OVERSIGHT BOARD TO THE
SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
TO: MEMBERS OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD
FROM: BARBARA LEIBOLD, SUCCESSOR AGENCY COUNSEL
DATE: APRIL 10, 2012
SUBJECT: DESIGNATION OF CONTACT PERSON FOR DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE INQUIRIES
Backaround
California Health & Safety Code Section 34179(#) requires that all actions taken by the
Oversight Board be posted on the successor agency's website for review by the
California Department of Finance ("DOF"). Health & Safety Code Section 34179(h)
further provides that the Oversight Board actions are not effective for three business
days, pending review by the DOF. If the DOF exercises its right to review the action, it
has ten days to approve the action or return it to the Oversight Board for
reconsideration. The Health & Safety Code requires the Oversight Board to formally
designate an official to whom the DOF may make inquiries regarding the Oversight
Board actions.
Discussion
Staff recommends designating the Director of Administrative Services of the Successor
Agency as the contact person for the Oversight Board. Upon receiving an inquiry, the
Director of Administrative Services would direct the inquiry to the appropriate staff
person to formulate a response, and then the Director of Administrative Services of the
Successor Agency would forward the response to the DOF. Alternatively, the Board
may elect to appoint another contact person.
Once the Oversight Board designates an official, staff will transmit the appropriate
contact information to the Department of Finance.
Recommendation
Designate the Director of Administrative Services of the Successor Agency as the
contact person for Department of Finance inquiries regarding Oversight Board actions.
Prepared and approved by: Barbara Leibold,
City Attorney /Successor Agency Counsel
