RECOMMENDATION

Approve a budget amendment increasing appropriation and revenue by $16,729 in the Auditor-Controller budget for a new position allocation approved by the Board on October 24, 2017 in order to comply with Health and Safety code 34179(j).

SUMMARY

On October 24, 2017 a new position was added to the Auditor-Controller position allocation in order to comply with the requirements of Health and Safety Code 34179(j).  This code section requires the county to create a single county-wide oversight board intended to oversee the successor agencies to the former RDAs (redevelopment agencies).  The former oversight boards assigned to each successor agency shall cease to exist and "one single oversight board, which shall be staffed by the County Auditor-Controller" will be created.  The County Auditor-Controller may recover directly from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund all costs incurred by it, including any associated startup costs.  This adjustment will reflect the impact of that position by showing an increase in appropriations along with the corresponding increase in revenues. 

DISCUSSION

Health and Safety Code 34179(j) placed new requirements on the Auditor-Controller to develop a single "oversight board" which resulted in the addition of one position on October 24, 2017.  Any costs associated with the newly added position are to be recovered from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) in accordance with Health and Safety Code 34183 and/or through the Countywide Cost Allocation Plan.  This adjustment will reflect the needed increase in appropriations along with the corresponding increase in revenues. 

ALTERNATIVES

The Board could choose not to approve this budget amendment.  This is not recommended as the duties associated with this position are required to be completed per Health and Safety Code.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

The County Administrative Office has reviewed the recommendation. 

FINANCING

There is no additional General Fund impact with the approval of the budget amendment.
