AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: October 6, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Michelle G. Ramirez, Acting City Manager
PREPARED BY: Michelle G. Ramirez, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: BUDGET APPROPRIATION FOR SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR SERVICES
RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City of Lynwood Housing Authority Board adopt the attached resolution entitled "A
RESOLUTION OF THE LYNWOOD HOUSING AUTHORITY AS HOUSING SUCCESSOR TO THE
LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AUTHORIZING THE ALLOCATION OF UNAPPROPRIATED
LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING ASSET FUND (LMIHAF) BALANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF
$111,058.25 FOR SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR SERVICES PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT RELATED TO ROGEL, ET AL. V. STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE, ET AL., TO COVER THE COST OF SAID SERVICES”.
Background:
In 2006, an action (“Rogel I”) was brought against the former Lynwood Redevelopment Agency (the “Former
Agency”), by a group of taxpayers and affordable housing advocates (the “Plaintiffs”). The Plaintiffs alleged that
the Former Agency had failed to ensure the development of affordable housing in the City of Lynwood by not
making deposits into the Former Agency’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (the “LMIHAF”) as
required by Section 33334.3 of the California Health and Safety Code. A settlement was reached in 2009, which
set forth the obligations of the Former Agency to construct affordable housing units by making the necessary
deposits into the LMIHAF.
In 2013, after passage of the redevelopment dissolution law (the “Dissolution Law”), the Plaintiffs secured a
judgment (the “Rogel I Judgment”) which specifically required the construction of affordable income housing units
and required the Successor Agency to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) to make
payments into the LMIHAF in order to cover the cost of constructing the housing units and to pay the legal
expenses incurred by the Plaintiffs (the “Rogel I Obligations”). In addition, the Rogel I Judgment required the
Successor Agency to report these obligations to the California Department of Finance (the “DOF”) on its
Recognized Obligation Payments Schedule (“ROPS”) 14-15A (the “Rogel I ROPS Items”).
In 2014, the DOF issued a letter, which determined that the Rogel I ROPS Items were not Enforceable
Obligations under the Dissolution Law. In response, the Plaintiffs filed an action against the DOF, the California
Lynwood Housing Authority - Page 8 of 49
Director of Finance, the Auditor-Controller of Los Angeles County, the City of Lynwood in its capacity as
Successor Agency, the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency and the Lynwood Housing Authority to, among
other things, enforce the Rogel I Obligations. Because of this action, on February 10, 2017, the Rogel Settlement
Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) was entered into by all defendants in the case declaring that the Rogel I
Obligations were an enforceable obligation and that certain amounts would be paid to the Successor Agency for
deposit into the LMIHAF.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the DOF has agreed to approve all future ROPS items with
respect to the Rogel I Obligations until the Rogel I Obligations are satisfied in full. Furthermore, the DOF agreed
to not refuse to approve future ROPS items submitted by the Successor Agency so long as there is adequate
documentation to support the need of said funds to fulfill obligations associated with the Rogel I Judgment and
Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to the Rogel I Judgment, until all Rogel I Obligations have been satisfied in full, the Agency shall engage
a mutually agreed upon third party Administrator to monitor all Rogel activity and report its findings to all parties
involved.
On November 19, 2019, the Lynwood Housing Authority entered into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA)
with Kealoha for third party administrator services for said project in a not to exceed amount of $150,000. Of this
amount, $38,941.75 was spent in Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20. The balance of $111,058.25.needs to be carried
over into the FY 2020-21 to complete the tasks of the executed PSA.
Discussion and Analysis:
On April 14, 2020, the California Department of Finance approved the $150,000 for the ROPS 20-21 period;
however, the funds were not included in the Authorities FY 2020-21 budget for expenditures. Staff is requesting
authorization to allocate said funds from the unappropriated fund balance to cover cost associated with services
provided by the third party administrator to satisfy Rogel I Obligations mandated by said Settlement Agreement.
The Project will be a four-story, multi-family building consisting of sixty-six affordable housing units plus one
management unit. It will include a mix of forty-seven one-bedroom units, eighteen two-bedroom units and two
three-bedroom units, for a total construction cost of approximately $17,000,000.
The Consultant’s Agreement includes the following services:
Participate in all relevant meetings
Review various historical documents
Verify through public documents and exterior inspections completed replacement units
Review building plans, specs and budgets for proposed Development
Review credentials of Contractors
Verify existence and maintenance of Rogel funds
Monitor Progress of Construction
Monitor placing developed units into service
Maintain detailed records
Verify qualifying covenants are recorded
Prepare bi-monthly reports
Pursuant to line item No. 23 of the approved Successor Agency’s ROPS 20-21, $150,000 in RPTTF was
deposited into the Housing Authorities Rogel 1 account for this project and therefore a request for authorization to
use said funds in order.
Fiscal Impact:
There will be no impact to the General Fund. Funds for Settlement Administrator services will come from the
unappropriated fund balance of the Lynwood Housing Authority’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund
(LMIHAF).

ADMINISTRATOR SERVICES PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A

In addition, the Rogel I Judgment required the Successor Agency to report these

WHEREAS, in 2014, the DOF issued a letter, which determined that the Rogel I
ROPS Items were not Enforceable Obligations under the Dissolution Law. In response,
the Plaintiffs filed an action against the DOF, the California Director of Finance, the

Because of this action, on February 10, 2017, the Rogel Settlement Agreement (the
“Settlement Agreement”) was entered into by all defendants in the case declaring that the
Rogel I Obligations were an enforceable obligation and that certain amounts would be

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Rogel I Judgment, until all Rogel I Obligations have

for the ROPS 20-21 period; however, the funds were not included in the Authorities FY
2020-21 budget for expenditures; and
WHEREAS, out of the originally approved $150,000, there is $111,058.25 of
unused funds left that need to be carried forwarded into the FY 2020-21 Authority budget
to be used to complete the tasks of the original agreement; and
WHEREAS, staff is requesting authorization to allocate said funds from the
unappropriated fund balance to cover cost associated with services provided by the third
party administrator to satisfy Rogel I Obligations mandated by said Settlement
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to line item No. 23 of the approved Successor Agency’s
ROPS 20-21, $150,000 in RPTTF was deposited into the Housing Authorities Rogel 1
account for this project and therefore a request for authorization to use said funds in order;
and
WHEREAS, the Administrator services outlined in consultant scope are a required
element in the fulfillment of the Rogel Settlement Obligation, therefore funding for an
agreement for said services is in order.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD OF THE CITY OF
LYNWOOD DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Lynwood Housing Authority herby authorizes the allocation of
$111,058.25 from the unappropriated LMIHAF (“Rogel I”) fund balance for Settlement

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: October 6, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Michelle G. Ramirez, Acting City Manager
PREPARED BY: Michelle G. Ramirez, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: BUDGET APPROPRIATION FOR KANE, BALLMER & BERKMAN, A
PROFESSIONAL LAW CORPORATION, FOR SPECIFIED LEGAL SERVICES FOR
THE LYNWOOD HOUSING AUTHORITY
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City of Lynwood Housing Authority Board adopt the attached resolution entitled “A
RESOLUTION OF THE LYNWOOD HOUSING AUTHORITY AS HOUSING SUCCESSOR TO THE
LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AUTHORIZING THE ALLOCATION OF UNAPPROPRIATED
LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING ASSET FUND (LMIHAF) IN THE AMOUNT OF $80,000 FOR
DESIGNATED LEGAL SERVICES TO THE LYNWOOD HOUSING AUTHORITY PROVIDED BY KANE,
BALLMER & BERKMAN, A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION.”
Background:
In 2017, the Lynwood Housing Authority entered into an agreement with the law firm of Kane Ballmer & Berkman
(“KBB”), a professional law corporation, to assist with the complicated issues involving a lawsuit (the “Rogel I
Judgment”) and settlement as related to the construction of affordable housing units. KBB has provided ongoing
legal representation in connection with the Rogel I Judgment including the negotiation, drafting, and
implementation of a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) with Lynwood Family Apartments (the
developer contracted to produce the affordable housing units) and the issuance of Housing Bond financing for the
affordable housing units. The Lynwood Housing Authority needs to continue the services of KBB until the
Lynwood Housing Authority has satisfied the Rogel I Judgment. However, it was recently discovered that the
funding needed for KBB services was not included in the City's FY 2020-21 Annual Operating Budget. It is now
being requested to approve the attached resolution that includes the needed budget adjustment to the City's FY
2020-21 Annual Operating Budget to cover expenditures as related to special legal counsel for the Lynwood
Housing as related to the Rogel I Judgment.
Discussion and Analysis:
KBB is a law firm with a long history of representation of public entities in matters involving the negotiation of
Lynwood Housing Authority - Page 46 of 49
disposition and development agreements for significant projects. KBB has represented the City of Lynwood and
its constituent entities for more than two decades. The firm is intimately familiar with and has worked on many of
the more significant projects in the City. KBB is currently providing designated legal services to the Lynwood
Housing Authority as related to the Rogel I Judgment. A budget adjustment is needed to the City's FY 2020-21
Annual Operating Budget in an amount not to exceed $80,000 to continue these services, as funds were
inadvertently not included at the time the budget was completed.
Fiscal Impact:
There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund. Funds for KBB services will come from the unappropriated
fund balance of the Lynwood Housing Authority’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF).
