SUBJECT:  
OVERVIEW  
On January 24, 2012 (14), the County of San Diego (County) was designated as the Successor  
Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the County of San Diego (Successor Agency) to  
oversee the wind-down of the former Redevelopment Agency’s operations following the steps  
established by California Assembly Bill (AB) X1 26 and AB 1484, collectively known as the  
Dissolution Act. These steps include preserving assets, fulfilling legally binding commitments,  
overseeing the termination of activities, and returning resources expeditiously to the affected  
taxing entities.  
In 2005, under an indenture agreement, the former Redevelopment Agency pledged tax  
increment revenues generated within the Gillespie Field Project Area to make payments on San  
Diego County Redevelopment Agency Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2005A (Bonds). When  
the former Redevelopment Agency was dissolved, responsibility for paying the Bonds  
transferred to the Successor Agency. Under the indenture agreement with the Bank of New York  
Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, a required amount must be maintained in a debt service reserve  
account to secure payment of the Bonds. If the Successor Agency is not in default and the debt  
service reserve account balance exceeds the required amount, the trustee must transfer the excess  
to a debt service fund. Any excess reserve amount transferred to the debt service fund is  
restricted for use exclusively toward the Bonds’ eligible obligation payments. Currently, the  
reserve account has an excess balance of $289,261, but only $150,000 has currently been  
budgeted as available for transfer by appropriation. Based on staff analysis, an additional  
$155,000 in appropriations is sufficient to allow the excess of $289,261 to be transferred along  
with any other remaining excess reserve transfers for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Therefore, today’s  
action requests appropriations, funded by an operating transfer from the CSAF GF Debt Service  
Reserve Fund (Fund 23213) to the CSAF GF Debt Service Fund (Fund 23210), to maintain the  
required debt service reserve account balance.  
This item supports the County vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for all,  
specifically those communities and populations in San Diego County that have been historically  
underserved. This will be accomplished by managing redevelopment projects currently  
underway, making payments on enforceable obligations, and allocating remaining property tax  
revenues that exceed the enforceable obligations to cities, counties, special districts, school, and  
community college districts.  
RECOMMENDATION(S)  
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER  
Establish appropriations of $155,000 in the County of San Diego Successor Agency  
Gillespie Field Debt Service Reserve (Fund 23213), Operating Transfer Out, based on an  
Operating Transfer In in the County Successor Agency Gillespie Field Debt Service  
(Fund 23210) to transfer the reserve amount in excess of the reserve account  
requirement. (4 VOTES)  
EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT  
As part of the 2011 Budget Act, the California Legislature dissolved over 400 Redevelopment  
Agencies (RDA) in an effort to protect funding for core public services. This allowed local  
jurisdictions to have more decision-making input on the development of communities, and the  
resulting revenues. The dissolution went into effect on February 1, 2012. Property tax revenues  
were diverted to pay off existing bonds, other obligations, and pass-through payments to local  
governments. Any remaining property tax revenues that exceeded the enforceable obligations  
were allocated to cities, counties, special districts, and schools and community college districts.  
The approval of the establishment of appropriations in the County of San Diego (County)  
Successor Agency Gillespie Field Debt Service Reserve (Fund 23213) will provide the County  
with future revenue that can provide resources to preserve core public services for the  
community, which includes, but are not limited to, programs and services to help improve the  
health and public safety of residents.  
SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT  
Today’s actions support the Sustainability Goal #1 of engaging the community by transparently  
sharing results of outcomes on current projects. Additionally, today’s actions support the County  
of San Diego Sustainability Goal #2 of providing just and equitable access to resource  
allocations by managing redevelopment projects currently underway.  
FISCAL IMPACT  
Funds for this request are partially included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Operational Plan in  
the County of San Diego (County) Successor Agency. If approved, this request will result in  
additional costs and revenue of $155,000 in FY 2025-26. The funding source is an operating  
transfer from the County Successor Agency Gillespie Field Debt Service Reserve (Fund 23213)  
to the County Successor Agency Gillespie Field Debt Service (Fund 23210) based on the reserve  
amount in excess of the reserve account requirement. The excess reserve amount transferred to  
the County Successor Agency Gillespie Field Debt Service (Fund 23210) will be restricted for  
use exclusively toward eligible County Successor Agency obligation payments. There will be no  
change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.
