1 -A: Conference with Legal Counsel — Existing Litigation —
Litigation has been initiated formally pursuant to Government Code
Section 54956.9 (d)(1) — Gauthier v. Paredes, Los Angeles Superior
Court Case Number SC116238
The City Attorney advised this matter was heard and no reportable action
was taken.
1 -B: Conference with Legal Counsel — Existing Litigation —
Litigation has been initiated formally pursuant to Government Code
Section 54956.9 (d)(1) — City of Santa Monica et al. v. California
Department of Finance et al., Sacramento Superior Court Case
October 22, 2013
Number 34- 2013 - 80001383
City Attorney Marsha Moutrie reported on the following: this lawsuit
arises from the City of Santa Monica's lawsuit against the California
Department of Finance regarding redevelopment obligations to the State.
This lawsuit is about the City's obligations to repay the Department of
Finance cash that the City had acquired through its receipt of
redevelopment funds. At various times, the State has claimed that the
City owes the State up to $81 million dollars for this portion of the City's
redevelopment obligations. The City Attorney recommends a settlement
that would be effectuated through a payment to the State in the amount of
$56,784,229. Settlement is recommended because it will save the City at
least $10.7 million and it will protect the City against a "clawback" of that
amount. A clawback occurs when the state exercises the authority it has
under current law to withhold tax receipts that would otherwise be owed
to the City. Those receipts might come from property taxes or sales taxes.
Because the state has that unusual power, they have a great deal of
leverage in effectuating settlements with cities. In summary, the City
Attorney believes that this settlement will save the City $10.7 million,
believes it will protect the City against a clawback of more than the
amount of the settlement, and it also has other benefits to the City,
including that it ratifies the City's use of $10M in loan proceeds for
affordable housing, which is why the City Attorney is taking the unusual
step of recommending a settlement that large.
Motion by Mayor O'Connor, seconded by Councilmember Davis, to
approve Settlement No. 9811 (CCS). The motion was approved by the
following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Vazquez, Davis, Holbrook, Winterer,
