The Legislature approved ABx1 26 which allowed for the dissolution of the state's 400 plus RDAs. After a period of litigation, RDAs were officially dissolved as of February 1, 2012. AB 1484 authorized clean up of ABx1 26. As a result of the elimination of the RDAs, property tax revenues are now being used to pay required payments on existing bonds, other obligations, and pass-through payments to local governments. The remaining property tax revenues that exceed the enforceable obligations are now being allocated to cities, counties, special districts, and school and community college districts, thereby providing critical resources to preserve core public services.

Oversight Board

To help facilitate the winding down process, the City established the Successor Agency to manage redevelopment projects currently underway, make payments on enforceable obligations, and dispose of redevelopment assets and properties. The Successor Agency has an Oversight Board that supervises its work. The oversight board is comprised of representatives of the local agencies that serve the redevelopment project area: the city, county, special districts, and K-14 educational agencies. Oversight Board members have a fiduciary responsibility to holders of enforceable obligations, as well as to the local agencies that would benefit from property tax distributions from the former redevelopment project area.
