DATE'. March 31, 1988 CCXiv
SUBJECT:
Legislation: Senate Bill 2740 (Kopp)
SPECIFIC REQUEST �
S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACiF20UND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for SB 2740 by Senator Quentin Kopp
which expands the definition of "financial burden or detriment"
for purposes of redevelopment project area law and which extends
that definition indefinitely.
BACKGROUND:
Under existing law, financial burden Or detriment is defined as
either a net increase in the quality or quantity of a service of
the 'affected taxing entity caused by the redevelopment project,
loss of property tax revenues by the affected taxing entity
produced by a change of ownership or new construction which the
taxing entity had anticipated receiving. Existing law specifies
-.that the diversion of the property tax increment to the
redevelopment agency does not constitute a financial burden or
detriment by itself. SB 2740 adds to this latter provision by
, .';adding an exception as follows: "unless the affected taxing
entity provides services on a uniform basis throughout a region
of which the project area is only a part, and the availability of
funds for those services will be adversely affected by that
diversion of taxes" .
•This expansion of the definition of financial burden or detriment
is intended to allow a county to object to the formation or
.expansion of a redevelopment project more easily. Under existing
haw., the definition of financial burden or detriment sunsets on
January 1, 1989. SB 2740 eliminates that sunset provision and
(hereby continues the amended definition of financial burden or
detriment indefinitely.
SB 2740 will substantially strengthen the County' s ability to
negotiate . from a position of strength with cities which are
establishing or expanding . -their redevelopment agencies in order
to avoid the inappropriate loss of property tax increment
revenue. It is, therefore., recommended that the. Board indicate
to Senator Kopp its ' support for SB 2740,
