Summary
At a regular meeting, the Solano Consolidated Oversight Board approved recognized obligation payment schedules (ROPS) and administrative budgets for the successor agencies of Fairfield, the city identified in the record as "Suun," Vacaville and Vallejo; all four measures passed unanimously, with dollar amounts and offsets described by city finance staff.
The Solano Consolidated Oversight Board on an unrecorded date approved recognized obligation payment schedules (ROPS) and administrative budgets for successor agencies in Fairfield, the city identified in the record as "Suun," Vacaville and Vallejo, voting 5–0 on each item.
Miles Dixon, who identified himself as the county manager for the City of Fairfield, told the board the Fairfield successor agency is requesting repayment that would include $2.1 million to retire two Highway 12 RDA loan obligations and $109,000 to repay a home loan used to purchase a domestic violence shelter. "The city of Fairfield is requesting to pay off that $2.1 million and reduce the obligations in the future for the successor agency," Dixon said, adding the home loan is from "home funds" and repaid dollars could be repurposed for low-income loans or grants.
Elizabeth Luna, identified as Finance Manager for the city named in the transcript as "Suun," presented her agency's ROPS at $4.9 million for 2026–27, with roughly $4.7 million for enforceable obligations and $200,000 for administrative expenses. "All items presented in these ROPS have been previously reviewed and approved by the successor agency and the Board," Luna said.
Ken Motsmi, Director of Finance for the City of Vacaville, requested $3,096,562 from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF), of which $2,846,562 was for enforceable obligations and $250,000 for administration. Motsmi told the board the Vacaville ROPS also applies $1.5 million in other funds and $1.3 million in reserves to offset obligations.
Florida Cruz, Assistant Finance Director for the City of Vallejo, said Vallejo requested $1,093,737 from the RPTTF for 2026–27 (about $1,047,737 in enforceable obligations), including advances and a housing set‑aside bond payment; administrative expenses were listed at $46,000.
Board members asked routine clarifying questions about shelter operating costs in the Fairfield presentation; no substantive amendments were made to any ROPS. Motions to approve the schedules were made and seconded on the record; the clerk recorded each adoption as "so ordered by a vote of 5 0." The items' staff presenters stated there were no new items on their respective ROPS and that many line items had been previously approved by successor agencies.
