CA Health & Safety Code Section 34179.7

Upon full payment of the amounts determined in subdivision (d) or (e) of Section 34179.6 as reported by the county auditor-controller pursuant to subdivision (g) of Section 34179.6 and of any amounts due as determined by Section 34183.5, or upon a final judicial determination of the amounts due and confirmation that those amounts have been paid by the county auditor-controller, or upon entering into a written installment payment plan with the department for payment of the amounts due, the department shall issue, within five business days, a finding of completion of the requirements of Section 34179.6 to the successor agency.

(a)

Notwithstanding any other of law, if a successor agency fails by December 31, 2015, to pay, or to enter into a written installment payment plan with the department for the payment of, the amounts determined in subdivision (d) or (e) of Section 34179.6, or the amounts determined by Section 34183.5, the successor agency shall never receive a finding of completion.

(b)

If a successor agency, city, county, or city and county pays, or enters into a written installment payment plan with the department for the payment of the amounts determined in subdivision (d) or (e) of Section 34179.6 or the amounts determined by Section 34183.5, and the successor agency, city, county, or city and county subsequently receives a final judicial determination that reduces or eliminates the amounts determined, an enforceable obligation for the reimbursement of the excess amounts paid shall be created and the obligation to make any payments in excess of the amount determined by a final judicial determination shall be canceled and be of no further force or effect.

(c)

If, upon consultation with the county auditor-controller, the department finds that a successor agency, city, county, or city and county has failed to fully make one or more payments agreed to in the written installment payment plan, the following shall occur unless the county auditor-controller reports within 10 business days that the successor agency, city, county, or city and county has made the entirety of the incomplete payment or payments:

(1)

Section 34191.3, subdivision (b) of Section 34191.4, and Section 34191.5 shall not apply to the successor agency.

(2)

Oversight board actions taken under subdivision (b) of Section 34191.4 shall no longer be effective. Any loan agreements entered into between the redevelopment agency and the city, county, or city and county that created the redevelopment agency that were deemed enforceable obligations pursuant to such oversight board actions shall no longer be enforceable obligations.

(3)

If the department has approved a long-range property management plan for the successor agency, that plan shall no longer be effective. Any property that has not been disposed of through the plan prior to the nonpayment discussed in this subdivision shall be disposed of pursuant to Section 34181.

(4)

If applicable, the successor agency’s Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall cease to be effective. However, to ensure the flow of lawful payments to third parties is not impeded, the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule shall remain operative until the successor agency’s next Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule is approved and becomes operative pursuant to Section 34177.

(d)

Subdivision (c) shall not be construed to prevent the department from working with a successor agency, city, county, or city and county to amend the terms of a written installment payment plan if the department determines the amendments are necessitated by the successor agency’s, city’s, county’s, or city and county’s fiscal situation.
