Home My WebLink AboutED RA Annual Report for Redevelopment Agency 2010CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AGENDA ITEM NO.: 3 MEETING DATE: December 21, 2009 San Rafael Redevelopment Agency Agenda Department: Redevelopment Prepared by:--}L/l(/L 60 Director Initials: Executive Director SUBJECT: Approval of Redevelopment Agency Annual Report, including Blight Progress, Agency owned property, loan compliance, AB 987 and Affordable Housing reports. RECOMMENDATION: Approve Annual Report for the Redevelopment Agency and forward to the City Council for review and approval and make findings regarding administrative expenses paid from the affordable housing fund. BACKGROUND: The Annual Report provides data for each California redevelopment agency to the State Legislature and other interested parties. The State Controller Report shows the financial transactions and the Department of Housing and Community Development shows the affordable housing activities and expenditures. The legislative body (City Council) must approve the Annual Report, Community Redevelopment Law ("CRL"). Therefore, staff recommends the Agency approve the Report and forward it to the City Council. Staff has also prepared a housing report to provide additional information on the Agency's housing activities. The Agency spends approximately 34% percent of total annual housing expenditures on planning and administrative charges. CRL Section 33334.3 (d) requires that the Agency make an annual determination that these charges are necessary for the production, improvement or preservation of affordable housing. The Agency has entered into several loan agreements for affordable housing. The Report and Audit show that all these loans are current and have complied with the Agency's requirements contained in the document. AB 987, effective January 2008, requires the Agency to compile, maintain and make available to the public via the internet a list of new and substantially rehabilitated income restricted units that received Agency assistance. This report is on the City's website in the affordable housing resource area. FISCAL IMPACT: None. FOR AGENCY SECRETARY ONLY File No.: Agency Meeting: Disposition: _ ACTION REQUIRED: Approve the Annual Report in substantially final form with changes approved by the Finance Director, make the HSC 33334.3 (d) determination and forward to the City Council.

These component unit financial statements are the responsibility of the Agency's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America and the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the component unit financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the component unit financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion the component unit financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency for the year ended June 30, 2009 and the changes in financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 30, 2009 on our consideration of the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. Management's Discussion and Analysis is not a required part of the basic component unit financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and we express no opinion on it. A Proiossionai Corporation 1 EXHIBIT D Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the component unit financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information listed in the Table of Contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the component unit financial statements of the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the component unit financial statements, and in our opinion is fairly stated in all material respects in relation tothecomponent unit financial statements taken as a whole. la)e, J ;�M0 October 30, 2009 2 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 As management of the Redevelopment Agency (Agency) of the City of San Rafael, we offer readers of the Agenc3, s Financial Statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Agency for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. This document has been prepared as required by the Statement No. 34 of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB 34). I. Financial Highlights Tax increment revenues are more than sufficient to cover debt related expenses and provide funding for both housing and non -housing priorities. The Agency continues to deliver high quality projects that have been planned based on neighborhood and business needs and goals. Fiscal year 2008-2009 provided construction of the Medway Canal Intersection Improvements and some underground work. Program funding for housing improvements continued to have a positive effect on the overall quality of life of the area. The Agenc3,1s investment in projects has resulted in strong demand for housing and considerable investment in renovations and additions to the existing housing stock. The following are the amounts received from tax increments in fiscal year 2008-2009 with comparative totals for the previous four fiscal years: Fiscal Year Receipt 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 Total for the Year $ 4,574,447 $ 4,549,414 $ 4,540 652 $ 4,533,376 $ 4,549,772 The liabilities of the Agency exceeded its assets at the close of the fiscal year by $28.2M (net assets). The Agency's investment in assets is primarily in City owned property, and other than land held for resale or development; it does not hold property in its own name. Therefore a negative net asset amount would be expected. As of the close of the fiscal year, the Agency's funds (all governmental) reported combined ending fund balances of $5.02M, which is a decrease of $0.94M in comparison with the prior year. Approximately $5.02M of this amount is available for spending at the Agency s discretion for the purposes of redevelopment (reserved fund balance). Of this amount, $2.3M has been reserved for capital projects. II. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the Agency's basic financial statements. The Redevelopment Agency basic financial statements comprise of three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government -wide Financial Statements: The Government -wide Financial Statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Agency's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business. The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the Agency's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. The Agency, while a separate legal entity, acts as a financial conduit for the City and as such does not hold title to the assets it helps construct. Therefore, its net assets are not any indication of its financial health. The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Fund Financial Statements: A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Agency, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Agency can be divided into two categories: capital projects fund and debt service fund. The Agency adopts an annual appropriated budget for all of its funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided to demonstrate compliance with this budget. Capital Prr9jects: Capital projects fund is used to account for resources available for land purchase and capital improvements made in the project area using bond proceeds. Housing set aside fund is used to account for the 20 % of the tax increments that is required by State Law to be used for low and moderate income housing purposes. Debt Service: Debt service fund is used to account for the repayment of principal and interest on debt. Notes to the Basic Financial Statements: The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements. Other Information: hi addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information relating to the Agency's budgetary principles. III. Government-wide Financial Analysis By far the largest portion of the Agency's net assets reflects amounts designated for capital projects (e.g., land, building, machinery, and equipment). Unlike most other type of governmental bodies who provide day-to-day services, the main purpose of the Agency is to provide capital funds for the development of a certain geographical area of the City. The following table shows the components of the net assets. Redevelopment Agency Net Assets At June 30, 2009 Current assets $5.9M Noncurrent assets 2.3M Total assets 8.2M Current liabilities 2.5M Noncurrent liabilities 33.9M Total liabilities 36.4M Net assets: Restricted 2.3M Unrestricted (30.6)M Total net assets ($25.2)M There was an increase of $1.4M in the Agency's net assets during the fiscal year. Governmental Activities: All the activities of the agency are governmental and it has no business -type activities. Redevelopment Agency Changes in Net Assets Fiscal year ended 2008-09 General revenues: Property tax (tax increments) $ 4,549,772 Use of money and property 127,447 Miscellaneous 16,791 Total general revenues and transfers 4,694,010 Net Expenses 3,299,579 Change in net assets (increase) 1,394,431 Net assets - beginning of year, as restated (29,601,256) Net assets - end of year $(28,206,825) IV. Financial Analysis of the Agency's Funds As noted earlier, the Agency uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance - related legal requirements. Governmental Funds: The focus of the Agency's Governmental Funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of expendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Agency's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. It should, however, be noted that most of the unreserved amounts have been designated by the Agency for specific uses. 5 The Agency is required by State law to set aside 20% of the tax increment revenue in a separate fund for low and moderate-income housing purposes. This capital projects fund had total revenue of $1.OM and expenditures of $1.OM and a transfer for debt service payment of $0.3M. The expenditure includes $101K for subsidies to Low and Moderate Income Housing. The ending fund balance decreased $300K from the prior year balance of $3M. The debt service fund accounts for the principal and interests payments on all bonds. The capital projects funds other than the Low and Moderate Income Housing fund, account for all bond proceeds available for capital improvements and the related interest income. The interest income for the year is $98K. The expenditures amounted to $1.6M. The fund balance decreased by $0.6M to $2.3M at the year-end. All of this amount has been reserved for capital improvements. V. Budgetary Highlights The tax increment revenue was on target with the budgeted amount. The operating expenditures overall remained within the budget. VI. Capital Asset and Debt Administration Capital Assets: As of June 30, 2009, the Agency's capital assets were $2.3M. Construction in progress represents $2.OM of the Agency's capital assets. As noted earlier the Agency acts as a financial conduit for the City of San Rafael therefore its investments in capital assets are recorded as City assets rather than Agency assets. Long-term Debt: At the end of the current fiscal year, the Agency had total bonded debt outstanding of $35.9M. The tax increments revenue of the Agency secures all bonded debt of the Agency. The Agency's debt decreased by $1.9M with the annual debt payments for the 1999 and 2002 Agency bonds. Additional information on the Agency long-term debt can be found in Note 6 of this report. VII. Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets Since the Agency's primary source of revenue is tax increments, property values and new construction in the redevelopment area are the key economic factors that define the future resources of the agency. Tax increment revenue remained stable in fiscal year 2008-2009. It is reflective of the statutory increase permitted and the flat economy, which continues to suppress business activity in the commercial and industrial areas within the redevelopment project area. Although the housing market is weakening around the nation, the City on the other hand, has not seen the drastic decline in market value. The Agency's budget for fiscal year 2009-2010 brings no new surprises. Sufficient funds have been set aside to keep the Agency operations sustainable for several years. In November 2009 the Agency staff proposed to refund the 1999 bonds to take advantage of lower interest rates and to provide a loan to the City for street resurfacing, parking improvements and other capital improvements in the Redevelopment Project Area. Agency staff also continues to work with the County of Marin and other local agencies to see if a tax sharing restructuring can produce future revenues that can be pledged for new bonds. Bond issues not only pay for new projects, but provide revenue to pay for current staffing and operations. If a new bond measure is not achieved within the next five years, the Agency operations will be drastically reduced. VIII.

The Statement of Net Assets focuses the reader on the composition of the Agency's net assets, by subtracting total liabilities from total assets. The Statement of Net Assets summarizes the financial position of all the Agency's Governmental Activities in a single column. The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the Agency's net assets. It is also prepared on the full accrual basis, which means it includes all the Agency's revenues and all its expenses, regardless of when cash changes hands. This differs from the "modified accrual" basis used in the Fund financial statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, available revenues and measurable expenditures. The Statement of Activities presents the Agency's expenses that are listed by program fust. Program revenues— that is, revenues which are generated directly by these programs --are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each program. The Agency's general revenues are then listed and the Change in Net Assets is computed and reconciled with the Statement ofNet Assets.

Description of SanRafael Redevelopment Agency and Redevelopment Plan The San Rafael Redevelopment Agency (Agency) was established under the provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code, commencing with Section 33000) primarily to assist in the clearance and rehabilitation of areas determined to be in a declining condition in the City of San Rafael (City). Financial activity of the Agency commenced in July 1973. Under the Agency's Redevelopment Plan (Plan), approved in November 1972, the Agency will assist in the development of the property located in the central San Rafael business core and east San Rafael. The Plan was amended and restated in October 1998. The Agency receives incremental tax revenues on the developed property due to increases in assessed value. The Agency functions as an independent entity. The City Council serves as the governing board of the Agency. The Agency is authorized to finance the Redevelopment Plan from various sources, including assistance from the City, the State and Federal government, property tax increments, interest income and the issuance of Agency notes and bonds. Management and administrative support services are provided by the City. The City Manager serves as the Executive Director, City Clerk as Secretary, and the City Finance Director as the Finance Officer of the Agency. The Agency is an integral part of the City of San Rafael and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are included as a component of the basic financial statements prepared by the City. A component unit is a separate governmental unit, agency or nonprofit corporation which, when combined with all other component units, constitutes the reporting entity as defined in the City's basic financial statements. B. Basis of Presentation The Agency's Basic Component Unit Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Government Accounting Standard's Board is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the U.S.A. These Statements require that the financial statements described below be presented. Government -wide Statements: The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities include the financial activities of the overall Agency government. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the Agency's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues. Fund Financial Statements. The fund financial statements provide information about the Agency. Separate statements for each governmental fund are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major individual funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. 21 SAN RAFAEL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Notes to Basic Component Unit Financial Statements NOTE 1- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) C Major Funds Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of their fund -type total and five percent of the grand total. The Agency may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds. The Agency reported all of its governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements as major funds: The 1999 Agency Bonds Debt Service Fund is the debt service fund for the principal payments, interest payments, and related costs of the 1999 Project Tax Allocation Bonds. The 2002 Agency Bonds Debt Service Fund is the debt service fund for the principal payments, interest payments and related costs of the 2002 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds. The Capital Improvement Projects Capital Projects Fund is the capital projects fund for the new resources received from the 2002 Agency Bonds that can be used for Agency operations, capital projects or payments to the San Rafael High School district under an established tax sharing agreement. The Low and Moderate Income Housing Capital Projects Fund accounts for the 20% set-aside required by the State for low and moderate -income housing projects. The 1999 Bonds Capital Projects Fund is the capital projects fund of the Agency for the 1999 Project Tax Allocation Bonds. The 1985 Capital Projects and Administrative Capital Projects Fund is the general operating fund of the Agency. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund and debt service funds. D. Basis ofAccounling The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The Agency considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources. Non-exchange transactions, in which the Agency gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. 22 SAN RAFAEL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Notes to Basic Component Unit Financial Statements NOTE 1- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Other revenues susceptible to accrual include interest and charges for services: Under the terms of grant agreements, the Agency may fund certain programs with a combination of cost - reimbursement giants, categorical block grants, and unrestricted redevelopment revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available to finance program expenditures. The Agency's policy is to fust apply restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by unrestricted redevelopment revenues if necessary. E. Capital Assets All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value on the date contributed. Capital assets excluding infrastructure are capitalized if costs exceed $5,000. The threshold for infrastructure is $25,000. The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of capital assets equitably among all users over the life of these assets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each year represents that year's pro rata share of the cost of capital assets. Depreciation of all capital assets is charged as an expense against operations each year and the total amount of depreciation taken over the years, called accumulated depreciation, is reported on the balance sheet as a reduction in the book value of capital assets. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method which means the cost of the asset is divided by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each year until the asset is fully depreciated. The Agency has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets. Buildings and structures 50 years Machinery and equipment 5-20 years F. Net Assets Net Assets is the excess of all the Agency's assets over all its liabilities, regardless of fund. Net Assets are divided into three captions. These captions apply only to Net Assets, which is determined only at the Government -wide level, and are described below; Restricted describes the portion of Net Assets which is restricted to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which the Agency cannot unilaterally alter. These principally include resources received for debt service requirements; redevelopment funds restricted to low and moderate income purposes. Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Assets which is not restricted as to use. As of June 30, 2009, the Agency reported an unrestricted deficit of $30,562,965 representing debt used to finance the acquisition and construction of assets maintained by the City. These capital assets were constructed or acquired in prior years and transferred to the City upon completion. 23 SAN RAFAEL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Notes to Basic Component Unit Financial Statements NOTE 1- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) G. Fund Balance Reserves Governmental fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net current assets generally represent a fund's cash and receivables, less its liabilities. Portions of a fund balance may be reserved or designated for future expenditure. Reserves are restrictions placed by outside entities, such as other governments, which restrict the expenditures of the reserved funds to the purpose intended by the entity which provided the funds. The Agency has reserved fund balances as follows: Reserved for Loans Receivable — To account for assets that have been set aside to represent loans receivable amounts that do not represent available current resources. Reserved for Improvement Projects — To account for capital projects made in the project area. Reserved for Housing — To account for projects for low and moderate income housing purposes. Reserved for Debt Service — To account for assets that have been set aside to represent funds legally restricted for the payment of principal and interest on long term debt. H. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting The Agency operates under the general laws of the State of California and follows the budgetary process of the City. Bi -annually, the Agency Board adopts two one-year budgets effective July 1 for each ensuing fiscal year. From the effective date of the budget, which is adopted and controlled at the fund level, the amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures, become appropriations. The Board may amend the budget by resolution during the two fiscal years. All unencumbered appropriations lapse at year-end. Bi -annual budgets are adopted for the debt service funds on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. The budgets are reviewed at mid -year each fiscal year to determine if any revisions are necessary. The Agency also adopts budgets bi-annually for capital outlay expenditures for its capital projects funds. Such budgets are based on a project time frame rather than a fiscal year "operating" time frame, reappropriating unused appropriations from year to year until project completion. Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for expenditures are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of the budgetary process. L Property Tax Increment The Agency's primary source of revenue, other than bond proceeds, is from property taxes. Property taxes allocated to the Agency are computed in the following manner: (1) the assessed valuation of all property within the project area is determined on the date of adoption of the Redevelopment Plan, and (2) property taxes related to the incremental increase in assessed values after the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan are allocated to the Agency; all taxes on the "frozen" assessed valuation of the property are allocated to the City and other districts. 24 SAN RAFAEL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Notes to Basic Component Unit Financial Statements NOTE 1- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The Agency has no power to levy and collect taxes, and any legislative property tax de -emphasis might necessarily reduce the amount of tax increment revenues that would otherwise be available to pay the principal and interest on bonds or other debt of the Agency. Broadened property tax exemptions could have a similar effect. Conversely, any increase in the tax rate or assessed valuation, or any reduction or elimination of present exemptions would necessarily increase the amount of tax increment revenues that would be available to pay principal and interest on bonds or other debt of the Agency. All property taxes are levied and collected by the County Auditor of the County of Marin and paid to the various taxing entities including the Agency. Secured taxes are due on November 1 and February 1 and become delinquent on December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured taxes are due on July 1 and become delinquent on August 31. The lien date for secured and unsecured property taxes is January 1 of the preceding fiscal year. J. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumption which affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS Agency cash not held by the Trustee is included in an Agency wide cash and investment pool. The Agency's cash is fully collateralized with securities held by an agent of the pledging financial institution in the Agency's name. The Agency's goal is to invest at the maximum yield, consistent with safety and liquidity, while individual funds can process payments for expenditures at any time. The Agency's investments are carried at fair value, as required by generally accepted accounting principles. The Agency adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each fiscal year end, and it includes the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year. A. Classification Cash and investments as of June 30, 2009 are classified in the financial statements as shown below, based on whether or not their use is restricted under the terms of Agency debt instruments or Agency agreements. Financial Statement Presentation: Statement of Net Assets: Cash and investments $3,228,330 Restricted cash and investments 1,604,471 Total cash and investments $4,832,801 25 SAN RAFAEL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Notes to Basic Component Unit Financial Statements NOTE 2 - CASH AND IN -VESTMENTS (Continued) A InvestmentsAutl:orizedbyDebtAgreements The Agency must maintain required amounts of cash and investments with trustees or fiscal agents under the terms of certain debt issues. These funds are unexpended bond proceeds or are pledged as reserves to be used if the Agency fails to meet its obligations under these debt issues. The California Government Code requires these funds to be invested in accordance with Agency ordnance, bond indentures or State statute. The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized for investments held by fiscal agents. The table also identifies certain provisions of these debt agreements: Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Normally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the Agency manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. 12 Months Type of Investment Maximum Money Market Mutual Funds Maximum Minimum Credit Percentage of Authorized Investment Type Maturity Quality Portfolio U.S. Treasury Obligations N/A N/A No Limit U.S. Agency Securities 3 years NIA No Limit Category Banker's Acceptances 360 days Highest No Limit Rating Category Money Market Funds N/A Highest No Limit Rating Category Commercial Paper 270 days Highest No Limit Rating Guaranteed Investment Contracts N/A Category Highest No Limit (fully collateralized) (A) Rating Municipal Obligations N/A Two Highest Category Ratings No Limit (A) Guaranteed Investment Contracts must be fully collateralized with U.S. Treasury Obligations or U.S. Agency Obligations.

The Agency reports its investment in LAIF at the fair value amount provided by LAIF, which is the same as the value of the pool share. The balance is available for withdrawal on demand, and is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. Included in LAIF's investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage- backed securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, and floating rate securities issued by federal agencies, govermnent-sponsored enterprises, United States Treasury Notes and Bills, and corporations. At June 30, 2009, these investments matured in an average of 235 days. Money Market Mutual Funds are available for withdrawal on demand and at June 30, 2009 matured in an average of 46 days. D. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. According to the Agency's investment policy, no more than $1,000,000 of the total portfolio may be invested in securities of any single issuer, other than the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and LAIF. If a security is downgraded by either Moody's or Standard and Poor's to a level below the minimum quality required by the Agency, it shall be the Agency's policy to sell that security as soon as practical. The actual rating as of June 30, 2009 for the money market mutual funds was AAAm, as provided by Standard and Poor's Investment Rating System. As an external investment pool, the Local Agency Investment Fund was not rated as of June 30, 2009. NOTE 3 — INTER -FUND TRANSACTIONS A.

The Bonds are secured, on parity with the 1992 and 1995 bonds, by a pledge and lien on tax revenues and amounts on deposit in certain funds and accounts held by the fiscal agent. The pledge of future tax increment revenues ends upon repayment of the $28.8 million in remaining debt service on the Redevelopment Agency's long term debt which is scheduled to occur in 2022.

These agreements were replaced by a Fiscal Agreement, dated September 11, 1984, by and between the Agency and the following taxing entities: County of Marin, City of San Rafael, San Rafael Elementary and High School Districts, and Marin Community College District. The Agreement has been amended from time to time concurrently with the issuance of bonds by the Agency. The Fiscal Agreement, as amended, contains limitations on the amount of tax increment revenues allocable annually to the Agency. This limits the amount of tax increment the Agency receives to the amount necessary to pay the debt service on the Agency's tax allocation bonds plus any amount necessary to make payments to the County of Marin pursuant to an agreement between the Agency and the County of Marin entitled Section 33401 Agreement (County) dated September 11, 1984, providing for the annual payment to the County of tax increment in an amount equal to the County's share of taxes that are attributable to the Agency's use of tax increment to pay debt service on the Bonds. In addition, the Agency also receives any amount it is required to set aside into the Housing Fund pursuant to Sections 33334.2, 33334.3, and 33334.6 of the Redevelopment Law to meet the Agency's low and moderate income housing obligation. On October 1, 2002 , the Agency entered into a second amendment to the Section 33401 Tax Sharing Agreement with the San Rafael High School District. This agreement provides for additional payments in the amount of $179,000 each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2002-03 through fiscal year 2021-22. 31 SAN RAFAEL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Notes to Basic Component Unit Financial Statements NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Agency is presently involved in certain matters of litigation that have arisen in the normal course of conducting Agency business. Agency management believes, based upon consultation with the Agency Attorney, that these cases, in the aggregate, are not expected to result in a material adverse financial impact on the Agency. Additionally, Agency management believes that the Agency's insurance programs are sufficient to cover any potential losses should an unfavorable outcome materialize. NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT The State of California adopted AB26 4X in July 2009 which directs that a portion of the incremental property taxes received by redevelopment agencies be paid to the County supplemental educational revenue augmentation fund (SERAF) in fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11. The State Department of Finance will determine each agency's SERAF payment by November 15 of each year, and payments are due by May 10 of the applicable year. Based on the calculations in AB26 4X, the Agency's SERAF's are estimated to be $1,370,626 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $282,188 in fiscal year 2010-11. The Agency can use any legally available funds to make the SERAF payments. The payment due in fiscal year 2009-10 represents 42% of the Agency's cash and 'investments available for operations at June 30, 2009. The obligation to make the SERAF payment is subordinate to obligations to repay bonds, however if the Agency fails to make the SERAF payment the Agency may not encumber or expend future funds other than to pay pre-existing indebtedness, contractual obligations and 75% of the amount expended on Agency administration for the preceding fiscal year until the SERAF is paid in full. The Agency's obligation is in addition to amounts due pursuant to the Fiscal Agreement as discussed above in Note 6.

We have conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Agency's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Agency's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Agency's internal control over financial reporting. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Agency's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Agency's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the Agency's internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the Agency's internal control. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weakness, as defined above. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the second paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. As part of our audits, we prepared and issued our separate Memorandum on Internal Control dated October 30, 2009, A PWassionai Corporation 39 Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Agency's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. Our audit included tests of compliance with provisions of the Guidelines for Compliance Audits of California Redevelopment Agencies. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. This report is intended for the information of the Board, management and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than the above parties. 1a?— 4-o October 30, 2009 E111 EXHIBIT E City of San Rafael Affordable Housing Report 2008-09 This Affordable Housing Report is intended to provide information on the City and Redevelopment Agency's affordable housing programs. This information is intended to supplement the reporting required by the CA Community Redevelopment Law. Affordable Housing Inventory The rental inventory was reduced by eleven units at the Highlands of Marin. Restricted units include all known units with affordability restrictions including BMR units (H-19), RDA restrictions, CDBG & HOME or tax credits. Location of Affordable Units Downtown June 30, 2009 Total restricted units* 1,679 Rental (hic. Senior) 1,563 Ownership 116 Restricted units include all known units with affordability restrictions including BMR units (H-19), RDA restrictions, CDBG & HOME or tax credits. Location of Affordable Units Downtown 50% East San Rafael 12% North San Rafael 38% Affordable Housing Programs The Agency staff continues to work with Community Development in implementing General Plan 2020 and the Housing Element. We have updated the economic development website to be more useful to housing developers and to persons seeking affordable housing. The website now includes a listing of housing sites that have been approved for development but are not under construction. Staff spends considerable time explaining the City requirements to potential developers. The majority of the calls in 2008-09 were requesting information on options to avoid building the affordable units on site. Agency staff provides predevelopment assistance on many of the sites that have major issues or site development costs that can preclude housing development and/or redevelopment. Examples of predevelopment activities include the Salute site, the industrial areas in East and North San Rafael, and assistance with SMART Station area planning. EXHIBIT E Requirement for Below Market Rate Units ("H-19") One of the City's main affordable housing programs is General Plan Policy H-19, first adopted in 1986. General Plan 2020 increased the number of housing developments subject to H-19 and increased the number of affordable units required. New housing developments are now required to provide between 10%-20% of the total units affordable to very low, low and moderate -income persons. BMR units are required in both rental and ownership developments. There are exemptions for 1-4 unit developments and single-family homes under 1,800 square feet. H-19 Inventory as of June 2009: Total H-19 units Rental H-19 units Ownership H-19 Units 305 189(62%) 116(38%) Below Market Rate Ownership Housing Program The Below Market Rate ("BMR") housing program is administered by Marin Housing Authority ("MHA") with assistance and policy direction from Agency staff. San Rafael has 116 homes in the program. Since the inception of the program, over 150 households have been assisted with first time home purchases at affordable prices. There have been no new sales this year because there have not been any new subdivisions BMR resales have been challenging due to the continued instability in the lending market and the continuing decline of sales prices of market rate homes. San Rafael BMR units are still priced under the current market value but moderate income buyers would rather pay more and purchase a non restricted unit. Lower income buyers are still interested in purchasing BMR units but find it more difficult to obtain financing because of their lower income, potential credit issues and the reluctance of banks to lend on resale restricted units. The BMR program is not immune to the recession. Staff has spent many hours and legal fees to protect the program's interest when homeowners are unable to pay their mortgages or homeowners dues. In these situations, the legal fees will be recouped from the owner when the unit is sold. Ownership Assistance Many low income households are unable to enjoy the advantages of homeownership due to financial constraints. These families often pay monthly rent that exceeds the monthly cost for a BMR unit. MHA has two Federal programs to assist low income households with home ownership; the mortgage credit certificate program ("MCC") and the American Dream Downpayment Initiative ("ADDI") program. The funding for the MCC and ADDI programs are competitive, with a lengthy application process and a requirement to show a track record of fully utilizing the funding. MHA has received several additional funding allocations because they could show that every eligible BMR buyer for the past 10 years received a MCC. MHA has also been successfully utilizing the ADDI funding. MHA's first ADDI loan was completed in 2008 on a unit in San Rafael. The San Rafael Redevelopment Agency provides funding for an ownership assistance program for low income buyers whose incomes do not exceed 80% of County median income. The grants range in size from $2,500 to $7,500. The Agency made one $2,500 ownership assistance grant in 2008-09. Since the inception of the program in 2002, the Agency has assisted a total of thirty- one low-income households including City, County and County Court employees and people working in retail establishments in Marin County. In 2008-09, the Agency purchased a BMR unit in the Capri development and authorized a $ 31,000 permanent subsidy to reduce the price of the unit. This action was required because this BMR unit was in danger of being lost to the program. The unit was originally priced to be affordable to a moderate income buyer. The Agency's subsidy will make this unit affordable to a low income buyer. MHA is actively marketing the unit. Unfortunately, qualified buyers are reluctant to purchase because the value of condominiums continues to decline. Agency staff will continue to work with MHA staff on additional marketing and sales strategies. Below Market Rate Rental Housing Program Agency staff is responsible for administering the rental properties subject to General Plan Policy H-19. Thirty-one properties are required to provide tenant income and rent certifications to the City annually. Agency staff provides annual notification to the property owners regarding the allowable rent levels after HUD publishes the new County median income figures. Preservation of At Risk Units Highlands of Marin The bond restrictions on this property required 44 units of the 220 units be affordable to very low income persons. The City of San Rafael also has a requirement for the property to have 18 units affordable to low income persons and 15 units affordable to moderate income persons. The San Rafael requirement was subsumed by the bond agreement. The bond restrictions were originally due to expire in August 2008. Agency staff and legal counsel monitored the notices and information sent to tenants to ensure compliance with State Law. Staff worked with the property owner to ensure an orderly transition for the low income tenants facing rent increases. Our work resulted in the conversion date being extended from August 2008 to November 1, 2009. Even though, the Agency spent countless staff hours and $12,000 in legal fees on this endeavor, between 11 and 26 lower income households were displaced. Non Profits Grants for Acquisition and Rehabilitation The Agency continues to assist non-profit organizations to acquire existing properties with long- term rental restrictions. All buildings receiving Agency assistance have a Regulatory Agreement with minimum fifty-five year rental restrictions. In 2009, the Agency provided $130,000 to Art Works Downtown to install fire sprinklers to protect the building and the 17 upstairs housing units. Community Development Block Grants ("CDBG") and HOME Agency staff works with the County Federal Grants division to allocate housing funds in the San Rafael Planning Area pursuant to the cooperative agreement. In Fiscal Year 2008-09, housing funds were allocated to housing rehabilitation program at Marin Housing and to Fair Housing of Marin. Other recipients of CDBG funds were Buckelew for their D Street home, Homeward Bound for the Family Resource Center and Lifehouse for the Sunrise II property Rehabilitation Grants The Agency continued to provide funds for low interest loans and grants to low income homeowners for rehabilitation and handicapped accessibility improvements. The program is administered by Marin Housing and is only available to single family homeowners. The majority of the loans are made to low income seniors. The Agency also continued its support of Rebuilding Together. Agency funds are used for repair and rehabilitation of housing facilities owned by or serving low-income persons. Canal Area Housing Improvement Program ("CAHIP") BRIDGE Housing owns and manages 55 Fairfax (40 units) and 162-172 Belvedere (28 units). These buildings were acquired and rehabilitated with assistance from the Agency, Marin Community Foundation, Cowell Foundation and Federal HOME funds. All of the units will remain affordable for sixty years. BRIDGE continues to pursue acquisition of additional properties and the Agency has allocated $250,000 annually from 2004-2009 for this program. Code Enforcement The Agency funds a housing inspector position in the code enforcement division assigned to inspect buildings with a large number of low-income residents in keeping with the requirement under State Law to use housing funds to increase improve or preserve affordable housing and the Agency's mission to improve housing conditions for low-income residents of the City. Other code enforcement activities are funded by fees and fines collected by the City of San Rafael. Housing Support Services The Agency continues to provide funding to Ritter House for the Housing 101 program and Mediation Services for landlord -tenant mediation. Both programs serve very low and low- mcome persons. Agency Staff involvement in Affordable Housing Staff serves on the loan committee of the Workforce Housing Trust, is a member of the Marin Environmental Housing Collaborative and assists the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce on affordable housing issues. Use of Affordable Housing Funds (CRL 33334.3 (d) and 33334.4) Agency housing funds have not been used to fund offsite improvements. Agency funds are not used for land acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of developments for moderate -income households, funding is targeted to assist very low and low-income persons. The Agency does expend some funds on the Below Market Rate ownership program that serves both low and moderate income households. In 2008-09, the Agency spent $100,843 on the administration of the Below Market Rate Ownership program. In addition, the Agency purchased a Below Market Rate unit that would have reverted to market rate. The Agency paid $246,430 and provided a subsidy to write down the price to be affordable to a low income household. In 2008-2009, planning and administrative expenses of $347,004 represented approximately 34% of the annual housing expenditures. These expenses are not disproportionate to the amount spent on housing activities and are necessary for the production, improvement, preservation of affordable housing and the required reporting on housing activities. >.
