OTHER REQUIRED INFORMATION The Housing Authority, in its capacity as the housing successor to the former Redevelopment Agency, is also required to conduct an independent financial audit for the previous fiscal year and to prepare a report on its housing activities as specified in Health and Safety Code Section 34176.1(f). The audit, report, and the Housing Authority budget will be presented to the Housing Authority Board under separate cover. The Housing Authority recommends legislation to address the State of California Department of Finance’s refusal to use Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds (RPTTF) to pay Housing Authority administrative costs relating to the transferred housing assets and obligations of former Redevelopment Agencies. In addition, the Housing Authority recommends legislation to address the impacts of “Accessory Dwelling Units” by right (SB1069) on sewer infrastructure, traffic, and parking in residential zones, as an unfunded mandate.
