DISCUSSION
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Sunnyvale was dissolved pursuant to the Redevelopment Dissolution Act (AB 1x 26, as amended by AB 1484 and as further amended by SB 107) on February 1, 2012. Prior to it dissolution and in accordance with the provisions of the Dissolution Act, the City of Sunnyvale elected to act as the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency. AB 1484 which amended the original Dissolution Act, made clear that the Successor Agency is a separate public entity from the City. Since the enactment of AB 1484 the Successor Agency has had limited need to meet and when it has met has functioned in accordance with the rules governing the City of Sunnyvale for the conduct of meetings. In order to ensure that the business of the Successor Agency is being conducted in accordance with appropriate procedures, the City staff is proposing that the Successor Agency adopt procedures for the conduct of the Successor Agency business, including designating the officers of the Successor Agency, the quorum requirements for meetings of the Successor Agency and vote requirements for actions of the Successor Agency.
The attached resolution designates the City Council as the governing body of the Successor Agency and designates that the Mayor of the City shall act as chair of the Successor Agency. The Vice-Mayor is designated to act as the vice-chair of the Successor Agency. The resolution also designates that the City Manager shall act as the Executive Director of the Successor Agency and the City Finance Director shall act as the Treasurer of the Successor Agency. The City Clerk will act as the Secretary of the Successor Agency. The City Attorney will act as the Successor Agency Attorney.
The attached resolution also provides that regular meeting of the Successor Agency will be held at the same time and day as the City Council regular meeting and will be conducted in accordance with the procedures for the conduct of City Council meetings. A majority of the members of the Successor Agency shall be necessary for a quorum at a meeting and a majority of those present and voting shall be required for the Successor Agency to take any action.
