    ATTACHMENT A - APPLICABLE LAW REGARDING SURPLUS/CARRYOVER

    Calif Law:

    Streets and Highways CodeLandscape and Lighting Act of 1972

    22656 - If there is a surplus or deficit in the improvement fund of an assessment district at the end of anyfiscal year, the surplus (emphasis mine) or deficit shall be carried forward to the next annual assessmentto be levied within such district and applied as a credit or debit, as the case may be, against such

    assessment.

    San Diego Municipal Code, chapter 6: Public Works and Property, Public Improvement and AssessmentProceedings

    65.0234: Authority to Refund Surplus

    (a) Notwithstanding the limitations of Streets and Highways Code section 22656, in the event of a

    surplus in an improvement fund in excess of current need, the Council may declare the amount surplus.

    (b) When the Council declares a surplus, the Manager (Mayor - ed) may offer to owners of record a

    proportional refund of their assessment that exceeds the amounts necessary to cover the needs of the

    fund for the next fiscal year or any longer time that the Council determines by resolution.

    (c) Surpluses of owners who do not request refunds will be carried forward to the next and subsequent

    annual assessments.

    That's the law, folks. Usually, Calif law supersedes Municipal Codes, but San Diego is a Charter City,

    and things can be litigated in the area between Calif Code and Municipal Ordinance.

    Note that the Municipal Code requires Council to "declare a surplus", and that "the Manager (Mayor)

    may offer to owners ... ".unquote.

    ATTACHMENT D - GGHCDC MAD OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE FINANCE

    SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT

    Alex and Bob Hansen met Thursday Feb 19 to discuss the provision of financial information to theOversight Committee. As part of this meeting Alex explained the process of the City reimbursing CDC

    for their expenditures.

    Reimbursement: The City provides an initial fund from MAD collections as operating capital for the

    CDC/MAD. As checks written against those funds draw down the balance of that fund CDC requests

    reimbursement by submitting a register of the individual checks and the amount, the City reviews the list

    for appropriateness of use of the MAD funds and provides fresh capital to continue operations.

    Discussion regarding reporting of information to the OC recognized that the list of checks written had

    some shortcomings: timeliness for one and lack of ability to compare that information with budget andfor making projections and decisions.

    A concept of Operating Analysis Reports was established and Alex will try to have sample reportsavailable for the next OC meeting. A picture is worth . . . . . . . The reports will include, but not limited

    to, budget amounts, year to date total expenditures, variances with budget, detailed current month

    expenditures for each of the budget categories as well as reports on each contract.

    Once we see an example of the format it may need some tweaking. We will not import a lot of data into

    the reports until we are comfortable with formats.

    This is a work in progress and will result in good information for not only the OC but for the CDC

    Project Manager and Board.
