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. Pursuant to Section 34173 of the Dissolution Act, the City Council serves as the governing board of the successor agency to the Former Agency and thus, since the February 1, 2012 dissolution of the Former Agency, the City has acted in such capacity. The Successor Agency is governed by a seven -member board which consists of the Mayor and the members of the City Council. The Mayor acts as the chairman of the Successor Agency. Section 34173(g) of the Dissolution Act expressly affirms that the Successor Agency is a separate public 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.

The costs of such functions, as well as additional services performed by City staff are allocated annually to the Successor Agency, within certain limitations established by the Dissolution Act.

Pursuant to the Dissolution Act, the Successor Agency is a separate public body from the City and succeeds to the organizational status of the Former Agency but without any legal authority to participate in redevelopment activities, except to complete any work related to an approved enforceable obligation. The Successor Agency is tasked with expeditiously winding down the affairs of the Former Agency, pursuant to the procedures and provisions of the Dissolution Act. Under the Dissolution Act, many Successor Agency actions are subject to approval by the Oversight Board, as well as review by the State Department of Finance. California has strict laws regarding public meetings (known as the Ralph M. Brown Act) which generally make all Successor Agency and Oversight Board meetings open to the public in similar manner as City Council meetings.
