7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Background
Assembly Bill 1484, specifically under Health and Safety Code Section 34171 (d)(1)(F)
authorizes a successor agency to enter into contracts necessary for maintaining assets prior to
disposition. These contracts are subject to the approval of the Oversight Board of the Successor
Agency to the Orange Redevelopment Agency and the California Department of Finance (DOF).
DOF is also in the midst of reviewing the Successor Agency's Long -Range Property
Management Plan ( LRPMP) detailing disposition of Successor Agency properties. If and when
the LRPMP is approved by DOF, the contract for landscape maintenance services will cease
upon transfer of those approved Successor Agency properties to be dedicated for governmental
purposes to the City.
Discussion
The proposed Contract with West Coast Arborist, Inc. (WCA) provides for annual tree trimming
services at Successor Agency properties in the amount not to exceed $8,000. The scope of work
includes tree trimming, watering, pruning, and tree and stump removal. Work performed under
the Contract may be reduced as properties are disposed of by the Successor Agency.
Action by the Successor Agency is requested to allow inclusion of this contract in the proposed
ROPS 15 -16A and ROPS 15 -16B to ensure that sufficient Redevelopment Property Tax Trust
Funds would be available for the WCA Contract in FY 15 -16.
It is recommended that the Successor Agency approve the proposed Contract between the
Successor Agency and WCA for an amount not to exceed $8,000 for a period covering July 1,
2015 through June 30, 2016. Due to WCA's existing contract with the City of Orange
exceeding the $30,000 threshold for Executive Director approval, authorization by the Successor
Agency is requested. This Contract is also subject to approval by the Oversight Board and DOF.
