Councilmember Winterer On order of the Mayor, the City Council recessed at 5:34 p.m., to consider arrived at 5:34 p.m. closed sessions and returned at 6:42 p.m., with Mayor Pro Tent O'Day absent, to report the following: 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).
