refinance affordable housing projects that satisfied the requirements of both the Judgment and the relevant Redevelopment Law provisions). While the low and moderate income housing fund and the requirement to deposit the Housing Set-Aside into such fund have been eliminated upon the Dissolved RDA’s dissolution, SARDA continues to recognize the Judgment as its enforceable obligation. On its

ROPS, the SARDA has included line items designated as “Stipulation Judgment Case No. 51124,” listing the amounts necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Judgment (after taking into account the amounts already listed for the repayment of the Housing Bonds). While the DOF originally approved such line items, the DOF changed its position beginning with ROPS 14-15A (i.e., covering the period commencing July 1, 2014).

On August 14, 2014, SARDA filed an action, SARDA to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency v. Michael Cohen, Sacramento Superior Court Case No. 34-2014-00167698 (the “Successor Agency Lawsuit”), seeking to compel the DOF to permit payment of the affordable housing obligations mandated by the Judgment. Subsequently, in view of the fact that there were similar cases pending in the California Court of Appeal (Third District), the SARDA voluntarily dismissed its action without prejudice pending resolution of those other cases. To date, none of the other cases has resulted in a decision that would compel the DOF to permit payment of the obligations under the Judgment as an enforceable obligation.

The assets and liabilities of the Dissolved RDA (except for those transferred to the Housing Successor and reported in the Housing Asset Fund) have been transferred to the SARDA. The SARDA is acting in a fiduciary capacity for the assets and liabilities. Disclosures related to these transactions are as follows:
