DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND Assembly Bill 1484 specifically under Health and Safety Code Section 34191.5 (b) requires Successor Agencies to prepare a Long -Range Property Management Plan that addresses the disposition and use of the real properties of the former redevelopment agency. In addition, Health and Safety Code Section 34177.3 (b) authorizes Successor Agencies to create enforceable obligations to conduct the work of winding down the redevelopment agency. The Long -Range Property Management Plan is subject to approval by the Successor Agency, Oversight Board, and the State of California Department of Finance ( "DOF ") and is required to include the following information pertaining to all real property assets of the Successor Agency: • Date of acquisition, value at time of purchase , and estimated current value; • Purpose for which the property was acquired; • Parcel data; • Estimate of current value; • Estimate of lease rental or other revenues generated by the property; • History of environmental contamination; • Description of property's potential for transit - oriented development; • History of development proposals and activity; Recommended use or disposition of all the properties owned by the Successor Agency. In January 2013, the Successor Agency entered into a Consultant Services Agreement with Tierra West Advisors, Inc. (TWA) for an amount not to exceed $30,000 for consulting services associated with the wind -down of the former Orange Redevelopment Agency, including the preparation of the Long Range Property Management Plan. Through the course of the year, it has become clear that the Successor Agency will require more work than was anticipated in the SAORA ITEM 2 1/14/14 original Agreement. As the combined total of both agreements exceeds $30,000, this new Agreement requires approval by the Successor Agency. Successor Agency staff recommends approval of the Consultant Services Agreement between the Successor Agency and Tierra West Advisors, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $20,000.00 to prepare the Long -Range Property Management Plan and provide consulting services associated with the wind -down of the former Orange Redevelopment Agency on an as- needed basis. 8.
